Sheree,
To answer you question about TOM, I gain the week of and then I can also gain the middle of the month. I know it's weird but this is what I've noticed. I think the mid month gain is becasue I crave salt. I try to flush it out with more water.

I understand and thank you for your input... I have never noticed th amount of sodium I have been intaking somaybe that needs to be watched...I am trying to make this is as easy as possible...weighing things out doesn't bother me too much actually soemtimes when you weigh things out you get more for the points!!! Thanks again and hope you are having a good week!

Thanks for the encouragment Sheree and Susan. I don't feel like I'm going to make it this week though. TOM All bloated & stuff. To answer your question Sheree, I notice a gain sometimes the week before and week of. It depends on how much salt I crave. I will hit that mark though. Have a great week all....Sis

I am one step behind you today SIS!! You are right it will come keep focused and you can make that goal. Thank you for your input on my question! I just liek to know htings...well chat soon...

Okay people!!!!!! It's too quiet around this thread!!!!!

How is everyone doing this fine Saturday? I bet most of us have been glued to the TV watching the war. Isn't it amazing what we are able to see this time! I would not want to be one of those newspeople, though. I heard that several were injured and one was killed today.

I'm still trudging on trying to lose some weight. The scales aren't in my favor; however : the slacks I bought 2 weeks ago fit great now. When I bought them, they were tight (got them anyway ). That's a positive thing, isn't it!!!!!

Cynthia, Kady, Maureen, Dee-----where are y'all these days?????

Tammy, are you still coughing? I hope not.
Sheree, any moose in your yard this weekend?
For those who haven't looked at the "weigh-in thread", Sheree has lost her first 10%!!!!!

I didn't mention everyone by name so forgive me!!!

Tina

It seems like when I can get into one of the threads, I can't get into the other one the same day. Is that weird or what? I haven't been on-line as much lately either, so I'm not trying to get in every day.

Yes, I'm still coughing. I go back to the doctor on Wednesday. Antibiotic is gone, still a few more puffs on this inhaler, and I still have the night time cough medicine. It does help me sleep through the night, so that has been a blessing. I keep over the counter cough medicine with me at school, but it really doesn't seem to help. Not sure where the doctor will want to head next with me. I'd like to go to a tropical paradise somewhere!!!! lol

We've been watching quite a bit of CNN the past few days. We know quite a few young men over there, so it has been nervewracking. We know at least one of them is in special operations and has been in Iraq from the beginning. One other one is there now. The others we think are still in Kuwait, but no one knows for sure. Keep praying for all of them.

Take care everyone. I need to journal!!!!

Hi everyone

Even though I'm usually here everyday-I haven't had too much to contribute. Since I was here last I've started a new job. I really like it(I've been there 4 weeks)-I'm doing the bookkeeping for this metal salvage yard. I'm trying to decide at this very minute wether I should call my old manager & see if I can get some parttime work with them. Even though I didn't take a cut in salary my other half has been unemployed for a while now & his unemployment insurance has run out. I've got some major decisions to make. I'm feeling very resentful right now. I'm choked that I even have to think of getting a second job while Geoff waits to hear about a job interview etc & on top of him my 20 yr old son is back home with us & doesn't seem to be looking too hard for any employment.

Needless to say I haven't been following program but have managed to get quite a lot of walking in.

Thanks for letting me vent & I'll be here more often

take care

maureen

Howdy everyone!

I had a blast with my family!!! The kids are the cutest!!! I spoiled them as much as they spoiled me!!! I never know who has more fun

Sheree, I'm so proud of you!!

Tammy, wish you were ALL better. I'll go with you to that island!!!!

Tina, I'm right there with you on losing weight. I did try in San Antonio but I did break down several times. I got to see everyone!!!! Of course that's a bunch when you come from a large family. Last night we pulled out the old movies of us. The kids kept saying, where is the sound? They got bored pretty quick but we loved it.

Maureen, You need to take care of yourself. We are always here for you and you can vent anytime. Glad you like your new job.

I'm going to start swimming tomorrow evening at the community center. I don't get to go back to Curves for another month but I'm ready to start doing something.

Please pray for our soliders!! I hope they have a safe and speedy return. We are lucky to live in America!

Where Is Everybody?????
We haven't been this "dead" in ages!!!!!!!!!!

Is everyone stuck in front of their TV watching the war?

I've just come in from working in the yard and I'm dirty and hot.
We have a small amount of yard between our garage and fence. The grass had died during the winter. Well, our neighbor had a water leak & didn't know it. Now, our ground is MUD/MUSH!
(the neighbor turned off the water) Today, I put additional top soil down and leveled the area. Tomorrow, I'll go buy St. Augustine grass when the nursery gets in their load. It'll be easier putting down the grass than the work I did today.

Needless to say, I haven't weighed today.

Let's hear from ya.
Tina

I've been wondering the same thing!!!!! I miss everyone!! I'm tired of seeing about the war. It breaks my heart!!!!

Tina,
I need to work out in the gardens too. Don't have too much fun working. If you get bored you can always come work in mine.

Well weighed in today and stayed the same...very aggrivating..but I guess if the other weeks I loose a couple of lbs then it balances out.!!

Yard work...too much snow on the ground here to do anything like that yet...we are so icey right now you don't want to walk around outside. I think my dog sprained her leg in teh ice have to check it out...
Am selling at a homeshow this weekend so will be busy...have a good weekend everyone!!

Sheree,

What will you will be selling at a homeshow? It always sounds like you are busy!!! I can't imagine having ice now!!! Your poor doggie!! So how were things when you went to check out upstairs?

We sell polish pottery...it is pottery imported from Poland!
There is always somone not happy wtih the kids....they fight over a lot of things! usually I don't run to all their fights...too big of a house and I like them to work things through.
yeah she is still limping but she is a big German Shep and has leg problems...from living her whole life outside...I think it is too cold for that so I make her come in at night! She used to belong to teh owners of teh hosue...now that we rent we took her over as ours...of course with their permission.
chow

Well it seems I've stayed the same this week. I know, it's better than a gain but I don't quite see why I gained last week. Oh well that's ok I'll just keep on trying. Hope everyone else had good luck at the scales....Have a great day...Sis

It was 72 here yesterday, today it is in the upper 20's. Brrrrr. Tim has been out working in the yard. The Chemlawm guys are supposed to come this week. He's getting old leaves and branches cleaned up. Don't want to fertilize anything but the grass!

I think it's time to get off the computer and go read the paper. Maybe a nice nap????
