Definitely made my day.

ROFLMAO - Here we go again.

At the gym that I go to, there are several members who are in wheel chairs, very elderly, or have health problems aside from weight issues. I love seeing them there trying to make their lives better. They are my daily inspiration to keep going and not stop and complain about my situation. Let's face it, I got here on my…

We live in Tennessee and at least in Middle School our students only have PE 2 quarters out of the school year. I find this to be somewhat frustrating especially in the cooler/wetter months. It is hard enough to get our tween girls active, much less during these months. At least in the summer I can get her in the pool, and…

Hahaha Love it. I so enjoy reading these posts.

I don't envy you in the least. I am in a similar situation with my Dad and have been stressing for some time over what to do. It doesn't help that I am an only child and I live out of state. We have asked them to move closer to us, but they don't want to do that. My Mom doesn't drive and their really isn't anyone near by…

Totally agree. Besides for me, my gym time is my ME time. During that time I am pretty much only concerned with ME. Is this terrible? Not if I want to be healthy and there for my family for a long time. In most cases the call can wait an hour, or at least long enough that I can walk away from the exercise area so I don't…

I recently had the very unpleasant experience of getting a yeast infection on my hands. Yes, my hands. I wasn't sure what it was at first, so I went to the Dr. I asked how that could happen. The Dr. asked what things I had been doing. When I said that I had been going to the gym 5-6 days a week, she stopped me and said…

I am laughing so hard I can't believe it. I try to set good examples for my girls. Plain and simple fact, I have no excuses for having gained my weight it was just shear laziness in every aspect. The only way I am going to get it all off is to stop being lazy and get moving, and brushing my teeth is not going to get me…

Have a great trip. We will all look forward to your continued encouragement upon your return.

Thanks for the reminder. I so appreciate your posts.

This is hilarious. Thanks for the laughs, and the reminder to not take life to seriously.

Thanks for posting this. It is very helpful. Now I think I'll go drink some water. :-)

Hadn't thought of the Greek yogurt. I will definitely give it a try. Unfortunately, I'm not a fan of Miracle Whip; but may check it out at least in items that I am cooking with. Thanks for the tips everyone, I really appreciate it.

Am a part of that 40 something group too. Glad to find others in the same age range, and have about 65Lbs. to loose. I don't expect it to be easy or quick. I am actually enjoying being more active. I walk a lot these days, and find it helps to clear my mind. Please feel free to add me. We can all use as much support as we…

Added. I have about 65lbs. to loose, and am also doing this for the 2nd time. I lost about 80lbs. 14 years ago and then had another baby. Yep gained about 75% of it back, and had the perfect excuse "how am I supposed to find time to exercise with a new baby?" I am now holding myself responsible for making exercise a…
