~*~*~ WEDNESDAY ROLL CALL~*~*~

Good Morning Everyone, well it is that time again. If nothing else, I will post this on Wednesdays. I willl try to do it more often, but well you tell me if you would like to answer these a little more often. Questions for today.....drum roll please..... 1) What is your favorite food right now? 2) How much exercise do you get each week? and what are you doing? 3) What is the one thing you can't wait to do when you reach your goal weight? My answers: 1) My favorite food, PICKLES!!!! No, I am not pregnant, but I can't seem to get enough of them. It is the only thing that I have really been craving. 2) Exercise - well, I wish I did a little more than I am, but I work out with my personal trainer 2 times a week, Yoga on Wednesdays, and walking on our treadmill at least 2 times a week. I guess it is a little better when I write it out. I just have done anything for the past 2 days so I am feeling a little guilty. 3) Funny, immediately I would usually say wear a bikini, but last night one of my favorite shows started again, "Dancing with the Stars". I told my husband that I want to take lessons and someday compete in Ballroom Dancing. I think it is the most elegant, graceful thing. So, what can you tell me about you??????? Have a great day everyone!!!! Jeanna

Hey, Jeanna - yes, I've been looking the past few days and sad to see no one posting on the June board. I'm really interested in how everyone is doing. 1) I don't know that I have a favorite food right now. I'm sick of all the usual stuff I'm eating - chicken, cheese sticks, etc. I've made a few bad food choices (bad carbs) -- tasted great but didn't like how I felt. So, I don't like food much right now. It's so boring. 2) I try to walk almost every day on my pond walk (taking my dogs around our rentention pond). The only reason I miss it is storms or kid-related activity at pond walk time. I've also started going to the gym Mondays and Wednesdays and I'm shooting for at least one more day. I do the weight circuit and then I did 15 minutes on the olyptical on Monday. 3) Such an interesting question - probably buy a new outfit or something like that.

Hey Jeanna - 1. Favorite Food - prob. cause it's so easy & has 20g. of protein, choco peanut butter pure protein bar. Just love them w/ a cup of coff. 2. Well - not doing nearly as good as you - just walking when I can fit in - I have 8yr. old twins who have lots of activities starting right now - I am involved in almost all of them - I know excuses don't work - Now that we have our routine down for getting up for school, I am going to get up 1/2 hr. earlier & do my gazelle - have to dust it off first - probably w/ a shovel!!! I avg. 2-3 x's week walking. 3. WOW - this is a loaded ?? - I have reached some of my goals - like crossing my legs when I sit, dancing w/ my children w/out having to sit after 1/4 of the song and went to the beach w/out hiding behind our truck. I guess I'd really like to have people recognize me instead of having to look twice at my distorted face and know it's me. These were GREAT ???'s - makes you think & putting in writing I realize I'm doing pretty darn good for only being 13 wks. out!!! Have great rest of day. Kathleen

Well it's Thursday here but hey..... what's a day lolol. 1. My favourite food right now is pretty much anything I can eat easily LOL 2. I try to go to the gym three times a week. My workout depends on what time I get there and what's happening at home... we often have the grandkids over for dinner. I tried to go in the mornings but that doesn't happen often... so I go after work. I spend time on the treadmill, do a few of the machines, then back on the treadmill to finish off with. 3. Parachute. I have always wanted to parachute or bungee jump but was too worried about the 'strings' breaking. Now I think I'm getting on a bit for bungee jumping so want to parachute. I would also like to scuba dive. Always wanted to do that but the thought of trying to find a wetsuit to fit was embarassing to the max and I would think with my luck some damn shark would be swimming by and say.... wowowow look at the size of that seal... and I'd be a gonner. lololol

Good morning. Hope everyone is doing well. 1) What is your favorite food right now? I seem to be eating lots of nuts. Almonds, peanuts mostly. Yumm! 2) How much exercise do you get each week? and what are you doing? M-F I use the treadmill at work for 20 minutes. I also use hand weights to work on my bat wings. We have been taking longs walks around the neighborhood. 1.5 hours one night. Boy was I pooped. 3) What is the one thing you can't wait to do when you reach your goal weight? Earlier this year we went on a cruise to Mexico. They had a shore excursion called Jungle Canopy Tour. It was ziplines in the trees of the jungle and you zip from tree to tree. Well there was a weight limit of 250lbs. I was 291lbs at the time. I could do that tour right now at 238lbs. yipeee!!!! Michelle in SoCal

1. Favorite food: I really don't have one. I'm not enjoying anything I'm eating. I'm eating mostly for fuel. It's okay. I'm not upset about it or anything, it's just different than before. 2. Exercise: 4-5 days a week. Eliptical, stationary bike, core strengthening, weight training. I've joined the 50 mile exercise challenge that some of the guys on the Men's message board run. I'm shooting for 75 this month. 3. Can't wait to: I want to travel freely. I want to go to Europe with my wife and not worry about flying because of the seats. That's my greatest wish.

I'm always late for stuff. It's Friday, but I'll jump in anyways. 1. Favorite food - I am also bored with everything lately. Shrimp is okay though, high in protein--high in cholesterol though, but since my last bloodwork my LDL cholesterol was very low 2. Exercise - well I don't do anything structured (money, time, motivation) but I have been painting the house about 3 times a week and going for walks about 3 times a week. I think trying on new clothes is exercise too 3. Goal weight - I would like to try parasailing. I wouldn't before because I was also afraid the gear would break, or that I would embarass myself.

1. Lamb cooked in the crockpot with carrots! 2. Not doing as well as I could with exercise. I'm walking the dogs 30-45 minutes 3-4 times a week. 3. Sky diving and/or horseback riding, both activities with weight limits.
