Hello, Beautiful People! Not much to add tonight... it's very late, and I am just trying to keep from falling behind... *************************** Lanette - I am betting Pip would work me pretty hard... lol. Sorry about the store closures... we have missed our K-Marts since they closed here, several years ago. Cheri - Oh…

Aw, Thanks, Guys! I had a minor melt down over the holidays... Got a few pounds to work back off - but, I am on it! Hoping to have it off by my Birthday at the end of this month. A New Year... A New Chance to get some more of this pudge under control. Hugs! Re

Hello, Lovelies; Somebody made my butt sore... was it one of you?!? LOL. Man, I have done one lower body workout with the trainer, and a follow up LBW on my own... and I can feel every muscle below the waist. I am thinking that is a good thing. Tomorrow will be a third LBW -since Wednesday night is my first Arm workout…

Ladies, Ladies, Ladies... You go away for a few days and come back to 15 pages. *sighs* I did, however, have a few hours, today... so I have actually caught up with all of you. I didn't take notes, mind you - but I do have a general sense of how everybody is. I was VERY happy to discover that half of my weight gain in the…

Gratz, Jim! Looking Good. I hope I can give hope to every one, gophertracts. Truly, with focus and dedication, anyone can improve - age not withstanding. Hugs and Happy New Year to everybody! Re

Man, look at you guys... it's only the 2nd and you are already at 7 pages. *sigh* I can never keep up! Hi Karen! Thanks for coming to find me. I have had a serious melt-down this year for the holidays. It started even before Thanksgiving. I managed to eat every single thing that wasn't nailed down and I swear I pried a few…

testing something... sorry guys.

CICO is all there is... and as you lose weight, and your calorie allotment gets smaller, you learn what is really important to you... you figure out what you are willing to eat less of, so that you can have more of the other thing... you learn NOT to eat anything that isn't really great - cause you just don't have the…

For those of you that enjoyed the blog, I posted another one titled "Exercise Evangelist." myfitnesspal.com/blog/IremiaRe

Lenora, The Poem is just my rewrite of the lyrics to American Pie. It came to me as I was thinking about how long it had been since I started all this... and it just rolled out. Love you, back. Hugs! Re

Sorry Girls, but, unless you have been wearing a bra 24/7 since puberty, this is going to happen, anyway. You are just getting a bit earlier than most. Roll them up, or get them lifted and move on. :)

This - My Hubby used to give me a raft of "stuff" every time I mentioned calories or fat or anything diet related - because I had been on thousands during the first 18 years of our marriage and never had any success - so he just didn't want to hear it, again.... but now, after finally getting the whole CICO thing down, not…

Thanks, All. I am glad I have all of you along for the rest of the journey!

Thanks guys! You are all so sweet.

lol - I know - I only look short to the Husband. Thanks, Guys.

oh, I forgot to put that in, here... 5'4". My 6'2" husband affectionately calls me "Stumpy."

Hi Sara The whole story is in my blog - myfitnesspal.com/blog/IremiaRe/view/half-the-woman-i-used-to-be-941452#comments But basically, of late, my success has been based on Intermittent Fasting and exercise.... Both Cardio and Strength Training. Thanks so much for your kind words. Re

Aw, Shucks... Thanks Guys.

Thanks, Guys!

Thank you. I really wish I could tell you there was some magic formula to motivate someone - but, unfortunately, until your Sis is ready to motivate herself - it just isn't going to happen. She will have to have her own "Ah Ha Moment." You can't do this for somebody else - it's hard enough to do it for yourself. I hope she…

367 to 181

This is a difference of 15 years - and 180 pounds.

@jesslla - It get's better, Sugar... keep it up! There is nothing like knowing you can shop in any store, anywhere, and find something that will not only fit, but look good. Gratz on the 22's!!

Hugs for Everybody! Re in TX

All right... who are you and what have you done with our Lenora? LOL. xo Re in TX

Happy Saturday, Gorgeous Gals! I had to weigh in on what Chris said... I agree with it - every bit. One change at a time. I chose exercise as the first one - because for me, it's the most important. Calorie control was next... although I didn't concern myself with macros or anything, I did get the CICO thing going early…

:'( Rest in Peace, Sweet Gloria.

*sighs* 4 days into September and already 8 pages? Love you guys, but you are killing me, here. I am alive and well, North Texas is remarkably unscathed in all this, aside from the fact that the Dallas Metro Area is pretty much a "Fuel Free Zone" right now. I was fortunate to be able to fill up my car on Thursday evening,…
