I spent a long time replying to the previous posts and thought that I had already posted, so deleted the document so it would be ready to go for the next time. How stupid is that? CityJane - good for you on the 30DS. I modify some of the exercises like jumping jacks - found something on YouTube with modified jumping jacks.…

FInally got to skim the pages from the past 10 or so days. I simply don't have the time to reply individually this time, but hope that I can get back on track again to do that. I always appreciate advice, empathy and the general kindness of this group. As for me, I just think that I am eternally frustrated with my body. I…

Brooke,Katla, Gonzamm and fellow supporters – Thanks so much for the encouragement. I know that what took me more than a few days to gain won't fall off in a few days, but the instant gratification demon wants results NOW. Well, as I said, I will stick with it and hope to see some results soon. I did my 30DS today and am…

It's another chilly day here - only 44, really tough considering that it was 83 earlier this week. Tomorrow is supposed to be warmer and I hope that I can get a bike ride in. If it is windy, I will do a walk instead. Today is my weigh-in day and I was less than thrilled with the scale. I have upped my exercise this week…

Sue – Like you, I would not want to do that colonoscopy prep again. At least it is better than it was 10 years ago – but that isn't saying much. I didn't drop a pound doing it, but it would be a good starting point. Sharon – I hear you about exercising and staying under and gaining. It's very frustrating. CityJane – I have…

Thought you were talking about me - but guess I would be the one who had 750 calories of alcohol (no sugar) :wink: Are you saying that chocolate and wine shouldn't be part of those 1200 calories?

Viv – Congrats on keeping within the calorie limit and the weightloss. Carol – I am sure that your entry looks good. It's amazing how a change of paint can add new life to a space. As far as changing calories, you might want to try 1200 for awhile. Some will say that you might need to add calories. It never seems easy to…

Debra – Welcome. Good idea to break weightloss into small attainable goals. Some days I think I need to break it down into ounces just so it seems that I am making progress. 10 pounds is a good increment. I need to lose 50, but just thinking about that is too overwhelming. Jackie – I know that the green juice was something…

Does anybody even think about giving a kid an at-home perm? I also was subjected to these perms. I remember that we could pick a look to resemble story book characters or child stars like Shirley Temple, Cinderella, Guess that curly hair was something special, but like you, the perm came out frizzy and Cinderella looked…

CityJane – congrats on the weightloss. Would you mind sharing your face exercises or a link to them? I have bad knees and am encouraged to hear that exercising helped. Did you see a physio? Blank Canvas – I feel your frustration, but with all that exercise you must be in good shape. It's funny how people assume if you are…

Jo – I started on Level 1 and 2 a few weeks ago and honestly don't even know how long I did those. I just started on Level 3 a few days ago and may just do that for 30 days. MA – congratulations on getting below the 200 mark. Gonzamm – I really like your goal of having your husband carry you over the threshold. Lucy – glad…

Carol– like your philosophy-very inspiring. And don't feel bad at all. Sometimes things just happen all at once and I personally think that a trip to the pity pot now and then is fine. It's good that you survived being off track a bit. I think to totally ignore life events and become a pollyanna isn't good either. You just…

Kim – Congrats on day 10 of the Shred. I am on level 3, but not really sure how many days I have done it. I don't usually do it on consecutive days. I also do 6 pack in 6 weeks. Don't know if I see any difference yet. Jodios – I love homemade cc cookies. Fortunately, the house we are living in right now doesn't have an…

I have a hard time getting rid of things that are too small. I always feel if I do that, I am admitting that they will never fit again and am in someway not optimistic about ever being able to wear those small things again. Just the other day, I found a pair of size 12 jeans and they looked tiny. I didn't think that I was…

Sue in Texas - there will be a per minute charge for internet if this is a major cruise line. They offer packages that make it more economical than paying the per minute charge. Have a great cruise. I am also going on a cruise and that was an incentive for me to lose weight, along with being sick and tired of being…

Thanks for all the warm welcomes. Joining this group is a good way for me to keep on track this month. Today has been good so far. Wish it would warm up a bit so that I get some bicycle riding in. I know that I could bundle up to ride, but prefer not to do that. Did my 30day Shred today.

I am relatively new here and 50ish. For April my goals are as follows: -continue with the 30DS -drink a lot more water ( I hate drinking water although I do drink tea) -log my food -start riding my bicycle 10 miles per day as soon as the temp gets above 50. -lose 8 pounds I have already exceeded my calories on this first…
