Don't worry girls....you are not going crazy. They accidentally hid our threads during some site maintainance, as far as I can tell. I think they will be moving them back, but until then, I hope everyone can find this I wanted to share this link with everyone.......please donate generously if you can. Mental illness has a terrible stigma and NAMI is fighting hard to make positive changes in this area of medicine.

XOXO

Hopefully we can round up everyone here now . . .

thanks for the shout-out Nicole! you're awesome!!

the link is also at the bottom of my signature.

Good morning everyone. In the thread last week they said that they were ending the LAWL threads because we were not posting enough. SO there may actually be another thread going in the general section which is where the thread was moved last week. I, however, have not located such thread.

Hope everyone is doing well. I am stalling on the weight loss front and my body is changing right before my eyes. It is like my stomach has come out from hiding. I have to get started back on my exercising. I thought of getting up this morning to exercise then remembered that the DVD remote has been missing for 2 days and I cant select options without it. I should have gotten up anyway and done some freestyle but I did not. It is so very frustrating. Yo Yoing with weight loss. I just wish I had more will power I need to work on that. I need to get some groceries and stick to my plan!!!!

YAY...I found it!

I am having such a hard time drinking the water! I've done 20 oz so far this morning and I feel like I'm gonna float away! blah

Wow, this first week is rough for us under the new thread, huh? Haha This new way of posting will be an adventure for us, right? At least we won't get bored.

Quick post -- thanks for the well wishes. I'm staying strong. Another NSV today -- so far anyway. I brought lunch, and managed to turn down the most delicious-looking catered pasta I have ever seen. I LOVE baked spaghetti and lasagna. But I stuck to my turkey meat loaf left over from Sunday evening. I also moved the giant bowl of M&Ms away from me during these day long meetings. I'm strong, but I don't know if I can sit there for another 5 hrs without grabbing a handful of M&Ms if they are literally sitting right in front of me! So ... I passed them down.

I'm starting to feel the difference. Simple things like feeling a little more definition in my collar bone, ankles not swelling, etc.

Back to the meeting now. Thanks for the support ladies. It's like having a sponsor -- check ins during rough times are VERY helpful for me!

just wanted to stop by really quick and say hi! and update my avatar with my new hair!

Stay strong Erin! You can do it girlie!!!

My hubby had a union meeting last night and the guys always have dinner together before the meeting. WELL they went to a mexican restuarant and he brought home two extra tacos. He did really well and resisted the temption to eat ALL the tacos, but now they are haunting ME lol

So i made some homemade salsa and eating it on my Low Fat triscuits. It's satisfying my need for Mexcian for the moment. I just wish I could have MORE TRISCUITS.

wow Jillian you rock that new do girl! u look great

Wish I could sport short hair (I have big ears) . I love Jamie Lee Curtis with her short cut. She's super skinny too. How much Activia does it take to get that small?? hee hee

WOW! I first saw your picture before reading the post and I thought - "gee, it almost looks like J shaved her head!" Now that takes some guts, girl. Are you cold? LOL.

Holy roller coaster ride, batman. I posted yesterday, somewhere - no idea where! As we used to say, gotta get our poop in a group somewhere! Hopefully now we are all settled on how the weekly thread will be - I panicked a lot when I saw no posts in the other threads!

OK, I have been working out for 4-5 times per week for 2 weeks now, and absolutely no results on the sclae - and that is pi**ing me off big time! I amseeing some results (minimal) so at least thats a bright spot. Argh!

Kim- I think you are hilarious I bet you keep everyone laughing all the time. Sorry your exercising efforts are not showing I am sure they will very soon.

Jillian- I like your hair. way to rock short hair

Arkatana- that was funny about the activia. You should ask them on their website and see what there response would be.

Kelly- sorry for the haunting tacos- way to resist!!!

Erin- way to resist. Pasta may be the devil.

Everyone have a great on plan day!!!! I am starting the 30 day shred tomorrow!!!Hope i am not as sore this time around,,,

Kim, I don't think the working out makes the scale move at first.. well at least not down... but it is so very important to keeping your weight in check long term. I guess that is what makes it so hard. Long term absolutely essential. Short term, it tends to make weight go the the wrong way or stall out for a time. We live in such an instant gratification world these days. It is so hard to wait for results.

Nice day at the OPA (Office of Public Assistance), just had to get the local police to escort a drunk sleeping man out of the waiting room. We all agreed that if we can't come here intoxicated, he couldn't either.
