Hi NBK, good to hear from you. You must be so psyched to have the boyfriend coming back. The gym?!?! Oh, well, at least it's physical!
Hmm. What's the scoop with the flatties? They been giving you a hard time?
Well, I'm in the office. Can't type. Just wanted to say hi and glad to hear you're in for some fun.
Later!

HI, Red. I am here. I just don't have any time to talk. My boss is on vacation, so everyone comes to me for what they would normally go to her for. I am major swamped and just haven't had time to write anything. Will try to catch up sometime, but it will probably be next week before I can write more than a line or two.

OK, shan, thanks for checking in. I was worried we'd lost you. Hope you get out from under all the work soon, well, when your boss is back. Be proud that you're the one everyone comes to. Keep eating well and try to get some exercise in though if you can! Good luck!

Hello eveyone... I know its been awhile since i have posted...Life has just been a rollercoster lately... the past couple of months have been crazy between my mom being sick and trying to break it off with an ex boyfriend..I stopped going to ww because of everything about 6 weeks ago.. I felt bad but my mom was getting sicker and sicker...Then when i was planning to go to another meeting my mom landed in the hospital..and was there for 2 weeks..12 of those days in icu.. then she past away..and just having to take care of the funeral arangements and taking care of my dad, and the house, and the animals..is just over whelming..But i finally went back today, because i made a promise to myself for my mother before she was diagnosed in december that i would lose weight..Now i feel bad because i have not kept that promise and promises are everything to me... But back to today.. after the meeting i was driving back to my parents home and i started crying..my mom death haven't hit me really because i have so much to do ... But when i first joined ww everytime after a meeting i would go to my parents house and talk to my mom and she would also ask me how things went and encourage me and congrats me when i lost weight... But when i was driving there today i started crying because it hit me she wasn't going to be there to do that for me.. I wouldn''t have her to talk to anymore about ww...So pretty much all day i have been down.. Then just realized i need to keep my promise, and even though it is going to be hard to go to the meetings again, but i figure it will get easier and easier as time goes and as i keep my promise... Anyways sorry to bring anyone down.. But i just had to get that off my chest.. I hope everyone is doing well... and hopefully i can catch with everyone progress...

Talk to you gals later

Michelle

Oh Michelle, My heart goes out to you. I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Good on you for going back to WW. I think the experience like you just mentioned, when you realise the person is NOT there to talk to again, is usually when their death hits you the hardest, not just at the time of death when most of the response is shock. Don't be ashamed of crying or asking for help/support. You can do this. You have us here to support you and talk to about your progress.. but not just with the weight, with everything. And don't forget, just like laughing, crying is a big energy burner!
Take care, you're in my thoughts
Love
Tiff

Michi, it's good to see you back. I am so sorry to hear of your loss. If you come in here and talk to us, we will post, or I will, so please do this for you AND your mother. I'm sorry I can't write now but I just wanted to welcome you back and wish you the best. You can do this! Let's work together!

NBK, heh there. I bet you're enjoying yourself, eh?

Hello?!?! Bumping the thread up here again. Isn't anyone interested in keeping this going again?

sorry.. just flat out at work (only place i have access) and am feeling a little apathetic at present.

Hi NBK, you're probably the only one awake around here now. I'm just up, had a bit of a sleep-in (for me, that is). Why are you feeling apathetic? In general, or toward the thread? It's not like there are many people posting. I guess these things happen, people lose motivation, momentum. It's strange, some threads are just full of people who chatter all day long, mostly housewives though. Well, do you think we should forget about this thread and maybe start a new one, or just hang around here and hope things pick up. I post on other threads too but really liked the bunch we had here. . . things OK with the boyfriend?

Bumping this up again!!
Shan, CG, NBK, michi, jazz, grass, stormy, anyone I forgot!! Come back!! Shane!!!!

This is for my mini goal:

Hi everyone. I am just checking in. The phone company (BOO SBC) shut off my dsl for $1.68 and took two days to turn my service back on. Now it keeps shutting on and off randomly. Mich, I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your mother. If you can try to get in a fifteen minute walk-- it will boost your spirits.We are all here to support you Sorry I have to go now, my Internet connection keeps turning off and on and it's really starting to piss me off...this is the third day. I am about to call tech support, I've done all that I can do on this end

Hi princess, hope you get that computer hookup working soon! I know how aggravating that can be!!

Talking to myself again here it looks like.

Action is crazy on the other threads!! We have already been relegated to the second page. No!!! Heh, guys, take a look at my weight tracker. Moving right along. . . .
