LOL!I been catching up,looks like a busy few days.We got babies coming,lots of walking and chit chating.I pray for Texas too and all who are going thru tough times.Irishrose,I pray too for you especially.That's got to be tough.And here we have nancia!!!!!!What the heck?It's ok to stray a bit.I done it too.But when I gained my 15 pounds,I got it right back off.I lost 3 pounds thus far this month.So am moving again.And we got to get you down past the 200 mark.you been sitting there long enough.Take the plunge and get that 5 pounds off.AND KEEP IT OFF!That will put you at 195ish.I saw a gal on utube last night {funny as hell} and her channel is 'macomarell's channel' and 'Calorie Restriction Lifestyle' or as she likes to call herself "The Skinny B's" as in bitches.She's a hoot.About our age,and has lost 100 pounds.Check her out,she's funny.She has reciepes etc.She talked to her kitchen utinsils that are like the chef and another one a holding a wine bottle.That was funny.Anyway,Ya,I want to see 5 pounds off your butt this month.No reason why you can't do it.'I want to' don't do it.You have to do it.Like getting into a cold pool.It's a bitch getting in,but once your wet,your warm all over.Same here,once you get in the one unders,you'll sail on down the channel of weight loss wondering why you took so long.Count calories,go on a 1500 calorie a day eating.Pick foods that fill you up and keep you full.Do 5 days on,and 2 days off.Or 6 days on and 1 day off.Or even every other day at 1500 calories.Or.go on the spirutein for 2 meals and eat dinner w/ hubby.I know you can do that one.You'll drop weight like mad this month just doing that.Plus it will give you energy.So you should be at 195 at a minimum at the end of this month,if not in the 180's.Now wouldn't that make your day?You'll feel so much better,and only be 20? pounds behind me.Now LET'S GET ER DONE NANCIA!You CAN do it.YOU CAN do it!You CAN DO IT! YOU CAN DO IT. And so can the rest of you.And THAT goes for me too.especially me too.I been dillydallying long enough at the 160LB range.I moved 3 pounds this month,so am working hard at it.You can do it too.If we can.nancia and I will be battling for the finish line when she gets down to where I am now.I know she can do it,she's done it already,and is doing it now.Like all of you are.Just the fact that we are all here is the right step in the direction we are going.It's time to stop the baby steps,and start moving down the scales.That's what I told myself yesterday.And I'm bound and determined I'm going to finish this to the end,I may not be running and skipping,but even if I have to crawl all the way down,I'm going to finish this!Now,as nancia says,lets all take an oar an start paddling down stream!I'm in,how bout you?nancia's in,anybdyy else?yes,yes,good.Let's get these challenges out of the way so we can continue on...............
