I just finished week 1 of Beta, add me if you'd like.

46, next month I'll be 47. Add me if you'd like.

46 yo SAHM here, looking to lose another 50 lbs. Add me and let's do it together.

That looks like a great site! We're doing US geography this year, I will definitely use this!

We're about 25 miles south of Ely. You probably drove by my house on your way there.

It always is hard for us to get motivated between Thanksgiving and Christmas. I don't know if it's the winter starting and wanting to just hibernate or that things are so busy and exciting. Whatever it is, it hits us every year. After the new year it seems to get better.

We live in Northeast Minnesota, near the Boundary Waters Canoe area.

We use a loose classical model. I'm pretty laid back about most things, but my girls are learning to diagram sentences and will use correct grammar. It works well for us to have some structure.

Hi Everyone, My name is Dawn, My husband and I have been home schooling our girls ages 11 and 8 since the beginning. We really enjoy the flexibility and individualization that homeschooling gives us. My girls love it! I've been overweight since I was a teen and have tried just about everything. I lost 40 lbs on my own 4…

Homeschooling Mom here!! I have 2 girls ages 11 and 8, we've homeschooled from the beginning and we LOVE it!! I've lost 58lbs so far, most of it was 3 years ago, then life got in the way with the loss of my Mom and having to care for my Dad until he passed away a year ago. Plus all the stuff that goes along with that. But…

My weight stayed the same...not a surprise, it hasn't budged in 3 weeks. Got 30 miles in on the stationary bike.

Great job staying strong!!

I'm 5'5" and my goal is 140.

Starting weight: 183 lbs Halloween goal: 174 lbs

Count me in on this one too. I've been at a plateau and need something to kick me into gear again!!

We're on our second day of school and things are going good. There was a lot of moaning and groaning yesterday, but today is better. The house is so quiet, I love it!! The bickering between the 2 of them is gone for a few hours a day, YAY!!

Yay! That's a REALLY good thing. :)

50 jumping jacks and 118 oz of water in today. Same as yesterday.

Hi Patti, I thought I would throw this in since you are having trouble deciding on a curriculum. We use a mish mash of different things because I couldn't find a boxed set that I liked everything about. We use Saxon Math, Rod and Staff English and Spelling, Apologia young explorers science, All American history, plus…

I'm reporting my 50 jumping jacks and 118 oz. of water today.

I'm ready to go!! I've got 24oz of water down, getting ready to hit the workout including jumping jacks! Today I'm doing one of Bob Harper's biggest loser workouts (here's where the jumping jacks come in) and a belly dance workout after lunch. What are your plans for the day?

I totally forgot to weigh in as well...still holding at 180, but TOM is messing with me. Misty, I had the same problem this spring with being late and having symptoms of being preggo. I also had my tubes tied and with being 41 was a little freaked out. Turns out it was the change starting to rear its ugly head and I've…

So sorry about the loss of your friend. Healing prayers coming your way. Nice job on the loss.

Sondra, you're on maintenance, so I think you should get a pass on the 100oz. and just go with the 8 cups. Anyone disagree?

Aww thanks Kendra!! I like the combined fitness and diet challenge. Jumping jack and water for the first week is fine with me.

Hi Tasha and Sondra

LOL!! No worries...Dorie is my adorable fluffy white toy poodle, and I won't take it personal :). Glad you liked the naysayer comment. Friday weigh-in is fine with me.

Set some mini goals. Try not to look at the big picture. Take one day at a time, if you have to, take one meal at a time. You can do this!!
