Sounds fine with me. Though I'm a little OCD so I'll probably always go back and check in with anything that's been updated. lol Sandy

Lydia - I'm so sorry about the migraine and the lack of A/C can't possibly make it any better. My mom suffers with them consistently and I did for years but since I left the stress of my last job and moved to Louisiana they've been happily infrequent. *knock wood* I really wouldn't worry about doing too much exercise with…

Dyanna - sounds like a great mini-goal to me. Don't know if you've done this or not but instead of using the scales it's a good option to measure yourself in key points around your body and then reassess every few weeks or so. Inches are an even more valuable indicator than the scales. Try this points if you want: neck,…

Welcome Lydia! Sounds like an exciting life of travel though I understand how you might get a little lonely for friends/family you've known a long time. What brought you to England and then Germany? Kudos to your son for getting paid to exercise. I visited my 18 year old the first month of summer vacation and paid him $50…

Good morning all! I love the summer months too when I don't have to get up so early and head to work. Marsellient - I've never been much of a breakfast person either but in May when I began taking this weight off I started exercising early and afterward I would drink a bottle of water and eat a banana and Sargento Reduced…

Okay... today i'm at 249.25 which means two days without the 250 pound weight block on the scales. I won't say it's official until I go a week like that but I'm pretty psyched! Whoot!

Jan.. I'm taking 18+ hours so I can continue to teach dual enrollment history classes. I was a teacher, then administrator, at a middle school in Florida. When I moved to LA I started teaching again at a Christian high school. I enjoy teaching though my brain hurts when I have to right papers for my own classes. lol I'm…

Welcome Dyanna! Sounds like you've made a really great decision and have a solid plan for reaching your goal. BTW I love Leslie Sansone and her workouts. I only joined this group a few days ago myself but the people here are wonderful and I'm so happy now to be one of them. *smiles* Sandy PS... 51 in September and I want…

Dj.. just noticed your slider and can not wait to be where you are already. And yet I'm happy to be where I am now rather than where I was 2 months ago. I guess it's all relative and in the end we're (at least I'm) never totally satisfied with progress. I did get to move the big weight over today to the 200 rather than 250…

jan... we miss em when they're gone and would like a little "me" time when they're underfoot.. *smiles* I take a grad class so today I'll be reading for a paper that's due on Wednesday. No physical activity involved but later I'll make sure and do a WATP video and if the rain holds off I might even take a walk outside in…

Dj.. i'm so excited for you to have the elliptical. You're doing great already and I think your mini-goal is perfect. As for clothes, I keep the next size of jeans I'm heading into sitting out in my closet. Is it weird that I try them on about once a week to see how much more I need to lose before they feel good? lol

Toni.. what is "30 DS"?
-
Sounds like a plan. It's always great to be able to slide back into those things we've got hanging in the back of the closet or even folded and hidden away from non-use.

Dj.. that's why I use a garmin talking GPS. It tells me where I'll be turning next so I can be in the right lane, etc. I got one when I started driving from Florida to Louisiana and back. It's been a life saver.

Jan.. I say go for it! My new abode is in a very clique-ish place where everyone has known everyone since before they were born so newbies are pretty much strangers for the first 20 years. Hubby doesn't like to go places so I'm a loner for the most part. Use your time alone to do something just for yourself. Go to a movie.…

A challenge sounds good for me. We can do it with exercise minutes, weight, healthy meals eaten... whatever works for everybody. Good idea, Toni!

Good morning and happy Friday to all! It's a blustery, wet day here in north Louisiana so I'll stick to indoor projects until I have to go to the grocery store later. Am currently redoing the bathroom and the floor has my attention at the moment... busting up old tiles to put in new ones. You would think living in the…

Hi folks! I've been looking for a group that's a bit like me and hoping this one is it. I'm 51 for another few months and need to lose about 100 pounds more than the 27 I've dropped since the end of May. My husband is also working out and trying to lose 50 but he's not really very good at the support thing for others.
