  4. Salsa, I hope you feel better soon. Take care and take it easy! I got in strength training today. No cardio. I had a busy, busy day and family coming in from out of town. I haven't changed my ticker but I'm down 3 lbs from the last update! :embaressed_smile:
  5. PurpleGirl, you look fantastic!
  6. Got in strength training today.
  7. I'm staying on plan today because I lost 1.5 lbs this week!
  8. I'm here, Pizzi. Spring break is over and I am back to a crazy schedule. I'm trying to post on the exercise thread but soemtimes, I just get to busy. Have not updated my ticker but will soon! take care.
  9. O.K. Salsa and Pizzi, You two have been my role models for a few months now. I just read post from both of you about blowing off exercise. If you need a short break, o.k. but don't stay there too long. Think of how good you feel when you get the work out in. Salsa, I hope they get your fill right. I know it's miserable to slime and feel like you can't even eat soup! Make sure you tell the NP that you can't tolerate that much so if you get another fill you don't have to go through that. Pizzi, all things in time! Sometimes we can't see the whole picture until its behind us. Great things are due to you, be patient. It will all work out. I got in 30 min cardio today and lost 1.5 lbs. I'm feeling good and want every to feel good, too. You all lift my spirits when I'm down and help me stay on Good Choice Street when I want to wander down Disaster Ave. Take care and feel better! Val
  10. Hello all, 30 min strength and 40 min cardio today! Looked at a picture taken last week didn't recognize myself for a minute! Val
  11. I am staying on plan tomorrow because While I didn't go over on calories today I did not make the healthiest choices and I didn't work-out! I have to make up for today, tomorrow!
  12. BBlonde, Congrats on your acheivement! Val
  13. Becky, you look awesome!
  14. I'm staying on plan today because I want to be at 260 by 3/31!
  15. hello all, Got it 30 mins cardio today. 6 glasses of Water 2 to go! Val
  16. Wow, you guys are moving! :drool: I don't know where my head is about ps but my body is no where near ready to think about it. I'm a bit impressed with my waist right now, nothing hanging yet and an apron was my biggest concern. Oh, and these bat wings! Anywho, good luck to all of you who are there in this process! keep me informed so I know what to expect if I decide to go that way. I got in 30 min strength training and 30 min cardio, today! Who'sya, I joined sparkpeople. I really like the site better than fitday. Thanks for the tip you gave me atleast a month ago. I'm a little slow! I'm feeling good, guys! I think it may have something to do with the weather change or maybe I'm able to catch up on my rest because of SPRING BREAK!!!!:teeth_smile::hurray: Take care all!
  17. No gym today but I did get in an hour walking the dog! Val
  18. I didn't stay on plan today but I am tomorrow because I didn't have this surgery to not follow through to success!

  23. Hello All, wow a lot has happened in here! It's spring break and I can finally breathe! I updated my ticker, finally! I"m in the March challenge. I've been working out regularly and walking the dog about a mile a day! Made it to the gym this morning and it felt great! Val
  24. Michelle, congrats on youraccomplishment. it will get easier when you have proper fill. I'm stayed on target today because I go for my 6 moth check up tomorrow and I want to have lost 60 lbs! I am staying on plan tomorrow for the same reason!
  25. I know I have spring fever! I can't wait for the weather to break. We are currently having a hail storm! Last week it was in the upper 70's! Still working out 4-5 times a week. I find that if i work out in the morning, my energy level is increased. Val
