I just finished that book! I really liked it. Welcome to MFP! :bigsmile: You will enjoy it here!

Bumping this so I can read it later. I desperately need some motivation right now! I've been stuck at the same weight since May - UGH!!!!!! :noway: I'm 5'7" and I'd like to get down to 150. I haven't been that weight in probably 15 years. :ohwell: 12 years of marriage and five babies kind of changed things up for me.…

Thanks for sharing!!! For sure going to try these! :happy:

Our computer is finally in the land of the living again as of Friday. YAY!!!!!! I LOVE this group and it has challenged me and kept me a float many times. But I'm needing to weed some things out and I'm not going to be hopping in here as much. I have a challenge for myself and I'm planning on trying my best to follow it…

Our computer is dead, so I'll be gone for a while.... Keep at it Ladies!!

Thanks, Pink! :flowerforyou:

Well, Ladies - I have been slacking GREATLY this summer. I feel like I have been so overwhelmed with traveling and all that includes and then have extras around and now the chicken pox and the fussiness that brings. :wink: By the way, they are STILL showing up. Today, they are popping up in her hair. :noway: BUT I was…

Mmmmmm - all this talk of fudge. :happy: Friday was our anniversary. 11 years we have been married - doesn't seem possible. Anyway, we were greeted with CHICKEN POX. :laugh: Our three year old has them and she is the only one that has had them before, so this is her second go around with them - poor baby. So it's been an…

Sounds like everyone is really putting it out there! GREAT job, Ladies!!! :flowerforyou: I'm slowly trying to get back into the groove of life. I've managed two SMALL walks the last couple of day, but nothing to really brag about. Better than nothing, right? So my happies for today are: 1. it's supposed to rain today 2.…

Sounds like everyone's doing great. I'm trying to jump back on the wagon and really make some tracks with these last few pounds - okay, so 25 pounds isn't really "these last few", but I'm closer than I was. :wink: I'm hoping to get back into p90x then when it cools down a bit, start C25K - we'll see what happens. Hope…

:yawn: :yawn: I just got home from the ER with our 2 year old that got 8 stitches above his eye, due to a misplaced baseball bat by his brother. :grumble: Oy, what a day........ Company arrives in about 30 min - :indifferent: My three happies: 1. Little man isn't hurt worse than he is 2. we have a great family that loves…

I'm HOME!!!!! :bigsmile: :bigsmile: SO good to be home. I've been trying to get unpacked, etc with five little "helpers" (slightly chaotic :laugh: ) and hubster's entire family is coming in this weekend, so I'm trying to get things ready for that. We're going to have a great weekend. :bigsmile: So I'll be back in full…

It sounds like everyone is doing GREAT!!! My three happies: 1 - we are going home tomorrow:bigsmile: 2 - we are going home tomorrow:bigsmile: 3 - we are going home tomorrow:bigsmile: Can you tell I'm SO excited to be going home? Three weeks is TOO long to be away. :happy: Have a great weekend, Ladies! :flowerforyou:

Thank you for starting the new thread, Linda. :happy: When I get home I would really like to start p90x again. I would also really like to do C25K, too. I'll be thinking about what I'm going to do and let everyone know. I would really like to lose SOMEthing during this challenge. :blushing: I need a kick start, but I'm…

I'm still not home - won't be until the 18th...did I already mention that? :blushing: anyway, I really want to keep up the group, because it helps me so much!!! When I get home from all of this, I'm going to hit it hard again. :happy: And I despiritely want to try C25K. I'll look for the new thread. You girls are…

I'm still not home and won't be until the 18th of July, but I popped in here while I had a few minutes. I just have a second and I wanted to say, I DO want to continue this H2O challenge. You all are such a support to me and help keep me going. Even though I didn't get the walking challenges done, I DO love this challenge…

Thanks, Pink and Nurse! :flowerforyou: I know it's fine to eat and I need to eat, but a half a cookie bar might have been fine, not FIVE whole cookie bars. :noway: :blushing: Anyway, thank you for the encouragement. I hope I can keep my head in the game as this is really a lifestyle change, not just a diet I am wanting to…

SOOO good to have everyone back (well not EVERYone is back yet, but a lot of you are :wink: ) :bigsmile: We were invited to a "picnic" tonight to some friends house and I feel like I've blown it. :cry: I feel like I've gone back into the old self and didn't even THINK about what all I ate until it was already eaten and…

Certainly calls for a happy mommy dance. GREAT JOB!!!!!!! :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

I had a bridal shower for a friend yesterday, so I've been busy this week getting ready for that. But that's over and I survived and the wedding is next week, so I just need to get this crazy dress modified and…

So I tried on my dress last night - remember the one for the wedding next week that I posted about a few posts back? and it has to be taken up at LEAST 4 inches. :noway: I'm talking at least 4 inches TOO BIG! :noway: <Hump> Hefty, indeed!!!! I was quite happy that it was too big though. :bigsmile: BTW, I lost 1.2 lbs this…
