    You know I was thinking about all of the other diets out there. So many diets tell what you can or cannot eat or drink. I thought about it, and realized that I like this site better, because it does teach you how to stay where you need to to lose, without deprevation. I love Myfitnesspal and I love ya'll. I'm going to do this and feel healthy and wonderful. I am so in the spirit right now.

    Well gotta make dinner. We're having Jenny o turkey loaf w/ mashed potatoes and corn on the cob, YUM!!!!

    Later's!:drinker:

    cheer up rose look at that 11#s gone, never to return right? don't let the food get control.

    we are all stronger than that food calling our names.
    the number on the scale is just for information.
    life's a gift. live everyday as a thank you card.

    hope this helps get people back at it. i know for me i am tired of struggling to lose this weight. i want it gone.

    gonna do a little more packing

    Hmm... it's still TOM for me.. but I think I weight 153 this week. :-/ I work I work I work, and I don't lose anything. BUT like the rest of you, I won't give up. Eventually the weight will budge and I will reach my goal! :laugh: So until then I will try to stick to my calories and keep working out... and at the very least, maybe I can lose some inches... WHY CANT I GET AWAY FROM THE 150's!!! SHEESH! I will be in the 140's by the end of this challenge Mark my words! lol... and if not, un-mark my words! LOL :noway: Oh I did Turbo Jam at 3 am today!! And yes I think Cortisol IS adding to my belly faT! lol!


    I was told I look like this lady from some police show today... lol. So now I have to check out My boys and what ever police show that was!

    **Oh I did well on my test!! YAY!!!! Thank God! 2 more tests and this year will be over. Then we go through hell month. Actually Hell 6 weeks... then take Boards!

    Hey ladies. Just wanted to drop in and say hello!

    For those losing weight....way to go!
    For those not.....I understand your frustration!

    I saw the doc today. Was given the ok to return to normal life and activity! Said to beware of the changes in my digestive system. Right now I am ok but it could change. Gave some more blood. He thought I looked super pale still. Wanted to check my blood count. Yikes. He also scared me. Said if we cant figure out this anemia thing then the next step is a bone marrow biopsy. Nothing good can come of that. I hope my GYN has an answer for me. I really dont want to travel down the other road!

    Miss you all! :heart:

    Hi Sixers.
    I gained back 2.5 of the 3lbs I lost last week. :laugh: Oh well!

    Things have been going downhill, on and off, for about the past 7 years of my marriage (8 years married this June, 11.5 years together), and everything has finally come to a head. I am moving out tomorrow. Told the husband I was going to stay with my mom, just neglected to mention I never intend to return and I'm taking (much less than) half the furniture with me. Really, I'm only taking a couple small items and he can keep the rest. I just want out. I'm sick of the years of emotional neglect and torturous unhappiness that has invaded my soul. I'm ready to be happy... and for me that means I have to move out. I am ready to live life to the fullest.

    Also means I'm eating my fears. Change is scary. All change, good or bad. Ugh... trying to control this eating. Doing okay today... 55 cals still available and I intend not to eat a single one.

    I was going to do personals but I can't focus. I'm very self centered right now; I'm sorry. :frown: Maybe another day I can focus better on others. Today isn't my day. I'm too nervous.

    xo,
    Lauryn

    Chipper, that made me smile, THANK YOU!


    I'm moving out today. Waiting on Mom and Dad and BIL to get here to assist. I'm trying to pull the things I'm taking with me. Was panicked this morning, talked to my best friend on the phone for almost an hour, and I'm more centered now. Thank goodness the sun is shining and it's warm... a dreary day would have been awful.

    Redsox... thanks! Yea I'm hoping to make it out of the 150's soon!! Gotta stay focused. Starting a new "bootcamp" and trying to stay organized, mentally and in my personal life, so I can use my time wisely!

    Lauryn- glad it's a sun shiny day for you! We have lots of rain!! I volunteered to take all your rain so you could enjoy the sun! :flowerforyou: hope you have a great day...

    DrTamm- Hey Sis! miss ya<---- up date us! P.s. she's losing lots!

    chipper- After these last 2 tests we study for 6 weeks straight then take a culmulative 2 year exam. Once I pass ;-) I will enter my 3rd year and begin working in the hospital full time! Going to be high stress, so I'm really wanting to get my weight in check NOW! so I can get stress relieving strategies under control now! I'm already thinking about how I will sneak snacks in my pocket so I don't pass out from hunger and exhaustion! LOL :blushing:

    amylou, pedalhound, kristin , nellie HI!
    Hmm did i miss anyone!? Sorry if I did... you are stil lin my heart! :heart:

    Thank goodness the sun is shining and it's warm... a dreary day would have been awful.

    DH & i were just talking about this today...we are both true believers things happen for a reason. you may not know the reason until later that day, month, year....or ever.

    reasoning...."the sun is shining and it's warm"....maybe it's the right time and place to do it and move on to be happy. don't know who or what you believe in. i believe in god and he always wants us to be happy, to find our happiness. go and find yours. we all deserve it.


    tiff... i just couldn't do that....best of luck. yes, good idea to get the eating habits set in stone. then you can do it without thinking. it will become second nature to you.....

    later :heart:
