Good morning everyone! I just finished my O! and the stretches felt so good to my hip. Some days my sciatic nerve (at least I guess that's what it is...) bothers me and some of the positions feel especially good.

Maree...it sounds like you are coping well with everything going on at your house. I'm glad your DH is home and things are going well.

Alicia, don't worry about those two pounds. They could be gone by tomorrow. I often step on the scales during the week (it's gotten to be a habit when I get up in the morning) and see fluctuations in my weight. Earlier this week I was up several pounds one morning, but by today (my official weigh-in) it was back to where I was last Saturday. In fact, all my stats stayed the same this week. I think I've finally reached my goal. YEA!! If I can just stay within a 3 or 4 pound range of where I am now I'll be thrilled. I never dreamed this time last year that I'd ever again weigh what I do now. It still just amazes me. The challenge now will be to maintain this the rest of my life!

I need to run to WalMart and the grocery store. Want to hit them both while it's still early. Hope everyone has a great weekend!

I might take today off. All I've done is cook for tomorrow, our church dinner plus cook up a mess of pumpkin my friend gave me.

KOB!

Kelly - Wow to be at goal. That is really something, to know that you are where you want to be for the rest of your life. I know you'll keep it off, too. You have been an inspiration to all of us.

Shelby - I'm sure everything will taste great tomorrow. Don't feel guilty about taking today off. I know you'll jump right back into next week. Are you making pumpkin pies, etc. My daughter loves just plain pumpkin with a little bit of butter. Almost like mashed potatoes.

Maree glad everything is going better at your house. O'ing and walking a mile and a half.

Just finished O for the weekend. May try to get another one in later.

Have a great weekend.

Hello O-buddies!

Kelly, I'm so happy for you!!! You've done such a good job, reaching your goal in less than one year!!! AWESOME!!! Congratulations to your daughter, too!

Mary, thanks for posting and catching us up. You're doing really well to get that much exercise!!! I think it's so nice that your son will do that with you!

Alicia, hang in there! My weight does that, too, for no apparent reason.

EmBe, I'm so glad you're finding it possible to do the EDI levels at this stage! WOW!!! You're inspiring!!

2B....good job!

Shelby, congratulations on your inch losses!!! It sounds like you're a real busy lady.

Sharon, you made me giggle about Kelly's DYW. I liked your guesses!

I saw "Karen in Utah" logged in this morning. Will you introduce yourself? Feel free to join in with us!!! Anyone else who's peeking, don't be shy!!!

It's shiver shake cold here, too! Like 5 degrees! We've had heaters running all day.

I did my O last night, and the night before, and plan to do it tonight. My dd is on cloud 9 today because she's lost 2 more inches from her waist and 1/2 inch from her hips. I'm so happy for her!!!

Hello O!Buddies,
Kelly, congratulations for your daughter and her accoomplishments. Great.I must have missed your post on your goal weight. Must feel good. Shelby you are always cooking or doing something good for evryone. I admire you. I'm sure as soon as you slow down with everything you will be back on schedule.
I skipped O!ing this morning but I have worked hard all day and never stopped. Hope that counts. My hips and legs are so tired I just got a Hot Hot bath and maybe it will take some of the soreness out.
All of you keep up the good work. Maybe sometime after the Holidays I will start weighing and measuring again I hope by spring I will see some progress for myself.
Mary
