Thanks Pam and Jean! It is good to hear support as it is getting harder to lose the weight each week. Thanks! Feel free to friend me. shari

Hi Everyone! I'm on the run taking care of things before I leave Friday. I've had fun the last two days with my sister staying with us. We sewed all day for two days! It was so fun! It looks like I'm not "dieting" right now. Too much going on. I'm just trying to make reasonable choices. When I get back from Mexico at the…

Jessica, call an animal hospital. They are usually open on holidays or at least have a vet on call to return your phone call and answer your questions.

Hi Everyone, I'm really busy today trying to do all I need to do before my boys come home tonight and my sister comes over tomorrow for two days, so I won't have time to address everyone individually, but rather just talk about what is going on with me. I weighed in this AM and thought I'd only gained .6 lbs, which would…

Hi All, My friend just left so I have a chance to write. I've had two very pleasant days with my two best girlfriends! The only bad thing is that I was not really dietetic, so I probably gained a little weight. I've had homemade food plus pizza. I will say that I never stuffed myself like in the old days, though. So this…

Hi Guys! Busy day today with a friend over here. We took the dogs for a walk so i got in some exercise. Tomorrow a different friend comes over for a sewing day. I can't wait! I'm reading all the posts, but I have a million things to do, so this is brief. Tomorrow is my new weigh-in day and I'm finding myself feeling…

Hi Ladies, Just popping in quick to say look at my new cut and color! I feel as pretty as Marcie!! Yay! Oh oh, my eating was bad today. I don't usually get stressed about weigh-ins but I'm a bit stressed about Friday. I might gain even if I'm really good tomorrow. Argh, now I'm saying why did I do that?! I don't want to go…

Good morning all! Well yesterday i did have a very self-indulgent day off. I had a "Jesse Stone - athon." You know the Jesse Stone movies with Tom Selleck. Between Netflix, Blockbuster, and Redbox, I had all six of them and watched them in order. Wow, that was sooo fun and relaxing!! In between each movie I would get up…

Hi again Everyone! I am having a super relaxing day. It is raining in the first time in forever, and my dogs and I are curled up with nowhere we have to go. It is my one day of rest. Tomorrow I have the hairdresser and a load of shopping and errands, Thursday my friend is coming over to do mosaics while I quilt, Friday a…

Good morning ladies! I'm up eary cuz I have to go into my DH's office first thing and get the info (serial number) of his blackberry that he lost on the roller coaster so he can identify it and claim it. I guess it's all smashed up, lol, but he is hoping the sim card is ok. Marcie, I'm glad your mom is doing well. Keep up…

OK Guys, I'm pretty darn proud of myself right now! I grilled burgers for my company and my plan was to have just the meat with salsa on it, no bun or trimmings. I did but I had accidentally made them all cheeseburgers out of habit so I had a slice of cheese too which was ok. Something very interesting - the one other…

Hi All, and welcome to Teemac2. (I sent you a friend request) I am trying to get ready for company coming over in two hours. I had to walk the dogs, grocery shop, and pick my peaches that were falling on the ground. My house is still a mess. At least it's family so they can tolerate it, lol! Now I remember why I don't like…

Pros and cons to both. We were going to a gym but it was 20 minutes away, and took about 2 hrs to go to/from and workout. We decided to convert our rec room to a home gym. We already had a treadmill & moved it from the bedroom. Bought a good quality used stationary bike and used universal gym. Also bought some toys like…

Haha, Tamara, I forgot you, our fearless leader! Glad to see you right back on track. I'm gonna start weighing in Fridays with you and Bobbie starting this Friday. Karen, Kim, and Gail, how are you guys today? Yes, I will try to add the pushups this week even though I have not yet succeeded at the water or situps. Just…

OK, I've had time to get a coffee and read all your Monday morning posts. I LOVE OUR CLUB!! We are all doing well in various ways, taking care of ourselves and becoming more healthy, fit, and attractive day by day. Lots of success. Marcie, wow! I am so impressed with you! In spite of your extremely stressful week you took…

Oooo (squeals like a little girl) I lost 2 lbs! Yay! Now to go back and read today's posts. I couldn't wait to tell the good news.

All of the above ideas are good. You might also want to talk to your mom about supporting you by not baking cookies in your house. I don't think it is too much to ask. If she has to bake them she could at least not do it while you are home. My family no longer brings candy or deserts into our home. They eat them elsewhere,…

Welcome Kim! Yay, I'm glad you joined us! The Today Showers are still trickling in. You did a great thing for yourself by joining this website and this thread in particular. There is a lot of success and the positive energy really rubs off on you. Jessica! Wow, MEDIUM!!! Holy Cow! That must feel great. I'm in XL in most…

I did W3D1 of C25K. I was a little aprehensive because there were two 3 minute runs in there, but I did fine. In fact, I did the C2k5 on the way to the local fruit stand which is 2.4 miles away, got a few things, then walked home. That was pretty exciting.

Welcome back Karen. Good to have you back. I remember you starting the C25K. That's great that you are keeping up with it. I'm doing it too, as is Marcie. (Can't remember who else, sorry.) Marcie and Gail, I'm so sorry to hear about the stress you've both been going through. I know whenever you have someone in the hospital…

I just posted this on the C25K thread where there was a discussion about carrying necesities with you when you run. I thought I would repost it here since we have runners here too. Here's my method of carrying all my stuff when I run: My husband is super paranoid and overprotective, and he was making me run with not only…

Hi All, just popping in to pledge to do W3D1 today. I've found it has really helped me to pledge it to you guys in the morning. Then my pride makes me do it whether I want to or not. Here's my method of carrying all my stuff when I run: My husband is super paranoid and overprotective, and he was making me run with not only…

Good morning everyone! I am starting to feel thinner and it is exciting. Yesterday at the party I wore a Spanks thingy under my clothes and it actually worked. (Usually I just feel like Sausage Lady, lol!) I ate over my "to lose" cals last night, but it was really healthy & small amounts and I truly was very hungry. I…

LOL Jessica! I guess my standards aren't so high!!! (Which is a big part of why I'm overweight, lol) Shout out to Kim who messaged me and who also joined because of the Today Show. HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Get in here and start posting. You're one of us! Come join your people Girl!

Wow, I did great at the baptism party! they had TONS of delicious food there, but all I ate was a little bit of fresh cantaloup and a few fresh strawberries. I know I said I was not going to eat anything, but I figured a teeny bit of fresh fruit would be ok. I think that is the first social situation in my life where i…

Hi All, Welcome Rumph! You are very welcome to join our thread for motivation. We are doing pretty well! Deneen, good job on the cals yesterday in spite of a hectic day and chinese food! Now be a good girl and no boredom eating today! Way to go with the 30 day shred. I might have to try that. People are raving about it.…

Good morning, everyone! YAY! I was perfect on my food yesterday. I think that was the first time, honestly. The fun part was when I closed out my food journal for the day MFP said if I ate like that every day I would weight 10 lbs less in 5 weeks. That 10 lbs lighter number sounds really exciting. Today is a busy day for…

I believe 5k is 3.1 miles.

Just finished W2D3! Yay! Two weeks down, 7 to go! I pushed myself harder than usual today.

Just completed C25K w2D3! Yay, I can't believe I've kept it up two weeks! For my something extra I pushed myself harder than usual. I actually tried to jog during the running parts instead of just shuffling along (lol), and during the walking parts I marched vigorously and pumped my arms. What a sight I must have been, but…
