Good Morning Misfits,
Not much going on with me. Still not losing an ounce. Still have not lost what
I gained when I increased my exercise. Decided to back off exercise and regroup.
Have a great weekend.
Nancy

Nancy..good for you knowing when to regroup to move forward. We must never, ever stop looking/trying what works for us!

Eninad...better now than never! When I look back on my yo-yo weight loss history, basically my entire life, I cringe at all the wasted time, effort, and money I spent. I guess the most important aspect of that is the fact that I will never give up the fight and I am grateful for all the resources available now that were not available years ago.

Faye..you are under 200..that in and of itself is a feat!

Connie

Good afternoon, it was nice here yesterday, we had all the windows open. My sister is in the hospital, again, she has pnuemonia. She went in the middle of night Friday from the nursing home. I plan on going up there today. Yesterday my other sister and her daughter were there, when they left, she said she wanted to rest, and really didn't want anymore company. When my sister left she came over and we ran went shopping, for 3 hours, then we just hung and with my husband. It was nice she and I got together for so long, she has recently retired and she has mostly been at the hospital and nursing home. I am glad, she took some time for herself. I had some baked fish last night, while my husband had fried, he had went and got it while I was gone. Its still good, but I thunk next time I am going to get the fried, since we dont eat fish hardly ever. Tonight is the blood moon, I plan on checking it out, its been since 1982, the last time this super type blood moon, happened. Here its suppose to be seen at 10:11 till like 11:30. Have a good day, everyone . Janice

Janice..so sorry that your sis is back in the hospital. Thoughts and prayers coming for you and yours.
Connie

It's good that she is eating Janice - the food will give her strength and much needed nourishment!

First day back at work for me today after 2 weeks off....getting up was tough!!

Not best pleased when I was offered a seat on the bus as the person thought I was pregnant!! Never mind at least it shows there are still thoughtful people around!

Make it a good day losers

Faye

Happy Monday friends,

The weight loss battle continues. ENINAD- there is a MFP member on here who had the stomach staples surgery. She did
lose a lot of weight but alas she is higher in weight than I am now. I guess you can gain it back. Just stick to your plan
and you are in Onederland anyway so just keep going.

FAYE - I waited a long time for grandkids and will take Isaac even though he might be the one and only. I don't care
more to spoil. We love him so.

JANICE - Sorry about your sister but she is lucky to have such a supportive family.

ESTHER - Keep your back healthy and rest it should get better soon.

STEPHANIE - You are having a lot of parties and I have food at every boat event to sabotage our plans. We
have to be strong and motivate each other. Keep on going.

CONNIE - Sounds like a Fall purge for you and getting ready for that new house! Glad to hear someones weight is
going down. I started back on South Beach and still plugging away.


We spent the weekend at the boat and the weather on Saturday was cold I had to keep on adding layers. On
Sunday it was beautiful and warm and we took a 9 mile bike ride. It getting close to the end of boating season.
One more party at our club in October and the boat will be hauled out.

This morning Yoga class and doing laundry. After lunch will be checking out the Auction house to see
if they have any baby things like: play pens and high chairs to keep here at our house.

Enjoy the day!

Shirley

Connie-Glad to see the scale moving down for you, today it was up for me. I hope its sodium, because I didnt over eat the amount to gain2 1/2 pounds. We'll see. They say stress makes you gain, I hope thats not the case. Thanks again for your support. Janice

hi all,

connie, great news!!

Janice, don't sweat it and just keep moving forward, there is nothing linear or logical about weight loss.

shocking, I am down a lb today after all of the partying a food indulgences. just keep pushing forward!!

Ester, good luck at the doc!!

Stephanie

Afternoon

I see everyone is doing well and still plugging at their weight. I was down today too but not where I want. I am on a challenge
on here until Thankstgiving but not doing well. I am on week 2 of South Beach and still at it.

Today it has been raining all day so I did Leslie Sasone dvd today inside. Just finished praticing my choir music. We have
practice tonight and a social after that. I will try and keep my calories low.

Have a good evening

Shirley

Connie-Its been rainy here today, we really needed it. Purging I s good, I hate clutter.
Stepanie-I am glad you are down, after enjoying your weekend in New York.
Esther-I hope your leg isn't as bad as you think, hopefully the doctor gives you some good news. Enjoy the football game.
Marie-What are you sewing? I prefer to go to the grocery alone, my husband does rush me, when I'm there. When I shop for clothes, he knows its not fast, so he is better, but he normally don't go with me, which is good.
Eninad-I hope your daughters dress arrives in time, take a picture and post it to us. I can't wear heels very good either, my ankles have both had problems, one broke and one severely sprained, plus I am flat footed and they don't fit right. I have some boots that have a couple inch heel, but they are sturdy.
Shirley-Glad to hear your down some, there is like nine weeks left till Thanksgiving, thats hard to believe, I would love to lose some more before then. I am on that challenge, too.
Nancy-That is so good you are giving back and helping at the church ministry meal. I use to volunteer all the time, I spent alot of hours at my childrens schools, room mother, pta, governers cup, coaching cheerleading and helping my husband coach ball, I organized an auction/ chile supper, to pay for new stage curtains, for the school, and new playground equipment for the school. There was alot more but you get the picture, I wasn't working and I wanted to help, this was before I got divorced and had to work and support myself. I am glad I did it, it makes me feel good to know I helped.

I got my 100 miles in yesterday for the challenge on the Thanksgiving thread for September, I started off slow, because it was hot then, but I did complete it with 2 days to spare. See ya tommorrow. Janice

Hi everyone

Just checking in

Been a training course today which meant a shorter day hours wise for me so that's good!

I am thinking of signing up to a nutritionist so I can properly understand diets/foods and what's good for me! I think I need the extra accountability too!

We have to submit swimwear photos which I took yesterday and I was surprised what I actually looked like as I guess I never really look at my self in swimwear! I think these pics and the accountability will definitely give me the kick up the but I need!!

I will let you know how I get on :-)

Make it a good one losers
