Do you have any mini-goals?
My hubby and I invested in a physician's scale. You know the kind that you stand on and move the weights until it balances. Since we received it I've had to start the big weight at the 250 mark and I'm finally at the point where soon I'll be able to move it "only" to the 200 mark as a beginning point. Say what you will but…

Happy Sunday Peeps!
I finally made it to the next decade!!! Whoot! And in case we've forgotten, the decades are the 10 pound increments on the scales so this means I've moved down from one decade to the next lower one. Ya! Ya! Doing the happy dance!! *note that the pessimist in me is noting that this "decade" is still a HUGE number and that…

The summer is quickly disappearing and the healthy part of me will be sad to see it go. These past couple months of freedom have given me the opportunity to really focus on me and the things I need to do to regain the body and spirit I possessed not that long ago. With school (job and another grad class) beginning in 2…

Robin Williams - RIP
I just heard the news about Robin Williams' death and it hit me as personal.. not just another movie star or famous person dying. I've loved him since I first saw him in Happy Days and then Mork and Mindy. He was a superb comedian who could keep me laughing uncontrollably and also a serious actor who could bring me to…

How's everybody doing today? With only 3 weeks left before school starts again I really want to kick in a boost of exercise and hopefully weight loss. I'd love to walk into my classroom and have my past students (who I'll have again for different subjects) notice and comment on how I've changed this summer. Cause let's…

Hello to members!
I see we've had several new folks join the group so I wanted to say hello and invite you each to join in on the conversations or start new ones whenever you want. We're basically just a half dozen or so ladies who started talking to one another here for maybe a month now so you don't need to think you won't fit in to the…

Wed Aug 6
Good morning!! I was just catching up on all the past threads and loving what I read from everybody. It really does help when you have a support group. Two questions today as I sit and wait for Lowes to deliver my new oven.. lol 1. Are we all still good with posting a new daily topic? 2. How often do you weigh-in? Daily?…

Tuesday Aug 5
Happy day to all! I have a question to pose.. a little gross but we're all over 50 so I think we'll all understand it. When you're dieting or at least cutting out parts of your food intake that used to be there, do you do anything special to regulate your insides? In other words how do you keep from becoming constipated? I…

Monday Aug 4
This morning I decided to add my measurements to the check-in page. Just the neck, waist, and hips for now. I won't check them regularly like I do my weight but on those days when the scales seem stuck in molasses it will be nice to have another measurement to show that I'm making progress. Has anyone else done the…

Aug 3 (Sunday)
Hope everyone has been doing well this past week. I'm back at home after a great mini-vacation to Florida. My 17 year old step-daughter has been staying with us for the past month and left this morning for home in Arkansas so now it's time to get the house back to zero child status which basically means the front bedroom…

Names and Places
I know we can check each others' profiles but how about a quick place to see where we're all from and what we'd prefer to be called in group? Add any other tidbit you'd like as well! I'm Sandy and I live in a tiny (500 people) town in north Louisiana. High School teacher. Grad student. 18 year old son (love of my life)…

July 25 Happy Friday!
Hello to all! I started the day with no weight change.. which sounds so much better than "didn't lose anything".. lol It's a little disappointing, of course, but not entirely unexpected. I've had a half to three quarter pound loss for the past 5 days so I knew my body was going to want to settle and smooth out soon. No…

Odds or Evens (just for fun)
When I weigh myself I always feel like the even numbered results are a bit better than the odd ones... it's kind of like when I was a little kid I thought kitties were the girls and doggies were the boys... makes no logical sense but appeals to my aesthetic view of the world.. lol What about you? Odds? Evens? Other silly…

July 23
Starting today's thread... Didn't exercise last night because my right knee has had a few sharp pains going thru it the past 2 days. I decided a day of rest was a good idea. It's feeling pretty good now so with any luck i'll be able to hit that WATP video again tonight. Went to the grocery store with my 17 year old step…

Every Pound Is a Huge Difference
Never think that only losing a pound or two is insignificant. I know that I need to lose 100 more pounds but the fact that I've already lost nearly 30 is huge... especially when I think of this picture. How many of these have left your body so far? :happy: sandy
