  • Welcome Kathy, how are things with you? I try to check in everyday, and reply to most posts. A few of us will keep it going and hopefully get this group revitalized. So friend me if you like, and lets get to know each other better. :flowerforyou: dj
  • Hi Jan, Wow good luck with the ambition of the 5k, when will that come up? I made myself walk, probably dropped a pound in water weight, but I am rehydrating as I speak. I want to thank you so much for keeping in touch with me, it really is helping me to know that I am not alone and have a friend to share things with!!!…
  • :smile: :happy: Back to even...So happy...lost the weight I gained after being sick, all better now. Ordered my elliptical today...will get it by the 25th.Meanwhile, I'm going to make some homemade energy bars this morning, made with quick oatmeal, nuts and fruit. I so want to go walking this morning...it is 6:00 a.m., 75*…
  • Hi Jan...I personally am a roller coaster of up and down emotions. Right now, since I am looking forward to getting an elliptical soon, I am all...yea!, I can do this, this is a forever life style change...Unfortunately, I know myself, and when the time rolls around, I will be all down on myself and; why doesn't the scale…
  • Hi Della, are you still around? I just found this reply today...strange how I can look at something everyday and not see it. Hope you are doing well and we would love to have you join our group(s), always looking for more friends so look me up anytime. Have a great day!
  • Hey Jan, Awesome sauce having a seashell collection...my collection has withered down to nothing what with giving one away here and selling a few of the nicer ones...but hopefully in Sept. I can get back there and start collecting anew. Yummy, I could live on seafood forever. I love it all. What's not to love about…
  • Hi LIZ, Welcome, I will be hoping that you get some benefit from the artic blast, it will not make it to south Texas so I will be putting the soon to be mine elliptical in my house, therefore no excuses not to use it and use it often. I hope that you are able to get some rest, and it is GREAT that you didn't add any pounds…
  • Hey Jan, Maybe we will get others interested if we keep up the conversing. That is too cool, you living between one of the neater cities and the coast. Things are very expensive there, I know from my daughter living in New Jersey for years, and now lives in Vermont, when I went to visit from Texas I was shocked at what…
  • @Jangar....AHHHHHH. How can you not go to the beach?! Oh how I would love that...I could walk for miles and miles and miles...if I only had a beach to do it on. When I was born in Corpus Christi I was moved away still an infant...boo hoo. When I decided to move back, on my own, I was too busy working...too tired after work…
  • Well I am sitting here this morning looking forward to getting an elliptical hopefully by the 1st of August. It is just too hot down here in South Texas in the summer months for me to walk outside. I live in the sticks and have no affordable gym option to go to, even if I had the transportation to go. Meanwhile, I sit...I…
  • Hey Sweetie, I am 5' 4" too, I am big boned also, the least I can ever weigh is around 125, or I look like a p.o.w. You do need to learn to talk about it all, not just the battle of the bulge, but the things bothering you behind that. Youth can teach the old ones too, and I look forward to sharing your path to a happier,…
  • Hey sweetie, I am old enough to be your grandma but your post touched my heart. You are so young, how tall are you? How much weight are you wanting to lose? I know about bingeing and it is a monster to deal with daily and control. I hope you get all of the support you need, and if you need to talk to someone, you can talk…
  • Hi Jan, I was really just venting, my last hurrah before I knuckle down and get back to what I should be doing. I so know that once I get back into routine that I will feel better, and be motivated to do more and stick with it. I personally need to start communicating more with the peeps on this site, you don't know how…
  • WOW, so proud of you TSKVaughan. It is great that your daughter is doing this with you. I too have a very bad back and have to be careful what exercising I do. But I think if everyone could get someone to partner up with that we could all do better. Me I am sick and tired of being a loner but have made no moves to change…
  • Hey Liz, Sorry I am just getting around to answering this. I also live in the sticks and have no realistic place to go and exercise when the weather is too hot, wet and or cold. I am saving up for an elliptical so I can use it anytime, should be able to get it next month. Meanwhile it is the depression (again) that I am…
  • "To My Own Self Be True"... I ultimately am doing this lifestyle change for me, to be a better me, and after that to help others by encouragement to be true to themselves!:smile:
  • Hey girl, your so young, but I would not mind being your friend and helping you to stay motivated, if you don't mind chatting with an older woman. I just started on this site last month, and I am pumped up because I just lost a little more weight, makes me want to keep it up, I walk everyday...no rainy days yet down here…
  • I am also seeking friends to help keep motivation alive, and encouragement on a regular basis is definitely my forte'. Please feel free to friend me also, as I am new to the site and do not have any friends yet.:flowerforyou:
