Hello Everyone...Its a great day today.. Sunny but really hot.. I am trying to get to the pool.. There will be a informal meeting at the pool today about extending the pool 1 more week after the Labor day Holiday. It usually closes for the season after that Monday.. So we shall see...It will be nice but if it happens to rain that week.. it will be ashame but no one can predict Mother Nature... I hope they do...we shall see...I didnt go to the gym last night..
Hubby worked late and I wanted to be here to fix his dinner and finish uo some thing.. I wil pay for it some Wednesday..:lol:

Rosey...HAPPY 35TH ANNIVERSARY I hope that your hubby came home to be with you and that you all did something real special...
I am so sorry about the smoke. I hope that your asthma gets better..All that smoke must be really bad.. I hope it calms down real soon and you DONT get any fires..Thats so awful whats happening there...
Thank-you for saying that Rosey.. That was so Sweet of you..but I was glad to do it for Buddy....He really enjoyed himself.. I checked on him today and he is not feeling to good....he has good and bad days.. Poor guy..
WAY TO GO on your exercising :bravo:..I know its hard but it all pays off..
I saw a lady that owns a resturant near us and she lost alot of weight going to the same gym we go to.. I had not seen her in a long while and sure enough she gained it back.. She told me that she stopped going to the gym and thats why she gained it all back....That proved to me that exercise is the key.. She is my age. She told me not to stop no mater what when I reached my goal weight...I told her that would not be a problem because it will prob take me forever to do reach it :rofl:... but serioulsy I do believe what she said..I can see the difference when I miss a day here and there.... I admire you going to workout Rosey as I know how difficult it can be for you...You Go Girl :cp: :yes:
Your card prices are so good..how in the world can that lady try to cheat you..thats crazy... By the way..did you win at Bingo??
Again I am sorry that I missed saying happy Anniversary yesterday..
Have a great day..:love: :wave:

Glen.. How have you been???? How was the weigh-in?? Hope all is well with you :love: :wave:

Donna... I can see you have been real busy too..I hope that you get all your house done.. I am trying to find a good carpet cleaner as my rugs and furniture need cleaning real bad..Please tell me what day is your Birthday???
You are only in your 40's..thats young Sweetie.. You will feel no different believe me...Age is only a number......and I am still 39..:lol:....Still...:lol:
I hope you got to the ball game.. That sounded like so much fun..
I know its hard to know what to do with finances....Been there..well still there..I think everyone in todays world has financial worries.. unless they are a millionaires...and I will never know whats that like and even if I was I wouldnt have it long.. I would help others...that would be the only thing to do. I know its so hard to stay on a diet.. I am sure when we go to MB in 12 days..I am counting..:lol: I will gain and I am prepared for that..because when I get back I will buckle-down and lose it..I Hope..:lol:..but I know what you are saying...it will come off Sweetie....it just takes time..
Do you think you will be coming to MB when we are there??? That would be so great..but if you cant I do understand..
Have a great day :love: :wave:

Daphne...Sounds like the children are keeping you very busy.. Thats understandable... I hope that you arent sick..( bathrom issues )..if so please feel better real soon... I miss you girlfriend...
Hope things are going good today..
Have a great day :love: :wave:

Dana..I am getting worried about you...Where are you???
I hope that things are alright with you and your family..

Just A note to check in......Hope all have a great weekend..

Rosey, I am very proud of you for getting right back into the swing of things. Happy Belated Anniversary! I am sorry I missed out on your special day.

Just to let you all know that I feel that someone should start a new thread soon. It may help Daphne or it may not. She seems to always freeze up once she tries to log onto this site. Also, I may not be on very much which recently has been very obvious. I have a lot going on that I do not have the time to spend like I did before on the pc. I still will check in from time to time because you all are my family and this is no way a goodbye. :) So, please someone go ahead and start up a new thread. My birthday is Friday and I hope that maybe that will kick my butt back on plan.

Dana, I miss you and hope that all is well with you and your family. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

To another Back Door friend number 5!!!! :bravo:

Hello Everyone....Its another beautiful day here...I went to the pool yesterday and I hope I will get there today..The meeting went well.. I enjoyed talking to friends.. We all agreed due to the storm fast aproching maybe its better not to extend the pool.. We will be having extended hours next year like 12-11pm on friday nights for adult swimming..That will be nice.
The year is almost over for the pool and I dont know where it has gone..Its always like that...I guess time just flies....

Rosey...YOU GO GIRL I am so proud of you.. I know its so hard and thats great your dd has inspired you..I hope that in time it gets better and you arent so soar...I will be working on foods too. We can do it Rosey...
When I get back from Myrtle beach I intend to stay good untill the Holidays..
I hope to lose more and see more results..but it all takes time ans alot of hard work... We can do..I know we can..I hope that your asthma is better and you are feeling better.. Hope that your day is good..:love: :wave:

Donna... I am sorry that you are so busy and cant get in here like before..
I could tell of course that you have not been on here much..:lol:
I dont know whats going on in your life and I just want you to know that I miss you here and I hope that what-ever it is gets better for you..I wish I could help in some way.. Yes we are all family in here and that wont change.. I wish that things could be like before..where everyone was here to say hi everyday....I believe we all need the support of each other...its so important....Please dont take that wrong Donna..I am not trying to single you out or anything like that... I do understand....We all have things going on in our lives and it can be hard to post everyday... I guess I just miss everyone and the way it use to be...... I wish you would start number 5 thread..as I dont know how to do it..I havent ever did it and I dont want to miss up anything :lol:.you know me and the computer :lol:
I am sure no one would mind..and if that is stopping Daphne from getting in here it needs to be done ASAP..right.... please know that I am not saying anything about you not posting as much..there are alot of people missing alot from this thread....I just miss everyone...... I remember you talking about people not posting along time ago....It was last year I think..
Alot was going on in here.....Do you remember??
You were sad that it seemed that everyone was losing interest in our thread and not posting very often....I remember because I thought..she is right I need to try to get in here more...to say hi and see how everyone is doing...and also for the reason I came here in the first place... To get support and help with losing my weight..I got more than I bargin for.. I got the support and caring and best friends I could ever have...in that I am so blessed...so you see its hard to say I wont miss you in here and everyone else too..but believe me I do understand that things can be hetic at home and its hard to post everyday...Sorry If I got long winded..I didnt mean too..
Do you have any Birthday Plans????
Hope that you day is good..:love: :wave:

Kris.. Good to hear from you.. What have you been doing??
Hope that your day is good :love: :wave:

Dana.....Daphne....I hope that you both will be back in here soon..
I hope that Donna will start a new thread for us..and if thats been a problem it will fix it.. I miss you all...Have a good day :love: :wave:

I'm crying here as I read Summer and Rosey's posts. My I sure know how to upset people don't I? In no way am I abandoning you all. I just can't be considered as an active part of this thread any more. I have noticed it's been coming to this little by little. Maybe we need a revival? I just have found dealing with the guilt and stress of not being able to focus my time on this site for some time and besides always having to apologize that I haven't posted all the time and trying to 'catch up' with you all and ultimately ending up leaving some one out because of my mind that is over-crowded with all that I have to do, I need to cut myself off for a while. I have found that journaling works best for me because I do not have that pressure of keeping up with everyone although my nature is that I want to but it kills me that I can't any more. Rosey, you and Summer have been so faithful and you both deserve better. I only suggested starting a number 5 because of the problems Daphne is encountering, it may or may not help her. You may keep this until 3fc asks you to close it for being too long. I think that Rosey and Dana as well as Kris know how to start a new thread. I wish you all the best and I will keep in touch. I am going to have to unsubscribe though so please don't take this personally. Please keep me on your personal email address book as I will yours. [email protected]
Love to you all!
:love:
Donna

Hey everyone.. am so sorry donna.. i truly aplogize if i made you feel that way..didnt know you felt so much guilt and certainly dont want you to feel that way.. :?: i just wanted to relate how i feel..no pressure for anyone..now im sorry i said anything :?: hope everything goes well for you and yours((((((hugs)))))) from a very sad :( rosey Ps good luck on your weight loss journey after all thats what we are really here for!!

Hello Everyone......

Donna..

I am so sorry that I made you cry.. Believe me that was never my intention.. I am sorry that you feel you have to leave this thread.. I really cant understand why you feel guilty about anything.. You havent did anything to feel gulity about....I dont think anyone here aways needed you to apologize for being busy...It was always so sweet of you to apologize and we all understood...but in no way did anyone think you had to do that...
We all understand that things were really hetic in your life... and I guess they still are. I know its tough to make time to come in here when you are busy with your family and all...Thats so understandable...We all know how that is...Each of us know its hard to make time to come in here..
I am truly sorry that I have made you upset in anyway...
Thats not what I was trying to do at all..
I just had to say how I was feeling and I also knew that Rosey felt that way..How could she not.. Its hard to come in here and No one be here sometimes day after day... I truly felt really bad when I would read a post from her saying."Its lonely in here".. I know how that feels...
Its very lonely in here at times.. I know cause I have been there...
I dont know whats happen in your life and what ever it is..I sure hope it gets better for you.. We all Love You and Miss You Donna...
I sure hope that you will reconsider leaving..
We all need each other.. Just like Rosey said.
Thats what this thread is all about....Caring...Sharing.. Support and Love and Friendship...Thats why we came here in the first place..
Like I said before....You and all the other wonderful people in here are the best friends anyone can have.....I feel truly blessed with all our "Little Family" in here...I really dont know what else to say other than.....
I Love You and I hope that you know how important you are to all of us in here...If you really feel that you must go.. there is little I can do other than wish you well and hope you will change your mind...
I hope that you will understand what I was trying to say and not be upset.....Dear Little Sister.... I am with Rosey.. I wish now I would have not said anything... I feel so bad...Again I am so sorry Donna....

Hey everyone..(((((((hugs)))))) summer am sorry you feel sad too..i talked to donna thru e-mail and understand where she is coming from and respect her feelings.. we did nothing wrong.. and i wish her all the best with an open door and heart..now about us here.. yes we need each other ..i need the support to help me stay on track so i will not give up..i even exercised at home today and i must say i am still so sore..to bad there wasnt a magic pill..anything worth having is hard work tho right..a friend brought me fresh tomotoes and cukes from her garden..i forgot how good they are from store bought produce.. that was supper with a small hamburger patty grilled in the geroge foreman..im still hungry :( ..the dh left for the cabin again and its quiet around here again :lol: ((((((((hugs))))))) for all rosey :wave:

(((((Roomies))))) Ok I have to say that you all are the best friends I have had. I love each and ever one of you and my door is open to any of you if you are ever down this way. I understand what Donna is saying and Girlfriend I will miss seeing your humor here but I can read your journal and get my fix. I also can im with you when we are both on! Donna you need to do what ever it is to take care of yourself and feeling guilty is not the way to have to feel. I was ready to not come back being as I feel like I have been gone so much and left Rosey to steer the ship all alone. LOL I am glad I re read that being as I had a t at the end of ship and not a p.:lol:
My kids start school Wednesday. AMEN. I have decided to not worry about what I am eatting until then. My weight is the hightest it has been ever in my life. I will start out with walking each day when Robert leaves on the bus. I plan on walking rain or shine. I did so well when i did that last time. I will also be watching what I eat. I am going to tell hubby that I want a membership to Curves. I was going to do the YMCA but I am not comfortable working out in front of men.When I was 16 and had a body I loved it. Now I have 2 bodies!:lol: Does that mean I would get twice the attention?:lol: I will stop the soda and start back on water. I will post at least once a day here so I can be caught up and not feel *guilty*. I am going to use fitday again for food journaling and the Diary site here for daily chat to myself! I am excited when I think about it. Or I am just excited to get rid of the kids for a few hours.:lol::shrug:
I will post later today but have to go and feed Megan. Oh I was going to ask the ladies Deborah, Gayle and Ann from mine and Danas other thread to join us here. They really are a great group and I have known then for 3 or 4 years now here. I think we would all have fun getting to know each other thru them.
Dana I miss you and am worried about you. Rosey I want to thank you for all your dedication to the thread and being such a positive person. Summer you are the most up beat happy thankful cheery swetest person I have ever know, and Donna I love you, you and I share so much in common with our families it is scary. I am here for you when ever you need to talk. Do not feel bad about taking care of yourself for a change. That is what we all want to be able to do. We are friends and will be happy knowing that you are feeling better, less stressed, and happy. Kris where is the next trip to? Glen how have you been doing?
Daphne
