Love the dress! I would not be able to get "the girls" into a 12p. Maybe someday. Keep up the good work. I have walked a half in one day but only in 3-4 mile increments. My longest walk so far has been 10 miles. My son would love to do the Monster Dash half in october but don't think I will be ready for that. If I could…

I am so sorry I have been MIA since last Tuesday, my only excuse, LIFE!. Its been busy and hectic plus trying to get in 150 miles of walking this month has taken so much time. I am so close. It sounds like everyone is doing well. I am getting a little frustrated at my weight being stuck in the same few pound range for so…

I feel your frustration. I started the month at 183 got as low as 181 and as high as 185 and again this morning back to 183. I am beginning to think there is something wrong with me....I keep losing and gaining the same 3-4 pounds every month.

My weight was up almost 3 pounds this morning from what it was yesterday. I am hoping it was the salty lunch at Red Lobster and my muscles holding onto extra water after my walk yesterday. So I used my Sunday weight as this weeks weigh-in. I have been slacking on giving out tips each day but mostly on weekends. I need…

I did a 10 mile walk this afternoon. My feet really hurt, but I burned 1445 calories. Carleton college in Northfield MN has a great arboretum and walking there is so relaxing, but the last mile really was hard because my feet hurt. Now I don't feel so guilty about indulging in Crabfest and Red Lobster for lunch. Check out…

Sorry you have been going through all of this but when you say the kids seems relieved I take that as a really good sign that they feel less stress. I know it was hard for you but I think you are a very strong person to realize what you want and walk away from what you did not want. My thoughts are with you. Terri

I posted the sleep one yesterday because I need to get to bed earlier. It is my only quiet time of the day and I have been staying up later and later just to enjoy the quiet.

Good morning all, Thought I would check in early, before the kids get up and take my computer away. I went for a morning walk the last few days. What a nice change after the high heat and humidity. This morning it is 58 degrees. I broke my glasses this week and I am using my old ones at this time and they do not work for…

I would love to accompany you on your journey. I will have to set up a ticker just for this journey. I will use June 1 as the date I started my journey. May we not run into any Orks!

Hello everyone, Sorry I was MIA over the weekend went to the parents to pick up my kids. They have internet but its a very slow dial-up so I don't even try. I did get in a 5.5 mile walk and the lawn mowed before we left on Saturday so I got my exercise. That was good because It was also my little brother's 25th wedding…

Must be because the kids are at the grandparents this week! Kind of been like our honeymoon...only at home!

Today's tip Romp vigorously. One vigorous go-round in the bedroom blasts about 200 calories and doubles you heart rate. Do it twice a week and shed 6 pounds a year. Plus People who have sex once of twice a week have stronger immune systems than people who who have sex less than once a week. Plus a study of 1000 middle age…

Today's tip Drink your milk.…

What do you do on the treadmill? I know you run but do you have a radio or a tv going? I don't mind the treadmill but my husband calls it the dreadmill. He will only use it when the weather forces him inside. I usually make sure there is something interesting on tv before I plan to use it. Take it outside. A change of…

Way to go everyone! Even if you did not lose, make your goal or you gained, you are a winner! You are a winner because you are still here, you did not give up. My view of the world is if you keep trying you are a winner if you give-up and quit you are a loser. Keep winning and someday you will be a winner of losing! Keep…

This is how this group works. We have no rules. There are some people who have been here for months and every month new people join in. We meet new friends a long the way and some drop out a long the way. I personally have been trying to lose the same 5 pounds for several months...every time I lose it somehow finds me…

You are an amazing inspiration! Great job on the weight loss.

So I was a good girl last night. I had a swim club meeting at the pool and son's baseball game right after so I borrowed my daughter's bike and rode. It was only 8 miles, but it involved hills and stops. 8.3 miles round trip. It felt great but tonight my knee is really bothering me and biking outside is the only new thing…

Not losing but life has been so busy that I have been more worried about maintaining. I am glad its Monday so I can rest up from a busy weekend. Woke up to a power outage 4 am Friday. Kids were awake so no back to sleep. Saturday ran to farmers market to get cukes for making pickles. I hurried home as I could see a storm…

Finally a little break in the humidity. I don't mind the heat but the last few days the humidity has been so high it has felt like anywhere from 110 -115 degrees. I actually walked outside this morning for the first time this week. I think my struggles with eating this week are because of lack of sleep. I have found that…

Good morning. Sounds like people are doing well. I did nothing this weekend. The heat is horrible. When I went to bed last night the heat index was still over 100. Friday is usually my day to not workout and the Saturday got up early and took my son to his baseball game. Came home cooked a quick lunch and then off to my…

Still stuck at 181. It has been a crazy week and my food choices have been really bad so I guess I should be glad that I did not gain. I will keep working at it. I also missed 4 days of working out because of my sore neck. Its still sore but I got in a few miles of walking this week. Keep working! Terri

Got in a total of 5.8 miles waling today. Left early for my sons baseball game so I got in almost 3 miles after dinner. My daughter helped my make homemade chicken noodle soup for dinner...yes that means we did homemade egg noodles. So delicious. I went heavy on the veggies to make it even more nutritiousl YUM!

Love your attitude...since I feel the same way. I have been maintaining for so many months that I seriously have wondered if I was not working out and trying to eat right what my waist size would be.

Bru, Sorry to hear about your friend. And I agree we are never ready for funerals. It is especially hard when they are the same age or younger than you. I have a sister-in-law who has tons of mental health issues and most the time we don't know if she is alive or dead. She prefers to live on the street. So many times some…

Quick check in before the first daycare kid arrives. Stuck at 181 this week! My biggest problem is me! I erase all my good working out when I eat too many calories. Keep learning and working. Have a great Friday! Terri

Awesome workout! Way to go!

OUCH! Did something to my neck and it is painful to move it! Need to take it easy a few days. :sad: :sad: I do have lots of neck pain due to being rear ended in at least 3 different accidents over the years. Sometimes in just acts up! Hope it feels better quickly this time. So instead of working out today I sat with a…
