I am glad to hear it.

Baby steps...and then after a while it will feel completely normal. 

Well, tomorrow is weigh in for us here...  by calculations, I should lose 1 and 1/2 lbs...Today I saved my calories all day and then ate 4, yes 4!!!! cookies with chocolate chips...I have not done that in 5 weeks...and do you know I am still under my calorie allowance for the day!!!   Knowing me though, I will then put on a ton of water weight because of the sugar and blah blah blah...

So, Hope you have a great night.

Bertha...my computer died so I got a new one but that meant that I lost your email address...can you email me again?

My husband and I started calorie counting again after an almost 2 year break and I lost 7 lbs over the last 10 days.  Yes I know this will slow down but what a motivation and how easy it is again to count calories when my head is not stuffed tightly up my a** or buried in the ground with the dead!!!  Then there is the fact that he is doing this with me and not sitting there eating apple pie and telling me that I should lose weight.  He packed on a few pounds the past 2 years too so he is as ready as I am to count calories again.  I am hoping to lose up to 4 again this week and then expect it to go back to 1-2 the following week. 

Starting weight 282

current weight 275

goal by xmas 225

Jon...I wish you the best.  I know how strong you are and you can make this happen!

I found us on page 5, sad huh???  I hope that everyone is doind well and working toward their goals...let me know if you are still around.

Hello again...anyone out there...

Hi dawn...I am glad it is cooling off for you in Texas...I grew up there, Copperas Cove, near Ft. Hood and Killeen...I miss it sometimes but it was my childhood, when I have gone back as a grown up it didn't look the same  ;-(

But now I live in Wyoming and I love it here after moving around so much...it is nice to put down roots again...it is definitely cooling off here as well...I keep hoping winter will hold off for just a little bit longer...oh well...

Well, I wanted to check in and see how everyone was doing...I hope it is going well.

I thought I might come on here this mroning to wish you all a great day.  I am working in town and hopefully will be able to take the baby for a walk which will be good for both of us...Happy losing...

Just a quick note to say hi to everyone...hope your evening is going well.

ohmygosh...its mama...so good to see you...I have thought of you so often since January...;-)

I am still not on track but am here.  It is easier to tell myself NO when I have to come on here even though I am not counting yet.  If we can keep comng on here it will happen...we will get it together...

As promised, I am on again tonight...I hope someone will see that the over 200 club! is back on page 1 again...

Tonight I walked 2 miles with my husband and son...we had a great time.

I was thinking of starting one of the groups I see they have on here now, an "over 200 club!" group...would that help any of you guys?

Hello...is anyone out there????  I hope that someone will find their way back on to this thread like I did...

Welcome to imgigi too!

Well, getting on is the hardest part...I wanted to walk 10 for sure and did 20...yeah!

I am working now 4-5 days a week.  I will come back on but can not promise to come on all the time like I used to....but I will come on.

Thanks so much to everyone who wrote...I have been trying to catch up on reading so many posts....to stay motivated...to see where people are...I did walk yesterday and plan to tonight...

Thank you so much to all of you...

Good monday everyone!!!!

Hi...Blj...good to see you too.

I read posts this weekend to stay "caught" up but did not post anything...I went to town on Saturday and then we watched NASCAR yesterday...

Kauf>>> do not give up those Sunday nights!!!!!! this world has gone crazy and if you can keep that...you are giving yourself such a treat...even if you did have a bowl of ice cream or the fat free popcorn...Most families these days have never heard of a family night together!!!    I wish I knew how much the skin weighed...you could very well be nearer your goal than you think at this point...When I did consult a surgeon to find out how much more I needed to lose before seeking the surgery, he told me that the skin I had at the time hanging there probably weighed more than 30 lbs.   I want to get to 200 before I will ever go back but hope that helps you.

Well...I weighed 245 while I was sick and last week thought I did better than normal and this past Saturday weighed 249.   I am all off track, with water, food, no exercise, etc...I need to get back on that 4X4 wagon again...

Hi guys...

Rmama...I am so glad to see you still on here....yeah for losing the 5 and only 5 more to go to be back to "before"...

Tabby....OMG  it was so cool to see you on here...Yeah!!! we do need to catch up!!!!

Val...so you changed the name...;-)  I am so glad you are still here... I have been thinking of you...I think everything just caught up to me and getting sick was my body's way of saying enough is ENOUGH!!!!  now that I am getting better....I am feeling better...I still am not controlling my eating but have maintained since the middle of January without going any higher which is great for me at this point.

Chris...I am so glad you are on here now and going to curves...I appreciate you telling everyone I had been off because of being sick...I didn't want people to think I had quit, just was too sick to do much of anything...

kaufmkk...thank you so much for the lovely email...I so much appreciate you and am glad to see you are on this "thread."  I wish you the best of luck with your goals and will add you to my friends list...I actually have several people I need to add to that list...;-)

jon, luvtraveling, and the many others on here...I have been thinking of you all and am happy to see you here and sticking with it...I wish you all the best of luck with your goals...

For me...yesterday I worked outside for 55 minutes with "chores" shoveled snow, cleaned poop and fed everyone...it was really nice out, we made it up to 55 degrees...today it is blowing snow and the high will be 21...oh well, it will be spring here soon enough and then I am going to work outside for hours again each day...and I know the weight I gained back will come right off...I know it may sound strange...but the security blanket of gaining back 20 lbs helped me through the past few months...I think it is horrible that I "needed" that blanket but at this point am just glad to be getting through all that bad stuff...Spring is coming and I can't wait to put in my garden and watch things grow and come to life to replace all the thoughts of death and gloom that have hung over me for months...

So...I hope that everyone has a great day!!!! 

Good Morning Everyone...

I did walk this morning for 38 mns...yeah!!!my treadmill quit on me again...I did try to consciously walk in the middle today and it still got hot...I will have to figure out what the problem is...

I hope things are going well for everyone...

Congrats Chris on the 7lbs!!!!
