Hi Ladies.. this weekemd I am planning on going to a party at a local tavern given for a friend that works with my partner. He's a great guy who I really enjoy hanging out with and since my loss last year I hadnt been out very much so he always acts so happy to see me and tells me how pretty I look and how good it is to see me. It is really nice.

GOOD GOOD GREAT morning gang!

guesssssssssssss what!

I got on the scale this morning and it is down another 2 lbs!!!!!

That is 20 lbs!

20 whole pounds I have finally lost!

.... in 13 months ;-)

and down into the 180's (just barely but still......it has been so long since I've seen the 180's)

I got teary eyed after I got off the scale for the 3rd time to make sure I could believe my eyes and thinking of a time not too long ago when I was afraid it was hopeless and that I was only gonna continue to get bigger and bigger no matter what I did. But THANKFULLY those days are gone, and my thyroid is finally being treated and the Armour is working and some of this weight is finally slowly slipping off this ole body.

never thought I'd be so excited to see the 180's hahahahaha

what's everybody up to today? I'm doing payroll and paperwork. So glad it is Friday!

hope everybody has a great day!

hugs,
cathy

Hi! I'm new here, and sorry if I shouldn't be posting here. I have been dieting for 11 months almost, and have lost 71 lbs. I have another 40 or so to go, and need a "second wind" as I have really been stagnating for the entire summer and haven't REALLY had a loss since May or early June. I have been going back and forth with the same 7-8 lbs. and I need to GET WITH IT and get to goal!

Thank God it's Friday!! This weekend I'm taking a road trip to take the rest of my son's stuff to him at college. He's a sophomore and has been gone for a week now.

Happy Friday, everyone!

Morning everyone, Scaleho - of course you're supposed to post here Welcome to the group and WAY TO GO on the 71 pounds. Wow, you're doing great. You'll get the rest off and here is a great place to get support.

Cathy!!!!!!!!!!!! 20 pounds. You are the woman. I'm so proud of you. I know when the scale is really nice to me, I tend to weigh at least 3 pounds waiting for it to say it was just joking.

KO, sounds like you have a busy weekend planned. Have a great time with mom and gram.

Wannabe, have fun at the party tonight. Isn't it nice when someone is accepting of you just as you are and enjoys you just as you are? You'll have a great time.

Marble, glad to have you back on track. Sometimes you just got to fall off since life is meant to be lived. But I'm way proud of you for getting back on the wagon. You can do this.

We're going over the mountain tomorrow to buy supplies to convert our garage to an apartment for DS and girlfriend. So I'll be spending oodles of money this weekend. As long as we're over there, I'm going to go to costco and get more good fruit. I hate that fruit season is almost over...

I lost another pound. So I've lost 5.5 since I returned from the cruise. YEAH!!!! This morning my scale and I were best of friends.

TTYL.

MMarie – yeah, that’s why I am thankful that work starts on Aug 29 and classes start on Sept 20-23rd. I sorta get eased into the hectic schedule…. What’s a personal life?? Hehehe… Once school and work start up I’m usually never seen from again! I spend most of my time in the library or in my bedroom locked up doing homework or studying. Speaking of studying I just signed up for my 3rd and final State Exam… which will be on Sept. 10th which is good because it’s after work starts, but it’s before classes start so I’ll have time to study for it. It covers Social Science, Literature, History, and English. Everything is good for me except the History part ICKY!

Cathy – CONGRATS!!

Scaleho – 71lbs!!! WOW! I know what you mean about second wind, I think mine is finally coming back to me now. WELCOME to the group!

I went to the gym yesterday for an hour. My sister and her friend went also. I got James to go too.

This week is positions week. I can’t wait for next week! We will be in vegas! The league isn’t as big as before, but I hope to win some money… I got bills!

I gotta run! Sorry for such a short post!

Take care everyone!
Sue…

I have to find my scale.. I haven't weighed myself since the end of July.. I know I gained I just don't know what. Things have been crazy here, but are finally settling down.

Hope Everyone have a wonderful Friday Evening and a Nice Relaxing Weekend
