Hi ladies. Remember me?? Tammy said you were asking about me, Phyllis, to see if I'd join the challenge. LOVE to. I found a few threads on it, but nothing that told me the points system. Can someone point me to the right thread? Thanks.

Just an update on me. Some of you know the story. Depression and anxiety, 15 years in a bad marriage, etc. Well, hubby came home from Iraq, wants a divorce. Luckily, I finally found the right meds combo for me, and it's helping me through this transition. I'm moving about 30 minutes away with the kids, closer to family. I'm looking for a job, have a few interviews lined up. Soon as I can get a job, I can find a place to live. I'm incredibly nervous. Never lived on my own. Got married at 19. I'm also excited. I get to be independant, and recover my strength and sense of self.

I've been going to the gym an hour a day, 5 days a week to help with the stress. And it's starting to show!! I had been up to 225, now I'm 208. Long way to go still, but getting there!

I look forward to getting back to frequent posting, now that my attention span is better. I miss you all!

So I'm starting the challenge a few days late, but I'll check in tomorrow to see about the points. I'll catch up!

Later, everyone!!

Yea, Marcie is back too!!! You have been missed my dear.

Wow, some major life changing events going on. I was the same way married at 18 when my first dh died and I was left at age 28 with 2 very little children.

You will do great, you are all ready doing wonderful going to the gym and working out, losing weight, making your plans. Of course there will be some hard times but you will come out a winner and the slim woman your meant to be.

We are working towards a 20 lb. weight loss by Sept. 17....wouldn't that be something, think of all the new clothes we'll have to get. So join the challenge and if you can't post everyday you will only lose that point, don't give up the prize is the weight loss.
