Morning everyone! Well it's a big week for many of us! 8 shopping days left, 9 days till Christmas, 12/22 - Winter Officially begins, (though we got 6" here last night)!, and.....it is officially the end of week 52! Wow..........

Well, I'm just mumbling, so I better go get some stuff around the house done before I go to work! Just wanted to say hi, get us started for the new week and wish everyone well!

This week starts off good for me. I am down 2 pounds and I am just 1 pound away from my goal of being out of the 190's for Xmas. {today was 190.5} Anything in the 180's will make me happy! I guess my next goal will be for Valentines day. Will have to think about it.

Jeanne: Thanks for getting us started again!

Flower: Congrats on your loss girl


As for me, I don't think many of you were around when I re-started this thread back in July, but if you were you know my situation. For those of you that don't, my Mom was diagnosed about two years ago with lung cancer. Eleven months ago they found a tumor in her brain and it had spread to the bone. She did have radiation and has done well until now.

She is very sick and can not eat and has not had anything to eat in a few days. I am a wreck!!!!! I really thought we would be able to at least get through the holidays, but now I don't know. So quickly things change. She was fine last week or at least feeling good.

Please keep us in your prayers!!



Jeanne: If you or someone else could keep the thread going for us while I am away I would really appreciate it.

Hold tight to the ones you love this holiday season!!

Merry Christmas.....just in case I don't check in before then.

Dale, my heart goes out to you, I can understand your pain. I went through the same thing with my mother-n-law. I pray that God gives you and your family comfort and blessings that your mother pulls through.

Dale...I lost my first husband to brain cancer. I am so sorry sweetie. I pray that you can enjoy whatever moments she has left on the earth with complete love and joy. {{{hugs}}}

Hey there. . I'm new to the forum, have been doing ww for 4 weeks, but am just looking for that extra support!

Dale: I am sorry for your pain, it is hard to watch anyone you care about suffer.

cameron22,

Dale I am still praying for you and your family. I am back to work, only on "light duty", however, I work in a nursing home, and all the candies, cookies, cakes, and food is all there on display at the nurses' station and it is havoc to anyone who is trying to lose weight around Christmas. Ok, I am tired, I have to iron my uniform, and go to bed. Have a good night ladies.

Daph, Daph, Daph.......... I will pray for you and your mom everyday! I also hope that your holiday comes off smoothly! Please pm me if you need anything! Again - I have tears running down my cheek as I type this. How can we never have met in person, yet feel so close! Gotta love cyperspace!

Speaking of tears................wow, I cried like a baby at Biggest Loser last night. Julie looked awesome! They all did, but, wow! I am so proud of her.
