    Default June 2013 Weight Loss Adventure with a PRIZE!!!!!

    On June 1st weigh yourself and write it down. Do NOT send it to me. On June 30th weigh yourself again and PM me your total weight loss. This is weight lost not percentage. I will announce the winner on July 3rd.

    The Prize is a themed FQ from each member who signs up and sends it to the hostess. Once a winner is declared, I will contact the winner and the FQ's will be mailed by the 6th.

    PM me for the mailing address. FQ's must be received by the 15th of the month to be eliigible for the winning FQ's.

    I ask that you check in on the board by posting something, so we know you are still with us on a weekly basis.

    Chit chat is allowed as well as WAYWO (what are you working on). Please stay positive and uplifting as possible to keep us on track. Share tips, recipes, encouraging words and {{{HUGS}}}.

    As summer approaches, we need bright things to remind us of cheery days. This month themes is anything PURPLE. Please send quality fabric that you would want to receive in return. As always if you don't have the theme, send what you can. If you don't have a FQ, you can send a linear 1/4 yard. If you have signed up to be in the running for the prize, please mail your FQ to the hostess by the 15th of the month. As the winner (could be you) have worked hard for the prize pot of FQ's.

    Remember to make healthy choices, exercise, make wise choices and lose weight but most of all have fun!!!!

    Sign up deadline is June 4th @ 9 pm CST. You are encouraged to contribute to the thread even if you are not in for the prize.

    To sign up you just need to post to the thread and PM me for the mailing address.

    Welcome and good luck to each and every one.

    I'm in for June.
    Boy, caring for a baby is so much more draining at 55 than it was at 23. My back gets so tired from carrying the car seat when we go places. I'll have to stop making any plans and just stay home on Allie days. LOL

    I'm in again. Was down in May but not much, 2.2 lbs. Hoping I can get in some more exercise. I know this really helps.

    Well, I'm in again for June. My weight loss isn't great, but it is loss - and I like that.

    Got on my scales this morning to start the month and I am so amped!! I am in the 160s for the first time in a very long time. The weight was coming down, coming down, but to see 168 register - WOW - that's a number to be excited about. According to the AMA and all those charts they put out, I should, for my height and age, weigh about 141. Don't know about getting there, but I'd love to see the 150s register on my scales - the LOW 150s. I'm getting there, come on, ladies, I have enough enthusiasm for all of us - let's do this! My terrific Tuesdays will be every day, not just Tuesday - drink that water, pass up that snack (tomorrow is church and they always have the donut holes for hospitality - none for me).

    I'm in for June. I was down a little but eating on the run with my dad has messed it up some. I decided to go to Hilton Head with my brother for a week so I am there now. SO many goodies. They eat a lot of bad things. We are going to water aerobics in a few minutes. We will probably spend the day laying by the pool and at the beach. The waitress comes from the bar all day offering food and drinks. We usually are bad and have a drink or 2 and order their food. So many yummy bad choices. LAst year I didn't gain any weight, we usually get in a bike ride and a beach walk most days too.

    I'm still here but life is still crappy. I have one nice leg and one elephant leg. It's so frustrating. Lately somedays when I get up its almost normal but by evening it's back to elephant size. At least it's not turning black any more. All this from a fall up the basement steps onto my knee. Ugh. Weight loss still going in the right direction slightly down. This board is helping. Thanks.

    Hang in there, Ladies! It sounds like so many of us are dealing with life issues right now.

    Kathleen, I am thrilled for you!!! Seeing that new number will help keep you on track

    Pam, those babies really are heavier now that we're in our 50s but oh the joy of having them helps ease that pain (well, that and Motrin, lol!)
