Voodoo1 I am so sorry that you have to have a child that is like that, Mine tried to boss me around I put her butt in boot camp. That straightened her up very quickly. My prayers with you, I should have said just pack some of his clothing,LOL.

Well girls I survived the storms last night we had here in Missouri, seemed like after midnight we were having them every hour, Lighting , thunder , rain, high wind. Yep kind of got scary there for a bit but my house didn't blow away and I am fine. *does a happy dance as I have Friday and Sat off.*

Sharon -- You are so right. If we all stayed away after we gained, it would be a ghost town here!! But I do understand why people stay away. I know I'm embarrassed and pissed off by my gain!!

Howdy gals...

Sharon: I am afraid one day your son will wake up and regret what he has done. It will probably be after you are gone..and he can't do anything about it. My aunt is in prison and had to attend her fathers funeral in an orange jail jumpsuit. Since both my grandparents are gone..(her parents) she will have a hard time in life when she gets out. HUGS to you!!

Heather: I agree this place would be a ghost town. I hope AMMI come back. Anyone heard from Bernice???

I am off to do my stress test today..

last I heard from bernice they were moving across county.

I’ll be back later with more, but wanted to get a few personals done.

Cyn – Hope all went well with the stress test!

Tracy – We had some pretty bad ones here in Michigan last night as well. Last night, and until about 9am this morning. Thankfully, we didn’t get any downed trees in our yard this time!

Sharon – I definitely understand why Ammi wouldn’t want to come back and post. I did the same thing a couple of times myself. Was just ashamed that I gained back what I lost PLUS more….I was so embarrassed. Definitely miss her here, though, and would love to see her back! Might have to give her a friendly nudge on Facebook.

I can completely understand why Ammi would feel the way she does. I mostly lurk these days...tho I read everyday! When I fell off plan and went on a 9 month binge putting nearly all my weight back on, I was so embarassed and ashamed of myself!! I know the people here would not judge or be anything but supportive, but old reactions die slowly.

The support is HERE during good and bad times!!

Hi Everyone,

Sorry that I only seem to post recently about myself and my own issues, rather than talking about others, but I truly do care about you all, I just can't seem to find the extra time to talk too much on here.

We visited Daryl (brother with leukemia) last night at hospital. He now has Swine Flu, Legionnaires (sp?) disease and these have produced pneumonia and bronchitis. At one stage yesterday he couldn't draw a breath at all, so they moved him to ICU at 8pm. He is NOT a happy man! He went into hospital to have chemo to prepare him for the bone marrow transplant (I'm his donor) and now he has caught all of this other stuff whilst in hospital. Of course, because of the chemo, his body has no immunity, so he just can't fight these things off. He has been on Tamiflu for ages, but it just doesn't seem to be working.

Please send any positive vibes you can our way, as he and his wife are at an all time low at the moment and we would just LOVE some good news.

Thank you,

Zelma

Zelma -- GOODNESS!!!! I've been wondering what's going on. Don't worry about posting -- focus on your family!! I'll be sending lots of good vibes your way!

So, today has been quite the day! I was driving home from my boyfriend’s house, and it was raining and very muddy out. Well, I ended up seeing a little kitten on the side of the major highway that I live on. There were no houses around, and he was soooo small. I just couldn’t leave him on the side of the road! So, I brought him home, and got him cleaned up. Took him to the vet, and made sure he was okay. Turns out, the little guy is only 4 weeks old. Got him some kitten formula, and he’ll be on that for the next few weeks. We’re keeping him. He’s so adorable!

Today, I was going to take a break from cardio, but ended up hopping in the pool, and doing half an hour of lunging; pretty much just taking VERY large lunging steps, and walking that way around the pool. I tell ya, it’s a great workout! I’m feeling it in my calves, thighs, and my butt in a big way! Got in half an hour of Yoga, as well. I trade off, every other day, I do Strength Training, and on the off days, I get in my yoga. Also hit my exercise goal for the month today, so I’m happy.

Zelma – Oh my goodness! I’m so sorry to hear that. Sending lots of positive thoughts to your family during this time.

Zelma: PLEASE don't worry about posting about all us on here...I am soo sorry this has happened to your brother. POSITIVE thoughts and prayers comming your way!!!

Kayley: OMG! I love kitties! Hubby picked up an animal from the side of the road once..it was an 8 foot bernese python LOL. We kept her fora while and named her Reba. She was so gentle. She would curl up on the couch next to you and put her head on your lap. Weird huh?

dgramie: Bernice moving cross country?? Wow..last I heard she was in Kentucky. Wonder where she went. Hope she returns someday.

As for me: Went for my stress test this morning. The tech guy that was running it was so pleasent. He explained alot to me and was so nice. I was sort of worried about passing out on the treadmill, but I did rather well. Will have followup on Thursday and they will discuss the results then.

Next monday I go for my gallbladder scan. If that shows negative then I am headed back the the regular dr to complain about my back hurting all the time and hip. Also to pull my hair out lol.

Hi everyone,
It is late and i am lurking towards food im fighting very hard Ijust want to hunger pain to go away gona drink water hope it helps did very well today on my diet i just dont want to blow it so I am here writing. I am really trying to tell my self no and that I will not be happy if i do. Made mac and cheese and it is calling me sort of speak but I am fighting wish me luck.
Hugs

Zelma HUGSXXXXX I hope he gets 'well' enough VERY soon for the Chemo.xxxxxxx
Kayley, fate? I think he was meant to be yours!!!! I wonder how he got there, did some vile person leave him there to die? You MUST post some pics!! I adore kittens & cats.xxxxxxxx
Cyn great to get some good medical care I hope they find what the problem is soon.xxxxxxx
Tracy, I HATE lightning! Did it keep you up all night? Was there much damage locally? Hope your home (&garden?) escaped.xxxxxxx
I weighed yesterday still NO LOSS, I've decided to go back to my old eating plan (Slimming World-a UK based club) You get to eat cheese, bread etc in small amouts, allowances for 'treats' each day and unlimited fruit/veg plus pasta, rice & potatoes OR lean meats (red plan=meat, green plan= pasta,) each day you choose red or green & stick to it. It is VERY popular in the Uk, people have lost 100+, saved their lives & avoided surgery. Just have to stick to it, I prefer RIGID plans, this one is a bit flexible so I must prepare myself to STAY OP, lol!!!!
About Ammi, I will send her a message to look on here & see how much she's missed!

Good Morning all!


Im so excited today was my weigh in day and i lost 4 lbs!!!

I cant tell you how excited i am the last two weeks the weight loss hasnt been good because of TOM but i guess im making up for it this week!! and im 8 lbs away from my first goal that i want to meet before sept. 26th when we have a golf outing that we help out with every year ( hubbys dad throws it every year and there will be people i havent seen in awhile) So, my goal is to weigh under 300 lbs when we go that weekend and i am only 8 lbs away so im sure it is totally doable.

Well, gotta run and go do some exercise hope everyone is having a great day!
