Bunny, CK, Roony, SBT - *must spread karma etc...*

You have no idea how much your compliments have made my day! Being so down on myself for not making progress it was only when I looked back to last September that I realised that, OK, it's coming off albeit very very slowly.

Thank you

But it's all about the journey, right?

[see, learning to accept compliments graciously - trying anyway]

You are doing great girl - keep up the great work and you are absolutely right...it is all about the journey...enjoy it and learn from it!!

Keep your head up girl and keep pressing forward, you have made so much progress from when you started. I don't think you realize to what extent, but you have, both mentally and physically.

Well, screwed up this morning. Slept like crap and missed the alarm for AM cardio. Amazingly I had energy all day. Worked a bit late and just needed to let off some steam in the gym so did an hour of cardio, practically on an empty stomach. It felt very good. Check out the diet though - 8 months ago I would have laughed like hell if you told me I would eat like that. Now it just seems, well, normal.

Great cardio and diet! You are doing SWEET!

For the record, 16 days have passed since you have posted pics. Just thought you would be interested in that random fact.

Stop that!
Listen you little sexy mer-beast, You are tracking your progress for the whole world to see, you put yourself out there and that takes courage. You DO help motivate & inspire people so I don't wanna hear anymore of that down talking

Everyone here is a motivator!!! We all rely on each other through hard days, those days when we just don't think we can take another step (doing that lately myself), days when our feelings get hurt and there are many friend's on here to help type away the tears. When we are full of joy when we compete, or buy a house, have a baby.... We all motivate each other to live life to the fullest and not give up when life makes you fall down. We are all here to help pick each other back up! You are one of us

A blah day really. Days are getting shorter and colder and that wintry feeling is coming over everything. Getting up for cardio is hard when it's so dark.

Couldn't get off the board long enough to do any work this morning then spent all afternoon in a meeting so missed a meal.

I don't recommend blending blueberries in with the pancake mix, it cooks into purple goo. But I ate it anyway because I was so hungry.

morning everyone. Have a coffee for me!
