  1. For the last month or so, I've been going to the gym regularly and walking on the treadmill. I've consistently walked a little more than 3 miles in an hour each time, and have been happy with that. Today, I decided to be brave and kicked up the speed on the treadmill and RAN for a little while! Granted, I ran no more than 1/4 mile at a time, but I did that 4 times over the course of my hour on the treadmill. I haven't RUN anywhere in 20 years, and it felt pretty darn good!

  5. I was at 225.0 on Friday 7/24
  6. LOL...that's a good way to look at it. Unfortunately, I don't have enough restriction to even be ABLE to get stuck, slime, etc....not that i want to, but there are times I should have, but didn't. Enjoy your time in Baltimore anyway....we just have to remind ourselves that food does not have to control us or how much fun we have. :confused:

  14. Good job to everyone! I totally forgot to post my last weeks' weight and haven't been online all week, so it is exciting to see how well everyone is doing. Lingling - my Friday, June 26 weigh in was 230.6 and today, July 3 - I am at 227.6. Little by little...we'll get there! Everyone have a wonderful weekend!
  15. KMCD: Keep your chin up - we are all going to have "family reunions" or other events, incidents, etc that are going to cause us to get off track for a day, a few days.....but don't give up. Get back on track tomorrow! A few weeks ago, I had a Saturday night when I went to TGIFriday's for dinner and ate 2 cheeseburger sliders and then later, went to Coldstone Creamery for ice cream. I gained 2 lbs that weekend, and I was so mad at myself. The ice cream was not worth the 2 lbs. This journey is all about baby-steps and the more steps we take, the easier it will get. Sometime soon, you will go to an event and the sweets will not control you. Tomorrow is a new day, so hang in there!
