I couldn't ignore all the bat signals on FB! Can't wait to hear what you three ladies and Mackie have planned!
LOL! Bat signals!! Jen is here!!!

I actually got some time to myself to write out a novel about me. Told you I was into details.
I need to take Mackenzie to a birthday party and I'll be back to do some more editing and then let you get to know me a bit and why I'm doing this trip.
Until then!
You are better than me. I write off the top of my head, then edit after I post.
Hope Mackenzie has a great time at the b-day party!
I like their zeal for life!!Having had my own experience with physical therapy I know how you become a close knit group. I had to live in a rehab center for a while and we were a really close group. Anytime any of us had an accomplishment like when I walked for the first time I got applause.
My husband is a cyclist and I frequently am around the Lance Armstrong type of cyclists. They are an interesting group.
Good evening, my friend.
Great start on the back story. I never knew about the pain in your back. I remember how awful Mark's was prior to his neck surgery and can not imagine the pain you were suffering.
Having been in some kind of treatment or PT for about the last 7 months now...I can really relate to so much of what you write!
And feel guilty sitting here reading and typing as I've blown it all off for the past 2 weeks, I needed a break.
And based on your siggie....really good things have been happening for you! I'm looking forward to reading about it. And just had a very funny deja vu thinking about a workout attire item you'd asked about sometime ago! Why in the world that popped into my head just now I have NO idea!
OMGosh Cynthia, I had no idea you were dealing with anything that big. Are you okay? You dont' have to reveal what it is if you don't want to, not everyone is a blabber mouth, open book like I am.
I remember asking you something about your cute yoga outfit you had on, but what exactly escapes me now. Oh boy, Lord only knows what I asked about. OH! I think I remember what it was now!! It was also an item Liesa needed during her running days, if I'm right. Yeaaaa, I wonder what made you think of that all of a sudden?!?
It's an old stupid neck injury that over time has gotten worse and caused some annoying limitations on my activities.
I think I remember you talking about this now.
Not that I hadn't tried before but...sometimes you have to keep trying, get creative and go from there.
Yipper! This is where I got to eventually.
we've been having setbacks which is beyond frustrating. 4 steps forward, 2 back, 4 forward, 3 back.
Oooooh boy do I understand this.
But, big picture I am in much much better shape than I was, lighter and firmer, and feeling better, even if its not quite where I want it to be. Although to be honest, I'd give PT about half the credit and the other to myfitnesspal. LOL!
Yeaaaaa!! You looked really great when I saw you last.
Honestly I have no idea. My brain went something like...

PT
Workout
Workout clothes
Things that go under workout clothes

millie, here i am, at your invitation.. I am honored.
Great start, Camille!
That's so heart breaking about your friend's son. I'm sorry for her loss. But so very inspirational that she honored his wishes to get herself in shape.
I know. It's something no parent should ever have to go through. She's an inspiration to so many.
I'm so proud of you! I completely understand how hard it is to get motivated to lose weight and get in shape. It sure is easier to come up with excuses and reasons why not to, then to stick to it and do it! Congrats on your weight loss and progress!! So happy your back is better!
Thank you Michelle, it's been a haul, and I still have a ways to go, but I feel and look so much better than I had. I'll try and find some older photos and put them up to see the differences.
I've been making excuses for over a year. In the last month my husband and I started losing together. It sure is easier when you have someone to hold you accountable!
That is so sad about your friends son. She is amazing!
I am proud of you, what you are doing is great!!
Since my post was so long to start I left out that Sharon started a weight loss group with a lot of the local women around here as well as one on FB. She had about 25 or so women (for the local group) at one point. There are only about a handful of us left on FB, some live as far as NY. We still check in with one another and post about our highs and lows, and you are sooo right, it really does make a difference when you have a group of people to be accountable to.
Yes, it is a very sad situation, but through it beauty has come out of the ashes in all of this. There have been soooo many people getting help, their lives are being saved and encouraged from being over weight. And thank you for the encouraging words, Michele!! I can't tell you how great it is to hear someone say something about an accomplishment you worked really hard for. It helps because it keeps pushing us along.
Has anyone share Richard Simmon list of things to remind yourself of?
