    I reposted what I posted on the other link, I must have been typing while you were setting up the new link so here it is.........................................



    Hey Gals, I am here. So Busy today. My oldest girl is 16 and I am officially 39 my last birthday in my 30's is today. Thought I would check in. I weighed myself today, I do not want to do it tomorrow. My weight loss is 0. 0% weight loss. I am okay though! I was retaining 2 pounds of water weight and it is gone but I am not counting it as a loss because I was actually up 2lbs due to the water weight.

    ♦Melisss, we all struggle the fact that you lost 1 pound tells me you are in the right direction. Going down down down at what ever pace you need. We all have to realize that we are too important not to get healthy. There are so many people who care about us, we need to get healthy for them and for ourselves. Besides, we want to see you succeed!!!!!!!!!!! I know you can do this!!!!!!!!!!!

    ♦awestfall, you are coming back quick good for you I am so proud. You are so motivated again. You are going to be back up to 47 pounds lost in no time. YAY

    ♦lstpaul, we are glad that you are back and getting on track. You are going to need time to grieve. Everyone is around and helpful before the funeral but afterwards they all dissapear and expect you to move on. You do not have to. Take the time you need to grieve. I do not know if that is what is happening to you. But when my dad died I was 21 years old and everyone acted like I was suppose to recover because the funeral was over. So I always want to relay to people who have something like this happen, that It is okay if you are grieving. Anytime you want to talk about it, I will be glad to listen. I hope everything is going better for you though. You are still in my prayers.

    ♦Andrea, hope you are feeling better!! How is that sweet nephew of yours doing? Is your sis ready to get moving with ya? Did you have a good time in Santa Cruz? OOOh I love it there. Talk to ya soon

    ♦trikstar, we are still wondering where you are? Come back to us

    ♦Jenn, I know you are going to have big time weight loss tomorrow, you always do. Good luck

    Over 200 Club? That'd be me! Can I join? I lost 100 lbs last year and have since gained back 20. I am ready to get that 20 back off as well as an additional 80 lbs. I could use the support. I lost it and that is why I gained back 20 lbs. I know that ultimately this is up to me and I can't rely on others to make it happen, but I could always use friends that have a common goal. Thanks and talk to you again soon.

    Assuming I can join ya'll, tomorrow is weigh in day??

    Good morning ladies!

    My Friday check-in numbers:
    09/11/09: 266.8
    09/18/09: 261.4 = -5.4 pounds :happy:
    But I'm still claiming TOM today -- feeling pretty bloated this morning. :ohwell:

    2.02% lost. The website to check percentages is blocked from the network at work for whatever reason, so I just divided the amount lost by last week's weight. I think that's right.

    Have a great day!

    Thanks for checking on me momma. Work ate me, then I was ill for most of the week. I'm waiting to weigh in because I don't want a false read from being sick. :/
    I'll still be scarce as work is still kicking my butt, and I have some personal issues that are whooping the rest of me. *hugs all*

    WOW jlb123! Great job on the big weight loss!

    Momma2four: Thanks for all your support. I'm doing a lot better, but still sad sometimes:brokenheart:
    And HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY!

    The scale wasn't too kind to me this week, I gained back the .9 that I lost last week ... but I'm not going to officially record it until tomorrow, because I kicked my butt at the Y this morning and I'm hoping it might show on the scale by tomorrow. I did an hour of body pump (weight lifting class), and then an unplanned hour of Turbo Kick - which I've been too intimidated to try before. It was a blast! I felt totally uncoordinated, and probably looked goofy some of the time ... but it was great exercise and I felt really good for pushing myself to do it! Yeah! :drinker:

    I did well with my water yesterday, got back on track with exercising, and almost stayed under my calories.
