Okay blues-We need to get out of this funk we have all been in:frown: . I know we all have a lot going on and some of you have some major issues and changes going on in your lives, but these are the times we can't fall back on our old ways. Keep the goal in mind and take it one day at a time:wink: . How about a challenge…

So sorry for what you are going through, but it will be better for you in the long run. Just don't let this de rail your efforts. Hang in there. THinking of you.

Thanks i am going to look at that program. I have actually been running for about 8 months, but i can't seem to get the breathing right. After about 2 minutes i have to walk to catch my breath for about a minute then i am good to go again for another 2 minutes. I just can't get my breathing right.

So my hometown is doing a 5K Run and Walk in August. I am thinking of signing up but not sure which one to do. I cannot run consistently for the life of me. I can run for 2 minutes, walk for a minute, then run again, but i cannot continuously run for long periods. I have never done anything like this before, are there…

Great job Chrissy you look amazing and keep the rest of us going. Today is my first day back from vacation and so far nothing bad and i am within my calories. Hopefully i can get through the rest of the night without cheating or treating as others call it. It is hard to get back into it, after being off the program for 2…

Hi Blues, I have been on vacation for the last 2 weeks and to top it off, today i got my TOM. I am refusing to weigh in because i did not watch what i was eating and i know i am up. I am going to take this week to get back into my routine and take some of that back off and weigh in next week.

Hi Blues, I am on vacation this week, and surprise i am doing really well. I have my 13 and 8 year old nephews running with me and i burned 1000 calories yesterday and ran twice. Just finished my run this morning and maybe another one tomorrow. Damn if they don't whip me into shape. I thought i would have trouble but so…

Yes our list is shrinking, but we are still doing great! Hang in there blue's.

I have the same problem. Especially shirts right now are hard for me to find. I am so used to going to the plus section i have no idea where the regular sections are and the sizes oh my. I am having a lot of problems finding clothes that fit and i am the same size as you right now 14-16 depending.

What a great way to burn off aggrevation.

You should use Google Pedometer, i love that site.

Great job this week. Keep up the good work.

You and your daughter look great. Awesome job again, you are an inspiration.

Thanks for all the help i knew i could count on you guys. The water wasn't really helping me, that is the first thing i tried. I did brush my teeth, and then chewed some gum, and kept myself busy. I am a boredom eater and eat when i have nothing to do, so i think that was my problem. My baby really isn't a baby anymore,…

Help Me!!!!! My poor little baby (by baby i mean 6 year old) woke up this morning with diarreha and fever on her birthday none the less. So i am home from work today with her, but i cannot get enough to eat. I am starving and nothing is satisfying me. What can i do? I have already been bad enough today. Cereal, trail mix,…

HMO4 you did awesome, I would never be able to do that. Consider that most of us cannot even hope to do what you did. Congratulations on such a great accomplishment. Ngwife4 life- Get rid of it. I did that about a mont ago and kept it haunting me for 2 days and finally just gave it away to a co worker. I felt so proud of…

I just had to share. I am no longer considered Obese. YIPPEEEE!!!!!:happy:

HMO4- Good luck I know you will do great. Hang in there with everything that happens and don't give up. We are here for you and you can get through this too. THink of it as another challenge to get through. You are an inspiration to all of us here, and have given such great advice. :flowerforyou:

I am doing the chocolate challenge. This is something i struggle with so it will be a good challenge for me, expecially this week. Anyone else want to do it with me?:flowerforyou:

Great job this week ladies. I better be down next week after my TOM is over. I will struggle with the chocolate challenge, but isn't that what a challenge is? Come on ladies I know it is hard, but we can do it. Fight through those cravings. I am in- no chocolate for 1 week. Uh oh guess i will have to get a vanilla cake for…

Rach- That is so awesome. Go you!!!!

Olive garden is evil............ I was overruled for lunch today and we went to Olive garden. I tried to be good and had salad which i tried to get the stuff that was in the middle and not drenched in dressing. 1 Breadstick and linguine with tomato sauce, which still put me at almost 1000 calories. YIKES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cake batter has salmonella in it. THink of throwing up for 3 days after eating it. THat should do it! Good luck.:laugh:

You are smokin sani- Way to go what an inspiration.:smile:

Before you know it, you will be there. I also started at a 24 and i am now in a 16 and those are getting looser. You can do it and will feel so much better.

Don't be discouraged, you just need to change things up a bit to get those final 10 off. I have a lot more too loose so it is easier for me to drop the weight at this point. As we get smaller it gets harder. Keep going you can do it, try eating more or less. Switch up your excercise routine by adding 10 minutes or so.

My thoughts and prayers are with her. How devasting!:cry:

What a great week for the Beautiful Blue's. Awesome job everyone. So i have set up all these mini goals for myself, and i love it when i make them, it has the power to motivate me and keep me going. Here are my goals that i have set. It helps me to share them with others. to be.... 212 -no longer considered obese:happy:…

I was 268 at my heaviest but i never even considered surgery. I just could never do that. I know lots of people who went through that and have a ton of problems now. Especially one person who lost 200 pounds, but has since gained back 150. Why go through all that pain and end up right back where you started.

70 Pounds that is awesome. Congratulations on such a huge accomplishment. You are almost to the end of your ticker. What an inspiration.
