I'd be game, Bonnie, for a memorial day challenge- I need something closer than my birthday in july to work towards- and that would be a good half way point... now that all the wedding and honeymoon is done (we still have a reception in Maine in June) but most the stress is over, I can concentrate on ME again...

wait until you see pictures (of the honeymoon, and other misc that was on the film before)- I took pictures of me in my shorts (size 18) last summer, I'm now wearing a 12/14- mostly 14s but I have 2 pairs of 12 pants. I hope I can make the size of the picture small enough so the board will accept it. I have problems sometime making them small, even when I copy them as web-ready. Going to hopefully work on it tonight- to getting them downloaded on the computer...

never going back..... never going back....

Hi girlies!!!

Ty Bonnie and Skinny for the encouragement. I hope to weigh on Friday, I'll let y'all know soon.

And YES I am in for the Memorial Day Challenge. Sounds great!

Ty Tae also. Congrats on the size 12!! I have never been in a size 12! So I really can't wait for that too! Are you tall? I'm 5'4" and at around 200, I'm in an 18. When I did get to 179, I was in a 16 pants, 14 top. Ah well, we'll see what happens when I get there.. Note the keyword is WHEN, not IF. I guess I'm getting some of my determination back! This spring is gonna be great!

Kandice! Welcome baaaack! So glad your honeymoon went well!!!

I think this is gonna be OUR YEAR girls. Definitely. What do you all think about this...

We could all plan a weekend to meet and share pictures, esp. Before ones, after we hit our goal. Or at least be 10-15 lbs. from it. We can always change our goals. Maybe go to a state none of us have ever been to.. And we can set a tentative date, even next spring. Just one weekend.. even just flying (or driving) there on Friday evening, and coming home Sunday night. Spend Saturday together, eat, talk, go bowling.. lol. Or something, whatever! Might be fun. I'd have to start saving now. I have no clue how much it is to fly lately. If you all think this is too much, I understand. I just know it would be great to meet you all. Esp. if it is next year, look how long we'll all have been friends on here! It would be the round trip flight (or driving cost), two hotel nights, food cost, some type of entertainment on Sat. We can bring bfs, DHs, an older child, or our grandma, with us. But I wouldn't bring my whole family. My DH and I haven't been away together in a while. This would be something nice to look forward to.

We plan to go to Galveston for the weekend in April for his Bday and have some of those black and white, old fashioned pics made, complete with hair in a bun and mild smiles. LOL.

Well, let me know! Either way is fine. Hugs, and hope you all have a great Easter!!

bonnie- I think that's why I've been stalled here for a while- I'm 5'10 too- so my BMI right now is 25- "acceptable weight". 155 has always been a magic number- I don't even know where I got it from, that I picture people (read= myself) 5'10" being...

challenge starts monday- we need to enjoy easter first! I'm still hoping for some Peeps! we went to Walmart last night and I told Chris AGAIN that Peeps were my FAVORITE... lets see if it sinks in...

Selina- hi again!! just wanted to wave hi and say I think you're doing great... can't wait until friday so I can see how you did!

still drinking my water today- I am going to finish it all before 5 pm- that's only 3 hours... gulp gulp gulp!

just wanted everyone to know that I drank all my water yesterday and today I was down another lb! That is all the honeymoon weight gone now and I'm back to where I was.

so I downloaded some pictures- got some more to do- 4 more rolls- maybe this weekend....

hope everyone is doing good- last day of work for me this week! YAY!

check back later

wow! way to go bonnie!

I was so bad this weekend- eating, and eating and eating. I'm starting low carb faithfully today. Peeps are my favorite and 5 peeps have 40 grams of carbs! So my 40-60 a day went right out the window, and then of course Chris' mom had icecream fro dessert (another weakness) "all that and caramel" with reeces pb cups and caramel swirls! mmmm! but today is a new day and I'm starting over!

look forward to seeing everyone again- and meeting new people in our next challenge! someone set it up?
