Ellen, it's so easy to get off-track when you've had a group that has held you so accountable! Remember, we're all human, and sometimes we fall off the wagon. Just dust yourself off and chase that sucker down! My problem with pictures is that I have all the photos of myself before I had...

I have not lost much weight, I am sorry to say, but I think that my lack of weight loss is probably due to becoming more muscular because I have definitely trimmed down. I really only had about five more pounds to go before I was where I wanted to be, but maybe that's just not a possibility for...

Thanks for all the information again! I have just reread the P&P information on leaves and staying active. Since I submitted more than $200 in June, I have until the end og August to submit another $200, which will be no problem whatsoever with the bridal shower that I am doing. Then I should...

If I take a leave of absence, I won't lose my career sales (though I did that once by going inactive, so I've been down that road...). That's how I understand it. Anyone know exactly how th leave of absence works?

I just want to thank everyone for your input. I will probably take a leave before I do anything drastic because I know with my whole life in upheaval, right now is not a good time to make big decisions. I am sort of an all-or-nothing type of personality, I guess, and that's what's hard for me...

Hi, all! I'm sort of at a crossroads with my business, and so I'm turning to y'all for some advice. Several weeks ago, my husband got a job in Indianapolis, about two hours from where we currently live. It's a great opportunity for him, and we know a lot of people in the area, so it's a...

Hey, Rae! Nice to see you posting again. I miss you!

Well, the search for a rental house has exhausted me, and I haven't run since Friday night. I did five miles Friday night, though, and they were fast miles, too. I hope to get a run in tomorrow, but I'm headed back to look at more rentals, so I don't know what I'll accomplish! Sheesh! If I...

Sorry, Anne! Maybe I should have PMed the person who asked for the recipe instead of torturing my fellow "get Healthy" comrades! :p Well, I have done okay today. My meals haven't been the healthiest, but they've been reasonable portions, and I haven't done much snacking. I ran 3.5 very...

Frosting Recipe--dieters Beware!I know this request was a while back, but I haven't been here in a while! "Can you share your recipe for the icing? I have been looking for a pretty good recipe for awhile now. I know this is a healthy thread, but we still have the little kiddies birthdays ya...

Hey, all! I'm back! The craziness around the let's-sell-our-house-and-move-to-a-different-city drama has started to die down, as the house is officially on the market (two showings in the first three days, too!), and I have a plan for keeping it clean. Whew! I also have a plan to...

Speaking from the aspect of someone who isn't really interested in achieving what you have (I'm a part-timer, and I do it mostly to get out of my house once in a while!), I think it's neat to see the same people's names over and over. It lets me cheer from afar (and often without even knowing...

Thanks for all the suggestions! We did buy a few moving boxes at Lowe's, but I'd like to avoid to much purchsing of things that can easily be gotten for free!

I haven't run in a few days, but my diet has been "good", if you consider barely there good. I am planning to run in the morning before we head to Indy to look at apartments. Four miles will do me a ton of good!

Rae- I won't be in town on Saturday, as we are going apartment shopping in Indy! Whee!! Anyhow, Anne is out of town, so if you would like my address, I'd be more than happy to provide it. I'm about twenty minutes from New Haven, though. We are leaving around 9 a.m., and we'll be returning...
