Wow Magglett, fantastic job, you only have 4.5 to go till you reach your end of year goal, well done!

Hi all! i am new to site and would like to join your Thursday check in group. I have been on my journey for almost 10 months now and have lost 97 lbs to date. 2 lbs since last Thursday. Congrats to all on the weightloss.

Welcome Rdy2Lose128 to our group:flowerforyou:

Congratulations on all your weight loss so far. 97lbs is a lot. Good for you:drinker:

Sheri, Hope you feel better soon, I never had the flu but I am sure its not fun. I actually got the flu shot at work this week so hopefully I won't get it although you never know and I heard that this year the flu is supposed to be pretty bad.

Hope everyone has a great dauy

Tonya, I don't know if there is a Cheesecake Factory by you but thats a nice place. Also you can view the menu online and there is even a website where you can view the calories in each dish which is pretty good. They have all kinds of things, and their salads are really good. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the tip Tanya. I wish that I had been able to get back on here before this morning. Anniversary kinda turned out a lot different than expected. I ended up at the E.R with my niece who was rushed into emergency surgery late last night. Of all things it was due to an ear infection that didn't respond to Antibiotics. Poor thing. It was starting to spread to the brain and caused her jugular vein to clot. She is in critical but stable condition this morning. I know this doesn't relate to fitness or anything but I wanted to post this for all the moms out there. Ear infections are nothing to mess around with. My sister took her to the ER 5 times in the last 2 weeks and to the doctors office twice with severe headache, ear ache, neck pain, and neck swelling. And it took the 5th trip and 3rd antibiotic to fail for them to finally investigate further. These ERs are rushing these sick children and adults I might add out as fast as possible assuming that everyone is just in fear of the latest flu. They won't know for at least the next 48 hours if she is out of the woods or not. May have to do a second surgery. They had to drill away infected bone and removed so much fluid and a cyst which they think was the cause of the infection. They are planning on giving her blood thinning medicine through IV to try and get rid of the clot. If that doesn't work, then they have to go back in to tie it off from what I am told. All this and she is only 9 years old. Lesson to be learned from this is that when Our kids are sick and the doc says one thing but you feel in your gut it could be more, push push push and push some more until they slow down and listen. It could be a matter of life and death. I will from now on go with my gut.

Hi All,

Forgive the slackness of my post, busy week.

Down two . I am very happy with that.

A big welcome to the new ladies! I hope you find this group motivating.
Since joining, I am starting to recognize how important it is for me to drink water. i used to drink it faithfully ,8-10 large glasses....That is also when I was 40 pounds lighter.
Now I struggle to get eight tiny gulps in me a day.....So I think I am going to set a mini goal, to drink 8-10 large glasses a day................two down.....

take care!
going to see david copperfield tonite! xcited!!!!
