Hey, glad to see you. i was wondering about you. Seems like its been a very long time since you posted. Thats so awesome 5 lbs in a week and the 70 lb board..:carrot::carrot::carrot: a size 12, girl you are going all the way, yay for you!!;)

Thanks :) Can you tell I chickened out and deleted the post? :)

Congrats on signing that 70 Pound Board!! Whoo hoo!

I am glad to hear from you!! I was wondering how things were going! I think there has even been a shout out for you in the last thread. I am sure you have been really busy! But you are a fat burnin' machine! You will be joining me in maintenance soon! Good for you!:carrot::carrot:

Congrats of the 70 pound board!!! Doesn't it feel great????? I hope you are so proud of yourself - I know we are!!! :congrat::cheer:

CONGRATS!!! That is fantastic :D:D:D

This may be a case of not every center offering them. I joined mine in mid-January and the only classes my center has offered so far are a cooking class and an eating out class (where you go with one of the counselors to a restaurant for dinner). The do those 2X a month each.

The people that work at my center are really nice, very supportive but they don't really do any of the fun things that I see (from you all) other centers doing.

SHINEON: YAY for you! You must feel fanstastic! :carrot:

ANGIERUE: About your comment on getting to the point where your diet usually fails...I do know just how you feel. I have lost weight quite a few times BUT! never at one time as I have on MRC. I get fearful sometimes whether or not I can go all the way and finish the job. I decided to turn it around and make it less about me and more about the example I set for my girls. I have slowed down the last few weeks while I got it together again but when I thought about my girls and whether or not I want to remain at 191 pounds, the answer was to buck up and get some passion to move on! Take the classes at MRC and use, use, use the consultants when you are struggling - they really will try to help you out of the doldrums.

Still at sister's house and leaving after lunch today. It's been remarkably easier than I expected it to be - maybe I'm learning something after all! ;)

Way to go on the 70 lb board! Wow, that's incredible! Thanks for sharing the news about Christopher Banks, I'm going to go to ours to see if we're having a big sale. Isn't it great when the scale moves down and your clothes are too big. It is so gratifying! Keep your spirits up and the number on the scale down! Hip, hip, horray for you!!!!

I SO hear you! I think this is common for a lot of us. I have a copy of the 100 Days of Weight Loss and I think I'm going to read it... and use it... I really WANT to do this.

We can do this!

What great advice for all of us! Thanks!

I have a membership at Anytime Fitness and Gold's in Loveland.

Today I am going for a run/walk because it is gorgeous outside. Would you like to join me? I think I will go on Spring Creek Trail at about 1 pm.

I really like this book.....if you go to the website, there is a journal that you can print. It is 117 pages, but if you take the PDF to Kinko's they will print and spiral bind it for about $10. I did it and it makes it easy to write. I didn't do front and back printing so that I had the back side of the page to write. I use it as a write positive things to keep me going!

Shine on - You are a Dyna-m0 !!!!! Amazing! :carrot::carrot::carrot:

So..I just need to vent. My brand new car (ok well, new at least - 3 months old and a 2008) has a HUGE scratch on the passenger side. It goes in an arc and is at least 10 inches long. It's not TOO deep (though you can feel it) and it's too thin to be keyed (I think) but I have NO idea where it came from and it makes me SOOO MAD. I could just, eat lots of McDonalds. I feel like everything I have gets ruined. GRRRR
