BFL Family!
Please come here to post your daily gratitude lists as well as other thoughts and reflections of a thankful nature.
Today I am grateful for:
This new site. It threw me at first, but after some exploring I think it's really cool. Abbott generously gives us this tool as one of many to help us with our journeys.
The BFL program for being simple and straight forward. I like knowing what needs to be done. It's not easy, but it's not complicated.
Michelle "Champster". She's my sister for life and an important part of my transformation process.
That so many GB people found their way here, to form a community already on this new site.
For the GB people and their profound collective impact on me.
The salad bar at Harris Teeter. I love salad, but it's tough to get that much yummy when you live alone because that's a lot of groceries.
Love this thread Jessica and the fact that we now have a place to have "topic based" conversations!!
This new site and the 2008 Champions videos!
BFL works for anyone that desires to make a change or that needs a "do-over" in their life.
Good clean food prepped and ready.
Jessica and her willingness to keep working.
Today I am also grateful that no matter what, I have the willingness to get better.

Today I am thankful for:
Jessica - for reminding me that even in major crisis (yes this was big for me!), I feel calm when surrounded by friends
My husband - who tried to help me navigate the new website, because he knows BFL is important to me
Mental strength from doing 2 previous challenges. I know that I can get through the third one even with bumps like this.
Im thankfuI I had coffee with most of the best crew before the change.
I am grateful for:
my blood pressure medicine...it has keep me from exploding today on this new thread thing. lol!!
for all my GB friends that have gotten me through the past 7 weeks.
that i was able to go and get a fridge full of food today.
for might max for being so grateful!!!!
I'm grateful I don't take blood pressure medication anymore! I do like this new site but I will be darned if I can figure out how to find the page that has the videos of the 2008 champions on it. I went to a link that Sharon provided, but I don't see anything like it from just surfing around the site. Anyone?
Hey all!
I'm grateful for......
Scott for making me laugh (again)
Legs for admitting struggle and making me feel normal
Champs for starting out crying like me and giving me hope I will end "happy" - not there yet
Jessica - positivity just keeps on growing - Amazing and Wonderful!
ONWARDS AND UPWARDS!
I'm thankful
-that each day is a new beginning and I have the ability to choose the outcome based on my behaviors
-For my wonderful husband who is serving his family and his country and trying to stay positive through this long deployment
-For my children who are wonderful
-For the undying devotion of my dogs
-For my job that is constantly surprising me

My children and husband, they brighten each and every one of my days and fill me with complete joy and happiness.
Jessica-MM, for starting the grateful thread and expecting on 100% participation :0).
My GB friends who put up with my inconsistency and forgive me for my weaknesses but expect me to continue to move forward.
My Father in Heaven that loves me.
The roof over my head and the food on the table.
The voicemail from Aussie-Debs that will be forever saved on my answering machine, so that I can listen to her beautiful accent whenever I want (big cheesy grin).

I am grateful for my husband, who doesn't understand why I want to lose weight but is willing to support me in whatever I do.
My pain in the rear teenage son because he is less of a pain than last year.
Actually, my life, aside from my weight/fitness.
