Hey guys! Thanks for updating everyone Renewed. We had quite a week. My son and I were both pretty sick and a family friend of ours, lost her son. I feel so bad for her. In the past 2 years, she has lost her mother, husband, and now son. She has no one left. Rough week. I am feeling somewhat better. I've also had a rough week with food. Too bad my sickness didn't affect my desire to eat. I tend to turn to food for comfort. I am shaking it off and starting new again today. I'm not up to running yet, so I will pass on this challenge. I will definitely catch the next one. As soon as I feel up to it, I'm gonna hit it hard. I'm thinking of doing another 5K on May 2nd, so I gotta get busy. Everyone is doing soooo great!

Congratulations Juli! I'm very excited for you! I hear you on the arms. I think my arms bother me more than my tummy. Now with summer coming up, shirt sleeves are getting shorter and shorter. Ughh, I hate it! Once I get closer to goal, my arms and breasts will probably be the first thing I do. Good luck with it! You have done a phenomenal job! I'm sure you will look fantastic!!

Hinder- Better Than Me

Me too. I think my problem is I go full force until I get totally burned out. I've got to learn how to tone it down, just a little, so I can stay consistent!

I've taken quite a few days off. Anyway, here what I did today: 3.22 mile run/walk on treadmill 15 minute arm training

I have a HUGE NSV to share. I went shopping all day Saturday with a friend of mine and for once in my life....I enjoyed trying on clothes! I started my journey in a size 30/32 and I bought a dress that was a size 14!!! I mostly wear 16/18, but I am sooooo stoked that I fit into a 14! It's been soooo long since I have seen that size!

Hey guys! I had a super busy weekend....stayed gone the whole weekend. I took about a week off of running but I ran today. I think I was getting a bit burned out, so the break was good for me. I haven't caught up on all the threads yet. Congrats Whosya!!! 200 lbs is AWESOME!!!!!

Carol....I had to repeat many weeks! Don't worry at all about repeating. Move on when you feel you can. As long as you keep going, it doesn't matter. You are doing great!

Thanks BBB (best band buddy, lol)! Whoooo Hooooo! Size 7 jeans.....that is awesome! I'm so proud of you girlie! LOL on the adult ADD! I am that way too on some things. Usually crafty projects that I start....I end up wanting to start another one before I even finish, lol. As for me, I didn't run again today and not sure I will be able to tomorrow. I've been bad, lol. I will definitely run Friday and hopefully tomorrow. I did manage to start up low carb again today with no problem.

Ughh, I hate it when they leave us hanging! I agree with ya'll. I don't think Jillian too far either. Laura needed a dose of reality and she got it. Poor Mike....I felt so bad for him! I hope he makes it, but I have my doubts. He already said he felt like his body is just trying to play catch up. Poor fellow. I still love Tara! IMO, she is the biggest threat there! Even as her weight gets lower and lower, she pulls double digits just about every week. She is a machine!

Yep! The Oikos brand was $1.46 for 5 oz. But since they were the only place in town that had them, I paid it! My town is lacking in the grocery dept. We have walmart, winn dixie, and harvey's....that's it! They're all pretty dinky too if you ask me.

Whooo Hooooo! Glad it's here!

Hey Renewed! Congrats on the weight loss!!! I'm glad ya'll are getting settled in. I think you are heading in the right direction with your exercise strategy. You are almost at goal and weight loss isn't as much of a focus as it used to be. I think the weight training will be good for you. Maybe you could just run a couple of times a week instead of 5-8 miles a day, lol. You know I think you ROCK no matter what you are doing. Good to hear from you girlie! Well, thanks! I don't know if I think of myself as a running success, but I appreciate that, lol. I try my best to run 5 times a weeks, usually 3-5 miles each time. I was doing 5 miles everyday, but since starting low carb I have been doing 3 miles. Low carb seems to be working well for me, but I blew it tonight! We went to Outback and I ate terrible! Anyway, I'll start low carbing again tomorrow. I have to give myself off days every now and then or I'll get burned out with it. Hope you feel better soon! Congratulations! I'm glad you are liking the new job! I'm so excited for you!

That sucks MacMadame! Hope it arrives soon.

I'm sorry How long will recovery be?

I wish we had that around here. I can't even find greek yogurt anymore. When walmart carried Oikos greek yogurt, I stocked up because they usually didn't have many in stock. They haven't had any in a month, so I'm assuming they don't carry it anymore. Sooo frustrating!

Okay Renewed....I know you are busy with moving but we need an update! Don't forget about us, lol. How's the moving coming along? Are you able to run yet?

Kathy- Hope you and your hubby feel better soon! I ran 3.2 miles today. I shouldn't have have taken the whole weekend off. DE...you are catching up with me on the challenge. I gotta bust my butt to keep ahead, lol.

Today: 3.2 miles on treadmill (ran the first 1.5, then did intervals) 20 minutes strength training, arms

DE- Congrats! That is a good time! WTG! Mac- Good luck with your 5k! Kathy- Hope hubby feels better soon. Ninner- Congrats on the 28 minute run!! Kristen- Hope you feel better soon. I didn't run all weekend, but that was my plan. I'm hitting it hard tomorrow!

ParaGirl....how's the low carb going?

Thanks Kathy! Low carb is really helping with the scales. My energy is not where I want it but I'm hoping that will change. Congrats on your run! I'm taking the weekend off and will hit it hard Monday. Have a great weekend!

I agree Kristen.....rest up! Feel better soon! Kathy, you are doing soooo great! I am taking the weekend off. I had another stomach virus yesterday (I think). My stomach has been bothering me a lot lately. I started taking Metformin again and I'm wondering if that is why. I'm not gonna take it for a few days and see if that helps. Whosya.....WE WON!!! YAAYYY! My first Nike+ victory....couldn't have done it without ya Whosya! Renewed....hope the moving is still going well. How is your tummy since the revision??

Hey there my fellow Georgian! Welcome to LBT! Best of luck to you!

That is a great idea!! I wish my surgeon had something like that. I usually just donate mine. I use to keep my old fat clothes when I did diets before, but not this time. This time is different!
