Good morning, I did have another gain last night.
My doctors appointment went ok. I have a really wonderful heart doc. He concentrates on most important things. There is a reason I have been having trouble breathing when ever I do anything. My water pill is not working like it should. I have a lot of fluid. I have different meds to take for 2 days. He is hoping that will get reg meds to start working. If it doesn't he will change it. I am glad I went. They had called to cancell but when his nurse found out I wasn't feeling good they had me come in right away. His nurses are great(they are both men). His office people stink.
I am really glad it is Friday. Like everyone else is
I go to north Florida tomorrow to meet my SRD pal. We do have a lot in common. Both very large but she has been doing really good.
My typing class is a trip. I am getting better but it is funny sometimes. At least I can laugh about the bad typing.
I better get ready for work or I will be late. Work is better in some ways now.We now have 2 people in each building which means I can go to bathroom without having to call someone which I hated. But also have to sometimes put up with guy I would rather not have to try to think of something to talk about.
We have some real winners.
Hope you all have a good weekend

Remember me???

I am back again for a little while at least. I am still going to TOPS but as of next week I will no longer be the leader. I am stepping down for various reasons but the top one is that we might be moving before xmas and I wanted to be able to help out the new leader as much as possible before I move.

I didn't do all that good over the summer, but I am on the downward turn again. I lost 1# this week and 3/4 # last week which is not too bad for me. Now I just have to put in some more exercise and hopefully it will keep on going down.

I hope to get back into the swing of things with you guys again.

talk later!!!!

Hi all

Eleni.... Hope the new medications works and that you will be feeling better soon. The water was probably why you were having trouble losing weight. Let us know how you do.

I had a 1/2 lb. loss this morning. I didn't watch my calories over the weekend and didn't really try until after we started the challenge. So I am happy with a 1/2 lb loss.

Welcome to the christmas challenge, equinet. I think it will be interesting to add up everybody weight loss. Any guesses what our total weight loss will be?

Christie....Only one pound to goal. That's great. We'll be rooting for you this week.

Gotta go. My DH came home from work early. He has a DR. appt.

TOPS is the only group of friends who enjoy seeing less and less of each other.

Hello All!

I didn't go to TOPS last night. I have been doing really BAD. But I decided it is time to turn this all around. I joined the Dec Challenge and and going to put forth my very best to meeting it.

Eleni, I have been having trouble with water retention also! Hope you get yours straightened out. Glad you are pleased with you Dr. That sometimes if half the battle. Enjoy you visit with your SRD friend.

FLgal, Way to go! 1/2 pound is that much less than last week!

Christian at home, Congratulations on you loss! and to be back at goal, that is wonderful!!! I know you will reach it next weigh in!

If I missed any one, sorry, but I wish you all a good week.

Mickey
watch those extra bites this week!

Hi all,

Well today was my day off plan. I will start again tomorrow. But I did exercise this morning so that was good. I also ate much less today then I have on the other fridays in the past. Yes I went over in pts but at least it wasn't crazy like I have been doing. I also didn't go to the buffet. I bought a bunch of smart ones frozen entrees to eat for lunch. I had one of the pizza ones today. It was good. So I am all set now and ready to tackle this thing again. I plan on having a great week for weigh in this week. I did drink my 64 oz. of water today also. Which is another change for me. I wasn't doing that either only on the days that I do the hollywood diet. So I am making good changes everyday and slowly getting back on track. My life has slowed down a lot now. Rather I slowed it down. Things were happening too fast around here and I didn't have time to even think. But it was a more normal week around here so that was good to. So things are getting back to normal which helps a lot with my weightloss plan.

Eleni,

Hopefully the meds the dr gave you will help to get your others working again. I know that it is terrible to have water gain and in your case it is dangerous. Take it easy this weekend and let the meds work. Hopefully you will be feeling better soon. Have fun with your SRD friend. What are you gals going to do tomorrow?

Alannah,

Hey girl welcome back. I have been waiting for you to come back. That is great that you want to train or help the leader that is taking over for you. How did you like being leader anyway. I know it was your first time being leader. When you move are you going to find another chapter to join? Remember we are always here to. But you really need to get a computer at home so you can be here more often.
I am glad you joined the challange with us. I think it is what we needed.

Christie,

Glad to hear you are doing so well. How is the house coming are you seeing the light at the end of the tunnel? Remember to eat healthy. You are dong great. Are you feeling better? How did marissa do this week at weigh in?

Nita,

Way to go 1/2 lb is great. At least it isn't a gain. You are going in the right direction. I know you will have a bigger loss next week. But if not it is okay. Any loss is great no matter how big or small. You are a winner because you are not giving up. Thanks for the challange I think we all needed it. I know I did.
Make good food choices this weekend. I know the weekend is the hardest for us all.

Mickey,

Hey there. We are almost the same weight. That is neat. We can do this. I have been doing bad also and I am turning it around also. We are going to do this one day at a time. Lets make good choices and stop and think before you eat. What I am going to do is ask myself before I eat something do you really need this? What is more important eating this or getting to goal. Hopefully that will keep me on track to get where I want to be.


I am out of here ladies. Summer how did you do today? Are you heading in the right direction?

Penny I miss you girl how are you doing?
