So sorry to hear you have been sick. We have missed you:) I was wondering where you went to. I hope you are better soon ((((hugs))))

-15F here in Wisconsin this morning. We warmed up to 12F. Tomorrow is supposed to be close to 30F. So happy, we really will have people in t-shirts outside:)

That is awesome, way to find a balance. Life is short and we need to enjoy it!!! You are doing great Debbie!!!

I so agree, very well said! Joan you are Amazing!!! So thankful for you and all you give back:)

Met all goals yesterday :) Just for today 3/4/15 1.) Cardio at lunch 2.) Track all my food

Joan, I am thinking of you. I am so sorry to hear you had to cancel your plans this weekend to see your grandson for his birthday. Try to stay strong and keep on exercising. Even though it is hard to want to when we are feeling down it will help you feel better both mentally and physically. Do you think you could try to…

Focus on progress rather than perfection and on how far you’ve come rather than on how far you have left to go.......

Yeah, it is kinda of an inside joke, Larro shared with us a while back about his daily squats before shower to make the most of his time. He is quite cleaver, I love a man who can multi task :)

Curious- OMG, that pic is incredible! I knew you were daring but you are even more brave than I thought. You deserve to see all that cool wildlife out in those swells. That makes my lake kayaking look really weak (think bunny hill) :) Sederski- I love your pic too breaking the trail. That looks awesome & challenging!…

Just for today 1.) Accept that I do not have all of the talents other have but I have my own talents and I am just as worthy:) 2.) Cardio at lunch 3.) weights tonight 4.) track all my food I decided I am not going to use a frown face when I do not complete my goal because I am doing my best. I do not want to tear myself…

@Grandmajackie - HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Joan, My month of February ended up pretty good (thanks to you and starting this thread!). I lost 1-2 lbs last month depending on the day I weigh myself it is fluctuating :wink: I really appreciate being in this with all of you and getting the honest feedback when I need it. This is such a great group I am truly blessed to…

Just for today Friday 2/27/15 1.) 40 minutes cardio at lunch 2.) Track all my food 3.) Work on being satisfied with my life, and see the good things around me rather than the things that I don't have:)

CG - thank you for the picture. You look awesome and what a great story with the little duck. Your scenery looks beautiful & brought a smile to my face. We are very cold here, supposed to down to - 12 F tonight. KS- my heart goes out to you, I hope they can find a closer rehab for your DH. Alf - love your new pic, you are…

Ciacyrus, one day at time! Something I have realized is there is almost something to celebrate or throw us off daily. You have the choice and can be in control. You can change & I believe you can do it. I have been setting goals each day & they are 1 day goals I try to achieve. It has really been helping me to break it…

CONGRATS!!! You are on fire!!! Keep up the great work.

Thursday Just for today 2/16/15 1.) Weight lifting tonight 2.) track all my food 3.) 40 minutes cardio at lunch Keep your head up everyone, it is a beautiful day:) Thanks to all of you for all your support.

I love your goals today, especially #3! You said it very well. I am going to learn from you. :)

FEves - I agree with the rest to get another opinion for a doctor. I think there is a something other than perimenopause to be causing such havoc. There are many options available to help without having to have surgery possibly. What you are experiencing is not normal. ((((HUGS))))

Awesome, I am so glad you went and had a good time. You are more popular than you even knew!!! :)

Curious - I am jealous of your wildlife sightings too. That sounds so amazing. I may have to move to California yet! I actually had a co worker and his wife move out to Cali after our last winter, they could not take it anymore. You may have some of the North Easters coming your way after this winter :) Beeps - I hope you…

Thank you kegofstout, grandmajackie, fiestyjojo and everyone else for posting your thoughts. I hope I did not miss anyone, my apologizes if I did. You all mean more than you know, it really helps to know we all struggle and to have this support :)

Azulviolet: I am still trying to watch the calories but I thought maybe I was just trying too hard and over thinking it. I was measuring every bite that went in my mouth, condiments really add up.... All I know is it is the middle of winter (cold as heck and a lot of gray skies), I work full time in an office, try to…

Grandma Jackie - love your pic of your new grandbaby, precious :) That brings a smile to my face. Keep us updated on the bike adventure!!

Alisha - my prayers are with you, stay strong:) Great job on prepping ahead. 3furballs - you are amazing. I love your determination and hearing about your workouts. Great job getting up at 5:30 to workout!! I have not tried Kettlebells, is that a totally different workout than dumbbells? Caramel - Glad to hear you made it…

hello everyone, great positive posts. I don't mean to be a a buzz kill but just need to vent and get this off my chest. I am really struggling right now. I was tracking all my food in January and then it became so hard to keep tracking I decided to not track in February but really focus on the exercise. I also decided not…
