Hey guys
I've been a major challenge slacker... sigh!

I know Auntie Flow is coming to visit ONE OF THESE DAYS (grrrrrrr) but I somehow managed to gain back up to 187!!! I don't know what's wrong with me!! lol.
I've been having nuts since Thrusday (I don't tolerate them very well) and I pretty much ate a whole low-carb cheese cake Friday and Saturday that didn't even taste good.

Anyway, you all seem to be doing good!!

I joined the New Mexico Road Runners and we start running on the 28th so hopefully this will help me get my butt into gear. I'm also going to enter the local Run for the Zoo which is a 5k, so hopefully something good will come out of it...

ttfn

I will have Geoff take a new pic of me today after he gets home from work. I'd take my own pic now, but my hair is greasy, I need a shower, and I'm sitting here in a Grateful Dead shirt and basically look like poo.

I'm off to do a 5 mile run in a bit...

Can you explain something - and I've been curious about this for a couple weeks... what's the point in joining a group like the road runners? Like, I was going to join NYRR or NJRR, but then there are the separate running clubs which are recognized by the RR... and then you get discounts off registration at races... but since I don't live in the area where I do the 5ks, I don't get in on the bi-weekly runs or whatever... so is there something I'm missing (besides the 10% discount at some running store)??

The point for me is motivaton to get my a** moving.
Also, it's a way to meet new people who have similar interests/goals.
And for me, they train at the park right down the street from my house so that works well...
As to any discounts anywhere I could care less...

ah... so basically you joined for all the things I can't participate in since I live far away from them. :P

lol yeah guess so...
Maybe you could start something in your town?? I know I wouldn't have enough will or patience to do that but who knows, it could be fun.

There used to be a running club in Princeton. Honestly, I don't have the time to try and start something. I wish there was a really easy one to go to that had runs like, friday evenings. I'd love that. But no, so I go to the shore to run races on Saturdays and train at the gym whenever I have time.

Good Morning Everyone,

Sorry I checked in sooooo late. Hope you guys/gals had a nice Easter.
My weight was 155 this morning... I sort of expected that with TOM here.
I usually gain 5 pounds. It's OK. I won't die today. I'm expecting better
results next Monday. This is just temporary bloat - it doesn't phase me.

Yes... I need to get new pictures in too... so, let's all try to get our new
and improved pics in by the end of the week. If you just took yours...don't
worry. But, mine was taken months ago. It's time for a new one.

Hi! Is there anyway that you all woluld let me join you. I think that I can do this and I really need a challenge. I have a family vacation June 17- July 1st and I have not seen my family for 2 years. I really need to look better than I do now. Also I plan on staying on the WOE during my vacation and I know it is going to be a huge challenge because everyone already thinks that I am just on another one of my diets and will fail in a few weeks. (that is what I usually do) but not this time.

Can I join?
let me know please!
Kelly

Kelly, sure, come join us! Cher is the boss of the challenge, but I'll let you sneak in through the fence...

Just post a starting pic, starting measurements and weight, and update weekly. How many pounds would you like to lose for this challenge? I think most of us are setting our goals for 15 pounds, but you can choose any number you like.

For measurements, we used www.fittogether.net which is a great site. You can save your measurements and compare the new with the old.

Kelly,

It's great to have you on the team with us. Thanks Julie...if I'm the boss... we're all in trouble

I can't find the charger for my digital camera... Poor excuse...I know. I've been to 2 stores to buy another one and no one has it yet. I'm still looking. This time I'll call around. It's a brand new camera, I can't believe it! If I don't find it I'll borrow my sisters. But, we don't know how to work her's either . Silly girls.

Oh well, I'm sure when you get your pic taken, you'll look MAHVELOUS, dahling! Geoff will be taking pictures as soon as he gets home, so don't expect haute couture from moi. I look sort of like a hippie bag lady...

Julie,

I don't think it's possible for you to look like a hippie bag lady...lol !
