You look great! And your little one is so cute!

Those are awesome NSV's! Congrats on the loss!

O_O I'm just happy today and tomorrow are paydays. Buying the plane tickets go see my mom wiped out my bank account. Traveling expenses are ridiculous!

I want to walk today. Haven't been able to at work for a couple of days due to meetings and being generally busy playing catch up/

Every journey starts with but a step. 5 pounds is a big deal and congratulations to you on losing it. Just make sure you gave them the wrong directions home so someone else can take them in and love on them. :laugh: :flowerforyou: My best friend and I are also trying to lose at least 100 pounds by Mid-November next year.…

Thank you!

I've always explained bisexuality this way, some people only like chocolate ice cream and some only like vanilla. I, however, will take either flavor because they are both delicious and have their perks.

When I heard the movies were coming out, I made sure to read the books first. My dad has original copies in his collection. I fell in love with the series.

Welcome to the group! Your story sounds similar to my own, and is probably similar to everyone here. My pregnancy with my daughter shot me up higher than I'd ever weighed, but I didn't change anything... until now.

I grew up with a Trekkie dad and a mom who loved Stars Wars. I watched Stargate SG-1 religiously for all ten seasons, along with most of Atlantis and some of Universe. My favorite Doctor was David Tennant. As for reading, I grew up loving Anne McCaffrey and her Dragonriders of Pern as well as her Rowan series. I followed…

You're welcome! :D I had fun putting it together.

One thing that works for me: Out of sight, out of mind. If I can't see it, then I don't think about it. The opposite also holds true, if I have something on hand, I am more likely to use it.. like my water cup.

Awesome! Great daily goals. Today I will... take my afternoon walk and ramp up the time enjoy the massage I am getting after work (Physical Therapist recommended it.. and who am I to disagree... :wink: drink 32 oz of water before noon (and the full 8 before 9 pm)

I loved it! After my fiance gives it back to me, I'll reread it.

Breakfast? um.. does a half cup of milk on the way out the door count? I usually eat a banana or an apple and have a cup of coffee, mainly because I am not hungry in the mornings.

I just finished Inheritance, Book 4 of the Inheritance Cycle by Paolini. Getting ready to reread the Kushiel series from Jacqueline Carey.

You look great!

Thanks! The 11 pounds I've lost so far have done wonders for my knees so I'm hopeful that once more weight comes off I'll be able to be more active. I've been doing isometrics in place of crunches for now. I would love to become a runner sometime down the line. My mom used to be in a running club called the Hash Hound…

Fuji! They are soo good! Granny smith and Washington Reds are good too

Hello! I'm Shanna. I adore vampire / werewolf / paranormal / fantasy stories. C.L. Wilson came out with a great series. I also read Yasmine Galenorn, Sherrilyn Kenyon (one of my utmost favorites), J.R. Ward (Black Dagger Brotherhood), and Christine Feehan.

what about this?

I'll help admin. I've been a forum administrator and a chat admin before. Plus I need to lose about 120-140 lbs. :D

I live on the Eastern Shore, so a little far to go work out with.. but I'll cheer you on!

Hi, I'm Shanna (Shaw-Na) from Easton, MD on the Eastern Shore. I'm a single mom of a rambunctious three year old girl and I am engaged to be married to a wonderful man in May of 2013. I'm looking to lose about 100+ pounds and I've lost just about 11 so far in 3 weeks. I walk while at work. We have a course that is 1.5…

When I lifted, I used gloves. They do help with grip and with keeping your palms relatively in one piece. I knew other people who never did use them, so it's more of a personal choice.

I need a belt now for my work pants. Not much of an NSV, but a good milestone for me. :D

photos won't work :(

Yay! That is an awesome NSV. Congrats... and I hope you can post a pic so we can cheer for you some more. Great job so far!
