Hey ladies...how is everyone doing...much better here than the past few days. I am still learning everyone but I wanted to say something to goofyfrl...someone told me on here and it may have been you...dont beat yourself up when you dont meat a goal...get up and try again. It doesnt matter how many times we fail in our eyes...as long as we keep trying...the fact that we are here proves we will succeed. but the cleaver thing i wanted to share was....all the times we failied was just practice for the time we will succeed. Practice makes perfect. We are here for and we understand...

Hope to talk to more of you soon.
Lori

sorry that is meet a goal not meat a goal...no food pun intended. lol

wow there two more in there....i guess i better spell check better. lol

Regina,,,I am trying to stay out of the rut,,,,but I know I am one step away. I hate that feeling of no control....hanging on by a thin thread...

Amanda Mae,,,what is it you do? I brought home the makings for 9 turbins,,,made one during work,,,between calls. I have a bit of sewing for another theatre company,,,I guess their seamstress bailed on them last minute...yikes!

Cassyyyyyy so what injections? I called the new Dr Office,,,4-5 month waiting period...*sigh

well need sleep,,,night all

Boy it has been a really long time since I have been on and lots has happened and some new people. Welcome!

Easter went pretty good and the food thing was ok. I did gain 2 lbs but I am ok with that. I had pie and chocolate and did not really exercise much so it was a learning experience.

We had a death in the family so I have had the in-laws her for over a week. Why does it take a funeral to bring families togeather? Never a happy occasion like a family reunion. I weighed in before heading out of town to the funeral and I was down the 2 i gained so I was really happy about that. I went to curve and weighed/measured and so far I have lost 11 lbs and 9 inches. I was very excited about that too.

You know this weight thing is totally a life change. It is so hard sometimes to stay on track and follow the plan and goals I set up for myself. However I did reach a few no numeric goals. I was not going to weigh myself at home anymore and I put away my scale. It is still in the closet where it will remain. AT weight watchers you get the card where they track your weight each week and I decided I was going to make sure I made it to the next card. I have always quit before then and did not follow thru. I got my new card last week!!! My mother in law says she is amazed at how good I look since she was here at christmas & it is nice to hear that someone has noticed a difference.

Amanda-Mae: You go girl!! Before long you will be at your goal weight and dancing in the stands at your country concert.

Angie: Go Wings NOT!!! OILERS ALL THE WAY!!!!! Just kidding. What DR are you talking about? Is this a special DR for weight loss? Is it like DR Bernstiens clinic? I know a few people who went there.

Regina: Don't stress on the excersise (or lack of). You know what you only make youself feel bad and that just starts a vicious circle of bad feelings, eating, eating more.....feeling worse and then you just sabatoge yourself. You know a good way to think about some of these things that we do or don't do?? If you have a dozen eggs and drop one.....are you going to keep throwing down eggs one by one till they are all gone? Of course not. You stop and carry on with what you are doing. WEight loss is like that same concept. Tomorrow is a NEW day. Start again. Don't keep on with the "bad" stuff. So you dropped the ball one day you know what we are all human! The longer it takes to reach our goals the more we are learning on the journey to getting health and feeling GREAT! And you are GREAT!!! You have done well so far!! Give yourself a bow!!!!

Long winded. How can you tell I never really get onto the computer till after everyone in the house is in bed.

Welcolme back sandy...I am new while you were away...Sorry about your loss and it is frustrating that tradegy seems like only way to bring family together. Stay strong and congrats on getting your new card at ww. that is awsome..Hope to talk to you and the others soon.. have a great week ladies...

Good Morning Sistas,

First off let me say thanks for all the support thus far. This week I am taking a breather from WW as TOM is due to arrive...nice Anyway over the weekend I had a pow wow with myself and decided I was not going to let my slump pull me down. I am gonna continue doing this and not give myself deadlines to have this weight off. I am just going to take it off day by day and focus on the good rather than the bad. Plus I bought me some clothes that are not in the Letter sizes and I want to be able to wear them and not look at them in my closet this summer. So I cannot afford to eat a bunch of crap. Do you ladies ever get to the point where you hate eating all together? I went out to eat last night and had a hamburger and fries from Ruby Tuesday. The whole time I was there I was wanting the salad bar but was bored eating lettuce, when I got my burger I told myself I should've got the salad bar as I probably would've enjoyed it a little bit more. I am just bored with everything that is out there in regards to food. Hope everyone had a great weekend. I will talk with you all later on.

Amanda Mae, there are some funky clips you can buy and then get a nice sheet...lol And then you have curtains...lol

Ive rushed tonight,,,Tanner needs the puter for homework,,,

The sheet thing is great - especially for kids rooms. We had Ninja Turtles on the beds and hung matching top sheets in the windows when the boys were younger. We moved recently & I'm tempted to get them back out just to embarass them - they are 16 & 17 now!
The first of 25 grandchildren is getting married in the fall & I'm determined not to be the fatty in the family picture, lots of time so not too much pressure. I can't set the goals or the only thing on my mind is food and I want to eat all of the time!
Lots of hockey talk - what about last weekends football draft? Go Redskins!!

Good evening ladies,

Cassy,,,,we lost! *sniff Wings ....
So how are you doing feeling good?

Amanda Mae, you are doing so fantastic,,should be very happy.

This past few weeks I have not felt totally control...and have done everything I can think of to get back on track...without success. Now I am feeling that I don't have so much on plate so perhaps I can focus on just the eating,,,possibly doing some walking...more time means well I can actually exercise,,,vicious cycle I know,,,gotta make time,,,but if your tired all the time its hard to go exercise,,ya just want to veg out. So now, hoping I can do exactly that,,,go for a walk each night,,,take Miss Skittles with me.
Today was brutally cold,,,went to a house auction,,,well actually 22 houses all together,,,and it was COLD. My cheeks have wind burn on it,,,red and sore. I texted my friend Becky half way through the ordeal (call it that since I didn't get to buy a house...grrr) I told her that my butt was jiggling,,,and I was standing still. That means I was so cold that I couldn't stop shivering/shaking. Can I count that as a workout?
Eating would of been ok if I didn't wolf down a donut,,duh Need to have more control. I have a 4-5 month wait till I see Dr. McKenna. Don't want to be any bigger then I already am. Would be nicer to be 20 lbs lighter.

Anyways feeling like I needed to get that off my chess..

Hello Everyone!!!! SOOO SORRY THAT I HAVE BEEN GONE SO LONG, I MISS MY SISTA'S!!!

WELL I HAVE BEEN OK LATELY. I HAVE MY MONTHLY VISITOR AND I AM SO SENSITIVE ABOUT EVERYTHING. I CAME IN TO WORK AND WANTED TO CRY AS SOON AS I CAME IN!! FOR NO DARN REASON!! I AM A GOOF BALL! SO OF COURSE THAT TRANSLATES TO HOW I AM FEELING ABOUT MY APPERANCE. THERE HAS GOT TO BE SOME DRUG OUT THERE THAT WILL STABILIZE ME WHEN I GET LIKE THIS. I DONT EVEN KNOW WHAT IT IS WHEN IT COMES ON WHICH IS THE WORST PART ABOUT IT. I WILL BE FINE AFTER NEXT WEEK I DID FORCE MYSELF TO WORKOUT FOR THE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS. I AM STARTING TO OBSESS OVER IT NOW. WHICH IS GOOD AND BAD I GUESS. I FEEL SO AGGREVATED SOMETIMES OVER THE SMALLEST THINGS. I AM TRYING TO STAY POSITIVE BUT IT IS DIFFICULT DURING THIS TIME.. PRAY FOR ME SISTA'S!!!

HEY AMANDA..I AM SOO PROUD OF YOU GIRL!! YOU ARE MY IDOL! MESOTHERAPY IS A SERIES OF INJECTIONS TO THE AREAS THAT YOU WANT THE FAT TO BE REMOVED FROM. OVER TIME THE FAT DISSOLVES AND IT HAS THE EFFECT OF LIPOSUCTION. THERE IS SOME BRUISING INVOLVED AND ITCHING I AM TOLD BUT IT DOES WORK. IT IS ABOUT 200 AN SESSION. YOU NEED TO HAVE ABOUT 5 TO HAVE THE RESULT YOU WANT.

ANGIE.. I AM SO SAD THAT WE LOST, BUT WE WILL TRY AGAIN NEXT YEAR. NOW IT IS GO! PISTONS!! MAN 4MTHS TILL YOU SEE THAT DOCTOR!! THAT SUCKS.

REGINA.. I HOPE ALL IS WELL WITH YA SUGA.

Must not be too many football fans out there - only hockey fanatics!
Some are doing WW by joining and going to meetings, others doin it on their own. Not having to be accoutable to the weigh-in lady once a week, are the do-it-yourselfers having any success? Want to join, but would rather save the money - problem is NO WILL POWER!
