Just thought I would get us started his week, so I can catch you up on everything. My Mom passed last Saturday and we had her funeral Thursday, so needless to say Christmas was horrible. It wasn't the cancer that got her it was pneumonia, but it was peaceful and now she is at peace. Now that I have brought everyone down, I have been eating everything in sight. Help!!!
For eight days I have been eating like a pig!!!!! Yes, I said eight days!!! If there is an upside to a funeral it is all the wonderful food. I can't believe I just said that out loud. So, I am thinking about joining a gym and I have checked into a few so far. I know I have gained so much, I am winded at times and that has never happened before,
I will be changing my ticker when I weigh in on the first.....my restart date.
I really have missed all of you and thank you for the prayers. Thanks Jeanne!!!!
Anyone up for a VD Challenge? That will be 45 days from the first, I should be able to lose at least a little by then.
I am so sorry for your loss. It is never a good time to lose someone that you love. I am glad that she is at peace, it is always nice to know they are no longer in pain.
As for the eating. . it is understandable, it was a very stressful time. As for the gaining, you are definitely not alone!! I am ready for a VD goal too!
Just remember to take care of yourself. Sometimes when we are so busy taking care of others we forget to take care of ourselves.
Hey everyone! I was just reading my jan/feb WW Magazine and I found:
"The Top 10 List" - so I thought I'd share it with you since some of us are starting AGAIN!
1 - Get an attitude adjustment
2 - Renovate your kitchen
3 - Make some friends
4 - Move more
5 - Get cooking
6 - Be straight with yourself
7 - Drink like a fish
8 - Become a creature of habit
9 - Make a fitness commitment
10 - Roll with it
Under each of the titles above in the magazine are a paragraph or two describing each title - Might be worth buying one the next time you are at the store.

Fluffy, and what a cute name Today, I am not going to do anything special. We're going to church tonight, come home, and maybe go to sleep. My New Year's resolution for this 08' is to focous on my character, my heart, and change my way of thinking. Instead of thinking I have to lose weight, I am going to start thinking about being healthy. Also, Instead of thinking I have /need to lose weight, I am going to change that I want to , Because, now I looked back in life, anything that I wanted to I had always went after it. Therefore, I am going to change the way I think. I hoped that all of the women here will have a blessed, and wonderful year. That all of your dreams will come true!
First off let me express my condolences to you and your family. A death is always hard but moreso at the holidays!!
I have been away from the board for a couple years and was surprised when I found all my stuff was still here!!
The last 18 months have been extremely hard for me. In June '06 I married my beloved best friend and lost him to complications of Agent Orange from the Vietnam War in August!! We knew our time would be short as his health was bad but we hoped for more than 2 months!!
I have been off the program since May '06 and have put 15 pounds back on. I decided I need to get off my pity pot and get back on track which is what Jerry would want me to do so here I am.
2008 will be a new year for me I am spending New Years Eve day getting my house in order and will start the new year on the right foot.
Things I will be doing:
1 Eating right...Weight Watchers and for my diabeties
2 Drinking drinking drinking that water
3 Walking
4 Adjusting my attitude
I am so thankful to see this group is still up and going strong cuz I sure need the support!!
I am up for the Valentine's Challenge....I will try for my 10%.
Happy New Year All!!
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE! Well I am up bringing in the new year with my family. We went out to dinner then came home and played the Wii system....bowling.....away I had a brief workout to get my blood pumping for today. I am going to be taking my measurements when I get up as well as a before picture...joy!joy! That is o.k because this is the year to say "Be Gone Fluffiness". I want to say Good Luck to everyone as we start our New Year. Remember to stay focused, drink lots of water...and most importantly live each day to the fullest. We can do this!

Daph--Sorry for your loss. I was thinking of you yesterday but was hoping for a different ending. It's natural to do some emotional eating at a time like this. I am happy to see you back on the boards because we are here to support you.
I have put back on a lot of weight. Its ridiculous. Well...what to do now? Acknowledge and move on. Back on the wagon again.
Hello! I am so hoping for a loss this week! I have been working like crazy around the house and this is the longest I have sat and done nothing in about 5 days. I am so exhausted! We have been moving furniture and painting and cleaning and cleaning. I am so sore. I told my husband if I didn't lose this week I was quitting! Just Kidding!
Dale Jr, Sorry to hear about your mom! It is so hard to deal with the loss of a loved one and the holidays make it even harder. I just have to tell you that your mom would not want you to grieve in the way that you are greiving you have worked hard to lose the weight you have and I am sure she would not want you to go back down that path of gain. I think a gym is great but you may need a hobby or something so that when you are at home and you are feeling sad you can pick up a scrapbook and work on it or read, or hop in the shower or bath and take a long hot bath or shower. You need to recognize that sadness as a trigger for devouring food and divert your attention to something else. I was up late last night and on my way up to bed I felt the need to go into the kitchen. I went in opened the cupboards and almost grabbed the candy bars up there and as I reached I told myself I was tired and went to bed.
My New Years Resolution is to be more active!! YEAH FOR 2008! Lets leave those pounds lost in 2007 back there and never visit them again!
Okay, I am begining to feel a bit more human. I am going to attempt a yoga dvd this afternoon. I hope I can do more than 5 minutes of it. I truely am bad at doing dvd's. So easy to walk, so hard to do these moves. lol
Hi gang! flower - lol! I so feel what your saying about the dvd's! And, can it get any easier than popping it into our dvd player in the privacy of our own homes?!?!?!?
FYI: I bought and tried the WW pita's today! (2pts.) Very good, very fresh! I had mine with ff bologna and mustard. Tommorrow I'm packing it full of veggies and taking it in my lunch! I also bought the carmel cakes - 1 pt. each.
stengel150 - hi! What day do you weigh in? Good luck on that loss!
likenoother - Helloooooo stranger! I haven't talked to you in forever! Hope everything is going good!
Guess what::::::: my friends at the 300 + thread were all talking about a ddr. So........I went out and bought one. It's tons of fun and a great alternative to exercising!!!! Just thought I'd share that! Byeeee!
At Home Support Group.....12-30 to 1-5
So, I am thinking about joining a gym and I have checked into a few so far. I know I have gained so much, I am winded at times and that has never happened before,
