[koko_99_2001]

I'm doing well! Enjoying married life. Feeling exhausted all the time due to work But other than that, not much new to report. What's up with you, Say??

[Say]

You look great, Cat! And most of all, you both look very happy

I'm doing ok! Right now I'm trying to gather up most of mah friends around here, I may or may not invite you all to a chat eventually to catch up

[koko_99_2001]

Cool!! We're staying pretty busy over here, but it would be cool to chat. You'll have to set up a time and date...and probably Facebook me just so I know when it is!!

[Rosella]

You definitely should!

I will, I will. I wanna hear from all of you too

I'm really impressed. Congratulations!

[Say]

I get to see another lovely faceeeeeeeee! Helloo writerlove, nice to meet you

[koko_99_2001]

Looking great!! You can definitely tell you've lost the weight Congrats! It's not easy!!

[writerlove]

Thank you It hasn't been the easiest thing but I feel better about myself. I used to HATE exercise. It was like pulling teeth to even get me to walk around a park track. Now I like it because it's an outlet for my frustration. I'm still 50 lbs from my dream weight, but I'll take it one step at a time. I admitted my weight to someone at the gym today and they thought I was kidding. Well, I'm 5'11" as well as heavy so my weight distributes differently.

Lemme fix this for you, frand...

Well, I'm 5'11" so my weight distributes AWESOMELY.

Yay for tall girls! I'm also 5'11'' and you do look wonderful. It is a choice to be healthy and I am so proud of you or choosing to give yourself years to your life instead of taking them away. I was there too, it isn't wasy at all. I'll support you for whatever you need, maybe we should get a health thread going

[KatieHal]

That is awesome Kristen!! Congrats!

A health thread would be great. It is definitely not easy and support us always good. I've gotten out of shape in the last year or so between not enough time/money to keep up jiu jitsu. I really miss it and would love to manage to stay more active than I have been. (Though a sprained foot the last few weeks hasn't helped matters!)

[crayauchtin]

I have a new headshot!

[koko_99_2001]

Agreeing here! It's totally not easy! I weighted myself right before my 10 year class reunion and realized I was at least 30 pounds lighter since they last saw me...but that took 10 years of getting some weight off, and then putting a little bit on, getting some more of it off, putting a bit on. This last year has been the first time I have done regular exercise...and that's with Erik and I running on a regular basis. Now let me tell you: I HATE running. Even after a year, I HATE it! And yet, every time we finish, I feel so good about myself. As of last week, we got 5 miles in, which is the first time we've ever done that. We've been stuck at 4 miles for a while now! AND I did my 1-year mark of measurements: 5 pounds gone, but 29 total inches!

As a reminder and an encouragement, Kristen: It takes longer to get weight off when you're exercising because you're building muscle...and muscle weighs more than fat The best thing to do is start measuring and weighing yourself once every month or so. Or just post before and after pics here every few months so we can tell you how great you look

Graham, you look great! Haven't seen pics of you in FOREVER!!

[GrahamRocks!]

I have a new headshot!
