And you hit "Enter" twice?
Yes, after the first sentence, then again before I signed my name.??????? I assume it is a "mac thing", since I also don't have the posting options to click on that the others do. I am glad you all are working on all this behind the scenes. (Now I will hit enter twice, then sign name). Loretta =^..^=

Well, you've tried everything I mentioned, so I'm sending this problem on to the team.  Thanks for hanging in there.

I am sure I am driving you all nuts with my Mac hassles...so I will try out the latest instructions by posting my "about me" info, since IT won't let me edit my profile and post it there...yet...hee hee hee...and yes, I clicked SUBMIT! LOL!! ;-)
I am 54, married, no kids, have 2 furbabies. Started at 460; as of 7/05 down to around 400. Love arts and crafts, and hope to regain my health and mobility to get active again with my painting. This WLC program was an answer to prayer for me. I was losing hope, and I believe God gave me a PLAN, using Dr Phil. I have a lot to learn, and my progress is slow, but I will not give up. I want to "feel and deal, to heal".
Enjoying the Journey, Loretta in Oregon =..=

I think I know the answer to this one! When you posted, you must have hit "Reply with Quote" (since you had that included in your message, like you were quoting yourself, or replying to yourself). Instead, try using "Post a Message" , unless of course, unless you WANT to quote from someone's post. I hope that made sense! :-) Hugs, Loretta (don't feel bad; I am having my own posting problems LOL!)

Hello everyone

Hi everyone-how are you all doing?  It has been awhile since I have been on.  Now, I'm trying to navigate my way through the message boards.  How confusing!!!!  Well, things here are going ok.  I have been doing better with the eating and the exercise.  I have lost a total of 17lbs since Jan 31.  I know that's not alot, but I have been exercising alot more and I feel so much better.  I have found that I have so much more energy when I work out.  Even when I wasn't eating good, I still felt better.  But, I'm definately feeling better about myself and that is an accomplishment for me.  I hated the way that I saw myself and now I have more respect for who I am.  

Well, my husband has been out of work since Nov of 2004.  It has really sucked.  We have really been struggling , but he got a job last week, so we are moving.  We will moving to Minnesota.  I'm not looking forward to the really cold winters, but I think it will be good for us.  We went there last week and checked it out.  It seems like a nice town that we are going too.  My husband will be going next week and the boys and I will be going in about a month.  I hope!!!!  It really depends on how much money we can get saved up by then.  There is a curves there, so I'm hoping that it won't cost an arm and a leg and I can continue to work out.  If not, I will have to find a way to do it at home.  Well, I'm going to go to bed for now.  I hope everyone is having a great night and I'll chat with you again soon.  I won't let myself get so far behind this time.  I need to keep caught up, so I can contine to be encouraged by you all.  Take care

God bless you

Jeannie

Jen, it's good to see you, I tried to send a message to you about our temporary meeting place twice and it came back to me both times. You're goals sound very reasonable and I know you can do it.

I had changed my email address from dial up to adsl (that's what we call it here anyway!) and as a result had to change my email address, so that must be why you couldn't get the message through. Thanks for trying anyway!

 

Jen (sending you a little bit of my part of the world!)

Hi Everyone! I am so glad to be back on this site.

How has everyone been?  I have been continueing  my water aerobics.  I haven't really done much with my weight I have lost 16 lbs since Christmas and have kept it off. I find it harder since the children are home.  I have been walking with my daughter Heidi every evening, and have been enjoying the time with her. It isn't long it is maybe 15 minutes.  Ok I will check in later,  Have a nice day   Maureen
