Hi Cindi (and All),

I've moved the Aloha Group to a new thread, this one got too confusing for me to review in order to update the member's list. Go to our new thread to continue on with the discussions, please (Aloha Group, #4 March 29).

To get there, to above to FRESH START> DISCUSSIONS. Click on DISCUSSIONS, and find ALOHA GROUP (#4 MARCH 29) on the list, and click on it.

I The Aloha Group awaits you in the new thread.

Patty...I am so sorry to hear about your sisters loss.  I will keep her (and you) lifted up in prayer!  10 lbs in 5 weeks!  Girl...you can do it!  That is 2 lbs / week.  That is a great goal and an achievable goal, too!  And, the slower it comes off, the easier it will be to maintain.  I know that it has taken me 6 months to loose around 20-25 lbs and just in the last 6 weeks...I've only lost 4 lbs.  But, though I've battled a couple pounds up and down...I've not put back on the bulk of the loss.  I still have about 20 lbs to go.  And I know it will be a slow process...but I've learned, just like you are learning, what you can eat and what you can't.  And that exercise just goes hand in hand with daily life.  Also, for me, I've learned that the older I've become, the weight is just stubborn (Like me...hahahaha) and it just doesn't want to let go...or maybe I don't want to let go of it??  hahaha

In any case...I'm here for you and I know that you can do this!  We all can do this.  Remember, this is a lifestyle change and one that will lead you to feeling great, looking great and being an awesome example to the next person!

Talk to you soon,  Cindi

Hello  Everyone! Okay I'm feeling so inspired this morning. I'm catching my second wind, and getting more serious. I did 20 min. gazelle, 20 eliptical & 20 treadmill.  As of today I want Everyone to know that I'm stepping up my game.  I hope this inspires you to do the same.  Much Love,  Betty   

I'm with you Cindi, no weight loss.  I will try to do better. I'm going to increase my exercise. Gwyn, Thanks, you've inspired me to do better this week. Have a beautiful weekend Everyone!     Love Betty
