Not a very busy board here. Well, since I last posted here my horse threw me and broke seven of my ribs. I had been contemplating selling him because he had grown taller than I wanted. I only ride bareback and really need to be able to get on easily shorter is better. Plus at my age I'd prefer to fall closer to the ground.…

That's my new one!! Cheryl from North of Chicago

After a rocky 3 months containing suicide, sexual predators and 7 broken ribs, I hate to confess that I have gained almost all of my weight back. Not an excuse or a reason, actually inexcusable. However, I've sold my young horse and bought a new older horse less likely to hurt me. He is gorgeous. Hope the try to stay on…

How awful for the family and child in Wales. My son actually threatened suicide to the perpetrator. He told them that he was going to kill himself so then the police would investigate and find them.There was a movie like that where the girl committed suicide then the Mom and police tracked who sent the pictures and…

Wow Michele, love the cake!! Well it's been the craziest, most awful 6 weeks of my entire life. First my daughter's bio mom's suicide made it a rough two weeks from her death until my daughter left for Vanderbilt. Such a sad confused young lady, My heart ached for her. And then of course I broke 6 of my ribs and have been…

I'm sure everyone thinks I've dropped off the face of the earth and I kind of have. I don't know if I wrote about my stepdaughter's biological Mom committing suicide about 4 weeks ago. She actually made sure that my daughter found her and even blamed her in her goodbye note. I've never felt so much hatred for such a…

I know I've become a stranger but it's this guy's fault. Shortly after this picture was taken he bucked me off and I broke 4 ribs. No cracks for me - they are broken. I am now bound in my chair for the next 3 weeks. Tomorrow I am going to go catch up on everyone.

Thanks everyone for the support. Yes, I usually always refer to my stepdaughter as my daughter but have recently started saying step since I keep referring to her "Mom." When I first tried to say something on facebook I realized that saying "my daughter's Mom was found dead" just didn't make sense. My husband and I went to…

My crazy life got crazier. My lovely stepdaughter (usually just referred to as daughter) found her Mom dead yesterday. She had committed suicide. Just 4 years ago she had found her brother dead from an overdose. I feel so overwhelmed by my lack of ability to take her pain away. Her Mom has been an absolute lousy Mom for a…

I'm not gone - honest I'm not!!! Just so busy, can't read, can't post. I miss all the chatter. I'll be back.

Busy on vacation with no internet connection. At a coffee shop right now. I'm putting a link to my husband and daughter doing Kareoke. It is funny. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10201478524992797&set=vb.1466106219&type=2&theater Husband making me leave!! Bye.

My life is just too busy but thought I'd try to make it over here. My weight stinks. But I'm logging faithfully. It has always been this way with me, I lose most easily when most people gain, from August though December. With all my summer activities you'd think I'd lose more, but it's always been a time when I gain. Go…

I know I'm never on here anymore. Graduations and parties and birthdays, etc. have been exhausting. However I was at my nephews graduation party today and I now have an awesome Jackson update (for those who don't know he OD's many months ago, was in a coma for weeks and had a bad prognosis but came out of the coma and made…

I stunk at May goals and actually gained 4 pounds. Sigh. Just wanted to quickly mark my place and throw a couple of pictures up from the weekend. Graduation / Birthday party finally done. Great party, stayed up to 4 am. Not bad for an old lady!! My 13 year old on the trail! My soon to be 18 year old (tomorrow) at her…

Ok Michelle, per your advice I entered my calories for yesterday - about 900 over for the day. You are right, it can't work if I don't keep it honest. I'm just mad at myself. Today I am not going to weigh myself but I will get back on track. Barbie - I didn't read earlier posts but I'm thinking you need to gain weight?…

Ok folks, I've not been writing because . . . . well . . . . because I've been awful for 3 days. I don't even want to log what I've been eating. Major candy binging. There's not even a reason for it. I am going to go bang my head on a wall now. That's all. Hope everyone else is staying on task better than I am right now.

Ha Ha Katla - you made me want to go friend request you to see if you'd "accept" me :flowerforyou: I did go look at the friends I'd accepted to see if any had dropped off. There was actually only one (other than my daughter) who hadn't logged in today. Guess all of my friends are working it!! There have been a couple of…

I'm with you Mimi, this board has gotten too big for me to keep up with also. I quit trying. I usually read the last page or two, look for those I've been following and try not to feel guilty about the others. If someone posts often enough then I'll add them to the folks I'm following, but I can't keep up with those who…

Oh my Joyce, I bet that 199.9 is right around the corner!!!!! Yayyyyy!!! Lucy, do you live near me - Chicago?? Your weather sounds like ours. We were in the thirties 2 days ago and are supposed to hit the 80's today!

I used to teach at Carmel High School on Guam. And I used to love visiting Saipan. Does anyone know that Saipan holds the record for the most consistent temperatures in the world. If I remember right they are 84, or 85 degrees every day of the year.

I lived there for 2 years. I worked at Pacific Data in Agana.

Thanks for all the "pretty horse and daughter" comments. While I was sitting at my desk today I looked over at a photo that's been on my desk for years. It dawned on me that the stick horse my daughter had when very young, looks a lot like the one we bought for her this year. Doesn't it?

Great Jane, now you have me wanting a banana split!!! :laugh: Katla - we need more information for a celebration plan - what are his interests, how old will he be? Sundance, oh I mean Linda - I am now going to have an identity crises. I get confused when folks change their profile pictures and you've changed you name. My…

So Rebel - I didn't enjoy my crawfish much. That's because they weren't cooked yet when we got there. But the potato chips and muffins, and chocolate covered crackers were. GEEZZZ I ate 3000 calories today and very few of those were crawfish. But I do have to say that the chocolate covered crackers were unbelievably good.…

Oh Rebel I am right there with you. Here is what I look like - and trust me there were some 160's and 161's that never got recorded. As I've said in an earlier posting I am going to say that I have maintained my loss since December (instead of saying I haven't lost anything since December.) I am at a normal BMI and a size…

ddeliner - just contact fitbit, they will send you another one.

For those who asked, no I am not feeling better, maybe even worse. Went to the doctor and he prescribed a different antibiotic and concurred with the dentist in that he thinks my ears and throat hurting are all related to an infected tooth. If I have the tooth pulled then I loose a 4 tooth bridge. So I am hoping the…

Oh Liz!!! :flowerforyou: I know you were being encouraging. I don't know why you thought I thought differently. Was it the "whatever do you mean?" That was just meant to be a playful admission to definitely being an "open" person. I know you are supportive. This entire board is - it's what makes us special :blushing: Today…

Liz - whatever does that mean? You should meet me in person - my life is truly an open book. My friends have said that I open my mouth and the words just fall out. But if you mean how open I am about this weight journey let's not forget that I did not log my weight for almost a month.:tongue: It is sad that I did so good…

Ok I weighed in today for the first time in over a month. NO, that's not right, I logged for the first time in almost a month. My slow increase was too depressing to log, but DeeDee motivated me. I couldn't log my small losses if I didn't show my gain! So I spent this week on Nutrisystem to jump start me back. My weight is…
