I'm in. I lost 30 pounds a few years ago and then after a few injuries it is all back. I need to get moving and get my weight back down. I plan to watch my calories. I plan to swim for 1 hour 3-4 times per week. I hope this will help with my achilles tendonitis healing so I can get back to walking and biking.

I am pretty sure you can change the amount of salt that the canning recipes call for. The only exception would be in making pickles. Also most vegetables freeze well.

I have been gone from this site for awhile but am back and very glad these entertaining boards are still going.

Keep up the good work everyone. Happy Wednesday! Terri

This is from CBS...maybe more credible http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2011/02/08/earlyshow/health/main7329038.shtml

I am really struggling this month. I had an I don't care weekend so I ate and drank way more than I should have and getting on the scale this morning showed it. I am up 3 pounds this month. I hate that the scale is moving the wrong direction. I need to get focused and do this. I need to make working out and eating right my…

Up 2 pounds. I need to stop the yoyo. I have lost and gained the same 3 pounds many many times.

I have the worst cold I have had in years and so am backing off the exercise and working on feeling better. Hope everyone else is doing well. Keep working on improving your health. Terri

Keep us posted. I am so excited for you!

For those who are wondering this is very informal and you are only accountable to yourself. Post and share when you have time, share when you have something to share our you need to vent or are looking for support or advice. Only rule... BE NICE! (can you tell I do daycare?) Lets have a great month! Terri

Here we go. It is awesome to see so many of you ready to go. My starting weight is 180.6. My goal 175 Lets do this I want to look amazing for my 30 year class reunion. Terri

I feel like I am super mom every day because the the non-stop things I do to keep our household running smoothly.

Sad to say I won't make 100 this month. I was thinking today I would find the time but too many things have come and I am not going to make it. I am proud of the 94.5 miles this month. Onto February.

Wow, there was a lot of great successes this month. Well my official loss for the month is 1 pound. Not great but I will take it. See you all at the February Challenge. Terri

That one kind of made me lose faith in anything else she had to say about healthier alternatives.

Sorry I have not posted for a while. I have had kids home sick and not much extra time. I am at 94.5 miles for the month. I need another 4.5 to make my goal of 100 miles walking/running for the month. I will get it.

I am still hanging around the 181 mark. No loss but no gain. Another month of staying the same. I am going to kick it into high gear. My 30 year class reunion is coming up in June and I would love to go back looking better than I did when I left. Last reunion 10 years ago I had just had a baby and was pretty big. Let's…

AMEN!

I got a message from someone asking if I am ok. I did not realize that it has been almost a week since I have posted. I have been checking in and reading everyone's posts but then running out of time to reply. I was finally down a pound this morning. I don't think I will make 5 this month but need to keep getting those…

First thing in the morning that way things that come up during the day do not get in the way. Get up earlier in increments. Don't shoot for a whole hour earlier right away. I started by setting my alarm 10 minutes earlier for a week and then upped by ten the next week, until I was getting up early enough to get in a good…

No cooking facilities so everything is premade. We have done pulled pork sandwiches, bbqs. We only do this 2-4 times a year so what we purchase or make we want to sell everything so we do not have to store or throw things away. This parent really came down on muffins because they are not healthy. I tried to point out to…

Been busy so it has been a few days since I checked in Total mileage this month 58.6.

Still hanging onto that one pound gain. Which is frustrating since I have been eating so much better and working out. So I decided to check my measurements. So we are over 1/2 through the month, I have not lost any but gained one but I have lost and inch on my waist and in inch on my hips. This just goes to show that the…

Bald and brainy! Ultimate turn on!

Right away in the morning, so that I have it done no matter what the day brings...plus once the kids are up my days are so busy there is no time!

Lime green K-Swiss!

I am up to 42.8 miles.

Good morning all! How is everyone doing? Winter has finally arrived here in MN with sub zero windchills, this why I bought a treadmill a few years ago. I really hate going outside in the winter. Still very little snow on the ground but cold. I was good this morning. I was shaving a 10 pound block of chocolate for making…

Back when I was teaching second grade a group of my student came to me one day with a question. They had been discussing babies and where they come from. They told me they were sure where babies came from but wanted to know how they got there!
