Hey all!
Slowly but surely, I'm gaining back my composure. Might even join WW again this week, depending on our money situation...For now, I'm staying OP (for 2 whole days now! Yay me!) on my own and taking it one day at time.
Lightweigh, sounds like you're doing great on your plan. Glad you've found something that works with your lifestyle and something that you can do with your husband. A buddy always makes things go easier (THANKS TO ALL OF YOU BUDDIES GUYS!)
Volley: How about board games as gifts for the whole family? Not sure how old the families are, but board games are pretty reasonable, and everyone seems to like them. Just an idea.
Brandy...fantastic job on the barrier break. I love blasting through a number like that. So much motivation to keep going.
Dot...good idea with the letter. I always find writing a letter lets me say what I REALLY want to, without the worry of sociability. Good job on the loss too!
Mari...mmmm 2 days in pjs...that'd be great. I had a nice brunch with my sister yesterday, and she gave me two tickets to see the symphony and lovely scarf. Was supposed to have a nice supper with dh last night, but he got sick. Ah well...it's hard to be disappointed when your honey is double up in bed. He'll make it up to me.
Raff...how goes the online OA? Sounds like you weren't enjoying your other meetings. I meant to ask you a while ago about the Staten Island Ferry crash...hope everything is ok for you...I hear you on the time issues and the one pound loss a week. I guess we didn't gain all this weight in a year, so it makes sense that it take a long time to come off. Just frustrating though isn't it? I think that's the part that makes perseverance the hardest. If I could go really hard for 2 weeks and lose say, 15 pounds I think I'd be able to stick with things a lot longer (even if my loss tapered off to one or two pounds after that...) But as I'm not willing to have my stomach stapled or take some wicked nasty drugs to do it, I think I'm destined to lose it the slow and healthy way. I just need to commit my lifetime to it, that's all...
And last but not least, Nichola...hope you've had a chance to regroup after your weekend. You had a really good run of losses a couple of months ago (pre-U.K. visitors)...what was your motivation then? Maybe looking back on some past posts will help you get back on track. We can do it!!!
Jo...I know you're out there...hope things are going great for you all! We miss you here...drop us a line.
Ali?? Where are you??? Hopefully you're enjoying your new life...I can't even imagine how fantastic that must feel. Come and tell us how you're doing hmmm???
Daniell? Kap? Did I miss anyone else???
Well...off to bake my birthday cake with my munchkin...30 years sure went fast...here's to 100 more!
