HEY YOU GUYSSSSSSSSS  !!!!
 
Kids sarted back to school today WHOOooo-HOOOooo  !!!!!
 
 
 
Don't faint... yes it is me.... Zoo...  I am still alive.
How are you all doing out there?  It was a slow board this summer, but that usually means it was a busy summer.
 
Tell us your accomplishments, what you were hoping to do, and where the last 4 months of this year is going to take you.
 
For me... I have lost 22 lbs so far !!!  I am VERY happy with that.  I see huge differences in my body and mind, and I am way more comfortable in this body of mine.
I need to get back into my workouts, and will probably start that next week...getting back into routine with the gym.
I am hoping to keep losing as I am really liking the changes.
 
We have a new member added to our family.  His name is Jager, and you can see him  here... 
He is such an adorable puppy.... a pure bred Golden Retreiver.  He's just 8 weeks old now, and we've had him just over a week.  I never thought I would be this attached to him, or him to me.  And so far, he's been a really good puppy too :)))
 
Anyway... I am back here, and hoping to get this board A ROCKIN again !!!
 
HUGS
Zoo

Hi Zoo, I am still here hanging around from time to time.
 
Congratulations on the weight loss.  I bet you look and feel amazing.  What did you do to lose the weight? 
 
I have  stayed about the same but just this week have begun to try again to lose.
 
Good to see  you. 
 
Yvonne

Nothing fancy to lose the weight....Just really cut down on how much I was eatting, and increased better snacking throughout the day more.  So I usually have a yogurt for breakfast...I bring an apple to work with me and have it around 10:30am... then lunch at around 12 and that is usually a bowl ( sometimes 2) of cereal, or a sandwhich.... try to get another fruit in late afternoon, and then dinner and I have cut my portions way down.  If I was to have a toast, I would only have 1 instead of 2... half a sandwhich instead of a whole one... etc... And got the water going again.
We only have potatoes maybe a couple tiems a month if that, so I have cut way back on those too.
I still have the odd meal out at fast food restaurants, I just find I can't eat like I used to anymore.
 
I haven't made it to the gym for my own workouts in awhile, but I stay fairly active cleaning, walking ( new puppy helps) doing things with the boys.
 
First my weightloss started out from stress...but then I decided I liked the changes in my body, so I am keeping it up.
 
I have polysistic ovaries so for me to lose even a couple lbs of scale weight is amazing.  I have never been able to do this before.
 
If I can do it..anyone can !!!

Hey, Zoo! So glad to see you back in action. It sounds as though things are going well. CONGRATS ON THE WEIGHT LOSS. WTG!!!
I've been gone most of the summer, first for three weeks in Colorado for work; then...
I just got back from a two week bicycling trip in Scotland! What beautiful scenery. It was a fantastic time. Anyway, I didn't lose too much weight on the trip; if I'd been in my twenties I know that I'd have lost about 10 lbs. But I did lose 3 pounds so that's a total of 11 lbs for me. I'm trying to establish and keep good eating habits since I've come this far.

Yvonne - good to hear from you. Keep us the good work.

Hey Zoo good to hear from you. Your new puppy is cute they sure can keep you busy.  I have been busy this summer with the kids running them to sports and such.
 
I have gotten back on track finally. Doing WW I am down 11.6lbs since the begining of july so not to bad. Slow and steady I guess. 
 
Hopefully I can start doing my daily walks now that the kids are in school again.  I have been doing the treadmill all summer but I really enjoy the outside walks.

Hey Zoo - the new addition is adorable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Congrats on the weight loss. That is great. I havn't done so great at it this summer. I think stress isn't helping though.

Hey Zoo!

It has been a while since I have been around here. I had to register again because my old log in wasn't working. I really need to get back on track. Exercise was always a BIG thing for me, and always made all the difference in my weight loss efforts. I now have an injury that has made exercise all but impossible, and it really has me discouraged. I need to come up with a plan or something. But for now I just really want to get started in some way.

I read about your surgery and I am really excited for you! I never thought I would consider that, but now I am really wondering if it's something I should look into. (((HUGS))) I have missed you!!

Any of the real oldies around anymore?

Hey zoo. congrats on the loss i know how hard losing with PCOS i have it myself.
 
me well since i have been mia i have moved into a better living situation got away from  my drunk dad and moved into my friends basement. i am alot more relaxed now but financially struggling which is making it hard to eat the way i want to. so there has been no loss but also haven`t been trying really either. i dont have internet anymore except whats on my cell so checking in with you guys is hard. except right now i am housing sitting till thanksgiving monday so i should be around till then. after that it will just be when i can get online
