Guest guest Posted March 26, 2001 Report Share Posted March 26, 2001 Charlotte....one piece of advise.....to help you stay motivated and moving in the right direction....KEEP THOSE BEFORE PHOTOS VISIBLE TO YOU!!! That will help you see what you'd like to change. Next, like all the others have said...you MUST do this for you. To make you a better person and to give your kids a positive role model with positive minds and attitudes. I'm a divorced mom of 2 beautiful girls and I'm quite aware of all the horrible tricks life can play on you. Make this a change only for you...no getting back at anyone but instead...taking you to a great and POSITIVE place in your life from which...you can take care of your kids and yourself. Try to keep focused on becomming a better person via exercise, a change in your eating habits, focusing on your inner self, being happy with yourself and not holding grudges (as hard as it may seem sometimes)...letting go of bitterness and rising ABOVE the hostility and anger can really be GREAT for the heart and mind. Take it from one who knows. Best of luck to you and your kids! V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 11, 2001 Report Share Posted November 11, 2001 ----- Original Message ----- From: <magraham@...> So I've only heard from a few people...here's what I have... Mert, I've decided to stop setting weight goals because that makes me binge..... BUT - between now and the first of the year, I need to walk at least four days a week -- at the time and pace that my training calls for. That will be about an hour a day for 3 or 4 days and 2-3 hours on a weekend day. That's about all I'm willing to commit to right now...

Guest guest Posted November 11, 2001 Report Share Posted November 11, 2001 You don't have to have a personal goal...the whole reason I thought about it is that it will be nice to have a second goal...in case you don't make one of them and because I thought it would be nice to have a goal that doesn't focus on a fickle scale but on overall improving health...so it's completely up to you...I am having trouble fitting exercise into my schedule right now so thats my goal...sounds like you have all that covered...and thats great....

Guest guest Posted December 28, 2001 Report Share Posted December 28, 2001 , I've been really slacking with working out lately. I've been sick on and off since Thanksgiving. Now that I'm feeling better I need a kick in the butt to get back into the swing of things. I think a Challenge is a great idea, and what a great way to start off the new year. Count me in. What day are you planning on starting?? Hope everyone is having a good Friday... Bev --- Smilevska wrote: > Hi! > I would like to join the Challengers.
