Thanks for all the positive words, thoughts and prayers. Been a stressful week and eating hasn't been great and exercise pretty much non-existent. I will get back on track and appreciate everything!

I didn't even sign in yesterday, I logged from my phone, but it wasn't pretty. I have a lot of catching up to do on posts and I will, but just wanted to update everyone for now. Had the OB-GYN appointment yesterday. I thought I was just going in to discuss the results from the ultrasounds, but they done a biopsy also.…

Congrats Kaye! A size 12?!?! I will get there some day...for this minute I will use you for inspiration! Robin - Thanks for your encouragement as always! Dr. called yesterday and said no definite fybroid tumor, but I need to see the gynocologist for a more in depth follow-up and recommendations for my issues, so that…

Hayley - don't give up...we all have those days and we are all here to support you. As far as being scared, I am very scared - scared of failure, but then I look back at how far I've come and just think to myself, I'VE GOT THIS! My weekend was pretty good. Spent a lot of time with my boys and then yesterday we had a family…

Fullcrow – I’m sure it’s a very difficult time for you. You will be in my thoughts – if you want pizza, eat pizza  It will all be ok and tomorrow is a new day. MyMowMow – I hate to read about your gout issues. I just don’t think I could be a vegetarian, but I guess with health issues, we don’t have much of a choice in…

Kah68 – Thanks for the advice…I really appreciate it. My mom had vaginal cancer when she was a few years older than me so it’s not a great feeling. I don’t like the waiting part of all of this. I will probably be taking you up on your offer to pm you – thanks again! Hope you all have a GREAT day :flowerforyou:

Robin - sorry to hear about your health issues...I sure hope they have everything under control now. I think everyone looks for your posts and you are the cornerstone of this thread :) I went to the doctor yesterday and everything was good with blood pressure, etc. He is impressed that I haven't given up on the weight loss…

Very frustrated this morning...weighed in and I'm up 3.5 lbs - that the same exact amount that I lost last week : / I don't understand honestly. I even started exercising more this week. This doesn't mean I'm giving up, just means I'm feeling VERY BUMMED!

I don't post much but I do read all the posts. It's moving much faster than it did when I first joined and is hard to keep up with sometimes! lol You all inspire me a lot. I feel like I'm doing well right now and I've set high goals for myself, but I honestly believe that I can reach them. Just want to say thanks to…

I've been MIA for a little while. Completely lost my motivation and just stopped logging or even caring about what I ate through the holidays, but I'm BACK and more determined than ever! I really think I can reach my goal weight this year or get really close to it. I've proven to myself that I can do this so it's time to…

Hey..hey...just finished walking...not too long, but it's a new beginning...feeling GREAT! Hope everyone is having an awesome night!

The weekend was up and down for me emotionally, but I did pretty good on my food choices. Did get some exercise in - mostly walking. I had a 3.5 lb loss when I stepped on the scale this morning, so I am quite pleased :) Was definitely a needed improvement over the last few weeks of 2 weeks gaining and 2 weeks no movement.…

You guys are awesome and ALWAYS so supportive! Thanks for the words of encouragement, you'll never know how much they all mean!

Kah69 - I went as far as to sign up for Curves many years ago and called and canceled the next day! I joined a gym several years ago that I LOVED and then on a Sunday my family and I were there swimming and as I was changing clothes, the cleaning guy walked right in the WOMEN'S changing room with no notice. We talked to…

Ok, still haven't restarted my exercise...my food has been awesome this week though. Exercise is coming - don't give up on me...Skinny, I don't have a gym membership because I'm very self conscious about doing anything in front of people. I have a treadmill at home, do some of the current dances with my youngest son and we…

Did great with my food yesterday...just gotta get back up to speed with exercising. I can do this :)

I'm bbbbaaaccckkk! I must first say a big THANK YOU to CinDenn3 - she checked on me when I fell off the face of the Earth. The last month has just been yuck for me. I haven't been the least bit interested in anything to be completely honest. I have felt worse than I have in a very long time. My oldest son who is ADHD has…

Good morning, all! I am going to attempt personals this morning since I am up so early! First of all, I’ve been missing a few days being I haven’t been feeling well…have a sinus infection going on and have been running a fever. Don’t typically run a fever with this but oh well…. I did get up this morning to attempt C25K…

AND air is fixed! Thanks, Robin!

Just a quick note - I did start the C25K..didn't make it through the whole thing, but I did make it through half. For some reason, that's a real accomplishment to me! I will try again tomorrow! Hope everyone has a great week :)

Had a crazy weekend...crazy bad :( borrowed a chain saw to cut a tree that was leaning over our utility building and it quit working so we had to buy a new chain saw. Lawn mower started acting up. Then Saturday our air went out. Air still isn't up and running - hopefully that will be fixed today. Scale was nicer today tho.…

Great day yesterday...hoping I can keep up the trend...you guys are amazing! Love this thread - thanks for your stories, your words of encouragement...EVERYTHING! Have a great weekend all :)

John - I'm jealous! I so wanna ride in a balloon!

You guys are awesome! Thanks so much! I noticed yesterday that I actually weigh 1 1/2 pounds less than my driver's license says. That's a miracle considering I've been lying on it for over 10 years! lol

I'm caught up once again :) I had a great day with food and exercise (for me) yesterday. My wish is that I could stick to this without backsliding. It's HARD! Been craving a lot of sweets lately :( I was doing so well with that. I've gained the last two weeks for a total of 2.5 lbs. I've been very frustrated, but I'm…

Skinny – I wasn’t around last school year and am looking forward to your posts. You are such an inspiration and I look forward to reading your posts. I think you’re doing awesome on your grading and think it sucks that you have to do it on your day off, but teachers sacrifice more than most people realize – I bet you’re…

You guys are all such an inspiration. I can not seem to get with it this week. I'm a little frustrated with my family. It started Saturday when we were at the race and I got a message on facebook from my aunt. She wants me to try this new weight loss product, Zeal. Then my cousin and now even my mom. First off, let me say…

I have been so slack about posting and didn't even log my food yesterday. I weighed this morning and just as I suspected, I did gain one pound last week. I figured when I lost the 7 the week before, that it would be more than that, so I'm not really disappointed. This weekend is kind of a blur. Friday was a BAD day all…

Neurotic - I LOVE your ticker! That's awesome! My youngest makes friends very easily and he and this little boy are friends. I had thought about inviting him to the kids Halloween party this year. :) jtconst - I feel for ya - I HATE painting! Good luck and congrats on the new furniture. My house needs some new paint on the…
