139.4 ........ down 0.6 ......... coulda done better but for my mom's chicken dumplins on Sunday (two helpings!) My mom is my sabateur (not on purpose) because she is such a great cook, and we all go over there for Sunday lunch almost every week.

I was hoping that my only resolution would be to maintain and continue my new healthier lifestyle. And it is that, but I must also add to it that I still need to lose about five more pounds to reach my goal. But that is sooooooo do-able! Happy New Year to everyone!

Here I am, after being AWOL for a couple of months. Had to readjust my ticker today. Nov 3rd I was at 137.6; today I am at 140 even. Back in the saddle as they say and ready to report in every Tuesday. 140.00

Hey, I'm back after a couple months 'haitus' Thanks for inviting me in Andre. Started on here last May, turned 50 last June. Lost 28 pounds before my son's wedding in Sept. That put me within about 5 to 6 pounds of my ultimate goal which I was creeping even closer to until ..... The holidays came ......... actually I've…

A day late, but finally down another 1.5. Still hoping for another 3.5 by Thanksgiving (so I'll have a little leeway for the holiday). But my mom has started making some of my favorite 'treats' so it will be hard. (I'm eating them in moderation though, not scarfing down the entire bucketful in one sitting!)

I missed checking in last week. I'm still holding steady.

I only ever competed locally, but our competitions were set up in the woods also. It would've been a pretty good hike if going straight through without stopping at each target. I do still have my bow though I haven't used it in many many years.

The main thing is to remind her this is a long-term thing. If she can lose 1/2 to 1 pound a week over the long haul it will all add up. I was discouraged the weeks I lost under a 1/2 pound but suddenly (well not so suddenly) here I am at 27 pounds lost (and only five more to go!) She doesnt have to do the gym thing, but…

I've lost 27 pounds since mid-May. No pics yet though. She can do it. It's tough, but do-able. (I'm 50).

I was beginning to think ironband and I were the only two left. Great week Andy! I used to be really into archery for many years, but we dont really have any local clubs any more. I need to gather up a few friends who used to be in our group and start a new one. It's great fun!

Although not in the best way.…

When I got dressed for work this morning, I actually liked the way I looked. That's been a long time coming. :bigsmile:

Still hanging steady (actually up .2) - still 7 pounds from goal. But with all that's going on lately at least I'm not gaining. BoyChild's wedding is this weekend, then I hope life (and food and excercise) will fall back into routine and I'll get those last 7 off. 7/5/11 ........ 154.2 7/12/11 .......153.0…

Back on track this week.

I am on the second book of this series by Joanne Fluke. I like it so far. Mystery / detective, but not of the intensity of James Patterson et al. http://www.murdershebaked.com/ (for some unknown reason they are listed in reverse order on this site)

My brother says if it can't substitute as syrup for your pancakes, it is not sweet enough. :bigsmile:

I answer with something simple (and true) like "basically, just not going back for second, and third, helpings; and execising a little more". Then if they *really* want to know more they will ask.

Army (National Guard) Mom here too. :smile:

Yes, I do love me some CK! Drool ....... :love:

But considering this is only my second 'gain' in three months, I'll take it and move on and work a little harder this week. :blushing:

Yep. I'm dead serious too. And yes, I looked at his pics, and yes he's cute, but I stand by my original statement ..... Looking good in a speedo and cowboy hat is not possible. Sorry. :frown:

Yeah, this is where height makes a big difference. At 168 (and 5'5") I was wearing tight 12's, and a few 14's. Now at 148 I am wearing 10's but most of them are still snug.

Looking good in a speedo and cowboy hat is not possible. Sorry. :frown:

Actually most of the time there is at least some recourse for serious issues. Counties and cities both usually have guidelines / ordinances that prohibit abandoned cars, grass so high it is a health hazard (haven for rodents). swimming pools that become mosquito infested, etc.

Me too. I'd gladly have a longer commute just to avoid it.
