CW:185 !!!!
10 pound lost so far!!!
Supper excited!!0 -
Have been having a great week and lost all the weight I gained on my recent trip(daily weigher) and stepped on the scale this morning to find it isn't working. Hope its just batteries. I had a terrible run in with a co-worker this afternoon and she attacked me hard core in front of my boss and two physician colleagues! I hope this doesn't cause me to ruin all the hard work of the week:) I will try and get batteries tomorrow and weigh in Sunday. Good weekend to everyone!
I hope you're writing up that coworker for her totally inappropriate behavior!!
It was pretty intense and I am glad that my employer witnessed the whole thing. I think I will look into our abuse policy and make a complaint. totally unprofessional and shameful! Still very distressing to be on the other end of it:( Thanks for your support:)
Absolutely. I'm an RN and have seen this happen (and have been on the receiving end) myself. It can ruin your whole week! Hopefully you can de-stress a bit this weekend

:drinker: Yes..we made it to the weekend! I hope you have some wonderful plans! I want to go with KcKramp to an oyster roast, that sounds like sooooooo much fun!!!!!
Kthom ~ I hope you have recovered from the mess with your co worker!! I hope you come out on top after that!! Please don't let it ruin you weekend
Sarah ~ You go girl - Please don't give up on the step. It is so fun once you get it. I still have alittle trouble with it but get better every time. My issue is different teachers.. most of the moves are the same but...still they have different styles. It took me about 10 or more classes before a kind of got it. I was not going to give up and it was fun!!! Step on!
Angie ~ I hope your son is getting better everyday now that he is home. Thinking of you
Kristinkt ~ Yippee - NSV I have really happy for you. That feels so great when things start to fit again
Neurotic virgo ~ YOU WILL make you mini goal!!!! you only have a few pounds we are behind you!!!! Go for more!
Well I got to the gym today and now I am at my Dad's. I help take care of him a few times a week. He has been paralyzed for 20 years, now his shoulders are worn out so we have to get him in and out of bed with a lift. This time of year is getting emontional for me.....last year on Halloween we were packing my parents to move closer to my sister and I. We were in the garage going through things when I watched my Mom's left side of her face drop and she started talking jibberish. She had a terrible stroke. Long story short she passed on November 19th 2010. She never got to live in her new house
My Dad now lives alone and is doing GREAT! We have a caregiver who comes as much as he can afford and my sister and I share the rest of the time. Today is my day and some of the reason for sharing this is my Dad and his attitude. I got here after the gym and got him his coffee and paper. I asked " How are you today Dad??" He said Cheerfully...."I'm fine and I've decided I always will be!!!" :happy: He has taught me how to be positive and reminded me that we choose our attitude. We are also choosing our activity and what we put in our mouths. I love him 
I hope you all have a super fantastic weekend! And remember to make Good Choices!! :bigsmile:0 -

am thinking of you and your family this time of the year. Sorry to hear about your mother. Your father sounds like an amazing man. It does show that we do get to choose our attitudes no matter what happens. I hope I can be half that gracious with the challenges I have and will show the same kind of strength as your father for challenges I will face in the future.0 -

Wow! I am learning that there are a lot of people in this world that can be quite mean and abusive like that. In my case, what has always seemed to cause it is jealousy. So, in a way, I guess that means that you must be an amazing person. Why else would she be jealous of you... perhaps I should also take my own advice on this one too... I encountered a new bump today and started to struggle again. I am not going to let one person destroy the person that I am. I will not stoop to her level and feel the need to be as nasty to her as she has been mean to me. However, I do whatever I can to protect myself. You should do the same thing too. Filing in a complaint and/or discussing it with your boss that witnessed it, might be a great place to start.
I get my strength fro others. Talking to others has helped me a great deal tonight. I hope that knowing that you are not alone dealing with a nasty person, helps you a little. Take care of yourself, and hang in there. One of my favorite quote when the going gets tough is, "This too shall pass"
Thanks I have looked at it with a new light today and it really is her problem, not mine. I am not going to give her the power to affect how I treat myself:)0 -
Hope my weigh in is a good one tomorrow, TOM started today so we'll see. Hope everyone is having an awesome weekend!!0

todays weight: 158.4lbs!
Only 0.2lbs loss, but its better than nothing! Since we started this group, my weight has fluctuated every week, so im glad its finally going in the right direction!!0 -
CW: 243
Again, another pound gone.
Gotta be honest - bad choices this past week and no time to get many of the challenges done, so I'm pleased to be down any weight at all.
This week will be better. Much less busy and I've already planned out very healthy meals, so it should be easier to stay on track.
Hope everyone has a great day!0 -
CW: 154.6
yayayay!! 2lbs down! I guess this cold and the lots of liquid I've been drinking was good to me...now to keep it up when I feel better...
thanks everyone for the well wishes during the week 0 -
cw: 189
2 pounds gone & I am pretty happy to say it! Congratulations to all with losses this week. It looks as though there will be several :flowerforyou: And for everyone making good decisions no matter what the scale says - just remember that you are making healthy choices that not so very long ago you were not making. Those healthy choices are gonna show... sometimes on the scale but all the time in other ways like in looser clothing, stronger muscles, a healthy glow, more energy, and the list goes on. So smile for the good things you are doing for yourself & in turn for the ones you love.:bigsmile:
Also - I want to add that my DH showed me the other day that he can get his wedding ring on again! He hasn't been able to wear it for awhile. He is also trying to make some healthier choices in support of my weightloss journey.0 -

Good luck everyone with the week ahead.

Hey guys!
Sorry I haven't been activily posting this week it's Been crazy! I got
Really sick Tuesday and stayed sick all week. Today is my first day with no medicine so we will see if I stay feeling good. Grand opening weekend has been pretty busy today is my last day at the new shop until Friday and I am here all by myself until 6 tonight. Hopping it goes well!
Friday was very difficult for me! And when my mom calls me later those
Emotions will return. I have two dalmations at my moms house and we've had both since they were puppies. Katie we got when she was 1 and less than a year later she gave birth to Petie. She was still young so she wouldn't let the litter feed long story short Petie was the only puppy out of nine to live and we had to bottle feed
Her. Now 11 years later Petie has not been doing good trouble breathing barley eating the whole nine. There is nothing the vet can do to help her and its getting worst. Friday my mom called me and informed me that Sunday (today) they were having her put down They couldn't watch her suffer anymore.. So I got off work at 5 and went
To see my baby girl I stayed with her till 11 that night holding her and crying and coming to terms with the fact that I would never see her again :-( It was a very difficult night but after talking to her and my mom I understood why it had to be done. Well today is the day ....i don't know what time or if my mom is going to call me or what. I'm very sad and trying to be strong because I know it's for the best
Sorry so long just needed to get itout in the open
Judy you will be in my prayers these next few weeks! The first year is
Usually the hardest !0 -

I was where you are 2 1/2 years ago with our beloved first dog - your post still brings up the feelings of pain and loss. My thoughts are with you.
