Hello

  • Went to bed early but couldn't sleep so here I am. We are taking our cat to vets in morning and I think that is on my mind. So got up for awhile. I finally had a good loss last night. 5.5# which is a great start. I went to a group hypnosis at a local hospital and it looks like it is helping. I have high hopes anyway. We had a lot of new members last night. Had to remind people to come early enough to get weighed in.We were late getting the meeting started. It will be interesting to see how many are still with us at end of year.This is our January rush time.
    We finally got the counter weight to work tonight. If you have regular doctors scales that only go to 350 please invest in the counter weight which lets you go up to 450. We never thought we would need it but we did and we din't have one.Luckily she was able to weigh at WW until we solved the problem We got a great discount because we are Tops.
    I am back exercising to Richard Simmons Sit tight tape.I ordered another sitting tape yesterday to alternate with. Because of heart and shoulder I hurt a few months back I haven't been doing anything. Heart about the same but shoulder is better.
    I got some great christmas pictures that I will post once I get them small enough.
    Ok just stopping by.
  • Congrats on the loss! That's awesome! I lost 2 this week. We also had 2 new people join us this week. Our group has been together for some time, so like you, I am curious to see if they stick it out with us! Keep up the good work!

  • Hello,
    Congrats to all that had a loss this week. I turtled as well.
    You all spoke of new people coming to your group. Try to encouge them and help them to get started on the right foot and when they have that week that they gain be sure and encourge them more. Remember, we were new to at one time and we needed that extra encourgement as well. I've found that when I encourge others I start myself on a loosing streak. I think it's because I remember why I wanted to get the weight off.

    Eleni: We have one lady who did the hyponis thing and she is doing really well with her losses. You had a great loss and it's good to see you are able to exericse again. Take it slow and steady.
  • Unfortunately my weekend is not going too good.We had to take our 15 yr old cat Simon to vets on Friday and he passed away Sat morning.The vet thought he might make it but he didn't.It seems real strange without him. But he had been sick for awhile and we didn't know it. That makes the last pet for us. Hard enough to take care of ourselves
  • Oh Eleni, I am sorry about your cat... I have a cat that is 5 yrs old, she is my baby "India" .... 15 yrs is a good long time for a cat.... Sorry for your loss, India aka Barb
  • Hi Eleni,
    I'm really sorry to hear about losing your cat. I know how it feels. I lost my beautiful 15 year old cat the day before thanksgiving. She was a good friend and companion. I also said no more pets, but last summer, a woman at work offered her little dog to DH. She is a mix between a dachshund and a chiuaua (sp) so we ended up with a 6 month old dog. I fell in love with her too.
    Take care of yourself and congrats on the good loss.
    Big Hugs
