I have a Schipperke named Inky. :love: Love her!

Hi My parents went through times that they fought like cats and dogs--tigers and wolves. They stuck it out and have 62 years together. They know each other very well and have settled bliss. There are people who go from one relationship to the next searching for happiness or trying to be happy. They have not built a…

Read this for instructions on how to do that: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/654536-in-place-of-a-road-map-2-0-revised-7-2-12 Hi again! :flowerforyou: This post was very helpful. Perhaps, I should eat about 2,000 calories a day and keep exercising. My body might be holding on to the fat because I'm not eating…

HI :flowerforyou: So far so good. October 1 ~ 2.25 hour bike ride for 34.75 miles at an average of 14.6 mph. Today, I'm going again. ~Crosstitcher0563

Hi :flowerforyou: I am bicycling from Seattle to Portland for my 50th birthday next year. I need friends and motivation to inspire me to the finish line! It would be nice to lose at least some of the weight along the way! I want to be one of those little old ladies that are doing triathalons at 80. :glasses:…

:flowerforyou: Hi I joined a gym this summer. This last month, I've been there for about 2-3 hours a day! I mostly go to watch TV. :wink:

Hi :flowerforyou: If you are worried about retaining weight gain that is water, cut back on your salt intake. Cutting back on water can make you dehydrated. One of the symptoms of dehydration is being tired or sleepy. You want to stay hydrated and healhty. Your yoga teacher was correct that you should drink 8 8oz glasses…

Hi:smile: I bought a total gym and hardly used it. It is in the garage right now collecting dust. I'd sell it to you if you were closer. I thought I would like it, but I didn't use it. Currently, I'm going to a gym.

Welcome! I got more work to do than you! Hope you stick with it too!

I lost a little... 199.6 this week

I want to join!:smile: I'm 201 lbs today.

I want to join a team too!:wink:

Hi everyone :flowerforyou: I lost my motivation this last month. I was going to lose this weight in order to go back to church with my family at Christmas where I would see an old flame. I wanted to impress him with my weight loss. Someone came along to say that he not only wouldn't care, he wouldn't notice. I realized…

I bought a bag of kettle chips (Honey Dijon) and a bag of chocolate brownie cookies yesterday:noway: . At least I didn't eat all of it! :tongue: I lost my motivation.:sad:

Hi everyone! :flowerforyou: I've lost 27 pounds and I have moved to being in the 190's.... specifically 198 today! Yay! :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: On to the next goal!

Hamburger Stroganoff.. mmm.

Hi Everyone!:flowerforyou: I'm down from size 18 to size 16 in my jeans. Yay! Size 10 here I come!:drinker: :bigsmile:

Hi :drinker: I do a variety of machines at the YMCA. The elliptical makes me sweat the most and I love it! I do the bicycle, the rowing machine, and the treadmill also. I go to beginning yoga on Monday. I'm want to try a step aerobic class soon. I just started cross country hiking. We are doing some challenging hikes in…

Hi Everyone :flowerforyou: We have 2 members. Please join us if you are looking for a team.:smile: WK 2 - 2 pounds lost 5lbs to go to first goal by end of March. What are your goals? I work out about 1 1/2 hours a day at the YMCA plus I go crosscountry hiking once a week. How much do you exercise?

Last night, one person made a comment that my face looked thinner. Everyone is encouraging, but not many comments on how different I look. Thanks everybody!:glasses:

:flowerforyou: Hi! Congrat's on the 6 pounds! My YMCA trainer said that you lose in your legs and arms first. Ladies lose in their torso last because we need to have that body fat in order to have a baby in a famine. It is genetics. I've lost 4 inches off my hips and 5 inches off my waist so far. It's been 9 weeks and I've…

Hi Everyone :flowerforyou: I lost my first 20 pounds! :drinker: :glasses: :smokin: :bigsmile: It's been 9 weeks and I'm 2 pounds ahead of the goal of 2 pounds a week. :drinker: :glasses: :smokin: :bigsmile: I got a long way to go, and I have a good start. Almost have reached the first goal. Why do you not weigh the least…

Hi :flowerforyou: I do 6 arm exercises with free weights before I do my cardio. I was told that it would help increase my heart rate while doing cardio. I have no idea if this is true, but I like doing it this way.

Hi I started showing Schipperke dogs. I have only one so far.

Hi :flowerforyou: Every 5 pounds, I get a eyebrow wax. Every 20 pounds, I get a massage. If I lose all the weight, I get 5 new dresses and a kennel cart. The kennel cart is for my dog showing/kennel business. I'm saving the dresses until the end even though I'm earning them for every 18 pounds. I'm going to sew the 4 of…

Hi :flowerforyou: I know how you feel. I lost 10 pounds quickly than it was a fight for the next few weeks to lose 1 pound. I consider plateaus practice for maintaining your weight! I have inspirational things taped on the wall behind my computer. One says: "One of the best ways to improve self esteem and to accomplish…

I have 3x5 cards with verses on them to meditate on and I'm reading textbooks for online college classes. I haven't read a good book since Harry Potter.

1. Looking hot for next christmas candlelight service at church. Yes, a man is involved here. 2. My size 10 wardrobe packed away -- such nice clothes--including a black leather mini-skirt! I have other motivations, but those are the top 2.

A few things keep me on track: 1. My family is coming for Christmas, and we are going to go to a candlelight service where I will see a guy that I like that rejected me. If I have to go (and I want to go with my family) then I want to look HOT in a size 10 Christmas dress. It may be pathetic, but this motivates me the most…

Week one is what we lost since the team started which was about a week ago. :flowerforyou: Welcome! Thanks for joining! :flowerforyou:
