Good Evening girls! We had a great day. We didn't get to go to church because the baby's car seat was not latching stil, so I washed it really good and discovered a straw wrapper jammed in the latch thingy. Got it fixed, and then my folks picked us up and we went to "depot days" It's a little craft fair thing with a train ride and pony rides and stuff for the kids. It was a lot of fun.

My fridge is on the fritz, so i have all the milk and such in an ice chest. It sounds like you are all ending the weekend on a good note and I'm so happy! I didn't ride my bike, but we did a lot of walking at the thing today, so I got a little exercise that way.

I hope everyone has a super week and all you gals up north try to stay warm. I hate to tell you but I was sweating my buns off outside today...... It was HOT. In November. Go figure, I guess that's Florida for ya, and I wouldn't be surprised if it's cold tomorrow. Take care girls!

Hugs, Jen

Jenn - it was hot here too. I woke up yesterday and it was 76. And of course the humidity was around 80%. I think I felt my gills coming out.

I missed so much not having a computer for the weekends. I miss reading what you guys do. I painted ALL WEEKEND. We didn't stop until last night around 5:00. My body hates me right about now.

I hope everyone is doing great today. I will be checking in periodically during the day and I hope to see some new posts from my friends!

We miss you on the weekends too!!! I hate painting too. I like the idea but I just want it done right after I start! LOL I hope you all were good this weekend. What are we gonna do for Thanksgiving and CVhristmas? That is such a hard time for me. I want to make a pact right now that I will not mess up for the holidays. I want to be 130 pounds by my birthday.

Angie - you are like me on this site all day. I never seem to get off even when to ole boss is around. Of course it makes me look busy all of the feverd typing going on.

KempyD: it's so worht it having internet at home. I'd die without it. Painting takes the life outta ya. It hurts all over I can imagine. But I bet the finished look is fantastic! How was it with the girls around? Did you do good?

Angie ME: 130 by your birthday?! Wow, that' a goal alright! What's your weight now? And whens your BD? Mines on the 26th of this month. I'll be 28. I feel old, which usually makes people laugh, but it's true.

Jenni: HOT!!! did you say HOT!!! What the heck! it's rainy and huid, and it's like FALL. Remember, FALL! You guys have al lthe luck. Id kill to have 60's here. Then I could do garden stuff, instaed of watching everything turn brown and die. Man, I wish we had year long perfect weather.

KempyD: still weight training?

Got a walk in yesterday, and thank god, aerobics tonihgt. I pray I sweat my *** off, literally. It's been over a week wihtout it, hope I remember the steps. I alway sfeel good when I know what I"m doing. Out instructor is wonderful there. Hey, Question: should I sweat when I walk? Because when I first started walking, i'd sweat. But now, i'm not. So, should I be sweating now?

Oh, Im all for a pact over the Holidays. Wow, I'm still thinking about taht 130 pounds. I'd have to starve myself for that one. My goal was 150. Now i"m goaling for maintaining for now.

AngieME: from your picture, I'd say you're about 150? How much weight have you lost in all?

You too, KempyD: whats your overall loss so far?

And Jenni: I know you're losing, what's the number?

I am down about 5 lbs. I guess that is ok. Better than gaining anything. It is ok not to sweat as long as your heart rate is up high enough. If it is not warm enough I know I have a hard time sweating but my heart rate is going good so I know I am working in the right zone. I havn't started back on the weights. That was supposed to be this morning but I couldn't get out of bed.

I have been pricing computers today. I am thinking about getting a new one and haveing internet at home so I can chat with you guys at night and on the weekends. Maybe that will give me something to do when hubby isn't home so I won't eat.

Chris, I weigh 191 right now and my birthday is July 1 so that gives me 8 1/2 months to lose 61 pounds. I lost 135 in just under 12 months so I should be able to do this.(hopefully) Wanna hear something neat about my birthday? It is the same day as my mom's and my twins. Mom turned 18 the day I was born and I turned 21 the day the twins were born. Strange huh?

Kempyd, The computer really does help me not eat at night. I actually eat my supper while I read everyones journals and when i am done eating I am so busy still reading that I forget all about eating any seconds. Then later in the evening I will go into the chatroom (which is missing right now) and talk to other members.

Angie - COOL COOL COOL..... we have the SAME B-DAY!!!!! I knew I liked you for some reason. Something weird too is that it is my grandfathers b-day too. That is to weird. If you lived closer we could celebrate together.

I am one step closer to the computer at home. I think my hubby is ok with the one that I want!!!!

wow. At least we won't be able to forget each others birthday!!! LOL. I have a Dell computer. I haven't had any trouble with it yet. I can't wait until you get one then we can keep up with each other at night and on weekends too.

AngieME: I had on idea you'd already lost 135 pounds, that's amazing! Good for you! Now, how'd you do it in such a short itme?! My mom weighs like 300 pounds, and she has lost about 100 pounds before, but she put it all back on. I just can't picture you that heavy. but I'm s proud of you so far, and if you can do that, you'll have no problem wiht the last ones. You go girl!!! WOW!

KampyD: can't wait to hear that you're gettinga 'puter. That way, when hubby's away, we can all touch base, and cheer each other up. I hate waiting all weekend for updates.

Well, i lost the 135 2 years a go and I gained back 76 of that. that is what I came here to lose. I think i can lose it by July. I had to exercise for 1 1/2 hours every single day to lose it last time. I am a statistic I guess. You know by gaining it back. I figured I better get back on track before I gained it all back.

Howdy folks. I was 206.5 as of this morning. that's still only 5 pounds, but I haven't been exercising so it's my own fault. It rained all day and it is still raining now. That was one bad storm.... I'm glad we didn't get the tornado part here. Very scary.

Kempyd - I'm so excited that you are going to get a computer!! That rocks.

Angie - How did you motivate yourself to exercise so much? I can't even get my house clean, much less get exercise in. What's the secret?

Well, I hope you ladies have a great day tomorrow. I'll talk to you later.

Hugs - Jenni

AngieME: that's a lotta moving and grooving! 1 1/2 hours a day, wa that aerobics of something? I usually walk every day, except Mon/Wed, that's my aerobics class. Which , i went to last niht, thank god, i sweated like I was on fire! I really needed it though.

I have a friend from Missouri coming up tonihgt, and i'll have her here until friday night I' m so excited I can barely wait! My instructor tol dme I could bring her to aerobics wed night. Hope she doesn't feel silly, there's a lot of steps you gotta know. But, i hope she has fun with me. Still teetering at 170 pounds. Feeling good about myself. Just hoping I can stay this way throughout the cheese balls and turkey drumsticks.

Hey guys I am trying to scan some pictures today but I can't seem to get the scanner to work. I will let you know when I get them in. If you pm me your e-mail address I will send then to you.
