Just dropping in to say Hi!

I haven't been able to log onto the site for such a long time, computer problems, but I got a new lap top and I can finally sign in!

I've been doing good even though I've put some weight back on, around 20 lbs which stinks. I've got to get serious about getting back the weight back off plus more to meet my goal that I got so close to but never met.

Anyways, glad to see that a few of you kept the board alive, Missy-you're doing awesome and I know you're so excited about your wedding. And it's good to see Carrie posting again and everybody else and all of the new people. This is a great place to come and get support.

Take care

I got a early Christmas present from my hubby lastnight, a treadmill!! We have been wanting one for a while now and he bought one at Wal-Mart lastnight. It's a Golds Gym treadmill so I'm hoping it's a good one.

Now we have to decide where to put it, our house is so tiny. It might have to go out in the garage which I'm afraid if it's out there it may not get used that much. I need it in my bedroom so it's a contast reminder that I need to use it.

I'm hoping this will get me motivated to get off my butt and get back to losing weight and getting healthy again. I've really let myself go the past 6 months or so. I haven't weighed in a while but I know I've gained at least 20 lbs back. Yesterday I tried on new jeans and I was shocked about how much bigger I had gotten, especially in the hip and thigh area, my trouble spots.

He made a good choice by getting the treadmill!! You're going to love having one of your own! My fiance and I bought a used one a little while ago...I know what you mean about finding space for them though. We live in an apartment, so right now the treadmill is in the middle of our living room..not the best space...but it's the only area we have big enough.

Merry Christmas to you and your family!

I think it's a great idea to have your treadmill in a prominent place. But promise me you'll never use it to hang clothes on, set boxes on, etc.
People always joke about their treadmills being the most expensive clothes rack ever, but I think it's a vicious circle. You put your junk on the treadmill.... you get an urge to use it, but there's so much clutter.... so you say, well I don't have time to clean it off, AND use it, so what's the use!
Keep it cleaned off, prime and ready to go. I also think it's a good idea to keep it in a place where you want to be.
I think you'll really enjoy having one in your home.
Merry Christmas!

That's what my sister told me earlier "you sure got an expensive clothes hanger". I promise, I will not be using it as a clothes hanger!!!!

I'm so anxious for tomorrow, my husband starts his vacation and we'll have time to set it up. Still undecided on where exactly it's going to go. Will have to get it out of the box and see exactly how big it is.

I hope everybody has a very Merry Christmas!
