Ok, my advice is to take the microbiology course. I am an RN and I assure you that you do not want to be taking micro when you are taking the core nursing classes. Even if you are not full time some lending companies will put you in a "part-time deferment" where you pay interest on the loan but not the whole required…

Unfortunately we will have moments that will make us want to curl up into a ball and cry. It is important to try to eat even during these times. Small healthy snacks or portions of food will do. Don't throw everything you have learned here out the door and become an emotional eater. I am so sorry for your loss. My only…

May, 1hr and 30 min is great! Keep up hard work.

I looked at what your BMI would be. At 5'6" and 132 pounds, you would be in the middle of the range. When you get to that weight see how you feel. Like Anna Banana is doing - put on muscle. I think we all forget that we should never compare ourselves to others. At work when they measure for frame size they measure the…

Familiygirl - prayers are being sent your way. This is the time of year when we all get busy and forget to eat right or have illnesses interrupting our work out routines. We can do this. Remember to set your daily goal for activity. It doesn't have to be anything big and bad. It can be something as simple as doing jumping…

Here I am! I think we all have been busy. I am hoping the weigh in is a great one this week as well. Blue sure has been quiet lately. I am going for my masters degree and so I have been furiously trying to make deadlines. Which means spending lots of time sitting. Although, I have started a running program. Today was the…

Still here, just busy. I am amazed at all the hard work everyone has been doing. This has been a great challenge.

Hey mufasa, Check out Jillians web site. Her site analyses what your food cravings are and then tells you what type of foods to eat. I didn't subscribe to the site but I filled out the questionaire and was pleasantly surprised with the initial advise.

Ok, with all you "runners" out there be kind but this jogger just did 2 miles continuously without stopping or dying for the first time ever. Strange, but I kind of like it.:tongue:

Connie, my heart goes out to you right now. Having the household sick is rough. We didn't go out last night because of freezing rain making the roads bad. So I had a turkey burger for supper. Not exactly the same as fine dinning but at least I didn't go over calories. Did anyone catch BL last night? Vicky has got to go.

Mango, Sometimes people think they are being supportive and don't know that what they are saying hurts. After reading your statement I really think you should be patting yourself on the back. You have been working out for 2 years. For 2 years you have been concentrating on doing what is best for you. Congratulations on…

Week 2 day 2 10, 12, 9, 9, and 13 - getting there slowly but hey I'm getting there. Have a great day everyone.

Glad to hear you are home and healing well. Continued prayers sent your way.

Thank you chrissyh and zaza54 for the support. Just put in 30 minutes on the bike and plan to work a little more.

Hi alll, I didn't see a posting for this week so I thought I would start one. Today is my lucky 13th wedding anniversary:drinker: We plan on going out to eat tonight which will be interesting because I haven't had to think about calorie counting at a nice restaurant since starting BWL. If anyone has any helpful hints I…

Congrats!!! Keep us posted on your progress.

Hey all, My son had a birthday party today so I have a house full of 6 & 7 yr olds. That has to count for some calorie burning?!?Hope everyone's weekend is great.

Hey Connie, It is terrible when little ones are sick. The only nice thing that happens is they slow down long enough to be cuddled. Hope yours gets better quickly. Gina

Hey all, Something must be going around because I had to pick up my 12 year old from school yesterday and today she is home sick again. At least with her being 12, I can still get out and exercise. I went for a jog this afternoon and I got a mile from the house and it started to rain. :smile: I think I need to get a…

Canelitas - it is a blessing to just hear from you. Don't give up, it is amazing sometimes when you realize just how strong a person you are. Prayers are being said.

Rainbow, I feel like I have found a person who completely understands what I am going through. The first couple of weeks I lost consistently and now I'm stuck. Like you I have watched my calories, exercised and had what I thought was no results. I just measured this morning and there is a difference. Have you taken your…

Hello everyone, Lots of deadlines to meet this week so unfortunately I am sitting on the part that needs to move the most. :sad: We have unbelievable weather here for being Nov. so I took the whole family and went for a walk which was nice. My 12 yr old decided we needed to race uphill. :grumble: I can happily say I am…

:smile: Bump :smile:

Just sending great big hugs your way.

I forgot to check in yesterday. I was on week 1, day 3 level 2. I was so excited to do 10 push ups in a row and not die. It was incredible to do a total of 42 push ups and today I don't hurt. It is getting better. Welcome gmukris!

Hey Jules what were the flowers for? Whats your secret and how do I get some???

Yesterday we had a light flurry here and my youngest started to get ready to go sledding. I had to ask her to wait until there is snow on the ground and not just in the air. I hate it when the kids have a snow day!! I admire those that can home school but it wouldn't work for me. School is like my reward for raising them…

Connie, I was at that place last year and was so discouraged I quit exercising. I then gained 20 lbs.:sad: Keep doing what you are and like others have said, eventually you will see a difference. On another note, my weekend was good up until last night. I hit a deer. Oh, the story gets good. I called my husband and he…
