I am an old buddyslimmer who fell off the wagon and YES I gained some weight back (20lbs) UUUGGGHHHH!  I want to come back but here are my excuses: 3 kids, 3 jobs, NO TIME!!!!!  But I know I have to make time so that my time here on Earth is extended…right???  I wish I was as devoted to the exercise as I am to the food plan.  I can eat right ’til the cows come home (preferably with BBQ sauce) but stick to a work out routine? NO!  I am going to sleep on this tonight and try to put it all together!  I will try my hardest to come back on at some point tomorrow and plan out my healthy life (squeezed in between my mommy life and work life and oh yeah a dog, cat and hubby who can never get enough attention).  Goodnight!

Fell off the wagon again!  Went to Florda during Feb break and haven’t been back on since…been using a new job as an excuse.  Gained back about 10 lbs and feel miserable!!!! I have to do this for me!  I felt so good while I was eating healthy, exercising and losing weight.  I need to kick myself in the butt!!!!!!

My New Year’s resolution is to finish this weight loss thing in 2008 so I do not have to make this resolution anymore!!!!  Are you with me??????  Happy New Year to everyone and I hope 2008 is your year!!!!!

Thank you guys so much for your input on teen weight loss support.  I found Sparkteens and it looks like she will enjoy it.  Thank you!!!!

My teen daughter would like to be involved in Buddyslim but I was wondering if there are any challenges or teams in here for teens?  Or does anyone know of another site for teens?  Thank you!!!!

Hey all!!  It is that time of year when emotions are all over the place and so is my eating habits!  Do you think there is a link? LOL  Now is the time we need to take an extra moment to come on and support those having a hard time and cheer on those who are not!  I know I am having it tough but all I have to do is come in here and I feel so much better.  I know everyone is so busy this time of year shopping, wrapping, eeeekkkk even baking , but remeber the reason for the season!  There is no better gift than to make someone feel good about themself whether it is here on Buddyslim or right in your own home.  Take a moment from your busy day and make sure you show a little love to those you care about.  I LOVE YOU!!!!!

I officially reached my mini goal at 220lbs this morning!!!  Now I reset my mini goal to 200 lbs.  I hope to reach this by Halloween!!!!  It will feel so great when my weight starts with a 1 again!!!!  Have a beautiful day everyone!

I am officially back on Buddyslim!

The kids are back to school and now I have plenty of time to focus on me!

I am very excited and I have joined the Wildcats Weight Loss Challenge

and signed up for the September Walking Challenge!!!

I have continued to stay OP throughout the summer but my

excerise routine has suffered.  I have still lost a few pounds but

not even close to the rate I was losing when I was doing the

cardio and strength exercises.

I am a total believer in the fact that it takes good eating AND

exercise to lose weight and keep it off!

I want to let you know that I am here if  you need to talk!!!!

Good luck and chat with you soon!!!!

I love my girls more than anything in the world but…..I am so excited that they are going back to school Tuesday!!  I have been focusing on them all summer and now it is me time!!!  I have taken time off from Buddyslim but have missed it terribly!!!!  I am starting a challenge on Sunday!  I have not gained any weight but I have lost the enthusiasm I had before summer!  I miss all of you too!!  The support is such a big part of this whole process!  I hope you all have a great evening and I will blog again soon!!!!

I have not been on in a while but have kept up on my diet and exercise.  The last coupls of weeks I have been falling off the wagon.  I have not exercised and I may be on plan with what types of food I am eating but not the amount.  I need to come back but my life is crazy right now.  Once the kids get back to school and life slows down I can dedicate myself to getting on here daily like before.  I NEED to join a team the 1st of September but have no idea where to go.  I need help.
