Hello to everyone!! I see there are newbies since the last time I was on, it's been a while again!! Hello.

I got sick with a real bad sinus infection and haven't been up to anything. I've had for about 4 weeks or so. The doctor said that once I'm better he wants to do so major tests, seeing that last year it seemed like I had a sinus infection almost every month. But I'm just now starting to be able to breath. Its hard to do anything when you can't breath and your head is pounding.

It sounds like everyone is keeping up the good work.  I did okay on Valentine's day, I think I only had 2 pieces of chocolate even though  my mind keep saying more.

Well, I will go back to when I last posted and try to catch up. Ya'll have a great week!!

Hello everyone!

IT sounds like everyone is doing really well. I think that everyone here is a inspiration for me because when I want to give up (and believe me that is probably everyday), I just come here and start reading.

Jodi, Way to go. Don't worry you will do okay at dinner.

Chefjanice, congrats on your progress. I still haven't found what works for me. My doctor told me to do Atkins and I did and I always do really well, but then I want to have sugar free pudding or oatmeal and I end up getting off of it. I don't think I follow Atkins correctly because I eat lots of salads and veggies more than the protein, but it always works for me till the craving for the sugar free pudding comes. HA! HA!

Hi Penny, Leelee, gracie, schatzi, earthmom

Here I was thinking it was cold here and ya'll are making me shiver. Its only about 30*degrees. I think its going to warm up to the low 60's later today. Have a great Wednesday!!!!

Prissy

Hi everyone!! How is everyone?

Congratulations Jodi on the 5 lbs.

Gracie, don't worry those pounds will be off in no time. I have been off track since the end of Oct. and well I put on some extra pounds of course but I'm back at eating right and trying to do better.

Onepoundatatime- I know what you mean. But doctors understand and they are very supportive and give lots of information.  I know what you mean about the hubby, mine can lose pounds just by eating right. It soooo not right.

leelee14, good luck with ur contest.It sounds like fun.

I have been doing really well back on the wagon. I just need to start exercising more. I hope everyone has a great week.

Hi everyone!!! Having an okay week.

Icegenesis-- I bought my elliptical at a yard sale a couple of houses down from me. It is awesome. It's probably bigger than the ones at the gym. I only paid $40. Can you believe that?? If I were you, I would look at yard sales, rummage sales, and stuff like that. I would even look at Craigslist.com. They always have stuff cheap. They sometimes have people just trying to get the stuff out of their homes and will give it away free. I think with the way the economy is right now, you could find someone trying to make some money selling theirs. Good luck!!!

I read every where we are supposed to drink at least 8 glasses a day!!! I can only drink that if I add something to it or drink one of these. They are really good, in my opinion.

Hi everyone and newbies!!!

It has been awhile, my computer has been down and they took away our internet access at work so I was not able to get on. It kinda thru me off, because I like to log my stuff and I couldn't and I think I went over board some days because I wasn't staying focused and not writing stuff down. But I started again today. I already logged my breakfast!!!!

It sounds like everyone is doing really well!!!! I am sorry to hear about your loss Penny and I am glad to hear that you are okay after IKE. I have some family in Houston and they were pretty worried. Also, we love to vacation in Kemah and Galveston.

Well, I have to go to a football game and start my day!!! Hope everyone has a great Saturday!!!

Prissy

Hello everyone!!! I feel bad, here I am feeling like "WHY ME!!", when its not the bad. I was reading the posts.

Jodi, my prayers go out to you and your family that  your 4yr old is tumor free.

Cindi- sometimes my self image is good but lately it is pretty bad. I find that my clothes are very lose. It makes me feel good, but then I realize what size I'm wearing and reality checks in.

Pam- that is just awesome!!A mile in 12 minutes!!!I can do that in my dreams!! That must feel amazing...

Pixieninja- congratulations on staying positive. Like others, I tend to give lots of advice but find it hard to convince myself. I am working on it.

Shizzigirl- don't worry, it sounds like you are doing awesome. You are going to the gym and counting your calories. You will see the pounds off soon.

Valueangel- thank you for making me see, that I control my life and that I can make the best of my day or I can make it bad. I am very grateful each day that I get.

Karen, I hope everything is going good with your walking and your little Luke. I am glad to hear that Barb is not giving up. She is a remarkable woman. She is such an inspiration. I send prayers her way. 

Hello, Jodi, ka2007, Keri, Penny, athena, renam, courtney, sara and everyone else. I'm sorry if I left anyone out!!!

I have my mammogram on Friday but after reading all the post, I am positive that everything will be okay. Thanks guys!!!!

Everyone have a great week!!!!

Hello everyone and newbies!!!

I have been having a hard time these past few days. On Wed. night my oldest son got hurt at his football practice and we ended up at the ER. We were there till probably midnight. That same night my niece who was born with heart complications ended up in the PICU. Well, that nigh I kinda ate things that I shouldn't of. I tend to eat when I'm stressed. My son ended up being okay and only having a very bad sprained neck. Well, you would think that I would try to compose myself and get back on track but nooooo. I had to top it off the next day (Thurs) with a terrible meal and then today at work, they had donuts and order burgers. Oh, I just hate myself right now for some how losing my self control. I need to get it back!!!!!!!

It sounds like everyone is doing really well- Shizzigirl, Pam,Keri,Athena, Penny, Karen, Cindi, and everyone else.

I have wanted to start doing weights. My brother in law is a big time weight lifter and he says that if you include it with your cardio, that you can add muscle so that it helps you to burn more calories and fat. I still don't know. I am sooo intimidated by the machines at the gym, plus I think I need to start all over after this week I feel like a HUGE COW. I actually feel like I gained weight. I don't even want to see the scale.......And then to top it off, I saw diggity dog and wanted a hot dog!!!!!

Everyone have a great weekend!!Hopefully I can get back on track tommorrow. Wish me luck!!!

Hello everyone !!!! 

It has been a while since I logged on. I want to thank those who sent their prayers for my husbands recurring after his surgery. I have finally got him back to work. He had a little infection and had to take 3 weeks off from work. It feels like he was home forever and like a had another kid to take care of. The boys have started their football, so its been practice everyday for about two weeks. They practice from 6p-8p, so I try to walk during that time. I've been doing really good. I try to walk for the first hour, that way I can see an hour of them practice. If anyone knows Texas, then you know that football is like a religion. The boys look sooo cute with their gear on.

I have read all the posts since my last one. Wow, there are alot of newbies!!!! Hello and welcome. These ladies are soooo comforting and soooo helpful.

Barbara, I want you to know that you are always in my prayers. I know that it might seem that times are hard for you but you are a very positive woman. I know that we all need to vent and have a day where we let it all out, but I know God only gives us what we can handle, even when it seems to be a whole lot.

Karen, I am soooo sorry to hear about ur nephew. Loss is hard. Always remember the special times you shared and you having the swing is just wonderful. You have a special place where you can go and reminisce and unwind.

Jodi, I am sorry to hear about ur lumpectomy. You are in my prayers. I hope ur vacation was fun and you had the chance to actually relax. I love ur picture. But I have to tell you every now and then it makes me sad and I start to cry. I had a shelltie, Byron. I am going to make a short story long but only so that you can appreciate my Byron. ---------A friend of mine told me they had this dog that needed a home. The owner a 13yr girl was pregnant and the family told her the dog or the baby, well she picked the baby of course. Well, I told my friend I had a friend who wanted a dog. But the minute I saw Byron, it was love at first sight. He was sooo obedient. He did tricks- stay, sit, roll over, fetch. He was beautiful. He lived a long life. I had him a year before I got married and then after of year of marriage we had our first son, and then 5 years later we had my second, so he knew all of the family. He was very good with the boys. Oh, and he loved going for car rides. I would take him everywhere. He was my first baby. Well, about 4 years ago he had a stroke and well my baby.............  I miss him sooooo much. The boys miss him sooo much. My little one always cries when he sees a shelltie or a collie. Even after all this time it is still hard. Okay sooo that was very long, sorry and maybe there are a few tears, sorry!!!

I lost a few pounds since the last time I was on. 235!!!! I finally got rid of the 240s. Congratulations on everyone losing. Seems like everyone is doing really well. I am sorry this is sooooo long. Have a great week EVERYONE!!!!!!

Barbara, I am soooo glad to hear that you are doing better and on your way to recovery. I have you and your family in my prayers. Just keep taking it one day at a time.

Hello to all newbies!!!!

Janie, I am in Texas in a small town outside of good ole San Antonio. It is soooo hot lately and humid. The sun stays until around 830pm, so if you want to go outside-- you need good sunscreen, a hat and lots of water...

Cindi,  congrats on onderland!!! I can't wait to be in onderland!!!

Karen, I tried several times before to have my own veggie garden, but with my sechdule it is really hard. Plus, the birds or the wild life would eat it before we had a chance. I try to make it to the local farmers markets to get fresh fruits and veggies. I need to find something that is easy.

Jodiferjuniper, it is funny you mentioned smores. My little one has been wanting to make them. We have this silly smore maker . I have been putting it off because I know the temptation to eat one (or more) would be too high. I'm hoping his cousins will come over so they can all do it together. Then I won't be so tempted.

lonestarpenny, it sounds like you are doing really well and are on your way. Good luck on your yard sell. I'm not that far from you (Texas!!) We did go the beach on vacation. We went to Port Aransas, South Padre, and Rockport. My family likes the Gulf coast. We did alot of sunbathing and relaxing. Oh, and some fishing. We caught some small sharks!!! It was alittle scary seeing those. I wish I didn't have to come home from vacation, I'm already ready for another one.

I have been doing okay as far as my eating and stuff, but this past Monday I decided to step it up a notch. I have been around the same weight for the past two months-- kinda going back in forth between 240-250. Well, I weighed my self today and I weigh 240. Maybe from now on the scale will continue to move down.

Hope everyone has a great week!!!

Prissy

Thanks for the advice. I guess for some silly reason I thought I should be able to run more than I can now. But I will try what ya'll said and I will start slow and not be sooooo bummmed when I only can go alittle at a time. Thanks for info and the links. They are really great! Thanks. Prissy

Hello to everyone! Its nice to see all the oldies and all the newbies!!!

Hi lonestarpenny, its nice to see someone from my home state. Isn't Texas the greatest!!! The weather today was awesome. My sons have baseball games on Saturdays and it was beautiful weather. It was so breezy that it made it alittle cold. We were at the park all day with the games and walking the dog.

Angie, it is good to see that you have good news with your husband. I can't wait to hear about you jumping in the pool. Living in Texas, I wish I had a pool. It can get soooo hot in the summer.

Kekri84, that sounds like a great program at work. I know that you will do great.

thinagain, I know how parents can be. For me its not my dad but my mom, I know she means good but sometimes she just says things in such a way that you have to wonder if they know what they are saying. Its hard I know but I think that they think somehow they are helping us. Oh, it drives me crazy. I know I'm in a rant again, sorry.

princessracer, thanks for the quote. I love quotes and I really think that Jillian is a great motivator. Let me tell ya, today we went to eat at Chilli's with some of my sons baseballs team, and I soooo wanted to get all the bad foods. But my head kept saying that I would regret it. It took everything in me to not order the southwest eggrolls and get some breaded chicken and order the molten chocolate cake. (I can still dream right!) but I didn't,I got a salad without all the bad stuff. (I'm ranting again aren't I!!)

Way to go C-andice on your 13 pound loss. That is awesome!!!! My husband step on the scale today and guess what he lost more weight.... Imagine that!!! He's lost a grand total of 30 pounds so far. Men and their metabolisms.... I'm still at 15. Go figure!!!

Hi Karen, how are you? sounds like you are busy with the chores while the kids are napping. I only wish mine would nap. They are 7 and 12; and they are on the go all the time. They play sports year long. Right now, it is baseball season. I love to see their games and cheer them on. We are always on the go with practices and games. They are already talking about football. We drove by the high school today, and they were having regitration already for football, that starts in August. I know its crazy but here in Texas, football is like a religion. I'm starting to get excited now. Hey, I don't mean to sound stupid or anything like that but what does DH stand for? I know you are referring to the husband but I can't firgure out the D. Sorry!?!?!?!

I am soo proud of everyone and how great everyone sounds. I know we can all do it. I went to long this week in checking in. Everytime I log on there is someone new. I think that is awesome. I hope to talk to everyone soon. Have an awesome weekend!!!

Prissy

Hi everyone!!! Welcome newbies!!

It sounds like everyone is doing a whole lot better than I am.

Karen, I am soooo glad that you got good news. You will always be in my prayers!!(As are all of ya'll.)

Barbara, I hope your surgery goes well. I know it will. I am praying for you and your job.

Angie, it sounds like you are going to get lots of exercise in your new pool.

Denise, just take it one day at a time. Do something healthy, aittle at a time. My husband just started his diet. he has started eating fruit. He just did it slowly. He now tries to exercise when he can, and guess what he has lost more wieght than me already and I think I'm trying harder.

I keep telling myself my time will come but I had lost ten pounds but I recently got on the scale and gained 5lbs. I'm soooo pissed. I have been dieting and exercising and then this. Okay, so now it sounds like I'm being mean and ........

UGH!!!!!

Well, I read that someone was going to try the low carb diet. Does anyone know if these are safe??I think I'm going to try one of these. I really need something to boost my weight loss and my mood!!!!!

Sorry for the rant!!!

Prissy

It sounds like everyone is doing great. I have been really busy but have started working out again.

I am praying for you Donna and your family.

I hope everyone has a great weekend!!!!

Hi, I don't know if its too late to join in on ya'lls list. I am 34 and wiegh about 260. I would love to 140. I was doing really well when I started but now, I seem to have fallen off the wagon and I am having a little trouble getting back on. Reading ya'lls post though has given me some motivation and hopefully I can stay on track. Thanks!!!
