Sorry, haven't tapped in for a bit here. Twas a rough Feb/early March. I'm just getting over my second round of flu (2 weeks sick out of 3 - Boo!) This second one knocked me way down, didn't eat for over 2 days, barely drank because every time I did it would feel like I was gagging and make me throw up. Chills, sweats, too…

Weigh in Saturday for me today. Snow is coming down hard, everything so pretty and white. SW: 310.0 GW: 150.0 Jan 01 - 289.7 Jan 04 - 289.9 (+0.2 for Jan) Jan 11 - 289.5 (-0.1 for Jan) Jan 18 - 286.2 (-3.5 for Jan) Jan 25 - 284.6 (-5.1 for Jan) Today I went under 25 pounds total weight loss. It's coming off a little slower…

So far behind on this thread, am skipping foward. This week was a rough one at work, never home before 10pm, not getting/taking lunch, first week since I've started that I haven't stuck to my gym schedule. We're snowed in currently, though working on breaking free from the garage. With the lack of workouts, I've at least…

It's been a yay-boo week for me. Boo, weights have been all over the place, slight trend down, maybe, but bouncing everywhere. Have been tired/unmotivated this week, not sleeping well at all - welcome back insomnia, haven't seen you in a while. On the yay side of things I had a couple of days I actually got out of work on…

@BrownSugar174 - Wahoooooo! Looking great! Man, I bet that feels good. I haven't seen size 14 in at least...let me think...30 years or so. Living for the day I'll see it again. Huge congratulations, such a marvelous NSV. Revel in it, shake a booty, and enjoy! :)

We survived our adventure to echo castle, my little knights and their chargers protected us and we saw an honest to goodness archer on the trail (someone with a compound bow heading down the trail and into the woods). NSV - I could outrun my boys in a 50 ft sprint today, which wowed them so that made me feel good that they…

Happy Sunday, everyone. Popped on the thread for some inspiration as today is a really REALLY unmotivated kind of day for me. Today's a great day for a jog down the trail! (otherwise known as, "I really don't want to...come on Hurley, get off your behind and do your exercise.") The boys are going to join me on the trail…

@BrownSugar174 I particularly love that last one. "Balance doesn't include punishment." If I'm going to go over in a day or have that piece of cake or whatever, rather than feel guilty about it, I'm going to enjoy the bajeebus out of it, factor it in, and move on. :) @speyerj Thank you! Right now, my focus is on keeping my…

NSV: Today was an unseasonably and pleasantly warm day at 55°F this afternoon (average temp here at this time of the year is 30°F for a high), so the boys and I hit the trails. The Glacial Drumlin trail runs right by here. My boys are 9 and 10 years old. They had their bikes and they pretended we were on a quest to the…

Gah, lost a whole big long post....short short version: My accomplishment this am, yummy smoked chicken, salami, and egg drop soup with veggies. 650 calories for the whole pot! Woot.

Yes! 289.9, boom. I made my goal for Dec, 20 pounds down. I am the proud new owner of a yellow belt. *grin* Now, a little about me. I may be a tad quirky and I seriously can't stand the color yellow, for the most part. "Have a nice day" canary yellow, pure primary, is tolerable, though not my favorite, but mar it with…

You look fabulous and what a wonderful beach! :) Hope you had a Merry Christmas with the family. Love your name change, by the way. SW: 310, CW today - 290.3 (goal by Dec 31 - 290) I am so close today to my goal, dreading the weight popping back up after my workout today. I. Am.. So... SORE. LOL Good workout today, felt…

Yes, I make the charts because it makes me happy...reveling in the process to celebrate the journey, kind of like rolling in treasure. I use MFP for logging and the Polar app tracks my activity tracker, but I've not found a "one size fits me" app for everything - plus what would be the fun in that? I couldn't alter it,…

Also had a potluck day today. I feel stuffed, but logged everything eaten - twice my normal lunch calories, but dinner won't be much and I'll stay within my calorie goal for the day. The salt, alone, will likely send me up 10 pounds. :p I've been drinking tons of water all afternoon. Ah well, hopefully it all evens out in…

Thank you, everyone. My little belt system gives me something to work for and it's fun for me, so hey. On a positive note, I've managed to hold it under 300 for 3 days, woot woot. Continuing to make my commitment to myself for 3 days at the gym minimum, scheduled M/W/S to coincide with the days I have the best chance of…

SW: 310 pounds GW: 160 pounds Nov 1: 310.0 Nov 9: 303.8 Week in review: My first week at a gym, made my goal of going three times, starting week two with a 1:1 session today. I've spent probably 90% of the week muscle sore, but not in a debilitating way, more of a "surprise, you used these muscles" kind of way. Feel pretty…

@speyerj, Congratulations on your big six-oh today! That is simply wonderful and I applaud you. That seems so far away, but so inspiring to see others do it. Gives me something to shoot for. When I was a kid, I do know I could climb up and hang from my legs from the monkey bars, but I don't really remember ever just…

Hello Everyone, I would also like to join, if I may. I am a 45 year old mother of two beautiful boys, wife, with a hectic, rewarding but incredibly stressful job that lends its own challenges to overcome to eat healthier and to carve out time for myself to exercise.

Congratulations on your success! Very inspiring. :)
