I'm 39 never had kids and this past June I decided I was giving up on logging and exercising, because I was gaining not losing. It made me so depressed that I decided that I needed to go to the doctor to see what was going on. I brought in my food/exercise logs and showed her just so she had as much information as…

I was a worker and then a manager at a Taco Bell. I have to tell ya I worked with the stoners, high school drop outs, college students and some folks who just needed a 2nd job to help make ends meet. I worked mornings some, but I was usually the night shift crew/manager. There was only one time out of 5 years I worked…

Thanks to all for the condolences. My husband & I made a short trip to Branson, MO to get away from everything for a few days. Came back knowing I probably gained, but to my utter amazement I'd lost!! I'm under 200 now...198.9. Being under 200 was one of my goals, so I'm super excited!! Now I get a manicure and pedicure by…

Monday Week 12 Day 1 Exercises - yes Water - 8 glasses Under calories - yes Evening walk - 1 mile Sorry I missed all of last week. My M-I-L passed away on Tuesday. She was a fiesty, fun and family oriented lady. Alzheimer's is a terrible disease. We had a celebration of her life and feel very blessed that she was apart of…

Sorry I've been MIA. May was a hectic month and June is starting out just the same. My M-I-L broke her hip, so my husband and I were away from home for another few days and I just wasn't prepared. So I needless to say I didn't get my exercises or eat very well. I'm hoping for a better week. Hope you all have a great new…

Hey Quietlywinning. I'm here. I just can't seem to get on here, but I do log into the spread sheet. I skipped exercising yesterday to take my Dad to put flowers on the graves of our loved ones. I know it's becoming a lost tradition, but I have grown up doing this every Memorial Day weekend. It's nice to hear stories about…

Wow! Great job. Congratulations!!!

Good morning! My m-i-l was released yesterday and is now in a brand new Alzheimer's care facility. She is still very weak, but she is getting better. Thanks for all the encouraging words and prayers. God is great and listened to our prayers. I didn't log Thursday through Saturday. Totally my fault just didn't want to deal…

Sorry to not post for so long. My husband's mom was put in the hospital on Mother's Day and it's been kinda crazy and sad. She has Alzheimer's and is so scared and isn't able to tell us where she hurts and what she really feels like. Just like a little kid who doesn't know that the doctors and nurses are trying to help you…

I was living in Florida when I met this man while he was on vacation. Two months after meeting him I moved in with him. Married him a year and a half after that and I'll be celebrating my 12 year anniversary in July. I will tell you that it was VERY HARD to just move in with him and we had a lot of disagreements about…

Sorry I didn't post on this page yesterday. I did put my numbers down on the spreadsheet. I really didn't feel like doing my exercises today. I was just so tired and feeling blah.

Amazing_Grace, sorry to hear you're feeling unwell. Hope you get to feeling better soon.

So you've probably noticed that I haven't written anything on the board this week. Well, that is because this silly girl was posting on the Challengers board. I don't know how I did it, but I posted a few times then I started looking around and didn't see you all. So I didn't post for a day then I looked and it said Week 3…

I will be doing a lot of walking today and tomorrow to make up for evening walk challenge that I haven't done this week. Having company throws me off. Not that I don't like it, I just need to…
