Good Morning Ladies ( & and Gents Lurking ) Posting early today cuz I know it's probably the start of a busy weekend for alot ..... Got up early & walked 3 miles today. Didn't get a walk in last night forgot my girls had their first game for their soccer club that they belong to. Anyway....how's everyone out there doing????? Haven't weighed yet, but I've been teetering these past couple weeks between 187-189.5 so I don't expect much different for a while.... That's ok.... I'm so happy & thankful for where I am. Oh & good news. My sister, Rose, who lives in Maryland (the one that just got married) just got her date. She'll be joining me & my other sister on the losing bench on my One Year Surgiversary ..... 8/15 YIPPEE Remember to thank someone that serves this weekend. Whether it be military or community.....THEY ARE ALL HERO'S Sooooo.... a song to kick off our Memorial weekend... GOD BLESS THE USA............ If tomorrow all the things were gone . . I'd worked for all my life, And I had to start again . . with just my children and my wife, I'd thank my lucky stars . . to be livin' here today. Cause the flag still stands for freedom . . And they can't take that away. And I'm proud to be an American Where at least I know I'm free And I won't forget the men who died Who gave that right to me And I gladly stand up . . next to you and defend her still today Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land God bless the USA From the lakes of Minnesota ... To the hills of Tennessee ... Across the plains of Texas ... From sea to shining sea ... From Detroit down to Houston ... And New York to LA Well there's pride in every American heart And its time we stand and say.. That I'm proud to be an American Where at least I know I'm free And I won't forget the men who died Who gave that right to me And I gladly stand up . . next to you and defend her still today Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land God bless the USA And I'm proud to be an American Where at least I know I'm free And I won't forget the men who died Who gave that right to me And I gladly stand up . . next to you and defend her still today Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land God bless the USA! Have a wonderful & SAFE Memorial Day weekend.... I may be going up North to see my Daddy so I will post tomorrow, but may not be near a computer to post again until Monday... ENJOY EVERYONE.... ((((HUGS)))) & Tammy 291/284/187-189.5/145 5'4"

Well..... did 40 mins of walking video this morning. (what was I thinking). It was actually kind of taxing. I think 30 mins in the morning is enough. Going to do 30 mins this pm already have my work out clothes on. This month is quickly coming to a close and I am pretty proud of my exercise record. Could have been as succesful without all the encouragement from my August 2005 message board pals. :hugs: I have to put in a little song today. Because I appreciate everyone who (especially Tammy) who has kept this exercise post going. Thank you! And get ready to shake your money maker! Artist: Sister Sledge Lyrics Song: We Are Family Lyrics (CHORUS We are family I got all my sisters with me We are family Get up ev'rybody and sing Ev'ryone can see we're together As we walk on by (FLY!) and we fly just like birds of a feather I won't tell no lie (ALL!) all of the people around us they say Can they be that close Just let me state for the record We're giving love in a family dose (CHORUS x2) Living life is fun and we've just begun To get our share of the world's delights (HIGH!) high hopes we have for the future And our goal's in sight (WE!) no we don't get depressed Here's what we call our golden rule Have faith in you and the things you do You won't go wrong This is our family Jewel As always Have Fun If you can't have fun what is the use?

Hi Dawn, You look fabulous! I didn't recognize you at first. Had to see a couple shots of you from around 8 months out to know it was you! You've done so well. I am very excited for you to be at your goal already. Continue to work hard at the journey, never go back!!! Lori 293/202/135/130
