I too feel bad for Chiclet and totally understand. we went through the same things with my father. Can you not get someone to relieve you sometimes? Just before my dad passed we were considering a home before he killed my mother too! .she was exhausted. Remember care for the caregiver first! my sister, brother and I took…

For the wishes and suport - thanks. I just came home from A Christmas party and only had coffee, fruit salad and laughing cow cheese. made a salad for supper . so I am having a good day so far!

Well I am back. I have to change my ticker. I am the heaviest I have ever been and totally dividends with myself. I now weigh 156.4 pounds and am only five feet tall. I am starting again. I have a goal. my son is getting married next year and I need to drop thirty pounds. I feel tired Ll the time and my health is…

marking my spot. been absent since Augsut - gained back 6 pounds. Starting again for the 100th time smwert

Hello. I haven't posted or been on this site since June. I found out that my boss was leaving to start his own firm but didn't thnk he could afford me. I am a legal assistant. I had worked at the law firm for 38 years but I asked to be laid off so I could collect EI and think about the future. Then after I was off work for…

Believe it or not, it is finally hot here in Ontario too!. I had to go to the Doctor today. I have had slight asthma for years. I haven't needed mediation for a long time. I finally had to give in and get something. It has been too damp this year and my lungs are :ùnder`stress`as the doctor puts it. He put me on symbicort.…

Chicket - that is hilarous about Scout. My dog Missy (a lab/chow mix) that we have had since she was 6 weeks old gets jealous when my hubby hugs or kisses me. She barks, jumps up and tries to get between us. I don"t know who she is jealous of him or me!! Too funny smwert P.s.. Since I ready about everyone's success on the…

Dee - it is such a sad thing when one's child dies before her parents. My sympathy to everyone. What an unselfish thing to donate organs. My best friend's niece died this week from a blood clot. Just dropped dead. She was only 30. How sad. We have to remember to try to enjoy every day because you never know what tomorrow…

My goal for June is to not beat myself up everytime I fail. Just keep on going. I only lost 4 pounds in May - not the 8 I wanted. But 4 pounds of butter stacked up looks pretty good. Still going to Curves 4 days per week. Get weighed and measured tomorrow . pERHAPS i GAINED MUSCLE AND LOST INCHES - ONE CAN HOPE!! smwert

Just finished my 1 week of working out at Curves. They will hook me up with the smart key tomorrow. They wanted me to get used to the movements first. I am excited to see where I am strong and where I need to improve and the smart key is like your own personal trainer - tellng you how many reps you need to do - if you are…

Thanks for the birthday wishes and happy birthday to the other May girls, Debbie, Chiclet, Grace and others. I joined Curves for my birthdaypresent to myself. I found out that my blood pressure is high. That explains why I have been feeling dizzy, etc. lately. It was high before when I was over 150 pounds so I now really…

Wow - away for 3 days and what a lot of posts. I had decided May would be my month to really focus and lose weight for good. I already blew it. Maybe I like being fat!!! I dont think I like being fat. I am being good today. Going to have a veggie stir fry for supper. I will just keeping plugging away and hope for good…

I updated my ticker - the wrong way. I have to start being honest with myself. I have to stop over eating and lying on the couch watching TV. I am so depressed by the weather. I am starting fresh this morning. I am go ing to try to follow slim fast for 1 week - to see if that can bgive me a jump. wish me luck susan

Just consider a pile of 12 pounds of butter on a table. 12 pounds is remarkable. It must show somewhere. Although myself I didn't really notice until I lost 20. We just see ourselves differently than others do!! So when I consider I failed - only lost 1 pound in a week - I open and fridge and take out a pound of butter and…

Blew it Saturday - but succeeded Sunday and Monday so I guess I report this as Me: 2 LNS It is a start!!! smwert

Today is only April 2nd. I will joint. My cut off point will be 8:30 p.m. and no wine. That only make me snack more. Blew it last night at a card party but I am actually only joining today. smwert

Did we pass!!!!

Ah Spring. Time for new hope. I am down a poiund today for the first time in a long time. Going to really try hard this month - since we will be discarding our coats and all the lumps and bumps will show for sure. smwert

Correction. I was in Florida for 10 days not 20!!!

Well I am back from my trip to Florida to drive my mother home. I stayed ther for 20 days and I lost 2.5 pounds - walking and swimming. But when I got hom after the 2.5 day drive and eating in restaurants i had only lost 1 pound. But at least I did not gain. Seeing myself in a bathing suite really motivated me to lose. So…

Suzeque - I love your plan. In theory it makes sense because your body never feels like it is starving due to continued low calories. I am starting t post my food again. Time to get off my behind and start walking again too. I was surprised to find out my breakfast was over 600 calories. However it was an actual brunch…

Robin: I too am ready to give up. Your post sounds so much like me. I watch what I eat as well. I have been sick for 5 weeks now and haven't been doing any exercise. I am trying to just maintain right now. I am up 2 pounds (which I have to remember is only a couple large drinks of water). So I am taking a break for a few…

I've been sick for 4 plus weeks. Have not weighed myself. Went to Florida for one week. Will be brave and weigh in tomorrow and see how much damage was done. Starting to finally stop coughing. It appears a lot of us are sick lately. Can't wait until spring. smwert

Hey Lynn. Thanks for the get well wishes. I am starting to feel better today. I haven't been eating much and not exercising at all. I thought I would lose but not an ounce. So I guess exercise is really the key. Hopefully will feel well enought to do eliptical tonight. I see you are exercising. Keep up the good work. The…

Had a cold for 3 weeks plus. When will I feel better. March will be my fitness mlonth. Determined to lose at least 8 pounds this month. It can be done. Just need to get serious. smwert

I am 149.2 today so up .4. I am sick with a cold and not eating much of anything so I thought I would lose. Funny eh! I guess it is correct that you can eat too litte. smwert

Great job. We had some big losers (actually winners) this week. Congrats everyone. smwert

It is acting weird. It put my response to the quote at the bottom of the quote but still in blue. perhaps I am the one at fault. smwert

Tue 02/01/11 03:36 PMTo Nyll54. I have Jorge Cruz's 1 book about eating 5 or 6 small meals a day. Has some merit. But like everything else you have to stick to it and plan out your mini-meals and snacks. He has some good exercises you can do anywhere without gym equipment. The book I have is called The 3-hour Diet. Concept…
