@Iamafrespirit I am totally in agreement with @deepwoodslady! You have to be soooo patient. I try (TRY!) to remind myself that the number on the scale is just "data". I use it to monitor LONG TERM TRENDS, not daily fluctuations. If you get to attached to the daily fluctuations you will lose your mind. Like for example,…

@deepwoodslady CONGRATULATIONS!!! YOU DID IT!!! *happy dance* :)

@shaumom Hey, you are off to a great start!! Keep it going! I like the "outside for 30 min" goal. That is a great to keep your spirits up and good for your mental health!

@musicsax 19 Days!!! That is awesome!!! GREAT JOB!!!

Condolences on the loss of your father-in-law. Also, losing 3 jobs in a row is really tough on your self-esteem. When my hubby was trying to break into a new industry he lost a lot of jobs in succession and he almost gave up. I encouraged him to keep trying - and today he is very successful in his chosen career and is very…

@cpanus HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

@quiltingjaine BTW, I went ahead and lowered my goal-weight by 5 pounds. I figure, what the heck, it can't hurt to try. ;)

@Iamafrespirit You got this!! :)

@deepwoodslady Ohhhhhh. Ah well. I guess I will have to create the app, then. ;) Thanks for letting know. :)

@NuggetBrain You are KILLIN it. Way to go. I am proud of you even though I don't know you! :)

Thank you!!! :) I was just thinking how kind you are and then I read your post directed to me!! My suspicions were confirmed. ;)

Started these 10 day challenges!! Genius!!! So achievable!! With always a chance of redemption, right around the corner! :)

@39flavours Oh honey, I am so sorry you are going through this. I don't have much experience with death, and I have zero experience with raising kids. But I have done a buttload of counselling in the last year and the one word that comes to mind is "boundaries". As in, it is okay to be understanding of your ex's behaviour,…

@HoopsGuy72 Thank you! I have only been here for 6 rounds but I am beginning to see the wisdom in writing it out! I notice that when I first started my comments were only a few words long. Now... not so much. Lol. I notice that you have recently "returned" and I am looking forward to reading more of your posts and…

Never apologize for getting it off your chest, we all do it and we all support each other. Good to hear you are starting to feel better, try not to do too much too early, build up to it. Your pharmacist sounds very sensible and looking at your height I reckon she's spot on. Take care, and hope your DH starts to feel better…

@quiltingjaine Thanks! Yeah, I think I know what you mean about "feeling right"... it is just that some days I feel "right" and some days I feel "not right" and most days I am "not quite right!" ;) I have seen various forms of the BMI chart, (some that factor in age, etc.) but my weightloss surgeon warned me against using…

@shmmm3 I totally get feeling upset about screwing up. I have been there one million times, myself. I will give you some advice, however, or at least, something that has helped me: read through your comments from the past few days, and see all the wins! You felt tighter, you moderated your alcohol, you avoided a sugar…

@tishawj HAHA! Point taken. Having grown up in Northern Ontario I am familiar with having to dig out a driveway. Lol. However, there is a reason I moved to Southern Ontario and I am NEVER going back. :smiley:

@fmfdfa2020 EXCELLENT JOB!!!!
