Hi all

Baby l understand completely, when Eric was first dignosed with Autism l dropped everything to look after him. So just be there for your DD.

Michelle we just moved here in October, orginally from Whitby, Ontario, but l grew up in Sarnia, Ontario.

Hi Emily l seen you waving thanks.

Good luck Chez and please posts some pictures when u get a chance.

Well no luck on the bike carrier, so gonna go shopping tomorrow and by new.

chellez - can't wait to see your pictures!

babygrant - I'm sorry you're going through a tough time.

Time for me to step it up as the other cheerleader here!

I hope everyone is having a very on plan weekend! You can all do this - eat less, move more and drink that water! We all want to look hawt this summer right? :D ;)

Hi ladies - I have been a very bad poster in this challenge, just never seems to be enough time in the day. But, I have been lurking and am very excited at how great everyone is doing.

Just wanted to share two very exciting events for me today. First, I got on the scale this morning, and that evil TOM is finally passing, so I had a nice 3 pound loss for the week, and with that, I am officially at 101 pounds lost, which is a big milestone for me. Second, I went out and ran 13.1 miles today as practice for a half marathon that I signed up for in 3 weeks. Very happy to report that I finished, and I feel pretty darned good overall. Hope you are all doing well this weekend. Chellez, I can't wait to see your dress photos!

Hi, Windy! It's good to see your post. Congratulations on passing that milestone in your weight loss, wow. Soon you will be able to get bumper stickers that say 13.2 (isn't that the half code? I can't remember). Have you used walking and running to drop all that weight on your way to healthier you?

baby, I'm sending hugs and prayers.

I survived a family picnic yesterday, Hub's family of excellent cooks. I took a little of everything I wanted, ate turkey instead of beef and enjoyed tastes of a few desserts. Definitely not what I'd call all OP choices, but I still chose well.

Hey, Mo. If you haven't bought your trailer yet, have you tried on-line? Overstock.com might have what you want, and I do alot of pre-shopping at amazon.com because sometimes you can find real deals there. Be sure to tell us what you choose and take a picture of Eric in his new rig, so we can ooh and aaah. :bike2: (Imagine that, no picture of a bike pulling a trailer!)

More coffee, then I'm taking Didi for a run. I was looking at the Title 9 catalog this morning and I'm determined to get into some cute outfits this year.

Have a happy Sunday, everyone! choosewell.

Choosewell, congrats on living up to your name, and resisting the bad stuff at the family picnic. Hope everyone else is having a great on-plan weekend!

Yes, running has been a huge part of my success in losing the pounds. Ultimately, food choices play a larger role mathmatically in the calories in vs. calories out computation, but I have found running really focuses me to stay on course in my diet too. It allows me to add a few extra calories on occassion without too much damage, but I always think "gee, hate to waste all that energy I just used on my run" - so I still stay pretty true to plan.

Hi choosewell

Yes l have tried shopping online but we are in Canada and most places don't ship here or else SH is more than the product, Sometimes l wish l was in America. I will take a picture of him in it once we get one, went shopping yesterday but didn't find one that had the features l want so were heading out today to costco and see what they have. Our amazon.ca only sells books so far it's not as good as amazon.com But thanks for thinking about me.

Windy CONGRADS ON BOTH EXCITING THINGS!!!!! You must feel wonderful.

Everyone else keep up the great work and get outside and enjoy your sunday.

Windy!!! Congrats on the 101 lbs!!! you are an inspiration to all of us!!

windy congrat on 101 pounds lost.

Wow! What an exciting and busy weekend it has become!

Unfortunately I totally forgot to take my camera with me to try on my dress! But I did purchase it and its being shipped to me from Florida this week, so I'm going to take pictures next week I promise!

babyg - sorry I didn't get a chance to reply to your pm. I'm so sorry to hear about your baby. I completely understand and wish your family the best.

Windy - :congrat: on your huge loss! I know you lost so much weigh last challenge. Makes me so proud :D

Mo - do you find that you have lost alot of weight from biking? I was told by my friend that its much more interesting than running or walking on the treadmill. I would just imagine you would have to go farther to get a really good workout. I was looking at bikes today.... I found some at wal mart I'm interested in so I may go looking.

Well today I really don't have too much planned other than starting my hardcore exercise routine. I need to lose a few inches prior to the wedding so I need to get started right away.

TTYL.... make sure you weigh in by Monday night!:hug:

Hi Chellez

Yes l find that bike riding works well for me, remember l am carring Eric in his bike seat and he weights 40lbs so that helps too l am sure. with my CP walking is out so biking works the best for me. Well we couldn't find a bike carrier here in Calgary and since ouy anniversay is May 31, Dh and I decided to take a road trip to Montana for anight away and buy one in grand falls Montana. So in 3 weeks l will be able to pull Eric and l can't wait. p.s the night away will be great too, swimming pool in the hotel, so Eric is gonna love it he is like a little fish.

Keep up the good work girls.

Good morning everyone!

I'm back from a mental vacation. I needed a week to just stay home and sleep. Stress isn't fun. Although, I am worried about weighing in for the new week. It's not that I ate a lot, but I was just not active at all.

Anyway, I see that babyg has dropped out. Best of luck to you and your family. My thoughts are with you.

Hope everyone else is having a good day.

Good morning ladies! Well this weekend was busy busy busy! I did yard work all weekend so no exercise other then that, but my body is feeling it! I got all my flowers planted though and the yard picked up and it feels good looking at it and knowing I did it! Today is going to be like a mini exercise and eating bootcamp for me. I am going to try my hardest to get in 2 workouts a day this week.....a light on in the morning and a more intense one at the gym in the evening! I have to get my butt in gear here. I leave for California in a few weeks here and I need to pick it up a notch if I think I'm going down by the pool in the two-piece I bought....I don't know what the **** I was thinking! I am really nervous about this but my husband reassures me it looks good and he never has held back the truth from me before with my clothes. If he doesn't like the way something looks on me and I ask he always tells the truth in a nice way though! Today my son has a bb game and I think my grandparents are coming to see him so, I'm looking forward to seeing them! Other then that just going to go for a bike ride this morning and then wash all our bedding and then relax in my yard and enjoy the flowers! Hope you all have a fantastic day! :carrot:

Babygrant- My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family!:hug:

Chellez- I can't wait to see your dress! Is it the one you posted awhile back....strapless I think? If so I loved it but if not I can't wait to see the new one! Are you getting excited yet? It was one of the funniest times of my life and I don't recall being super stressed at all. I do remember a few mishaps but just know those are going to happen and don't let them ruin such a special day for you! Really in the big scheme of things the only thing that matters is that you and Daniel are going to be married and all the other things are just that things! They are pretty things but just things...the vows are what are important! Listen to me I sound like a shrink and your not even asking me a question! I just want you to enjoy your day though and go with the flow because its a magical time! :)

Windy- 101 pounds :bravo: That is fantastic! Keep up your good work!

Mo- you are kicking butt! I need to step it up and pull some motivation from you! Your night away sounds wonderful! Happy Anniversary!:cheers: :swim: That is going to be Eric swimming like the fishes!;)

Veggielady- sometimes we need a vaction from a vaction so just relaxing and getting rest on yours sounds wonderful! :beach:

Well ladies I am kicking it up this week and I won't be reporting a gain for this weeks weigh-in thats for sure! Time to get down to it over here!:drill: :tread: :lifter: :bike2: :boxing: Let's get to it!

Have a fantastic day everyone!:grouphug:

Woo! This morning has been busy busy busy for me! I have a few quick minutes to get this in and then I'm off to do something else for work!

Tina - I'll try to find a picture of it online sometime today. It's the same cut as the one I posted before but its a different dress. I may have to wait until this weekend when I go try it on at my parents house. The dress is discontinued so Davids Bridal doesn't have any pictures of it! :mad:

Veggie - :welcome3: back!

Mo - I went to Walmart last night and looked at bikes.:bike2: I found a lightweight one I liked but it was a men's bike and it was 300 dollars! :fr: Looks like I'll need to shop around some more before making my investment!

Well I'm off to type up the reminders and finish up some things before lunch.

Hope you all are having a great on plan day and drinking lots of water! ;)

My sister got bad news yesterday it looks like she may be having another miscarriage her numbers are going down again. This can happen in some pregnacy so we are still hoping for the best. This will be her 2nd since January.

Aww Jen I'm so sorry to hear that...

I've never known anyone personally that miscarried but I'm sure its a very tramatic experience :(
