Boy, do I understand that comment. Not the contacts - but the arms are not long enough:laugh:

Hi all, I'm back from my trip. I went to Curves yesterday and it was really hard. I intended to go to Curves while traveling but the locations were not handy and I didn't have my own car so was kind of trapped. I'm leaving shortly to go back and try again this morning on the Smart Machines. I'll try to read back to where I…

Hi all, I'm back from my 2 1/2 week trip. It was a great trip but I'm ready to get back on track with my disciplined eating and working out. I gained while on my trip and I'm hoping it will come off as fast as it went off ... which I know it never does :grumble: I am not 100% sure of how many days I may have gone past my…

Good Morning All: I'm back! 2 1/2 weeks of visiting with family, attending a college graduation (in 111 degrees for 6 hours), visiting Yosemite National Park a couple of times! It was a good trip and now I've come home to some yard work and other chores to catch up on. I"m so thankful for our wonderful neighbor who took…

keri: Your schedule is just amazing. How do you do it? Hang in there! I am hungry and it's past my cutoff so I guess I'll go to bed and avoid the kitchen. 3 days down for me. Esther

ngwife: Totally understandable that you're stressed. Good job on passing up the snacks while studying. A few more weeks of studying and then MAYBE you can relax a little - after all those tests for the job too!:flowerforyou: dewdrop: Friendships are important. I thought your cutoff was 11:00 on weekends - or was that…

Well, I showed up at curves at 7:00 a.m. ....however, it doesn't open until 8:00 a.m. So I came home and went back later. I was afraid it wouldn't happen because they close at 11:00 a.m. but I made it! (patting myself on the back) :laugh: Have a good day everyone. Esther

ngwife: Is there something going on that you want to share? If not that's fine. I just hope that your days get less stressful. Day (night) 1 down. Good luck all. Esther

Hi all, Hope your day is going well. I got a late start. Showed up at the gym before it opened! So, I came home and cooked breakfast for my hubby, son and his brother-in-law before they left to go to play paintball. Then went to work out when I could actually get inside Now, I need to get busy on my Saturday chores!…

My PI was raised again by 10 today. It was raised on Monday by 8. That seemed fast! I have a questions. When you put your key card in the kiosk after your workout and the tube fills up - what does that number represent? I NEVER reach the top of that! mkwood: Wow, your home will be so nice when you get done. Sounds nice.…

Thanks Zaza for the flowers :laugh: I'm up for another month. This month will be hard because I will be traveling a lot so my cutoff will be 9:00 p.m. Good luck everyone. Esther

:flowerforyou: So many of you have such good goals. Write them down and post them somewhere you will see them everyday so you can stay focused! :flowerforyou: Barb: Pizza is such a temptation for me. I have found that the Papa Murphy’s Delite pizza is quite tasty. I buy a pizza, cut it up in individual pieces and freeze it…

Look for the MAY thread in the Motivation and Support Board. See you there:happy:

My May goals are: Workout a minimum of 4 times a week Drink 8 / 8 oz glasses of water a day :drinker: Lose 4 pounds by the end of the month Lose 2 inches total by the end of the month Hope you all have a great Friday and a wonderful weekend. Esther

Welcome to the thread for Women in their 50’s (or thereabouts). Actually, any woman is welcome. We are a group of women who wanted support and encouragement from others who are facing some of the same challenges. This has turned out to be a very helpful tool for me and hopefully for many others. I have met many new friends…

Sherry - sorry to hear of your loss. It is such a hard time. You'll be in my prayers and thoughts. Remember to take care of you through this. 30 days down. I did it! :laugh: If anyone told me I would make it 30 days without eating past my cutoff time I would not have believed it. Thanks Zaza for inspiring us to take on the…

Hi all: I went today and then spent the afternoon cleaning and repacking our travel trailer for a camping trip for a couple of days next week. I usually go to curves in the morning so don't know about afternoons. This morning was kind of low in attendance but it usually is on tues and thurs. Have a good evening.

Good morning all: Zaza: You're welcome :wink: I will start the May thread tonight (late) so it's ready for tomorrow morning. Thanks Susan for sharing your results. You did really well with your goals. Hopefully everyone can review their goals and see how they have done - even if you don't post it it would be good for you…

I'm heading to bed and have gotten day 29 behind me. One more day in April :happy: :happy:

Nancy: For me gardening and yard work is therapy. It's been wet here lately so not much of that going on for me but am looking forward to it soon - I hope! Good night all. I'l catch you in the morning.:yawn: Esther

sorry about your pinched nerve . Hope you recover quickly.

Well, my PI was increased another 8 today. Wow - that was quick. I did well though and didn't have any yellow spots on my results screen. Hope you're all having a good day. Esther

oops - that is I HOPE - not I hop ( although that would be more calories burned if I hopped) :laugh:

Good morning all. Wow - April is almost over! I can't believe it! Barbie: We had a 1999 Mallard and have upgraded to a 2006 Outback. This will be our final RV purchase and it should last us through our traveling years. We kind of have a trip to Arizona (well, in our heads only so far) in the fall to see some of our…

28 down. I did go back for that snack but well within my cutoff time. Have a great day, Esther

Thanks Zaza. I'm off to get my last snack - or maybe just some hot water. Not really hungry. Anyway, it's only 7:30 here so I have 1 1/2 hour until my cutoff time. HAve a great evening. Esther

I hear ya! With the weather getting nicer and the outdoor activites increasing it could lead to mindless eating. But....we could focus on getting up and moving around more?? Maybe playing croquet, ladder golf, etc. I do have more energy when the sun is shining! Esther

Okay buddies - where are you? I have been bad about not posting these last couple of days. But, I'm here today and have been to Curves. It was my 80% day so tomorrow will be stronger and harder because my PI has been raised by 28! I don't know a lot about the heart rate monitors or what one is best. Yeahbuddy would be the…

27 down. Better eating is going to be my goal for May as well as not eating late. I can do the cutoff but I have fallen to eating some 'junk' and staying within the calories but still.....I don't need the junk! Have a great evening. Esther

It seems like forever since I've posted. Been busy and have read a bit but not posted. Kathy - sounds like you and I are at about the same weight and goal still. I weigh in and get measured Thursday. We'll see if the inches have come off like I've hoped. Still not down a size but I have been pretty careful and have been…
