I'm with you - can't stand looking at my photos.. Maybe why I do not have any recent ones for AV Must work on that this weekend. Will try to get some pics of new horse as well.. How is the morning going so far? There is some rare sunshine here in CT - but I hear it will turn to T-storms by the time I can get out of work to…

Hey Marla - I'll be 46 on the 6th - how funny is that??:laugh: :laugh:

It sounds like the FALL used to be an even "busier" time for you. HEHEHEH [/quote] [/quote] isn't that funny - my kids were born in mid-sept and early Nov. We figured out that it was Christmas and Valentines day..:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Love your new AV, BTW - you are so photogenic..

Yea!! Renae is joining.. Welcome Renae..:flowerforyou:

That is awesome.. it is still so new.. I can't believe it has been 14 years already - everyone always says this, but it really does feel like I just married him.. great guy..

Happy aniversary to all those celebrating this month.. :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: Mine is next month - another great month for weddings - roses are out..:heart:

Wow!! Look at all the new players - awesome.. Welcome all - this is a great team, and very supportive. We are glad to have you all. :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

Hang in there MG - you are amazing and have come so far already. My prayers for the best outcome.. Janie

thanks for the reminder tresa - I needed that Hang in there, you too will get through this. One thing I have just started doing to keep my hands busy at night or in the afternoon (my trigger times for stress eating) is to post and lurk on the posts here at MFP. There are a couple of posts that are just for fun - no drama…

sorry for the duplicate - my computer is cranky today:grumble:

Or, if you don't want to get a HRM, try only eating half your exercise calories - or any of the other suggestions. You'll beat this..

Hi natie I'm not sure you are doing anything wrong. I think weight loss is such an up and down thing by nature that it often takes longer than a few weeks to see any real changes. One thought I had (for what it's worth): have you tried using a heart rate monitor? I know for me, when I started using the HRM, I found that I…

All that matters is that you are back.. :smokin: :smokin: We love you Amanda - hang in there.. :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: Janie

Run away - seriously, don't walk - RUN.. sounds like a good reason to take the day off..

Yup, I have to be my own Dave now...*sigh* :cry:

Good morning gang.. I had a horrible weigh in this morning (Sam, coming soon), so this weeks challenge is very important to me. Initially, I thought I would just bag it and call a "vacation" week from the scale, but the truth is, I need to take accountability for this one. I know, I was at a funeral most of the week, and…

Thanks Marla - it is good to be home...:flowerforyou:

Happy Birthday Jeannie. :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: - definitely not water. Hi all - I am back, but emotionally drained. Sorry Andrew about your job woes.. It really is a nasty world out there lately.. Hope it gets better soon. Very tired, and dreading the scale tomorrow... Love all.. Janie

Thanks all for your well wishes - it has meant a lot to me in the past few days. Things are starting to wrap up up here and settle down a bit. It is good to finally be at a place where we can remember the good memories without crying for the loss.. **sigh** I am so proud of each and every one of you. I have read your…

OMG - my whole world is upside down.. Don't let them take you, Dave - resist, resist!!!!!! :devil:

thanks Shuntae - :heart: :smooched:

Never mind: I was going to agree with a previous post, but I see the thread has been graciously hijacked. I love Star Wars..:heart:

thanks Andrew - it means a lot to me.. seriously, I think the threads on this site save me a bit during times like this - just need to pick the right ones to lurk.. take care.

Hi all, The letters and photos of all are amazing. You guys really rock!!! Everyone looks and sounds so healthy and happy - hats off to all of you, I am so proud of this team. I am however saddened by a couple of developments: nicky - I miss you. I don't know what happened to make you leave, although I do know you have…

Hi all, After much contemplation, and a fair amount of procrastination - here it is, my letter to me (sorry it is so long - I hadn't spoken to me in a long while): Dearest Janie, I know how long you have struggled with yourself in the attempt to become healthy, in body, mind, and spirit. There are a few things I think you…

I know, I do it too. I think it is because I need to drink water when I eat bread. :tongue: I think it made me laugh because it seemed random between all the sneeze posts. It was just really cute.. :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

I'm glad you posted that - it had the same effect on me..:laugh: :laugh:

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

I don't really get it either. When I have a serious disagreement with a post, I usually just don't respond. Perhaps this is "snobbish" of me, but I don't think some of the strong opinions out there really want me to disagree with them.
