hey, dena! hope things are going well for you!
i didn't make round 1 goal. made bad decisions at a conference all last week and blew weigh-in to right back where i started the transformer. now i have twice to lose for round 2! i joined another db today in hopes that it would help with the motivation. it's a "moms" db, but i don't have kids! i picked it because the hosts seem really active on the boards.

Boy, that must be really difficult - it's hard enough getting in the gym time with one job. I give you an awful lot of credit. I never have enough time to get everything done ... work, chores, gym, time with the pups, time with friends ... something always suffers. Some people can do it all - this amazes me. I'm really disappointed was feeling good about myself, the weightloss and the progress, and I stepped on the scale this morning - some how I am back up to where I stared this DB! I must be retaining some mega water. Diet hasn't been bad, and I've been working out. I'm baffled.I really wish I didn't see that this morning. My clothes fit well still - very confusing, and disappointing. :\

Thank you. .. it is very hard to juggle all the things in life. Many times I am picking them off the ground and starting over. The scale is rude sometimes. I get very frustrated when I have just one meal/dessert and the scale jumps crazy amounts. Keep on investing time in yourself and it will payoff :)

Keep up the good work. If I remember correctly your reunion is very close or just happened. Did you have fun?

Hey there - I really hate that there's no Andorid app - I'm only ever on the actual computer when I am at work! Thank you for asking! :) The reunion is THIS weekend coming up! I did see a few HS friends last weekend - some of us live locally, and one came in town unexpectedly for a funeral (he had planned to be at the reunion). It was fun .... I'm still hoping against hope that I can lose another 2lbs (like it's really doing to matter). Lol! Truth is, I feel good, and I'm hearing from a lot of people that I look good. 20lbs has definitely made a difference .... I'll post a picture next week! :) How are you doing? Getting close?

Have been doing ok. Picked up 2 days a week at a second job and it's wearing on me from all angles. Should make 1st round goal. Going to have to pump it up after that. Happy to hear you had fun with school pals. I understand about the 2lbs others won't know the difference but you will. Either way you've done outstanding. Rock your dress and enjoy the time.

hi, dena! wow! you are so close to getting out of the 180s!!! I am so excited for you!
things are back on track here...finally. going to post my weigh in tomorrow morning. feeling very good again. :)

THANK YOU! I am SO GLAD for you that you're back on track and doing well - it's hard to be focused 100% of the time, and like anything, you get stuck in a rut, and it's even harder. WELCOME BACK! :) I have really been working my a$$ off ... LOTS of time in the gym. If I were stricter with my diet, it would be coming off faster, but all in all, I'm happy - definitely not complaining. I'm almost at 20lbs since about Easter (I actually started my first DB right after Easter). Another 15-20lbs and I'll be set. I said I might even consider buying my first ever (in 37 years) bikini before the end of the summer! ;) Can't wait to see your update tomorrow!!

Dena nice loss. You're going to be a smash in your reunion dress. Keep working at it. YOU GOT THIS! My 25 would be this year I dont attend. Wasnt very into highschool and it was a big school about 800 in my class.

Thats so fun Dena! Sorry about your stress. A trainer really does motivate. I surprise myself when I workout with one. Keep it up!

Thank you - you too! The stress was work related - still hoping it results in something else positive, beyond the weight loss. Enjoy the weekend - hopefully the weather is nice where you are - it's beautiful here on Long Island! :)

Yay! A familiar face. I have a 4 ending friday pretty sure not going to make it. Just signed up to club fitness to change up my workouts. Here I come Jan 1st.

I know ... Happy to see a familiar face too. Nikki from the FitFusion is on here too. :) Had a rough go the last few days. Off my schedule and my diet has suffered. Short of 4th of July on Friday .... I have to keep it together for the next few weeks. Going to a hs reunion on 7-26 and I really want to be down another 5-7 lbs .... The dress will look great then! :)

hi, ladies!!! :) happy that we can all support each other again!

hey, did either of you get tokens? I didn't buy any, but I'm wondering if it's worth it. thoughts?

girl, that was rough. congrats to both of us for sticking with it and winning runner-up! :) still considering the transformer. will let you know!

I know. Down 1.5. Disappointing, but I could have gone up. I'm headed in the right direction. Im registered for July 1. I think the longer game will help. I hope you join ... it will be nice to have a familiar face around! :)

Hey Dena! Just saw your before and after from 2000 and you look so happy and healthy now. Never forget how far you've come and you should be so proud of your progress so far! I had replied to your post earlier today and just checked out your profile. Be positive and keep going strong =)

Thanks Kim! It has been a long haul (literally and figuratively). Lol! I am a fighter, I'll figure this out and get through this. Thank you for the encouragement and the kind words. This support on this site is fantastic! :)

Check that - more like 9-10lbs to go! Even worse! If I stay 100% on plan, I'll be 10 calories under my goal for the day. Today is my rest day, not work outs. Tomorrow, I'll be back at the gym for a 1 hour class. I wonder why we're both stagnant?
