Does anyone else have hair sticking out everywhere? I look like a FREAK!! I have stubs of hair about 2" long sticking out everywhere, especially in the part of my hair. I stopped losing hair a while back. THANK GOD!! But it looks horrible. I just wanted to vent a little. LOL, Sherry 5'7" 276/181.5/130-140

Hey, Lori and Tammy. I have GOT to get back in gear as well. My husband and I are having a stressful time in our relationship at this point. I guess when you lose weight; you have to deal with issues head on that were being fed by the food. You guys pray for us. I know you all will. Anyway, back to the task at hand. I want to start jogging again and get up to 2 miles a day. I also want to begin a weight training program as well. Especially, after reading your post, Tammy, about the Conference. WOW!! Great info. !!!!!!!!!!!!!PLEASE SHARE MORE!!!!!!!!!!!! May 1: 187 May 2: 188 May 3: 188 May 4: 186 May 5: 185.5 May 6: 183 May 7: 183 May 8: 183 May 14: 188 May 15: 182.5 May 16: 186 Not Again!!

Hi Nancy So good to hear from you. What a process. Glad to hear you're doing better. Keep us posted on your recovery. My prayers are with you. ((((HUGS)))) Tammy

I LOVE Carrie Underwood! Thanks for sharing that with us. What a perfect song for our journey! I am walking 2.5 miles today at lunchtime. It's gonna be B-E-A-utiful here today! As it has been all week!! I am actually wearing a miniskirt today! Whoo Hoo! Well not too mini... just above the knee. But a skirt nonetheless! I would never have worn one 98lbs ago! eeek! I weighed 183 again this morning. I have really upped my water and am staying away from snacks. Three meals a day with a piece of fruit in the afternoon. Although I did have popcorn last night! I am determined to lose at least 3 more lbs by next Wednesday to put me at 101lbs lost. That is the day of my 9-month check up. I was 207lbs at my 6-month check up in February. So, I guess I better keep my butt in gear! Take care and try and have a great day! I know things are still pretty sad for you all. I am praying for you! Lori 281/183/140
