@pridesabtch; -- Hugs to you! I took care of my mother, but that was because of cancer, so I never experience what you are going through with your mother. I can't imagine how hard that must be.

I am so happy that you like the LIVESTRONG class! I have gotten so used to exercise now.. I love how it makes me feel. I am enjoying the SS class... it uses muscles I don't use with just the treadmill and machines.. mostly the core muscles. Ha.. now if it would only help me to lose weight though! I so agree about eating…

You are doing great!!!

I need to make this a priority again... Its late in the day, but I will set my goals for the rest of the day, because the evenings are always the hardest for me.

Somehow I missed this post.. OM.. thank you for posting this!!! And congratulations on losing so much weight.. very proud of you!! Yes, that extra weight on our joints is real.

I could never eat the same thing everyday!! I know a lot of people do this, and it helps lose weight.. but you are so right. Once you are at goal, you dont want to live your life eating the same thing all the time, plus its just not doable I don't think. You have done great in your losing... I would say keep doing what you…

I think I either lost my goals yesterday.. but doesn't matter.. I completely blew the day. So heres to another start. I want to respond to many of you... but also... by joining the challenge does not mean we all have to try and lost 5#. For me.. especially this time of year, to just not gain is a win. I so understand how…

Your words again, are exactly the same as mine. I am my highest weight.. every day I tell myself this is the day. I don't know why I am having such a difficult time. So... I started a 5# challenge for this month.. so I hope you can join us. I think a lot of us on here are struggling.. maybe we can pull each other up, help…

Yes.... and you hold me accountable to!! I will post my weight on Mondays also. I do weigh myself too often I think... and I just get discouraged. I know when I started to gain and got into the 190s, and vowed to get that back down... only to keep gaining. Now I am close to where I was when I going WW. (I was 217 then..…

OCTOBER CHALLENGE I am starting my own personal challenge again... if anyone wants to join me. A 5# challenge for the month of october. Joan: SW: 208 5# challenge goal by Nov 1st: 203

SO posting my goals for today, after I've already blown my diet for today. Last nite.. went to the grocery stores. Those stupid snickers ice cream bars (250 calories each) were on sale, 10 for $10.00. $1.00 a piece. I bought 4... thinking one for each of us, and an extra one for me. Well... I ate one last nite. Today,…

This is SO me right now!!! My words exactly!!! I workout all the time... I go to the gym 4x a week, I am taking a exercise class 2x a week.. I am now riding my bike. Yet... I am so out of control with the eating. Lets both commit today to do better.. I know I'm ready!! We both did it before... we can do it again!! You've…

@Bex... when it rains it pours! You sure have a lot going on right now.. hoping your cut is better, and things turn around for you. Found out today a very good friend broke her hip... she needed a 10 inch rod and screws! So I have to be careful... at our age, falls can be bad. So.. ha... what do I do but go for a bike…

tues, 9/24 1. log all food :) 2. concentrate on water :) 3. go to silver sneakers class. I can't go to gym in morning because we have roofers coming out. :) 4. tiny habits: a. Right after I clean up dinner dishes.. brush my teeth and floss. >:) b. Whenever I go to the bathroom... gulp down a huge glass of water >:) c.…

Last nite I went to the store with my daughter to get cleaning supplies for her. I threw in my cart a box of ice cream (on sale for 2.99, and a bag of those crazy little pumpkin/candy corn candies). Well... I got home and ate half of the bag of pumpkin candy.... and had an upset stomach, intestinal problems this morning.…

Went to the gym yesterday for 2 hours... I was proud of myself that I kept going. Hubby goes that long, and since I didn't go in the morning, I went with him. I mainly rode the bike, since I was told this is the best for your knees. Plus.. I am hoping I can get out on my outside bike soon. My sciatic nerve is getting…

The best of luck to you... on both the procedure and the prep. The prep is the worse. I have to have this done every 3 years.. and anymore, now they restrict what you eat even a couple days before the prep. But... it does really help with the prep. I tend to try and eat very lite for 2 days prior.. and I have found…
