Thrive isn't a weight loss supplement. Any promoter, if they're a good promoter, will tell you that. It fills in nutritional gaps so that you won't feel drained and tired. Does it help with weight loss? It can. It gives you energy which, in turn, helps you to get moving more. If you're not tired, then you won't be guzzling…

I apologize for not checking in. I hurt my knee about three weeks ago and the doctor thinks I have a meniscus tear in my knee. Waiting for insurance to approve the MRI. I can walk thankfully but really slow. I bought a stationary bike and it came in yesterday so I will be able to do that and hopefully get back on track!…

Starting late but here I go! Starting weight - 190.2 03/21 - 190.2

I'm in! I wish I could go to the gym, but with all my kids activities that I have to get them to, it's impossible! The next few months will be swamped with baseball/softball. Many tell me to go for runs while my kids are practicing but I love watching them practice so that I can see what they need to work on and how the…

Is it too late to join?

I understand where you're coming from on that! I wear tops like that BUT I put a loose fitting tank over it. I get my tanks from the men's department so that they are loose and long enough to cover my big bottom. It seems as if everything in the women's section is form fitting and too short. :/

Well, I was goofing off the other day with my kids and took a tumble on a bicycle...a kid's bike...as in, my 6 year old's bike. I had no business on that little bike, but hey, I was playing with my kids. Actually thought I had broken my foot and ripped something in my knee but thankfully it was just severe bruising and…

School started and I became a complete fail in August so here we go again. Have to figure out a way to stay on track with my goals! Been doing this challenge almost two years and I think I've only completed goals twice. I let my family obligations take precedent, which they should, but I have to figure out a time for at…

8/16 - 1.76 TTD - 4.47

8/13 - 2.06 TTD - 2.71

8/4 - .75 TTD - .75 That was my run on the treadmill. Taking it easy with running and also doing it inside because it's hard to run and breathe in 105 degree weather. Planned on going outside in the evening for a long walk but a one hour baseball board meeting turned into three hours, so no walk.

Sorry. Didn't mean to post in this one. Erased it and will post in August.

Put me in for 20 miles this month. Feeling much better.

7/28 - 3.41 walk/run!!! TTD - 10.79 Was just going to go for my normal 1-1.5 walk but had a friend with me. She not only pushed me to do double, but also ran quite a bit in there as well. Well, jogged the speed of a turtle, but still. I'm excited! Been so scared to push myself after my surgery for fear of hurting myself…

7/27 - 1.82 TTD - 7.38

7/25 - 1.26 TTD - 5.56 After a three day family reunion and several days doing a culling of kids rooms, finally got a walk in. I'm actually excited because I was able to run for three straight minutes during that walk time. Not much, but I believe it's a sign I'm healing! Woohoo!

7/14 - 1.34 miles TTD - 4.3 miles Man, it sure makes a difference walking inside in the air conditioning on a treadmill vs outside in the 100+ degree weather!

7/12 - .72 miles TTD - 2.96 miles

I used to do Zumba religiously and I can honestly tell you that it involves a LOT of twisting of the middle section but you can adjust if needed. Zumba instructors will tell you that what's most important is to keep moving so if they do something that hurts you, just walk in place. I just had a hysterectomy two weeks ago…

7/10 - .58 miles TTD - 2.24

7/9 - .59 miles TTD - 1.66

7/8 - .56 miles TTD - 1.07 miles Decided to walk to my mailbox today instead of just up and down my driveway. Well, it's a little further to my mailbox than I initially thought. Once I got there, my GPS tracker showed I had already walked my normal post surgery walk and I was super tired. Had no choice but to walk back and…

7/6 - .25 miles 7/7 - .26 miles TTD - .51 miles Super slow going due to my surgery. So sad that I get exhausted after 1/4 of a mile but it's the best I can do at the moment. :/

I'm back! I'm hoping that it's not too late for this month. I'm only wanting to sign up for 10 miles this month due to having a hysterectomy on July 2nd. I can't move much at the moment, so it will be in small bits and pieces but hoping this will get me going. Thanks so much!

4/23 - 1.98 TTD - 9.18 Sorry so late.
