What a success story. You could be me if you were female. Same issues, same excuses, same age etc. I too am a work in progress and not quite as successful as you are, but I am getting there. Thanks for sharing, this gives me the motivation and kick in the butt I need to keep going. You are an inspiration to us all.

Seriously, I do not have an athletic body (yet) but I work hard to get in shape. I spend a lot of time in the gym, out walking and riding around the neighbourhood etc. I am not where you are (yet) so no one has said that to me, but when that time comes, I now have a great response. thanks

That is quite a transformation, keep going. You are doing awesome.

Bump, lots of good recipes here.

Hey everyone, I am still around but not sure what is going on with me. I have been reading posts, but not really commenting. I have not been eating very well either. I do get in lots of exercise so am burning a lot of calories, but my weight is going in the wrong direction. I just do not seem to have the will power right…

I am proud to be a "Hoser", Canadian eh? I also love "Goofy Americans", not so sure about those "Arrogant ones" I even love those Brits and Aussies that are on here. But then again, we Canadians pretty much love everyone.

Woo Hoo, great choice Amanda, what a wonderful NSV.

Hey everyone, I am back, sort of. I have been on vacation since the 3rd of January and was not doing too badly, until I went to an all inclusive resort in the Dominican Republic. I ate, ate, drank, ate some more and drank some more. I put 7 pounds on in one week. I can not believe I let myself fall back into those bad…

Hello everyone, I was originally one of the Skinny Chicks and did very well losing weight. I loved the comraderie of that group and lost 99 pounds. I fell off the wagon in the middle of November and put about 20 pounds back on. I need to belong again. My name is Carla and I am a retired Elementary School teacher and…

Well, here it is the end of 2012 and the beginning of 2013. I am so happy that a few of us stuck this out. I was able to reach and surpass my goal of 400,000 purposeful calories for the year. Total for the year was 439,224. I hope you all did as well as you had originally planned. So far in 2012 (January to end of…

I would love to get in if there is still room.

Let's finish huge. Only 11 days to go. So far in 2012 (January to end of November): 412, 905 December 1 and 2: 1390 December 3 - 9: 6597 December 10 - 16: 8272 December 17 - 23: December 24 - 30: December 31: Grand total for 2012: [/quote]

Glad to hear you are feeling better, being sick is really tough. And we are finished, Yayyyyy. Thanks Penny and Jane for leading us Festive Phitbits around the world.

Whoa, look at us go. We are in New Guinea and in the lead. Yayyyy, Phitbits! Now if only the scale would move like that only in the other directions. :grumble:

Thanks for starting the December thread. I have been extremely busy and did not get a chance. I can not believe the year is almost over. Here we go for our last month. Let's finish huge. So far in 2012 (January to end of November): 412, 905 December 1 and 2: 1390 December 3 - 9: 6597 December 10 - 16: December 17 - 23:…

So my goal for November is to burn at least 1,000 calories per day. If I do that I will burn at least 30,000 calories this month and again next. I hope to reach 425,000 but will be thrilled to hit the 400,000. How about the rest of you? :wink: November 1 - 4: 2901 November 5 - 11: 9081 November 12 - 18: 8864 November 19 -…

I have been hit and miss the last week or so, but need to get back on track. I am rapidly putting the pounds back on. Can not…

Congratulations to those of you who have been losing and working hard. Way to go.

I didn't realize how tough it would be getting so close to Christmas and all. Will try to get a walk in later today, but did do some strength and elliptical. Hopefully a quick bike ride later tonight as well, but we will see. You all look like you are getting in lots of work. Keep it all.

Glad to see you back Charlottina. I have set my goal for 50 miles this week.

Hey all, can't add either. Today's burn is 1309. Carla

Hello everyone. I am Carla (carhicks). I am a 55 (yes, I just had that birthday) year old retired elementary school principal. I love to work out and now have the time to do it. I swim, ride bike, walk, use the elliptical, do zumba, strength training, circuit and aquafit. I try to mix it up and use various muscle groups. I…

We all have those days where we lose track of what we want to do. Realizing this is the first step to changing. I am confident you will find that focus.

That is awesome. You are doing great. Way to set a goal for yourself and see it through.

I too hope Chartottina is feeling better soon. Challenge sounds good. Let's get moving everyone.

Not slow, steady. That is the best way to go so you keep it off. Any loss is a good one. Congratulations.

Congratulations, that is awesome, Keep it up and you will reach goal in no time. Carla

This is a quote that I love because I had to apply it to my own life when it came to my lifestyle. "The definition of stupidity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." Albert Einstein I know I am not a stupid person, therefore, I needed to and have changed my actions. I take care of…
