That is so awesome!!!!!!!!!! :drinker:

I am also in. I want to lose 20 pounds by the end of the year so my goal will be 10 pounds by Halloween. That would put me halfway there for the halfway time mark. I currently weigh 160. Are we going to have weekly challenges also.something to do with exercise or ?????! Thanks!

Since I started taking these vitamins, I swear my hair is growing faster than ever and I actually had to trim my nails for the first time ever the other day. :smile:

I am taking just a regular vitamin for active women but I made sure the folic and iron were good. I am also taking a calcium supplement.

HI, I was on here the end of June and then left when dh got very cold feet about trying for baby #4, He is slowly coming around and I have decided to join back up with this group. The only things that have changed are my children are all now enrolled in public edcuation and my current weight is 160. Looking forward to…

The Formula 303's (that I suggested earlier) main ingredient is the valerian root. :smile:

My MIL works for a chiropractor and massage place and they sell these pills called Formula 303s. They are suppose to be natural, knocked me out cold. Of course I don't normally have a hard time sleeping! I hope you get some good sleep soon!

My friend and I went for our hour walk this morning. Burnt 393 calories in 54 minutes because there were two hills. It is so peaceful and dark :grumble: out there at 5 am. Now I need to go do my sit-ups and crunches and some basic moves with our weight machine. I really have no idea what to do on it. :blushing:

:flowerforyou: Great post!!!

My bf and I go walking every morning at5 am and walk for an hour. It is a great feeling to be home at 6 am and know that the exercise for the day is done. I love the way I feel after I exercise. Congrats on starting a walking routine. :smile:

Oh how true, thanks for sharing! :flowerforyou: You are setting a good example for your family!

Hi, your post reminded me of me. I have three kids, the youngest is has Rett Syndrome and is very disabled. I am a 35 year old SAHM but work 6 hours on Monday. I walked with my best friend every morning at 5 am for an hour and we have been trying to do 5ks. Not as ambitious as you but working on it. Welcome to MFP!!…

Welcome to MFP, this is a great site! I think you have very realistic goals, best of luck to you on this journey!! :smile:

Still doing good, been wanting to eat alot these past couple of days but staying in my calories so I am happy! Still getting up at 4:30 am to go for an hour walk or walk / run. I just keep plugging away! :smile:

:flowerforyou: Hi and welcome to MFP!

Welcome to MFP! :flowerforyou:

:smile: That is terrific, you deserve to sound your own horn!

Oh my gosh, you are looking so good! WTG! :flowerforyou:

Hey Kim, so glad you are on here and I really enjoy our walks in the mornings. Love ya! :flowerforyou: Thanks for being you. My entire family is glad you are part of our lives from my dh to the kids but most especially me!

I have to vote for Marla, she always tells it like it is to me and even with her 9 children she has time for us. Love you Marla and the Black Team! The Black team and all the wonderful members have come to mean so much to me. I have fallen down twice for months both times and they welcomed me back with open arms.

I am not sure how long it takes to heal but I got this last year after I busted my butt on a 5K without proper shoes. I feel for you!:frown: It seems to be it took several weeks for me feet to feel better.

Thanks great words of wisdom especially for the weeks when the scale is higher and I swear it is laughing at me. :flowerforyou:

Sorry I am missing on here for a couple of days! The protein challenge sounds great but I usually go over my protein allotment anyway. LOL. Went for an hour walk today and yesterday both, burnt 446 calories today which is 146 MORE than yesterday using the exact same course. Difference is I started running part of it, my…

Thank you so much for sharing your story as it seems that every day is a struggle for me. I really needed this today!! :flowerforyou: Congratulations on your weight loss and for coming this far, you are doing awesome!

Crazy isn't it but it does burn calories. If I really want something extra to eat I go jump rope, it burns the calories fast and by the time I am done I usually don't want whatever sounded so good in the first place.

I have heard good things about Walk About the Pounds dvd. I have not used it myself.

I think it is fine, I still drink a Coke everyday and am still under my calories. I losted almost all of my weight two years ago and deprived myself of everything that I wanted. Everyday was a struggle and in the end I quit and binged day after day after day. This time I am allowing myself what I want to eat in moderation.…

Kath77 and themommie welcome to the group! :flowerforyou:

Just got home from a 29 minutes walked, burnt 176 calories according my HRM, I wanted to go farther but my shoes blew out last night and my friend let me try to pair of shoes she has only worn twice. They started killing my heel. I need a new pair of shoes but this month I have to get the kids ready to go to school, so we…

Thanks I can use all the help I can get! LOL! By the way your pics look awesome!
