Well good for you kiddo, you did not do too bad considering. I am passing on
even talking about it, maybe next week... -- Les "Prairie Roots" wrote in message ...

I agree, I didn't do too bad considering. I'm grateful to feel like I
can control my eating better. Although I found those 100 calorie packs of mini-somethings you've been raving about. Thank you very much. -- Linda P On Sat, 28 Aug 2004 23:28:40 GMT, "Lesanne" wrote: Well good for you kiddo, you did not do too bad considering.

Linda,
Just a small bump in the road, life happens and you have to deal with it when it comes. Sounds like you have a plan for getting completely back on track, so follow through with that and that pesky 2.6 will be off before you know it. Debbie "Prairie Roots" wrote in message ...

Linda,
I'm glad to hear your mom is doing well!!! Congratulations on the bike ride--I haven't gone on one yet this summer--I probably should before time runs out!! Enjoy the camping when you go. My friend I just went camping on the coast last week, it was beautiful--I was suprised at how few bugs there were where we stayed. Have a good week and I'll keep my fingers crossed for you for next weeks weigh in!!! -- Janice 263/247.5/150 (maybe 130) "Prairie Roots" wrote in message ...

Thanks Ray. I sure hope staying on program works as well for me as it
has for you this week. I still haven't integrated a steady toning/conditioning routine into my life. Even with the Pilates machine sitting in my dining room. This week my goals are to bike commute at least 3 days, go on 1 group bike ride, and use the Pilates machine at least 4 times. Maybe setting specific goals like this will help.
