I'm a major lurker, but I check this board all the time. Lisa, I especially miss your posts. You've always been so encouraging. But, I'm in your boat with the food issues. I'm glad to be where I am weight-wise, but still want to lose another 35 lbs. We'll just have to hang in there together and accept that this is a one-day-at-a-time battle and just because we mess up a few days, it's not an all or nothing thing. (I've been trying to retrain my mind to believe that!) As far as the summer, I'm enjoying the warm weather and dreading the cold weather - just the opposite of what I used to be! Babysitting my 2 year old niece, trying to stay with working out and exercising. I hope this board stays active - it has really encouraged me over the past year. Rebecca 308/165/130

I am here. Just don't have much to say that isn't already said. I am working and having alot of BBQs. We have a large family and some come over to swim & BBQ almost every week-end this time of year. Also, we are making final arrangements for our Maui vacation in Sept. Weight has stayed the same for the last three weeks and only a couple of puunds last month. My eating is still about the same. I don't eat many carbs and no sugar, so it will have to come down sometime, I think, LOL. Have a good camping trip. Sara

Hi Wendy and Lisa, Its nice to hear from you lisa, it seems like I havent seen you as much lately. I figured you were busy with the kiddies. I am have a busy daycare summer. Just taking care of the kids. I have been excercising a lot. I am trying to get ready to do a 10k on Labor day, it is supposed to be the toughtest 10k in the US. It is called the Cobb Classic. It is 6 miles all up and down hills. But I really want to do it. I have upped my walking from two miles a day to 4.2 miles then yesterday I did 4 in the morning and 5 at night for a total of 9 and I broke into the 150s this morning. I was 159. I dont know if it was real because it could have just been water loss from all the walking but it sure was nice to see the 150's I have been in the 160's forever at least it seems like forever. I am going on vacation in August I am going to Utah to go to a week long education conference at Brigham Young University. I am very excited about it. I have wanted to do this for years and just never have gotten around to it. So I am glad that I am finally doing it. Wendy, camping sounds fun. I love to camp, we used to go camping when our kids were little. I really enjoyed it, but my husband never really liked it and so we dont do it now that the kids are grown. He is more of a city boy, I am a country girl. I hope you have fun. I hope everyone is having a fun summer. I have noticed that the boards have been slow. I figure that we are all off having summer fun. Lynn

Ok all. I have noticed a major slowdown in posts on here!! I hope it is all from having such a good time with your life now!! Just want to check in with everyone, I am going camping for 10 days so I won't be here for awhile. Gonna enjoy my camper now that I will fit into everything. Boy those things were not built for fat people!! LOL! Ok reunion time. What is everybody doing this summer? Leave me a note here for when I get back. How are you all doing? This includes you lurkers that only post in a blue moon too!! Wendy

Nice to hear from you Lisa. I haven't seen you post much lately. I hope everything is better for you. I'm gonna be camping for the next 10 days so I won't be posting much either. Love, Wendy
