Hi everyone,
It looks like things are happening for our group. It is great to see so many posting. I am a happy camper about that.
My friend and former sister in law is doing much better, she is off the ventilator and breathing on her own now. She is coming along, they are not sure what damage there is to her left side from the stroke. But the doctors say she will probably reguire like 6 or 8 months of therapy. But she works at the Akron Police Station in the equiptment room and will be off work for quite awhile. But you know the great thing? So many people who work there as police officers as well as in the office, are all donating some of their vacation days to give to her and she has so far enough leave donated to be off like up to a year, so that is the amazing thing. How wonderful that so many people are giving up their time off, so she won't have to quit her job and have no money coming in while she is out of work.Please keep the prayers coming everyone, they sure help. Thanks everyone for asking and caring.
Carol-Sorry about your cold, I am sure it will go away and it probably will have to just run it's course. I too hate the coughing part you get after you have a cold, and being up sometimes some of the night. Hope by now you are feeling much much better and getting back to where you were before.

I know you will get back on track with your program, it is hard when you are sick to follow any plan. Just take one day at a time and you will get there.
mel/allensmom-70 degrees is not bad considering how cold it is here in Indiana. Don't beat yourself over your gain, I too have such a hard time when we travel. Eating out usually kills me, but I try to make healthy choices, but sometimes if we eat out enough, I will get off track, but when I get back home and to my old routine, try to get right back to doing what I did before and the weight usually comes off. Glad you had a great time in AZ.
DebbieA-Good job on you and Sherry only have small tastes of the funnel cake. You know what they say "Nothing taste as good as the 1st taste, or well maybe the 2nd or so too". I would be with you guys and have to try some, I feel like why deprive yourself and if you can just have some of it and share it than why not? I am proud of you and Sher for resisting the temptation. WAY TO GO!
Sherry-H & R Block is not busy as yet, but will be by the end of the month when the employers are required to send everyone's W-2's to them. Than it will be busy busy busy. I CAN WAIT! Believe me! LOL Gosh Sher bear, you are doing so well with your weight loss. I am impressed, keep it up. YOU CAN DO THIS!
gonnabe/Stacie-That is great how many inches you have lost. Wow 14 inches lost are great. I'll bet you clothes fit so much better, but with this many inches lost I would say you have some new clothes by now. You are doing great.
CJ-Yes I am, like you determined to make my weight loss this year. Let's do this and put our whole heart and soul into it. I am tired of staying the same and am so determined to make this the year that I do this. We can all do this Wannabee's I just know it. We can celebrate when it finally happens with our buttershots OK? Good job on winning that $600, I know you were happy when that happened. Yes, put it away when you need something or like you said, when you want a trip to the casino, than you already have your gambling money free and clear.
gonnaloseit/Dee-That is a great plan, just eating healthy, cause that is what I do now. I know if we just eat healthier the rest will follow and think how much healthier we will be too? You have done so well with your weight loss, congratulations to you for all your hard work.
Well I have been doing well and went to WW this morning and lost another 1.5 pounds and am happy about that. WE ARE ALL ON OUR WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love you, Sharon
