Thanks everyone. I really appreciate the encouragement. It certainly does feel wonderful to be able to wear smaller sizes (which was one of my goals).
I seldom toot my own horn; but, realized - from reading other members comments - that their successes were motivating me. So, hopefully mine will motivate some people as well.
Have a great week!!!

Hi Dave,
Today I created a topic named "Sparkpoints Trophy" in the group "achieving success with determination" and somehome there is a member that didn't know what I was talking about when I spoke about the trophy ladder. I tried to explain to her about the "Today on Sparkpeople" column at the right of the screen but she doesn't seem to have. I didn't understand and I said that I would try and find out but guess what? I was at the office at that time and now I just came home and I don't have the "Today on Sparkpeople" column...Am I going crazy??

Mine is a short sleeved t-shirt. But everything is too big on it. I don't think I could alter it enough to be able to wear it in public. Oh well, I'm not complaining because it does make a very nice night shirt.
Have a great day.

I wanted the blue one. And yesterday I said I ordered one size to large; but, after I tried it on decided it is two sizes to large. So, I wore it as a nightshirt. I really hope I'll win another one someday.

GOT2BTHINNER: If you haven't been walking much don't do too much at start. If your legs bother you just slow down a bit and walk the soreness out. When I started I could only walk to the end of the street and back. When I could do that comfortable I added on to that walk. I have been at it since June 05.
Thanks every one for the encouagement. I am sore today but feel great.

I MADE IT!!! 10K walk in 115 minutes. I think that is something. There were a lot there that were smaller than I that didn't make it. It was hot and my legs feel it now but do I ever feel GREAT!! I walked for my Dad, who died years ago, for my nephew only 39 yrs old who died in November and his father my brother in law who died in June. I know that they would be proud of me for doing this. Last year I would never have been able to do this. My daughter did great to, she ran it. I am so proud of her. She is almost to her goal.
I will put some pictures up when I get them.

I can't wear the orange red it does something to me, the color is off for me. I got weighed this morning and PTL!! I am down 2 more pounds and I also measured myself and I have lost inches.
I also got 3 points on the wheel this morning.

YAMAHANANA,
I got another 1 point on the wheel today. But one day I won a SparkPeople t-shirt which arrived today. It's 100% pre-shrunk cotton, red with white letters. To everyone who's thinking of ordering one, they are very nice; but, you'll want to order your size. I ordered a size larger thinking it would shrink. Oh well, I'm happy with it and will wear it with pride.
Have a great week everyone,
Mandy

I had missed a few days as my computor was not working. I am on wireless and sometimes I can't get a signal, then my DH desided to work on it and fix it, that didn't happen. My daughter is the computor person in this family and when she had to take this thing apart and take it to her office to find out what her father did she told me not to let him touch it again. I don't care what happened all I care about is that I am finely back on and getting points.

Hope you find the calorie chart useful. Feel free to share it with your family and friends.

If you click on the current trophy over at the right hand side of your spark page you should be able to see all the trophies. The 5000 one is the diamond shape that is at the top in front of SPARKPEOPLE at top of page only a little bigger. It won't let me copy it.
I did get the calorie chart. Thank you again.
Rosy

I'm looking forward to my 5000 point trophy. How long did it take you to earn yours? Could you copy it and display it on this thread?
I'd be glad to e-mail you a calorie chart (microsoft excel file) which provides a description of food, amount (example, 1 cup), fat grams, food energy calories, carbohydrate grams, protein grams, cholesterol milligrams, weight grams (for those of us who are weighing our food), and saturated fat grams. SparkMail does not allow us to include an attachment. So, if you'd like the chart, please provide your e-mail address. I will not send you anything else unless you request it.
I'm not able to use the internet every day. But will send this to you as soon as I receive your message.
Good luck with your goals!!!
