Mine was yesterday: Group fitness instructor said that each time she sees me I get smaller ! And she told my daughter that she has a skinny mom!! :blushing:

My daughter (17) and I will be doing one - she asked me, and said we could run at my pace!!

My thoughts are with you. I hope you didn't lose everything.

From Minnesota, USA Age now: 48 Age when first was born: 28 (31 for second)

What does it mean when my almost 20 year old son tells me I look good? That I am a HOT 48 YEAR OLD MOMMA!!

Just had my 30 year reunion - 1982! The Boss rocked!

Make small goals. For instance, maybe by year end you want to lose 20 pounds (sorry, I'm in the US!) so here are suggestions for goals: Track all food Exercise 2-3 times/week for one hour At the beginning of the year, create new goals for two months out - exercising 3-4 times/week and still tracking food, but reducing the…

Good job! As a side note, how do you like those running shoes?

Started at 16W (225 pounds) and down to a slightly big 10 (170 pounds). I have one size 8 pant, but am afraid to try more in case they don't fit. Remember, different clothing makers make their sizes different too.

Remember, it took a long time to put on the weight. It will take a while to take it off. Yes, sometimes it gets to be too much. Here's an idea.. write down your successes and post them somewhere that you will see it often (at your desk??). That may be enough to ward off some of the temptations. Just a thought.

Cash paid for my 1974 red Firebird, bought in 1981 :)

We had Pong - I think I was about 7 when it came out! Oh, and we had to get up off the couch to change the channels on TV.

Good for you! :drinker: I refuse to go back on BP meds!

About 4 1/2 years ago I decided I didn't want to look like the other women in my office. I was thinner than them, but I could do better. (Note to self, LIAR!) At that point I was 44 and weighed 225. My goal was to lose 45 by the time I turned 45. I lost 40 and thought that was good enough. I have always worked out, and…

You're mean!! :laugh:

ME TOOO!! You betcha!

Try a different store. I know that jeans are expensive, but I have heard that everyone deserves one expensive pair of jeans. I went to Buckle and the staff there kept throwing different styles and sizes at me until I found the one I liked. They even hemmed them for free. Turned out these jeans didn't have the "8-10-12"…

I had a friend who used to iron her t-shirts before going to the gym. too bad there isn't an eye-rolling smiley!

<<<the two sticks of butter (with wax paper) were fun for a few days, and the sanitary pads are always a joy... loaves of bread, the list can go on and on. My very first dog ate my wedding shoes - fortunately after the wedding.

I went looking for my dong one morning when I woke up and couldn't find her. I finally went into my son's room, the son who had recently moved to college, and she was laying on his bed sleeping. I think she missed him!
