Good morning everyone! Ann, you take care of yourself, get that ankle better. I'm anxious to see what the dr. says, you'll have to let us know right away. I'm really excited about this month. Everyone seems ready to go and get back into things. I got my walk in this morning before it got to hot. The last couple days here…

Morning ladies, you will notice my ticker shows a huge loss, (like 10 lbs). I changed my start weight to the weight I was when I started this journey in April. I also weighed in this am and had a 3.8 loss for the month of June. I was hoping for more, but happy that it was a loss and summers are hard for me. Is everyone…

Good morning everyone! I hope all is good. I weighed this morning, I had taken the month of June off from the scale. I was down 3.8 lbs. I actually am ok with that because I ALWAYS gain in the summer and this was a loss. So I'll take it. I also set up a walking ticker for this month. I had not done it last month so didn't…

I know it seems like alot, but I figure each time I walk it is 4 miles, 4 times a week = 16 times 4 weeks = 64 miles, and to give me that extra push..... maybe your right maybe I'd better be "SMART" and go fro 64 this first month of keeping track. Okay, 64 miles. Here we go................

Good morning everyone!! ARe we ready for July? I'm gonna be walking lots this month. That is my goal, my walking. I'm gonna try for 75 miles. That is gonna be a push for me, but I'm setting myself up a ticker and I'm gonna DO IT!!! I'm a little nervous about weigh in tomorrow. Not sure what's gonna happen. In July I'm…

Thanks Yarmiah, it's easy for me to lose the logging habit, and when I fall, I fall completely, not one thing gets logged. But, I'm up this monring logging my breakfast so I've got a start on the day. yeaaa! I'm interested to see how that recipe works. It all sounds great to me except the spenda part. I'm not a big fan of…

Second day in a row I logged my food. I'm doing great!! No structured exercise today, but I painted my niece's bedroom so my arms got a work out, and the up/down helps. I'm feeling a little sore, muscles I haven't used in forever, etc. etc. Tomorrow it's back to work. HOpefully it won't be to extremely hot when I get home…

that is AWESOME!!! What a great feeling for you!! I went down my son's slide today and didn't hang over the side!

This is so awesome!! I went diving right after my divorce 20 years ago, I was a nice 175. So after reading your story, I pulled out my pictures, my son told me I was HOT!!. That/you are now my inspiration. I'm gonna get back to 175 and take the plunge again!! Thanks, and enjoy the hell out of your scuba diving trip!!!

Kinda the same concept, when I lay on my back I am flat chested and then stand up and the breasts are even with the elbows?

LOL so true, I was on hold with my cable company the other day for over an hour. My abs and legs got a great workout cuz I made myself sit on the floor and do crunches and leg lifts while I was waiting for them to fix my network!!

OMG!!! I thought I was the only one to feel this way!! I HATE summers for that reason alone. I gain every summer. I think I find it easier in the winter because I'm not so on the go, and because my boys are in school. Which is not a good reason to eat unhealthy but that is what happens. Then we camp and I have a hard time…

Teresa - my boys are 24 yr, living away from home, just out of college looking for a job, and driving me crazy with worry. and then my younger 2 are 101/2 and 71/2 years. Driving me crazy with all the energy, hard to keep up with them. Needless to say, I didn't get good sleep last night, but what do you do? Easy thing to…

Fantastic job on the loss girls!! i'm really happy for you! Yarmiah, I can sooooo feel your eating yesterday! I've been doing that alot lately! I went to the foot dr. this morning. My ball ofmy foot has been hurting so bad. I was afraid that he was going to tell me that I had arthritis in that foot, (I already do int hte…

How did everyone's weekend go? What kind of exercise did everyone get in? Yesterday, I'll be honest, I didn't do a thing. Worked all day and came home and didn't do a thing. Today, we went to my nephew's graduation party. When I got home I went for a nice long walk. 4 miles about 70 minutes. Felt great because I haven't…

Good evening everyone, I also need to make some goals for July. Surviving day to day I guess would be a good start, seem to be having trouble with that. :ohwell: I did get a walk in today. 4 miles, first time in about a week that I was motivated enough to do a full 4. I've been cutting it back to 2 lately. But I worked up…

Joni, you are doing AWESOME!!! What a fantastic goal you met!! I am sooo proud of you, keep with it!

Good morning ladies!!!!! How is everyone today?? I'm doing much better. I didn't do a damn thing the last two days. NOTHING!!! Oh yea, went to a movie last night and ate a medium popcorn, by myself, and it was the unhealthy movie kind. But, oh well. TOM did come to visit, with a vengence, and still going strong. I think…

Morning everyone! Sounds like all is going well. Marie - thanks for the recipes, I'll have to give them a try, they sound delicious! Jenny - you continue to enjoy yourself! Glad you had a nice visit with your mom, makes everything that much nicer! Enjoy your evening tonight. Connie - good for you!!! What a fantastic…

You ladies are ROCKIN'!!! Look at everyone!! Andrea - you threw away icecream, YOU THREW IT AWAY!! totally awesome dude! Proud of you. And also a Happy Belated Birthday to you! Joni - thanks for clarifing that, I was worried that maybe I was being insulted, but not even close, I take "full of energy" as a compliment. And…

Hi everyone, went for a 4 mile walk on Sunday, yesterday nothing and bad food choices today. I see a pattern, no exercise means bad choices. I just finished a candy bar, haven't had one forever and to be honest it wasn't that great. But old habbits kick in and I ate the whole thing, even with it tasting bad. Shame on me!…

Happy Saturday everyone!! I went for a walk this morning, but the humidity was soooo high, I was having a hard time breathing, and I was sweating like a ??? so I cut it back to 45 minutes and didn't walk as fast but I got one in so that is good. Teresa - your still moving and that is awesome!!! You've got a great habit…

Springbride - less than a year!! That's so exciting!! You know, us women, we just do what needs to be done. After you have kids, your life shifts again, but you always find a balance. That's what makes us the special women that we are!! Jen - welcome. Thanks for new trainers right? That is awesome that your so close! And…

What do you mean I'm full of beans??? :happy: Hell, I don't know if hiding the scale is working, I know it's driving me NUTS!! But I haven't resorted to asking hubbing for it yet. I will be honest, I walked past one at work last week, and dumb me stepped on it. Middle of the day, full uniform, (which gives me about 9 or 10…

My thougts are with all your mothers. Mine is 73 and in very good health yet. But dementia does run in her family, 3 sisters so far, and I'm afraid it's a matter of time. I will keep you all in my prayers. I hate the ways bad carbs make me feel. Now if i have to many I get stomach aches and cramps like you wouldn't…

Kathy, I will definately be keeping your mom in my prayers! I hope all goes well. Teresa, fantastic on the walk. 2 hours seems so long, good job. Couple years ago, I had surgery on my right foot on my metatarsil (sp) bones. My big toe was too long.But I spent about 2 years unable to even walk without pain. So you can…

Morning everyone!! Tammy - ENJOY your own time! I know how important our kids are, and I'd hate to do without mine, but boy is a little alone time a great thing! Makes us appreciate them more. Have fun! Andrea - I love to be made to feel special, who doesn't! Glad you can find something you like and you are comfortable in.…

Not at ALL what I was expecting, but oh so perfect! Nicely said.

YEAH!!!!! I'm doing the happy dance!! See, we already have a good group! My name is Mary, 47, married, mother of 3 boys, and I really want to get out of the 200 and into the 1**, then I'll real evaluate and make my next mini goal. I DEFINATELY need you all!! Summers are so hard for me, the boys home eating all the time,…

YEAH!!!!! I'm doing the happy dance!! So what if there's only a couple of us. Maybe in July we'll find somemore. I DEFINATELY need you all!! Summers are so hard for me, the boys home eating all the time, camping and poor choices, hot weather and me hating heat and humidity.... I could go on and on and on........ Okay,…
