Ok, so after a few days away I see Meag called me a slacker...ha ha...just kidding...but seriously here is my check in. I'm having total mommy guilt about working out. It's slowly starting to get nicer out here any son loves to be outside and active....when I drive off to head to the gym I feel so bad leaving...Mommies...I…

Ahh Kelly...er I mean Erin I think you hit the nail on the head....MFP ROCKS and is very important in this process but I agree...you have to take care of things in the real world...I :heart: mfp as much as the next person but somedays it takes all I have to log my calories....and I don't have time to even get to the…

I am headed back to water aerobics today and I'm SO EXCITED :bigsmile:…

It's interesting learning your name is Erin! You've been Kelly in mind....I think it's because of your name and one of my good friends is Kelly and I call her Kell Bell...hee hee. I'll now start referring to you as Erin in my mind.

kbellnurse: Good luck to you. I think you have the right attitude and new outlook to really make a change for the better! Thanks for sharing your 'confession' it's nice to know that there are other people that have been in similar situations or have at least felt similar feelings. Marriage is work and whoever tried telling…

Now I have some confessing to do....I have not been a star this week at the gym actually I have been MIA also at the gym this week. TOM was a BIG BIG BIG factor at the beginning of the week, stayed home from work. This was my first real battle with TOM while full out doing the calorie/workout thing...it was rough...but it…

I wanted to do my best to catch up... Mkingraham- I am dying to know what W4D2 is….also what a great idea about sharing clothes while changing sizes!! It’s like the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants hee hee. What a supportive & cost effective solution. Kudos to you!!! I would love to participate but I feel I have a LONG…

Hello Everyone!! Happy Be-lated Valentine's Day!! Sorry I've been MIA the past few days, the computer situation at home sucks, and again with my mfp app no message boards...blah blah. I will hopefully have more time to respond to posts this afternoon. Just wanted to log in and wish everyone good luck this week with…

lostalykat & meag- you are both so positive!!! I love it...I'm hoping it'll rub off on me sooner or later :blushing: My TOM is just around the corner so I know I was probably over sensitive to her conversation...On top of that I felt a little ambushed walking into my house....mostly it was about me and about 10% about…

Kbell- I'm so sorry. I know exactly what you're feeling, that car is as good as yours (like you said in your heart you have already bought it, not to mention invested time and emotion into finding it and contacting the seller) *great job finding something that will work for you and in the price range!!* I too obsess over…

I like this quote...even if it is a little cheesy :tongue: I am trying to find quotes that I can have in my office that will inspire me in different ways! This one made the board!!!

What a wonderful thread to wake up to! Kancrav- Your words were so wonderful and so true!! We are always willing to help *pick someone up* when they're feeling down, and right there with encouraging words/congratulations for every little (but really big in the big picture) accopmlishment....why can't we be a little kinder…

Hi hi :glasses: Today is my weigh in day and I'm down 1 more pound. I'm pleasantly surprised by that. I dealt with temptation this weekend and put my healthy choice practicing skills into action. I was out of town with some girls for Pampered Chef and I was nervous...snacks, drinks and eating out....but over all I think I…

Just getting in a quick post...I have not been doing so hot since the weekend. Thank good ness it's a double work out night water aerobics and some cardio before hand...I feel like I'm procrastinating lately about just about everything...literally this morning cancelled a group for work that I would have had to travel 45…

Happy Monday Morning! Forgive the LONG post...but I was MIA for a couple of days and I have lots to catch up on.... @lolahippie- good luck with your car troubles...I remember it feeling so overwhelming because if you're lost without a car (no accessible/reliable public transportation) it can be terrible!!

:indifferent: I did the same thing!!! I have never once weighed what my license said. I have to get mine renewed in a month and I'm hoping to shed some more and then dun dun dunnnnn I may write down my actual weight. Now that is hard to swallow :indifferent:

Good Thursday Morning!! It's freezing here in WI (not unlike much of the midwest) I did make it to my water aerobics class last night and it was fantastic! I love the way I feel when I leave, very accomplished and motivated. One of the great perks to working out is I'm much more motivated to make healthy food choices as…

Good Morning Everyone!! Just checking in. I'm loving this thread and all the wonderful inspiration that I'm finding here =) I did water aerobics last night, I'm getting the hang of it and I really like it. I'm pretty self conscious about doing regular aerobics until I've been a little more active. Which is hilarious…

Question of the Day (QOTD) What are you doing today to get ready for this month? Well I'm doing water aerobics tonight and tomorrow and starting my 30 day shred challenge on Thursday am. Meal planning is also key for me so staying ahead of the game and making sure that we don't run out of 'healthy options' is important.…

Good Morning and Happy February Everyone!!! I am so excited to be a part of this challenge =) My name is Jessica and I live in Green Bay WI (Go Packers, ha ha) I'm a wife and mom and I work full-time for an AIDS Service Organization. I find that working that 8-5 job is hard to stay motivated for working out. I'm catching…

I'm so happy that the videos are available on netflix, I have it streamed to the Wii and am excited to find them!! I'm not sure the technical bits for the group (although I do know that you are informal) I'm trying the Jillian Michaels Shred this month so I'll say that I'd like to walk *25 miles* during the month of…
