Good morning everyone! It is so fun how active this thread is! I love it. @ShyCush6 - no need to apologize for anything! I think you are great at responding to everyones posts and giving great motivation and feedback! And your family calendar looks so nice! I wish I was creative like that. Mine would look more like those…

Wow! Miss a couple of days and I have a ton of reading to do to catch up! You guys are awesome! I love all the inspiration. You guys are funny, entertaining, helpful... There are some days where I think I might get in trouble for not getting any work done because I spend all my time on here. Well, I didn't have a bad…

Hi everyone. Well, I made it to class last night and it was a great workout! I am kind of excited they told us they are offering a few more times for the class, so I might be able to go at least twice a week now. Yay! Back to work-have a great day!

Good morning everyone! @CariTJR - good for you for getting back out there and doing it! You didn't let one bad run stop you from doing it! I have to tell myself that frequently. Don't let one bad day ruin all the progress you have already made! We went to work on the house again this last weekend. It was an ok weekend food…

Happy hump day everyone! @ngolden3320 - I hope your wash machine gets fixed soon! That happened to me a few weeks ago. It sucks having to haul all the laundry of 5 people (3 teenagers) to the Laundromat. Luckily my husband was able to fix it himself, but we had to order the part and wait for it. @ShyCush6 - great job on…

@CariTJR -great job on the running! Any time I've tried lately I am lucky to make it maybe 30 seconds before I have to walk again. Some day I will get there! That's an awesome accomplishment! @ChangeIsADecision Pinterest drink night sounds fun! Welcome @serenityfrye and @joycefarmer68! Have a great day!

Good Monday morning everyone! Sounds like everyone had a great weekend! We had some friends come visit from out of state, so that was fun to spend the weekend with them. But it also meant eating out, and a few too many drinks! But-Back at it today. I'm going to get right back on track! I will probably do the trampoline…

Good morning everyone! Its been a few days since I have checked in. Lots of catching up to do. Well, the weekend was ok. Lots of exercise with working on the house. We pretty much got the whole thing painted. 3 bedrooms, living room, kitchen, closets and bathrooms, ceiling and all. Up and down ladders all weekend long! My…

Good morning all. I haven't checked in for a while-but I have been keeping up with all of your updates! You all make me laugh! Good luck to everyone giving something up for lent! I usually don't even try, because I can never make it all the way through. @GillianSmith2 - I love your plan for lent! @ChangeIsADecision I hope…

Good morning! Well, I haven't gotten to 15,000 steps yet this week but I have been hitting at least 10,000. I'm still sore from the Skyrobics class at the trampoline park. That was fun, but it killed me! My back and my knees are not meant for this. But-I am going to keep going I think. Next week is closed because of Mardi…

Good morning everyone. Happy Tuesday! Well, I had a bad food weekend and yesterday I was feeling very unmotivated and blah... The scale is going to wrong direction. But enough with that! Back at it today. I will get my eating back on track, and get my steps in. I think I am going to up my step goal this week to 15,000. I…

Happy Friday everyone! Well, I have managed to get my 10,000 steps so far every day this week. But I am not sure if I am going to be able to do it today. Sitting at work all day, then off to Florida (6 hour car ride) after work. Somehow I have to try to get some steps in before we leave. The good news is that I will…

Ha ha! I'm with y'all on the weather! It is always this time of year that I start getting fed up with it, irritable, crabby... I am so ready for spring! And the crazy part is that it really isn't that bad here-I'm in Louisiana. It is nothing compared to MN/WI weather. But it is still too cold! But, despite the weather I am…

Wow-great job! Very inspiring!

Yay-I met my 10,000 step goal Saturday and Sunday. Now if I can just keep that up for the week! Its a lot harder when you sit at a desk all day. And my office is so small they would think I am crazy if I just started walking in circles. Ha ha... But-It is definitely motivating watching the number on the fitbit climb! My…

Good morning and happy Wednesday! I have just come to a realization that is kind of exciting. If I continue to do good with this, and work hard and stay within my goals I can possibly make it to onederland before my birthday at the end of April. That is kind of exciting, but scary at the same time. Exciting because I could…

Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a great weekend! I am happy to say that this weekend is the first in a long while that the scale actually went down from Friday to Monday instead of up like it usually does. Usually Monday morning I am up 2 or 3 pounds and by Friday I have finally worked off those extra pounds just to do…

Feel free to add me. I am in the same spot. At my heaviest I was almost 240. I am down to 218 now, looking to get to at least 150. Its been years since I have been there.

Wow-Great motivation! Happy Friday everyone! Going to work hard to get my steps in today and watch my food this morning, because we are going to a Hibachi place tonight for dinner for my son's birthday. I am excited-we don't go there often. I usually do better getting steps in on the weekends because I don't sit at a desk…

Yay-I hit 11,000 steps yesterday! Lets see if I can get there today!

Good morning. I am in the same boat with having a bad weekend, and because of it I was feeling kind of blah yesterday and questioning myself. But-I am not giving up! I kind of got a second wind before bed last night and got my steps up over 6,000 (which I was only at about 2,500 before that). Today I am back at it and I…

Yay-less than a full week since vacation and I made it back down to my Pre-Christmas weight! Now if I can just get through the weekend without gaining again. Happy Friday! Update-after adding a couple of you to my fitbit friends yesterday I got closer to my 10,000 step goal. I will get there! :)

Good morning all! Hope everyone is having a good day. A little about me-My name is Dana. I am 37 years old, Married with 3 kids. My youngest turned 15 yesterday-driving is a scary thing! I live in Louisiana, but am originally from Minnesota. My goal is to get healthier before I hit 40. Its amazing how time flies-so I know…

Good Morning and Happy New Year to everyone! It has been way too long since I have been on here, although I did log on every day. But I had horrible connection-so I didn't log any food or anything. But- I am back from vacation and back at it. Vacation was fun and I enjoyed my time without any food restrictions or calorie…

Happy Monday! Well, I am so excited we are heading to see family for Christmas this year! We are leaving on Wednesday, so I will be busy packing and getting all my last minute shopping done before then. I am trying to stay on track with my eating as much as I can, but the work outs have been non-existent lately. But at…

It is so nice outside right now! I was so looking forward to stopping at the track on my way home from work today to get a good, long walk in. That was until I realized an appointment I thought was tomorrow after work is actually today after work. Ugh. And I think its supposed to rain tomorrow. I just want one night where…

Check-in... It's been a while since I checked in, but I read all the posts daily. It seems like it is the time of year when everyone is busy. Christmas shopping, holiday planning, parties... So far I am pretty much staying on track. Weekends are the hardest (sounds like I am not alone). The scale isn't moving down as fast…

Yay! I'm so excited-I finally got past the 220 mark! I have been struggling with those 2-3 lbs going up and down and couldn't break it, but finally I am at 219.1! Next small goal-get past the 210 mark. I haven't been that low in years! I have gone up and down for the last several years going from about 212 to almost 240.…

Check-in! It is awesome to read everyone's posts! You are all doing great! Its the small changes every day that will make a big difference! I don't know why or how-but this time I think I am in a much better frame of mind to do this. I actually believe that I can! I keep telling myself it is just one day at a time. Just…
