Yes it was nice to get to meet everyone.

Wow that is a big savings on electric. I did not see that big of a drop with my new unit however it did drop some. I have seen more of a savings with the gas and the new furnace than the electric and ac. Home ownership is not what it's cracked up to be. A lot of hidden expenses and when it's all done the government still…

I just realized I put Stacy's name down as one who had posted all 31 days I got copy and paste happy sorry Stacy.

Any kind of cheese cake sounds good. LOL I didn't do so well last night at least food wise. Me and the wife had a date night and ended up getting pizza and watching the sunset. We had an awesome sky last night!

Good morning and congratulations everyone on a great month. You guys really helped me to be mindful of what I was eating even if I did flub it up enough to not lose much. It's a win for everyone when you use a group like this for support. I hope everyone has a great holiday. I know I will, I'm heading out to the range with…

Whoo Hooo! Day 31! I will be there Wednesday evening Carol and I will post those who made it all 31 days tonight after they finish signing in. Carol I thought the whole idea around Paleo was so you do not have to think about it so much. It seems like you are thinking about your diet more so now than ever. I hate to see you…

I wish the forum had a lot of things Mark. One is being able to edit the headers and the big one would be to get email notification of post.

We have too threads going here. This one has the right date for Saturday so we will try to go with this one. LOL I'm glad I only have to track one more day because with the two threads it's going to get confusing.

Well Mark you certainly put our winters in prospective. LOL I love the idea of building a snow shelter and ice fishing. I am going to have to learn to embrace winter. Me and my buddy keep talking about winter camping we will have to do it this year. I hope everyone keeps the thread going too. It's nice to come in here and…

LOL love it! Mark there is something seriously wrong with you liking winter. LOL Winter camping does sound fun though.

Sounds like you really love your job, that is a great thing to have in life. I love George Jones thanks for the link. I'm up 1 lb this week. The month is over and I did not do even come close to what I wanted accomplish but at least checking in with you guys kept me somewhat on track.

Glad you had a loss Stacy! I'm looking forward to the weekend. Tomorrow I'm having the guys from church over for poker, pizza, beer and cigars. lol Should be a fun night!

That sounds like a pretty rough day John. I hope you can get your tires quickly today and enjoy some down time and relaxation. Still two pounds up for me this week so I don't know if that will come off by Friday or not. I used to be able to count on a loss no matter what I ate on treat day but does not seem to be the case…

[/quote] "I know it doesn't matter, but I don't see that I jumped in a day late if it started on August 1st, since I have a post on August 1st lol. It's been fun regardless. Early Tuesday check in!" [/quote] You are right Kevin I missed that. Sorry! When this is over if anyone wants to check there results feel free to…

I almost did that myself last Friday Stacy, I had to jump on and do a quick post but almost forgot all together. Kevin you have missed two days as you jumped in a day late from the start. The important thing is that we are all thinking about what we are doing with our bodies. So weather you are still in the challenge or…

Just another manic Monday I wish it was Sunday. Now you guys will have that song running through your head all day, assuming you know the song. lol Weekend went pretty good. I am up 3 lbs which is normal after treat night on Friday. So we will see where I end up to end this month long challenge. I wanted to be under 290…

Wow only 7 days left to August! Time sure does fly. Assuming Stacy checks in today we still have 8 people that have done every day. Good job folks. I hope you will stick with it after the challenge. I like hearing from you all. Mark it just makes me sad to think of 50 degrees and a chance of snow. LOL I'm sitting on my…

Sounds like it was a stressful week for a few of us. I hope you all had your beer last night and found a happy place. lol Mark what's the temps like out there? Sounds like your still having fun regardless of the weather. We had a fun week, we traded in our Ford Focus that had the wonderful transmission problems that Ford…

This month sure has gone quick. And I sure am not where I wanted to be. LOL Still plugging along though.

Doesn't everyone want a beer! It's proof God loves us and wants us to be happy. lol John I think you are stuck on military time, you added a 0 in there. lol Carol works days so I think she meant pm but I could be wrong. I had a great week this week and the scale showed it. I'm down the 4 lbs I was up last week.

AND BOY DID I WANT A BEER!

It was a tough night last night as we went to a baseball game at the local Triple A team. However I stayed away from the beer and it was 50 cent wing night so I just had 15 boneless wings and stayed in my calories. As long as that is 9:30 pm I can make that assuming I don't miss any days between now and Aug 31st. Here are…

My motivation for exercise is to keep the ability to move. If you don't move at some point you won't be able to. LOL Carol we all know you have issues and love you anyways. Heck who are we kidding we all have issues. The thing with me is I'm not eating and thinking about food just because of hunger. I can be full and still…

Good morning all! Things are going really well for me this week and I am down 1lb already so I'm hoping for 3 by Friday. It's been nice having the group so active. I still wish they had email notifications for post, that is pretty basic.

Thanks for the advise but with me it's not just cravings for the processed food. I over indulge on the good stuff too. It's the feeling I get when eating and stuffing myself, I don't know it's hard to explain. I did a lot better this weekend. I just had my one dinner treat night on Friday and was pretty decent the rest of…

Thanks John I appreciate the support.

Hope all goes well and they get the fire under control Mark. I was lucky enough to find a sight that once I gave them a few names they linked me in with the rest of the Broyles and I have my family history clear back to Germany 1600s. It's interesting to be able to look back and see where and who you came from.

I can't believe the month is already half over. We still have 8 in the running. I went ahead and marked GoodDayToYou down for yesterday since she told us she would be out of contact. John, in answer to your question I do think about what I am putting in and what it will do for me. I also think about food constantly. It is…

I always use my real name and the 6267 is my birthday.

Thanks Mark and it fine for anyone to start the thread on a new week as you can see I have forgot two weeks in a row. LOL
