Happy New Year Everyone! Here's to a happy and healthy 2008!

Dbf and I had a great NYE, a fancy dinner and then a small party with a few friends. Didn't go overboard at all, and it felt good!

Joni, Emily-I browsed through Skinny B* on Amazon....from the blurb I got to read it sounds right up my ally! I'm going to go grab it tomorrow and try to read it before I go back to school/work!

Joni-your local challenge sounds like a great way to stay motivated....who organizes it for you??

Kimberly-loving the new hair! Looks great!

Lettie! Glad you are home safe and sound from your trip to Florida!

I too love flylady. I started it this summer, and right about the time I started to slip up on eating right, I also started to slip up on flylady. I need to get back on track now that school is starting again.

Hi Stephanie! I love your avatar! Get on here often for some motivation!

Where is Carrie, Liza, NICOLE?! And so many others? Katy? Come back!

Good night all!

Kimberly - there are a lot of really good online resources to help you read the Bible through in a year. One of my favorites is www.bibleinayear.org If you sign up, you'll receive daily emails to tell you which verses to read to help you achieve your goal. There's also www.oneyearbible.com If you go to the site, there's a daily schedule. You don't just start in Genesis and work your way through. You actually start on day one reading from Genesis, Matthew, Psalms, and Proverbs. By the way - love your new do!

Thanks Felicia, I'll check those out!!!

Back on Track
 

I had a good success last year on the program, would like to try it myself before going back to the center, etc.. Re-gained some weight and some bad habits. Would like to buddy up with some people who are giving the program a new shot. Starting with the 2 day protein fix and will move on. Would like to substitute the Luna bars and the Knuedsen juice for the beginning. Great to hear everyone's thoughts on the program.

Happy New Year All! Glad to see everyone had a safe NY and stayed close to plan. We kept it low key and just stayed at home. DH was not feeling well and I for one don't care for the party scene.

My Non-Weight related New Years Resolutions are: 1) Make an effort to be nicer to everyone 2) If I don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all (that one will be tough).

Its pretty cold here for Alabama. 32 is going to be the high to day. I am freezing. I couldn't live up north.

Kimberly - Love the New Hair.

Mornin' gals!

Cold? You think you gotta go up north for cold weather, Amy? It was 15 degrees in Albuquerque this morning and 10 degrees up here in Santa Fe when I got to the office!

Be one with your POP!

I just found a cool one too,


eword.gospelcom.net/year

you pick your language, your bible version, your reading plan (like if you read it straight through or bits of old
and new at the same time or in the order they were written historically, etc...)
then you pick your start date. so if you miss Jan 1, no worries it starts your
year when you pick and you go a year from there., then it gives you which
passages to read each given day and you read them online. after you read them,
it crosses it off for you!!! it is so cool.....

All this Bible talk has got me thinking..

We need us an "Olde Time" weight loss revival!

We could set up a tent with elipticals instead of pews...

*KAZOTT!* as I get struck by lightening... :lol:

All kidding aside, it's obvious with the new year, there are a lot of new people here.. I haven't seen the board this active in a long while.. This is insentive for us "old timers" here to get seriously back in the game, whether its with weight loss or maintenance...

Good morning everyone! How are my fellow TO buddies doing today? I hope you are off to a good start. I am hungry, but that is alright. I need to rid my body of the crap I put in it the last week. I am very mad at myself! My goal is to be POP until my DD 1st birthday on the 17th of February. Can I do it?!?!?

My DH was going to TO with me, but he is home with a terrible cold. I've tried to TO before when I was sick and it doesn't work well. I think your body just needs to energy to get well.

Bless your hearts, but you guys don't know cold until you live in North Dakota. :) My in-laws are from NC and they freeze to death when they come up here. I heard on the radio this morning that the wind chill was somewhere around 30 below! Yicks, it is cold here today! Supposed to be in the teens by Saturday! Yeah! But, when you are not used to the cold I am sure it is so much worse. Wear layers and layers of clothes :)

Well, school started today, so I better get back to work and figure out what I am going to teach the rest of the day. As much as I would still love to be home with my DD, it is nice to have a routine back. I am such a routine freak!

Who is it again that does in home daycare? I would love to chat with you about it. I am thinking about making a change next year!

Just doing a quick site drive-by!! Happy New Year to all! (oldies that remember me, and newbies alike) Hopefully I'll be logging in more to chat. Wanted to let all of you know that I'm still alive and kicking and keeping the weight off! So proud that I've kept the weight off and didn't gain anything these past holidays! Whoo-hoo!

Evette!!!! Great to see you and to see you're keeping it off.. Way to go!!!

Thanks Dan!!! Looking good!! I've got to catch up on so much. Hope you, Liz and your family had a great Christmas and New Years!

I started a thread just for those of us who are wanting to get FLYing this year., Look for FLYing LAWLers.......

My hope is that we can use that thread to keep each other FLYing straight

Hey!! it evette! good to see you around!

Good Morning!

Wow, Evette, I wasn't around when you were losing, but I've heard your name and am absolutely inspired to see your post! Congrats on keeping the weight off!

Stacy- I'm a routine freak too-but I am finally getting a few days off this week and am really enjoying it! GL getting back into the routine. I know Katie runs a day care....maybe someone else too?

Lettie-I'm going to be checking into the FLYING thread...great idea!

Wow Dan, I didn't know it got that cold there! I can't imagine living in ND....Nor Cal is cold enough for me!

Big plans to be POP today! I slipped up a little last night, but doing well overall!
