Hi Everybody,

Its been awhile again but thats what happens when you are working 7 days a week and its in front of a pc. When I am not working usually the last thing I feel like doing is sitting in front of one anymore. We are ramping up a HUGE project at work and it has meant all hands on deck for our small group of 4 and we are finally seeing some light at the end of the tunnel and hopefully some more downtime in the future.

Jillian - I here ya on the hibernation thing. I do that too.

But here goes for my re-start. Saturday morning bright and early (well when the pooch gets me up so SHE can have her brekkie ;) ) I am starting again. I got out my red 1 book and tomorrow night I am going to flip through the binder again and also the cookbook and come here and get a few recipes to make. Everything has just felt so out of control lately with the work thing and I know its no excuse but I've let it get the best of me. No poor me though. Smarten up is more like it. So saturday morning its back on plan and its back to the gym. I haven't been there in awhile either so by saturday afternoon I'll be in pain - but a good pain!!:carrot:

Nicole - you have such a nice family and you are a great mom and grandma. You must be so proud of all of them!!

Have a good night...must get stuff ready for work tomorrow...

Hey everyone , sorry I haven't been on much been rather crazy around here lately and I don't have much time now I just wanted to share this with you. Maybe my head has been in the sand but I just heard about this today and thought it would make an awesome tool for us to be sure we are getting our water.

hydracoach dot com this thing won't let post links since the crash darn it

A little pricey but maybe if we look around we can find one cheaper . Anyway back off to the rat race around here . Sure hope everyone is doing well !!

Hi there,

Nicole ~~~~~~ You got a keeper there. Cute:)

I weighed in and was up .4 :dizzy: thats ok I was not being a good girl. So now its back to POP.........

Today it was Yogurt,a homeade muffin, grapes,meat caulifllower and later my bars. Thats what really saves me in the evenings.
well need to clean up and settle in for the evening

Got a question??????????????????
How can I get a ticker???????????????????

Help me somone !!

Roma

I weighed in this morning and I am up .2 from Tuesday but I haven't been cheating at all...why is that? i know its not a lot, but I'de rather be down
.2!!

Morning everyone.

Roma you should be able to get a ticker now, i think its 30 posts. I could be wrong tho. Anyway click on my ticker and it will take you to where you can make your own then when you are done making it copy the url code into the signature space in your user control panel. You click on User CP on the top of this page and then edit signature and then paste the link. Hope you get that to work. .4lbs is not alot at all, i'm betting its water. Hope it goes back done for you once you start being POP.

mazda - .2lbs is nothing, dont let it get to you. My scale has a .2 error frame so if its up or down .2 it could be wrong so maybe yours is the same. hang in there.

Cecilia - i meant to post to you lastnight but darn kiddos :lol:. Anyway i just wanted to tell you that keep doing what you are doing. I stalled for about a month and a half going up and down and would end up at the same weight on my WI day. It was frustrating but then now i'm back to losing again. I know how tough it is to stick with it when you dont see results since i'm a visual person but trust me if you stick with it eventually you will see the results. If you go into a mode where you are just going to not worry about it you will end up gaining and i'm sure you dont want that. Barbara said (and i'm not giving an exact quote) that when we stall or plateau its just our bodies giving the skin time to tighten up so that we dont have loose skin and thats what i try to think about when i stall because honestly i dont want hanging skin everywhere so i believe what she says. If you think about it, it took our skin a while to stretch out to where it is and if we lose quick we will just end up with a bunch of ugly hanging skin so try to hang in there while the skin tightens up and you will be happier in the long run. :hug:

Hope everyone is having a great morning so far. I'll be back later.

Hello All. Keep up the good work.

I have been OP for about a week now and haven't really lost any weight. I am bummed about it and I don't really feel good today. So Waaaahhh, waaaahhh, waaahhhh. That gives me excuses for just kicking it to the curb tomorrow for my birthday. Right?

Ladies! Thank you! I really needed that! I am so happy that I posted. I have really been dropping the ball I even skipped a WI on Thursday. So back on the wagon and going to WI tomorrow even though I will have to WI after eating since I work from 6:30 to 11. I am going to do it! Thanks for all the advice I appreciate it! All of you rock! Have a great POP weekend!

I couldn't believe it, we had snow here on Wednesday. "Officially" 6 inches, up to a foot or more in the mountains. I sure hope it really gets warm (high 70's) this weekend/next week. I'm ready!!

Started maintenance this week. Now I just have to behave. I wanted to try to wean myself from two bars a day, but I don't know if I can or not. Plus, I'm having a hard time keeping my hand out of the nuts that I bought for my 3 fats.

Have a great weekend everyone. Stay POP.

Hey everybody,

I hope that you all are having a great weekend. My weekend is going great. I am sticking to this TO and I even had a surprise appreciation party given to me today. My son came up with the idea that they should give me an Appreciation party. My poor husband didn't really have any food for the guests except the cookies and chips we had bought the other day for the picnic we went on downtown. He had asked me the other day what I could snack on and I told him and then on Thursday I decided to do a TO on Friday and today. You should have seen his face yesterday, when he realized I couldn't eat anything except protein and green vegetables. It's a good thing the only people my son wanted to invite was my parents, sister, and his parents. So, they all understood. We had a great time just visiting. It was a total surprise to me. I even managed to mess up my DH plans to get me out of the house. I got up late took the kids and went Father's day shopping and didn't get back in enough time to go get my nails done like he had wanted me to do. Oh well, I had told him we didn't have the money for me to do that anyway.

Please continue to pray for us. My husband has an interview on Wed. for a job that sounds really good for him. I just want him to find a job that is God's will and he can stick with.

Thanks for reading my long post but I had to tell ya'll about my son's great idea for me.

Have a great rest of the weekend.

Dionne - that is so sweet of your son! How old is he? He can't be 11 because mine just turned 11 and is a total butt! I can't do anything right in his eyes... GL to your hubby on wednesday!

Stephanie - Way to go on the maintenance! I'm so jealous of you right now!

I'm going to start a new Losers and Friends thread, now that the new week has begun...

See ya there!!
