I’m looking at my new profile pic for BuddySlim, made special by my husband….but I can hardly see it  LOL!!! going to grab a magnifying glass!!!  We’ll have to work on that.

In for just a quick blog today.  The official weigh-in for my team is tommorrow.  But the blabber mouth that I am :)  can’t keep this news in!!!

I have finally reached the 200 mark on the scale!!!!  Who would have thought this would be such  a success, especially when I once weighed 110.  YIKEEES!!  And after having 3 children, my weight stayed right around the 150 mark.

LMAO…just had to stick Confucius in….LMAO!!!  Love it!!

But to me this is HUGE.  With so much love and support all around me, and also some good discipline from myself,  I’m so happy to say I’ve lost the first 25 pounds.

Okey Dokey, off to read some blogs!!!

Have a great Thursday everyone…lots of hugs!!

Howdeeeeeeeee Buddys!!!!  Hows your Tuesday going?

It is so beautiful here and I am fully charged..LOL!

Woke up at 6:oo a.m., did 30 minutes on the bike, 15 on the treadmill, and 15 in strength training….Yuppers, you heard it right…STRENGTH TRAINING.  Me??????????? OMG>>>>its a total miracle.Just a rookie here, learning from many sites online.  We are also delving into Yoga….what is going on!!!

Well the scale  needs to go down 3 pounds, then official I’ll be on fire.

Too see 199 on that scale will be a miracle.

So everybody, if you  are so close to your goals, just STEP IT UP!!! and you can do anything!!!

DON’T YOU DARE TOUCH THOSE CHOCOLATES!!!!!  just stand back and take a deep breath………breathe……….good job

Okey Dokey…later gator….he he he he

Love you all sooooooooooooooo much

I just want to wish everyone a great Friday…TGIF!!! and better yet a healthy, happy weekend

I’m feeling like a million bucks today….actually I have since I started seriously in February.

A little tired some days , but it

get easier, I promise!!! I owe my husband the world for being so supportive!!! He’s incredible….God brought us together and I couldn’t be more thankful than I am today.  Together we work out….sometimes alone, and sometimes together.

Looking forward to biking this weekend…finally some sunshine!!!

Thank you to all you faithful loving BuddySlimmers out there.  I’ve made friendships that will last a lifetime, and I’m so thankful for that.  I’m thankful for the support and love

Lots of love to you all,

Jane

Good Morning Buddys!!!!

How did everyone do over the weekend?  Any parties, celebrations, were you faced with temptations?  Is the weekend the most difficult days for you all to get through?

Weekends used to ruin my entire week of eating healthy.  It always felt like a party….2 days with my husband, pay day, and lots of unhealthy food.

So many of us here have done a complete turnaround in our life.  We finally had the “AHA” moment, and arn’t you glad??????

I still maintained on the scale, and ate fairly good.

Hubby and I were so excited to get out and ride our new bikes….we were lucky to get in 20 minutes between Friday evening and Saturday morning.  We have had so much rain, and its cloudy and yucky :(  Hope we get some SUNSHINE soon…I need it

Wanted to wish you all a Happy Healthy Monday

Love you all, have a great Monday

Its Friday April 24, 2009.Its a big day…filled with anxious people, doubtful people and happy people.  Weigh in day brings along much stress for so many of us, along with many successful people.  Not to worry, everyday is a new day

I’m learning to just take a deep breath and whatever the scales says I will deal with it, good, bad, or maintaining.

Reading blogs this morning I see alot of pain and hurt, sickness, some wanting to give up.

Nancy,  StaceyC (your husband) and any others that are sick out there,  I hope these balloons will bring you a smile.  I truly wish you all well soon.

Along with the sickness we see, comes prayers.  And for those who are struggling so hard to keep on track.  Mel who is suffering rough times, our Anj and Tim on the job hunt, Kama so overworked, Debra wanting to give up and Bette Jo just coming out of a couple weeks of pain….and everyone else here who I’ve missed. I apologize for not thanking each of you for your support, but for now I am.  Thank you. For those above and all others   I  will be

Please buddys, don’t give up.  I’m not one to talk, I played around with idea of getting healthy for 2 years.  I finally got tired of hearing myself “here we go again, this is it” 

For some like me, it takes time to get the info, learn the tricks, and BuddySlim is surely the place for that.  Listen to people, learn from them, each and everyone of us has something to offer!!!!

This is our lives buddys…..don’t we all want a long healthy life?  I know I sure do, I thank God for each and every day

All my Love and Blessings!!

Have a Fabulous weekend everyone

Love you guys,

Jane :)           

Good afternoon all you buddyslimmers out there Do you have sunshine where you are today?  We finally do after 3 days of rain, dark clouds, cold weather and plain YUCK, we have a beautiful sunny day here.  Can’t help but smile when its sunny

Started out a normal day here, got up…got on the scale         and I was so excited I couldn’t stay still.  I even went to tell my doggies Chloe and Toby the good news (I swear dogs understand)  I have finally lost 20 pounds….YES 20 POUNDS!!!!  I still have 45 to go, but I’m happy because I finally stuck to my plan and stayed with exercising and it is finally paying off

I have a drawer or 2 stuffed with favorite clothes of the past and future :)  I bet you all have that same drawer……I’ve designated part of my closet for the same thing.

I looked around and found one of my most favorite pair of jeans.  Haven’t fit in them forever :( 

Sadly and embarrasing to say I’ve been in a 20/22 jeans.  My favorite pair was an 18   YES AN 18!!!!  and I can fit into them!!!!  sure there a little snug, but I know they will be comfortable in a few days. I am so proud.  I feel so much more confidant now and the motivation is even stronger.

So Please buddys I know how hard this journey is, I’ve been on BuddySlim for 2 years and I just recently had that “AHA “moment.  I want to be healthy and live a long life….at the rate I was going, it wouldn’t be such a long life.  I love healthy foods, right now my favorite thing is finding new healthy recipes.

I know you all can do it.  It has to come from within first.  Make it your hobby…..make your new healthy journey fun and competitive.  For me I decided to make it my “Full Time Job”  and its working

This is a big week for my husband and I.  We celebrate anniversary/birthdays.  We went out and bought a new bike for each of us!!! Were ready to go!!!

I thank you all from the bottom of my heart for always being there for me.  For all the love and support I’ve gotten from this awesome site.  Couldn’t have done it without you.

Faith changes hope into reality.

  Good Morning Buddys.  Wish I could be more cheerful, but when our Buddys or their famlies are hurting…..we all hurt as well.

Our wonderful BuddySlim family is the best.  When we need group support or prayers, we are so fortunate to have you all.

A dear buddy StaceyC ’s husband was in the hospital with possible heart problems.  StaceyC is scared as anyone would be. They have been together since age 16!!!! itsn’t that incredible!!!

She has also fought medical problems of her own. Could we all take a few minutes today and include them in our prayers please?  Thank you everyone and God Bless .

Prayers always for those fighting flu’s, colds, and struggling with the weight loss.  Your always in my heart.

Love you all

Jane

A big shout out….to all the good buddys here today!!!   Its finally WEDNESDAY!!!

The sun is warm and bright today, can’t help but smile. 

Its a little late for this question, but how did we all do over Easter weekend?  I hope you all were successful and made good choices.

I did great at dinner, but in the evening when all the company was gone, my husband and I ran to the bedroom and ate the remainder of Easter Candy….BAD JANE…..BAD ALAN….LMAO!!! oh well, darn it tasted so good.  I forgot how much I love jelly beans!!!

So there are consequences for our actions……and mine were bad :(   I gained 2 pounds.  I wanted to just cry, but nope got back on my bike and walked on the treadmill and stuck to my plan.

This will be an interesting Friday weigh-in for me!!!

Always remember if we gain a little, we gain a little, its all a part of the journey.  I’m learning now that I can’t beat myself up.  What for…how silly!!!!!!!!  I just need to concentrate and make my journey of eating healthy and exercise a full time job:)

So please remember buddys…enjoy the day…enjoy the people…and enjoy yourself.

Blessings and hugs to you all

Jane

Just hopping in to wish all a Happy Easter.  Hope the weather is warm for all the little ones searching for eggs.

Such a beautiful time of the year

Got past my mini goal, and lost 3 pounds this week.  I’m on cloud nine!!!  Can’t believe it, but now theres no stopping me;)
