Good morning all! And Lulu-- HELLOOOOO!!! :bigsmile: I didn't lose any weight this week, but I'm not that surprised or down about it, which surprises me! :laugh: I know that I haven't been as active as I need to be, so I can't be upset about it...only vow to do better next week. We had a brief lapse of rain yesterday,…

Not trying to sound dumb, but I'm not sure what kind of chair exercise video would be good. Is there one in particular that you might recommend??

I'm trying to schedule for Friday, May 22 so I can have the weekend and holiday to recover. It shouldn't take that much time really, just depends on swelling and stuff. My doctor says to stay off it for 48 hours, then just be on it in moderation. He says that it could take 4-6 weeks before I can have full use, but that all…

LOL:laugh: I meant when I am older, not that you're older! Wow, no matter how I say that it just doesn't sound that nice! LOL Sorry bout that :flowerforyou:

:drinker: Kristi, that's fantastic!!! 4 lbs is a lot, so I'm super jealous!! Thanks for the well wishes on surgery. Yes, I'm trying to prevent having replacement surgery when I'm older, though I know it's probably inevitable...just want to prolong as much as possible!

Morning gang! Hope you're all well today! LI4G-I will TOTALLY go thru my closet tonight and see what I can find to send your way! Could you email me your mailing address?? I'll let you know what I find, hope you and adopt4 can use some of it! It seems I have to have knee surgery in a few weeks :sad: It's not that major of…

Good Morning everyone! Not sure how the weather is in your parts of the world, but here in TN, it's crappy :sad: We've had rain almost non-stop for over a week now, and today is supposed to be the only day without rain for the next week. Unfortunately, it IS raining, so who knows! LOL Thank you all for posting the helpful…

That's awesome Sheila!! Congratulations! I am still frustrated as crap about not being able to do as much exercising, but am still doing good on my calorie intake. I'm hoping to need to buy some new clothes myself! :bigsmile:

Hope everyone had a great weekend! Sorry for my absence on here, but it was a hectic one! I have an appointment tomorrow afternoon to find out the results from the MRI I had on Friday, so keep your fingers crossed for me! Unfortunately, I didn't have a weight loss last week, so here are my stats: SW/GW/CW- 275/180/265 -0…

I don't know if you can really tell much by my new profile picture, but my hair is blue in it. This picture was taken last weekend at the Opry. This is Charlie Cushman, myself, and my husband Tony. I've put some pictures on my profile from last weekend, so feel free to look at them!

Happy Thursday Gang! I'm feeling much better today, not as much knee pain, and my ego's not quite as bruised as it was yesterday :laugh: I was able to do a lot of leg exercises last night that I was taught at physical therapy, so I feel really good today. Plus, I've been eating well within my calorie goal every day, which…

LI4G- I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your hair!!!!! :heart: It looks fantastic!! I need to get a new picture of myself up, so everyone can see my blue doo! :laugh: Lauri-That's flippin hilarious about you falling out of the truck!! That's totally something I would do, and have done before! :bigsmile: I'm extremely clutsy, so I feel…

AJ-I'm having some wicked knee pain. I already know that I have deterioration of the cartilige under my knee caps, but the specialist i went to before was a bit of an *kitten*, and didn't really give me much information! So, I'm going to try a new facility and see!

Welcome to the group AJ! I noticed your name says Amy Jo, and it's funny because my sister is Amie and she has a little girl named Emma...weird! :laugh: Everyone here is great, I wish every single one of these people lived near me...which reminds me, my neighbors are moving, someone could move right next door! :laugh: I…

Sheila, I've been meaning to tell you how proud I am of you! You're doing great with your exercising, eating, and just everything. It's great to hear! :drinker: Lauri, the weekend was fantastic! I've got some great pictures, so I'll have to put them on my profile soon. It was super fun, and just great to visit with my…

Kristi, it was a really big nut! :laugh: I'm doing fantastic, I had a great visit with my parents, and took some really good pictures of my dad and Tony playing the Opry. It's just the best feeling ever seeing the two most important men in my life making good music together, it's great!!! :heart: Tony and I worked in our…

Wow, my folks come to town for a weekend and I miss the most drama I've had in my life for years! I'm sorry everyone is upset about people not weighing in, or whatever is going on. I, personally, decided not to weigh in this week for my own reasons. I don't feel I should have to defend my decision to anyone, and if that…

Howdy everyone! Hope you're all doing well. I'm LOVING this weather we're having, finally, no rain!! :drinker: I did a bunch of yard work last night, and needless to say, today my back is KILLING me! I created a huge flower bed, digging up all of the soil and then mixing it with fertilizer and more soil, and planted some…

Oops...guess I should have said that was to Kristi!

The kind of gal that doesn't care! :tongue: Honestly, it looks pretty cool. Goes pretty well with my tattoo, LOL I've got a tattoo on my upper arm, well it takes up all of my upper arm actually, LOL It's the music to the banjo instrumental "Clinch Mountain Backstep". I've also got one on my arm that has Jack & Sally from…

Good Morning Everyone! Hope you all had a great weekend, I know I sure did. It had been a really long time since just my sister and I got to hang out, since we're old married women now! LOL :laugh: It was really great. I got my hair cut, and we dyed it ourselves. Mine is now black, with blue streaks in it, and I like it a…

Hey gang! Hope everyone has a great weekend, I know I'm really looking forward to going to Indiana for a few days :bigsmile: Here's my info: SW/GW/CW: 275/180/267-1 lb lost I've been terribly busy this week and haven't had the energy to exercise much, which is definitely going to change next week! I'm so happy to see a…

Hey Everyone! Sorry for being absent on here lately, I've just been crazy busy at work! I've lost 1 lb this week, so I'm pretty excited about that! I'm going home to Indiana this weekend to visit with my younger sister, and I'm really looking forward to it. She and I are going golfing, and I can't wait! It will be my first…

Hey everyone! Sorry I haven't written much this week, but I've been sick with a wicked sinus infection and chest cold. Unfortunately, I haven't done much exercising, and haven't even weighed...I'll save that for next week when I'm feeling better! Hope you're all well!

Good Morning Everyone! Hope you all had a great weekend, I know I did! My husband and I worked in the yard all day yesterday, and I'm afraid all of my hard work may be in vain. We have a freeze advisory for tonight and tomorrow, and maybe some snow...so hopefully my little plants will survive this! I'm pretty dang sore, I…

Congratulations!!! That's awesome!

Good Morning Ladies!! TGIF is freakin right, it's been a looooong week! :drinker: Well, might as well get it over with! LOL SW/GW/CW- 275/180/268 -2lbs :bigsmile: I'm pretty ecstatic about my loss of 2 lbs this week, especially since I haven't been able to do as much as I want to with my ankle all jacked up!…

Good morning everyone! Yesterday was such a beautiful day, my husband and I worked in the yard until dark(after work of course!) It felt great, but I'm pretty sore today. I've reached the age where yard work hurts...I used to make fun of my mom for that! :sad: I fixed that ketchup/diet coke chicken again last night, and it…

I signed up for the 200 sit ups challenge, so thanks for letting me know about it! If that schedule can help me be able to do 200 situps in one day, not an entire week...well, I'll definitely swear by it! :laugh: I've been going to water aerobics on M, W, F and that zumba class on T and TH, and I feel so much better than I…

Hey Everyone! Don't really have much to share today, or much time(super busy at work, feels like a Monday! :laugh: ) I've had to take a few days off of working out, because I fell in my driveway on Saturday night while leaving for the Opry. I twisted my left ankle, and magically bruised my right calf pretty bad, almost…
