Powerwalking A Half Marathon
I started out the summer by walking 5-8 miles 3 or 4 days a week, with the goal of getting to10 miles by the end of summer. I logged10.5 miles this past Saturday, and a friend mentioned I was "dangerously close" to a half marathon. Dangerous is right! :# Got me to thinking...maybe that should be my next goal?? I've found…

Am I just too....
Set in my ways?? Picky? I'm 47 and I've never been married. I've been engaged 2 times and called off both for truly legitimate reasons. I have a 24 year old daughter that comes home sometimes on the weekends, but for the most part it's just me at home alone. I started dating someone about a month and a half ago. I can't…

Do you have that one number??
You know what it is... That one number on the scale that seems to thump you on the head and subconsciously causes you to start sabataging your eating / diet plan everytime... That one number that your mind won't let you get below... I'm 1.8 pounds away from that "number"!! Hoping something's changed in my mindset to keep…

Hello from a Slacker!
My name is Kristen. I was diagnosed with T2 a little over a year ago. When I was first diagnosed, I closely monitored my readings and joined this website to track my food and calorie count. I lost almost 40 pounds and my readings dropped to around 100. Since then, I've stopped tracking everything (food & readings) and I've…

Nesting?
Any empty nesters out there? My 22 year old daughter moved into her own apartment this past weekend along with her cat. It's always just been her and I (single parent) in the house...so this is quite a transition for me. I was telling a co-worker that last night I went home and did 3 hours of yard work, and this morning…

Is that the beer talking??
A guy I've been seeing and I went out Saturday night to listen to my friend's band and drink a few beers. Since I drove he had a few more and was feeling pretty good...not stumbling over-the-top drunk, but he was feeling pretty good. For the first time since we've started seeing each other, he opened up a little bit, and…

Only one more week!!!
I'm doing a community weight loss challenge (with 250 other people). So far I've managed to stay in first place. Next Sunday is our last weigh in, and I've been on a 2-week stall. I haven't changed a thing...counting all of my calories and exercising 6 days/week. The second place winner was 0.9% behind me as of last…

I can't take the silence!
Turned on my computer at work this morning and Pandora radio has been blocked...I can't access it. They've blocked all music websites. Uggghhh!! The silence is killing me. Maybe if I start singing really loud they will reconsider! :wink: Seems like the makings for a new Footloose movie! Thanks for letting me vent!

Internet Dating Websites...DONE!
So I met a man through a dating website about a month ago and thought everything was going great. We really seemed to hit it off...great chemisty and I really enjoyed spending time with him. About a week after we first met I noticed his account was no longer active on the site and I asked him why. He said that he was tired…

Weight Loss Challenge w/Type 2 Diab.
Hi all! Last year I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes...totally floored me, but when I stopped to think about it it shouldn't have.
