Hi Jamie,

Can you post where the weigh in is? I cannot seen to locate it. I am down a few pounds.. lol being sick has it's perks I guess!

Thank you all for your well wishes..

I am looking for somesupport and motivation.. I have been gaining weight and feeling worse everyday. Between recurrent pain (fibro) and hypothyroidism I am falling even further behind my goal!! I started on CC almost a year ago, lost a bit then it all came back. Lack of motivation and support is my biggest problem. I work so hard (job and home) and find myself forgetting about me..

I started hydro aeorbics twice a week and ended up with swimmers ear.. LOL I know pretty sad! HELP

Well, I had a great weekend. Kept very busy; needless to say say I am paying for it today!  One thing I must remember Fibro kicks back! LOL I have kept within my calories each day and kept with the cardio all weekend. I will be back at the hydro aerobics Tuesday. I think my biggest problem at home, is keeping up with my water. I do so well at work, then when I am home I am not pushing the water. Something I need to fix for sure!

Well Off to the hot tub!  Then bed 5 am comes all too quick!

I feel as though I have been off on some other planet! Work, death in the family, and my Oldest deploying yet again... Just letting you all know I am here, clawing my way to the surface. I have not lost a pound.nor have I gained. (I guess that is a good thing)>>>>I am still here and in the moment. Stress of life and looking ahead to more secure and jubilant times of my boy coming home to his family!! Looking forward to the possibility of a new career move in all of this chaos.

(CW) 236

(GW) 180 .hopefully making some headway!!

Well Thank you! Sorry to hear of your loss as well. :(

My DH is heading home on a plane day after tomorrow, on what I am sure will be the last time he sees his dad. We will deal with what life has to throw at us, however this has been the roughest thus far! He keeps busy and I eat..I have made some wonderful meals and he has built some really nice wood projects for the yard in the past few weeks. In between we don our ipods and go for long walks. I guess that has been the saving grace in the stress area.

Again, Thank you for your kind words,  Lory

Hi Beth,

I totally understand where you are coming from! I too worked as a 911 dispatcher. I had to leave the job because I could not go without the bathroom breaks after having a historectomy. Ours was a small center for a large county that could only have 1 dispatcher on duty. It was nothing to have 20 crashes on a snowy night and a housefire and several medical calls all going at once. We dispatched for city, county, fire and medical...very busy! The weight I gained during that time continued after I left..I too have a thyroid condition and closely approaching that big 50.. I think many factors play into the weight staying on the hips (and belly and butt). I notice that if I watch the carb intake the weight comes off. If I do not get enough rest I gain. Food allergy? Maybe.. I start a sneezing fit 15 minutes after eating my mutigrain wheat bread. Adding water helps keep the pounds from creaping back on. But I seem to lose the same 20 pounds and "stay" right there!

I do not have any answers, just more questions. I think this is a great format to hep get the answers we are looking for. Research every aspect of issues other folks are having and take bits and pieces, using them to your advantage! Somethng will work, it's just finding the right soemthing for each of us.... well I am off to find another piece of the puzzle!

Happy Saturday fellow Orange Teammates,

This week has been productive, we have a great start to take the lead! I for one have re-opened my eyes to my goals. Don't ever keep your eye off of your target..a healthier, happier you!

I lost a great friend yesterday to cancer. He died at a young 47, leaving behind a wife and  3 children...the truly sad point is he will never get to see his first grandchild come into the world in 3 shorts month from now! I for one had a reality slap; life is to short to not be happy! I will meet my goal of a healthier me, all the while enjoying life to it's limits!

Until next week...........Eat well, but healthy..exercise daily..drink your water!!
