Hi turtles

Judy - I will be thinking of you & hope storm passes quickly with
no damage.
I am sure you will drop those pounds quickly as soon as you can get back OP. With all the upheaval & stress that is hard, just do your best
Take care

Thanks for the kind thoughts. Bandit, that helps! It seems that my little family and I have had extra stress for a long time now, but I just have to get up and over this. Will do. So good to know I've got all of you Turtles out there in CyberSpace.

Cherry, yes----double of course you fit into a 14. You've done so well. I feel honored to have seen your journey. You took charge of your weight, tried different things and you've done it. Weigh to go!!!!

Love you all. Trees are shaking here already, so I'll keep in touch as best I can as this dopey storm comes through.
Love,
Judy

Judy hope the storm passes quickly and softly!

Been to Y 2 mornings this week, just trying to keep at it!!!

Have a good day! Happy thoughts to all whatever the day brings!

Terri

Good morning everyone and happy Thursday! Hope everyone on the East Coast is safe and warm!

Just chugging along here.

Hi Amy,
We check in with each other as often as we can. We give support. Lots of times we set up a weekly weigh in challenge to help us boost our weight losses.
Why don't you give us a try and see if we fit what you're looking for.

Hi Turtles,
We were without power again. This time it was tough because we had lots of snow to deal with and the temp. dropped. House was 49degrees at its coldest. Luckily only without power for 24 hours------lost cable for about 35 hours, but we're up and running now.

Halloween party was so much fun. Then we got hit with storm that Monday and life has been wacko since. I feel like 2 weeks of Nov. disappeared and I'm not sure where they went. Am focusing away from politics now that the election has been held. I'll put that energy into friends, family, and me.
That makes sense.
Weight is up and tough. I had just lost a bit and we lost our power again.
ugh. Now we're fine. DD, dsil, and dgrandson are coming to spend the weekend with us. DD is expecting, in the middle of selling her house and without power for 16 days now. Luckily her ds had power and she and her little family relocated there for the duration.

Okay, just wanted to check in and say hi. Sending :goodvibes: to all of us for all our needs.
Love,
Judy

Hi everyone.

So the stress of looking for a job has my weight amd eating habits all over the place.

So apparently I have hit that magical age that everyone thinks that is okay to bring up the so when are you going to get married and have some children speech. So a little stressed out.

Going to concentrate on eating properly next week. I am back to skipping meals which is always my downfall. Hope everyone is well. On another note I have discovered Greek chocolate yogurt, it is great. I have a slight chocolate addiction.

Hope everyone is well. Going to try to be more consistent with everything.

Hi TUrtles,
We're up and running. We're babysitting our grandson today because his folks have to work and his school is off for Vets Day. He's a good and interesting kid!
My eating has been miserable.......guess it's a good thing I'm not a drinker, but today I'm trying to go meal by meal, track it, and get through the day.

Life4evr, people can be so rude. What your dating/lovelife is like is your own business. I really feel people when they inquire about what you're doing don't mean any harm, but it would be super nice if they'd think before they speak. As far as your job search, it will all work out fine. You got through school and now you just need one job offer. You'll get it. We all have issues we deal with by overeating. It's smart of you to e-mail us because I bet someone will have some good ideas.

Okay, :goodscale: to all of us. I'll go to my WW mtg. on Wed. to WI and see my friends. it's been tough here with power out and all else including damage to the yard and our car, but we're trying to get things done one step at a time.

:goodvibes: and :cheer: to all of us! We can do this. We've done it in the past and we know what to do. Best of everything for everyone.

Thanks everyone. As for the comments gotta love family. I know the job suitation will work out patience isn't my strongest virtue. Today eating has been okay. Hope everyone is doing well.

Hey All

I think we are all on the "one day at a time" phase, I'm sticking with that because I know today I can do it!!!! Tomorrow we will see, ......


Terri

Yes Turtles, I am definitely at the one baby step at a time mode! I'll check back in after WW WI mtg. I know I'll be up a lot, but that's where I am and I'll work to fix it.

:goodvibes: and :cheer: to all of us as we go through this process together.

Glad to hear from you. It's so cheering to know you are all out there.
