AMMI WAY TO GO!! 6 lbs is awesome! And you were worried about no loss at all. Silly girl!

WI today. No loss but no gain either so I guess that is something to be happy about. It is also TOM so I have wanted to eat everything in sight! And I have tried. *sigh* I just have to keep remembering that I didn't put this weight on over night and it isn't going to come off that quickly either. It is a day by day process that I will have to work at for the rest of my life. It is just so FRUSTRATING! lol Also I want it to come off quickly because I am meeting someone in August. I met him on the internet 5 years ago and I am flying to Michigan in August to finally meet him. He has seen pictures of me but he doesn't fully know how overweight I am. And I know this for a fact. And I know I should just tell him but when hes like what are you a size 14-16? I just feel self conscious going actually no, I am a size 26 and weight 300 lbs. FUN HUH?! Apparently I take pictures better then I thought I did. Heh. I don't lie or anything and say hey yeah I am a size 16 I just say you'll find out soon enough. Which is still lying though omition. ERGH!
I don't know. I am just whining. I'll stop now.

Ammi~ The infection is leaving, I still have slite symptoms, but I am doing well Thanks ......
As for the Birthday, no gifts, nothing at all ,, I think about 4 people wished me Happy Birthday,, but it was just not a big deal to know one.. Would have been nice to have felt loved, or appreciated.. but That is how it goes.. I am still breathing, BUT, I am Gonna work on changing some things about my big REALITY check yesterday,, I am a giver and I will always be,, But I am slowing it down to a select few....!!!!!!Take Care everyone.

Sassy - I am glad that you will be getting your scales this week, are you going to be a weekly weigher or do you think you will weigh daily like some of the people here? Me, I hate weighing, wish I never had to do it. I just dread the day when I see no loss or an unearned gain!!

Thanks for the congrats on my weight loss, I am still feeling pretty good about it

Patti - I amaze me too lol, I really expected to get on the scales and see no loss this week. Or maybe only the 1 I needed. I was thrilled to see 6 lbs gone. I had to get off and on the scales again just to make sure I was seeing it right. I am sure you are going to be in twotown when you have your next official WI

Sharon - I don't think I have lost nearly as much as you have since you first started dieting, so no need to feel envious I bet now you are on SB, provided you don't get fed up of eggs you will see those lbs flying off again. Thank you for your congrats by the way, it does sound brilliant when you put it as 2 and a half stone lost. Sounds better than 35 lb

Misti - ok you may still have a good side chest, but compared to your before shots they still deserve to be called small now LOL. Doesn't it make you laugh when you hear girls with little boobs go on about getting breast implants when all we want is to have small ones. Shame we can't wave a magic wand and swap them with those girls.

Thanks for the congrats on me getting into twotown, yes it is a pretty amazing day for me! If I feel this good now I can just imagine how fantastic I will feel when I get into the 100s!! It won't be long until you are there yourself!

Hpnotq - thanks for the congrats

I hope you can get a rental car provided by your insurance while your truck is in getting fixed. If not it's good that you can use your mum's car as long as you can drop her off to work etc.

Valerie - nice to see you posting, I know your school work is important, but if you find dieting easier to stick to when you come to 3FC then I hope you can squeeze in some more time here. It sounds like you are having a hard time staying OP but at least you are trying, you are not quitting, so you are still doing good. that this will be the week that you find the willpower to stay on track

Idril - oooh that is so exciting that you are meeting that man for real that you have been talking to online for 5 years!!! I think in all that time you must have really gotten to know each other, and 300 or 100 lbs I reckon he will still fancy the pants off you Still I can understand you being nervous. I met my husband via the Internet and although he said he loved me before we met, I wouldn't give in to believing it until he met me in person. I just couldn't believe anybody could ever fancy me at my size. But I am glad to say that he did fancy me, and that first night of the first time we met we spent the whole night in bed So out of character for both of us, but we are soul mates and it was just right. I hope when you meet your guy you will get on just as well

Crock - I am glad you are feeling better now that the infection is leaving.

I am so upset for you that you didn't get any gifts, do you mean none at all, or just none from your so called friends? You know if I ever had a friend look after my kids like you have done for Kim I would buy them a gift just to show my appreciation, but if it was their birthday as well then I would have gone all out and got something special. I think it's a good job you are going to take stock and try to be as giving as you are to a very select few

Ok gonna go to ebay now, trying to win myself a gazelle rider, I always get outbid so I am waiting til the very last 60 seconds lol. I win this one!! Bye for now,

Hugs,

Ammi

Ammi~ good luck on the gazelle.. if we lived closer you could use mine..... NOPE not one gift.. nothing at all... But like I said before, I am still breathing.. ya know what I mean?.. Guess that is what happens when you are too giving all the time... Some people are just Exptecting it or so used to it. It goes un appreciated.. oh well.. like I said before, I will be more limited.. One of my Girlfriends sent me a Birthday Card that I got in the mail today, so I did get something,, ... and oh I did lose 3 lbs when I weighed in yesterday... I am down today, I have had to hold my tears back since last night, but I may go take a drive and have a good cry over this, so the healing can start.. That is the only thing I can think of doing,,

Ammi -- Just wanted to congratulate you on the weigh in -- 6 pounds!!!!!! I am so very very happy for you! You are definitely in the groove, girl, and well into 2derville!

Ammi-
Actually we stopped talking online a long time ago. Most of our time is spent on the phone. Which used to make for very high phone bills. Thank God for nights and weekend minutes. We aren't like "dating" or anything. We are just friends however I think my feelings are more for him then his are for me. And that isn't really a big deal. I am not going out there for any romance. I am going out there to hang out with one of my best friends. It just makes me nervous that he will see me and be disapointed.
That is awesome about you and your hubby though! I wish all men were as sweet as he sounds! Wow you little charlatain! I hope things go well, that is all I can hope for.

Well, today was my first day working in the office at the newspaper. I really liked the girls I share the office with. And I get my own HUGE desk, and extension number! LOL...and one of those name plate things for the front of my desk. Doesn't take much to impress me. I just sorta watched what they did, and did a bunch of filing, since they were majorly behind on it. I'll be answering phones, e-mails, taking care of anything to do with people's subscriptions. Tomorrow, I have off, and then I don't have another day off until Monday. They work rotating weekend shifts from 6am-12pm, and this weekend will be mine.

Went to the Urologist this morning, and he approved Andrew for the procedure. He said we had valid points, and he usually doesn't approve someone so young, but that we seemed to have our heads on our shoulders, and know what we want. His procedure is scheduled for July 21st. His insurance is covering half of the cost, so it's only going to cost him $300. A LOT less than a baby! lol.

Ammi - CONGRATS on the 6 pounds lost!!!! You're in the 2's!!! I knew you could do it!!!!!

Crock - Another 3 pounds gone! You're nearing 80 lost! I wish I was losing as fast as YOU!

Annie - WOOOO!!! ANOTHER 3 POUNDS!!!! You're almost to -40! You're doing so well!!! SO PROUD OF YOU!!!!!

Xena - Shucks...thanks! I like the idea of stickers! hmmm...maybe I'll implement that somehow!

Idril - Where in Michigan is this guy? I'm from Michigan....

Kayley YAY on the new job being cool! I am always nervous to start a new job. Thats awesome that you get your own desk and everything, I would have been super excited! I am glad everything went well with the Urologist. You both do seem like you have your heads on straight, I am glad he saw that too. WHOOOHOO FOR NO BABIES! Heh.
He lives in Farwell, so he is in the middle of the mit. lol And if you don't know where Farwell is WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?! YOU SHOULD KNOW YOUR OWN STATE! lol I'm kidding, it is just north of Mt Pleasant. We were also going to go visit his dad because I LOOOOVE his dad, which he lives in Port Huron. Either of those anywhere near you?

Crock - I am so sorry your friends really dropped the ball on your birthday. I know how that is to be forgotten on your birthday and I don't care how old you are, it just plain SUCKS! I can't explain your friends' action (or inaction in this case) but I just hate you were sad for your birthday. Hopefully you can start feeling better about it soon.

Ammi - Wow! Another BIG loss this week. You are doing so great! I am happy for you!

idril - I hope you can relax and have fun when you meet your internet friend in person. I met a guy on the internet several years ago and while it never turned into a romance we are still friends to this day.

Melissa - Hope your bad day gets better tomorrow.

Kayley - Glad to hear your first day went well!!!

Misti - I can't get to your pics right now. I don't think it's your link...my computer's been acting very spazzy lately. I am anxious to see your progress pics. It is always so encouraging to see the changes in people.


Not much to report here. Had an OK work day, had a good food day, and got it just a tiny bit of exercise but not as much as I had hoped. I am really really tired so plan to hit the hay early so I can have more energy tomorrow to get some good exercise in.

Nighty-night everyone.

Idril - Actually, I know where both those places are...:P Hehe...about 3 1/2 hours from where I am. I'm in Southwestern Michigan...right by the Indiana border. Near Notre Dame University in South Bend, IN.

Good evening everyone! Don't have time for personals, but I wanted to let yall know that we got the call from the insurance company today. We're supposed to take our truck in the repair shop and get it fixed now. Good news is that it'll be covered under our comprehensive insurance...which means...not a penny out of our pockets....WOOOHOOO! Hope everyone has a great night and a wonderful Tuesday.

Crock: Huge I wish I knew your mailing address sweetie, you would have gotten a birthday card and lots of virtual hugs from me. I'm so sorry that your friends were so thoughtless after all you do for them and all the love that you show them. We love you so much here! Hang in there.

Hpnotq: Thanks for the Birthday wishes and I'm so happy for you that your insurance will be picking up the tab for your truck repairs!

Ammi: You Go Girl! I'm so proud of you into the 2's and loosing 6 pounds to slam it in!

Sharon: Good luck on the South Beach Diet!

Val: You can do it Here's a hand up. Come on Val!

Idril: Hey, no gain is something to smile about!

Wyllen: I see your Cw has gone down by 3 pounds! Congrats on that. Only 3 more to be in the 1's Great Job!

Kayley: Yea to you about your new job! I'm so happy for you that you like it so much. I hope it works out wonderfully for you!

Melissa: Big I hope you aren't upset anymore.

Well, It is Monday evening and my Dad woke up with a bad cold this morning. He was coughing yesterday and today he was feeling bad so they decided to go home two days early because he was worried to pass it on. I already have it now. My throat is sore and I am having a hard time swallowing. I enjoyed seeing my parents so much but I am going to enjoy sleeping in my own bed tonight. LOL. So, it is 9:15 p.m. and I think I will head there now. Good night my chickies. Hugs to all of you who are needing it.

Blessings,
Annie

Hi everybody! Just checking in briefly before I crash into bed. Tonight was a lazy one for me but I decided to do it as I have been really working hard. So didn't go do water aerobics or much else... did get in 74 minutes of aerobic walking today though.

Kayley congratulations on the job! Sounds wonderful and so glad you had a good first day!

Just a fly by post as I don't want you all to think I've fallen off the face of the earth. And no jokes about living 'down under'!

I am simply VERY snowed under with school work at the moment. I have spent hours on my reports and still have a way to go. I also have to write a report for my student teacher, which will take a couple of hours I think. I'm not sure when I'll fit that in.

I am keeping track of how everyone is going and I can't wait to be able to write some individual posts.

Take care all,

Zelma
