as long as i have this much help...who needs a "leader" anyhow..? Gosh...yall make being a leader too easy...and i appreciate it...now i can focus on what i need to be focusing on....i dont want any one person to be overwhelmed....we do have to be able to function and enjoy life outside of buddy slim....! anyhow....im going to catch up now on the last few posts...and i have some more messages i need to get out...
and start working on our accountability buddy list...

im excited...there are some amazing things going on here...and its just going to get better!! HEARTBREAKERS ROCK!

I did enjoy doing the weigh ins so if its ok I'd still like to do them.

Accountability buddies sounds a lot like AA Sponsors....how appropriate, since we are all pretty much 'foodaholics'. I think it's a great idea. So, now I've done all 3 homework assignments. Brett's, Joy's and Aprils.

YOUR AMAZING SANDY! WANT SOME MORE HOMEWORK....?? HOW ABOUT PAMPER YOUR HUBBY TONIGHT...YOU COULD WASH HIS FEET IN A CONTAINER WITH WARM WATER AND EPSON SALT.....AND THEN USE A WARM TOWEL TO DRY THEM OFF (STICK IT IN THE DRYER FOR A FEW MINUTES!) AND THEN WAIT ON HIM HAND AND FOOT...JUST BECAUSE YOU LOVE HIM...YOU COULD ALSO THROW IN A MASSAGE WITH SOME SORTA BODY OIL.....THEY HAVE SOME NOW THAT IS WARMING...(FOR THOSE WHO LIKE THAT) ANYHOW...TONIGHT IS PAMPER YOUR HUBBY OR WIFE NIGHT FOR THOSE WHO HAVE THEM...AND FOR THOSE WHO DONT...THEN PAMPER A FRIEND...OR LOVED ONE...OR YOURSELF!! RELAX AND ENJOY LIFE...WE ARE SO WORTH IT! LOVE YOU HEARTBREAKERS! IM OFF TO DO CHORES, WALKING AND WOGGING...AND EATING SOME REALLY YUMMY FRUITS AND VEGGIES....!

What was everybodys home work? I got Brett s from sandy's blog...IO am not quite used to how this team thing works yet... last week I just posted my -1 on here, am I supposed to send that to someone specifically?

Hi Nicole~ It's fine to post your weigh ins in the forum so the whole group can see but if you can send them to Cathy too so she can orgainize the list easier.

I just had a scare. I was in the yard and a huge black stray dog came and chased my dog out of our yard! (she was laying in the shade in the front) Anyway, they were so fast I could'nt find them and so I got on my bike and rode all around town crying like a dork hollering and blowing my whistle (she always comes to a whistle) looking for Gumbo. Well, after an hour of riding around asking everyone if they've seen a big brown dog my boys school calls and says that Gumbo walked in to the gym. So, my dog is home and clean from a bath, I got my excersice in for the day, and the 6th grade class got a kick out of finding her. Whew! For those of you that don't like dogs you probably think I'm silly but she's my best bud, I go everywhere with her (that's how she knew about school) and I don't know what I'd do if she wasn't found! Thanks for listening

Hi all! I am new to the group and just wanted to introduce myself. I am a stay at home mom of a 1 yr. old girl and a 3.5 yr old boy. Boy do they keep me on my toes. I am also a farm wife which means I get roped into feeding cows, hauling hay, and working cows any time the hubby needs me. I have been battling my weight pretty much since I hit puberty. I have done many diets and lost weight only to fall off the wagon one day and just figure I'll stay off until next Monday, or whatever start day I make for myself. In the end, I binge until that start day and past leading to more gained weight. So that is my MO. I am however happy to say that I recognize that as my cycle and am committed to getting right back on the wagon when I fall off and not beat myself up for it for the next week or two.

Now for my goals:
1. Walk or other cardio atleast 5 days a week
2. 5 or more servings of fruits and veggies daily
3. Drink my 8 glasses of water daily

My long term goal is to get back into my sexy jeans that looked so good right after I had my first kiddo. I'm figuring I'll need to get down to about 150.

Thanks for being so welcoming!!

Animals can be the coolest of friends. I use to have 2 huge black cats and they followed me everywhere just like a dog would. I am glad you got Gumbo back safe & sound
