Hey Danielle, yes, my family insisted we buy a laptop to have on the trip so we can stay in touch - download pictures, etc. So, I'll definitely be checking in here every day for getting and giving support! It's on Ladies!
P.S, about the book....... We're going to start reading a book as a group called "As Seen on TV", by Sarah Mlynowski. I had trouble finding it so I ordered from half.com for .75 plus shipping. You may get lucky to find it locally! I hope you'll be able to join us.
And about Bob....... I ♥ Bob!!! Not only is he easy on the eyes, I find him motivating and truly caring to the people he trains. He really cares about what he's doing, I love that. And as for the heat...ugh! I am so ready for it to cool down! You do get used to it after awhile however, just would be nice to have normal temps like normal people! lol

Yay! Your family gets a gold star for good thinking!!! You will have to take some pics of your adventures, can't wait to hear the stories. You know on a trip like that there are bound to be stories!
Hi all.
I lost some momentum but I didn't slip up. However, I took my monthly pictures and got a bit discouraged. I can see the changes, the very slight changes, but I look so "puffy." I don't know, it's just getting to be too daunting, the amount I want to lose. I feel like I can't keep going...
Aw hon, I certainly know how you feel and understand the overwhelming task of losing "all that weight". Sweetheart you said it yourself on your pictures, you've got changes happening, especially in your face. I can SO tell big time!! You look mahhhvelous *said in my best Billy Crystal voice* dahling! I know that looking at the whole picture for me has been too much and I have had to really focus on baby steps. For right now I am only focusing on what I've challenged myself for Fall. 24 pounds, that's it. Also, going by how your clothes fit is a fantastic way to gauge your progress. You are doing it!! I think you look great. Chin up toots, keep shining it will all pay off in the end!
to alll you new ladies! We're so, so glad to have you!
I'm sorry I've only been in sporadically. Work was very busy. I'm about to run to Play It Again Sports for a treadmill. They have some used ones for $50 - 90. I want to look at them and see if I want one.
When I get home I'll have to get ready for bed. I'm going to work in production tomorrow morning from 6 - 8, then work my regular hours. I hope to be able to get to the personals then.
I would like to start off by given a big Hello to Cartersmama , Aliceshellique, AlaskanMelody. This is a great place to share and jest come togeather and it is a good place for Motivation. I hope that all of you will like it here.

You can conquer this trip then you can conquer anything!! Even those weightloss goals!!

Alright ladies I'm starving!! Time to get some dinner and back to the books!! Its been such a fantastic day!!! I'm very proud of myself!!
Hi Melissa, Thanks for the welcome! I'm glad to hear your Mom and Sister enjoy Alaska so much. We've never heard anybody say they didn't love it! What are you studying?
What kind of exercise does everybody do? I've seen mention of Turbo Jam...LOVE IT! I was doing really well with it a couple months ago...then we started packing and getting ready and it all went out the window. I was doing TAEBO when I lost all the weight last time. I REALLY enjoyed it. But, I think I kinda burned out on it. Turbo jam is basically the same thing with a little spicier music. lol I bought a Jillian Michaels DVD yesterday (because I was really stupid and packed all my other work out videos) and I can play it on the laptop so I plan to start that tomorrow morning. We'll see how it goes. I watched it today so I could see what to expect and it looks like a killer. Gotta start some time right?!
Well, Mom duty calls. Let's make the most of each day Ladies!
GOOD MORNING I hope eveeryone is having a good time .
Alaskan Melody I give you a big and congrats on doing Jillian I looked at the DVD and I could tell I was strong enough to do that. I love the Walk away the Pounds with Leslie Sanson. She is pretty good for me at least I usually do a few of her videos a day. She doesnt require a lot of room and does simple things and dont require alot of different steps. I seen on the weather today that it is cold in Alaska I hope you have alot of winter clothing. My Niece was Born in Alaska . I hear it is a beautiful place. I hope that your trip is a wonderful experience for the whole family. Take lots of pictures.
Mia I hope that your vacation is going great I seen all the excitment on the Dome on the news. Jest remember everyone needs a littla RR now and then.
Amanda Did you get a treadmill? I have one that I hardley use I would rather take a walk in the outdoors. But they can be good I need to start using mine. I need to find the book on it and see about a tune up on it.
Danielle I jest love BOB too. I think that he is the best .
Altari I know what you mean I do that all the time. You jest have to take it one day at a time. You didnt gain all this weight in one and and you sure cannot lose it in one day. Their is no sure miracle out their for that.
Keep in mind that you are worth it and you can do it. We are here for you. If you need us give shout will be their for you.
I better be going now I have to get busy with the daily routine. More later.
I'm ducking in for a quick . I'm still trying to get on top of everything at work. I see a light at the end the tunnel; so I should be back this afternoon.
I got a manual treadmill last night for $49. There was one for $90 that I loved. It had a bunch of bells and whistles. But it wasn't collapsable and it was noisier than the manual one. It would have been fine if we lived in a house, but we're on the third floor of an apartment building. So no dice. I still like it very much. I'm sure I'll get lots of use out of it. Even though his intentions were good, I don't think my husband is going to want to go outside after work during the week. I'm a little too much of a scaredy cat to go out by myself at 6:30 in the evening this time of year. It's getting darker and darker.
I hope everyone is having a good day so far. As Seen on TV arrived yesterday. I can't wait to start reading it!
Doing the drive by thing myself this morning! But I had to stop and say Good Morning!! I hope everyone has a fantastic day today!! I'll be back this afternoon to check on everyone!!
EKK! I am so excited! You all sound really great! I am looking forward to picking my city and getting there! As I sit here typing this drinking my slimfast I hear a little voice call out "mama".. I looked over and my son was trying to get me to eat his breakfast. hehe. I think I need to get him to stop doing that! I did take it but I set it aside. Yay!
Okay so 100oz of H2O! I think I can do that, I have the smallest baldder ever so that will be fun.
Good afternoon to everyone. Jest wanted to pop in here and say that I did 5 miles of watp it has realy made me feel energized here. I hope everyone is having a good day.
Chin up toots, keep shining it will all pay off in the end!
