@melaniedscott I make my soup without bacon! I use ham instead. So yummy! I would love to add in all the yummy stuff you do (Sometimes I will) but I have a very picky son. I also try to take care of the BF’s mom because he is so attached to her, and I don’t want to see him in pain. Although a lot of the time I want to give…

Well I didn't kill it yesterday but it wasn't crappy either. I think I ate right at my calories. My diary literally was at 0 amazing. Ran (Read slow as heck) 25 minutes, walked 25 minutes. Didn't do any of my other exercises I wanted to do, but hey that is okay. There is always today. How is everyone doing? I know a lot of…

He probably doesn't even realize he is being distant then. Some families are just not very close. My exes family never even got together for holidays. My daughters grandpa lived 2 blocks away and didn't see her for 3 years. I would call and invite them over, or see if I could stop by. Was always told no. I just gave up,…

Honestly, if he isn't even participating in his children's lives. I would consult a divorce attorney see what options they are. Alimony and child support they thought she would get. If I thought I could live off of this, or make enough to have a decent life, then I would work on a plan to leave. My happiness, and my…

Good morning and excellent week everyone. Are we ready for a new one? This week’s challenge: Wall sits sit on the wall for 30 seconds, 3 times for 4 days. 10 points Look back at your goals that we talked about in week 1. List steps in accomplishing these goals. Please post them. I would love to see everyone’s plans on…

@mbam89 jump right in! We are pretty friendly here. @cdgibson1 A personal trainer is serious business. Great job taking control. You can do it. Just so you guys know this thread slows down on the weekends. So people aren't ignoring you, just busy living life.

@Luv2Dispatch911 Well that is great that you can get up and move some. Plus supportive coworkers is awesome.

1.My weight has been fluctuating the last 2 weeks. It has just made me more determined to stick to my plan. 2. Went for a hike that I did last year (40 pounds heavier). It took me about half the time as last year, and I had a 3 month old puppy with me. (stopped for lots of petting from strangers.) 3. Went roller skating…

@Luv2Dispatch911 Oh days are great! I understand missing the headset. Ours were on these long cords (12 feet I think) and we had moving desks, so we could stand. Can you stand up and walk around while you still have your headset on? If you really want to get moving while at work, there are mini bikes and steppers you can…

@rachel0778 I think I did get that Mojo, it saw me through yesterday. I hope it carries on through until at least Monday (or is that greedy?) I love that you take your dog to day care for a treat. Sounds like you have a super busy few days coming. (No surprise there.) Great job pre-planning as much as you can.…

Sorry I was out yesterday. Busy day. Did some hiking and roller skating. So made it under calories, had my veggies, and made all my water. I have another busy weekend planned. Hope everyone is doing well and has a great weekend. Don't forget your challenges.

@Rachel0778 so glad you are getting back in your groove. Send some of your MOJO my way. @Evamutt glad things went well with hubby, and junibee is liking his new home. @ShyCush6 congratulations on the promotion. Good luck, stay strong and we will be here when you are ready to be back. @janetay01 I am doing great on the…

@Kenda2427 The spread sheet is set to view only. Did you want us to request the ability to edit? (It will send you an email for each person who does this.)

@janetay01 I know that feeling. I don't have much time to respond either. Had a not so great day yesterday. Hoping today is better! Do not eat all the food!

@raebeebaby well happy early birthday! My BF is the day before. @germaine_yee Glad you could make it. This will be a fun place to help keep everyone accountable.

On the plus side I completed day 2 of fruit and veggies/day 2 of water intake. Yesterday I had broccoli, celery, potato, carrots, and 2 kinds of onions. Does pickle count as a veggie?

Yesterday, I was craving salt! Lots and lots of salt. I ate a half jar of pickles. Went overboard on lunch (ate 2x planned) then went home and had chips and french onion dip. Then a half a bag of starburst mini's. Dinner was 2 bowls of homemade potato soup, with cheese, sour cream and green onions with garlic bread on the…

@ShyCush6 oh my gosh, this is so me today. I was starving this morning. Ate almost a whole jar of pickles. Planned on only eating half the Chinese I bought ate it all, then ate some Starbursts. I'm not hungry, but I still want to eat everything.

@synchkat I dislike the whole beard craze too. I can handle a goatee, but not a beard. There are very few guys that I think look good with a beard. Blech.

Trying to convince myself to go run during my lunch break.

I am excited as well. I love that we are so low key, but there is support! I have realized I am a very competitive person, but this is a refreshing place to come, and know I am not letting anyone down if I am having a rough day or two! We already have a ton of people signed up. So great to see.

@rachel0778 Good job getting back to it on Saturday. Some time you just need to have your cake and eat it too! @janetay01 It is quiet here. Good job hopping back on the wagon. How are you doing on your other challenges? I just PM'd our leader for the Dada questions. I don't have house colors either. I am thinking I am…

@starjam25 I missed your wall sit Challenge. I will have to put it on next week. Had a great day yesterday! Stayed under calories, made my steps, drank all the waters. I did 2 veggies. Peas, a cucumber avocado salad, and a green bell pepper. Even had cake and ice cream for my mom's birthday. I just did very small portions…

Alright so our challenges will be: 2 fruits or veggies for 5 days (5 points) Drink at least 64 ounces of water per day for 5 days (5 points) Move for 5 miles during the week. However you want to, as long as you do it physically.

This weekend was a great weekend for me. 1. I didn't let the BF's snacking , lead to me consuming mass amounts of junk food during movie night. 2. I did 40 squats this weekend. (Bad knees so this was fantastic.) 3. Only ate half my breakfast because I was full. I didn't eat all my yummy fabulous pancakes. 4. I resisted…

@lucypstacy 15 pounds is a great start! You can do this @melaniedscott You are doing so great handling your injury and recovery. I have heard of the Dresden files, but never watched/read them. Your beef stew sounds wonderful. I cook in my crock pot 3-4 times a week. Saturday we did pork chops in cream of mushroom soup. It…

@azsundancer No problem. We love hearing from you. @TrkyVic0327 There is no need to share your measurements unless you want to. :) I just wanted everyone to have a starting point for the break period. @starjam25 The weekend flew by. Saturday I did some extra mini challenges, tried the cardio video that was posted on here.…
