Peggy, congrats on the weight and inches loss - that's fantastic! And it's such a great feeling to fit into smaller clothes - a
is definitely warranted!
Cris, hey at least you didn't gain - unlike me this past week! Sounds like you've done a lot of work to your room, do you have any pics?
Heather, glad to hear you are devoting more time to you and your needs. I've been doing as you said and writing everything down again, it seems to be helping. I'm trying not to beat myself up over the occasional slippage and just brush myself off and start again.
SoulBliss, a two-hour workout class? Wow! That's impressive!
And congrats on your 6lb loss - that's great!
Sandy,
on meeting your mini-goal! And I'm glad to hear you're healing well after surgery.
Annie, I love your new avatar! You look so pretty and the pup is adorable. I love wolves, too, and am in awe that you got to have such close interaction with them. What a special day that was. That's awesome about your body fat being down
Be careful and take care of yourself - 160 calories is way too low!
Catherine, I hear you on the eating out of fatigue thing. I do that myself sometimes. I was never one of those people who doesn't eat when they're stressed/sick/tired (would that I was!) so extremes of any emotion tend to make me want to eat. I'm going to have to get more vigilant in choosing my restaurants and food choices, that's for sure. My gosh, it hurt just to read how sore you are! I hope you're feeling a bit better today.
cdncatlover,
I got my scale from Walmart. It was about $30 and goes up to 370 lbs or thereabouts.
Bloomer, jumping into this thread can be a bit like trying to jump on board a speeding train at times!
Don't worry about the personals, as you are here longer, people and their situations will start to become familiar. Just post when/what/where you feel comfortable.
Kayley, sounds like you are busy, busy, busy here lately! Glad to hear that you are still keeping OP and exercising in the midst of it all.
Emily, sorry to hear that you've been feeling unwell. Perhaps stress is playing a factor. Have you been to the doctor? I bet that 11 weeks can't go by soon enough!
LAnne, that does sound a bit scary, I hope it was nothing major, perhaps just a bit of (severe) indigestion or gas? Definitely call the doctor if it happens again - which I hope it doesn't!
Not much going on here so far this week. After my last post I jumped back on the wagon and have been doing good with my eating thus far this week. I am still in a bit of a funk though, just an overall down feeling. Mostly I think I am getting disheartened and stressed about not being able to find a job. I found out yesterday that the one I most recently interviewed for was offered to the other candidate.
I hate having DH being the sole provider. If we had kids I'd probably look at things a bit differently, but being an able-bodied person just not working is not working for me.
I don't handle any stress about money very well, due to some financial problems in the past, and seeing how little we have coming in versus the outgoing bills makes me anxious, some weeks more than others - and I guess this is one of those weeks on the more side.
I look forward to meeting you. I got my scale that goes to 400 pounds at Bed, Bath and Beyond. I waited til I got a coupon in the mail for 20% or 40% off. (can't remember which one right now) The scale was about $50 minus the coupon. It's good to look online at bedbathandbeyond.com too. 
That is *not good*!! I would keel over just sitting at my desk all day if I only ate that much, let alone exercised as well. Don't risk your health that way again please. 
for you that you find something SOON! I’m currently not working, and my fiancé is the sole provider, and it makes me feel lazy & worthless, so I’m with ya there!
