as for me, im 45 (today in fact lol), have two grown kids, and right now i take care of my mother (she is on hospice). i cant believe i have gotten so huge.. i lived out of the country for the last few years and just got bigger and bigger.. it's way past time to do something about it.
im married but he isnt over here yet .. he stayed behind to sell our house for us.. it looks like the sale will be final sometime this mo, so he should be over here soon.

i am calorie counting, walking, and using slim in 6 dvd's.. well, i say using the dvd;s.. lol.. i work out for 5 mins atm, and then im pooped lol.. itll get better im sure..
i look forward to getting on a team and getting to know all my teammates..
and Happy Birthday ~Twilightwing!
sorry to hear about your mother

and yes it will get better with regarding to exercise. i have 3 mottos.

one- is that i dont kill myself when i work out so i hate it, and dont want to do it again! lol i think any movement of the body is exercise, its the accumulation of everyday that adds up.

two- but at the same time i try to push myself a little bit, push myself out of my comfort zone. its abit scary sometimes. but it feels good afterwards!
I always hear Jillian's voice in my head

Feel the Fear- do it Anyway

three - i take mini breaks during my workout. you can always hit the pause button and then once you've catched your breath resume the workout, or during any type of exercise take mini breaks when and as you need them.

Are you doing anything particular to prepare for this Challenge kicking off?

Not so much because of the challenge but I am going back to running. My kids started kindy this morning so I have 8+ hours a day to myself. I might as well devote an hour of it to running. I'm also working on getting my food back on track. I've been stress eating something horrible for the last 3.5 months and have allowed way to many animal products back into my life. I'm going to give them the boot back out.

Happy Birthday Twilight!

I am not really doing anything special other than watching my portion sizes, counting calories and making a commitment to myself to exercise 3 - 5 times a week.

My name is Laurie and I've done these challenges before. I've finished a couple and the others - well life just got in the way. But I've decided that I am going to make this commitment to myself to eat healthier and exercise so I feel better. I think we're all worth it. So to heck with FH for an hour or so several times a week. That's going to be my "me" time.

I was down to 173 in March and then we went on vacation. I gave myself permission to eat whatever I wanted and I haven't stopped since then. I've gained back 16 pounds and am determined to get them off again. For the last time.

I'm 53 and have 2 kids and 5 grandkids. I work full time for a labor organization and live with FH. We're talking about making it "official" in 2010 so I'd really like that to be part of my motivation for getting healthier.

I think that's about it for me in a nutshell. I'll check back later to see which team I'm on. Can't wait to chat with you all more.

Hey Diva - good to see you!!! I was in your neck of the woods in May. It was cold and wet while I was there. But still beautiful country. Hopefully we can be on the same team too. But if not - good healthy competition is always fun!!

Happy Birthday Twilight!!!

Great post Dee!

I totally agree with:
"1) These BL Challenges. Sticking around here (and posting regularlly) had kept me on track and accountible. If I disappear for more than 3 days, you can bet I'm on the counch with some ice cream. "

I've been really busy here the last few weeks, and haven't been able to even visit and read, but while my son is writitng a paper for school, I thought I'd pop in and say "Hi!"
Without the list chatter I've really slipped here the last couple of weeks and have slipped off of my plan of counting calories and working out, so I'm ready to get back on plan and starting the next challenge.

I was in the summer challenge and didn't quite do as well as I would have liked, but I did lose some and that's OK...I'll do better this round!

Quick wave to the Blue Team!

I can't wait until the next Season starts too! It's very inspirational to me.

~Suzie

everyone!

Combined teams - I am insanely busy today (and the past week) and I will try my absolute best to get the team rosters finalized and posted tonight.

Along with that note...where did my results post from last week go? I know I typed it out. With my luck I hit the "X" to close the screen rather than the "Submit Reply" button. It's been that kind of month.
