Gail-You had me ROFL!! Been there, done that. I'm with you- rather be able to breathe and dance then wear one size smaller!! Thank you so much! One of my goals is to laugh out loud each day. I hadn't had that happen yet today. Deb A in CNY

Just bought a juicer and need recipes! Any ideas?? Deb A from CNY

Good afternoon all! Just a quick stop to send good wishes for all who are ill or struggling, congrats to all who are making progress, and thanks to all for their funny stories and motivation. Someday I will be able to respond to all, but work this year is crazy busy. I went to a conference yesterday and will be going to…

Jane- I think your pics will post if you change the IMG to img at both the beginning and end. Deb A from CNY

Cheryl- I had wondered where you had gone, but I mostly lurk. I don't seem to have too much time to actually post. This winter has wreaked havoc on my motivation and energy level. I just can't seem to get moving! I am holding steady in weight, but want to lose another 10.Maybe we can push each other!! DeeDee- So sorry to…

I used Optifast for a 4 month period to start a medically supervised diet 2 years ago. I slowly transitioned to eating all healthy food. I lost over 70 pounds and have kept it off. For me, it was a way to re-set my eating habits. My doctor is awesome- We combined working with a nutritionist , adding in exercise, and…

Carol- I also live in central New York(about 30 minutes from Syracuse). The weather has not been the best for being outside, but I cross-country ski and will walk in almost any weather as long as I can do it during the day. Unfortunately I often don't get home from work early enough. I have used Leslie Sansone walk DVDs…

Michele- Would you share the recipe for the chocolate bran muffins? Have a great trip to Florida. I would like to go somewhere warm for a few days! I love winter, but need some sun!! Deb from CNY

Good morning all! Michele- I am also frustrated by not losing right now. I have been stuck for a long time. Not giving up! Barbie- How sweet! Great relationships are part "chemistry", but mostly a result of our attitudes and ability to accept and give love. You are such a great role model for living life in the present…

Just marking my spot. Have a pile of papers to grades and lesson plans to write! Looking forward to next week's vacation! Deb A from CNY

Good morning all! Just found out that an album my son engineered won a grammy!! He is talented, passionate, and works very hard. So proud of him! Went skiing yesterday. The trails were perfect and the weather was great. It felt so good to get out and move. Sasha- Enjoy your visit! Time with our children is precious. Hope…

Good afternoon all! Today is sunny with a beautiful blue sky. DH and I are going to go cross-country skiing for the first time in a few weeks. I am still coughing and the sinus headache is still bad, but don't want to waste the day. DeeDee- the training sounds great. I know it is hard work, but I bet it is good type of…

WOW that is awesome!! I don't know that I could get in and out of the kayak no matter how much weight I've lost. I'm scared to death of falling in. Do you get in with your husband or are you in separate kayaks? Love your dog photo by the way. Is that a golden? He looks like my golden. Best dog ever. [/quote] We are in…

Congratulations on you NSV! What an incredible story! For any of us, with or without, the added challenge of something like MS you are truly an inspiration. My NSV is not nearly as impressive, but has been very motivating for me. A few years ago my DH and I decided to start kayaking. I was over 200 pounds and 56 years old-…

I hired a personal trainer when I joined my gym. He did a fitness assessment and we discussed my goals before he set up a program for me to follow. We worked together once a week and I followed the plan he mapped out for me 4 days on my own. I got much stronger, improved balance, increased my energy level. He pushed me to…

Just a quick check in to get a dose of Vit. F! I have been reading all of the posts, but haven't had the time or energy to respond. I am fighting a bad sinus infection that just doesn't want to give up. Robin- Love the pictures! So cute! Meg- I have been struggling with the blahs lately too. I think for me it is a…

Barbie- I was doing fine having 1/2 cup Kashi Crunch for breakfast and later for lunch or snack with yogurt, but have found lately that I am eating more than I should. I am almost out and am not buying anymore for a while until I can regain control. I am replacing it with fruits, veggies, and protein. I had been doing so…

Good afternoon all! DeeDee- Hope you enjoyed "holding court". I did a training class with a runner's club several years ago and loved it. I never got to the point of running a 5K (my goal) because they all of a sudden increased the running distance by more than I could keep up with. They were all training for a much longer…

Good morning all! It has been another crazy two weeks at work and not been able to post as much as I would like to, but have been reading all posts. Everyone is so busy! I did not do as well as with my goals as I would have liked. Am rethinking this month's goals. Will post them later today. Have a fabulous Friday! Deb A…

janaemartin- When I started this journey, my doctor tested my vit. D level and it was very low. She put me on a high dose and now it is in the normal range. She told me that it is one of the things that can make it difficult to lose weight. I do feel better. Hope you find what works best for you. Deb A in CNY

Good morning all! I am enjoying a very unexpected snow day. We are really the only school in the area that is closed. Forecast is for light snow followed by freezing rain and ice. Guess our district took it seriously. It is better not to bring the children in and then have bad roads home for the ride home. I will take…

nonnicee- Welcome to the best supportive group of women! You have joined just by posting so that you can find us again under "my topics". Deb A from CNY

Good morning all! Just a quick hello and thanks for all of the motivation. I have a house to clean, lesson plans to write, tests to grade, and report cards to do. I will do my intervals (probably on the bike) and a workout with the kettlebell. Tomorrow is supposed to be a bit warmer, so we are going to ski or hike. I need…

Sunshine- I am almost at goal, but still have the belly fat that I would like to get rid of. The bariatric specialist I see suggested doing intervals of fast jogging/running with a 1.5 to 2 minute brisk walk cycle repeated for the length of your workout. She also said to be sure to get protein (for me 30 g) right after the…
