Sharon I just have time for a fly-by!

Hello everyone. I just found this board and would love to join in. My main focus right now is getting below 300 lbs.

Candtlove

morning ladies..

quick flyby this morning. I am still not feeling great. Still a little nautious. Hubby is out of town for a week, and being that he is my ROCk, it is really hard.

I see my reg dr today. Will see what he says about the staph. I am still crying, not as bad though.

Hi Everyone,

Catherine: Thank you so much for what you said. I truly feel like a flake. You hit the nail on the head exactly how I am feeling. I hope that you have a fantastic time with your friend.

Julia: Cleaning like you did is a great workout for pretty much all of your body. I say you should chart it as exercise.

Catwuv: Hugs on the binge eating. I know your pain oh so well on the chairs. I wish sweetie that I could give you courage about sitting in them etc. I have to tell you that I allowed my weight to keep me at home for YEARS! I was so agoraphobic and panic stricken. I hope you don't do that hon. Go and enjoy yourself. Maybe ask for another chair right up front. The main thing is sweetie, have a good time.

Shimmers: I have a DH that loved me at 510 pounds and loves me so much now still. You are so blessed as am I. I'm happy that you don't have someone who doesn't support your journey. Hugs to you and your DH from me.

Sharon: I'm sorry that you are so sad sweetie. I don't have any children but I can imagine any diagnosis like that would make you feel sad. You are such a strong loving mother. Remember that. You can handle anything. Keep drinking that water and flush away all that icky stuff. Hugs sweetie.

Cyn: I hope that your trip to the Dr. brings you some comfort and you get a good report.

I have gotten into a very bad habbit of sleeping in. I am feeling so overwhelmed and a bit depressed and I need to nip it right now and not let it go. I am telling you ladies that I am going to end this post and immediately go jump on my exercise bike and watch the Biggest Looser from last night that is on the TIVO. Then a nice long bath and hopefully I will be feeling better.

I hope that each one of you is doing well and are in a warm sunny place. I think that has so much to do with my mood, the stinking cold and rainy weather here right now.

Blessings all,
Annie

Happy Wednesday everyone.

Welcome candtlove! I hope you like it here, I sure do after a couple weeks.

Shimmers - I agree that it is wonderful to have such a supportive partner. My guy is always there for me to tell me how proud of me he is and to go for a walk or a bike ride with me whether I want to or not. LOL!

Annie - the rain will go away and the sunshine will come back, I promise. Until then, turn the lights on in the house, crank the music, dance around like you're 5 and if all else fails, make paper flowers to force Spring into your house! If I could send some California sunshine your way I would!

Cyn - I hope all goes well at your doctor appointment today and that staph infection is on it's way out!

I hopped on the scale this morning and found I had dropped another 2 pounds! Yay for me, but I know that I still need to get my butt moving. I haven't been exercising and need to find some sort of routine. That's the hardest part for me. I find excuse after excuse not to exercise (too late, have to fix dinner, go to store, feed animals, don't want to get up early, etc, etc) That needs to end! My goal for tonight is to take the puppy for a walk when I get home. He's been a real pill lately and getting the other dogs all worked up, so maybe some one on one momma time will cure him.

Hugs to all!

Catwuv I don't think you have anything to worry about. I sat in several flimsy plastic or folding metal chairs at my highest weight and none of them ever collapsed or came close. Those things usually are rated at up to 250 but in reality they can hold double that if they have to - like elevators will say up to 800 lb limit but in reality are strength-tested up to double that, or more.

Happy Wednesday Everyone!! Just wanted to check in. I struggled a bit last night with feelin' that itch to snack and snack, so I busted out the
air popcorn popper and popped a bowl of popcorn. That helped curb the snack monster and I didn't blow my calories. I realize how stupid this sounds, even before I type it, but I've found that if I don't buy the no-no foods at the store, they don't follow me home and end up in my house for me to blow it on!! I know, I know! I'm working on staying encouraged and keeping the focus on the goal, not the way I'm beginning to feel about salad I haven't found a way to get a regular exercise routine in my daily life, so that is the goal for the rest of this week!
Dawnie524 ~ Welcome back to you! I hope this week has been wonderful for you.
erinkman1~ CONGRATS on the great weight loss! You are so kickin' butt at the Y! You are very inspiring! I'm going to get my butt to the gym today and take that water aerobics class!
JuliaDH~ hope your feeling better and you scrubbing your floors by hand makes me want to go home and throw rocks at my house!
Catwuv~ Sending you best wishes for your OA and I HATE folding chairs in my heart... their dreadful!
voodoo1~Hang in there! With everything your going through, try not to be too hard on yourself!!
candtlove I just started too and I LOVE 3fc!! I hope you find all the support and encouragement you need to stay on plan!
azcyn Hope the Dr. has an answer for you and this week flys by for you so hubby can be home soon!

Take care everyone!!
Jenn

Greetings my peeps!

Well, I have been hanging in there without too many small binges. I've been seeing a therapist weekly and this week was pretty intense. I found out why I got so upset and reacted so badly when work wasn't doing well. It sounds so simple and corny, but has to do with the way I feel sometimes.. invisible and not good enough. I didn't realize that the one boss hit some very sensitive nerves! I'm glad I got moved to another boss. Meanwhile, I have some work to do on the invisibility and good enough stuff.

Cyn, how was the doc visit?

Annie, it's easy for me to sleep in and avoid stuff I need to do.

Sharon, hugs to you and your kiddos. My nephew is autistic and only by the love of family and hard work on his mom's part can he make dean's list in his school. What makes me proud is that he wants to be a scientist like his Auntie Ratkity.

Hugs to my dualJens, Heather, DC, GGG, Realist, Julia, dgram, shim, Deb, Catherine, and all my lurkers! Welcome candt!

Luv,
Ratkity

Hi Chicklets
Just wanted to check in since it's been a while. I'm still slooooooooooooowly losing weight. But at least I'm not gaining.
I don't really have much to add, just that I'm still hangin' in there.
Avon is going slow as well. Not too many ladies around where I live wear makeup seeing how they are usually just around cows and horses all day but I will still try and beautify my area!!

Cyn, hope you feel better soon.

Annie, come on, get outta the bed, you know that's not gonna help anything!

Sharon, sorry to hear about your son, but with your guidance, he's going to do well. Be strong

Carol, love the pic of you after your run....did you run the whole thing?

Hi to all the newbies and all the returning 3fc'ers!
have a great night,
Debbie

Im here and reading daily, just busy with the kids and hubby. We had damage from the hail storm a few weeks back and are just now getting estimates from contractors. Hoping to get the most done for the money.
Food has been good and exercise is GREAT!! I am counting min I spend ho-ing the garden. If things produce normally we will be able to feed the whole neighborhood.LOL Hubby said he could tell my arms are tightening up.
hugs to all and keep drinking your water!!

Hey all....just a quick posting.

I hope everyone is doing well. Cyn, hope you are better today. Zelma, thinking of you, Annie, I hope the exercise helped you feel better!

TOM is here, started yesterday officially...BAH! lol...but I'm not depressed, I haven't been in a depression so I hope the BC pills are actually doing something. I'm almost done with the pack, so we'll see how next month goes. I did get quiet about 4 or 5 days ago, just was tired, lack of sleep and a bit moody, but nothing that made me stay in bed and sleep all day. In fact I couldn't sleep, that was the problem!

I even exercised yesterday, I didn't do much as I am feeling a bit fatigued, but I really think that is a combination of lack of sleep and monthly starting when it did. I did sleep last night, but not a restful night's sleep. However, any sleep is like amazing for me right now lol. I really was a bit of a zombie there.

I'm off my antibiotics and hoping my skin issues don't flare up, but we'll see. I'm going to be taking supplements now and hoping that helps things.

I hope everyone is doing well today. *HUGS*

morning all..

Dr said that the STAPH is healing. He gave me something to "calm" me. He said it wont cure depression if that is what I have and suggested counceling which I am going to do. I am not as nautious as before but still not 100%. I am still eating very little.

My brother came and took us out to eat last ngiht and slet over lol. Guess he was worried.

Will try and do personals later!

thanks for all the support!!!

I think it is finally spring here for keeps. The sun is coming up way too early for me now, so that is certainly a sign. Decided to just go walking yesterday, and got exhausted. In winter, we all take baby steps to keep from falling, but now I can take big steps, and have to get my sea legs under me again. I'm going to try to go to the pool tomorrow and hope there is a decent instructor. Friday used to be the deep water instructor, and she's good, so I hope it hasn't changed.

Hi Everyone,

I'm doing so much better today. Thanks for the support. I had a lovely long post written mentioning each of you and I hit a funny keystroke combo and off it went to cyberspace. lol. Oh well,

Bottom line is I'm thinking of all of you and hoping you are all moving your bodies today and eating right.

Blessings to you,
Annie
