Hi Chris, stopping in to say hi, I hope everything is going just great for you, always nice to see you in the group. ~Thia~

Hi Chris: I always enjoy seeing your smiling face on the HHC threads. Love and peace to you. :) Meredith

Happy Thanksgiving, Chriss!!!

thank you so much for reading my blog!!! i appreciate your comment and advice! yes i have to keep these goals going and reasonable goals. I mean sure i KNOW im gonna reach 199 but making a goal of 302 and then 299 is much more reasonable. They dont seem so far away so its easier to reach them! :) have an awesome day and thank you for your support your an amazing person! :)

Hi Chriss...hope you have a happy, healthy weekend!!! Enjoy :)

Hi Miss Chriss, Im stopping in to give you a big thank you for being such an inspirational member of the group. Thank you for sharing yourself with us. I look forward to hearing more about your success in week 2 ~Thia~

Hi Chris, thank you for joining my Healthy Holiday Group, this is going to be a great challenge and we are going to have so much fun. I look forward to seeing your goals and comments posted in the group and getting to know you better, please look around and join in and share in the group. ~Thia~

Thanks so much for your encouragement - it means alot to me. Have an excellent week!

Hi Chriss... Thought I would say hi...I saw your post in Angies profile...she is a friend of mine...one of my running buddies that meet at the crack of dawn because of her schedule...today 5am at the high school track where she teaches. I am also a Dental Hygienist...so you were the first other hygienist I have seen here so far!! I am not practicing right now...not sure if I will again or not. We can afford for me not to and I help my daughter out some with her 4 year old stepson...she recently married a year ago and just moved back here after finishing at Purdue in accounting. Hope you are seeing some success...this thing is certainly working for me. I started 7/21 and have dropped 10.2...thrilled as I had gotten to a point where I thought I couldn't really lose any significant amount of weight again...but woohoo...this works. We tried the Shrimp Scampi last night...yummo. How many days a week do you work? Susan

This Transformation process is the right thing to do. I keep telling myself this every time I meet someone who is going through the Jenny Craig process, weight watchers, you name it...the list goes on and on. Just the other day, I met up with someone I have not seen in a while, that lost a significant amount of weight with Jenny Craig, but she still was not happy with how her body looked. It's because she is now a thin fat person, because the body mass has made only slight changes, from fat to less fat. I introduced the concept of weight training and cardio to add lean muscle and reduce BMI. She basically said thanks, but no thanks. She did not want to put the effort of actually changing her body, but was willing to purchace and eat the tiny pre-packaged meals for a price. I remind myself on a daily basis that what I am doing will not only change the outside of my body, but also the inside.

I was passing by and I thought I stop by and introduce myself. I want to wish you well on your transformation. God bless~ Jerome

Thanks so much; I have read several postings from you. I am on Day 11 officially in my transformation...so far so good. God bless you too, Jerome Chriss

Had a terrific day; busy one ahead tomorrow though. I have everything planned and already have my cooler packed. Ready to face it head on!

Whew! Got up at 5:10 a.m. had a good lower body workout, abs workout, and now off to enjoy a post work out breakfast, then off to work.

Free DAy! I did take a pleasure run this morning while it was cool, and have still been eating well, but tonight we are having pasta! also going to indulge in some ice cream too! Getting ready for a terrific LBWO tomorrow, and will be prepared for hopefully anything. Chriss

Hey great job getting those pics up! I look forward to watching you Transform! Keep it up! ~Bobby Grimes

Hey, thanks for your comment Bobby. It took me some time to figure it out, with the help of my smart hubby! I am ashamed of my before photos, but I know in 11 weeks I will be over it. Chriss

August 23, Saturday Had an emotionally draining day to start, just before my cardio. I did not let it keep my from doing my cardio, and at this point, I am trying to keep it from ruining my day with my terrific family. I need to keep my attitude up, stay motivated, and keep reading my goal card. It seems when I really mentally get going, that's when something creaps in to try to steal it away. I am sure everyone goes through this at some point. Chriss

All is going well, so far. I find I get myself into trouble when I am not absolutly prepared! I have been packing my food for the next day the night before, getting all my training clothes out and ready the night before, and even moved my alarm clock accross the room so I would'nt go back to bed after turning it off. I am so motivated to do this challenge that I almost feel unstoppable at this point! When I joined, I read Bill's book again, purchased the cook book to arm myself with new foods to try and also got a BFL journal to record daily activities in. My actual start date was this past Monday, the 18th of August. I used the past month to figure out this web site and read everything. I think this might be why I feel so motivated...being prepared for the journey ahead. So far, no one really comments anything to me, but that's o.k. I am hopeful I will make some friends along the way in this site. Chriss
