Clarkjoy... Welcome to the 50's... Happy birthday early. 50 is not all that bad, yeah there is the menopause garbage, but even that too will end. I turned 53 in October and, though I still have weight to lose, I have never felt better. Feel free to add me if you'd like.

I too am a huge fan/user of essential oils....

Beverk, I would love to take on this 10 week challenge with you. I myself, have been under so many things this past 6 months or so and am at my whits end. I need to get rid of some "fat" to motivate me to complete my goals. If I know that someone is watching over me and keeping me accountable, it helps me SO much to…

Good morning hatters. Thank you all for your advice. I will be scheduling an appointment with my gyno soon, just to be on the safe side. I see my oncologist a week from today and I will probably touch base with him on it too. Tammy and Carol, I am so sorry to hear about the “letters” you have received. Our university went…

Snoozie, I LOVE that song. The second I read your topic for the month the song started playing in my head! Seehe you have THE best pictures always… your photos always say what each one of us feels. Thank you! Also, I had no idea you lived in Tucson… I apologize I never acknowledged that, I live in Glendale; my brother…

Hey ladies, just wanted to let you all know that I am doing okay. We've just been SO busy these past couple of weeks. My baby graduated high school :sad: , my oldest finally found a venue for her wedding in January, the house build is slowly moving forward (all the paperwork! :grumble: ) We hope to actually see ground…

Julie, Welcome to the MADHatters... I agree with every word the other ladies have said. You will find amazing support with this wonderful group of ladies. Just like Cheryl said, its been a busy time for us all, but the one thing I know and feel so blessed by, is that I know beyond a shadow of a doubt I can log in here…
-
Kathy, I am SO sorry to hear about your job loss. I commend your attitude though, its a sign that it is time to move on and take care of you. Prayers covering you my dear. Just finished chemo... only 2 more to go! Doc is now talking radiation potential. He wants to do the PETscan first. So we'll see.... So far doing okay.…

That recipe sounds amazing... and so very simple. And really any fish would be good with it. I've been getting into Mahi Mahi and Tilapia lately, both should be good. Can't wait to try it... maybe this weekend...

The oar picture is perfect. I don't care which one I use, all will give me/us splinters (pain/discomfort) until I/we get calloused (habitual in logging/exercising). Happy Friday everyone! Hope your day is going fantastic! I wanted to say thank you for all the kind words and virtual support you all are offering me right…
-
Happy May Day Everyone… Thank you all for your well wishes and words of encouragement. Yes, you all are correct, I have to take this one day at a time, but ya’all know me… impatient and, well outright cheap… The biggest reason I am complaining that I am so bloated and mad that I am gaining weight back with the chemo… it’s…

Hey Ladies... remember me? :blushing: I wanted to one… ask if I can return and two… explain where I've been for six+ months.... From October forward my little world has been spinning out of control. We found out that my sister was diagnosed with breast cancer. After losing my mom and brother to cancer, my other sister and…
-
Ladies, I actually had a couple minutes that I could log on a real computer and say hi. I want you to know I miss you all SO MUCH. In the past months things have just really gotten insane. Some bad, some good, all just crazy. :noway: We went through another lay off at work (oops not supposed to say layoff, its a "re-org")…
-
Ladies, Snooze, you are always such an inspiration and a blessing to “wake up to” so to speak. You help us all step out of our comfort zones to do something kind for ourselves as well as others. Thank you. I have missed you ladies so much! Bear with me for a few more days/weeks and I will be back on line and staying in…
-
Good morning my fellow hatters… I apologize that I have been MIA for the past week basically. Tensions have been extremely high at work as we seem to be going through a house cleaning. I’ve lost 2 co-workers and at least 5 faculty members that I love. There are more that have left or been asked to leave as well at…
-
Good morning/afternoon Madhatters! Hope Wednesday has treated everyone kindly today. Had a long night again… Not because of pills, sweats, or otherwise. Just dummy me, I got started on a book and before I knew it, it was 2 am. Today is going to be a long one. So much for giving up coffee today for my water retention! Along…
-
Snooze, You really need to write a book my love. Your words always are such an inspiration to me. We all know that “diet” is a four letter word that we never should be using. That we need to change our minds, hearts and thoughts to grasp a new lifestyle of health, not just a bandage to bridge us from one weight loss event…
-
Good Monday morning everyone…. Sorry I was MIA yesterday. Sunday’s are my long and busy day. I am basically at church the whole day. With going for “myself” in the morning, then I am a youth leader at the High School group in the evening. My hubby and I have a few hours in between to eat and just chill together. I only…
-
Ladies, Thank you!!! In such a short time, you have no idea how much you've all come to mean to me.... Okay, I’ve had my pity party and went and beat myself up on my treadmill and stationary bike. No worries, I won’t give up. I just needed to scream that I wanted too!!! If you’ll note, my first response was to come to you…
-
I will, on one condition.... LOL Don't call yourself a fatass... You are beautiful, maybe "plumper" than some, but hey, we all can't be stick figures and God knows I DON'T WANT TO BE...
-
Ladies, I need you! I knew I had a rough week, but didn't think it was that rough. I am UP 4 effing pounds! up 4, really, no way. I need hugs ladies, I am ready to scream "I give up, I just don't care anymore"!!! :sad:…
-
Yessss!!!! This might stop a few more people. Granted even though the population knows cigarettes cause cancer, they still smoke. But hey if we can save just one???
-
Hey ladies, happy Thursday…. Sorry I was MIA yesterday. I was fighting a migraine, unfortunately IT won. I drank a ton of coffee/caffeine and even tried running/walking to get it to stop, but all I did was cause myself more pain and nausea. I had an Rx for Zomig, but I let it run out. I really hate taking medication. So…
-
Ladies, Tremendous Tuesday to everyone!!! I pray you all have had, or are having a great day today. Mine is going okay thank you... Day 2 of having daughters cat at home with us. Okay, does he not realize that I am premenopausal, having difficulties sleeping already, sweating like an iced tea on the patio table, and ready…

Wow Kim, sounds like an epidemic, my daughter is moving back with me too for a spell.... Tough weekend for all.
-
Good morning my dear ladies! How I missed you all... I’m sorry that I was non-existent from Saturday morning on. And no, it wasn’t because my hubby kidnapped me and took me to San Fran for our Anniversary or anything like that (dang it…) I received a text from my oldest daughter. She’s been living on her own for…
-
Good Saturday Morning ladies. So, had a rough start to my day as Saturday is my weigh in day. I didn't gain, however I didn't loose either. As I stated on my status, the scale did show a 2.4% fat mass loss. I am taking that and running with it today! I know I busted my butt last week. Yes, as my diary shows, last night I…
-
Ladies, many of you may already be in dreamland...... I pray that your dreams are sweet and enjoyable. Well, my IPOM for the day... after only 4 hours sleep last night and an insanely busy day at work, I still came home and did my work out!!! :bigsmile: I did my 30 mins of 5 - 5.5 mph run and, the walking 3 mph I do, is…
-
My fellow Mad Hatters…. Wow, you guys are busy early in the mornings!!! I have been so swamped at work that this I the first time I’ve been able to log on and say “good morning” and its already afternoon and there are 2 plus pages already. Thank you all for the well wishes on my “menopausal night-mares”. Just me being…
-
I agree with the Rx advice to a point.... Just be careful and Really pay Attention to yourself... I went on med's for a while after my divorce and to be honest with you, they made my symptoms worse! I had never really thought about suicide, but when I was on one of the many they tried with me, not only was it constantly on…
