I so so so so so hope this gets extended. I almost cried when I saw this…I was doing so well and so proud of myself, but am now finding myself going through a divorce, searching desperately for a job and living at home (pity party much?) Really, it will all be fine. 🙂 Life is kind of crazy, huh?

Anyway, when things get crappy, what do I turn to? Unforunately, food!!!! I haven’t gained very much back, but I need to turn this around. I have lost over 50 lbs and am NEVER going back to the way I was. Vote December people!!

Bobbi, life only gets more hectic, NO WORRIES OR GUILT about yours being the same way everyone elses is! Im for it being done mostly so you can elieviate yourself from the guilt of it! Revisit the purpose of the train…refocus….and stick with it. (the purpose was to inspire & motivate…I think you did that!) That being said, extra time for extra pounds off would be nice, but I am NO where near catching the first place person (WAY TO GO!) anway, so cut me off now! {grin}

Bobbi..I totally understand the business of life!YOU CAN DO THIS!! I am all for extending just because I have been on a roll the last month or so and I am planning to continue and want to lose more weight. I know I can do it without the train..but I will say having the healthy train has been a big motivation factor and encouragement for me so I am all for the extension!!!

I’m ALL for an keeping the healthy train going!! Don’t beat yourself up Bobbi, you can do this. 🙂

Hey bobbi! Ive been following the Healthy Train and Ive been waiting for it to be OVER so I can join in the next round. So Of course Im going to vote for it to be over. I have some major weight to lose before I marry my high school sweetheart of 10 years in Italy on 9/24/11 and I am ready to kick my butt into gear. (and lose the weight Ive gained over the past 5 years of building my photography business) Ive been working at it slowly but keep falling off and I feel like having something to work for and being in a competition sort of thing will help me MAJOR!

First of all, Bobbi you look FANTASTIC. Despite the setbacks, you obviously look (and probably feel) healthier and I commend you for that. But speaking as someone who used to very unhealthy and overweight, it never gets easier to live a healthier lifestyle if you permiss yourself to make excuses for falling off of the plan. Life doesn’t ever stop happening. It never gets easier to make being healthy convienient. I just used to also make excuses for myself as to why it’s okay I eat poorly, or not exercise for a week, or what not. the fact of the matter is, this isn’t about losing weight, or sticking to a specific diet or exercise plan. This is about making an entire lifestyle change, and part of that is absolutely saying no to all the excuses. To plan ahead and always be prepared (especially during travel or long days out of the house, like your schedule entails). If you want to allow yourself to have a “treat” once a week or now and then – always plan it beforehand. Never let it be a spur-of-the-moment decision or those “moments” really add up on the scale. Losing weight is the easy part. Keeping it off and maintaining your health for the rest of your life is the challenge. I am not meaning to come down on anyone, just wanted to plant little motivational seedlings. I wish you all the best of luck!

Bobbi, you might feel like you need an extension but you look just wonderful seriously good luck to all on the train it’s a hard one I know!

Awesome Awesome Awesome!! and yes I think they should blow up the close up big and hang it up in his room For sure!!
