OK I'm in...I did 45 minutes of swimming yesterday. That treat thing is a great challenge because the Girl Scout Cookies have just arrived! :laugh: I just want to feel more and more fit. I'm going to Florida next month and while I realize I won't be "skinny" I'd love to at least start to feel good about myself. Have a…

Whew! So glad I found you! Kind of fell off the posting wagon. Chicago finally had some of that snow that everyone else has been getting and I just got wrapped up in other things. Very bad habit of mine. When anything changes, my nutrition/fitness is the first to go. I definitely need to break that cycle! We're finally…

Hey all! I'm back! I apologize for not posting the last few weeks. Chicago finally got that massive snow that the rest of the country had and I ended up with sick kids and so I just got caught up in that mode. I watched what I ate and exercised when I could but really didn't track. That is a bad habit of mine that I need…

BTW welcome Shirley!!!

Hey all...I just maintained this week...I am bummed. I did just start working out on Wednesday after being sick for so long and I did have TOM this week. I'm hoping that has something to do with it. I did however lose and inch off of my wasit and hips (haven't measured my arms yet) and I joined the YMCA last night so am…

Hey all...kind of disappointed today...I maintained my weight. I did just start exercising on Wednesday after being sick for so long but was still hoping for something. On the up side, I did lose an inch off my weight and hips since I last measured myself and we joined the Y last night so I'm looking forward to mixing up…

Yikes! Weigh in tomorrow! Just started back to exercising since I've been sick for two weeks.....better hit the gym! Good luck everyone!!!

OK I'm back!!! Anyway....can't wait to get to know everyone. Friend me if you like! I too have always been overweight. I think that there have been 4 periods in my life where I have lost weight and been thin, but it was for such a short time and of course I gained it back. The first time I was only 11 years old...my doctor…

I still can not get over all of that snow! OK we're going to get positive here...March is only 4 weeks away and it will all be a distant memory! Stiring I'm sorry you're feeling worse, rest is the key. Sing glad to hear that your part of town wasn't that bad! Alf I will try zumba very soon!. My husband and I will be…

Oh Alf thanks for the information! I have running shoes (even though I'm not a runner) because I don't have very good arch support, but I guess those wouldn't be good for Zumba. They offer it at the YMCA and I thought I'd give it a shot. They offer a kids Zumba too and I was thinking of signing her up. I am on facebook and…

Karen I'm sorry that you're struggling but you can do this. Just look at the tickers of people who've lost a lot...it's such a great reminder of what hard work can do. Also, remember to take one day at a time. When I decided to quit smoking, instead of looking at the big picture (which can be so daunting) I'd just look at…

OK finally officially back!!! Am much better now...only 2 days of drugs left. Just got back from my first work out since last week and am so glad to be jumping on that band wagon again. This happened to me last year too. I started working at my daughter's school (only an hour a day) but I think I am picking up those germs…

I'm in! I'll pop back later w/stats and an intro! Thanks for starting this group....it's perfect and long overdue!!!

Jena you are by far the best cyber cheerleader anyone could have! I think every forum on every internet site needs one of you!! :flowerforyou:

Oh Stiring please don't tell my I gave you my cold via internet :laugh:

One pound down this week. I have to say I am impatient...why can I easily gain 5 pounds in one week and yet when I am really focused, the weight loss is so slow?!?!?!

I did get on the blog but I can't read it. The ink is almost the same color as the background. Did I mess up or something?

Love the idea of meeting on Fridays....of course maybe we should pop in everyday to see if anyone has questions about anything. We don't necessarily have to post each day, but just check. Also, maybe we should friend each other?

Count me in!

OK I think I need to start posting again! Day 6 of my antibiotic and I have to say I am feeling better. I still have a slight cough though and it's making me CRAZY!!!! This morning I decided that I'd had enough rest and decided to do 30 min. on the elliptical, however I kept coughing through the workout so I had to stop at…

Hey all...haven't posted in a few days. Been nursing myself back to health and I have to say I think my antibiotics are finally kicking in. It's amazing how those heavy colds can totally kick your butt!!! I haven't exercised but still tried to eat well and am hoping to start moving again today. I did notice that there are…

Hey Tamara...I did sent my weight on Friday. I maintained because I was tying to get on the Friday weigh in schedule so zero loss this week. Hope I did that right. Should I send you a private message? Sorry about the confusion.

Again I say....GO BEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:drinker:

Tamara I'm sorry you went through such a sad loss. That had to have been rough going through a year of all those "firsts". I wish you well today. I did weigh myself today even though I just weighed myself 4 days ago because I want to be on the same page as all of you. As suspected, no change, still 223. I am sure that next…

Hey all...hope you're all having a good day. OK as much as I've fought it I gave in today. Breathing has become so difficult that I finally got my butt to the urgent care center. I have a sinus infection and upper respiratory infection and have been put on antibiotics. Not really focusing on food or fitness and can't wait…

Tron I have seen her and she looks great! stiring, you were right...not sure I should have walked. I walked for an hour and just poured sweat...not from walking fast but from being sick. And now I can't stop coughing. I just went and bought some Vick's...haven't used that since I was a kid but I can not breathe and I'm…

Hi again, thanks for the great welcome! So much to keep up with at first so forgive me if I don't remember people's posts or name at first...I PROMISE I'll get the hang of it. Deneen I know what you mean about not sharing your weight. This is the first place...this very forum...where I have ever told anyone my weight. I've…

Tron I love your pic! You weren't nerdy at all! In fact you remind me of Jacquelyn Smith. (dating myself I guess :) Sing I do know how tempting work snacks can be. I only work an hour a day at my daughter's school but those teachers are always bringing something in! I just need to walk away. Stiring your workouts inspire…

Thanks guys...I've always wanted to try it but wanted feedback first.

Thanks guys!
