[Ranaesheart]

So nice to see and hear from all of you .. the spirit in this community, the encouragement and honesty that is shared is inspiring!  Going to take my walk .. yes, even I need to be kicked out and told to walk .. lolll  

It is most amazing to see this team effort.  

Bet ~ Nope, we've not lost our crew but have noticed weekends are a little slower, probably due to outside activities and family.  Think we have a whole crew of cheerleaders!!!  

CC ~ I'll have coffee with you any time .. but this morning it is mango tea with cardamom .. mmmmm mmmmm mmmmm

Barb ~ So sorry for the sorrow you're experiencing .. gentle ((hugs)) and heartfelt wishes for your healing.  Am so proud of you for jumping right back on and taking care of you.

Skailark ~ or should I say Mr Drill Sergeant .. lolll   Thanks for all the continued motivation, encouragement and those nudges forward .. surrounded by humor ...

Red ~ Your "stick to it-ness" and constant perseverence is inspirational!  Thanks for stopping by, working your plan and being such a welcoming ambassador!  Yes .. I see the welcome notes you send .. how caring you are.

twehner ~ Love how you "told" on yourself to get that nudge from Skailark .. if that's not being accountable and doing what needs done, don't know what is.  Welcome to the community and continue walking.  Take care of your knee, perhaps a brace .. and bicycling and swimming are both low impact knee exercises .. if you can implement or change them out for the walking now and then.

wonko and Trudie ~ How was your weekend?  You two have experienced such success and offer much to the group ... thanks so much for being here and for sharing.

Hope I caught everyone .. am off to work for a LONG day!!  Please continue to help and support each other .. the spirit you emit is contagious and is your gift to your community mates ...

(((Hugs))) and Sunshine wishes for a beautiful week ..
Ranae

PS - Watch for the Halloween Party this week ... details to follow shortly ... time to socialize, get to know each other and support each other ...

Nice to see some of our  people here. I was beginning to worry that we've  lost our crew. So glad that everyone is in good spirit and I hope that others will give us a shout to let us know that they are still with us.

Barb135 present!!
Ended up being a tough week - couple of deaths to deal with  Hoping to get rested over the weekend and back on track again.  

I usually try stop in once or twice a day just to see what's going on.  

Ok Skailark - I need some of your "drill sergeant" attitude to get focused again.  
Thanks.  Ya'll have a great weekend.  

[Skailark]

My weekend has been really good.!! Hope everyone is having a great day!

[Red2008]

Red is here. I usually stop by a few times during the day.
Nice to see you all. How is your weekend going?

Have a great day.
: P

[Skailark]

That's the spirit! Keep going lady!

[twehner5]

Cheerleader?...more like Drill Sergeant.  Yes, sir!  I'm getting my warm clothes and walking shoes on ASAP. I knew by putting that on here, I'd have to walk. It's still 45 degrees - I guess it's not going to get much warmer.  But...I'm stalling. Quit listening to me, I need to walk.  Really, thanks.

[Skailark]

Hey! you know what? you shud probably go and take that walk....but we wud hate to see you hurt yourself! you rock on girl! I will be your cheerleader!

[twehner5]

Thanks!  I went to your profile page. In reading about you, you sound like somebody who'd be nice to have in my corner. Why are you such a nice guy? The world needs more nice guys. Now, tell me to go out and take my walk - even though it WILL kill my knee!

[Skailark]

Ranaesheart - Reporting to duty! Skailark is ready rearing to go!!!

twehner5 - Welocme to the community! wow! aren't we glad to have you here!

[twehner5]

Hi!  I'm new and I'm here on Sat.  I've yo-yo'd with my weight my whole adult life. A couple years ago, I lost 70lbs, but last Dec. I slowly began gaining again. I could NOT stop the train.  I almost gave up.  It got back up to 31 lbs back on, and now I'm back down to 24 lbs back on.  I still lack a true positive feeling about doing this!  It seems I can lose weight, but once I hit bottom, I CANNOT maintain. I never quit exercising. I am literally in the best shape of my adult life. I keep running into you on MedHelp.  You are really an inspiration. I hope to learn how to post and respond. I really don't get this!!! Can an old dog learn new tricks  ; )

[Ranaesheart]

This is too funny .. was wondering how the heck you show the ticker ... and voila .. there's a little blue pointer that says "Show Ticker" ... LOLLL

[Ranaesheart]

Trudie ~ Coffee .. I almost forgot coffee!  WoWWW .. think I'd better go remedy that .. loll  MedHelp is the first place I go in the morning, albeit one little stop first .. ha haa ha

wonko ~ We have missed YOU and I am so sorry you have not been feeling well.  Hopefully, with you feeling up to and accomplishing the stair master this morning, you're well on your way to being 100%.  

Now, on to the most important stuff .. C - O - N - G - R - A - T - U - L - A - T - I - O - N - S  to Y - O - U ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !  Absolutely Awesome Jobs, Ladies!!!!  Below 180's is a remarkable feeling and losing 41 lbs is just incredible!  What role models you both are for others .. showing everyone this is do-able .. with effort, dedication, steadfast determination, believing and focusing on your success ... and staying ever in tune with your MedHelp friends.  Am sooo happy for YOU BOTH and YOUR effort!!!

Thanks for "shouting out" .. certainly hope you each enjoy a lovely weekend!

[wonko]

Wow, I'm rusty!  Forgot to have my ticker!  I'm so excited it's finally in the 220's (barely).  I hope to stay out of those 230's where I was stuck for awhile!

Great job beating the 180's, Trudie!

[TrudieC]

Trudie here!  Just doing my usual coffee and MedHelp to get started.  Very happy that it looks like my weight is staying below the 180 mark now.  Have a great weekend!

[wonko]

Wonko, present!

I've been quiet for a bit, I've not been feeling well, which is why I didn't join the challenge.  On a bright note, I recently reached the -40 lb mark!  (As of yesterday, I'm at -41 lbs!)

That was a much needed boost.

I just did an aerobic workout (30 minutes on a stair master), something I haven't been up to doing much lately.  I'm beat, but glad I did it.

Hope everyone has a great weekend!
