I did it! I have been working towards this for about 18 months, hoping to get there by late May, and today I swam 1/2 mile, doing the crawl stroke, non stop! By the way, Chocolickkyss, I like your new pic. Here's to smart choices!

I'm really tired - just got 3 1/2 hrs of sleep last night, so just popped in to say hi. Drank a little more water than usual today - could still improve. Good night!

I did manage to successfully give blood again yesterday, but it wiped me out so much that I didn't post last night. I went to bed an hour early instead (that's when I usually make time for this.) Anyway, I am fine, well and good, and I think that my challenge for myself for this week is to drink more. I am really bad about…

It's been a good but busy weekend. Hope you all had the same! See you tomorrow - I'm going to try to give blood again. Wish me luch on passing the iron test so I don't get deferred!

I got my first gray hair at age 10 (no kidding) and it has been a gradual process since. I never had the time, energy, or inclination to do anything about it and have been gray for quite a while. I guess it started so young that I just accepted it and went with it. Two of my three daughters (the brunettes) got the early…

Rebel, I am sorry. You are in my prayers. Be safe!

Made cinnamon rolls, Hawaiian rolls, Orange Cranberry Bran Muffins, granola bars, and spicy pretzels for the bake sale. Made all of my goals for the day. Thanks for a great skinny Saturday, and good night!

I worked for 8 hours at a church garage sale, and only sat down for less than 10 minutes for lunch. Now I am baking for tomorrow's bake sale. Need to drink more water though. Better go have a sip!

Rach - I find that there aren't a lot of posts on this thread on the weekend. I think it varies a lot depending on how busy everyone is. Glad you got your workout in! I worked for about 8 hours at the church garage sale today, and now I am baking for tomorrow's bake sale. Have a good evening!

My son in law is also probably 200 lbs over his ideal weight, and also a lawyer. I never brought up the subject, but I think that I have had some influence on him. I went to work on myself, and talked openly about MFP to my daughter when she asked how I was doing it. He must have been watching me to see if it worked…

Skinny Saturday, here I come!

Mimi/Mary - It's okay, I just take all the complimentary things people say about you and pretend they are for me! :laugh: Congrats on the loss - Mary

I posted a link to this on a couple of threads I frequent to see if anyone there knows anything. Wishing you the best -

I don't know too much that would be helpful, but when my mother in law was sick with leukemia and couldn't afford her medication, the doctor helped her talk to the pharmaceutical company, as they do sometimes provide it free of charge when people have no money, and we got her cancer meds that way.

Steel Magnolias Harvey Arsenic and Old Lace Wait Until Dark Shenandoah The Trouble With Harry I'm kind of into old classics.

I seem to have run into a busy section of my life :laugh: but wanted to let you all know that I have been keeping up on your posts. I really just want to say howdy to all of you, and wish you all a great Friday tomorrow!

I have been really busy for a couple of days, and just read through the posts. I don't have time for individual responses, but wanted to say howdy to everyone, tell the newbies welcome, and tell everyone else that I read your posts and I'm thinking of you. Have a great Friday tomorrow!

OK, it's a new week . . . you know the drill . . . Team huddle . . . On three . . . GO BLUE!

Terri - Congratulations! (I will never know that feeling - my bare bones wouldn't fit into a size 10. :laugh: ) That being said: I put this on my status, but just have to post it for those who don't see my status: I have done it! My goal for the spring (by the end of May) was to swim 1/3 of a mile, all crawl stroke. Today,…

smadag - I agree with Deb and Mayra. The only thing that I have to add is that I always say that I do all of my best growing in life's valleys, because that is where the fertilizer is. I know that doesn't really help, but I am sure that you will come out of this a stronger and better person. Keep the faith - I am sure…

Today, I swam .45 miles, all crawl! I think that by May, I may be able to do 1/2 mile. I debated putting it in as fast, vigorous…

Mayra - Good to hear from you. I'm glad that you got a day off. Enjoy the rest of your weekend. Good night, all blues!

I got in my two exercises today, drank more water than usual, and now just need a snack, but I have plenty of calories to cover it. Here's to smart choices!

I'm trying Skinny Saturday today. Want to join me? http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/90605-skinny-saturday-challenge-8
