For those entering the contest on the 11th!!

**lund1** · 04-09-2005, 12:33 AM

Hi you all!!I was wondering if any one wanted to join in with me and encourage each other while doing their workouts for the contest??

I know there will be lots of great days and then some hard days[:I] but we could all benifit from each others encouragement. So if anyone is interested, start posting.

I need to get moving again and looking forward to this 90 day journey to wellness and inch loss and new and renewed friendships.

Today I did Total WO to get geared again. Been doing it off and on but I need to be more consistant again. I love HFs and Carol and the
neat bunch of gals there and this will help me with that too !!

So Ladies let's get ready to get our minds geared up and our bodies ready to move and get healthy and many other benifits as well.[

]

if you want, you can share pics on here and /or measurements if you want. Only if you want to share with the group . You don't have to though. It would be fun to see how much of an inch loss or benefit we are getting as we go along.

You may also share a goal that you are working for , in this contest .
I know I looked at my wedding dress today and I just realized that it will be 30 years for DH and I this November so I want to be very close to my goal before then. I want to surprize him . Well, I don't know if he'll be surprised being I'm living with him all the time[:I]but to surprise him by getting into my Wedding Dress!!!!!

I know I was around 125-135 # back then ( well, Ladies, it WAS awhile ago you know, LOL!!Can't expect to remember everything that far backLOL!!!) And I'm not going by #'s now. I THINK I was maybe a size 12 or a small 14. Anyway if I get smaller I sure won't complain.WHOOOOOOoOO!!!!

I want to make sure I get my newspaper on Monday becaue it's going to be so hectic that day and not home till late to get pics in.

I better go now but can't wait. will post more later!!!

Let's go, TEAM!!!

Count me in, too. I'd be happy to give encouragement and goodness knows I'll need a lot of it for myself. [

And for the record - it's been 26 years of marriage for us. Hard to believe that much time has passed.

Good luck with the contest everyone!

No, Miss Sheryl, I doubt it. I mean, I plan on measuring when y'all do, but digital cameras and I don't get along real well. [B)] And yes, I've got one and that still doesn't help. I'm a bit of a techno dork, I fear. And then who do I trust to take that kind of photo?? [:0][:0][:0] <<shudder, shudder>>

But I'll be working out and cheering y'all on during it, though. I'll even measure the same times, so *I* can stay motivated as well.

Don't worry....I'll cheer in KLT. [

oh, and thanks for the compliment, I do try to be nice, but my inner snarky diva tends to get out and she has to get slapped down from time to time. LOL [}

AJ- hey girl glad you are with us!!yah , I know . I did wonder about that before I started this thread if I really wanted to be THAT accountalble to others and the WO's(the torture) but I figured I might as well put my neck out there and REALLY have to commit then. I have a feeling I am going to be really watching my form a lot more. I mean if I am going to do this , I want my time to count for something!!!

Keep your torture to a minimum now so you can keep going!!! [

I want and need encouragement too! I'm excited for this contest. My anniversary is in November also. It will be 16 years for me. I hadn't thought about getting into my wedding dress again, but how fun would that be? Hmmmm...I just might have to work on that.

Tamera- Welcome !!!!!!Yes, that's what so neat about these threads!!!!. !!T-tappers are the best when it comes to encouraging each other.

It really does help when you need just a word here or there when you are feeling a little "pooped" or dragging and not sure if you want to do it for that day!!We have a tendancy to look at the day to day instead of the big Picture. I know if it wouldn't have been for Carol and the HF's and the great Friends in Lani's online class I would have given up awhile ago, but they cared enough to come looking and encouraged me ,so I'm back again. I think each of us goes through that maybe one time or another.
So when in Nov.? Congrats early,Lady!!!!!! Barb Gardino fit into her W. dress and was really excited. Never had thought of getting into it till I was going throgh a bunch of clothes stored away and sorting them. You know " Well I'll have these when I fit into size 14 and this pile when I get into the 10-12... " Isn't that Terrible?!!!LOL!! To think I've had them for awhile!!!But I have always believed I would one day get back into my earlier size. But it wasn't untill T_Tapp that I actually saw some light and a spark that "Maybe I CAN!!!!YESSSSS!" Fit and better at Fifty!! Hey , I like that !!I think I'll use it for my Sig. LOL!!!

Check out the dress, girl!![8D]
