    You can not win 2 months in a row.

    We go off topic a lot with chit chat so if you will have a problem with that and will complain (people have in the past) PLEASE do not join.

    You will come to this thread for tips, recipes, encouragment and {{{{HUGS}}}}}}

    The prize is a themed FQ. At the end of the month the people who didn't lose as much weight will contact the BIGGEST loser/winner for their information and sent them the themed FQ.

    April showers bring May flowers this months FQ theme is.........FLORAL. As always if you can not send floral send what you have.

    Eat healthy, exercise, try and lose weight but most of all have fun!!!!!!!!!!!
    OK, I'm in.

    My official weigh in for April is 263. I write it down here because it keeps me honest so I don't try to fool myself. I am so good at negative self-talk, etc. I will talk myself into quitting...what I am learning in this journey is to NOT GIVE UP. I have not won the FQ as the best loser, but that is no longer the point for me, I have NOT GAINED ANY WEIGHT IN 6 MONTHS!


    What a victory!

    Lisa,
    So glad to see you back. What are you reading now? I just finished the second book in the Happiness Key series, Fortunate Harbor (by Emilie Richards). It was even better than the first. They should be available in your public library.

    Nevens-nona--I can't even imagine the pain of losing a child and my heart goes out to you.

    BUT I did have to turn 60 three days ago and I went in kicking and screaming so I know exactly how you feel on that point. Of course my younger brother--only three years younger--doesn't help by calling me and leaving me messages the say "Sixty--that's REALLY old, really, really old". So far it's been okay but I'm not happy about it yet! LOL

    I took a 1 hour walk right after I signed up thanks to this challenge. It's nice to be in a group for support!
