It's way too hot in my apartment to do any exercise inside

45 min walking outside

nutrition 1570/48- on target

Jayne: Congrats on 40 lbs that's awesome.

Patti: Good luck with your surgery. I'll be thinking about you.

Hello Patti,

Just wanted to say I hope all goes well with your hip replacement surgery. I also wanted to let you know that I'll be praying that  you have a successful surgery and a speedy recovery as well.

Hello Ladies,

Just checking in to see how everyone is doing. All is well with me but this abnormal psychology class is killing me. I have papers due each week and of course I wait until the last minute to complete them. Anyways I need some advice on what exercise machines I should be working on at the gym?  I am trying to tone my body, decrease my hip size and flatten my abs... so any advice would be greatly appreciated. Forgot to add I just re-started my Alli diet yesterday and will re-start the pills this Friday. My first weigh in will be on July 31... one day before I turn 40 (Aug. 1).

Don't forget me for the next group challenge!! (Please)

Thanks,

Skye68

I've enjoyed all the comments about statistics ...   I guess misery loves company!  Actually, the class I'm attending is very practice-oriented so learning this and applying it could be very useful in my job.  It must also be causing insomina since I'm quite wide awake at 1:30 AM!!

Patti - I don't even know what an acetabulum is but I'm praying for a quick recovery and no weight gain.  I would also be concerned that a major event in my health would cause a weight gain ... the weight gain is unhealthy and anyone going through something like a hip replacement wants better quality of life and a healthy weight is part of that.  Wishing you the very, very best (and, of course, matching jammies and robes!!). 

Jayney - 40 lbs since Feb ... that's awesome!  Whatever goals you've met or haven't met, you've got to feel good about 40 lbs. (ever) but especially in that lengh of time!

Jane

Thanks everyone, I did hit the 40 mark this morning! So if I can somehow squeeze out two more pounds before Saturday, I'll be to 230 before I fly out ---- YES!!!!!!

This program and lifestyle change that I have gone through is........well, I don't know how to describe how I feel! The other day my son made the comment  --- why was I wearing make-up all of the time now? Well, my response was because I feel so much better about myself and I feel great and I felt like it. Notice how many I's there are in that sentence?! Learning how to put me into the picture and not just the kids! As a single mom I've always put the kids first, well, the kids will be graduating and out of the house in 2 & 3 years, and it'll be just me and I  will get to do what I want to, for a change -- so I'm learning how to do that now! Anyway, you gals have been such a huge help and it's been with your encouragement and thoughtful and helpful advice that I've stayed strong and gotten to where I am today! Bless you all!

The 40 pound mark - you go, girlfriend!

I am so happy for you.  When I read your post I got all goosebumpy!  I would take you out for a celebratory lunch but since we live so far apart I will have an alli meal in honor of you :-)

HUGS
Patti

Yep, my celebratory lunch consisted of ff yogurt and granola!

Thanks!
