Hey everyone!
MamaKat- sorry to hear you're having some mania goin on. Thinking of you and hoping it passes soon. Are there things you can do to help manage the mania, or is it just something you have to wait out?
elizabethyellow- Welcome! You've found the best group of people around. I couldn't have stuck to my weight loss/lifestyle change plans without these guys.
abbysue- Rock on for finding a way to manage the fake hunger! What a great idea!
PintSizedTerror- WTG on the 3 pound woosh!
Amy3469- welcome!
zoodoo- don't you hate it when your exercise plans get derailed? that stuff happens to me and I quickly lose the motivation to get started all over again. It's so much easier to just think "well, there's always tomorrow".
jomatho- I'm doing the same thing you are- trying to incorporate different exercises into my routine to shake things up a little. I recently started walking as well, and I was surprised at how sore my legs were the next day! I'm also trying to condition my body for the Disney walking we're going to be doing in November, so thats pretty motivating.
csalove- welcome! Congrats on being 6 lbs down!
Diana3271- Hope you get results from your allergist appointment next week. How do you feel maintenance is going? Is it what you expected?
alaskanlaughter- wow! Your carbs are so low! How do you keep them that low, if you don't mind me asking? And welcome!
Melissa- glad you enjoyed Zumba! I want to try the Zumba class at our Y one of these days.
shishkeberry- congrats on the lost inches! I'm glad you decided to keep posting. I hope it helps you as much as it's helped me.
Erica- How's your goals coming along so far? I'm also planning on 4 days of exercise this week.
K9Owner- I also struggle something fierce on the weekend. Thanks for the workout well wishes, I found I've been missing the gym more than I thought!
Isabella- hi, and hope you are feeling better!
Darius- hi!
Larry- SO GLAD your cardiologist said you're doing well. The 12 lbs was scary! Also, yay for being able to ride your bike again!
I just had a bit of a scare. I was sitting here on my laptop typing to all of you when my laptop restarted itself. Luckily, it somehow saved this post and all my personals to you guys! Yay!
Things are good here. I was proud of myself yesterday, as usually I go to the gym with a good friend of mine on Mondays, and then we grab coffee/tea. She couldn't go, but instead of taking that as an "out" I went anyway and kicked my own butt! Legs and arms are a bit sore today, but so worth it.
Weighed in today at 168. Not bad, considering my weekend with the peanut butter balls. Strange to think that I consider my highest weight 170 these days. It used to be my goal weight.
NSV- My neighbor saw us walking this weekend and asked if I was losing weight and asked what I was doing. I told her "good old fashioned hard work" and mentioned calorie counting and exercising. That was just nice.
My goal for this week is to have more on plan days than not and hit the gym 4 times this week. So far I'm rockin it! Hope you are all having great days.
today myself.
after being cooped up for 3 days inside at work/sleep!!
with tears--of course!!
So that's 3lbs down since last weigh in. Nice to be in the 150's again.

Still think of you guys often................missin' keepin up! I'm still stickin' with it.....I'm expecting to weigh in tonight at 193.5-ish (last week was 195.2) so I'm still hangin in there and not givin up...although not being here hardly at all is making things go MUCH slower.
