I'll have to get bloodwork done for insurance pretty soon, and I'm not looking forward to their scale. It's almost as bad as the needle, haha.0

Good morning, everyone - hope you all had a blessed Easter! We were gone for the weekend so I missed all the postings but will catch up reading them today...can't wait to see how much everyone lost
My total loss is 12 lbs for this challenge: SW was 175 (I believe I started mid-January), and CW is 163. But the most exciting thing to me is that at my Curves weigh/measure last Wednesday, they recorded a total of 13.75 inches lost since I started there January 29. I feel so much better since then, and I know my success has come because of this group, and all the support we give each other!
I can't wait to continue on to the Fourth with the new thread. Happy Monday, and Happy Spring - we made it!

Yeah Connie I do the same thing. It was cold out this morning but still wore light weight clothes. Always take my shoes off too. He was happy with me since I did lose some weight since my last visit and my A1C was in a more respectable place. 0 -
Ray the blood work gets done every 3 months so I know about those needles. For me the trick is to drink plenty of water before I go so they can find the vein. One time they had to take it from the top of my hand cause they couldn't find a vein. Now that was bad.I'll have to get bloodwork done for insurance pretty soon, and I'm not looking forward to their scale. It's almost as bad as the needle, haha.
Hey Marie glad you made it safe to your destination. Have fun with that new baby.

That's good advice, they have a lot of trouble finding a good vein on me. One of them suggested getting it from my big juicy wrist vein! I don't think so! I couldn't imagine having it taken from the hand either. Makes me shiver! I'm not sure if I was allowed to drink anything before testing last time, I hope I can so I can guzzle water.

Omgoodness! Connie the 4th thread is overwhelming. I'm sure it will die down after a while but I think I will add some more Easter Challengers as friends and post in my home thread for a while. 0

Wow... The 4th challenge thread is wild LOL I think I misplaced the link to our weight loss totals???
How fun Marie. I never call it getting lost, but I sure take a lot of unintended adventures haha. Enjoy that beautiful great grandbaby and your time with your family

i agree, there is so much activity in the 4th challenge. It is great so many people want to join but it takes so much time to read through all of those posts. i will keep posting there but i miss our calm easter challenge:)

I skim over the ones that are just joining and giving stats. I read the longer ones and try to answer questions or give some kind of support IF someone hasn't already responded to that post.0

I agree it is overwhelming , but they all seem so motivated, I could use some of their enthusiasm, since I have been so stuck, I am trying a few things different.0

Happy Saturday Marie, I cant believe how big the 4th challenge is, its hard to keep up. Glad you got to visit grandbaby. I think posting on this thread also, is a good idea to stay in touch, and not get lost in the crowd. Have a good day. Janice0

Good afternoon Tami, Connie and Marie, I cant believe there is 41 pages already on the 4th challenge, I agree with Connie, everyone wants to be slim for summer.
Connie- congratulations on your loss, I know you had been stalled for awhile. You are doing wonderful trying to keep up with new thread.
Tami- I thought you had a loss, too, congratulations, I dont remember how much, but any is great.
I lost .8, just a couple of pounds more to lose and I will be in the 170's. I hope to be there soon, I have not had a very good couple of months with my losing, but I have been walking more and with my new tracker, I can log accurately. I hope everyone has a good week. Janice0 -
Hi Easter Gang,
Wow it's nice to come here and know everyone!!!
My head spins when I see all the posts on the July 4th thread.
Hope all of you are doing well.
Will be checking in here since I know this is still alive.
I just made a long post on the other thread as I feel bad that
I am not as active there as I was on the Easter thread.
Nancy0 -
Don't feel bad, Nancy..there are a lot of places we can meet..lol.
Lovely words you posted on the other thread..so sweet.0 -
Sweet thoughts Nancy. you are such a fine lady. Would be proud to called you and Connie as my daughter love to you both
MARIE0 -
This is what I do too! It takes a decent chunk of time to get caught up with the new thread. I check in several times a day just to keep up so that I won't have several hundred posts to read at night. :Olovesretirement wrote: »I skim over the ones that are just joining and giving stats.
