well, I'm dropping water weight like crazy and now am on the verge of the 80's! I have started working so I have very little time. I miss all of you so much! I'm hoping to catch up on my days off. That might be as soon as Sat. but sunday for sure. It was nice to order Large work shirts instead of 2X or 3X! oh, and my new co-worker (she go the management position and I got the assistant)... she has lost 124 lbs. in the last two years and is working on her last 20. It's so nice to be working beside someone who knows what I'm going through and has succeeded like that. I've learned from this forum that her last 20 is just as important as my last 60, so it'll be a nice little support system for both of us Diana I couldn't sleep well last night so I got up and started writing down all my ideas for work and then, when that didn't put me to sleep, I took some time to pray. I thought of you and your mom in my prayers, I haven't been on in a couple days, so I scrolled down to see if there was any news from you on her condition-I see she's really struggling, I'm so sorry. I just wanted you to know that you guys have been in my prayers and will continue to be

Peace be with you and your family Diana Will keep her in my prayer.That 1.2 is from everything going on Stay strong.
Hope your waxing goes well aka good luck on the test
Doing your watermelon like that was a great idea acdamon over the weekend i ate berries and pomegranate seeds as snacks That was huge cause I've never been a big fruit person.I've been avoiding all things w/ sugar like a plague.. even though i know that the sugar in fruit is better for ya..still..But after talking to the man at the health food shoppe and he gave me a chart on the berries,which ones help different things in your body..seems like that triggered something in me to just step out and start eating a little more.
Have a wonderful time w/MotherDomlacha and enjoy the party you'll do great.
Aw..Texan,i bet they are so cute singing They were good.I be looking for something to eat healthy everywhere I found them in a service station store.

Hay Kelly I've been thinking of you and wondered how things were going You're doing great,have someone there for support,etc..that's fantastic Great first week
Diana - I hope that the upper GI went well this morning and that your mom can get back on the road to recovery soon. I know that this has been frustrating and stressful on you, especially since she has not been very open about how she's been feeling. I'll continue to keep her in my thoughts. As a sidebar, can I just tell you that I'm very inspired that you've managed to stay under the high end of your maintenance weight while all this is going on! Hope things get better soon.
As for me, I'm still stuck at 193.9 and a week later, still no TOM. Argh. I actually took a pregnancy test last night just in case. Yep, nothing there. Don't know where TOM has gone this month, or why he decided to send his baggage if he had no intention of showing up. I can only continue making the right choices and getting in all of my water. Eventually the weight has got to fall off...right?
Hey folks. I weighed but didn't check in yesterday ... very emotionally trying week, couldn't find the energy to be cheery and upbeat. Today I weighed in at 162, and doubting whether it's realistic for me to get below 160 and maintain there. It may just be more work than I can/am willing to do.
Diana, I'm so glad there has been progress in helping your mother. It's so hard to help someone who won't tell you she needs help! Good luck managing your end of taking care of her, and I hope she gains her strength back very soon.
[QUOTE=TexaninItaly;4360843]Hi everyone! I'm at 177 on the dot today. Ever so slowly going down. I'm about to get ready to go out to my daughter's school today for their spring concert. I love watching the pre-K class sing!!!
Domlacha- Have fun celebrating your mom's birthday. You can eat a tiny sliver of cake! I have to tell you something funny. My daughter's class had cake to celebrate a kid's birthday and she said, "His mom cut the slices this small (she held up her hands parallel and very close together) can you believe that???" The look of shock on her face was funny. I think she is just used to me cutting huge slices of cake.
Hahaha, that is pretty funny. I love the chance to experience the world through eyes of a young child, they come up with some pretty amazing things. I am a fan of big pieces of cake!
Holding on to my 219 number by a thread with a 219.8 weigh in today. So frustrating! And I'm going away this weekend, so it that number might not stick around
Joining this thread for accountability, since I've seem to hit a plateau.
June 1: 150.6
June 2: 150.1 (!!!! SO CLOSE!!!)
June 3: Don't think I weighed in.
June 4: ? Don't think I weighed in.
June 5: 150.8
June 6: 151
I've had some "blahs" and binges this week. Not feeling like working out, or doing much of anything, and allowing myself crazy things like donuts, plural, as in more than one donut. ;-)
Today I went home on my lunch break and worked out. I feel a little better. We shall see...
I am up a little from yesterday to 253.8, but i'm not complaining since overall I still have a 3lb loss. Cutting up all that watermelon really was a good idea.. The kids are liking it being available to just grab when they want it too. On plan so far today. I did 45 mins on the elliptical, and I should come in around 1400 on my calories for today. I can't believe how much better I am already feeling,albeit a little sore, lol. I would love to respond to everyone but the baby just woke up from his nap. Hope you all have a great day!
I am new here but thought I'd join in since I am weighing everyday anyway. I might be nice to share my highs and lows. Maybe my lows won't feel so low if I have you guys to talk to. My first little stall at the beginning of this month is thanks to TOM but at least I didn't gain like I did last month.
June 1-203.0
June 2-?

More TMi, but I don't really care at this point. I've shared everything with you guys.
I don't know what's going on here, weight wise. Sore breasts and back pain so PMS is here, and mine usually lasts a week and 1/2. Good times.
But I'm running almost every day, counting points, and it'll pay off after my body does its thing.
Update on Mom:
The surgery went well. She has been dealing with gastritis/virus of the esophagus during this whole cancer situation. It appears that the Coumadin has caused the bleed in the esophagus. They are still working on reversing the Coumadin, so her blood won't be so thin. A couple weeks ago they prescribed a medication for this virus in her esophagus. Now they have her on an IV of this medication. I'm sure it's a much higher dosage than the tablets they originally prescribed. They also did a leg scan and chest scan to see the status of the blood clots. They are wanting to make sure there are not any more in her legs that may travel since they won't be prescribing the Coumadin any longer. Good news is that there are no more blood clots in her legs. The ones in her lungs are the only ones, and I believe they are shrinking due to the original Coumadin and the natural body processes. (this is my understanding, although I could be wrong) They are doing IV nutrition right now. They might consider doing a feeding tube in a couple days. This just depends on how well she does with the new meds. She is awake, coherent, and doing very well.
Thank you so much for the thoughts and prayers. We appreciate them.
