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...

Anyone???!!!!

My dogs were my child-substitutes when I was dealing with infertility issues and miscarriage issues. They were there when I needed them, and they are still here today now that I have two beautiful (human) daughters. They always could sense when things weren't going well and they seemed to know...

Do any of you have extra PC boxes lying about? They are the PERFECT moving boxes, and I need as many as I can get my hands on! I would be glad to come to wherever you are and pick them up! TIA!

Wrong "The same folks that don't put their dog away when people come over. You have to remember that these pets are animals first. They will return to their nature." Entirely not related--it takes poor parenting skills to leave a newborn alone outside of a safe crib environment, with or...

Thanks so much, all! We're going apartment hunting Saturday. I have never lived in an apartment, so chalk that up to one more new experience! It'll be different, if nothing else! Hey, Bev--call me any time! The new paint and carpet should be finished by the end of next week! :D

One of the problems with pit bulls is their jaw and tooth construction, to my understanding. I believe they have one of the strongest bites--some insane amount of pounds per square inch of pressure, and their jaws "lock," if I understand correctly, so that you can't get them pried apart once...

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!! That is incredible! I'm hoping to get into a ten again someday! Way to go!

Ran three tough miles last night. Eating has been sketchy, but not terrible. I just don't have much time right now to make much, and I am trying to use everything in my fridge and pantry so that I don't have to buy/store too much! I hope to run four miles this evening. We'll see!

Janice-- My parents (and my husband's parents) went to Valpo! I know that area pretty well! Small world!

Wow! There sure are a lot of people in the Fort of Fun! I'm in Northwest Allen, really close to Leo. Anyone know anyone who needs a house--four bedrooms + a loft, 2.5 baths, privacy fenced backyard...

We are very familiar with Indy, and we have a lot of friends there. We are looking at the Carmel area for a house once we get ours sold. Y'all are going to love this: today I am painting my bathroom, replacing all the fixtures, and doing enough laundry to put a dent in the FW water supply. I...

First of all, let me say that you are kicking booty to have three recruits in under a year--it took me two and a half just to get one! I'm in the same boat right now--we've just found out we're moving (soon!), and my business is now in limbo. DH has wanted me to quit for a while, and I'm...

Normally I don't start so many threads, but here's a question: has anyone had this happen (read on)? My daughter (3 1/2 years old) was crying downstairs, so I went to investigate. She says, "I'm okay, Mommy," between sobs, so when I finally get her to tell me what happened, she said, "I was...

I live in Fort Wayne. For a while, anyhow! Where are you?

Didn't run yesterday (spent day in Indy--see my OMG! I'm Moving! thread), and eating has been a bit lax, but I'm planning to do better today and for the next few days until I have to head back to Indy to find somewhere to live!
