I think i found a thread i had tried to get in on before and then lost it. Sounds like ya'll have a great group going here and really don't want to intrude, but i am finally getting on track and need the support to keep going. I am doing a version of sugarbusters and have been doing well so far. Also just got sinus infection and bronchitis and have had to back off any exercise or increased activity until i get a grip on this. Also doc gave me steriod injection which always makes me want to pig out on anything i can find. well, feeling the need to crash on the bed again and have to do some paper work before i do so will have to run. hope you ladies have a fantastic day and keep up your good work and loving support!

Good Morning Ladies

For some reason I am in a great mood this morning. I had a terrible nights sleep, woke up at 1 and didnt go back to sleep till about 3:30, but when I woke up with the alarm I was in such a good mood.

We are supposed to have some rain today YEAH. We are around 20 inches behind in rain since the middle of last year. Over the winter we battled wild fires every other day with no snow rain or any moister. It hasent really rained in months and months. Today we have a 100% chance for 3-4 inches by tomorrow night.

Cassie, Welcom back, and its nice to meet you. I am one of the newer chicks in this thread and totally love it here. Great Pic's.

Elem-PGF, This is a great thread, with lots of support. Welcome.

Well ladies gotta get to work. Have a great day, I will check in later.

Good Morning Girls ~ Today is another absolutely beautiful morning and it's suppose to get up to about 80.

ELEM-PGF ~ Welcome to the group! I'm also pretty new to this group, but they are such a nice supporting group of ladies! Those steroid shots can be so hard on a body! My dad has had to receive 4 of them so far, and with each shot, he has put on 10 pounds, just since December! I feel for you!

Robbin ~ I'm glad you're having a happy day and hey, it's Friday...YAY!

Cheryl ~ I'm a little worried about you and praying for you and your family.

I hope everyone is enjoying your day and I'll talk with ya later...

Hi Gang . . .you may have noticed that I was up pretty early this morning, just a little middle of the night "diabetic hypo". Anyway I ate an orange and went back to bed. My day is now all out of synch. Ate breakfast (or the rest of it) at 11:00. It's now almost 2:00 and I'm drinking water instead of finishing lunch. Whatever, shift I'm on . . . the sun is shining, and I'm in a pretty good mood.

Welcome back, Dragon, we missed you. A 5 lb gain's not too bad and it will be gone again really quickly now that you are back on track. Don't forget to vote in the Name Game.

Your vote has been recorded, Robbin. Isn't it great when you wake up feeling so good. Enjoy the rain. If you don't get enough, just let me know, I'm sure we will have some to spare again soon. After all, it's still spring in Nova Scotia.

Welcome back, Cassie, we missed you, too. The pictures are gorgeous. Glad your Easter weather was so good. Ours was terrible. Unfortunately, we still haven't heard from Paula. Don't forget to vote in the Name Game.

Your vote has been recorded, Michelle. I have a couple of WATP tapes, too. I didn't know she had a web-site. I'll have to take a look. What's it called? How about posting a link?

Wow, Tina, great job practicing the "Liza Line". Thanks for the info on Skinny Cow, I've never noticed them at my Superstore, but I'll certainly check harder next time I'm there. Don't forget to vote in the Name Game.

Your vote has been recorded, Elem, and Welcome to our Group (whatever we may be calling ourselves by next month). We are thrilled to have you with us and hope you will enjoy travelling the great 'downward' road with us. It's a long trip but it can be fun.

Okay, buddies . . . have a great day moving and shaking on the great downward journey. See you later, gators.

(A) . . . LIGHTEN THE LOAD

hi gals,
we had a fab day at the adventure park yesterday, food there was pretty rubbish, they were out of diet cokes so had to have a full calorie one yukky and theres millions of cals in a can, lunch was hotdog, had tea and chocolate covered flapjack yum! so didnt do too badly really- could have been a lot worse lol. and i walked around the place all day so am sure must have burned off some cals cos me legs were aching. watching other mums running around with their kids and jumping about acting silly on play equipment and rides made me sad but more determined than ever to do this. I WILL LOSE WEIGHT AND I WILL BE A BETTER MUM. oh yeah and its tom so am feeling all tired and emotional, and with it being that time i probably wont be very happy with scale results this week but hopefully it wont throw me off.

Welcome Elam.

I haven't posted in a few days. I don't remember if I posted about how badly my ankle had been bothering me. Of course all this starts as soon as I say that I am going to start exercising again. So anyway, the pain was becoming unbearable and I was starting to think that I must have fractured it. Well, I went to the ER and they are saying that they think it is arthritis. I have to go to my regular doc so that they can run tests and come with the official prognosis though. I have been hobbling along on a cane and that is so not cute. I am not looking forward the prospect of a life of pain.

So this is more anything is going to get me off my butt and get this weight off. Arthritis doesn't go away but all this extra weight sure doesn't help especially since it is in my ankle. There have been more than a few times when my ankle has gone out on me and I've almost fallen. Oh joy!

Cassie, just had to add that your kids are absolutely beautiful.

LIZA . . . Just keep remembering all the good reasons why you are on this journey and you will get through it all.

TRACEY . . . I've got arthritis and it really bothers me in both the knees and ankles. Lately my right ankle just hurts for no reason at all. We've both got to remember that losing weight will make things a little easier.

Hey, girls . . . the NAME GAME needs your votes!!!!!! Don't forget!!!!!!!

Hey Michelle, it looks like we are tripping over each other today. Thanks for the link, I will go take a look.

I got my WATP tapes from Amazon.ca. We have to order C$39 to get the free shipping, but it's still worth it. Our dollar is over US$0.88 today and it would probably be cheaper to order books and stuff from Amazon.com except that Customs Canada tacks on so many extra charges before it'll let the package across the border.

Have a good one.
