    Hi everyone! I'm new here. SW as of last Wednesday (my weigh-in day) was 281.4. I am looking forward to reading all about your journeys on here. I log in daily and will try to check this page daily as well. Can't stay too long tonight. Still have to finish a paper for grad school which is due by midnight. Been having a "I need to sleep weekend" so I am hoping to finish up the paper in the next 30 minutes or so and go to bed early.

    I'm kinda bummed out today... you know how on facebook they added in "on this day in 2010" and it tells you what you posted. Well apparently today last year I lost 2 lbs putting me at 16 lbs lost. I was at 208 a year ago, now I sit here at 221... I wish I could keep my motivation up, I could be at 180 today instead of 221!

    Stupid FB! You're here with us now, girl! That's the right direction for sure! :)

    I am caring for my dying mother. She is dying of Liver failure and not doing good at all. We are thinking that she only has a couple more days.
    With all the stess of caring for my mother it is hard to say to my diet. But once everything is done and taken care of I am planning of going back on my diet. It is just so much work to take care of everything here and all the stress. I am going through alot and I am taking a break from my weight loss journey. But I did not give up... Just taking a break.
    So I try and stop and post updates on whats going on or how I am doing but not very often.

    Chrystal - I can't imagine how difficult a place you're in right now. So sorry about your situation. Wishing you strength and grace through this time.

    @ caroltina & Nikkie_too

    Thank you so much, This is so hard to go through but I am making it. I have decided that I have emotions and i have to express them. I know if I hold them in like everyone else in my family that I am going to be completely crushed when she does pass. I love my mother so much. Right about now I just want God to take her so she doesn't have to go through all this pain and distress.

    Chrystal you are such a strong person! I don't think I could do what you are doing. You are a great daughter for taking care of your mother and making her feel as comfortable as possible (including the little things like painting her nails).

    Glad to report as of Sunday, half our group has checked in with their weight. :) I'm sure everyone else will be on tomorrow (Monday - Friday is always more popular and busy than Saturday & Sundays lol).

    So, its almost midnight, and I can't sleep. I think my husband having to go back onto shift work did it. I was doing really good for a while (actually managing to get tired, and at least venture into the bedroom and rest before midnight!). But yesterday I couldn't sleep, and finally crashed out at almost 3am! Turned around woke up at 7am, stayed up all day, and here I am again.

    Took some benadryl to help knock me out, so I'm sure I'll be asleep here soon. (I've tried Melatonin, doesn't work, I must be immune!) In the mean time, I'm boiling some eggs so I can make deviled eggs tomorrow. Thinking I might start making deviled eggs and hard boiled eggs as an on hand snack.

    Anyways, see you all tomorrow. Good night [img]http://freeemoticonsandsmileys.com/animated emoticons/Activity Animated Emoticons/sleep on pillow.gif[/img]

    I hard boil a whole thing of eggs and keep them in the fridge. It just makes it easy when I am lazy and don't feel like cooking. (::cough, cough:: everyday ::cough, cough)

    Hello all welcome to our new group! Sorry I didn't see this til this morning yesterday was an exciting day in our family. I am an Aunt as of 5:34 pm yesterday to a beautiful little girl named Avonlea Anne. She was 7# 4oz and 20.5 inches long. She has lots of dark hair and dark eyes and looks just like her Momma only with her Daddy's chin and ears. My current profile pic is me holding her last night. I will post a pic of just her soon.

    So right now I am at a hotel with my mom and can't give you my weight as of today but yesterday when I hopped on in the morning I was at 274.2! Oh and my name is Renee! I have a beautiful little girl myself who is 7 and I talk about her a lot! I will try and be back on later today but going to go and love on my niece now!

    Hi all! Sorry - I don't get on the computer much during the weekends - my app on my phone doesn't let me get to the boards.

    Chrystal - you have quite a bit on your plate....so sorry that you have to go through this right now. My heart goes out to you, even though I don't even really know you.....

    Learning2Love- don't dwell on the past - silly fb for bringing it up....just keep looking forward and make changes for the future.

    nasue - congrats on the addition to your family! Yay for babies!!!!

    My name is Becky and I weigh-in on Tuesdays. Last week I was at 238.6.

    Looking forward to an awesome week...even though it is Monday!

    Sorry all, I don't normally get on a computer on the weekends. My Friday weigh in was 225.
    I 'm excited, this is the first time I have actively sought out support on MFP.
