Wow! You guys are so inspiring! J.D. - You Rock! 4 AM?! There is absolutely no way I could get up at the hour. If I do, it better be because I am getting ready to go on a airplane to some exotic island. Unfortunately I have inherited any windfalls lately so no such trips are planned for me....so I sleep! I think I am…

Ok...so where has this group gone to? We are becoming extinct! Do we need a little accountability here? Let's hear some current weights and goals for the week/month. Where are you guys?!!!

YIPEE!!! Thank God all is well with my boy. The radiologist said that she didn't see any reflux going on and that the implants look wonderful!! :smooched: :drinker: :drinker: :smooched: What a relief that is! Ok so I barely pushed out 2 miles today. Yikes...I think all those hills yesterday really took a toll on my knees.…

Ok, thought we could use yet another string. Where is everyone?! Maybe it's time to check in and state new goals. Today 166 Goal by August 1, 162 Goal by August 15 159 Goal by August 31 156 Clothes Size current 10 or 8 stretch Goal by August 31 size 8 I am going to try and set realistic goals. I haven't been very…

I'd love to be turning 30!! I am hitting 40 and don't like the sound of that but oh well...age is just a number certainly doesn't have to be a title!! Happy Belated Birthday!!

Ok...I am going to try and push out a 5K this morning but if anyone read my post late last night you'd understand why I say "push out". Monday is the start of a new week (I know technically Sunday is the frist day guys but Monday is the start of new training/eating week for me) so I hope this week certainly goes better…

Now that sounds good! I guess I have it easy...I don't care for ice cream. I know that's unusual but I just don't care for it. I do love sorbet though!!! But this shake sounds fantastic!!

No way...no how....I like my nose right where it is!!

Goodluck Camille! It's great that you joined you will love it and it's so easy to do! Plus if you need a little support or someone to kick you in the rear for some accountability then we will do it for you. I have had quite a few butt kicks!!:tongue:

I started MFP in January but didn't put down the accurate weight at the time due to my scale being broke. According to my Dr. I weighed 212 on Jan.2 and I weighed 166 on Friday so according to her scale I have actually lost 46 pounds. The great thing is that my new scale says 166 as well!!!! My goal is to lose another 25…

don't cry yourself to sleep but I wouldn't eat the ice cream. Who knows why you are up...it could be water weight. I wouldn't stress over it, you are going to have those ups and downs. Try some sorbet instead of ice cream or even some sherbet. Keep your chin up.

Ok Kelly....you didn't send enough good vibes on the run tonight!!! :laugh: I asked my husband to go to a park with me and run the trails. He is a serious marathon runner so I knew he'd go! We went to a local park that we had never gone to before. I knew that it would have a pretty good grade of a hill on one side because…

Hey Kechie-- I actually over pronate but according to runners world they are good for normal to over but not for under pronators. I love them!!!!

Way to go Sparkles. I am still sitting around 166.5...I so want to be out of the 160's but I have to say that I haven't been busting my butt to get out of them. I need to kick it up a notch this coming week. This month's cycle though has been the worst I have ever had. I'll tell you what...for all of you that aren't…

If you ever get a chance Shannon try Asics gel (GT -2130) I love them!! I just bought my third pair of these for $90. Not cheap but not as expensive as some of the others. You can find them on sale at the local sporting good stores every so often.

Ali - Yikes. I feel for you! That is going to be an uphill battle. I will keep you in my prayers. Mireille- Hope your run went well. I love to run in the rain...not pouring rain but a nice light rain. Kechi - Alright safety girl!!! You are the one who talks about making sure someone knows the path you are taking and the…

Thanks Shannon. I know I shouldn't feel guilty but I do. I get anxious when I don't run...sound crazy?! I hope that I can push out a long run tomorrow as well. After 2 days rest, I am, at least, going to give it a shot

thanks. I think I am going to try and lay down a while and then see if I can squeeze in a run (maybe just a short 2 -3 mile run) tonight. A short run would be better than no run at all but I am just completely zapped from of any energy right now!:ohwell:

(I accidentally posted this on yesterdays blog, it was meant for today!) Ok ladies...I am feeling really guilty. I have been running every day at least 4 miles for quite some time now. Yesterday when I woke up I felt a little sore and tired so I decided to take a day off which I always feel guilty when I do. So last night…

Way to go Strawberry Margarita!! day by day and pound by pound...unfortunately not it those equal amounts!:laugh: Wouldn't that be nice though; a pound a day?! But then again if we could all do that we wouldn't need help and support because losing weight would be as easy as putting it on. Keep up the good work...it's all a…

Ok ladies...I am feeling really guilty. I have been running every day at least 4 miles for quite some time now. Yesterday when I woke up I felt a little sore and tired so I decided to take a day off which I always feel guilty when I do. So last night guess what happened....WAM!! My T.O.M came on time, a rare occurence…

So frustrated today...it's my TOM and it has me down. I have a massive headache and both back and stomach cramping. I never feel this bad....UGGGGGHHHH!!! The great thing is that I feel "full" because of it and so I'm not really eating much. The bad thing...I don't feel good enough to run and I feel so much guilt when I…

Hey Sparkles, I didn't know you had signed up for a 5K! Good for you!! I would suggest eating very small the morning of. You would never believe what Runnersworld suggested...and my husband (the marathon man) actually does this....a POP TART! Yuk. Well....he eats those on 10K's not on marathon's. I agree that everyone is…

Jenn-- I was surprised when I read your most recent post...I can't believe you still have Mr. Nasty Scale. I thought we had convinced you to chuck that thing once and for all. Who needs 2 scales, 1 to lift your spirits and then one to shoot you down?! Since your not kidding a lot of exercise with the kids home I have a…

Yes, I was talking about the state. Thanks for the suggestion....I will look into it. I think I am going to have to rent a car. I posted the same question under general discussion and I had a ton of posts for absolutely excellent ideas!!! Who needs a travel agent when we have this forum!?!?

I, unfortunately, have to take a day off today. I have all the kids home and my husband announced to them that he had water park tickets for all of us today!! UGH!!! Sabatoge!!! So, guess where I will be hanging out today? I get to go the dentist this morning to have a cavity filled then come home grab all the kids and go…

I actually find them fairly accurate....if they are off they are usually only off by a fraction so small it doesn't matter. If the belt seems to be slipping then you will want to try another one...that means the interior belt is probably worn and the speed and therefore distance is way off....enjoy!!

it's a pound off!! Great job Christina...I think any loss at all while on vacation is a fantastic job so kudos to you!!

Thanks guys for all the help!!! I so appreciate it! I have a list a mile long just to start looking and I am only planning on coming out for about 5 nights!! I can't wait you have all made me so excited about planning this trip! We are such outdoor people so I know he will love it and you just can't let your 40th go by…

Hey Natalie!! Thanks for the great info! You are in columbus huh?! You will have to send me a note and let me know where...since we aren't supposed to post that info. If you run and you are close maybe we could run together. If you get that info about the cabins, as we love the little secluded lovers lane, let me know! I…
