Default Hi Everyone

It has been a very long time for me posting. I just wanted to say thank you very much for the ones who have kept in touch with me and supported me when i needed it the most. I know that I have not really responded but I guess that is just because I am so depressed that I have gained this weight back. I am back on track again for week three and it is harded than ever! I need support so much and I hope ... I KNOW I am back to stay. I will try to post daily and will do everything I can to support everyone just like I have always been supported! For the ones that I don't know, I hope to do that soon!

Default Welcome Back!

It is good to have you back and we are glad to have you back on track.

I know what a struggle it can be sometimes, but it is a mind-set thing and you can do it!!!

Our program tonight was given by a girl that has been 4 pounds from goal about 5 times and something happens to get her off track. She showed us all the charms she has won over the years and told how she had worked to get them, but charms weren't enough to keep her going. She said some times she forgot that what she wanted most was more important than what she wanted for the moment.

One of our chapter members has lost 112 pounds and she said back in 2000 she named the year 2001 to be her year. She figured out what she would have to lose in 2000 and then in 2001. She reached KOPS status in November of 2001.

I know you will be successful in your weight loss journey! The idea is just to keep focused. I know it is hard to do, I am a backsliding KOPS, but I am choosing the year 2002 to be my year.

This is such a good site for support. Please keep in touch and you will alway find the caring and understanding you need to keep you on the right track.

Tops friend,
Mickey

Hi, missed you so much. I was so glad to see you posted. You can do this. I know you can. One day at a time. That's all any of us can do. I often wonder and pray what do the people that suceed have that I don't have. More organization skills, more planning skills, what? The only real answer that I keep coming back to is total determination. I really feel that we have it, but we sometimes put it aside for a little while. I've heard people say if you want it bad enough you can get it. Even Dr. Phil on Oprah has said that. I feel if we didn't have it, we wouldn't keep coming back, after we've gone off for 1 meal or 1 year. We want it. We just have to want it badly all the time. I speaking for me. I recently bought a bag of easter m&m's, about a week ago. Ate them (hubby helped). I like the candy. Well, this week bought another bag. However, I knew that if I didn't sperate them, I wouldn't be aware of how much I was eating. I put them in single servings. 4.5 pts. That was on Tuesday. I've only had 1.75 bags. The other bag I bought was gone in about 2 days. This one has already out lasted. The other thing about it is, when I pull out that bag, I'm consience of what I'm eating, how much I'm eating, is it worth it, and do I really want it. I've even put a bag back, because it wasn't worth it. So you see Penny. Each step you take gets you one step closer. No matter how far you have to go, how long it will take you, no matter if you fall, just dust yourself off, and look up, chin up. And realize you are worth it. I want Oprah to teach me to cook and all that. Maybe I can have all her personals for a week. You know the personal Chelf, doctors, trainer, ect. Ok, maybe I need them for a month.
Any way, so glad you are back

Hi Mompen
You just took the first step of getting back on track. With all the support you get here. You will be to goal before you know it. I am glad that I found this site. In fact. I was just a lurker for a long time. Then finally got the nerve to start posting. Boy am I glad that I did. The girls here are wonderful. I get more support here then I do in my TOPS chapter.
Welcome Back.
