Ok, I am back and looking for the girls...where are you? I know you all are still here....Judy? Where are you? Today is Monday May 7th and I am starting a 6mo journey to skinny. My DH left for 6mos and I WILL be skinny, and healthy when he comes home. I WILL. I am starting at 237 even and I know it works. I also know I can do it. Here's lookin at you kid!

Hi Kelly! I am back after a diet break to see if I could just maintain (which I did) and everyone is gone! I'm trying to get back into weight loss mode now that I know I can maintain. I've set a goal to be under 200 by June 4, so wish me luck!

Girl...you have done great so far! Good luck! I know you can do it! I have some one point muffins in the oven and can't wait to eat one or two. I am here to stay...now I need to dust off that treadmill sitting in the corner.
June 4th, I hope to be down 10-12 lbs by then. (Actually 10 is my goal for this month)
We can do it!

Hi Kelly and Mom2! It's good to see you both back.

What happened to the starter thread was two-fold. First, I was starting to feel lonely - some people dropped in but you and some other "regulars" dropped off and I was starting to feel lonely, as if I was "talking" to myself.

This past weekend, I upgraded some software on my computer and promptly lost access to the internet. Thankfully, it's fixed now so I'm back online.

I had a good weigh-in this past Saturday. I finally got to 20 pounds lost!!! It took me ages to get down to my "lowest" point and then I danced around the number for a while.

So far so good this week. My yoga practice has been steady. I got out into my garden a couple of weeks ago, did too much and aggravated my back although it's getting better. My allergies has been horrific though - they say it's the worst allergy season in a long while and I guess all problems I had with bronchitis and wheezing this winter have left me vulnerable....I've had to use the inhaler a bit this week because of the allergies so I haven't been outside for walks (although the weather is beautiful.) I hope to try walking on the treadmill later today and see how my breathing is.

Have a great one and stick around!
Judy

Judy, Glad to see you are still around.....I fell off the wagon and regained all my weight again (although I have not gone OVER my starting weight from before) and am renewed to get this fat gone for good. I have missed the support and am back for good..I will be sticking around (you can't get rid of me that easy) I am taking some courses online to get my degree (sucks going back after 15yrs of not being in school) since my husband is retiring in 3yrs from the navy. I also am a single mom for the next 6mos because my husband is on deployment. (I gotta hand it to all you-this is hard!) I have 6mos to lose 60-70 lbs (being optimistic here) and am determined to do it! With your help and guidance I know I can.
