Rita... I can empathize. We have cold rain plus I had my 4 yr. old granddaughter from 11 yesterday morning until 8 tonight... My pain is up to a 9.9 tonight. Heck, I'm still not over Christmas!!! :p

Joanne... I think that eating thing must have something to do with moon or something ... I've been eating more than usual the last few days, too. Just seems like I've been craving SOMETHING ... but can't figure out what and I wind up eating stuff I'm not really wanting trying to satisfy I don't know what. (did that even make sense?) :dunno:

I'm back
 

We finally got our phone line-haven't been to my son's because I've been sick. It started as a cold but then my sinuses swelled like crazy!! Called doc at home and he gave me a prescription. Zithromax-gives you diarrhea!!But I'm better. Im so glad to be back on the computer even if it's slow-spoiled by DSL at home. Joanne-we are going to Bradon the week of Feb 10th-don't know what day. Brad has friends up there.Maybe we can get together or another time we may be that way. Bye for now Mima-so great to read the posts

Hey There
 

Mima- Glad to have you back...I will get with my sister Eleni and see what she thinks and let you know- Bradenton is not far from us.She works monday through friday..
God Candice I missed todays Opra..I just forgot all about it and was out to the mall most of the day..I was home in time but forgot..I don't usually watch tv during the day and really not much at night . Ofcourse my hubby has on the news stations most of the time.
Meme- I know well this feeling of cravings. I have had it since thrusday..I got on tract today. Now if I can just stay there..
Rita- The temps went into the 40's for tonight.. That is cold enough for me..
Hope you are getting with a program ...Some of the pain will let up when you lose some weight..
Happy- How is your back? Are you still walking?
Bye..Joanne

Good moring. I forgot-Brad got some Edy's ice cream made with Splenda. I'm glad others are getting on the bandwagon. I finally feel like myself. Now we can start doing things. It's cool again-haven't even been in the pool yet.But I did buy a new bathing suit yesterday . Actually, Brad bought more stuff than me at Beall's Outlet with 15% off on Mon for us old folks. Love it. Bible study this morning. It's been really good. Bye for now Mima

Good Morning everyone !!!!!!!!!!! hope by now everyone is back on track and feeling much better took me a day to recouperate from working 4 days at the hospital and trying to be not so stressesd out in working with my new boss in my part time job cleaning I guess that is a sign that I am getting old LOL was bad ate something sweet each day and only exercised on my bike 1 day but since I feel so much refreshed I will start over today so hope everyone is having a great tuesday Rita

I am also trying to 'start over'. And recuperating from having Jenna last weekend plus Ross all day yesterday and a wet snow and cold. (Like 15 degrees cold.) The snow didn't amount to much and is already gone but the cold lingers on! Needless to say, I'm hurting! I've done something to my back, too. Probably from holding Jenna so much. She like to sit in my lap and she's getting too heavy for me. (I was stupid and got down in the floor with her once, too ... I know ... DUMB AND DUMBER!)

I watched Oprah yesterday ... had to tape it but I watched it last night. I can't imagine losing that much weight. I can't imagine having that much weight to lose. I went on Bob Green's site and according to his chart that you type your stats in, I would only need to lose about 7 pounds to be at the top end of my weight range. That doesn't seem right to me. It gave me a THIRTY pound weight range to fall into. That, in my opinion, is way too much. I'd like to lose about 15 to 20 pounds but I'm not obessing over it ... when I do I either go off the deep end with some weird diet that doesn't work and then quit after a few weeks or I get sick because I'm not eating right. I know I'll never weigh what I did when I got married so I'm not even going to go there!!! :p I was 5' 9" and only weighed 135 pounds. Everybody said I should have been a model because I was so tall ... that's when we wore the 3 & 4 inch heels and I was straight as an arrow ... I used to practice walking with a book on my head. (I did think about becoming a model when I was younger.) But ... then I got married and went to pot ... literally! :lol:

Hey There
 

Meme- We all sorta went to pot when we got married. Lord ,I gained 20 lbs the first year...I never have got down to that weight since..Now all I want is to get healthy. I did one of those tests to find out my body weight mass. I am .8 within my ideal weight,So they say. Another 5+ lbs will do it for me. But, Do you know how hard it is to lose that much. It is a constant thing going up and down.. I guess that is because we are human and I know I will never be able to be so strict that I won't eat things outside my eating plan.
Take care of yourself.
Hello everybody...Joanne

Hi
 

Joanne, you are so close. Just keep plugging away and it will be gone.

Mima - nice to hear from you. Glad you are feeling better now.

Meme - You are so hard on yourself, but there is not a HOPE of changing you :lol: I think, like you, I have lost and found the same 10 pounds over and over again. I need to get really, really serious about this whole thing.

Hi Rita. Are you following ww. I am sorry, but I can't remember. I don't know why it is, but if it tastes really good, leave it alone :lol: I hate that!!! Life is far to short for all this; however, I guess it will get shorter if we don't diet. :?:

Candice - Missed the Oprah show yesterday. Forgot all about it. Don't watch TV during the day.

Where is Ally in lust?

If you have time and want to listen to something really nice, turn up your speakers and listen to this

Good morning-we went out to eat last night and I wasn't that good but.......Going to drive around today!!!It's cool but no one will listen to me!!!It's so nice to see flowers alll the time. Alison will be in her spelling bee next Wed-she's won 2 in a row-going for the sweep!!!Nice to hear from you Anne-where is Ally? Listen to this-Brad's sister's brother in law died Mon-that's the THIRD person to die on Jan 19th at 5 in the morning-last year it was Brad's mother and his wife died on that day 7 years ago. Weird. Bye for now Mima

HI! Everyone well it seems like we all have to loose some weight from 5 to 30 it is hard I think in the winter since we are more cooped inand of course we have our aches in the cold at least I do so it doesnt helpin trying to diet so I take a day at a time and make up one thing that I am going to stick to for that day like drinking more water cant handle more then one thing at a timeLOL well have a great wed evening everyone Rita

I totally blew it tonight. :o WHEW! Bad Meme... BAD BAD MEME!!! :nono:

Oh well, Meme, there's ALWAYS tomorrow. A new day with new beginnings. :dizzy:

Meme at least you were honest with yourself we have all been there and done that so today is a new day and good luck Rita

Hi guys-going crazy with prescriptions-one ordered in Dec sent to my house instead of fl-got it yesterday but replacement already sent-Brd's not in computer-had to call doc-and now I lost his 2 new ones that I argued with the doc to get so now I have to humble myself to call the office and have them fax them. I have given my new address 3 times and people don't listen. I called Chadwick's to send my daughter's back-ordered boots to her house and THEY SENT THEM TO MY HOME AND WERE FORWARDED HERE at a cost of another 7 dollars-now the prescriptions which are far more important. I hate losing things. But at least I have my computer now even though it takes so long to load. Using AOL. What a beautiful day yesterday-we drove to Everglade City-not much there but no traffic-sort of like FL 0ne hundred years ago. Still not feeling 100% -so congested. Be good everyone. Mima
