I like to walk while my sons are playing baseball at the park...so I listen to kids playing and the sounds of nature....

I listen to I heart radio. Usually something upbeat that i can hum along to so no one at the gym hears me singing! Lol. Right now tho, im listening to the sound of silence becausr my electric is out. I see the workers' lights tho, so hopwfully soon we'll be up again. Just gotta say tho, this sux! Im so missing Ghost Hunters on tv tonite!!!!!!

Thanks, Larry for all the work you do for us - You ROCK!

I updated the chart on Sunday morning' date=' the only time I had to get to this week, you probably posted after I uploaded the chart. I will add any postings next week. Since I tend to work on the chart on the weekends if the weigh in day is on Saturday or Sunday it tends to be a week behind.[/quote']

Sorry Larry! I was having computer problems n didn't c my post.then I just jumped the gun n looked at the chart..you do an awesome job n I appreciate it!!! I hope I didn't come off bratty to u,:(

Larry,

I know the challenge is half way through the month, but I would love to get in on it now. I need to get on track. I have been traveling a lot lately and been absolutely awful with my eating. Just got back from visiting New York and wow I was a bad girl!! I did run a 10K yesterday though, so I was pretty proud of that.

Unfortunately I am starting out at 173 for the challenge. Only 2 weeks left, so I will make my goal 167. My personal goal for the month is simply to get back to nutritious eating and get back into the groove on my exercize routines as well.

What day is weigh in day??

Larry checking in today at 189.6 and a big smile too !

I am at 246 as of last weigh in day! Still 4 more to go for the month.

Same. 179.

I had a surgery on the 3rd. Hoping the scale will start moving again soon and after my 2 week post op this week, I'll be able to start moving again, at least start walking.

Jewelene...checking in at 234.8...already passed my goal of 235 for the month yay!
