Hoping my book gets here on Monday! It's time for a change.

Hi ladies! JulieGo I am getting there. Today is the 1 year anniversary of my husband's death. With fighting cancer for 3 1/2 years, this was a very bittersweet moment. I didn't want to lose him, but I didn't want him to be in pain and not be able to live life. And he hadn't really been living life for 6 months or so. I had…

Jog FM is an awesome website/app that will give you playists for Running, walking and just about any workout routine. I put in there how fast I want to run my mile and it gave me a ton of songs that would keep me on pace. Now I am set for my 5K tomorrow morning!

My you girls have been busy while I have been away. I didn't completely fall off the wagon but I did fall off the tracking in MFP for quite some time. During this time however, I have started the Online Trainer program and am loving it. I am down a few pounds, a few inches and a few % body fat. I will post this Thursday…

Thanks for the tip. That will make it quicker to find.

Hello Group! Wow it has been a long time since I have checked into our message board. I wish there was a way to get a message when someone posts here. Hope everyone is doing well. My boys have been very busy in baseball this spring and summer. We have been running for 2-3 games a week. I have also gotten a few things done…

gtmcuzz....I don't have any words to say that will help so I am going to just say a prayer. I will add you and you family to my prayer journal. I pray to give you the strength that you need and that you will fine a place to live. God's blessings and peace to you and your family.

Welcome Jeannie, I am very sorry for your loss. Our stories are very similar. I lost my husband (he was 40) last September. I have two boys (10 & 5). Please feel free to add me as a friend and/or message me anytime. All other Ladies - hope you all are doing well. It has been crazy getting to the end of the school year with…

My friend and I both switched from WW online over to MFP. We love that it is free. I love that I have found just about every food imaginable on here. Also the amount of information in the Message boards is over whelming but no matter what you are feeling or thinking, there is probably another member out there thinking it…

You can do it! A minute on the lips, forever on the hips!! Happy Teach Appreciation Week!

Hi Ladies, I am just having a yucky day. Kinda feeling sorry for myself. Started some therapy on my elbow this week. They figure I have tennitis (sp) or golfer's elbow. I haven't golfed for several years so not exactly sure why but hopefully with some ultrasound and therapy I can get it straigtened out. My anniversary was…

Thank you quilteryoyo! Way better than I thought. My scale showed me up 2 lbs. My jeans feel tight around my calves so I am thinking there is some water weight there. That was one thing I had started to notice before I left for vacation was that my jeans were fitting better on my legs.

Hello Ladies, I have been offline for a few days. A couple of my girlfriends/co-workers and I went to Cancun. We flew out Thursday morning and came back last night. We did an all-inclusive stay and only ventured off the resort for part of a day to visit a flea market. We spent lots of time at the pool, at the beach,…

The pattern for the Teddy Bears is Simplicity 5461. These have been a God-send for my boys and I.

Welcome gtmcuzz! I am sorry you are finding us under these circumstances. I cannot imagine what you are going through. My husband was told in April of 2010 that he could not be cured of his cancer. We were able to keep him for another year and a half. While watching him slowing weaken was not easy, we did have time to talk…

Happy Friday Girls! Hopefully it has not been a Scary Friday the 13th! I have a busy weenend with my son in a 3-on-3 basketball tournament in the morning. I need to do some laundry and clean my house in the afternoon. Sunday I have someone that bought my King size bed coming to get it. Yeah! Have a Queen bed just waiting…

Hello Everyone! Hope you all had a great Easter. I was blessed to spend it with my parents and brother and sister and their families. I have probably been a little hasty in getting rid of some of my husband's clothes, but it has helped me. I had each of my boys pick out a shirt that they remember their dad in and my…

Hello Ladies, I don't know if I will fit in or not but I am a Widow. I am 34 years old with 2 sons (9 & 5). I lost my husband of 13 years last September to a 3 1/2 year batte with Liposarcoma cancer. I have known that I need to lose some weight for several years. It just seems to have kept creeping up on me. Dr appointment…
