Hi All, I've been away from MFP for about 8 months and have just restarted my journey. Due to health problems I fell off the wagon and unfortunately am starting back where I started 3 years ago. I am so angry at myself for not realizing sooner how bad things were but the past can not be changed. I'm starting fresh and hope…

Hi All, Thanks for all the encouraging words. I feel bad accepting any praise for my January loss though. I'm still working on losing all the weight I gained back last year after my surgery and this is just the start of it. I'm happy to have lost it though so I'll just say thank you and hope that not only can I keep it off…

Hi All, Just a quick dropin, sorry I've been AWOL for the last few days. I finished off work on Monday morning after my 12 hour shift to find my car in the parking lot with 3 flat tires. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. The rear drivers was completely flat and the 2 front tires were almost flat. I ended up having to…

Hi All, Ontario weather this winter is just plain weird. Its cold one day and then mild the next. Blizzard like conditions one day and rain the next. Our weather prognasticator, Wiarton Willey, did not see his shadow today so lets hope he's right and that winter is almost over. I hate the cold weather but I hate this back…

Hi All, Well, sad to say but my week off is over and I'm back to work tonight. I can't tell you how much I enjoyed being home and not having to worry about work. I never left the house from Friday morning when I got home till Thursday afternoon when I went to my chiropractors and did my grocery shopping. The weather was…

Hi All, Good day today again. Still getting things organized around the house. I'm reallyhappy with the progress although I wish there wasn't quite as much still left to do. I'm just about finished the main level and am hoping tomorrow that I might be able to get to the stairwell into the basement. It is a fire trap if you…

Hi All, Can't believe I didn't check in yesterday. I was so excited in the morning after weigh in I wrote a big blog on my site but guess I just forgot after that. I was down 3.5 lbs for the week which got me so excited. Then I got busy with my house cleaning purge. Unfortunately, most of what I did yesterday is stuff only…

Hi Everyone, Its Sunday share day. Well, I didn't get off to a great start today like yesterday. I tweaked my back a bit doing the snow shovelling yesterday so I toned it down today. I did get two bathrooms cleaned and my laundry. Then instead of doing floors, which would have just killed my back even more, I decided to…

Helen, Good for you for standing up for yourself and saying no to your relative bringing food into your house that makes things difficult for you. Its your house and he should respect what you are trying to do. Doesn't matter if you had a peice of cake, thats your choice and not something that was forced on you by someone…

Missed yesterday. I'm so sorry to be missing so many days here. I know I need to make more of an effort but my days seem to be flying by. I start a weeks holiday tomorrow and have no plans to go away. I'm planning to get my house in order. Going to finish what I started in my kitchen and get it organized them continue on…

@naceto - OMG. I'm so glad no one was injured. Its an awful feeling of personal invasion to have your home broken into. I was away on holidays with my sister a few years back when she got a phone call from her son telling her her house had been broken into. It took her a long time to get over it. She lost a lot of very…

Hey all, I'm on a roll here. I've managed to check in for 3 days in a row. I'm really trying to keep up and today was a good day. I spent two hours with a financial planner at my bank, looking at my options for retirement and setting some goals for the next few years. I figure, I'm almost 59 and if I'm lucky I may be able…

Hi All, I'm late as usual but at least I made it two days in a row. I feel terrible that I'm not able to make it in more often and I know I'd be doing better if I got here more often. I will do my weekly weigh in tomorrow as its just not accurate when youre coming off nights. I'm not holding out much hope of a weight loss…

Happy late Sunday, early Monday, as its almost 2 in the morning and I'm as usual at work. I haven't posted since Friday as I've been working. For those of you who have missed my previous Sunday shares, I am an RN working permanent nights on a really busy, very heavy surgical floor in a hospital just outside of Toronto,…

Hi All, I missed yesterday as I worked the last couple of nights and it just got away from me. My wednesday wish would be for life to just slow down a bit as it seems to be racing on me. I finished work this morning and after a few hours sleep got up and drove the 2 1/2 hours to my daughters place so I could spend a couple…

Its late, 4 in the morning Tuesday. I'm back to work after a very busy w/e. Missed a few days on the thread because of it and so much happened. I did okay for the w/e despite eating out twice. Just a little over my calorie count each day but so worth it as I was with my daughter and eldest granddaughter. We went out to…

Thursday already?? Thank goodness because I am off as of 7:30 a/m Friday and don't go back in to work until 7:30 pm Monday. I love my w/e's off. Its only every other w/e but at least its always a long one. My daughter and oldest granddaughter are coming down Friday and we are going to see the stage production of The Wizard…

Can't figure out how I missed Tuesday but I was running around all day with appointments and then had company overnight so I guess thats what happened. Oh well, I did get my food diary done for the day just didn't get on here to check in. I think my Wednesday wish would be for life to just slow down a bit. Seems to me that…

Monday check-in. Well, I survived my horrible w/e of working. It was a tough one, probably one of the worst I've had in a long time. Wish things would get better but I know things are going to get worse, they are handing out lay-off notices today and although I'm not in danger, too many really good nurses on my floor are.…

Sunday Share- well, some of you know me from 6 months ago when I was a regular but I'll give a quick run down on myself for those of you who don't know me yet. I'm Charlotte, 58, single, mother of 2 grown adults and grandmother to 5 wonderful kids ages 2-13. I am an RN and work full time at a community hospital just…

Happy Saturday everyone, Well, I guess my biggest success for the week is that I made the decision to restart MFP and came back to this site and all of you wonderful people here. I know that I'll have my ups and downs but being able to share them with you makes things so much easier. I've been able to stay within my…

Hi everyone, so many great posts, I wish I had time to respond to more of them. I'm back to work tonight after being off for the last 2 weeks and its been a rough one. I work permanent nights as an RN on a busy surgical floor and during the holidays we always fill up with heavy medical patients, so the work gets even…

In response to vickimeith's message: Please Lord, let me get to a point where my favorite anything is too big for me. Love this post and congratulations. Keep pushing on to onderland, you'll make it and find another pair of favorites to wear that look even better. :)

Good Morning Everyone, Sorry I missed yesterday, it was my travel home day and of course my plane was late and it was 3 a.m. before I got home. So tired and came home to a driveway full of snow. Hoped that one of my neighbours would have at least cleaned the end of the driveway but no such luck Oh, well, it'll be good…

I can not explain how you ladies have made me feel by welcoming me back so readily. I was hesitant to come back because I was so embarrassed and depressed about gaining back so much of my weight but I should have known better. So thank you from the bottom of my heart for being who you are. I will be happy to come back on a…

Happy New Year All!! I haven't been on MFP since June for many reasons but I'm hoping to come back and start over. Although today is Tuesday, I'd like to re-introduce myself instead. Hi, I'm Charlotte, I'm a 58 year old single nurse living in Ontario Canada. I have 2 grown children and a total of 5 grandchildren who are…

Hi All, I'm so sorry I haven't been around lately. My son and his family are still visiting from out west and its been a really busy week. I've had to put everything I do for myself off to the side while they are here. Unfortunately, my holidays ended while they are still visiting so they are up at my daughters place with…

Hi All, I've been absent for the last few weeks and seem to have missed a lot of drama. Will have to try to back track to see what happened. Thank you to Robin and the others who sent me messages to help me get back on the thread. Its amazing how much you miss in a short period of time. Hope we haven't lost to many of our…

Thanks everyone for the Happy Birthday wishes. It was a happy one for me. I picked my grand daughter up from the airport today. She's been out west babysitting for my son and since I'm 2 hours closer to the airport than my daughter is, I told her I'd get her from the airport and bring her home. Only thing is, I don't want…

OMG!!!!!! It started today and we're already on the 4th page. I went to the old thread, did my post and then read Robins directions to get here. Hi all. Its my birthday today so I am just stopping in for a quick visit. I've had a great day today. I got on the scale today and I'm down 4 pounds of the 8 I gained when I was…
