Hi Hope
Jump rope!!! Too cool I used to love jump rope! Be glad you never had to date let me tell u...I dated for one year and it was enough for me. I move too slow for guys I guess, but its just the way I am. I remember one guy got pissed at me because we were going out for a month and I did not kiss him but he used to creep me out a little its why i did not kiss him... he was like well defined but not overly muscular and sometimes he use to come to see me with his shirt open and even go in public like that!! I think it's somewhat sleazy LOL so i broke it off with him.
I have not started any jogging yet or anything like that..just walking. I got up to 45 minutes and 1.84 miles on the treadmill, and I'm still working on it. I also want to run one day and i plan to take dance classes when I am about 170 or 150. I remember when I was in middle school we had a mile run and the first lap i came in first place ...I even heard this guy say "dam that fat girl can run!!" I was like a size 11/12 or 9/10 at the time HA I wish i was that size now!! Anyways I was only first place on the first lap...i finished the mile run second to last they never even trained us or anything...just one day we went out and they said the state requires us to do a mile run and they made us do it.
I didn't even weigh this weekend!!! I think I'll wait until next weekend. I am sure I lost some weight with diet and now exercise.
Take care everyone, hopefully we will all get our vacations soon. Until then, I leave you with this:
I need a vacation too! Both my knees are in pain, well my right is not really the knee, but around it and it sucks!
Anyone here gonna start running since its starting to get warmer Specially here.
Well Kevi,
sounds like your working your knees, becareful hun. You dont want to hurt yourself ..

You are such a sweet heart. I think going with the flow and seeing what happens sounds like a good idea. I'm sure a long distance relationship is hard. You are doing great sweetie!!!
Ok folks I just did my measurments. It's amazing what 2lbs on the scale actually means when you do measurments.
4/10 Was the last time I did them, and weighed myself.
Since then I have droped 8 inches in my hips!
1 more inch in my waist
1/2 inch in my neck
2 1/2 inches in my arms
and even an inch in my calves
2lbs, that's all, and so much change... Now that's motivation!

Blueiiz Welcome!!! Let us know if there is anything you need help with!
Nataliejo,
Hope things go well with peter today!
Hey guys, do any of you know how to post picks? I don't know if it's suposed to be an attachment, in the post or what. It seems like others can post lots of picks, but I tried to attach two and when I added the third, it kicked the other two off. So I don't think I was doing it right. I want to post in the before after and inbetween section.. Any idea's?

Hello gals and guys,
Well this morning Peter is up at nine am at my house and he is meeting my mom (scared much). She likes to analyze people and get right down to the core root of the person, or what she thinks is. So this is going to be hard. I hope she doesnt drive me too nuts with her "red flags" lol
Does anyone know the "red flag" phenomenon? Am I alone in this?
lol well she wants to pick his brain apart, see how he talks, his gestures to try and find anything that might be wrong with him, that might tell her he is no good. Which is fine, she is just looking out for me. All my bfs have been doozies, even one putting me in debt so I had to go for bankruptcy, but that was a long time ago. I have my credit back, my credit is getting better. I never thought they would give me another credit card, but they did. I only have a 300 dollars limit, but I only use it in emergencies, which is a very good thing, or habit to pick up. But I already have good debt mounting from college, but hey its cool. I am looking forward to working in the bookstore when I am done. I love bookstores and thats actually my goal to work in Barnes n noble or a Borders or the Coup, but I think the Coup in Cambridge only hires people from the school, so that would be a no no, plus I was have to take Mass Transit, and as much as I love Mass Transit, I would have to learn it instantly, although between my ex and my sister I am learning it slowly. South Station, fine. North Station, confused as all hell lol
But anyway so my tops are getting too big and some are too small I have come to find out, some are too long, because I am only 5'6..
today I am wearing a cut denim skirt with a nice shirt and yes white plain sneakers with white bobby socks. We are going to the beach. So I dont want to wear the other shoes, because they are rather uncomfy. I need to ...someday when I have money...which is not going to be for another four years...lol jk ...but someday I have to invest in another pair of nice shoes, ones that actually fit, I hate hurting after wearing the nice shoes. I can't really walk in them, they are more like walking in the store, going to a restaurant, as long as I am not walking through Boston, however, we always seem to be walking Through Boston, so I can't wear them when I visit Joanna, maybe this summer I will look for a good pair, maybe in sketchers ... or something ...
but anyway I have to buy new walking shoes, because the winter ones I bought in March are a dying breed right now...
took a walk yesterday in the boiling hot sun for forty minutes, man was I sweating. Tank top season is on its way, thankfully. Hopefully I will find pretty tank tops and not gross tank tops. I usually find the cheap gross tank tops, I want things that are pretty, as expensive as they are, and wont shrink so fast ... quality... thats about it peeps..
I look forward to seeing Peter, these past couple weeks seem like a lifetime ...
oh well

I'm right there with you. I made a lot of bad mistakes with boyfriends and such growing up. Even one that about 2 years ago was arrested for kidnapping some girl in NY and taking her to Mexico or something horrible. not when he was with me though, thank god >.<!! But my parents were very VERY strict after my boyfriend at 17, whom i found out was a theft and was into drugs... i swear i had no idea for the 6 months we were together, and when i found out he was gone. But yes i have made bad choices. So when i was 19 i met my husband. I live in one state, my parents in another. I didn't tell my parents about him for almost a year. Back of my mind i was trying to figure out what was wrong with him since my parents would. But at my 21st birthday my parents came to visit.. surprise >.< and they met him. Actually they liked him, my dad more than my mom. Turns out he asked my dad if he could marry me when they were down here, then he propsed about a year later.
Anyway nice to have parents watching your back... wish i would have listened to the first dozen men that came in and out of my life. My parents were right about allll of them, and they were right about my man now. I guess parent sjust know things.. okay that's kinda scarey to think. lol
Bok store? I'd love to own one!! I'm a book worm, i just started getting into some kinda twisted serial killer kinda books... okay sounds bad, but really it's very edge of your seat kinda stuff.. and almost like watching a horror movie in my mind LOL
Hope all went well!!!

Welcome to the board Natalie (Blueiiz). My short term goal is to get out of the 200's too....I am hoping I can do it by the end of the year, but I weigh 276 now so that might be pushing it a little You'll make it out of the 200's that's for sure. There is a really beautiful woman on this thread by the name of Ali When she first joined us she was in the early 200's and was out in no time Cameraobscura and Kevi are also almost on their way out of the 200's and the rest of us are losing weight like crazy so you are in good company You will make it!! Of this I am sure
Here's to Artesian water!

and even go in public like that!!
