Just read your posts Kat...how scary! Thank God Kinsey is doing better today. Will continue to keep her in my prayers. Sorry to hear about Bluehill, Betty, please send her my love and good wishes for her quick recovery. Yikes.....what next for our little group???? Roberta

Kat.....That is simply wonderful!!! You two reaaaaly needed that time away. I'd say he was a keeper too! Boo, have a great time in Mexico! You gals really get around!! It seems that right now my body is losing inches instead of pounds. Does anyone know how long this lasts before the scale will move? Roberta Roberta

Betty, so glad things will be taken care of sooner than later with Alan. The waiting alone can be very stressful. I will keep you both in my prayers. Roberta

Julie and Betty, hope you both have a great time! I'm back to my plateau but seem to be loosing inches instead of pounds. GGGgrrrrrrr! I've been feeling rotten with my asthma and haven't left my house in days due to the cold and ice. Right now I have lost my drive to workout and that is probably reflected in my plateau. So close to onederland, and yet so far. Bummer. Have a great weekend everyone. Roberta

Hey Dawn......I'm so not surprised!!!! I knew you'd get there very soon!!!! Congratulations!!!!!! :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: We're all shedding tear with you! Roberta

Kat: I do have restriction after the refill. I have no idea where the other fill went since it didn't go in my Band. I'm not sure I even want to know...needless to say, that PA will NOT be giving me any future fills. Roberta

Glad to hear that your all moved in Julie, you've got a lot going on all at once. Oh, to have that kind of stamina again......BTW...how is your body feeling since the fall?

Went to Curves this morning, 45 mins. workout.

Betty: I've been reading your posts and my heart goes out to your family and to Kat's. Your families have gone through so much, but it's good you can be a support to one another. Boo: Sorry to hear your DH has a valve problem also; hopefully with monitoring he will do well. Congratulations on your new job offer! You and Julie live exciting lives! Sorry to hear about your asthma attack...it is very scary. Smart girl to keep a inhaler on hand. I do have allergies also which can stir things up a bit. Betty, I am feeling better after my fall, but still have some pain in my back if I do too much. I am happy to report that I've dropped a few more pounds and am 2 pounds away from onederland!!!!! Didn't get to post my exercise from yesterday....45 mins workout. Roberta

Good grief guys!!!! I stay away for a while and the sky starts to fall. Sorry to read about all that's going on with our little group and Betty and Kat's husbands. I'm feeling much better from my fall and was able to get to Curves for a much needed workout. Boo, I hope your hunger is just due to the extra energy expended from running. Bluhill, cellulites can be problematic as you know, so please take good care of yourself on your flight. Julie, hope your feeling better and pain free. Roberta

Hi Julie, I've been using ice and warm compresses for my left shoulder and neck. Not feeling up to any exercise other than cleaning out my drawers, washing clothes, and vacuuming. Thanks for checking on me. Now as for you...you are an amazing young woman with lots to offer. You'll know when your ready to get out there and meet someone special. Roberta

I've been having a hard time posting. Everytime I write a post and get ready to post it I lose the web page. Anyone having that problem?

Welcome home Kat. Glad you guys made it home in one piece with that horrible weather. Girl.. don't let that food trip you up in your goal. Hang tuff!!!!! Roberta

No Bluehill, the exercise came before my fall; I'm not that tough. :-) Thanks for your concern, Betty and Boo. Roberta

EVA, so sorry you had that horrible experience on your date. I had a similar experience last month when my husband and I were eating out. I was so embarrassed. It's a good a sign if he wants to try it again. :-)

My computer was down yesterday, so I'm just catching up! Exercised yesterday, and the scale finally moved! YEAH!!! Only two #'s but I'll take it. I've started out this month by falling down the stairs on my backside ( in the house), I tried to catch myself and in so doing I wrenched my neck and shoulder on the left, and hurt my little toe, which began to swell up!! I iced my back, neck and little toe immediately and took some Tylenol. This morning my neck and shoulder are giving my a lot of pain....sure wish I'd listened to you Betty! :-) Hope everyone has a great weekend!

I'm 9 1/2 months out and have loss 65#'s. I'm a very private person about everything, so only told my husband, my two sons and their wives. I"m still happy with my choice...I'm not sure if I'll ever tell any of my friends. A woman in my congregation recently had the bypass done and has told everyone. It's a case of different strokes for different folks! Roberta

We as a group decided from the very start the this was going to be a thread that would be dedicated to improving our lives through exercise. We would be able to come here to discuss our fears, gripe, and to be inspired. That is why we view it as a "challenge", so that we might find out what we are really capable of physically. No one should feel pressured here, we all do what we can, when we can. Whatever works for each one of us is what counts and we exclude no one. Anyone who wants to join us is always welcome. Roberta

Bluehill: Glad to hear your alright! Why do these things always happen when we have no time to deal with them??? Julie: We will be right there by the sidelines.....we'll be the ones screaming the loudest! Have a great run! 50 min workout this morning.

That is fantastic!!!!! :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: Well done, Eva. You look so cute!! Roberta

Bluehill, I think that exercise has become such a big part of your life that you will find ways to keep moving while your away. They may not be at the same level of exercise but it will still be of benefit. You certainly did have a stellar month...congratulations on that!! Who would have thought that any of us would EVER be concerned about getting in enough exercise....how our lives have changed.

Sorry Betty about your friend. You are so right....makes you appreciate life doesn't it, especially when you get in your sixties. Roberta
