Well THAT would explain it then! Thanks for the info... i couldn't figure out why I could see it sometimes and not others.... and I was SO excited about the new tickers... LOL Originally Posted by carla49

I think I'm nuts!Thanks also for the encouragement Carla. As well as Red and Tia. I know I shouldn't worry so bad.. but I hate failure... and I get into this all or nothing mindset... it's very bad for me. I agree that babysteps are the best... but I am so not the patient person... Just ask my kids
Anyway, I am off to bed and all that... have to get my 6yo up for kinder in the morning ugh! BTW... did I report on the fact that my 3yo cut huge chunks out of her hair on Monday?!?! She is such a booger.
She got haircuts courtesy of bis sister twice last year and I was really hoping she would be able to grow it out. I just bought her new barrets and pony holders too! LOL Ah kids... Well night all

BUT, a day in the office and talking to male coworkers..who just don't have a clue about being supportive, encouraging and enthusiastic unless the topic at hand has to do with themselves...just shot me down in the evening when I went out for two sorry beers with two coworkers on dinner break. I even mentioned the weight loss coupled with a horseshow goal for fall and it was all met with silence and seeming indifference. Damn! Then, they went back to the office, and I was left feeling buoyant and suddenly alone. Thud, that was the sound when my spirits hit the ground after being dropped. 
Then I come home and eat, but not all that much so it's probably okay. I am, at the moment, sitting here in some nonstretchy jeans that feel like they are going to tear, and probably will if I were to wear them...either that or I would be left gasping for air all day. Still, I can get them on!! Hurrah. They used to be too loose to wear though.... 
BUT, I am going to do this little bit by bit thing and not give up. I just can't, my pride won't allow it this time. 
I love your enthusiasm and youthful ways! By the way, where is your buddy, freaky? She seems to be slacking again. Can you take the whip to her? 
Congrats on the exercise! Squeaking by is better than not squeaking at all! I hear you on the no beer after the Super Bowl. God, that is almost here, isn't it? What am I going to do. I couldn't stand having to watch that in the office on Monday morning, but that is likely what it will be unless I take the day off and just sit around waiting for results on the Net. I don't think it'll be on regular TV live here and I have no satellite or cable channels. As for the pound a week thing, I am not making that a challenge. Something like that is a bit too hard to qualify, even the efforts needed to possibly see those kind of results. I am not ready for calorie counting or super restrictions on my eating. I've done that and didn't like it. My perfectionist tendencies can all too easily backfire on me. This is something I've realized and so I tend to do much better when I allow myself freedom. It's just a mental thing but I feel more empowered when I feel I don't HAVE to do something. I'm a contrary type of person. 
As for weighing-in, I do that anyhow, and will just update my signature when I see a loss. Speaking of which, I hate that we can't have our signature when we want it. There was this poll and all and it certainly looked like the old way was ahead and then nothing....what goes? It would have been much easier to just put a restriction on the length of signatures if this really was the problem. 
Just keep trying, JCT, that is what is ultimately important. It is everything, really, not to give up, not to claim defeat, ever.
