HeHe. I was telling DH that I would love for them to be in the bottom next week. That would be sooooo funny. Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if Heba starting "singing a different tune". LOL about the challenge. I stood up and was cheering Stacey on, lol. You would have thought I was watching a football game, lol.

My DVR must have cut off a little early, because I didn't see that! Wow, she is crazy! Her evil little smirks freak me out!! Satan's' minion perhaps....

Sorry Whosya. We didn't mean to spoil it for you. Next time we will put a note not to read if you haven't seen it yet, okay. You still need to watch it though. It was hilarious!!

Anyone watch tonight? I was soooo hoping that Stacey would have beaten Ed. But, I rejoiced when Brady was sent home. Funny how their little plan backfired. Oh, and Vicky is psycho :thumbup:

Hey Renewed! Sorry you can't sleep....I know that has to be irritating. Maybe she can go ahead and take the staples out soon. You're doing great girl! And you look phemomenal!!!

Sugarbean~ YAY!! Glad you enjoyed your run. Good for you on getting back to it. I was stoked that Brady was sent home! I think Amy C. made the right choice. It was sooooo funny how their little plan backfired. I think Vicky is a psycho anyway...Amy C better watch her back...

WTG Whosya!!! Can't wait till I can say I ran 10 miles!! You rock!!

Karey, you look great! Praying you heal quickly.

WTG mominflorida!! Don't worry about your time or speed right now. You need to start out slow and work up later. Focus on getting your endurance up first. You're doing great!! Keep up the good work!!

Hey buddies! I found it hard to get going today. I ended up running for 25 minutes, but it was hard today. Not sure why, but my right foot is bothering me a little today. Sugar~ I used to tell people that my stomach couldn't handle roller coasters because I knew I couldn't fit in them. I haven't tried the ride any since losing weight. I know I would probably fit, but there's a little voice in the back of my mind saying "you're still too big". What a great feeling that must have been for you!

Hey girl! Yeah, I do Zumba on Tuesday and Friday mornings. I'm really loving it! It's a lot of fun! Today: Treadmill~ Ran for 25 minutes Srairmaster~ 10 minutes Strength training (arms and legs)~ 50 minutes I plan on doing some ab work later today too.

Sorry you're having problems Shalee. Hope it clears up soon. Just keep resting and take it easy. Sending warm thoughts and prayers for you.

Thanks Mia!! I would love for you to do it next year with us!! I am planning on going to the meeting. I thought I had a fill scheduled for Thursday, but I was wrong. It's the Thursday after the support meeting....UGH!! I am in desperate need of one. Although I am exercising like a crazy woman, I have gained 6 lbs! I can eat absolutely anything and A LOT of it, even lots of bread. I've been soooo hungry lately. I fear that I have lost more fluid:( I wish I could get an appointment Thursday so I wouldn't have to drive to Albany twice. I'm gonna call and see....worth a try I guess.

I had a blast at the race! I had my best time yet....39:03!! My goal was to try my hardest to do it in under 40 minutes, so I was stoked!! I'm already planning my next one, lol. I took today off, but I will be running tomorrow. Thanks for the support ya'll!!

Great NSV Sugarbean!! Whosya~ Good luck with the half marathon. When is it? Kathy~ Have a good work trip. Hope your band doesn't give you too much trouble.

Leslie....no reason to be humiliated. Look at it this way....you ran further than any of the other 5K'ers. That's something to be proud of. If I had went an extra 2 miles, the ambulance would have had to zip me over to the hospital, lol. You did great!! My son is finally asleep, so I think I'm gonna take a nap. Talk to ya later.

Mia, I'm proud of what you have accomplished and I know your mom is too! Congrats for celebrating. I'm sure it wasn't easy, but that's what your mom would want you to do. ((HUGS))

LOL. I was hearing the rocky music as I was running up those massive hills. Well....they seemed massive to me anyway, lol. I had a blast!! I can see how this could get addictive. I ran all but about 1 minute of it. About 3/4 the way through, I walked for about a minute to catch my breath and then started it back up. I am on a total high right now. I already know of 2 more I want to run. I had my best time yet.....39:03. I get all emotional when I think about where I was a few months ago and where I am now. It's sooooo amazing to think about how far all of us have come. Leslie and I were talking about doing this one again next year and maybe even shoot for the 15K....who knows! Sorry, I don't have pictures to share. DH couldn't get off work to go with me. I should have snapped a few pics of me and Leslie after the race with my camera phone, but it totally left my mind, lol. Anyway, I'm pretty tired and hoping to take a nap when DS goes down after lunch. Thanks for all the encouragement ya'll. This is a fabulous support group and I'm thankful for all of you.

Hi starlings. Homemade soups and chili are great for freezing. I bought some little tupperware containers that hold small amounts and I freeze chili all the time. I just take it out when I'm ready to eat it and let thaw, then microwave.

Thanks guys! Ya'll are the best! Leslie and I will be running like the wind in the morning, lol. Renewed~ I posted on the other thread but I'll say it again....You look ABSOLUTELY FAB!! What a transformation!! Welcome mominflorida! Good luck with the program. It has really changed my life for the better.

WHOA!! You are smokin' girl!! You look absolutely FABULOUS!! I can't get over how tiny you look. What an inspiration you are. Thanks for posting the pictures. You look absolutely gorgeous girl!

I absolutely love spinach dip! I bought some at Walmart the other day (the Tostitos brand creamy spinach dip - on the chip aisle). Yesterday I used it to make chicken salad, instead of mayo and it was wonderful! The spinach dip has 50 cal, 4g fat, 2 carbs for 2 tbsp. Mayo has 180 cal, 20g fat, and 0 carbs for 2 tbsp. It's much lower in calories and fat, and it gives a lot of flavor. I used canned chicken, added a few tbsp. of spinach dip (as much or as little as you like) and a little salt and pepper, very tasty lunch!! I love the texture it gave the chicken salad. The dip has diced veggies, so it adds a little crunch, which I love. Hope you all like it!

I'm taking today off. I am running in my first 5k race tomorrow, so I'm taking it easy today. Have a great weekend guys!!

Maggie...the support group meeting is at Palmyra. I am going to definitely try and make this one. I'm anxious to hear the speaker. Sounds like great topics.

WHOOO HOOOO! I can't wait to see pictures!! I'm glad your appointment went well and glad that the little problems can be fixed easily. You are going to be a knock out!! You've been such a trooper through all this. You rock!!
