Terri I just want to let you kow even with starting a new job this morning guess where I just came from?? yes the gym!! with plans on hitting it everymorning. I am so excited. I have a job for DD1 too so she will be working too! I am very happy and tied of living inpoverty I amgoing to pull my self out and live like I need to. able to buy my food with out figurig i I can eat or pay the bils or how many checks will bounce this week. I amso excited iwas dancing all day yesterday. I could not even sit down long enoough toget on the puter for more than a few min. now I am so nervos. but i will say that even though i fought going to a NH i feel like this onw is different. I feel goood about the bosses and that is important. they were so nice and persoable not like the last ones where I felt like i was looked down onadn judges and camup expecting. I was looked on as an assett one who can help make an impact and a good one thatis what they told me during theinterview. I amthinking I am going to like this place!!
Oh enough onthat I will letyou all know tonight how things go. ads for me??OP and ripping with the exercise. drinking like a fsh. I willmake my goal to be back into 160 land even if it is the high 160 by labor day!! who else has goals??
Oh melody do not worry about the not so huge progress for the wedding. the family noticed thatmust mean youare making progress. the slower it takes to cme off the better for you, and the more likely it will stay off. (it will for all of us) as we have each other so stand proud you are making progress!! slow and steady wins the race!! focus on the goal not on the journey!!
This is a very quick check in. I"m so proud of all of you!!! Welcome back, Melody...glad you are with us again. Now, If we could only get Pam with us again ,more often and Dana back again.
We're all going to be okay now. I just want to send an extra prayer for Pam...I just have a feeling that, although she isn't writing, she really needs our prayers.
I have so much to do today. I'm a reall mess up, and I need to get myself back in order.
Pat, good luck on the house. Now get back OP!!!
A JOB, Sue...life is starting to really look up, isn't it??? Leave that danged PB alone and you can truly say that you've been OP.
I'm rooting for all of you and send many prayers and much love your way...

OP wise. Haven't been and teh scale is moving teh wrong way. Most fluid some fat. UGH!
I miss everyone too.
Well a new week
New possibilities!
The 100 club has a labor day goal thing up but they have also a 30 day point challenge going. 1 point daily for every area of the plan food exercise and water. I was thinking of having one in september like that. (I am going camping this sunday for 8 days and gone all day on saturday) I need time to get my head together.
I am glad that you ae on top of things for the house. I will have it n my prayers for you taht things work out well. I know that if it was ment for you to live in thae house then it will work out. so I will keep it going!! but in the mean time just concentrate not on beiong OP but to maintain. your body and mind nneeds to be stable before you can lose more weight. so if you can stableize then it will be better whenyou can fully concentrate. OK??
Hey girl,
Thanks for the prayers and support. I know that you have had more to deal with than just looking for a house! You have been so determined and spirited! How is the new job going? I wish others would check in. Although who am I to wonder?
I got an A in my class. And while part of mean wants to take another class this fall. Common sense says wait. Furthering your education is abig thing where I work.
The summer is winding down. Are you going camping? It would be nice to meet you for coffee. Take pictures and then post them!
Well have a good one
Hello other lo carbers!
Hello my Darlin's, I can't be here to long but I had to check in as it has been so long since I have done so. I am in the midst of downtime. My spine and I are at odds and the pain is bearable as long as I am still and with a cushion in my lower back. I can not stop and give my spine the total rest it needs to get back on track as I have my Mom to see to , the children of the fur and Hubby's dinners and lunches to make so it is slow to get back to myself again. Still my weight is the same inspite of being in bed all evening long. I do need your prayers. I also thank you for them with all my heart. I must goes before the back begins to spasm but I am not gone just down for a time.
Love you all.
Pam
Actually I am not too much out of controlwith the eating (just a tee bit due to TOM) but I feel like I am having an emotional breakdown here........long story...but sounds like my ex hubby might be getting married and for some reason this really bothers me and I have had to do some soul searching and boy am I confused
Sue-----congrats on the job...hope you are liking it
Pat-----I will say a prayer for the house....let us know
Lee, Pam, Melody Hope all is well with everyone...I will check back in later this week.....
Hi,
Thank you Pam for checking in.
Terri, I amsorry that Things are bothering you. That kinda stuff is always confusing. Especially when we are in new relationships. My ex's father passed last weekend. ANd that has had me off all week. None of it makes sense to me and I'm a counsleorLOL!
Just take care.
Pam I am sorry that your back is acting up. SOunds like a slow process. Is your mom eligable for any assist. such as a nurses aid?thro SSI?
Sue, HI!
Melody?
DANA?
Sue Bee, I saw you had a new job and one I am sure you will feel good about. I cheered for you and you know that is a great light at the end of the tunnel isn't it.
Pat, I am so glad you have found a home that you can be happy with. It is so worth the wait! Is Mom eligable, yes but out here in the country it is not an option.
I manage. I walk funny but I manage.
My Nicky will soon have babies and that is not something we had planned for. I tried so hard to keep that from happening. Still, I am eager to see them at this point.
SueBee I am sitting here with my Atkins drink so you know I am being good although my weight has stuck like a brick with the lack of exercise!!!!! Patience will win out! Still at 293 which is minus 60 pounds!
