I am lovin...Hello Melissa,<BR/><BR/>Your pictures are great. I am loving the transparency and openness. <BR/><BR/>I have been inspired!!! Yeah!<BR/><BR/>I am going to get up tomorrow and do at least 10 minutes of exercise. I will post tomorrow after I get in for the night and let you know. I am also making myself accountable. Well at least for one day. LOL! <BR/><BR/>In the past, I lost 45 pounds at WW. I kept it off for 3 years. My 16 year old son began doing "teen things". My life became engulfed with his world. He is now doing well. The teen phase is almost over. So during this break, I will refocus on myself again. <BR/><BR/>Melissa, what a great night out! You guys really had a great time. Thanks for sharing your world with your readers... <BR/><BR/><BR/> -Also-<BR/><BR/><BR/>I am going to read my Bible more as well. Tomorrow,I will begin! I will commit for one week. I will read for three days this week. I will keep you posted. Thanks for the spark.. Smile! <BR/><BR/>BernadetteBernadettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17397206322656522088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5380415744735474779.post-23965750982512981392008-07-21T13:26:00.000-04:002008-07-21T13:26:00.000-04:00Melissa,I am so happy for you 3 pounds less. Now t...Melissa,<BR/>I am so happy for you 3 pounds less. Now to put a mental picture in your head. Take 3 pounds of butter out and look at it. It makes you happy to know that three pounds makes a difference.<BR/>Glad you got to see Brad. I think my favorite all time concert was seeing the original Peter, Paul and Mary. I was able to play guitar with Peter sbout 1 year later. That was so awesome.<BR/>If it will help I would be willing to put a picture of my backside up as well. I think al your regulares on the blog should do that. It would be a hoot.<BR/>Love ya,<BR/>DianeChef Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09364679764455626661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5380415744735474779.post-58546774347780855782008-07-21T10:17:00.000-04:002008-07-21T10:17:00.000-04:00I,too, need to lose some pounds.

It's been almost a year now since his passing and I still have not been able to get rid of the extra baggage!<BR/>Hey, at least you have that great tan and beautiful face and hair that I don't have! ha You look good as you are but I know that none of us need the extra weight because of our health. And so...I will keep eating my oats for breakfast and TRY to get in a walk. Need to do that NOW before it gets any hotter. Our forecast for today is for 101 degrees with a "real feel" of 111 degrees! Whew! That translates to being Mississippi humidity in a BIG way today!<BR/><BR/>God bless you.<BR/>Marilyn in MSMarilyn in Mississippihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16808156475777748077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5380415744735474779.post-5619175842786770162008-07-20T23:11:00.000-04:002008-07-20T23:11:00.000-04:00Hi Melissa,You look so cute.

I joined Weight Watchers last week also. I need to take better care of myself. I will find out Tuesday how I did this week. Thank you for sharing so openly your life and your struggles. I really enjoy reading your blog and I always seem to come away with something to think about. <BR/><BR/>Have a blessed day!<BR/><BR/>DebDebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03069975801025176656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5380415744735474779.post-74270325531988129082008-07-20T21:46:00.000-04:002008-07-20T21:46:00.000-04:00Melissa, early this morning I sat at our kitchen t...Melissa, early this morning I sat at our kitchen table "up North" :o) and wrote out some new goals. One of them included exercise 5 days a week (you're one up on me!). I only want to loose about 5 pounds, but I need the exercise for a healthier life-style. Too much sitting at the computer!!!!<BR/><BR/>Your pictures are adorable! You're just too cute! Love your backyard. It looks amazing compared to our "postage stamp" size yard. What's that African style hut we see in the background?<BR/><BR/>Glad you had such a fun night. You needed that!!!<BR/><BR/>Love, hugs and prayers,<BR/>JoyJoyfulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00010498759199040612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5380415744735474779.post-40368303590600009602008-07-20T21:28:00.000-04:002008-07-20T21:28:00.000-04:00Okay, so definitely yes, this is a vicious cycle, ...Okay, so definitely yes, this is a vicious cycle, weight loss:)weight gain:) SO I am right there with you.
