Hello, and welcome new teamies! I just enrolled in a program at my gym today, it's called Thin & Healthy Solutions, or something like that. Anyway, they help plan out your meals, and depending on your BMI and all that jazz, custom design a workout regimen to best benefit you. I'm pretty excited about it! Will let you know…

I think that's a great idea! I must say, knowing how many weeks it had been since I had last been on here was quite an eye opener for me! I do think it would make it less intimidating for new members to have the date. Today was day 3 of the gym for me, and I feel great! I'm meeting with a trainer in the morning, so he can…

Hey Teamies!!! Sorry for my absence the past few months, I've been dealing with some medical/personal issues, but I'm happy to say that I'm back! I went to the gym this morning, for the first time since May, and it felt great! I even signed up for a consultation with a trainer, to help me strengthen my knee and leg…

Hey Everyone! Hope you're all doing well! I went to the doctor again yesterday, and I'm now officially CANE FREE!!!! :drinker: I've got a ginormous knee brace to wear until my muscles strengthen, but I can deal with that! Just have to start different therapy next week, so I'm really looking forward to it.

I know I'm a bit late on this, but I'm on facebook too! Under Dara Wray, so look for me! Cyndi, so sorry about your kitty...that still breaks my heart! :sad: My husband is on vacation this week, but unfortunately, I will have no time off to spend with him. Kinda stinks, but that's life I guess! He told me he went for a 6…

Good Morning teamies, and welcome newcomers! you're going to LOVE this group, I sure do! Everyone is so inspiring, and I really need that to keep me motivated. I walked almost all of yesterday WITHOUT MY CANE!!! :drinker: I'm so excited about this, I can't even describe. I'm so ready to be able to get back to my 'routine'.…

LI4G, adopt4, and Swignal- thanks for your concern! I'm getting around better every day, and can take some steps without my cane, which makes me feel way better! I start getting in a hurry, wanting to walk normal and faster, and that's when I get into trouble. Overall, I'm doing pretty well. Now if I could just get rid of…

Hey Everyone! Sorry I've been MIA for a while, but it's been kind off crazy for me. Last Friday, I fell while getting out of the shower. Yep, right on my knee I just had surgery on, so I had to go to the emergency room. I didn't do any 'real' damage, other than more bruising and swelling, as if I was lacking that at all!…

Howdy teamies! I'm in a really good mood today. The sun is shining, well kinda, but it's no longer raining! :laugh: My physical therapy appointment went really well. I'm pretty sore, but overall, I'm proud of myself! The therapist said that my range of motion is normal for the type of procedure I had done, and that it's…

Thanks! I have been doing really well with my calories and everything, and am doing as much aerobic activity as possible. I'll hopefully be able to do more after my physical therapy appointment tomorrow. I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

Though I didn't ask about your exercises, I'd be very interested in knowing(especially for the belly area!

UM, apparently I'm a bit of a moron and didn't even notice my own thing! LOL You'll have to excuse me! :laugh:

It's weird..I posted something this morning, but I don't see it! Anyway, hope you're all doing well, miss you all! Getting back at it soon, hopefully, as I can now take some steps without my cane. Plus, I'm planning to go to a bluegrass festival this weekend with my sisters, and that always lifts my spirits! Been a little…

Hey everyone!! Hope you're all having a good Monday. I'm doing much better this morning, I can even take a few steps without my cane! Woohoo!!! I'm pretty excited about that! Also, this big bluegrass festival is going on this week in Indiana, and I've attended every year since I was little. Didn't think I'd be able to make…

Hey team! I'm back at work today!!! :bigsmile: I got my stitches removed on Friday, and the approval to change to a cane. So, on Saturday, Tony took me cane shopping! :laugh: I found a pink one, so I've been sporting it proudly since Saturday. I have a really hard time getting around still, but the doctor says I'm healing…

Good afternoon everyone, looks like we've all been chatty since I was on here last! LI4G-when I can find the name of that chair workout I've been doing, I'll let you know...It's great! Finally feel like I'm doing something again, even if I can't walk. Lauri!!! Welcome back...I missed you! :flowerforyou: So I go to the…

Hello everyone! Congrats on the weight loss, that's fantastic! Though I highly doubt I've lost any weight, I did accomplish something very important today... I took a shower by myself! I'm so happy about that, I can't even explain! I'm doing much better and getting along so much better than I was just a few days ago.…

I'm so proud of everyone for their hard work and motivation! I can't wait to be able to walk again! Lulu the pain is pretty severe, but I know it's got to get better. I just have to bear down and try to work thru it! I've cried so much in the past week that it's ridiculous, but I'm really trying. My arms are wicked sore,…

Hey everyone! Hope you're all doing well. My surgery was a success, but they ended up doing more than they thought. So as a result, I still can't walk. Tony took today off and my sister is coming back down from Indiana tonight to stay with me a few days. She has to be back home on Thursday so my mother in law is coming the…

Welcome Welcome Welcome Jodazary...you're going to love this group, everyone rocks! I'm happy to say that I've lost some weight, YEAH!!! Even with TOM, which is pretty exciting to me! So, right now, here are my stats: SW/GW/CW: 275/180/262 loss of 3 lbs since last weigh in I won't be on here for a few days. I'm having my…

Thanks! I checked out that site today, and think I'm going to use it. My TOM has always been like clockwork, that's what got me so freaked out this time! Oh well, just have to keep trying!

Hey everyone! Well, I'm NOT pregnant....TOM woke me up at about 1 this morning :sad: Needless to say, I'm a bit disappointed, but doing okay. Just have to keep trying! It was so gorgeous last night, I just had to go for a walk. So, Tony and I walked about 2 miles, and it felt great! It was about 60 and a little breezy,…

My doctor says to wait another week, and if nothing by then, I can have an ultrasound to find out, so that's probably what I'll do. It's driving me crazy not knowing though, I almost can't deal!!!

Hey everyone! Still no word on my possible pregnancy, but I'll let you know when I know! I'm remaining positive, and trying to keep my mind occupied. So, hubby and I spent the weekend working in the yard, cleaning house, and riding bikes. It was so much fun!! Trying to do all I need to do outside and upstairs before my…

Thanks for asking Sheila! Right now, it's kind of up in the air about my surgery. It's still scheduled for next Friday, but I've had a bit of a bump in the road so to speak, and am awaiting some test results to see if I can still have surgery or not. Apparently, I might be pregnant :noway: So, I'll let you know how that…

Good morning everyone! Sorry for those of you having problems with your TOM...mine is quite the opposite this month. My TOM is 11 days late, but tests all say negative, so I don't know what's going on. Hope to know something soon! I've been working out in my yard this week, trying to keep up on weeding and that sort of…

Hello Everyone! Hope you missed me :tongue: I had a fantastic weeken away, it was just what I needed!! Hope you're all doing well, looking forward to a better week(exercise wise!)
