MsTibbles! I'm glad you're joining us! Congrats on the 5-lb loss! And thank you! I'm pretty happy about it! Now if my weight will just keep going down. It likes to teeter-totter occasionally, lol!
Thanks, Lovemylife, Purple, and Darius! Reaching the mini-goal definitely put a smile on my face today!
Darius, yay on your downward progress! Good job!
Hanin, the important thing is that you are losing!
Haninhudds ~ Ambition regarding weight loss is never a bad thing. You are doing a terrific job.
Jacqui_D ~ on hitting your mini goal. No longer obese is a WIN all the way around. Hello healthy!!!! Good job.
lovemylife001 ~ Hey How have you been? 75 and sunny sounds great. The heat index has been over 100 here with insanely high humidity.... Oh well, I suppose I should enjoy it while it lasts. Before you know it we will be freezing our butts off again.
LovelyLeah ~ Sorry you are feeling a bit blah. Sure hope it gets better for you. I've been out of the loop for a few weeks, but was curious how you were adjusting to the job? Did you finally nail down fitting everything in around the new schedule? Looks like you have been making excellent progress as well. Awesome!!!!

Well reboot day 2 here folks and all is well. I'm back in action. Yesterday was one monster of a day. I did get my whole living room/office reorganized, cleaned and rearranged to be more efficient as well. The only draw back is I'm typing this on a 55 inch TV instead of my 20 inch monitor I usually have on my desk. I feel like I'm in a sci-fi movie typing like this. In any case, was down a few pounds this morning which I am assuming is from TOM's departure, but I'll take it. Well I gotta run and pick up my son from cross country practice and then I have a phone interview/screening at 9 about a job. Then perhaps my cardio, cardio, cardio. You folks have an amazing day and remember to smile.
It's been a long week for me, filling in for another manager on a afternoon shift. So glad today is the last day. I've done really well this week with my water intake and also not eating anything after 5pm. It felt good not to eat after 5, but I think I'm done with that after today lol. It was a nice experiment for me
Delphi I've been doing good and you're right we have to enjoy this warm weather before it's gone. The winters here in Michigan are terrible lol. So I'm enjoying it.
Have a great day and weekend everyone!

Delphi My new job is actually an old job. It's a Christmas store so it's open about 6 months out of the year. I know it's early, I work at Mall of America so we rely on summer tourism for sales and it's actually one of our best times since most of our customers are international. We die down in September and October but pick up again after Halloween. This is my third year working there and it's like home. I wish it was a permanent store so badly! My owners are my work mom and aunts, this store is where I met my fiance, and they treat me great. When she heard that my other job was treating me really bad and even, once, asked me to perform wage theft on myself she told me that if I quit and came back to her she would give me full time hours and a raise. It's such a relief working back there! The only problem is I'll need to find another job come January. But at least this gives me time to look. Speaking of, I'm so sorry to hear that you were laid off. Was it completely unexpected or were there things in the company leading up to it. I'm really hoping that you can find a new one soon. That's rough!
---------------------------
I'm experiencing some steady drops...I like it! Also TOM 2.0 might be a short stay. But then again it's tricked me before.
TGIF ladies! Super fast fly by post from my phone today...
Today is rehearsal day! So much to do, so much craziness in the air. We managed to get everything done despite hiccups along the way. I hope my sister isn't a basket case. Lol
I hope everyone is doing well! I can't wait to sit down and catch up with what's been going on with everyone!

Finally! I'm back to my July 4 weight! Now to keep it here . . . This thread has been really busy! I had fun reading all your posts today.
Jacqui Congratulations on getting to your mini goal!
MsTibbles Good luck with your day!
lovemylife I'm glad you are having nice weather. That's always a boost to morale, isn't it? It's a beautiful day here too!
darius That's probably just a little water weight and you will see a drop again soon.
Purple I hope you are having a nice day.
Haninhudds You are doing great! It's wonderful to look at the overall picture and see that you have lost. I agree with you. It's the right direction!
kelijpa Best to you too!
Delphi Sounds like you got a lot accomplished yesterday. Good for you! I hope you have a lovely day today and good luck with your job interviews!
berryblondeboys You're so close to goal! That's awesome!
mars You are doing great! Congrats on your drop!
gardenerjoy Hi!
susikay I hope your scale moves for you soon!
LovelyLeah Congrats on your drop! Your new/old job sounds wonderful. That other place was not good for your mental health. I hope you are able to find another job in January that is equally as nice or at least comparable to the one you have now.
iDream Congratulations on making goal!
hazeldust Congrats on your drop. Sounds like you might make goal this month!
I have lost 25 lbs total now! Got to add a new little cheerleader in my signature, lol! I had really thought weight loss wasn't as fun this time around since I've hit all these weights before, but it kind of is, maybe because there's no pressure on me this time like there was last time with my daughter's wedding looming. Now I'm just enjoying doing it for me!
