  • @2020pinktogo I am sorry about your grandma. @lpeltenburg great job on your best run. I didn't set too many goals this weekend, finish 7k, stay hydrated, get steps, squat challenge, don't go crazy on food. I did awesome! I finished the 7k 3 minutes faster than I did last September, in 3000 feet higher elevation and hills.…
  • @TerriRichardson112 great job on the weight loss. I didn't hit all my goals, came close on most. Did get my squat day in, worked hard. We went out of town last night, was a 3 hour scenic drive through the mountains. Today's goal, finish the 7k, and enjoy myself. Oh and squat challenge. Have an awesome Saturday.
  • @janetay01 I am so glad you shared with your hubby, and realize you aren't able to assist him on the issue. It takes a lot to admit when you can't do something.
  • Last night I went roller skating even though I was tired (3 hours of sleep) made it through but the last 15 minutes of a 2.5 hour session. Then laying in bed, noticed that I am getting spots where I am losing fat on my thighs. So they are no longer big rounded blobs of fat. Now they are muscle (can see some muscle, and…
  • @evamutt I never turn down a prayer! Sounds like your volunteer time was great (They sure are lucky to have you.) I think 90 minute slow walk is great for that time. I wish I didn’t love food, then I would be able to lose this weight no problem. I love chicken, the BF on the other hand is meh when it comes to chicken .…
  • @2020pinktogo It is amazing I think hospital stays are harder on the family sometimes than the people in the hospital. They get lots of rest while the rest of us are worried. Make sure you take some time to take care of yourself too. Don't forget it is weigh in day!!!!! I had a decent day. Ended up working through my…
  • Welcome back! I hope your trip was fantastic.

  • @beerfoamy Oh I love those pants! I want them. @kingleahnidas We call them butt chins too, and they run strong in our family. I wonder if I will have one when I get to goal.
  • @clicketykeys How did your evaluation go? @hgsmith0920 Oh gosh I hope the hubby is okay, and you get it sorted out soon.  Great job on the weight loss. It is time for a happy dance!!! Even better job handling your stress. That is pretty cool that you live so close to your parents. @janetay01 I am completely done this week…
  • @lucy1752 Thank you. I am still fighting it today. It is so hard to not let your emotions rule your world. BTW I loved your post about your trip for donuts. It was very thoughtful, and I loved seeing how you thought your way out of it. Ooh and one of our vendors brought in donuts for us this morning. So far so good. Day is…
  • I was very upset last night. (read: want to cry myself to sleep, stuff my face until I threw up.) I didn't eat my feelings, which is normally my go to reaction. Instead, I finished my walk, laid on the couch and told myself it was okay to feel this way, that eating wouldn't make that feeling go away, and it wasn't worth…
  • @2020pinktogo Eek! Both in the hospital at the same time. I hope you are trying to take time for yourself. Praying for a speedy recovery for both of them, and that you keep your sanity. @lpeltenburg Sounds like hard work, but it will be so worth it, when it is the way you want it. Sounds like you have some good goals for…
  • @janetay01 I am glad you are starting to feel better. When I get really bad colds, sometimes I have to sleep in a reclining position. I pile up a whole bunch of blankets and my pillow, then lay back against that. For some reason it seems to help me. @wolfger I wouldn't worry too much about the weight gain. Some of it is…
  • @2020pinktogo Great job on your goals. I like the idea of how to handle depression. I go through it sometimes. My big sister gets it way worse than me though. It makes me feel helpless. @Skipper111 Sorry things were crazy, but great job staying mindful. I think yesterday was a good day for me. Except my focus at work. Some…
  • @ariel1116 It sounds like a fantastic day. Great job on all the exercise. I am sure the BBQ with hubby was wonderful.
  • @joan6630 I mostly lurk, but you guys inspire me. Try a tea! There are a lot of great energy teas (with caffeine) out there. Plus, it usually counts towards your water consumption. Or you can also just quit the caffeine all together. You will have a headache for a day or two, but your body will adjust to no caffeine after…
  • @rachel0778 Awesome job! I knew you could do it. You can do it this week as well. I love that you are pre-planning for it. Also, check out where you are staying, they might have a gym you can use.
  • 1. Made it to the gym 3 days in a row. (Never gone more than 2x in a week.) 2. Tried the rowing machine for the first time. 3. Noticing that I have muscles that are now showing in my thighs and butt. 4. My guy telling me I am getting more beautiful everyday. 5. Roller skating with my kids 2 times this week. 6. Kept working…
  • @janetay01 Are you feeling better? Hope you are enjoying your holiday. @evamutt How was the baby shower? Great job with the walking to counter balance those extra calories. @lallybc a 3 mile walk is awesome.  We had 6 inches of snow on Saturday. Most of it melted Sunday. @cliketykeys. That is a crazy nightmare. At least…
  • @mari_moulin I completely understand. I think we all get to that feeling that we aren't accomplishing anything and are overwhelmed by everything. I am a big list person and it seems to help me out. Make a general list of the things you want to get done for the month. Then each night make a list of things you are going to…
  • @janetay01 Feel better soon and give yourself a rest.
  • @rachel0778 Great job getting back on the healthy habit wagon. My BF will do challenges with me, but they aren't much of a challenge. He doesn't really try. I think I am going to have to do a sticker chart are something. So many stars and I get a reward. Have fun on your girls weekend. I know you can keep yourself…
  • @catvlmack Sometimes you just need a day to relax. Hope today is a great day for you. @skipper111 Your bunny is too cute. Glad they are okay. Enjoy your long weekend. @2020pinktogo Ugh, I hate when you can't sleep well. Here is to a quiet, uneventful day and feeling better. My day yesterday started off rough food wise. It…
  • @Skipper111 Second interview is awesome! Great job! I really hope you get better sleep. If you do think how much better you will be able to rock it.
  • @evamutt 2 months without much of a change? I think I would get discouraged. Great job keeping up on it, and making other changes to reach your goal. I am impressed The last 2 days were very bad for me on the eating front. For some reason, I needed to eat everything. Not sure why this has been happening lately. I have this…
  • 1. It was lightly raining when I went to pick up the kids from school. I am usually there 15 minutes early, and walk around the school. I really, really wanted to stay in the car. Instead, I made myself get out and walk. I did 2 laps around the school, and then was pacing in front of my daughters classroom. A lady came up…
  • @TerriRichardson112 Great job on your weight loss. Enjoy Amsterdam. @2020pinktogo I have the same problem. I have to time when I drink, to when I will be able to use the restroom. @catvlmack Way to look at the positive. No fast food for a month could be a great weight loss tool. Ugh, I have had a horrible two days. For…
  • Skipper111 Not sure if you figured it out or not, just add it under current weight on first tab.
  • @Evamutt Great job on the run, it gets easier. In December I couldn't even run for 30 seconds. Yesterday I jogged/run for 27 minutes. @kasey39 Stay strong you can do this. I bet some of that gain is water weight. Did you know women gain weight twice a month just from hormones? During shark week, and 2 weeks later. Stupid…
