| Last night we went to the pool with the kids. I took my baby back and forth in the water while "running". It was pretty fun! I have been walking in the mornings before it gets too hot. I cant wait to get out of the 150s! I have been in them since January! Enough already. I will do a backflip when I see the 140s! I have been getting some compliments about how good I look lately! I am not going to lie- IT FEELS GREAT! It does however make me wonder how bad I looked before. I mean I know I was heavy, especially for my height, but I think I had my own idea how I looked. I hope everyone is doing well and finding success! Have a great day:) |

| I have been MIA too! I am sad to say that I am back up to 160. Very frustrated with myself but not motivated at all to do anything about it. I am not able to run b/c of my foot, so a few more weeks until I can start running again. gaining this weight back has not been all bad though. I got my boobs back! I had lost so much weight in my chest that I was down to a B cup! now I'm back to a big C cup. so I'm glad for that. I'm sure once I get my motivation back I'll get back on here again. But until that time I'm probablly going MIA again! Good luck with your running. start slow. jog 30 seconds walk 1 minute. then build up each week. jog 1 minute walk 1.5 minutes. do this until you are jogging 5 minutes walking 1 minute. and if you are really ambitious kick it up to jog 10 minutes walk 1 minute. it really helps if you start slow. don't expect you body to be able to run a full mile the first time you start running! and most importantly HAVE FUN! |

| I went on a walk last night with my neighbors. I would say we went at least 4 miles if not more. I felt really good after. It is amazing what women will open up to each other about! I also did the Biggest Loser Yoga before that. Today I am not so gung ho with the exercising. I just might not do anything. Oh well. I am good with my calories so I guess 1 day won't hurt. |

| Today went ok. I had to finish a book and do a book report on it. I also got my house picked up. Now if I can only get my laundry caught up and put away. I made some Fiber One cookies from a recipe on the cereal box. They were pretty good. I hate not knowing how much is in something for sure though. With those kind of things they are just guesstimates. I went on a walk on some trails with my parents tonight. We saw tons of butterfles, dragonflies, a toad, 2 jackrabbits. 2 woodchucks, and plenty of mosquitos! I also did Biggest Loser power sculpt with my hubby. I feel so good after I do that. It's just the motivation to get it done in the first place I have a hard time with. I hope all is well with everyone and you are succeeding in your journey! |

| I have not been on here in awhile.... Needless to say my weight is still the same... 155. Oh well. I have been really motivated lately and have been waking up early to walk with my neighbor at 5am. Yikes that is early but knowing she is out waiting for me gets me out of bed. The scale was a little higher there for a bit but I have it back down and hope to see it keep going down. I just keep telling myself that maintaining will be easier than losing. I have enjoyed my workouts a lot lately. They are good for de-stressing! I have a family reunion at the end of July that I have to be in a swimsuit for! AHHHHH! I hope to be somewhere in the 140s by then. I will still not be bikini ready but will at least look a little better. Good luck everyone! |

| I'm with you on the breakdown issue! I about had one this week too. I had cleaned the house top to bottom last thursday...it took me hours! then with in about 45 minutes the whole place was a mess again! I tried all this week to do little chores each day to keep up with the mess but I could not keep up! The laundry piled up more and more, toys left the kids room and ended up in the living room so when i walk through in the dark middle of the night i get sharp pains in my feet from walking all over them, the kids decide to take all their blankets and pillows into the livingroom and make tents or whatever else they are pretending to be doing. but do they ever put them back in their room??? NO! The kitchen is a constant disaster, my husband has a habbit of making toast or sandwiches with out using a place and leaves crumbs and sticky jelly all over the counters! don't even get me started on the kitchen table....we cant even see it lately b/c of all the crap on top of it! WOW that felt good to vent! thanks! Have a great weekend. |

| 4 days down of me back on the band wagon!! I did go a little over my budget yesterday but not too bad so I am not going to beat myself up about it. This weekend will be another story.... they are so hard. I just want to relax and eat chocolate which is why i am fat in the first place. I have been so stressed and down this week. I am so behind in my homework and my baby does not let me get a lot done. My house is a mess and I just might have a meltdown at any time. AHHHHHHHHHH! |

| Well 2 days down with no cheating!!! I feel good about that. I keep looking at my fat picture on my fridge to keep reminding myself why I am doing this. It is really helping! I also keep imagining what I want to look like in my family pictures and what kind of outfit I want to wear. I hope this all pays off!! |
