It's me again :)
 

Waving faintly desperately. Hello to anyone who remembers me.

It's been a manky kind of year, work a bit strenuous, dogs dying, me pursuing various health issues, chief of which "Do I have lung cancer?" - it now seems probably not, got a recall in September/October to check, but the stress of the investigative process was intense. Oh yes, and - completely out of the blue - I now have someone I'm learning to call "my partner"...... Wow. Apart from some hesitant and unsuccessful forays into online dating (and newspaper dating before the internet was invented) this is my first relationship in 36 years. Wow. It's nice.

However, I've let my weight run rampant again, and peaked about 10 days ago at 219.2, tho today down to 214.8. So, here we go again. I'm going to read around and see how everyone else is doing; maybe look for a Christmas challenge to take me forward.

Good luck, all.
:D

Welcome back Rosinante! Glad to hear that your health scare resolved itself in the positive and congrats on the new partner. :)

I don't remember you but WELCOME BACK!!

Welcome back Rose!

Welcome back! I always enjoy(ed) your posts! :D Glad to hear you are doing well now. That was quite a year!

Hello!

Rosinante, I remember you too! and your travels, and worries about small dogs who were getting older, and how well you did overall. It's great to see you! Sounds like a lot of water flowing under the bridges this year...

Thankyou for all the welcomes!

I'm trying to focus on a Christmas end point - while at the same time focussing on just getting through a day at a time!
:D

Welcome back!

Welcome back! I remember you definitely! I'm sorry about your dog, glad that your health scare seems resolved AND that things seem to be looking bright for you this summer!

welcome back! I remember you also. I'm sorry to hear about your dogs (you had quite a few older ones, right?) but I'm so glad your health scare is just a scare. Congrulations on your new partner.

I wasn't here before, but your username makes me smile...and want to go see Man a la Mancha...That has to be one of my favorite musicals...

...what was I saying before I saw something shiny? Oh yeah, welcome back and good luck! Sorry to hear that your year sucked, but it it can only get better now, right?

:welcome3: Back Rosinante! I remember you. Sorry to hear about the loss of your dogs. Happy to hear you don't have lung cancer. Having a partner can help you get through the rough times in life. Good Luck, with your weight loss.

I remember you too! A hearty CONGRATS on the clean bill of health most of all, but a close second is the new 'somebody' woohoo good for you girl ;)

Rosinante, if you are lurking, we would love to hear from you.

:wave: Hi Rosi! Lovely to see you again. Just put one foot in front of the other. You are a strong and tenacious woman. You can do this :hug:

Thanks for all the messages - and well spotted, Time2lose!

Sigh oh sigh oh sigh.

In the mean time I've gained 10 more pounds but lost 4. This time I've maintained a weight loss way of eating for nearly a week - it's an improvement on August, or on any time this past year. I Will keep trying.

Good luck, everyone.

Welcome back! Glad to see you again!
