Yes......and it is killing me! lol

Quote From: momocto

Jan, I clapped my hands and almost started to cry when I read your news. WOW! I love that train imagery and actually didn't realize that I kind of see it that way, too. Like last night when I had some ice cream and a brownie, I knew I was throwing water on my coal fire, but the difference is, it wasn't mindless like my eating in the past. I have a treat every now and then, but somehow I am able to skip it for a few days too. It's been wonderful. But I am so very proud of you and how you have just turned this whole thing around and gotten going again. It takes a lot of perseverence, patience, and strength. We all want our weight to melt off over night and when we put on more and have to re-lose it, like me, it's hard to come back, but oh so worth it. Congratulations, you Orient Express! Here's to breaking new records!

My infection is gone. I had three different IV antibiotics, a powerful cocktail. Now I'm "just weak, like little kittens" as Mammy said in Gone With the Wind. Hattie McDaniel was and incredible person. Did you ever see her acceptance speech for her Oscar? What a special lady.

Oh Cindy???? Did you behave yourself this morning and stay off that scale???? It was hard for me, but once I ate breakfast, the temptation was gone.

Love, Millie

I wanted so bad to climb on but didn't and of course once you have eaten what is the need.......lol. Then at work of course I weigh children and prengnat women all day so at noon the urge hit again but I knew I had vowed not to weigh till Sunday.

Jannnnnnnn, WOW you really wanted that patch bad! I'm so proud of you. And it reminds me also of the little train that could! (You can tell I deal with children all day). I hope you have the best of vacations. ARe you coming my way?

Tommorrow I weigh in!

Hi ladies! Tommorrow I weigh in and take my measurements again! I'm excited and scared! I want to know if I've lost some more weight and afraid I might have gained! I've made a few changes the last two weeks but I'm afraid last weeks weight loss was a fluke! See!!! Every time I focus on the numbers I get nutty!!! At least I'm weighing myself only once a week! I hope everyone has a great night! Hugs from Dee! :D

Millie! I hope you're feeling better and your kids and hubby are doing alright! Prayers your way! Dee!

have a great day again--and a great weekend

Hope you all have a great day and a great weekend. I'm once again running late--was up until just past 6 a.m. so I slept until 8 this morning. Now I have to rush off to work. Hope I can stay awake until the end of the workday and then come home to crash a couple hours. My mom comes in on a bus at 8:20 tonight so I need to be awake to pick her up and take her to her place, THEN I can sleep--glorious sleep. All weekend maybe. Or at least until I drain the 27 lb. of water in my feet and legs. I have to quit doing this to myself!

At least I did accomplish a little bit last night, but not enough to justify staying up that late. I also just realized that the underground sprinkling system is not working in one area so I need to haul hoses to water--the grass is burning up like hay. PLUS I'd forgotten that I need to water the backyard when my DH's out of town as we don't have sprinkler system there--it's 1/4 acre and that's lots of IE hauling those heavy hoses around. LOL But I need to do it--who will buy a house with dead lawn? So after I deliver my mom AND water lawn, THEN I can sleep.

Hope those little ones are all better by now. And I'm glad your infection is cleared up, Millie. Sounds like several of you are like me and have trouble with staying off the scales. Well, I did for over a year and then last month I decided I would only weigh once a week (Mondays) during this July challenge. Well, at least I did stick to that--in fact this week I totally forgot to get on the scales on Monday!! So breaking that habit CAN be done. Now I only have about a gajillion more habits to work on.....

argh!

I just wrote a nice message and it didn't post! anyhow It was saying how I hope everyone's kids are better and Thanks Cheryl fot the suggestions I have been trying to work on all the employees but they are having trouble scheduling themselves in. then how DH is whining over the fact that i am there doing nothing but introducing myself to customers and trying to become a familiar face there while he is watching the kids and I am not making any money...and I am placing an ad in a popular local classified guide next week, and Where is my name twin STACIE (gator)...and come to think of it..where are the STEPHANIES?

I guess that is it in a nutshel...I REFUSE to be discouraged! I am off to do pilates (or attempt to..lol) It's been making quite a difference, along with fitting in some other IE and trying not to be at the PC a long as usual.
