I don't know why I didn't get any notice that anyone posted

Anyway, great job everyone. Some amazing drops. I had my second wi of the week and was down another 0.8 lbs which puts me at a total of 14 lbs

I am sick again I am really tired of being sick. I did pick up a cold & flu pack and some other pill that I can't think of off the top of my head but basically to help with colds etc (kind of like Cold FX). I did go to the Dr. and they said it was a continuation of my sinus infection from two weeks ago. I don't think that's what it is, but I'm not a Dr LOL

I had my daycare meeting last night that we get together once a month. So many people made comments about my weight finally! One lady actually asked how much and when I told her she said "That really surprised me because I would say you look like you've lost at least 30 lbs" That made me feel soooooooo good!

So my goal is to get to the 140's next week

Told you people would notice when you got close to 15lbs - congrats Tamara!! And hope you get better soon!

I'm starting to put up xmas decorations and get my shopping done (I know -I'm just into it this year). Sadly, I'm in the mood for eggnog. I looked up a couple of things....a tall nonfat eggnog latte at Starbucks is 350 calories, one third of them from fat. Regular nonfat eggnog is over 250 calories - um, that's without the rum. Maybe it'll be a xmas eve treat.

Oh well, back to my tea - ha ha!

OMG I thought I lost all you girls...WE ARE BACK....I found Laura on FB....we all need to add one another on FB so we have eachother!!!!

WHAT A RELIEF...I need you guys!!! LOL

Don't have time to post now...just know that I am happy to have you all back.

Kim

I made a group on facebook called....Just Friends....anyone that wants to join please do so, so we don't lose one another.

I think I have to approve you to join, don't just want anyone joining...LOL

Hope you have all been well, tough night lastnight, have done well today so far...have been drinking water
like crazy today. Hoping to redeem myself.

I didn't expect my birthday to effect me the way it has....the thoughts of turning 40 in 4 years really does bother me, have never dealt with
age issues before...30 was nothing...but 40....that is a tough one to swallow. I just keep telling myself...I will be better at 40 then I was at 20...fitter and healthier.

ONWARD I go!!!!!!!

K

OK what the heck....I swear I have been having issues getting to this website - anyone else having issues?

Anyhooooo...WTG on the losses everyone!

BL - You are so close to your next decade...keep going!!!! And that is so sweet of you to help out your friend & her WL struggles. It's never easy, but it's nice having someone to help you & hold your hand when you need it.

Laura - you look amazing - I can only imagine how you must feel!!!

Tamara - sorry to hear you are sick - it sucks But I am happy that people are noticing your WL!!!! That would totally make up for feeling sick, imo....ok well maybe for a few seconds anyway!!!

Well I was down -1.4lbs this week! Gonna keep on trucking.....so close to the -20lbs mark!

Have a great evening everyone

Hey all just checking in. I am finally getting ride of this cold/cough. Feeling more like myself again. I havent gone for a weigh in for 2 weeks now. My home scale hasnt fluctuated too much.
I didnt want to get anyone else sick and sleeping like crap so spending most of the week at home.
Figures crossed I can get back into the swing of things. I was suppose to be at goal by now but I'm not so I am hoping to loose 8lbs by Christmas!!
This site was down for awhile so I hope everyone is well, and I did join the FB group!! Kim aka skimmy!!

HMj...yes the site has been down....I made a facebook page...so we could all join and not lose one another if for some reason this site goes down again, we can still keep in touch...come join us!!

I DON'T WANT THE NEXT DECADE...LOL I hate this I feel so damned old right now....me 40...NO WAY!!!!! Imagine what I will be like when it does get here...hopefully will deal better then I am now, because this stinks...my poor husband thinks I am pissed at him, and I have tried to explain, but he just doesn't get it.

I haven't yet sat down with the co-worker...it is so hard to get a time that works...life always seems to be in the way of something.

WTG on the 1.4 los as well....keep on keepin on girlie!!

Skimmy....Glad you are starting to feel better!! Hope you can get back on track, it is hard once you stray...don't I know it all too well!!


Welcome to the facebook group...I wondered who it was...LOL Hope everyone else joins as well...i like our little group here and would hate to lose you all!!!

I just got back from the gym....felt great to go....haven't been since Tuesday.

Well I better get going...want to check email and then get to bed, work tomorrow, then off Monday, thank goodness!!

Have a great night all.

Thanks goodness the site is up again - that was frustrating. I joined the FB group Kim - great idea, and great job finding me!! Thanks!

Rough weekend....just want to eat a loaf of bread, a block of cheese and a bottle of wine...oh yeah, for every meal. I'm not eating enough in the day and just want to carb load when I'm home - so easy to go back to bad habits. I'm hoping tomorrow will be a settle down day. Maybe a workout is in order.

Hey Kim - I turned 40 this year and it wasn't bad. Actually that was what led me to join HM. I figured, I've put everything and everyone before me for 40 years, now it's my turn - so I spent the money and put me first. So far 40 is way better than any of the last 5 years (I'd say 10, but I got married and did a marathon in 2001, so that year was pretty good).

Congrats to all the losers!! Get better to everyone who is sick!!! So glad to have you all back with the site again!!!!
Laura

LOL BL - the decade I was referring to was not your age - it's the next decade of weight! ie: transitioning from 170's to 160's. I suppose I should have clarified that...my friend & I always refer to our 10lb milestones as 'decades'. It was a case of typing what's in my head & expecting you to understand my lingo haha!

HAGN all!

HMj.

Haha - that is hilarious HMJunkie!!!
Here's to the next decade for all of us LOL!

LOL HMj...so sorry I thought you meant age...ON TO THE NEXT DECADE....!!!!!!!!!!!

I got an email from a co-worker lastnight and apparently she could tell all week that it was affecting me....I didn't even know that I was down, but she knows me better then I think I guess. She is 51 and she said that I will get through it, I just have to hang in there. I am only as old as I feel...and all that good stuff.

BUT...the real eye opener for me was when I got into bed and I got thinking about how down I am and then it made me think of my cousin and made me realize just how lucky I am. In September 2006 my cousin Jeneen fell very ill and on Sept, 26. 9 days after her 36th birthday she passed away leaving behind her husband and 4 beautiful children. Here I am worried about getting old etc....and she is not even here to celebrate the best years, watching her children grow, sending them off to college...marriage....grandmother...etc.

Wow...for once I am at a loss for words.....

I just wanted to say I am done worrying about my age. There are more important things to worry about!!

Have a great day ladies.

Haven't had a chance to comment on everyone, but I will. Just heading out the door to the Santa Clause parade in Toronto with the family. Tried to find the group on FB but there are too many groups called Just Friends LOL. Can someone find me on there. It's Tamara Ensoll-Stewart or my email is [email protected]

Catch up with all of you later.

Hello all! Yes I was also having issues with this site the other day when I tried to post...I had a bunch of things written here...and it wouldn't post...so it was a loss! I was away all weekend...my Niece's baptism..and a big move in to my bro's new house. I did better than I thought I would over the weekend..although I did have a piece of cake at the baptism....but I'm ok with that...it was a small piece..haha but I could have eaten the whole damn thing!!!!!!!!
Then yesterday got a good workout from moving boxes up and down stairs....we all got subway for dinner...it worked well...now I"m back home and back on track totally! I wish the weekends were a little easier...especially this time of year...I have a birthday every weekend till the end of Dec...PLUS christmas parties...I dont' know how I"m going to make it through....but I'm thinking I"ll be on here a lot! lol This is a great support system.
I also tried finding the group on Facebook, but was unable to...I'll try to look again. If anyone wanted to add me that would be great. Renee Mitchell.
Back to work tomorrow for 3 days so I don't go for a WI till Thursday....maybe thats a good thing this week
Good luck to all for the week...look forward to hearing about all the great WI's!
Take care all!

OK..I'm pretty sure I found the group on FB
