Thanks watchme!! I hope I am back for good too! My weight loss has not been going great, but I am hoping to change that! Awesome shirt and bargaining by the way! Although.....yesterday I went shopping at Ross and I bought a pair of swooshie pants for 99 cents!!!!

Thanks bootser! I have missed you too!

Thank you  scrletbgnias!

Hi girls! I am back! Sorry I have been away for so long! The end of the year was nuts for me!

I am back, and this year I am going to follow through completely! I am determined to make forward progress this year, and will not let myself slack off like last year! I see there are lots of new people, who I look forward to getting to know, and lots of you from the beginning of last year too, so congrats on holding on for so long!

I probably won't get to post often, but I will definitely try to get on here a minimum of once a week because you girls are so inspiring!

HI girls! That's right! It's me!

I am really sorry I haven't been keeping up. I can't get on this site at the computer at work anymore (what gives!), and usually I am to busy at home to get on too. :(

Just so you know, I do sometimes check in to see what is going on, though I usually don't have much time to reply. I have noticed the shout outs and thank you for them!!!

I am still kind of in the same boat. I lose 4-6 lbs, I gain it back, I lose 7-8 lbs I gain it back. It really is frustrating for me, but I know I can make forward progress and intend to do it!

I really do miss everyone and all the support here, so I will try to check back in more often...once a week or more instead of what feels like once a month!

Welcome to everyone new, and to everyone who is still doing so great at this, I am so so so very proud of you!

Thanks for the welcom back Bootser! And I love your new pic by the way!

Thanks Allydan! I am glad you are doing so well!

Hooray for the at home team! :) Thanks for letting me join!

hi girls,

sorry I have been away for so so so long! I do miss you girls!

Anyway, the reason for my absence is I am taking an intense course load this summer so I can graduate in December. So now I am taking astronomy, and a creative writing course. I honestly spend like 15 hours a week on my astronomy course alone! So all my free time has been on the computer trying to do astronomy homework instead of being able to catch up with you girls, which I totally intend to do by Wednesday!

I am doing ok though, down 3 pounds from what I gained so far. I really want to reach this exercise goal! Unfortunately, Dalma, I can only request that you add another 1.45 hours for me.

I will definitely be back by Wednesday to catch up!

Whooo hoo for all of us skinny girls!!!

add an hour for me please!

chelsea: HI and welcome! Good luck, and I am sure you will find the friends you are looking for here. These girls are awesome!

watchme: told you you can do it!!!!!!

so I love this challenge. Now when I am like, blah I don't feel like excercising, I would rather read, I go and excercise anyway because I don't want to lose. Obviously I am not doing as much as some of us, but I think I will be able to make my goal. Yay for challenges!

Anyway, all of you girls are talking about starbucks. Do any of you have a sheetz near you? I have just discovered the magic of sheetz lattes, made fresh (not one of those machines you push a button on) and I am so in love! Thank God there isn't a sheetz within a half hour of my house! As for Starbucks, I live in one of the very few areas that hasn't gone Starbucks crazy. The closest is an hour from me! Boo! But yay for less temptation!

thanks Bootser1! Run in the sunset for me! Yay for the last day of class!

where is everyone?

watchmeshine: If  you didn't have a busy job, you would have a busy something else. Trust me, I know. I work a typical 40 hour week, but I am always busy! Stay on the wagon though! It will just be more of a fun challenge that way! Happy Vibes!

Liza413: Hi, and welcome to our group! Way to go on the 21 minutes so far! You can definitely do this! Good luck!

readytogo: Yay for doign 3.5 miles! That is soooooo awesome! I notice that some of my big friends and family have similar opinions of thats too much or whatever. Not everyone is willing to make the commitment, so they don't want to see that it's possible to do with a lot of hard work. They just want to be upset about it, but make positive changes. We work together as a group becuase we are all past the stage of just letting it bother us. We are kicking it's butt!

dalma: I also agree with you. I know when my friends were losing weight and I wasn't, I didn't want to hear it either. I was at a stage where I wanted to complain about being overweight, but I wasn't ready or willing to commit to change. Now I see change is really a big commitment, but I think I am ready for it!

sweepie: I am glad you found some one who won't charge an arm and a leg to fix your ac!

I just want to thank everyone also for your thoughts for my brother. He is doing ok. It was just so weird, you know? Anyway, they narrowed it down to an infection in his stomach. It's hard to explain, but he is going to be fine. Just on antibiotics for a while. So thank you again girls for the support!

anyway Yessica, I checked out your pics, and you can really see how far you have come and you look great!

dalma: Thanks for being the excercise hours counter! You rock!

welcome to all the new girls! I am glad you found us! :)

thanks everyone! Bootser, you are right, this month, we are going to own it!!!!

I have been trying to read and catch up, but I just can't concentrate. My brother is in the hospital because he is bleeding from his belly button. He doesn't have a cut there, so it's really weird. he is going for a cat scan now, and he might need surgery. They have no idea what's causing it. I am so worried. The only good thing is so far I am not emotional eating. I will catch up once I can better concentrate!

Wow, I am sooo behind. I am sorry!

Before I even try to catch up, I have a confession to make.

I have been staying away from this forum for the last week because I have been terrible. I have been ashamed to show my "face" on this forum, because I really really have been doing so bad. It started on May 16th, when my husband made me an early birthday dinner, ranch chicken, mashed potatoes, corn, and supremely good chocolate cupcakes in icecream cones with dream whip frosting. Now you girls are going that's not to bad. Well, that just started a montage of bad eating for me. Seriously, I have had cake or something everyday for the last two weeks. I am so ashamed of myself. Apparently, I can talk the talk, but I can't walk the walk. I am going to admit to you girls, even though I am beyond ashamed to admit it that when I weighed myself this morning I was 265...two pounds higher than I was in January when I started this! I know it's my faulty too, I am not looking to blame anyone, I just  thought I was sooo done with this reckless eating. I mean, I know some of it (maybe two-four pounds) has to be water weight because I have had a lot of salt intake and not alot of water intake but still! I am soo disappointed in myself! I can't believe I just completely lost control like that. I am not looking for sympathy, because I know this is hard for all of us, yet you girls are pulling through. I just wanted to be honest with myself, and also with all of you. And maybe none of you believe me, and maybe I shouldn't even believe myself but starting right now, I am really going to commit myself to this 100%. I think part of me always thought this would be an easy change as long as I knew I wanted to do it. I guess if it were easy, I would have done it already. Please don't let me get off track girls. I really need to do this!
