I got my cleaning done on Thursday and yesterday I spent the day going through my closet and drawers. Seems I passed right through some of my 12's and can now fit in to some of my 10's. It's nice to have a new wardrobe every couple months. Although I have not pulled out the suitcase yet I do have piles and at this point only need to replenish my ditty bag.

Question of the Day..... How many pounds off is your weight on your driver's license?
The other day I pulled mine out and was shocked at the face looking back at me. At the time I got it I was about 190 lbs. yet put 160 as my weight. Now I'm 148 so it is off by -12 lbs. Sadly it will not be replace until 2011.

QOTD: Oddly enough, FL doesn't put weight on the DL. But looking at the picture and the date issued, I was 30 pounds heavier. It doesn't even look like me. No wonder the clerk selling me the Musinex DM looked at me funny the other day. Yes, I got carded for cough suppressant/expectorant. Who used that stuff to get high?

Mission of the day for me: Drag DH (somewhat willingly) to the Farmers Market. The maybe on to the Navy Base to check out the new IMAX movie at the museum.

Gone all day and no one else posted?

Happy Birthday RangerChic! :bday2you:

Dixie- I was gone all day too. Just got home and spent some time cooking dinner with my DD. We broke out my low-cal cookbooks and whipped up some things. It should be good. I need to eat and workout yet tonight.

Stayed the same on the scale today. It was to be expected after 2 slices of pizza and no workout yesterday. I will workout tonight.

Hi everyone

Happy Birthday Shannon. :balloons: I hope that you are having a great day. Are you a comic book writer? Or a collector?

Dixie I hope that you are feeling better. When we were in California, I got carded everytime I bought wine. Now I am going to ask why do they ask for ID when I am obviously over 21? I haven't been asked for ID since I was 18. :lol:

Cruise - When I went to renew my drivers license this last year, I told them to put the same weight down as last time which I thought was 190 lbs. (which was 40 lbs short) She gave me a snarky look and told me I was not 120 lbs. :rofl: I went 4 years 100lbs lighter than I actually was. I told her that it was not my mistake because I obviously would not tell them that was my weight. :bravo: on getting into your 10's. I hope that made you grin and feel really good about your progress.

Mindy I hope that you and your DD had a great time together. How old is she? Are you up for a last chance workout tomorrow? I am going to do 2 workouts tomorrow.

Monte-wow that is some good calorie burning that you have going on. You will be down your 17 lbs in no time.

Tanya how exciting that you might have guests for the summer. How old are your nieces? Have you been to another Zumba class yet? I have heard great things about it. Now I just have to try and find a DVD, as they don't have that class here.

Instiches - what a great mom you are to still do baskets for your kids. Do they live close to you?

Shy - that is alot of Afghans to do. Guess that doesn't leave alot of time for after dinner snacking.

Rhonda - how are you doing? Still OP? You and I will be in the next challenge together.

Newshiny- :wave: how are you doing?

MissVitality- How exciting that you will get to meet the Queen.

Willow-your right. Why ruin a good movie. The only books I get to read are kids bedtime stories.

Sonja - Are you back on the wagon? I am. The new perspective really helped me. Also, I have to tell you, we live out in the country, so when I was coming home the other day, some poor girl was in our neighbors driveway taking a pee break. As we drove by she gave us a wave. :rofl: I laughed so hard, I was crying, and my abs were very sore. My family of course couldn't figure out why I thought it was that funny.

Me - We are both at the 90 second running stage. Do you find that it is getting easier for you?

Mary-How is everything going for you?

Well I am hoping to finish week 4 of c25k this next week or so. Although it certainly won't hurt to keep trying. My SIL gave me a book to read called The Eat Clean Diet. It is about eating every 3 hours, and doing some weight training. I am going to try her approach and see how it works.

I hope that everyone has a great weekend.

it is definately getting easier. everytime i run i find i can do more as long as i keep pushing myself. yesterday i did run 90 sec/walk 90 sec/run 3 min/walk 90 sec...repeat. lol and was amazed at being able to do the whole 3 min. thing.

well i'm kinda nervous about starting work tommorrow. lol, not about the work but have to be ready to leave at 5 a.m and always worry i'll sleep in. probably won't be able to sleep tonight cause of it.

Question of the Day..... How many pounds off is your weight on your driver's license?
well idk let me look....apparently michigan doesn't ask either.:o

Hi Chicks! :D I'm late to the party, but I see lots of friends from the blue team here. I tend to log in and just check threads I've posted on quickly and somehow missed this one completely. I'll keep my intro short, I'm turning 40 in a few days, want to lose less than 20 pounds, love running and have loved working out and sports for 20 years...also love food and drink just as much so have gained weight over the past 10 or so. ;)

This morning I found this thread, what a bunch of fabulous women!!

QOTD: How many pounds off is your weight on your driver's license?
Nova Scotia doesn't list them but my photos looks to be about 20 lbs heavier. I need to get a new one done soon.

Dee, I'm charmed by your current photo! Overall would you recommend purchasing Jillian's new book?

Lucky- My DD is almost 24. Hard to believe. And my DS is turning 21 in July. You have just put the smack down. Last chance workout, here we come. Oky, I will get in a run today since it is beautiful today. Then tonight I will do some type of strength workout. What will you do?

I had to laugh about the girl taking a pee break. I also live in the country and there have been times when I was out running that I needed to head out into the field or trees for a "break".

Dixie- Please report on Jillian's book. I have looked at it several times now.

Me- Have fun at work. You sew? What kind of job did you get sewing?

I have taken off 3 of the 5 pound (mid-cycle) gain. Must keep going.

Thank you all. I've had a tough weekend. I overate, so using my first freebie. I'll post and say more in a couple days once I get myself good and going again.

up and ready to go in now, my last job was sewing auto interior so with the economy the way it is anything auto is not good it seems. this factory i will be sewing for wolverine boots, alot different kind but hopefully its not that much different. its stand up sewing at both places....more like stand on one foot all day sewing. my feet probably won't love me after today.

Happy Birthday, Rangerchick!

Dee- Add me to the list of people curious about Jillian's new book. I love the subject and hope she does justice to it.

Question of the Day..... How many pounds off is your weight on your driver's license? Mine shows 243. I'm 11.2 pounds lighter now.:carrot:

Last week, I began calorie counting and a 13 week beginning runner program. Today is my official weigh-in day and I'm down 4 pounds for the week!

Morning everyone, just wanted to pop in and let you all know I won't be around much the next couple of days. I have major running around to do today and tomorrow is my travel day (CA-SC). It would be a huge help if everyone could post their number today so I can post the results this evening; if not it might be Wednesday before I can post them.

My weight loss has really slowed and I have to admit I'm a little nervous about being gone for 2+ weeks. Although there is nothing that is off limits on my plan I am able to control what is brought in to the house and IF we eat out where we go. This will be a real world experience; one that I'm not so sure I'm ready for. It wouldn't be so bad if I were just going to see the kids but I will also be getting together with my sisters in Williamsburg for five days. While there I am also have lunch, dinner, or drinks with several old friends. My goal at this point is to maintain the next 2+ weeks.

LC - I almost fell off my stool laughing about your license story.

ME - Good luck today!!!! I'm sure you will do fine.

Shannon - My thought is life is about moderation not restriction; an occasional indulgence keeps me happy with my life style change. You'll be back to 142 before you know it.

me4life- Hope your 1st day is Great, and your feet don't hurt too much!!

QOTD-PA doesn't require weight, but everytime I gave blood I told them I was 250, when I actually was over 300 at the time.

luckycharm-my daughter and oldest son live about 2hrs away, and my youngest lives less than 5mins away. It's funny, I really miss the crazy days when they all lived here, wow, it's so quite now. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that my daughter and her husband have a baby soon.

Hi to all-had a very busy weekend, it was so nice this past weekend, we went from winter to summer, the last 3 days have been in the high 80's, I did get in a very long walk yesterday, helped me to stay the same weight this week.

well need to get in my exercise and get ready for work.

I don't think my weight is on my DL but I did just see it on my Military ID and it used to be 40lbs off, now is only 13..lol. I wish I knew when I had that weight put on.
