Hello Sandy. Has been a busy week for me. I don't think I lost any this week. Scared to get on scales, maybe I'll wait till next week. :cry: Hope your doing better than me. Saw a friend of mine today she has lost 140 pounds(gastric bypass), she looks totally different. I'm actually going to try and motivate myself to start getting up earlier so that I can go to the gym. I have never been much for mornings, but I'm not much for being fat either. Keep in touch and let me know how your doing. TAMRA

I think that I might have made some progress on my weight loss:balloons: :cloud9: :dancer: I took my mother to the docotor and before her appoitment we went to the mall. well.

Hey Sandy. I haven't been online either. My evenings are so busy lately. By the time I get the boys asleep I'm ready to hit the bed myself. :yawn: Glad to see you found some bargains at the mall. I bet by summer the 14's will be to big for you. You know we're going to be way skinny by summertime. I did get on the scale 169(not to bad). I've been brown bagging it all week to keep from eating out. I hope it pays off and I lose a pound or 2. Give me an update on how your doing and I'll be checking in most evenings:) See ya later. TAMRA

Way to go there Tamra. I understand all too well about ready to fall after gettin the youngins in the bed. I haven't been on lately I lost my uncle on Tues and have been involed with that. The only bad thing is that due to the depression I ate way too much on Tues and Wed. Today I have done reaaly well. Anyway I just wanted to touch base. Gotta go and try to clean house some.

Here's to a blessed day,
Sandy

sorry to hear about your uncle. I lost a cousin over the weekend(drug overdose). I did have a pretty good day. Is it me or is everyone a little high strung lately? Maybe it's the upcoming holidays. I don't get to stressed out. I have a small family, so food isn't a threat to my diet. We usually go out to eat. Steak n Ale is the only place I know that never closes. What are your big plans? Will write again tomorrow. Tamra

It's not you it is the holidays it seems that it does this to everyone. I don't have too big of a family but my mother God love her heart she thinks that there has to be enough food for am army cooked. Of course that does also include the sweets. We usually gather at her house, then after dinner we always go to Kmart. This year I have to work so things will be pushed back some. We don't have steak and ale but denny's never closes. Today has been bad but tomorrow is another day. Sorry to gear about your cousin, I know that when things like that happen I go into stress mode so I eat. This is the one thime that I really didn't binge eat. I guess that I should be going I have to meet with Corey's teacher this evening, I just hope that he is doing alright.


Here's to a blessed day

Here it is Sunday. So how is it goin with you so far. I haven't gain nor loss so I guess that is good. Let me knwo how it is goin and how things are goin with you

Hello all! I am just beginning anew today after going to the doctor friday and learning that I weigh as much as I did right before giving birth to my first child. No wonder I feel exhausted, grouchy, and just at my wits end. I have been feeling very unattractive lately and angry because nothing fits and I refuse to buy new because my thought is if I'm going to continue to eat like this then I can be uncomfortable in my current clothes. Help! Nothing lately seems to keep me eating healthy and when I get off that "eating plan" I go crazy and binge eat and each time end up weighing more and more. I'm so disappointed in myself. I just want to feel healthy and happy again and be able to keep up with my five and three year old. Any support out there would be appreciated. Hope everyone has a wonderful day...I'm beginning the zone to help me control by carb intake....I am a carb junkie....loving pop and candy which doesn't help my waist line! Have a blessed day.

Hey Sandy. Things are going pretty good, how about you? I'm back to 168 again. It took about 2 weeks to lose the weight I gained in Atlanta. I also joined a 30 pounds in 4 month challenge. It's on thread debee. I doubt if I lose that much, but at least I feel a little pressure to do well. It is so hard to find time for the things I would like to do. Going to the gym for 1. I'll make do on my tapes and hope they work. Give me an update and go on over and join the challenge if you want to. Tamra

Tara Mae sometimes you have to look at each day as a new day. Remember that taking it one day at a time helps a whole lot. I know all to well about being a carb junkie, the pop was the easiest thing to give up. But hey I've done it. Once a week I will allow myself to have something that I shouldn't, although here lately it hasnt been goin as well as planned too much stress lately. Tamra:bravo: :hat: :cb: :dance: way to go. I went to the doctor yesterday for the ole poke and scrape and I really didnt love the scale it up 2 lb, unfotrantly I know that it is a direct result of the pain that I have been in. I guess that it doesn't help when the pain med that you take makes you sick if you don't eat something with it. I tried fruit and that just made matter worse, it took me about 2 wks of experimenting to find out that milk was the way to go. So how are the hollidays comming along? I think that one of these days I will make it to Wally World to get those toys out of layway. Well it's time to get ready for work. Tara how does the zone work?

Here's to a blessed day,
sandy

Hey Sandy. I always hated the doctor's scales:( I haven't even asked Brain(boyfriend) what we are doing for Thanksgiving. Most of my family works and he just has his mom. I'd be happy to just stay here at home and fix a ham or something small. Don't want to over eat. My weight seems to be stuck at 168. Have done pretty well all week and the scale doesn't move. It seems ever 10 pounds I hit a plateau. It sometimes takes weeks to move the scale again. How are you doing with diet and excercise etc.? Made some of the Weight Watchers veg. soup. Will take it for lunch tomorrow( so no to fast food):D Write me an update soon, hope your doing well. Tamra

Tamra, yesterday wasn't so good. Ah that evil:devil: chocolate snuck in there and I ate way too much. But so far this has been a good day. As for the exercise I haven't had too much time lately, but I have to try harder on fitting it in. I know what I am doin for turkey day I have to work tul noon. Then I am goin over to my mothers and afterwards will end up home cleaning and gettin ready to put the tree up.

Hey there girl.:wave: Saw that you were aim tonight I sent you a im but I wasn't for sure if you realized who I was. Just wanted to pass along the news I went to the doctor and come to find out that I have lost 5lb since last wed. :dance: I know it is because of this creaping crud I have but hey I will take the loss anyway it comes. So what have you decided to do for turkey day?

sandy

Hello Sandi. A big congrads to the weight loss.:cb: I haven't been online for a week. Hope you had a good thanksgiving. I enjoyed my time off work. Went to Brian's mom's on Thurs. and my parents on Friday. I did real good. Ate 1 time and not very big portions and even skipped the pies. I wish the scale would have showed all that disipline. I'm stuck at 167-168. :mad: Feel like giving up at times but to close to my goal weight. Hope your feeling better. I'll take that crud if I can lose 5 pounds. :D Talk to ya later. Tamra
