I dont know Brett..I have seen some beautiful men! LOL


But that is a great idea! We should all remind ourselves and that works for a great boost!!


Julie~ you know I love your challenges. You make one..I'm in.


I am 5 lbs from my mini goal but it seems like I have been stuck at 170 for awhile. Anyone have any suggestions to get me past this bump in the road?

Sorry I couldn't post this week, I was busy all weekend with a work project. I'm still maintaining which is better than gaining I guess.

I'm a little confused by the group. I've noticed that my name is not on the roster. I've sent out posts letting people know when I have put up a new blog and I barely ever get any responses from people from this team, but I get lots of responses from people on the other teams. I don't post in the forums a lot because I like the blog format better and I think that since I make the effort to let people know when I write one it would be nice if people from the team I'm supposedly on actually read them. I find it easier to post in the blog once a week instead of posting in the forum multiple times a day like some people do. I don't know, maybe I just don't get how you guys work.

My goals are
1) eat around 2000 calories a day
2) Do some cardio
3) Walk over the weekend
4) Celebrate life!!!

I know I am not the homework guy, however I would like to suggest something. That for one week, everytime you look in a mirror and say, "I love you" and "you are beautiful".

You all are beautiful. Unless you are a man, then you are handsome

Don't sell yourself short.....you are handsome and you have a beautiful soul. I will say something positive every time I look in the mirror this week, and when I do I will think of you. What a good homework asignment!

We have changed team leaders....and it was mentioned several times here on the Heartbreakers thread that when you weigh-in Julie will put you on the roster.....she didn't know who was still 'playing' and who had quit. It's too bad you didn't let her know in time to get on the last roster....we sure don't want to lose any team members. Sorry if you're confused. If you don't have time to check out the forum 'multiple times a day', you might want to pick one day to go through past pages and make sure you haven't missed anything.

ERIKA- im just speaking for myself...but, i know that i dont have time to check out everyones blogs...and profiles ...so thats why i like the idea of this forum...we can communicate with each person on the team if they pop in a couple of times each week...if i checked out everyones blogs and profiles..i wouldnt lose any weight...i would be on here all day..i dont know how some of the others do it...i know i get comments from the other teams everyday...and so do you guys...i guess we are all different...but, i know i personally dont have the time so thats why i check in here (almost daily...thats why we created it) im sorry if you are not feeling like this whole forum thing is working for you..but, any team you join ...they will expect you to check in atleast a couple of times each week......(atleast the weigh in challenges...maybe not the others...) you may be interested in julies challenges...it may be easier...to keep up with ...although we sure would hate to lose you..why not try to check in here a few times each week....and post your goals, anything you may need help with..whatever.....and see how that works for you....we would hate to lose you....GO HEARTBREAKERS!!

JULIE..please let us know how it goes at the doctors office...hope its just too much meds...and they will get it straight....relax....a little...whats for dinner? and i want to know about your next challenge...because i want in! please dont leave me out....i need some more oomph to!

Cathy.. you will be at goal before you know it! so what are you doing to lose all of this weight? whats your plan of attack...in this battle of the bulge? whatever you are doing it seems to be working...! keep up the great work!

Tiffany..hope you have fun at your new gym! i love all of the perks..of the larger gyms...

Brett, your posts are always so positive....keep up the great attitude! you still have your 100 bucks?

TRES, WOW! im so proud of you!! keep it up girl...Salsa...ooh..sounds like fun..your a brave woman...im a little too shy...but, i have always wanted to Zumba or Salsa or something...maybe i will before i have to cancel my gym...(since i moved...its way too far!) keep us posted...Tincabelle!

To all of you amazing HEARTBREAKERS....KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK..AND LETS BUILD THIS TEAM UP! SEND OUT SOME INVITES TO WHOEVER IS NOT ON ANOTHER TEAM...AND TELL THEM HOW TO FIND US...(IF YOU DONT ALREADY HAVE ANOTHER JOB..THAT IS...) WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER AND WE WILL WIN THIS BATTLE!

LETS DO IT HEARTBREAKERS!!

But..thank you for being honest...ERIKA..it tells us what you need...from us...and now we know how we can help you... love ya Heartbreaker!

Thanks Julie for adding Angie and me to the roster! I know you had me one the first one and I'm sure just skipped over it the second time around. Great job Eighteen more days till I leave for Cameroon!!

Erika~ I know that if you send an email to Julie she will add you to the roster. I'm sure it's hard with all the recent changes to keep track of everything. I for one will definetly start reading our teams blogs if they post on the forum about it. I know it 's dishearting to blog something and no one read it...

WOW! a mission trip...sounds awesomely amazing..cant wait to hear all about it! and i too will try to be a better buddy...its just hard to keep up with all of it....

Well I am home and just got finished bring in all my plants for the night. They are saying it could frost tonight and I didn't want to loose all my beautiful flowers. I also had to cover my pepper plants for the night.

Anyways..... I am feeling better tonight than I have in a few days....The doctor appointment went well. He was thrilled with how good I looked, and how much weight I have lost. He told me to lower my evening dosage of medicine from two pills to one pill before dinner. He wants to see how that goes for a while and see if it helps. If not he wants to run some test and make sure it is not a nerve problem. But the catch is that I have to monitor my sugar levels more often than I have been to make sure that they are ok.

But in all I was thrilled with the results at his office. He couldn't stop saying how happy he was with my progress. Now if I could only afford to make an appointment with the doctor that told me I couldn't do it myself! I think I will wait until I am down more pounds first! Maybe at the end of the summer! Then maybe I will be down even more!!

Well I have some work to do for school now. I will talk to you all soon! Have a great day tomorrow!
