I'm totally interested in the exercise videos as well..I'll have to check that out :-)

Just a little bout me: I'm 24, Engaged and have a five year old son from a previous marriage. No other kids, just my one. I have two dogs: one German Shepherd and one Shorkie. My son also has a guinea pig ;) I currently work for in an office which consists of sitting ALL day long...so I probably end up sitting about 11 hours a day. I am also a nursing school student, starting here in just a couple weeks. Spent over a year 1/2 on the waiting list and finally got placed, so I'm very excited about that.

Like is very busy for me....I am constantly doing soemthing from the time I wake up til I go to bed...so I don't have a lot of extra time it seems to do anything...and that will only get worse in a couple weeks when school starts.

I previously lost about 40 pounds back in early 2007...I went from 219lb down to 186...and it only took me six months to pack it all back. I lost the weight because I restricted my calories like crazy and was over deprived or pretty much everything...so I went on a binge of nothing but fast food for months and months. So here I am starting again...this time with the knowledge of what not to do, so that this time will be successful for the long term :) 

Tomorrow I start taking the pill! I am excited, and a bit scared too. But very very ready!

Hope everyone is doing well.

I've had another bad day. First we were having a disaster drill at our hospital, but we were not allowed to leave. Had to eat cafeteria food which wasn't healthy. Second, I returned home to no air conditioner again. Very frustating. They supposed fixed it on Monday and out by Wednesday. I had another unhealthy sandwich. I can't exercise eiather becuase it is way to hot. Hopefully, tomorrow will be better. I did good for breakfast though - LOL

Don't get discouraged it is a work in progress and it has a learning curve.  Tomorrow will be better.  Find some excersizes to do around the house and try again tomorrow.  Chin up!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi....just checking in.  I started Alli on June 6, 2009.  Start weight 183.....current weight is 175.  I am very happy with the results.  I need work on exercising.  Glad to hear from so many June starters.  Together we can do this.  Lynn

I can't for the life of me figure out how to post my ticker.  I get the whole thing done but when I cut and paste I get this:

Can someone help me??  Thanks, Lynn

I usually do at home exercise tapes, but when it is 95 degrees inside your house - I can't bring myself to do them.  Anyway praying the air conditioner works tomorrow.

I'm a June beginer also. As for what I do, or what I did before forced disability (due to chronic lung disease ), was nursing for about 26yrs, I'm 50yr old and I loved every minute of it! I was having a not too great of a day myself today, woke up having a "bad" day (some days I feel good, some not good - today, not good), then I heard on the midday news that a man had just died of the H1N1 Swine Flu in my town-I live in NC-well with COPD and numerous ICU stays in the hospital each year I was a little worried.  But then I just pause a moment to take a deep breath and refocuse and remember that there is always someone who is worse off than me. Cause the one thing I have learned is the sun is still going to come up in the morning, so you pretty much better enjoy today.  And as for exercising, well I can't do that either but because of my heart and lung problems! lol My sister hates it that I have an excuse and I tell her it's the only reason I got this lousey disease!  Don't get frustrared, tomorrow is another day and it will be a beautiful one.

 Hello TashaHenson:

I am interested. I started the pre-diet plan yesterday. My first "pill" day is Friday with weigh-in Saturday. Any suggestions?

Lynn you are pasting the wrong area one is for forums and things like this and one is for actual pages there are two areas on the ticker to copy copy the one that says its for forums not the one for myspace, facebook ect.

Had a pretty good day today I walked my 2 miles again.  took Nikki (my little Yorkie) she did good she went down into the canal to cool off twice so she is going to be fun to bathe and brush but other than that she slowed me down it took me an hour to walk it today yesterday it took me 30 minutes.  I have been eating fairly well I am still having "Treatment effect" from my three day cheesecake binge.  I hate throwing dinner parties because then I am the one that gets stuck eating the leftovers (i loved every bite though).  I have eaten better the last three days but I guess it takes awhile for it to get through your system. :(

Tomorrow is a new begining! Today will be the past! health and happiness are in our reach. Here's to making it last!!

 Hulintate - you put everything into perspective.  Good luck on your illness and weight loss.  Remember you are inspirational to us all.  Thanks for your comments.

As for my air, it's working this morning so knock on wood.  Had a good breakfast and plans for a healthy lunch and dinner.  Yeah!

Awww, thank you for your support! I am sorry about the loss of your mother. :(

Thanks for your comments Shannon - and you can call me Cat - be I really don't try to be inspirational at all , just living as best as I know how. It's funny cause I was just trying to explain that to my 28yr old daughter this am, she called to tell me this little boy George(5yr old) on my grandson's basketball team died of cancer, he'd only been getting chemo about 3 weeks, you just never know.  Yea! for your air, I pray that it keeps working throughout the summer!! Sounds like a good meal day for you, keep up the good work. Tyler, my grandson will be here tonight,mom and dad will be a the wake for George, he will be bringing a happy meal from MCd's so I'm eating a salad with ff dressing.  We will then be watching Mutant Teenage Ninga Turtles - The Movie for the 20th time at least!   Keep up the good work.
