I'm in Chicago, at celebrating Easter Sunday.
Wow, it is sunny + warm(er) here! It is 40 degrees I'm guessing. Sunshine makes it seem much warmer.
I am having chocolate bunny today.

For me and my family; today is Holy Saturday. I don't wish to offend anyone; but tomorrow is Easter Sunday. And it is colder outside than it was at Christmas! Ha-Ha!

Little bit of flurries.
My winter coat is back out and being worn.

Rainy. Bleak. I'm inside staying dry and jumping around my SP.
Isn't it just grand always having SP around? Middle of the night, middle of the day, middle of a meltdown, etc. ...always dependable, always supportive.

High 62 degrees F. Sounds good to me.
Hey, I am not wearing a winter coat today. In fact, my winter coat is too big for me now.

Last time I wear, (buy, look for, fit into) size 26!!

My colleagues are saying today is the 1st day of Spring. Oh well, either way I am ready for it!
Can I get an AMEN?

Spring outside for a couple days. What happened? I wake up to white stuff all over outside!
Like my daughter said to me, "It really is pretty!"

Hi, I'm back from my vacation. The Cruise was great fun! We ate, drank, sang, danced, kayaked, swam, laughed, stayed up late, etc. I came back 2 lbs wt gain on 3/3/07. On the ship I allowed myself freedom at meals. I amazed myself at the many healthful choices I made.
3/11/07 and I have recovered; back to pre-cruise wt. I am back to reality. No nightly cake, no nightly beer, no extra indulgences. It helps getting back to work, (did I just say that?) and routine. Needless to say, it is wonderful having SP home on the computer waiting for me.

I looked at a March calendar and read that Spring is officially here on 3/20/07.
Then maybe we can turn the heat down and save some money on our gas bills!

Well I'm back from Grand Cayman and Jamaica ... and Baby it's cold outside! I had to come back, b/c I have a job that I'd like to keep. You know I have some bills to pay, car that needs gas, shoes on kids feet, etc.
It was sunny, 80's and beautiful in the Caribbean.

Thank you for sharing. I am packed and ready to go. I am taking your reply with me on the cruise. I will be safe and have a great time. I'm nervous, but I will survive.
Peace + Blessings,

It was a tad chilly here in FL this morning woke up and it showed 43 degrees. I know you that live up North just feel for us.

Do something good for your body, take it for a walk.

It's looking like warmer weather is coming to Southern Ontario - we might actually be above freezing by next week.

Is winter ever going to end. We don't have the snow, but this cold is really getting hard to handle. MY hips hurt so badly I can barely walk some days. Gotta love getting old

Hi to everyone who's not too frozen to read this and those who are toasty warm!

Today was yet another day of 1 1/2 hours - 2 hours of snowblowing. I am sooooo SICK of winter! I exercise first thing in the a.m., then eat, then bundle up in a thousand layers of clothing to go out and move snow EVERY SINGLE DAY!

Everything is closed in GR. US 131, 196, I-94, M-6 are all sheets of ice. My SO spent the night in GR last night because of the weather and probably will tonight too. We live about 35-40 miles south of GR. Next year we'll be living in the GR area and it won't be so bad traveling for him.

It's single digits PLUS wind chill. BRRRRRR! I'll post again as soon as I thaw out.

Greetings from the frozen tundra! OK if your not Packer fans that is another name for Green Bay. I live just north of there in the country but right now the name sure fits! Yesterday they kept the kids home from school because of the wind chill factor of -35 to -40 and today they had a late start. Hopefully that will be our only "blast" we get this year....cross our fingers!
Hope all are doing good at staying warm. I too have become an indoor exerciser during the winter, but found FitTV and Gilad so I am happy about that.

We're going to have to suffer through another day of -20C with windchill warnings. This is all my fault...I bought a pair of shoe grippers last Thursday so I could run outside without fear of falling. I got to use them on Friday (they were fabulous) and then the cold hit! If I had bought new winter boots - we'd be having a mild spell...LOL Yes folks - it's true. I'm in charge of the weather.

OK, I am a sissy. I have looked at this site as I am a Floridian and it is 40, and raining! I worked out yesterday (walked/ran 3.2 miles) and froze without the rain! I just couldn't do it today! I did all my other weights, but just couldn't figure out walking in the cold...but for today it is the rain. I will hopefully be out again tomorrow, don't mind the cold if it isn't raining. Especially hearing that some walk when the temp is in the negativie!!!

It's very nice to meet you, too! My goodness, you work some late hours don't you? I work 8:30 a.m to 5pm and that's enough, lol. That 12 pounds is great, I'll take anything, too. I've lost 8 lbs with many more to go. Talk to you soon.

I finally have lost some weight not much but i will take anything. 12 pounds is 12 pounds./

hello teresam1'

Hi, I'm new too, and hoping to make new friends and lose this nasty weight. I need to lose 60 lbs and I have diabetes and want to reverse that. I live in Ga and it's 43 degrees here right now. Warm compared to everyone else.

Hello everybuddie. Was wondering if I could post once in a while on this board? I am 52 and live in SE Michigan and yes it is certainly cold outside.

I have been yo-yoing for years and am just getting started. Have about 100 pounds to love and have lost 12 since the first of this year.

I love to come and read and get and give supoort and inspiration. I cant post every day, but I am on at least 3 days a week.

Thanks

So far today it is 4. I don't know what the high is suppose to be. I think I should get a move on and get to the grocery so I can replenish my goods for that nasty four letter word---WORK! LOL. I hope everyone has a very good day--and stay warm!!!!

Ok, now I'm for sure not complaining. I feel like I'm in the tropics in MD. The other day it was 31 and that felt warm. Tough to get out and walk when it's so cold.I really have to talk myself into it. Thick wool sweater is the thing that saves me. Stay warm!

I LOOOOVVVVVEEEEE heated seats. I personally have never had them but a friend did. UMMMm they are great. I thought we were cold here, but we are at 38 now so I guess we aren't to bad off. Overnight should be about 15 which is still better than you guys. Guess I will quit thinking I'm freezing. Oh I'm in southern TN

I am in S.E. MI and feel your pain! It is supposed to drop down even more tomorrow! I went out today to get my haircut. (I am so glad I did, b/c I was about 2 wks overdue.) Anyway, it was frigid. I bought a new car this year and it has heated seats, and I had no idea that feature would be so great to have! Those seats have really, I mean really, made a difference in going outside in this freezing MI. Stay warm. Make some tea for yourself.

You got that right! I'm in SW Michigan and we are under a blizzard warning! AND it's 8 degrees outside WITHOUT the windchill. The winds are about 25 mph and gusty. We went out for breakfast the a.m. and then later this p.m. We didn't go far and I took some photos of the snow blowing. We have white-outs and 50 car pile ups on US 131. Tomorrow is supposed to be more of the same. We'll stay inside tomorrow. I think the Groundhog didn't see his shadow because he was sleeping through it. Spring is no where in sight!
