Hi, Found you all, Rita, I know you are having a tough time,I have a girlfriend who's birthday is tomorrow and it would have been her son's also but he died unexpectedly at age 38 a year ago. Her depression is palpable and there is so little anyone can do to make it better.
Bonnie, Hope the pup came thru surgery well. Will you have to wait for a biopsy report? It's tough when they get old and things start to happen. I have 3 going in in Nov to have their teeth done. I hate the thought of the anesthesia but the teeth need to be done and their breath is horrible. We are tuning them up before we leave for Fla. It's less expensive to have all this done in Pa as it's so expensive here in Jersey.
Had a stressful day today dealing with an elderly aunt in Fla who is receiving hospice care in her home. Seems like she had a heart attack today and the decisions that we were making and the phone calls back and forth have maade it a very long day. Tonite she actually was feeling better but her survival is a day to day thing.
Good nite all- Hope the week-end is better for us all. Bernice

Off work tommorrow so I will be walking and NOT EATING! Linda

Good point Bonnie, I've accomplished nothing and am disgusted with myself. Was eating out of the fridge at 2 this AM. Today however is a new day and I will redouble my efforts to get on track, don't like how I look or feel. Thanks for reminding us all why we post here. Gratefully your, Bernice

Good Afternoon Ladies:) hope that everyone is having a great monday glad to see that Bonnie and Bernice have posted already I think that we all need to get ourselves motivated at times and need to review with what our accomplishments are going to be right now I am at that 150 mark and staying there for a few days but that is ok for me at least not going forward as I was !!!!!!Bernice since I work nites seems like I am always looking in the fridge on something to eat:lol:I know that we have to commit ourselves but when the other stress happens it is really hard so like Bernice to day is a new day And I am going to start taking them baby steps for me as that works best for me one goal a dayand stick with it did my share of walking last nite at work so am going to ride my bike as it will save my feet for tonite Linda congrats on being a gradma!!!!!!!!well the rest of you ladies have a good one and Bonnie once you get in gear you will loose that extra you gained!!!!!!!!!Rita:tread:

Hello again everyone. Bonnie you are right. Reality chk time. When I started I was 193 and now, still 170. When I think about what I could have been down too. Well.... nobody shoves that food in my mouth!! Still waiting on news about when my new grandaughter will be arriving. Should know more on Fri. What makes us eat? Hmmm, working in the addictions field should give some insight but nothing is happening in my head right now!! Anxiety, worry, grief and pain all of those things prompt me to look for comfort foods. Anybody else have some insight? Bonnie, you are right. NO MORE COOKIES FOR ME. Linda

Bonnie and everyone else! Thank you so much for helping with the motivation! Ok, I am going to go walking today before I go to work. Let me think about goals hmmm. Hopefully "the kids" my daughter and son-in-law and God willing! my 2 grandaughters! will be coming to NC for the babys baptism in Jan 2005. Thats a good motivator right? That might be about 10 weeks from now. So... I will aim for between...6-8 lbs. Thats (for me) realistic during the holiday season. Especially since one of my co-workers loves to bake. I will be working all the holidays to save time for when my family comes. OK, enough about me.... How about everybody else??? Linda (I forget how to do the faces and stuff)

Hi
I haven't given up on the group. I was on vacation. Trying to catch up with everything at work. Found out we moved (the group) and skimmed through postings I missed. So sorry for everyone's health problems.

I overate, of course, so I am trying desperately to get back on track. Having a hard time of it.

Let's see, we have only 8 weeks until Dec. 22. I would love to lose at least 8 pounds by then.

Catch you later. suzq

GREAT JOB..... I am more or less back on track now. Decided to go on treadmill when I got home from work and started dinner, and wouldn't you know it, it was broken! It's only 2 years old and they want $100.00 service charge to come out. Boy that makes me mad. Oh well..... You all have a great weekend. Talk to you on Monday. suzq

Hello well not doing to good but trying hard had a pretty good week but I have to lose what I put on Halloween was going one day but boy it takes a week to to get over the Cho I am going to have 10 lbs off for Christmas some way ....... well you guys keep it going Jean

Bonnie, I hear you and I'm here. We bought a laptop and when I'm on that one I'm not able to post and the desktop is so screwed up yet that I hate to play with it. We went to a local museum here the other day and they had a display of Judith Lieber handbags. They are the ones in crystals and jewels and in shapes of animals. Gorgeous,very very expensive and true artwork. Loved them. Hubby says he's going to get me one. We'll see. Brushed one of the dogs and picked up her ear to see a smelly yucky yeasty ear infection so we made an unscheduled visit to the vet and now have more medication to dispense. Spent the afternoon with my grandson and he was delicious. So good.Three years old is just great cause you can do stuff with them and he is now alot of fun to be with especially without his parents. Really tired today as last night went to see my friend in a play. She live in a 55+ community and her NEW yORK cLUB PUT ON THIS PLAY AND IT WAS LOTS OF FUN. Sorry for the caps,hit the wrong key. Anyway I brought the rising Star roses and she was delighted. Got to end now, so tired, hope I sleep tonight as I usually wake up cause it's hot,or I'm uncomfortable or the dogs are all over me etc. Catch ya all later, Bernice

Hi, I'm back from Fla after cleaning up after someone elses life and it wasn't pleasant. We even sold the apt right away. The weather was lovely tho and I can't wait to go back in 2 weeks. Have to go back on program tomorrow and get serious. Tired so I'll catch ya all later. Nite. Bernice

Hi Everyone,
Bonnie you ask about my dieting? What dieting? I am so out of control it's not even funny. Can't seem to get a grip. We are on a countdown till we leave for Fla and have a thousand things to do. Tomorrow I go to my grandson's preschool to celebrate Thanksgiving. It's nice to live near the kids and participate in things like this. They are all making reservations to come to Fla this winter. I'm so glad I'm not doing the holiday cooking and the one we are visiting is a lousy cook so no chance of overeating ,just a long ride in a lot of traffic. I'm packing clothes in those space bags and when they zipper and you can vacuum out the air, they are great but they don't always zipper and seal. Got to go. Have a great Holiday grls. Bernice

Can't believe we died out,no one's posted in along time. I haven't had access to a computer till now and we are back in Venice. Bonnie,Where have you gone? aRE YOU ON ANOTHER THREAD? If there is still interest let me know. Bernice
