Rockie86, how long has your BF been away? You must be totally giddy/nervous!! I know I would be!

:hug: meowee, you'll get there!! Just keep on going!! Glad you're loving your new TV. Ummm... what's Buddy Ball and the Frog???

Ilene, how long have you been lifting? What's your workout schedule like?

Found out Monday my dad has the beginnings of COPD and/or emphysema... he wasn't entirely clear, but I think it's emphysema. That's been weighing on my mind quite heavily (I posted a thread about it in the support forum). In fact, yesterday and today, I've felt short of breath... I tend to get sympathy sicknesses frequently - where I'm not really sick but I psych myself into it because someone I care about is. Weird, hey?

Hope everyone has a great day...

Aw, Shelby :hug:, sorry to hear of your dad's health...but DO take care of yourself... Start weight training to relieve the stress, seriously! I started weight training when I quit smoking 22 years ago :faint:... I'm 50 now :rolleyes: and I cannot give up lifting it's the best exercise... I now lift, run and swim plus in the summer I bike... Sometimes in the summer I'll do all 4 exercises on the same day, I'm a bit fanatical :yes: ...

In case you haven't figured it out already, I am a little :crazy: at times . . . Buddy Ball is my stability ball and this . . . http://www.crazyfroghits.com/ . . . is The Frog. :D

And you dance to that music? It is very catchy...

Hello From Ontario

I'm a mother of 4 great kids - 3 Wonderful Girls and 1 Superboy. I am married now 17 years (in July) and together with the same person for 20 years... wow - that was SOME ONE-NIGHT STAND!!! Oh well - cheers to good intentions - and bad intentions too.

I have been trying to lose weight since I was 122 lbs trying to get to 120 and I made it but now I'm 20 years older - although spiritually i dont feel that much older - and now i'm 232 and working my way back to 120 - sometimes upstream it seems.

I try to do everything for everyone and make tonnes of money in my career but something's got to give and it has been my waistline - so now it is time for something else to give.

TOPS - TAKING OFF POUNDS SENSIBLY - is my recent format for losing weight - i missed this week's weigh-in due to child birthday but since i started I lost 3.5 lb and have begun a slow adjustment to eating less everyday by eating small things every 2 hours and not overdoing it at anyone food sitting - dinner/supper with the family is my biggest challenge because i eat faster than anyone else and then sit there and pick at stuff while i'm waiting for them to finish - bad bad bad - so im thinking of new strategies for that. my parents are coming over this weekend - for my daugther's birthday- which means dirty looks while i enjoy a piece of cake - but that is too bad - i have decided this year that i will enjoy all life-celebrations but try not to carry them over into the next day and next week. WALKING will start today and i will not give up or give in until i see 130lbs on the scale and my neighbours don't recognize me anymore!!! (and i have a trail of men following me home, because they can't resist my gorgeous figure!oops sorry hubby)

i love sports better than exercise - dont you?

Good Wednesday -
mehappy - !! I completley misread your post about missing the TOPS weigh-in due to child birthday. I read that it was due to child birth. I had to read it a couple of times. :rofl: Silly me.
Shelby - I will send good thoughts your way about your father. Have a hug -:hug:
Meowee - I completely understand about the wind and rain!!! Except here today its wind and rain and snow. :mad: :brr:
Ilene - sooo jealous of your weather today. I've only been to Ottawa once and boy it was beautiful.

I haven't worked out today yet, but tomorrow is our first big run for the triathalon training program I joined. I'm super excited about it - Except for the forecast is calling for more snow snow snow. :mad: It's okay. I'm tough, and will survive. Man alive did I just have the biggest piece of puffd wheat cake. :devil: yes... devilish but worth it, I'd say. Maybe later in the gym i won't think so.

I hope everyone has a great day, and for sure better bloody weather!!
Tam

Hi there, MEHAPPY . . . glad to see you joining us . . . sounds to me like you are definitely Happy . . . :hug: Here's my big weight loss tip for today . . . try to slow down while eating . . . it really can make a world of difference. I know, I know . . . easier said than done. Just do your best. ;) I've never tried TOPS but it definitely has a good rep for supporting it's members. Have you found our TOPS group yet? Know they'd love to hear from you.

TAM . . . We've progressed to SNOW too . . . :mad: . . . Calling for 5 to 10 cm by tomorrow morning.

Yep . . . I just love Crazy Frog . . . I think he's actually meant for kids . . . but that's me . . . 64 going on 7. I love the cartoon channel too and that's were I first saw some Crazy Frog shorts and then I found a DVD at WalMart . . . and the rest, as they say . . . is History. :o

Well, the cats are screaming that it's dinner-time so I guess I'd better at least think about feeding them . . . ;) See you later, gang. . . :carrot:

Hi all!

I'm Heather, and I didn't even know until today that we HAD a Canucks Club (Crazy or otherwise!) :D

I'm 37, married, and am quite simply eating less and moving more. I track and journal my calories with absolute discipline, but with enough leeway to allow a treat now and then :) I walk my dog, and am currently acting in a musical, so that gets me moving!

I'm in K-W, in SWOntario, and soooo glad it is spring!!!

Looking forward to getting to know you!

Heather

Yay! A group for us canadians!!!:carrot: I'm a newbie here and just love the site already!!! I'm 24 and have been marrie four years to the love of my life, we have two furbabies whom I spoil wrotten lol and love to travel!!! I lost 20 lbs a few months ago, and unfortunately have gained quite a few of those back and I am in need of support and help right now!!!! I have an awful tendancy to binge eat and yo-yo diet. As you can tell by my ticker I've lost a few pounds, but unfortunately have lost them the wrong way and hoping to start fresh.

Look forward to getting to know you all!

Hi all...nice to see all the new people - tho' Im pretty new myself. I had a good day - stayed on my plan foodwise. I still have to get exercising. I lost weight with a diet clinic (Dr. Bernstein) and did maintain, but slowly drifted up. But I have caught it in time.

Meowee - holy smokes that's one Crazy Frog for sure

I am so glad spring is here. Its so nice to drive without a bulky coat on and on dry roads.
Have a good night everyone.

Hi all

Feeling a bit frazzled this week. I've been busy and have had no time to myself to get on the computer. Feeling a bit crabby but it's nice to check in and feel connected.

Off to bed. Have a good night.

We like him too in this house. He is also callled the annoying thing I believe(he is evrywhere stuff)

Morning! I'm going for a walk. This sunshine is just soooo tempting!
