Hi everyone,

Hope all is well! I am recovering after a sick day yesterday. Cramps, glorious cramps. I've never actually thrown up from period pain before, but I guess there's a first time for everything. Stupid uterus!

Back at work today with one of those sticky heating pads in my drawers. Lol, if anybody touches me they're gonna think my abdomen's on fire.

Swamped and caffienated Hi!

Morning ladies. thought I would check in and see how everyone is doing. I miss ya'll! I have had quite a lot of success on Weight Watchers - as long as I incorporate South Beach principles as well. I'm doing basically a light on the grains phase 2 with WW points. It is great to see numbers jumping off the scale. I said bye bye to the 230's and haven't seen then again in two weeks. THAT feels awesome.

Other than that, life is...life, I suppose. Today isn't great because we are all sick and everyone is crabby because of it but I'm trying to make the most of it.

Hope everyone has a wonderful day!

Good morning ladies. Just wanted to check in and say a quick hello. I'm having a rather rough week. My MIL called on Monday night to tell DH and I that our 17 year old niece tried to take her life. She wasn't successful but I cant stop thinking, what if she was? Or what if she tries again? I'm a bit of a wreck so if I'm distant this week that's why. I hope you all have a great day.

I'm still working through my phase 1 "flu" and headaches. My eating has been really clean so far but I might be going through caffeine withdrawals. I have to go to a doc's appt. but first I'm going to get an iced nf latte and see if does any magic on me!

I'm really enjoying some of the phase 1 recipes! That mock french toast looked odd but tasted great!

Good Morning-Afternoon! How are you all? Its been a very long time since I posted and am ready to begin again!! I look forward to chatting with you all and hope you have a good day.

Good afternoon. Just got back from walking around the zoo with sweet girl. 2 more days of phase 1. I kind of feel safe in phase 1 but we will see how it goes..Hope everyone is doing well

Chelsea,

I know what you mean about your sister. Mine is super thin, never diets, never has time to exercise and she eats out all the time. Yet, the most she ever gains is about ten pounds and its really not noticeable. She is also a bit of a bad influence because she lives two blocks away and always wants to go out to eat. I guess the good thing for me right now is that I am in the midst of law school finals and I don't really have time to eat out right now and just need to do things that don't take too much time. This makes dieting a bit easier, and it makes easier resisting going out to eat or drink. Anyway, I just wanted to say that I feel your pain. It can be irritating when we see those around us who can indulge all the time and it not affect their weight.

KellyEnix, What a tragedy....take care of yourself. I have been personally impacted by attempted suicide in my immediate family...the what happens next time is very hard...PM me any time.
