Myth, Let me know which interstate you take driving back through Texas I live between the 40 and 20. Chipgal

Myth, I am 14 hours from Houston. When we go to Houston it is a 2 day trip. My nephew and brother-in-law both live in Houston area so I'm aware of where you will be and you will need both hours to catch your connector flight. Have a great vacation and the drive back should be beautiful this time of year. Chipgal

Myth, Texas is a big state. When is your layover and where? Could try to see you. :bigsmile: Chipgal

Went to Dr today for quarterly check up. Lost 3 pounds, just right. He wants me to go slow and lose 1 pound a month. I'll try for a pound by next Wed and see how it goes. Glad to see everyone.:flowerforyou:

Like the new picture Thilia. Glad you have found yourself a place to settle for a while. :bigsmile: It will take a few weeks for you to catch up on all of us we have been posting away. We tried challenging each other again occasionally. Myth has kept us together and posting and keeping our spirits up. Will type more later.…

EEK I agree about spicy food. I hardly even put pepper on my food and my hubby puts tabasco sauch in everything.

My hubby likes asian food as well not so much the Indian cusine. We have several local mom and pop Chineese take out places we frequent on Tuesday night as a treat. Most of them know us by now and make hubby's meal very spicy. We had a customer in Japan for a while, but they kept coming here so we never made it to their…

Thanks Myth.:bigsmile:

Just uploaded the application for MFP on hubbies new droid phone. Maybe it will keep me honest for the weekends when I'm away from the work computer. I'm getting better at traking my food and watching every calorie I put in to tummy. Now I need to figure a way to exercise to get rid of some calories. Chipgal

Myth, Will keep little steps in mind when I eat and remember what goes in stays on hips. Chipgal

Hello EEK, Glad you checked in. Know school is eating time. Congratulations on the fruit. (It is cheaper than chemicals as well) I agree with Myth we should get together some holiday and meet in person. Chipgal

Myth, glad to see you back. Are you having to be a teacher? Hope they pay well lol. Have not received a response from Thaila, hope all is well. EEk, know your busy, keep up when you can. Chipgal

EEk, I gave up bologna sandwiches for lunch that I had eaten my whole life. Know how hard it is to give up a favorite. Chipgal

EEk, Myth will probably post more as soon as children start school. Glad to hear you found some jeans for school. Chipgal

Sorry I've been away so long. Just have not had the chance to write anything. Did Eek find new jeans? How is WW coming Myth? I sent a message to New Begging but have not had a reply hope everything is alright. Need to start checking in more and started yesterday doing my daily food diary at lunch at work. Also have new app…

Went on a weekend vacation to Dallas, TX lost a pound. No kitchen and few snacks. Welcome xcbballuver. Just jump in and talk when ever you can. :bigsmile: Chipgal

Just a note to say I'm hanging in there. Changed my lunch habits (no more sandwiches) I buy frozen diners and microwave them for lunch. There are many choices that stay below calorie and carbs for a day (it beats 2 slices of bread + mayo). So far I have dropped another pound. Keeps my overall calories below goal because…

Myth, What is spinning? Sounds like a lot of fun. What is next weeks challenge? Chipgal

Hello every one. I did 4 30 minute workouts last week. and went a KM further each ride. (Do not know how to change it to miles) Will stay 4 times this week. MWFSat are best, already did Monday. Chipgal

Jaymie, Bicycled 30 minutes last night. So I started the challenge early:bigsmile: Will try to add distance every night I do the bicycling. Chipgal

Hello everyone, I'm up for the excersice challenge. I'm up to 30 minutes on bike will do it 3 times this week at least. Chipgal

I sent mail to Myth and she is busy with children and parents this summer. Says she is doing alright will get back to us when things settle down. Glad to see you back from vacation Eek. Chipgal

Thanks Jaymie. Have a new stationary bicycle and am up to 15 minutes every other day. Is helping my thighs look better. Glad you posted a note. Have a safe 4th of July. Chipgal

Hello everybody, will send everyone an email if this goes 6 days again :flowerforyou: Doing ok right now, getting a group together for a shallow water arobics class. Chipgal

Great EEKis4Keltinator :bigsmile: Glad you are getting paid to excersise. Like your new picture. Chipgal

Hello everyone, Eek sorry you are getting rain and you missed the snow. My friend just returned from an Alaska cruise and said it rained the whole trip. Welcome Kizzym, we usually have a weekly challenge to watch a particular eating pattern and change gradually. Chipgal

My deepest sympathy is with you through this loss. Time to heal loss varies with each person you just need to give them time. We are here for you anytime you need to share with us. We may be a small group now, but we are now depending on each other more.

Thalia, My thoughts are with you through this rough time. Look for a smile that gets someone else smiling. EEK, Are the bears through hibernating already? You should carry a shotgun.

Eek glad you took fruit from hotel for lunch. That was very smart.:flowerforyou: Newbeginnings, Now you need to break the 150 mark, not much ahead.:drinker: Myth, glad to see you back on the computer.:bigsmile: Chipgal

Hello everyone, today was my dad's 83rd birthday. Bought him his favorite cake and did not eat it all before I delivered it. In fact I servered everyone and did an inside piece with very little frosting for me. Chipgal
