me too - me too but we are on our way!!!:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

It's all that crazy biking you been doing... nice work.. OK, just found this... I have recently noticed.... that my back feels so much better, and now I can start (slowly) to work exercise back into my life and get a better lookin but. thanks Jeannie for this thread

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: You are safe - I'm with you, though. I really do miss Dave and could really use his advise - like all the time. I appreciated his honesty, and was not offended by his directness. That is all.. chop chop

Good morning gang, Beth - I tried to get a look at your dress, but the site kept locking my computer, so I had to give up. I'm sure you will look fantastic - size 10 is still a dream for me. Tamara - way to go on 120 pounds.. quite the accomplishment - great role model for us thanks for the shout outs all - it is sooooo…

OK, missed yesterday, so posting twice today. Things have been nuts. My job is completely changing - new boss, new responsibilities, same old desk... My back is improving - actually got the OK to start working out slowly and even riding - as long as there are no quick stops or bad jarring motions.. Please, I do know how to…

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Just had to share because it is cracking me up.... Sorry, Andrew - you may want to shut your eyes because of TMI.. Taking Lynnie's advice, I have put the 38D's in a push-up bra. Now they are all pushed up, but feel like they are going to spill over. More sandbags please - just can't hold back this flood... :laugh: :laugh:…

Yup, but I am now inspired by Lynnie's message, and the fact that I am not getting any younger. I am just going to take a day and get it done.. There has to be some reason (beyond the kids, the horse, and food/shelter) that I am working my tush off 50 hours a week. Will post pictures after... Seriously, to all you bikers,…

Happy Birthday Andrew!! :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: Love the hair Lynnie - I would love to do that, but always end up covering gray first then running out of $$.. Shout outs to all my friends. Back is slowly improving, but still not OKed to ride..:grumble: :angry: :angry: :mad: :mad: :explode: :explode:…

Morning all Sam, Marla, Lori, - love the new Avs.. need to get a camera, I don't have a picture of me that is recent...:grumble: Andrew/Beth - glad you guys found a better hotel (ewww) - indoor water parks are awesome, enjoy. Busy day here, much work - will check in on everyone periodically. Janie

Thanks Jeannie - I'm taking it careful. I mostly work with the horse on the ground and there is a bunch I can do without getting on. I'm way too big of a coward to take any chances. No more riding for a while - at least until I get the OK from the doc. Just got the OK to swim gently - will have to get my ya ya's out that…

Hey Lori - definitely no stalls for me.. I just rode my horse for about 3 minutes on Friday for the first time in 3 weeks on Friday. It felt so good, but I have to be really careful because I'm not really ready to do this. Just need something for my head though.. J

Good luck on the 5K Shuntae. Sam - sorry about M - I hope she comes around once the other kids start showing up. sometimes fun can be infective.. Jeannie - love the smilies... can't wait to get approved to ride my bike - miss it terribly.. Lori - don't sweat the scale - you look great.. morning Lynnie and Bobbi - hope…

Hey Bobbi - there is a category for barn chores that I use for cleaning stalls, etc. It seems pretty beefy on the calorie count, but still may not be as much as moving heavy dirt. Take a look and if it doesn't seem like enough, just add some.. not sure how else you could do it.. Good luck.. Good morning black team. How are…

Awesome bike Andrew - I'm sure you will have many happy years together... :laugh: :laugh: Marla - I wondered what that was outside - I thought we were having a bad thunderstorm.. sorry for the hassle - isn't it amazing that the kids can time stuff like this just for the time you most don't need it.. and I only have 2 -…

Jeannie - you read my mind.. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Marla - have fun at Great Adventure!! We have one near us that was "Riverside Park" when I was young.. still have trouble with that flag thing.. Beth and Andrew - have a great vacation.. Andrew - good luck bike shopping - another well worth it expense is a good pair of…

Yea!! finally a challenge that I can do.. Hi all - actually got on the new horse today for the first time since I moved him - it felt great, all 5 minutes of it.. If I am good and careful, I may be able to work my way back up to 30 minutes sometime soon - as long as I don't tell my PT. Seems like my back is starting to…

Good morning black team friends. thanks for all the kind thoughts and prayers - found out yesterday that it may be several days before I get the results - hate the wait.. Lynnie - glad you are starting to feel better Renae - sorry you are not feeling well - listen to your body and take it easy - hope you are better today…

Thanks all for the well wishes. Just waiting on the results now... Jeannie - congrats on your new bike. I love mine - I know you will have a great time with yours. April - you are a great sister.. Lynnie - hope you are feeling better soon. Lori - don't sweat the scale, you've been busting your butt - good chance you have…

Only had time to skim, but had to post again - looks like I'm not the only one out there that needs some prayers.. Vanessa - so sorry about poor Owen. Are they checking for Lyme disease? My kids have had it a couple of time each and each time it started with vomiting and fever. Prayers for you and your son - your BF pi$$ed…

Hey all - I need a favor. I am getting ready to go to the hospital for an MRI to check out my back. Could you all send me some good luck vibes? I'm really hoping this is not serious and I do not need to go in for surgery. I am really worried and kind of scared, so if you could send me some helpful vibes, or prayers, I…

Yes, mine says the same thing - I just yell at it to SHUT UP. Seriously, you have the willpower and strength to do this - and this site will help. Reach out as often as you need to.. Good luck. JB

Andrew - good vibes for the 5K tomorrow <<<<<<<<<<<vibes>>>>>>>>>>> Hope the weather holds out. GO BATMAN GO!!:drinker: :drinker:

The Chinese food was awesome, but BOOM - I just logged it... Good thing I was able to spend some time at the barn today doing some ground work with Will.. Have a great night all. Janie

Vanessa - sorry to hear that Owen is still feeling lousy. We've seen that kind of virus - wrecks your insides for a few days - good plan to just keep him on bland food and drink - ginger ale always works wonders for us, if he will drink it Marla - you rule - nice job getting into that shirt - wedding dress is not far…

Shuntae - it is gorgeous, and would look fantastic on you - I'd go for it..

Vanessa - hope your boy is feeling better - no fun to be that sick.. Marla - curse you for making me go into your profile to see Sarah's head cover.. good thing you posted it there, the curiousity would have killed me.. Dang Andrew - I don't know how you resisted the ribs - all that willpower is doing you good... Hugs to…

Not bad for $56... and you totally deserve it.. well done.

Thanks all. I just love my new boy - he is just puppy dog sweet. Sounds like you have all been doing well with the challenge this week. I had no sweets yesterday and so far, so good today. Renae - I am just avoiding obvious sources of sugar and sweets. Natural sugars (honey, fruit) are OK in my book - I'd go nuts if I had…
