I thought I would get us started this week. It's with a heavy heart that I'm posting tonight. My Grandma died this evening. She was a wonderful person and lived a long, happy life. She was surrounded by her girls (my mom, me, my aunt, and my cousin) and a lot of other family. It was expected, but I don't think it has hit me completely still.
I did weigh in with a 2.5# loss this week, so that was some good news.
Hope everyone is doing well, I'll be back later in the week.
My daughter and I are doing it together. She does not have anything to lose but she was nice to do it with me. Its always better to have a buddy.
Good Job to everyone in this battle.

I am new here but I just wanted to tell you how sorry I am for your loss.
Even if it was expected it is never easy. May your family and faith give you strength during this difficult time and please know she is always with you.
Mom2 - lots of hugs & love & prayers coming your way! Good job on that loss! I will be thinking of you this week as you do all the final preparations for your loved one! Remember - she'll be waiting at the gates when you get there! (which better not be for a long time!)
Vacation was good! I'm glad to be back to work! I needed the rest and the routine!!!!!!! Mom2 - we went to Erie Pa to the casino's where I spent $60 bucks and won $257.00 bucks!!!! Wooooohoooooo Then weds. we went out east to Harrisburg (about 5 hours) to a couple of "unique" stores for my husband who is a star wars collector of vintage and new stuff! Then friday - shopping for me! Woooooohooooooo again! Has anyone ever shopped at an AVENUE for Women? MMmmm, I realllllllllly liked it! So much, I opened an Avenue Charge! Yikes!!!!
Has anyone read that book - Confessions of a Carb Queen? I did on vacation. As I read it..............I felt like it was me and I hated myself!!!! I had a hard time focusing on it!
Anyways, I'm at work and I gotta scoot! Just wanted to say hi!
Take care!
Drink your water, eat some veggies, and shake that booty!!!

I'm so sorry for your loss. Even when it is expected it's still very difficult to come to terms with.
I lost my father VERY unexpectedly about a month ago. It still doesn't feel real but it does get better each and everyday!
I just checked out this forum. I started WW on 4/8, with going to a meeting. I only went back 10 days later to weigh-in so I could make sure our new scale was okay. Meeting the first time was alright, but there was a lot of info I already knew, and I don't think I'm a meetings girl. Since then I have lost over 5 lbs. I finally broke 200 today...woohoo!! I'll know a more accurate loss for the week on Friday.
It was pretty much always my intention, after I got my startup material, to order the at-home kit once we had the money for it. It should be arriving sometime today! I was annoyed yesterday...it had been on-schedule, and at 8-something AM it had been checked in in Harrisburg, which is less than an hour away. But something caused them to change my delivery date to today. Phhhttt. Grrr...Just excited to get all the materials.
Hope it's alright that I join in here. I'm over at the Flex group, too, but saw this and I know it must be helpful to those of us who aren't going to meetings.
Let me first start off by saying We are so sorry for your loss. Our hearts and prayers are with you and your family during this time.
On a different note, I did my WI today and I was down another point but not sure if it accurate (it is almost like I was retaining water and now I'm not). Very strange.....all is well here. I'm looking forward to going on vacation at the end of the month. My parents are flying in from TX and I need some family time plus the break from work.
My kids are driving me nutz....as usual. I love them very much but they just seem to keep pushing those buttons. The good thing though is that I no longer eat "junk" when they stress me, which is a big hurdle for me. I'm slowly learning how to cope with my stressful situations by doing something other than eat. Don't get me wrong I deal with it everyday that battle of oooh I could just eat one cookie (which I know will be more like 4/5) but it's definately work.
Better get as I'm finishing this up at work. Take care and take it one day at a time. And Welcome to all of you who are new.
Happy Thursday everyone I am doing okay today. My WI is tomorrow and I am kind of anxious about it. But we will see.
JET - congrats on breaking 200! That is awesome.
Briana - that is sooooo good that you are down a pound! I say take it however you get it LOL.
DH and I went away for our 6th wedding anniversary and got back into town on Tuesday evening; so the rest of the week has been sort of hectic with me trying to catch up.
At Home Support Group...5/4 to 5/11
Day two for me

I am "new" here . . . at least new right now. I did WW 3 years ago and had a lot of success, then got way off track and here I am again
