Hi everyone, how goes the battle? My weight has been plus or minus 4 pounds of the plateau for about a month, so I can see I need to put MFP back on the front burner. So, here I am. Exercising this morning, have had breakfast, and then off to work. I feel pretty out of touch, except for knowing what some of you are doing…

Hey gang, been catching up on posts - WOW what is that commercial - Life is drama? Looks like everyone is in for their share. Kelli - sorry, man - that sounds like the trip from hell. If there is a silver lining, its that the kids love you, and you didn't murder your dad. It sounds like thats no small feat. So, eat a…

Hi everyone - remember me? What a slug I have been! And, no, I did not run off with the tailor! Thanks to all of you for staying in touch with me. Its been an amazing blessing to get your all your PMs. So, in a nutshell, here is what I've been doing for the past month. Can't believe its been that long. Took a short…

Ok, I am going to have to find a new tailor. I hope everyone is sitting down. I went back to my tiny little Italian tailor today to pick up some pants that were ready for me. While I was there, he asked me if I were married. I said no. He asked me if I were with anyone. Again, I said no. Am starting to feel wierd, but…

Cyndi, my friend - an inch is an inch. There are no small inches, only inches. The chocolate milk has finally gone to your head. I expected this to happen one day. :wink: But, otherwise. congrats on the inches lost. Have a story for you all. I have been trying to find clothes in my vast array of clothing from sized 18 to…

Morning everyone, Cyndi, {{{{{Big Hug}}}}} I'm so sorry. I know it doesn't help that I know how you feel. I know it doesn't help that we all feel for you. But, know we do. I agree with lulu, keep huggin that kid. We will keep huggin you. Other stuff - the corrective plan is generally working. Its really interesting to me…

ii gang, just a quick check in. I still need to exercise, and then get to work. So far, meal plan is working. I have been drinking my water, so thats all good. So, all you scale watchers, here is a challenge: What does it mean that we watch the scales like that? I used to do it too. Heaven knows, those of you that have…

Lulu, cool pics! I'm hoping your arm is too tired to throw that slipper! However, I don't plan on needing you to throw it, anyway! :happy: Got meals all planned, and am drinking water like a camel. All good. Had salmon and broccoli for dinner. Ready to hit the exercise trail tomorrow. Spent some time on the patio today,…

Hi, team how is everyone. Crazybee - there is a myfitnesspal chat room. I've been there, but don't actually remember very well. Buy, I am betting Cyndi knows... If not, I will do some research and see if I can't get my memory jogged. So, here is my report on the plan I mentioned yesterday. Drinking more warer - yes, check.…

Welcome kjllose! This is a great team. Its nice to have new folks, keeps us all fresh! Well team, here are my goals for the next week: 1. WATER, WATER, gotta drink my water! Thats been a problem this last week. 2. Plan meals and log everything. That, too is a place I fell down this past week. 3. Fiber - gotta get more in…

just wanted to thank everyone again. I just celebrated my 4 months here on MFP. In that time, I've lost nearly 80 lbs. You guys have been a lifesaver for me. Thanks! I blogged about it recently. But your help has been really wonderful! Thanks.

Morning gang! How are you all. I am heading for work in a few - that last audit is today. YAY!!!!!!! Then, perhaps I can get life back to normal for a minute. Whatever that is. Nita, congrats on the new addition. Been quite a year for your family. Cyndi I just wanted to say I am so proud of you for giving up smoking. I…

Morning team!! How is everyone? Lisa, thanks for your kind words. But, really - its all you girl. Seriously. you rock! I kind of get how you feel - its like rediscovering life, and finding it in color for the first time. Its glorious, and sometimes terrifying, but who would trade it for anything less??? So, keep up the…

YAY! :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: GO LISA!!!!:heart: :heart: :heart: GO LISA!!!!!:smooched: Lisa, I was thinking about you yesterday, and wondering how things went! WOW, girl, you ROCK! I can't thank you enough for taking my father, and grandfather with you!!! What an inspiration! AND, I hope you are so proud of…

Morning everyone! I've been catching up on how everyone is. So, reading last week's posts, which I had not really done well for the past few days. Sounds like everyone has a lot going on. And, as usual, not everything is good. I don't know what it is about life that requires us to experience pain and sadness, but I know…

Hello team! I'm back! Sorry to have been such a flake this past few days. It seems like every now and then, life deals you a perfect storm of events. Well, It hasn't been exactly a perfect storm, but maybe more like a series of really decent squalls. Family, work and friends have just kept me hopping about 14 - 18 hours a…

Prayerfulmom, you are the inspiring one! Thanks for sharing all you are doing with us! Hey, Li4g, those are the cutest darn cats ever! Everyone else, how are you? Take care, and hope to be back to full speed here soon.

Good morning team! How is everyone? I've been in trainings this past two days and still had a full work day after, so its been 14 hour days at work for me. I am too old for this stuff! I've done a pretty good job eating, I think, considering its difficult to know about portion sizes when you are eating out. One day, the…

Lisa, you're just amazing!

Hi team! How are you all? Yesterday was such a drag at work. We had this staff retreat that just sort of blew up! Social workers and their feelings..... :noway: Geesh! Ok, and on top of all that, no exercise yesterday. But I am pleased to report, the eating is still under control. I have been struggling to drink all my…

Hi gang, had to work today. A wretched staff retreat. It was terrible. Oh well. Over now. think I will try to work up the energy to work out. Prolly not. I'm really exhausted from the retreat. HATED it. Oh well. Just wanted to check in. See all y'all later.

Morning team, how is everyone. I don't really have any news this morning. Life is good, I found some pants I had forgotten about that actually fit, so I have got some things I can wear. Again, thanks so much Kelli for the shirts! Lifesavers, and I have gotten compliments on everyone I have worn! Four to work, including our…

Good evening team. Lisa, what an amazing woman you are. Thank you so much! Here are my names: Bill Johnson (my dad - currently managing prostate cancer quite well.) Carl Johnson (his father, my grandfather and a really great guy. Died of prostate cancer.)

Sorry, girl - it sucks! But, like adopt4 said, it will pass. It took me the better part of a week. There is some evidence that the carbs we crave have similar effect in our bodies to opiates. I blogged about it a few weeks ago. In the mean time, what works for me is (1) eat some lean protein and (2) exercise. HANG IN THERE!
