Hi again ladies. I thought I should let you know that I'll be upgrading my pc. I've got some new drives and things to add to it so I'll be offline for a while.

The good news is I'm getting free help. The bad news is that she isn't very reliable about keeping promises. So I'm sure to have my 'puter in pieces for at least a week. So if you don't hear from me for a while, don't think I've gone AWOL. I'm just internet impaired.

I guess the woman who posted about the overeater in the restaurant didn't like the heat she took from her comments because she deleted her thread. I'm glad because there might be some folks who would be really upset by what was said and give up on weight loss and I would hate for that to happen.

LeeAnn: We will be anxiously waiting for you to come back online!

Lisa: YOU GET A: for points and hope you are feeling better!

Downstairs is nice and clean as is the cleaner now! I was really grubby all morning, but I feel much better now! I still have to get in about 30-45 minutes on the glider though I could probably go out and walk. It is pretty cool here today so I may just do that.

I found all kinds of wiring, wire nuts and crap from the electrician coming in here and rewiring. Pig didn't even clean up his stuff. Men are such slobs!

Well, if I am going to go and walk, I better get to it!

Later gators,
Faye

I noticed that thread was gone too Faye. That's a good thing. YAY for us!

Thanks for the well wishes and I am feeling better physically, that target today kind of bummed out a little bit, but I'll bounce back. So far I have more than half my water down and all my exercise done and have stayed O/P all day, so maybe, finally, I will get the whole shebang!

Good luck everyone,
Lisa

Sandybrat,

You have got to be one of the sweetest people I have ever known. I too cried and was chill bumped reading other's stories. Someone once said to me "you really know you care when you feel their feelings" and it's so true. Thanks for caring Sandybrat (brat definitely does not fit you!) And know that I care too.

Lisa

PS start with all those LOL's and get a smile back on!

These things are why we are going to succeed at our weight loss journeys! We care about each other and the pain we have had to go through. Pain makes you a stronger person. When you are able to come out on the other side of a painful situation, the next one is just a little easier to handle. I know talking about this stuff is hard, but keeping it inside is harder. When we don't share how we feel, we cannot put it behind us and move on EVER! You may think you have a handle on something, but you don't. Sooner or later it will come back and really haunt you. Whomever you share painful memories with, they become your ally and then are there for you. That is what has happened here. We may live thousands or hundreds or tens of miles away. We may never ever see each other except through photos, but our sisterhood bond is UNBREAKABLE! YOU GO GIRLS AND GRAB THAT BRASS RING!

[Mirabelly]

Faye, you are the cheapest therapist on the planet!!! I can't believe the responses to your simple question today. It shows an unbelievable amount of trust to share stories like these with total strangers. I feel honored to be among you!

And now for something completely different..........

Sandy! What the is an iron horse????? I have tried for days now to figure it out and all I come up with is some sort of XXX rated porno thingie!! Share please!


Julie

[friendsforfitness]

Lmao @ Julie!! Sandy I feel like I know you so well too. I'm not too sure if that's a good thing for your cousin, but I'll take it as a compliment for me! I have some really great friends and family that think I'm a blast too, actually they more remember me being a blast before I got so big mostly. It's still there, but just doesn't come out as often.

Guess what everybody!!??? I get all my points for today!! FINALLY!! Can u believe it!???

Have a great evening!
Lisa

[gma22]

Thanks Julie for asking as I wonder what the dang thing is too! Sooooo, Sandy, what is it?

I am posting because I couldn't stand watching the baseball game anymore. The CUBS just mucked up there 3-0 lead in the top of the 8th and I was them to beat the band! They had this IN THE BAG! I am sooo mad! Sure hope they can still pull it out. I kept telling Jack that the lead was too small.

Well, not that I am any calmer, but I will talk to you ladies in the AM. Guess what my Wed woe is liable to be!!!!

Faye

[Sandybrat]

Oh Julie... IF ONLY.... LOL!!! The iron horse is an exercise machine. You sit on it... put your feet on the pedal things and hands on the handle bar things... then push with your legs and pull with your arms... it feels like i am doing squats without the strain to the knees. Does that help?? HAHAHAHA U guys crack me up! Yes Lisa it is a MAJOR compliment...!! I finished my iron horse(LOL) and now i am too keyed up to sleep.. that and the game was a disappointment to say the least. So i ma going to see if theres a movie on so i can watch it til i can sleep. sweet dreams to u all....

Sandy

Good Morning,

Pts for yesterday: 4
1 pt for exercise, 1 for water and 2 for program yesterday was a very emotionally draining day, and guess what? I didnt over eat over it. (maybe a "little portion distortion), but I know I waited to long to eat. I will fill you all in later on today hopefully, have to take my mom to a Dr. appt.

I love you all! Good stuff on here lately! I am so proud of each of you, thats exactly what we have to do! Talk about those feelings and get them out as opposed to stuffing them down with food!! WE ARE ALL AWESOME WOMEN

[gma22]

WEDNESDAYoday is Wednesday's Woes. Tell us all about it!

Pam: YOU GET A: for points.

I told you I would have a woe. Those dummies lost 8-3 in the top of the 8th and could easily have won. Made some really dumb mistakes. Tonight is the last night to redeem themselves or it is OVER!

**Sandy (Peekaboo) who used to post here has a family member that currently is lost at sea in some kind of a fishing accident. They have called off the search now so please keep the families of the men on this boat in your prayers!**
