georgia girl

Leslie, that sounds so fun! DH and I took the youth group from church there a couple of months ago and played laser tag. It was sooooo fun. Wonderful NSV! Bet it felt great!! Oh, I have a good one too. I officially weigh less than DH! I am thrilled because I have weighed more than him for almost ten years. Granted, he is a lot taller than me, but still....I WEIGH LESS!!! HAHAHA I can say that to ya'll, lol. I would never rub it in his face like that though. It's just nice to be able to share this kinda stuff with ya'll.

Welcome back Leslie!! I hope they have everything figured out and I hope you start feeling like yourself again. I missed ya! Kathy~ I'm so excited for you! Can't wait to hear about the 5k Sunday! Renewed~ Camping sounds so fun!! I told DH when he retires, we are going to get an RV and hit the road....he just laughs at me.

Thanks girl! I've been missing reading your posts.

Definitely!! It's gonna be hard, but I'm hoping to lose these last 80 lbs faster than the first. I'm just gonna work as hard as I can and hopefully now that I've upped my exercise so much, it will come off faster. Yeah, I think we can talk our DH's into it...

WTG Lyn! Great job! Happy Birthday Mamato!! Hope you have a wonderful day! I did not get to run yesterday and it makes me moody when I miss one, lol. Between church yesterday morning and evening, we had a family reunion that seemed like it lasted an eternity, lol. Anyway, I will be going to the gym later this afternoon to do my run. I'm striving to go longer than 15 minutes, even if it's just by a minute. Everyone is doing really good! Keep up the good work!!

Good to hear from you Kristi. Great job on the weight loss! You're doing great! georgia girl (aka Pamela)~ 100 lbs leslie2lose (aka Leslie) - 45 lbs jbrad71629(aka Jeannie)-87 lbs Nip50 (aka Gina) - 136 lbs kristim8132008 (aka Kristi) - 30 lbs mia31771(aka mia) 69lbs

LOL Kathy! Thanks.....love the smiley playing the piano with the dancing banana! I'm definitely hearing bells and whistles! Thanks again!

Renewed~ I am so incredibly proud of you! I know I commented on the other thread, but I think it's worth mentioning again.....YOU ROCK! I hope I am able to run the whole 5k in November. I know I won't be placing, but for the first one, all I care about is finishing. I'm already thinking of signing up for another one in December. You really inspire me, so thanks for that. LOL about DH calling you a bada$$! You truly are, lol!

Thanks bestest band buddy! I couldn't have done it without YOU. All the PM's about not losing and plateaus....I can't count the times you have encouraged me to keep going! You're the best! And I think we will meet one day. We should make it a priority after we both get to goal. Kind of a reward for making it type thing.... Thanks luluc! Your workout routine really inspires me. You do a little of everything and it's amazing!! Thanks Indiogirl! You also inspire me. You have done a wonderful job! Thank you kristi! I looked back a my before picture today and I don't even recognize that person anymore. I am so much happier and healthier. Thanks again! Thanks Nip! I'll bet you'll be at goal by your bandiversary! You have done AMAZING! It's very inspiring!!

Thanks Renewed! Couldn't have done it without YOU! I posted this on the Bagnato thread but I'll say it here too. One year ago today, I got winded just walking to my car......seriously! Today I can run almost 1.5 miles straight! I am so blessed and thank God for helping through this year. Thanks friend! Thanks luluc! I'm sooooo happy! I will definitely check out that thread! Sugarbean~ Thank you! I'm glad to hear from you. How are you doing? Don't be a stranger, okay.

Today is my 1-year Bandiversary and I couldn't be more pleased with my results so far. As of today, I am officially 100 pounds down! I'm so excited I could scream!! My hard work over this past month has paid off. I feel better than I have felt in 10 years. When I look back where I was a year ago, I am just amazed at the difference. A year ago I got winded just walking to my car and now I can run almost 1.5 miles straight! I'm starting to tear up as I type this because I am just so happy. You guys have been a tremendous help, through the losing spurts and the awful plateaus. Thanks for the support everyone! Couldn't have done without ya'll.

Today is an exciting day for me. It's my bandiversary and I have officially lost 100 lbs!! As of today, I made my halloween goal, so I am going to change my goal to 220. 10 more pounds to go!

:thumbup: I've officially lost 100 lbs!!!! :eek: I'm soooo excited! I got up this morning wondering what the scale would say and wondering if I would be disappointed if I didn't make my goal. I weighed 230.1! What a wonderful Bandiversary!! Renewed~ Wow!! You rock!! I knew you would do FANTASTIC!! You, my friend, are simply amazing! Great job!! Did you get pictures? If so, I think you should post them. Again, congrats! Oh, did you hear Rocky music? LOL

Good luck Renewed!! You can do it!! I can hear the Rocky music already!

Thanks luluc!! I can't believe a week ago I was struggling to do 5 minutes! Even if the scale doesn't say 230, I'm still proud of my accomplishments. Thanks again!!

Welcome health! You'll be fine. I was never a runner but I love it now. Good luck! Kathy~WTG! I wouldn't worry about time right now. You have plenty of time to work on that. You are doing great!! Renewed~ Sounds like you and your kids had a blast!! Good luck tomorrow! luluc~ Ughhhh! That would be a disaster to live in! I'm sure you'll look back at it later and laugh it off.....or maybe not, lol. Anyway, hope it gets straightened out soon. I did my run at the gym this morning. I've worked up to 15 minutes straight. I didn't weigh today so everyone keep your fingers crossed that I weigh 230 tomorrow (bandiversary). I want that scale to tell me I've lost 100 lbs!!!

Glou, I did the same thing! I saw some ladies that weighed less than me and I said, "Surely I don't look that big". DH said I didn't, bless his heart for making me feel better. I think a lot of it has to do with height, muscle mass, and the way we carry weight in general. Maybe these women are just really short???

I love the Biggest Loser! I am always amazed at the massive amount of weight they lose in the first week. I also hated to see the green team go. They were so hard working. They looked great at the end though. I don't have a favorite yet either. I'll have a better feel for them in a few weeks.

Thanks nip! I am so determined to lose 2 more pounds by Saturday (my bandiversary)! Although I was hoping to have lost more, I always said that I wanted to lose at least 100 lbs by my one year bandiversary. BTW, I think you are the Queen of the Bandits, lol! Your weight loss success has encouraged me when I felt like giving up. Congrats!!

I know! I am determined to lose those 2 pounds by Saturday (my bandiversary)! Mamato~ Good for you! Jillian Michaels is probably just as good as running, if not better! She one tough girl, lol! Ya'll have had a rough go of it, haven't you? I hope things calm down soon and I'm praying your hubby recovers well. Keep us updated. It's really good to hear from you. I went to the YMCA today and I was able to increase my run by a minute. I ran for 13 minutes straight! Wow, I can't believe it! A week ago I was struggling to run 5 minutes. Heck, I couldn't even complete day 1 of week 1!! Seems unreal to me. Even though I'm doing my own thing with the running now, I'm so glad I started this program. It was a wonderful way to get me started.

Thanks girl! I'm so glad to be losing again. It's been a long time coming. That's wonderful that all 3 of you are running! I will be running again today and I am anxious to see how long I can run today. I hope to run longer than 12 minutes.

Down 2 more pounds!!

luluc~ Plateaus can be sooooo frustrating. Congrats on breaking yours!! Whosya~ Interesting link. Thanks for posting it!

Mamato~ You can do this!! Start slow and build back up. We will be looking for your posts daily. Glad to hear from you. How is your hubby doing? Better, I hope. Take care and keep in touch. Kathy~ Congrats on entering the 5K! It will be here before you know it! Tootie~ You are doing great! Keep up the wonderful work!! Renewed~ Good for you! If I had known you wanted a jogging stroller, I could have gotten you one for $20. My SIL asked us to sell it for her at our yard sale the other week. It was nice too, like a $200 stroller, I think. I'm actually kicking myself for not buying it from her, lol. Anyway, that's wonderful that your hubby is running with you. I've been trying to get mine to run and he's just not into it. Lyn~ You are right, it is mental. You can do a 5k! The way you have progressed is simply amazing. Can't wait until we all have ran a 5k!

Whoooo Hoooooo Kathy!! That's WONDERFUL!! Congratulations to you. You are rockin' this!!
