I think I should just give up for a while. I'll still eat good and workout , but just not worry about it too much. I don't think I can lose anymore right now. Maybe it's age, hormones, stress, who knows.

We'll see!!!

Well I have 2 days in a row with the scale in the right direction...183.4 this morning.

Angie and I tried a new little place by us....gyros/falafel/kabobs....

I got the shrimp kabobs...tasty but more of a lunch place than dinner for me.

Kept my beers at 3 for Friday night...been doing pretty well at 2 at night during the week and 3 on week-ends....

MINDY I wish I could help you in your frustration!

Have a great week-end TEAM!

I have moved down on the scale this week some but that's probably due to the fact I've had a bad stomach bug I cannot shake and I have not been able to eat much. Wednesday I couldn't even keep down water and had to call in sick. We have a pretty bad stomach virus circulating right now at my school I work at. I will probably be going to the doctor tomorrow at the walk in clinic so I don't miss work. We just got back from visiting my great grandmother for the day who lives an hour and half away from us and the drive was a bit nerve wracking due to my stomach complaining the whole way with every bump in the road and now my husband is complaining that his stomach is hurting so I hope we didn't pass it on to my great grandparents. It was a great visit though. Much needed. I am tired though since I've been up since 3am with my stomach once again.

Mtiger-maybe a break is what you need.

EZMONEY-turn off the microwave!

Jogged today, TOM started today, back down to 179.2 today.....for the upteenth time.

That's all I've got for now.

Well I tipped that scale in the wrong direction this morning...dang!

185 again...guess loading up that homemade pizza last night with pepperoni was not the right thing to do...even though it was turkey pepperoni....

or it could be the 5 beers yesterday or the chili nachos I had for breakfast...

should have it down a bit tomorrow..

eating better today...worked most the day and just finished 2.5 miles in the sun with the mutts.

Hang in there TEAM!

Blah...........

Why are we having such a bad time?

Can I come back? I had a ROUGH winter. I had a ROUGH semester of NURSING. That semester is over. I am only a few pounds away from where i started...so am pretty upset about that.

I am sick of losing weight. I want to lose inches and that is it. a healthy bmi is my goal...and I'm not just going by weight this time.

Welcome back JEN!

I am sorry things were rough on your "weight" this winter...the TEAM is struggling too...

I am thinking it wasn't our fault :nono:

it was caused by the changing of the climate....going from fall to winter to spring and heading towards summer....

what are we to do?

GLOBALONEY is what it is!!

not our fault ;)

HERE WE GO TEAM...kicking butt once again :carrot:

i think we should take responsibility for our loss or no loss. I for one have given up on trying to acheive the perfect WEIGHT. i just want to lose inches. If the weight goes with it..so be it!

Well team.. I am down a couple of pounds to 204 something.. since I am still sick with tummy issues and was in the ER Sunday night with it since the doctor at the walk in clinic thought it was my gall bladder or appendix and sent me to the ER instead. I had to stay home sick from work Monday and let all the drugs get out of my system that the ER gave me Sunday night then today I just got fired for being absent since I was in the hospital. I've never been fired before so it's an interesting experience. I'm definitely feeling down in the dumps. Some of the things my boss said to me when he was talking to me was just mind blowing. I truly am numb and shocked. I even showed him the receipt I had for the hospital visit and he just flat out didn't care and didn't believe me still. I got the feeling he's been waiting to fire me since my mom died since he implied that I was out too long taking care of my mother's arrangements. So I will be job hunting starting tomorrow. Wish me luck.

Bless your heart Bratt!!!!!! You deserve a better boss!!!

Brat, my heart goes out to you. I have been fired for "stupid" reasons before. It hurts. you feel a sense of failure. The loser mentality creeps in over you. Ignore it. Trust that you are worthy and deserving of a good job. This must just be part of God's plan. God didn't want you at that particular place anymore...and now you are ready to move into a new phase in your life.

I am so sorry BRAT...hugs and prayers.

Thanks guys for the support. It's been another bad day. On top of all of this, my boss has decided to not inform my co workers that I am no longer working there so I got contacted by several co-workers today who were very concerned about me since I was so "late" to work. So I got to be the one to inform them that they wouldn't be seeing me anymore which I really don't appreciate having to do that. I have gotten a lot of support and people are very upset to say the least of how the situation has been handled. I got pizza sent to my house for dinner tonight by some of my co workers. So it is nice to feel some support. I took today to myself to calm down mostly and do some research. The research has only served to further confuse me about my rights and how to proceed lol.. I cleaned house today so I got some physical labor in for some activity. Have a nice night!

Brat- WOW!! Sorry to hear that. Keep your chin up. Things will improve.

I just had a 45 min. yelling match with some idiot at Chase bank. I hate that company.

Well my new plan involves building up my endurance so I can run 3.1 miles without stopping. Trying not to focus on wieght so much. :dizzy:
