Hello Everyone,

I just wanted to stop in to tell everyone Hi.
I am writing with a very heavy heart today. Thank you for all the prayers and concerns.

As soon as my mom gets off work, I am gonna pack up my kids and bring them to her...

Michelle (dh's little cousin) is not doing well at all... The venilator is just about doing all the work for her now and she is barely breathing on her own. Her lungs are filled with fluid and each time that try to drain them they fill up even faster than before... :(

So dh and I are headed to Baton Rouge tonight to be with our family.

Please say a pray for our family.... I know this is going to be a very ruff night tonight.

We went through this five years ago when Hubby's brother was killed at work at the age of 27.... We have a strong bonded family and I know we will comfort each other... But it is still just so hard!

Love to you all!

Your ideal weight range--106 - 116.6 lbs. (48 - 53 kg.) --is based on a formula that
calculates what is a healthy weight for most people of your height (60 inches) and frame size (medium).


This is what mine says. I was aiming for 120lbs. I used to want to be 115lbs but I thought it was an unrealistic goal for me since I am older now. I would love to be 115 pounds again!!

Penny, I am soo sorry to hear of this but I am still praying really hard for her!! Your family sounds just like my family. We are very close too. I will continue to pray for you and your family as well.

Penny I'm so sorry to hear things haven't gotten better. I will say a prayer for her and your family today.

Jeniqua I meant to also say earlier that I can notice a real difference in your pics!! You are doing so great, now if you could only eat! lol I hope your tooth heals fast and I hope your son is doing better too. Hang in there girl!! Oh and WTG on the 2 miles that you ran! You are nuts! lol

Ok need to get the school so I can volunteer. Will be back later!

Hey girls!

Penny I want you to know that I am still praying for your family and tonight I will light a candle for dh's cousin :( along with the other children/people I light candles for. If anyone wants to join please light a candle at 6pm your time and stop and say a prayer for Penny's family, we'll have our own little candlelight vigil for her. Oh gosh I'm crying now :( I just hate this...

Okay I'm only up .5 lbs from last weeks weigh in so I'm going to be really careful and watch what I eat the rest of the week. Today so far I have had my multivitamin and a genisoy protein shake with skim milk and half a banana.

Jill I get the bloat about 2 weeks prior to TOM too but then once TOM comes I drop like 3 lbs overnight lol. Just remember that even though you are doing SBD portions still count and weight loss boils down to calories in and calories out :D I'm sure you don't overeat but some plans just seem so liberal and lead the person to believe that they can eat as much as they want of certain foods. ya know?

Jeniqua I'm doin great girly thanks for asking :D No more dizzy spells since I've been eating something later at night. I have been eating an applesauce cup before bed and that seems to help, but I make sure it's all natural applesauce.

Okay girls I gotta go take my test, I had to go get some groceries and now that I'm back I've got to take care of my school stuff :D

Have a good afternoon!
Michelle

Oh yeah, I did 30 minutes on the gazelle so far today.

Michelle, I will gladly join you at 6pm EST here and light a candle for Penny's hubby's cousin. I can't stand to think of losing a 15 year old child - my son, Sean, is 15 and is just beginning to come into his own. Penny, I'm praying for you guys.

Jeniqua - Sorry your tooth is bothering you today. I bet you can't wait until Wednesday when you have it pulled, right?

We must all be coming into TOM at the same time. Well, for me, it's like every 3 freaking weeks. It's very annoying.

Roxy - are you nursing the little one? (LOL, Jeremy used to call it "num nums" too, I nursed him until he was 2) Does that make it hard for you to diet? I remember feeling famished a lot of the time when I was nursing.

I did that weight thing and I think it said 150-160. I have a very large frame. My goal weight is 180, and I know it sounds high, but I really do look good at that weight. I may go down some after that if I feel like I want to, but that is my goal for now. I'm a very muscular and large boned person.

Well, not to brag or to take away from what everyone is going through, but I am down 2 lbs this week. I changed my signature.

I may be BBL.

Candle Lighting And Prayers For Penny's Family
 

Penny, I'm so sorry about dh's and your cousin. I will light a candle as well. 6pm. Oh my heart and prayers go out to you all. I think also, that we should have an evening of silence and not post after the candles are lit. Michelle that est or mountain time?

Jill, sorry you are upset today. Don't worry, I bet you will be down, tomorrow. I know how you feel believe me!!

Jenny, sorry your tooth is hurting AGAIN! Darn thing.

Penny my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. What a tragic situation. I'm praying that the God of all comforts holds yall close. May you be strengthened to handle whatever comes. ((((hugs))))

Hello to all you other lovely ladies too. I'm sorry I've been just posting fly by stuff. Know that I'm checking in and keeping up with yall.

Oh that drkoop site said I was 98.8 lbs overweight...*sigh* Lots of work, but even though pregnant and I can't ''diet'' I have been feeling such motivation for eating better and exercise lately. I've been walking a mile and a half at the park each night.

Ok...hubby is on his way home, gotta be ready to leave when he gets here.

Have a nice Friday ladies. :)

I light this candle after the prayer for Penny, her husband, and their family as they go through this terrible hardship. Lord, give them the strength to face whatever they have to face this weekend. Amen.
