Hey Ladies,

So I was a little dissapointed because I weighed in at 145 yesterday (which is what my ticker says?) with the PTr and that's AFTER a week back on Phase 1? On a positive note, when me and the PTr compared my before and after body fat analysis I had lost 2.5% body fat and 5 pounds of fat. And my waist and hips were down an inch.

I just have to get on my exercise soap box and say that I'm in the best shape of my life! It's amazing and I am so grateful! This morning I jogged 6 miles in an hour on the treadmill! I never in my wildest dreams thought I'd be able to do that. I was so focused on working out for losing weight that it didn't really occur to me that as a result my indurance would increase and that I'd be able to do things I'd never been able to do before!

Hope everyone has a great day!

KMY~ Welcome, just hop right on, plenty of room.

:welcome3: to newbies. Hope you like here there is a great bunch of people on the beach.

:dust: to those of you that are going out tonight. Congratulations :cheers: on that 37 year anniversary. Does Cheesecake Factory make a sugar free one? I have never been to one. Sounds like a :no: :no: :no: for me too though.

Let's all have a wonderful day on the beach and enjoy our new lifestyle and not think about that old lifestyle that put us here on the beach. This way we can just enjoy the beach and our new friends and the heck with dumping on ourselves for how we got here. :high: :beach:

I am off to work in a few minutes. Jumping out of my skin with excitement to see the new niece. I might have to take a couple of days off and just go. I usually try to stay away when babies are brand new because there are so many visitors it can get tiring for the new mommy. I need some :dust: for this.

Lisa! How fun, I love Casting Crowns!
Let me know how awesome the concert is.

Bunna- I know that Cheesecake Factory does make a sugar-free one, but I couldn't go there when they had a chocolate chip cookie dough one too!

Want2B - I totally dig Casting Crowns. I'm so moved just by their music that I know the live concert is going to give me Spirit goosebumps and probably will make me start bawling. I mean, it's an awesome bawl, but still. Who likes to cry in public? I'll let you know how it goes! I heard the one here was incredible. Hopefully we have decent seats but you never know with freebies. I'm just glad I get to go!

Hi Ladies:)

Just got home from our weekly grocery shopping.Had to wait a little for the radition machine broke down again.Hope theres no problems tomorrow as we have to get into the chemo section[second floor] by 8:40 A.M.

Happy to let you know that the 4 lbs gain is gone and my ticker is now the right weigh. Hopefully I will be able to lose 2 more lbs by Sunday[new W-I day] I finally be unter the 150 mark.

Didn't have time to read what you posted so I have to go back and read them.

Hugs :) BB

BeachBum~ I am glad to see that ticker sliding,,,,,, Take Care of yourself.. and keep us posted.

I still can't get in control of my eating! I know this is a constant battle for most of us, but no matter how much I lose, I still eat because it feels good. Like eating 2 SB bars for a snack instead of 1 (that's what I did just now).

I think it's out of boredom when I'm at work because I'm just sitting at my desk all day.

I feel like we all grapple with this one but any suggestions? My immediate thought is to JUST bring snacks for the day, but this is just me reacting to my out of control behaviour not changing it...

FRUITS help me through the boredum crap, I struggle as with this as well with that Sarah, but I keep grapes, apples, strawberries, and bannanas, preparred for snacking ,, If I am gonna over snack I would rather do it with fruit,,

Hey girls. Sorry to do a driveby....but at least now I get to do a "drive"by. Finally got the car back tonight. Now I've got to catch up on errands, so I'm headed right back out the door.

Welcome to all the newbies, congrats to everyone who got good news today, and a big "hang in there!" to everyone who's struggling with the craving monster this week. I think that covers just about everyone. :D Have a fabulous evening!!!
