Howdy Gals!

Wow, so sorry I've been away, but some pretty good reading catching up!

I have NOT been good to myself. I'm not eating well, not taking my vitamins, working out, and (oh man, this is REALLY bad) not washing my face every night before bed. The fridge is empty of good foods and it's going to take a lot of cash to fill 'er up. Sigh!

WooHoo Dreamer... I can't wait to hear how your surgery went. You HAVE to BELIEVE how much better your mobility will be...(hoping=hoping=hoping=for you). I'm so sorry to read about your FIL. I can understand how your MIL feels, and I'm sure she will appreciate her children's concerns...once they get through to her. Happy B-Day to your Daughter and thank goodness you have to be on the wagon....another birthday you will remember.

Vicky....I hate to say it, but yes, your children WILL sleep in their teens...TOO MUCH! OMG my Blood Pressure STILL rises when I think back trying to wake up our boys as teens to get them to do chores, go to school, join us for brunch on Saturday mornings (the only mornings my DH was home for a morning meal most times). My sister used to fall out of bed all the time when we were youngsters...I thought she wan an anomaly. Who'd a thunk it happens to other kids! BTW--go for the baby...just my opinion. Your in-laws sound like they had quite the life! I bet if they wrote a book it would be a pretty good read. Did you really use the word "recon"? Wow, a Howdy salutation to me and a recon on your post! You're becoming almost Americanized! Good job on the scale, by the way..I mean it!

Okay. Tomorrow I'm going to weigh in, meditate and focus on the body image I want (and how I want to feel for the rest of my life), plan my meals and shopping list and shop! That alone should burn more calories than I'll take in..s'pose?

Happy Losing....*Ü*....Vicki

Checking in again today..will posting more often get this thread going again?

I think i'm gaining a bit more control of myself. There was some ban and jerry's on offer at the local shop yesterday and i bought some. Normally i'd just sit and eat the whole thing (500ml) which i know is awful but i have difficulty stopping, I have been makign sure we don't have things like that in but i was feelign a bit blah yesterday and the offer was good. Anyway i managed to just have a litte bit and put the carton back in the freezer. I know it probably sounds a bit pathetic to most if not all of you but that was big acheivement for me. My very first NSV.

4 mile walk, huh? Good girl I need to get off my butt and move, too. Just soooo hard to start. I moved my signature and ticker to where I was this morning. I actually moved my scale to the bathroom. It was in my sewing/exercise room. I'll see it more often where it is, now...:huh:

Lite food day...DH and I took a drive (too cool and cloudy for a ride on the motorcycles) and had lunch at a local saloon. Had a ceasar chicken wrap, ate ½ and took the other ½ for dinner, with the little bag of popato chips.

Better get going and get ready for my work day tomorrow. See ya later.

Happy Losing...Vicki *Ü*

Haven't checked in for awhile - it's been a depressing time around here.
My FIL passed away 30 minutes after I go home from my surgery on the 24th. So between recuperating & crying, I've been an emotional mess.
The viewing was a few days ago & I couldn't even cry. I blame it on the meds that I am on.
The funeral is on Friday & not being able to help my husband work on what needs to be done (color guard, flag box) has stressed me out.
Going back to the doctor tomorrow because the swelling of my foot has gone down, which has loosened the gauze wrapped around my foot. The cast has rubbed against the gauze & shredded it. So now my foot is rubbing against the cast & causing me pain. This means a trip back to the doctor tomorrow to get this cast cut off, new gauze put on & a new cast made. UGH!!!!
I stepped on the scale before my surgery & it read 251. This means I have lost another 1/2 pound since my last weigh in on the 22nd. :happy:

hi all

Not having a happy day. I've put on a pound, and i have been so good this week aswell. I think this is the first week where i haven't had a day where i've gone over. I really wanted to lose more than a pound.which is pretty much my average weekly loss. I lost a pound on monday and it's back on with an extra one today. I'm so peed off with it.

Hi ladies

I thought I was doing good but then spent a week eating everything my kid was eating I need help getting back on track. I'm getting married in two months and would like to at least fit in my dress lol Any help would be great even just a friend to talk to would be nice all my friends r guys and they really don't get the weight thing

I found you guys again!!!!!!!!

I weighed myself today. 237 is what the scale showed but I don't think it will count since I can't put full weight on my right foot yet. It would be nice though. :laugh:

Hi I'm Brittany and I'd love to join you ladies!

Ok here I am AGAIN trying to get back on track. Anita I will help you if you help me. I've gained 10lbs since Easter. So now I have to work at getting that off before I get any headway on losing again. I've kept off 37lbs so that is good!

Hawaiian Dreamer I am so sorry this year has been so rough. I will keep you in my prayers. Things just have to get better for you.

Hello Mizz nice to have you here. Our little group seems to have dwindled but hopefully we can be a support for you.

Kelly: glad you found the group. I was afraid I'd not find the group it's been so long since I have been on. Last time I was on Cyndi was saying she was going to start us a new thread and it looks like she never did THANK GOD LOL.

A gal at work had been on weight watchers for a little over a year and lost 100 lbs and was looking great...then she got pregnant with twins and gained all of it back. The twins are 2 yrs old now and she wants to lose so bad again. We talked about helping one another out. I thought we were going to make a plan together but we didn't talk anymore about it....well this weekend she posted on facebook that she had lost 6 lbs in her first week of trying to lose. She posted her weight and what she had lost. well I am about 17 lbs less than her...and I plan to keep it that way LOL. When she was pregnant with the twins it was summer and she was sooo hot and one day I showed up to work and she said to me..."I am sooo hot I almost called you this morning to ask to borrow one of your sun dresses". And she was HUGE with twins....it really hurt my feelings because I KNEW I wasn't that big. SO now I can't let her get smaller than me out of principle...so there is MY motivation LOL. So yesterday I went and bought myself some foods for the week and hopefully I can get back on track.

Good luck this week gals. My goal for the week is to post on here and log my food every day for the week and to drink water. I can't say how much water yet but I don't drink water usually so even if I get one glass of water in me I've done well LOL.

Have a great day and Please ladies talk to me I need it. I need to know you are listening and care. I will try to let you know I am listening and I care too.

Luv to all

Deb

Just wanted to check in ... I am running late for work.. I will check in on the posts when I get there....

Everyone have a great day.... Talk to ya in a bit...

Anita

I've had a cough for 2 weeks and on saturday i woke up and my cough had been joined by a cold. I've been gluggling down cough medicine which it didn't occur to me must be a zillion cals as it's all full of sugar and throat lozengers which are about 20 cals a piece. I need it though so i'm having it. i'v retold the OH he's got to shoot me or something to put me out of my misery if i'm still coughing tomorrow.

On the bright side my eating has been pretty good

How's everyone else?

Howdy Gals!!!!

I've checked in here several times and heard Vicky's echoes "Is anybody out there...there...theree...there..." I wanted to reply but was too embarrassed for not sticking with it. Life has been very busy, I've not put my diet in the forefront and have probably gain 5 pounds...twice...this summer so far. At least I'm not where I started!

Dreamer, thanks for asking me to be your "friend". You have been on my mind many times these last few weeks. How's the foot doing? So sorry it's been a tough year for you...too many losses! I had a Nana! She left us when I was 17...so glad you got more time with yours. We're here for you, honey!

Deb...been keeping my eye on you on FB. Happy about your "Grandma-hood"...now get fit and healthy so you can REALLY enjoy them! Keeping ahead of the game with your co-worker is a good motivation too.

Vicky, sorry you and Deb are under the weather. That's a relative condition, as under the weather in Washington State is REALLY ill...it's been a rather chilly summer so far...even on the East side! Watch that cough...it can turn into something quite serious if not checked.

Okay...off to bed. See ya tomorrow!

Happy Losing....*Ü*....Vicki

Howdy Gals,

Hehehehehehe...couldn't fit the boob part, huh Deb? Makes me giggle...:laugh: Serves her right (oh, sorry, that wasn't very gracious was it)

Good job with the walk..

Hi Nita, glad to see more of you. I know time is tight, but give us a little more of yourself! We can't help if we don't know your struggles. They may seem trivial to you, but they ARE what is keeping you from your goal.

I am NOT dieting this week, nor exercising, or trying (very hard). I just want to get through the weekend being "normal". THEN we'll see what next week brings.

Happy Losing...*Ü* Vicki
