Hey gang! I ate my heavy meal for lunch and then went walking after supper. Walked 2 hrs tonight! Yes, my feet are very sore. Tomorrow will be my day off cardio. Going to check out gadgets on the weekend. Must have something to calculate the mileage!:grumble: Nite all.

Indianagranny - so sorry to hear your sad news. there is so much encouragement here for you. Please stick with us. It is about much more than weight loss - but life changes. Everyone has stories about that "C" word (cancer). Hang in there. Li4g - WTG. The cakes will be awesome! Jamie - happy holiday! I was able to stay on…

Bump - so I can report in on Friday (for next wednesday). I'm from Regina SK and love to see all the new members! Go Canada!

Indianagranny – you’re welcome, for the push to exercise. I will let you know what day I will need you to return the favour. It must be tough with the heat – take care. Stillkristi – thanks for the picture compliment. I am pretty proud of myself. Li4g – :noway: I LOVE the yard! You have been working hard and it looks…

Stillkristi- thanks for the post on overindulging. I agree 100%. Never touch the stuff but the empty calories from pop have kept me away from it since I started MFP. Getting my dancing shoes on for your 400 club goodbye dance. A little happiness seems to go a long way. (co-workers minds always go there!) :noway: DWray –…

Hey, just leaving my mark to let you know I was here. I too had a bad day - waaaaay too much food today. Why? tired, bored...all dumb excuses. But the good part is I went for my wog in a new area of the bike path. It was interesting and motivated me to go a little further around each turn. Wore my new shoes so my feet…

Welcome to all the new members. I'm from Regina, SK. See ya Wednesday.

Awesome cake!!!

healthymom - SW208/GW150/CW183 -2 lb loss in 2 weeks BMI 30.3-29.5=0.8 loss this month Welcome to the new members to the thread. See ya later to those who are away. Congrats to manda no longer obese. I hit that goal this month too. Isn't it a great feeling? Tried eating my big meal at lunch today (since I have left overs).…

jodazary - Welcome! Yes you are welcome to join us. We weigh in on Fridays but you can do it whenever. Some of us like to post daily because it keeps us more accountable for the food and exercise. If you need some encouragement, just ask - we are here for anyone who tries hard every day. adopt4 - sounds like you are…

As of this morning, I am 183 lbs. That's 25 lbs lost!

DWray- sorry to hear you’re not pregnant. The Lord knows the perfect timing for these things. Enjoy being pampered! Li4g – sounds like you burned a lot of calories at the gym, you go girl! Your menu sounds delicious but I could not eat that much food. I ate a bowl of homemade chilli (slimfast recipe), a garden salad and a…

Dwray – thinking of you and those test results. I too had a “Flat Stanley” experience. My friend’s daughter must have been about 8 when she brought me the suitcase with Flat Heidi. I forget what we did but I think it’s a great idea to get kids excited about language. Jaime- welcome back :smile: Indianagranny – we all want…

Li4g- I'm so amazed you smoked and lost 31 pounds! Just think what you will lose when you kick the smokes! I've never smoked but can sympathize with the addicting/habit part of smoking. We are cheering for you :flowerforyou: Went for my "run" tonight. I am actually doing more running than walking, I think. Ran 6 minutes…

Hey gang! Glad the kittens are doing ok. I agree, the spray bottle always worked for me. Happy dance for me please...I exercised 5 times this week and stayed on track with food too. I wogged for 60 minutes tonight before the rain began. Better go cause hubby started a fire in the firepit inthe backyard. :drinker: :drinker:

It's amazing! You outlasted the skinny people...:smokin: I believe there are people who are skinny but out of shape. My stats have not changed since last week's 3 lb loss. SW208/GW150/CW185 no change I did get to the gym tonight. I did 30 minutes of weights in addition to cardio. My arms are KILLING me! I have not been…

Swignal – Happy Anniversary in advance! Sounds like you are blessed with a wonderful hubby this time. My daughter and I were glued to biggest loser finale. It‘s hard to believe they lost that much weight! Good job on the exercise today, keep it up!:flowerforyou: Reneyab – love the new photo. Isn’t it great to have an…

Hey ladies and gent, Just checking in. I stayed on track (1200 calories for the day). Then we went to Grandma Helen's and I had one small piece of birthday cake. Put me over by 300 (maybe more???). I am so proud of resisting the ice cream...:noway: Who made the rule that you have to eat cake when you go to a birthday? I am…

Anita - so sorry to hear about the plane crash. It's aweful when one person's choices affect so many others. Glad you are trying to focus your anger on exercise instead of food! AJ- we miss you! The quote worked for me Friday/Saturday as I went over calories and had no time to exercise. :explode: cyndebee - God knows when…

Mothers Day is almost over. I wanted to report that my kids brought presents - pictures of my 3 yr old and me, and earrings. Very nice. My husband has been working hard all week and did not want to cook. We went out and I had a HALF of a chef salad. That's it! Also, it was sooo nice out this morning when I went for my walk…
