Jen,
That is funny. Those Dummy books are good. We bought "Puppies For Dummies" They sure do get your attention with those names don't they? Thanks for your wonderful words. You always think of everyone. You are so sweet.
I hope you and your husband have a lot of great walks together.
Zoe,
Congrats! You are doing great! "Weigh to go"
Essie,
Glad you came back to ww. That sounds a little excessive. 3X a week? wow! Talk about stress. LOL
Myra,
Oh how I hope that person gets their act together. I hate moving.
Dianne, How are you?
Have a wonderful morning.
Terri
Myra, don't worry, if I hit the lottery I'll give you the money to move along with a new car. I useto rent a house. The LL gave me a 4 yr. lease, within 1 yr. she told me she was selling the house I was so angry but it worked out cause I moved to a nicer place & a good neighborhood. Like Jen said, things usually have a way of working themselves out. Hang in there kiddo.
Zoe, fantastic!!!! This is why I have to check in here everyday, cause it gives me hope. You are doing soooo well.
Jen, out of all the exercises I've tried I like walking the best. Well, I love kickboxing but walking is easy. My hubby is my walking partner. It's fun when you do it together.
Terri, my co-worker decided to join LAWL. She joined on Tuesday & she looked miserable yesterday. She spent $300. The first 3 days for a jumpstart you eat meat & vegetables. (certain veggies) First thing yesterday morning before saying goodmorning she asked me what did I decide. She's very pushy!!! She always wants to know what I brought for lunch. I didn't tell her I'm sticking with WW. I told her I didn't know yet. She's going to be very disappointed when I tell her I'm staying with WW. She'll probably give me an attitude. That's the way she is. Weird!
Well, let me get ready for work.
Hasta Luego (till later)
Have great OP day.
Dianne, helllloooooo out there!!!!?????

Essie,
She doesn't want to be miserable all by herself. LOL
When a program is restrictive it won't last.
Any deprivation at all won't last. I am in another group where everyone was so gung ho about "Body For Life" The enthusiasm lasted 2 months. They weren't allowed so many things they all quit trying to lose. 5 dropped out of the group. The only ones that stayed turned to ww. It really is liveable. Even for a lifetime. JMHO!
Glad you are here. YOU CAN DO IT.

Essie,
I'm so glad you chose to stay with WW. I was hoping that would be your choice, totally selfish on my part.....didn't want to stop hearing from you! Hang in there and we'll all meet one day and admire each other's bods!
I'm feeling better about things...can't spend the rest of my life worrying about what I can't control. Actually that applies to all of life, right? Joe is feeling better every day; we're attending a stress seminar at the hospital this evening.
I just came back from my WI and it wasn't a pretty sight. I gained 2 lbs. I guess it wasn't all that bad since I missed two meetings and I've been going through real hard times. Time to get back OP now. Wish me luck.
It's time for me to confess. I have been so good for the last 4 weeks, staying focused and staying within the needs of my body rather than the needs of my head. Losing 15.6 pounds in just 4 weeks is a testimony to that. Other than a "big-bash" birthday party 2 weekends ago and some pizza every weigh in night, I'm been obedient to God. So.........tonight, I had a Mary Kay get-together for a friend who sells it. I didn't serve a bunch of things since it wasn't really dinner but I had a few snacky foods.....and I had some.....I had things that are not good to be eating when I'm in the 'losing' stage. I had some 'diet' or 'low-fat/low-cal' foods but when you have too many of those, it's not good either. I then proceeded to, when everyone was gone, heat up the left over pizza for hubby and heat up the left over piece of Cinna-sticks from Domino's. I am feeling guilty ~ & to be honest, I really just needed to confess it all to you guys and now, I feel much better. Thanks so much for listening.
Myra ~ I'm sending prayers up for you and your situation.
Jen ~ Thanks for the 'applause' but as you read, I fell down but with all my guilt, I think I'll be okay now.
Terri ~ Hello!!!!
Essie ~ You're right....checking in here is such a big help. I appreciate all of you more than I can say.
Dianne ~ Yoooooo Hoooooo....where you at girl????
Time to get some rest. I was up at 4am today so I am beat. Have a wonderful Friday Y'all......'see' you all here tomorrow night.

I could have sworn I posted here last night....came back from the seminar and I totally remember addressing Myra's and Zoe's posts. I certainly hope it doesn't show up somewhere else! Boy, it sucks to get old. Speaking of which, Joe and I were the youngest at the stress/heart disease seminar last night, out of about 100 people. It was informative, and, I think, really helped my husband see how important it is to slow down and smell the roses.
Myra, your gain is understandable, being under so much stress will definitely affect your body. Take care of yourself, and remember that we're here for you.
Zoe, just look at it as a slip, and you've already put it behind you. It's going to happen, can't dwell on it.
I weighed in this morning, and lost .2; yep, I'm happy I didn't gain. I'm sure this week will be better. With everything going on last week I tried to eat within my points, but didn't journal, didn't drink my water, didn't exercise.
Essie, did you tell your co-worker yet that you're sticking with WW? I hate pushy people...don't worry, you'll have the last laugh when you're $300 richer and lighter!
It's really cold here, below zero this morning. It doesn't look as tho my daugher and her family are coming over this weekend, so it'll be a quiet one. I've got quite a bit of homework to do, a quiz on Monday: the teacher calls it that, yet says it'll be an hour and a half long
Terri, hi!
Have a good evening everyone.

Myra,
Not to worry, you know what to do! You are good at this. Good luck!
Zoe,
You probably are just fine. Keep going. Those cinnasticks are pretty good. I had them over Christmas.
Jen,
Great job! A loss is a loss is a loss.
Way to go.
Hi Dianne! We miss you.
Well guys,
My hubby had to take my 14 yr. old, Brittany, to the ER last night. they got home at 4 o a.m. She was doubled over in pain. We found out that she has an ovarian cyst. I don't even like to think of her having ovaries . I know we're born with them but I don't want to think of this. During the menstrual cycle it hurts (immensely) because of the cycle. She is still in a lot of pain. I have to get pain pills filled when the pharmacy opens. The one they gave her will wear off soon. That was the last thing that we thought of. If I would have known it could be something like that I would have went with her. She had to have her first pelvic exam. She was scared. They also did an ultrasound. My husband was great. He was a trooper. He stood right on the other side of the screen and talked to her and the Dr. was a woman and I think that helped. She was very nice. Now we have to find a Gynechologist to see what to do about it. They said they can :
1: surgically remove it
2: Do hormonal treatment (The pill)
They also said women can get pregnant and the hormones from that disolve it. My husband said well that is not an option. The Dr. laughed and said "Very well said" Brittany's eyes are huge. They asked questions like "Are you sexually active?" She said very emphatically "No, Maam" She said "I'm glad you are proud of it" . It is scary that they ask girls her age that. I know that there are plenty of 14 yr. olds that are.
Terri
Sorry I haven't been here in awhile, a bit busy. Funny thing is I didn't think I was gone that long until I read your posts and saw people asking me where I was, LOL. Well, its nice to know I was missed - missed you guys too.
My congratulations to all of you who have been losing (zoe - your're really doing terrific girl - way to go; Jen - you too, you should really be proud) also to those who are staying the same and to those who are like me - stuggling a bit. It's so great to be able to come here for support, when your'e not doing so great. It really means alot because everyone here is going through the same thing, facing life's daily struggle plus trying to lose weight at the same time.
Terri - I'm sorry to hear what happened to Brittany, that must have been scary for all of you. She must have felt like she was in another world. Great that your hubby was with her and was able to handle the situation. I hope things work out well for her.
I haven't been to ww in 2 weeks - the first week because it snowed heavily and the center was closed, and last week because I had two grandchildren, Joseph and Alissa overnight, so they kept me tied up a bit. But I'm going this Sunday, and I'm sure I'll face a gain, but that's okay, as long as I know I'm getting back on track. Part of getting back on track is facing the music, right? This is a life long thing and we will all face up and downs (mostly downs, hopefully).
Well, now that I've made up for lost time, I will say to you all- have a great night and thanks for being my buds!!! Talk to you soon. Oh, and Essie thanks for the angel prayers, hon.
Dianne

Hello Y'all ~ TGIF!! Hope everyone is having a great Friday night and staying OP.
Jen ~ a loss is a loss is a loss is a loss...right?? Like you, I agree that it's better than a gain.
Terri ~ I'm so sorry to hear that Brittany is sick. That can be so painful and a child (14 is a child) just can't handle that sort of pain. And the poor baby having to go through that....I don't like those exams in my 40's, I can imagine what she was feeling. I will keep her in my prayers.
Those Cinnasticks are GREAT ~ I just couldn't help myself. But I think I'm okay now. Hopefully, my day and a half of being OFF won't cause a gain.
DIANNE!!!!!!! ~ I'm so glad to see you here again. We've been wondering about ya. Don't worry about a gain at your WW meeting ~ at least you're going back and you'll be back on track in no time.
Hello Essie and Myra ~ hope everyone is doing well.

Terri,
While it's troublesome to have known your daughter went through that without you by her side, think of the upside.....how great your husband was, being there for her. I imagine he felt proud when he heard her reply to their questions.(Can we say Jerry Springer? So many girls that age are already sexually active.) She will be in my prayers.
Dianne,
I was happy to see your post, you have been missed! Like you, I've been struggling, but will absolutely not give up. In fact, lately I've found that sticking to my routine is somewhat comforting. No matter what else goes haywire, I feel as tho I have some control in my life. Enjoy your grandbabies!
Zoe,Essie and Myra, hi!
