Hi dear friends! It's Linda here. I had to change my username and everything, just to get back on here. And something is up with my ISP, so I can't even post a picture yet. But, I'm grateful just to back on here with all of you!

Hmmmmm, maybe I can post a picture IN my post, but it will take some practice here. I'm SO not good at change, so it's going to take a little bit of time for me to get used to all the changes here.

Ok, here's my confession...I went to a baby shower yesterday that had UNBELIEVABLE food! I went all out, sadly, but I guess I know that I can get back on track. I actually worked out last night when I got home because I was so shocked by what I had let myselfeat. I had a salad for lunch today, and I need to up my h2o intake. I'm so glad that I have learned what I've learned and know that I will not self destruct from this.

Anyway, off for now, but I can't wait to see how everyone is doing. Plus I have to figure out how to reaccess my diaries. I bet since my username has changed I will have lost ALL my information! How tragic is that? Almost 2 years of triumphs and struggles! YIKES! That's the saddest part.....

Oh, well.....have a great day everyone.

Linda,

Hi, I am happy to have contact with you again. I'mglad we all back onthe message boards. I hope you can find your diaries. It's so nice to see your face (and your son's face) on the message boards again! (even if it is a different name). Take care! :) Brenda

Just checking in to see who's around and to say hello. I must say I'm amazed at how I've found exercise to be so closesly tied in with my eating. About a week ago was the first time in about 20 months that I didn't fit in my IE for about 5 consecutive days. Boy, did that mess me up. Or, was it some stinkin' thinkin' from RSP (so deprived, poor me) that threw off the eating which then played with my motivation for IE.  Add to that a boken Air Conditioner and loss of my vehicle for a couple days -- too hot at home, and unable to get to Curves. 

Any way, excuses aside, it just feels right to be back solid again with my IE. And to think that for YEARS, I thought I hated exercise.  Just didn't know what I was missing!

Sure hope we can keep our board going. I miss you all!

Brenda.

I missed everyone so  much while my computer would not work right, and I tried to say hi when I went to visit my parents but I couldn't get on then either. I see my picture is a bit distorted and I need to get a new one, but I wanted to say hi to everyone and let you know that I have had you in my thoughts while I have been gone.

I was told by my doctors that I am not allowed to do any type of exercise other than biking( I need to get my road bike fixed) or stairs(I live in a one level ranch house). So I have been trying to come up with ways to get around that , unfortunately I have gained 10 pounds back, I just got the ok from my doc to do weights again, errg It has been a bit frusterating to go from 1 1/2 hours a day to nothing while trying to figure a way around it all, why can't I exercise, my plantar facitis became so bad I couldn't hardly walk and it was cramping painfully when just sitting. So it has been fun.

We got some news on Christian, he definitely has a severed tendon, but we feel that it is supposed to be put back the way it was and that is the strong feeling both me and my husband have and so we are going to find the doctor that will do what needs to be done. I have prayed like crazy and I feel that what the Lord wants is to have Christians foot whole again, not what the doctors seem to want to hear.  So he is getting tests done that are checking his nerves in  his foot and the muscles in his leg. We had to split it in two because when the stuck the needle into his calf muscle and sent the electricity through it he about lost it, and so we have to give him medicine to sedate him to complete the test next friday, then we get a nother opinion from another doctor about the situation which is very complicated now that the second surgeon shortened the tendon in surgery after the first one severed it, he sort of doesn't want to do what needs to be done, he seems to be backing out of it and wanting to wait, but that is not an option for Christian, things just need to be fixed so that he can use his toe.  So if I could again impart your faith on his behalf that things will be as the Lord desires, I would really appreciate it.

So that is a brief catch up, but I hope to read and catch up myself too, I just wanted to let you know I am finally back on and I have missed you all a lot!!!

Love ya Debbie

WOW, Linda you were a beautiful woman before, but now you are fantastic, and what a beautiful little boy.  I know you must be very proud of him.

I have been on vacation and what a surprise when I got back and not able to get on the boards.

I felt a little lost for a few days.  LOL

Sounds like everyone is doing good.  Has anyone heard from Joy?  I just wonder what has happened to her.

I have managed to maintain my weight, but it sure is a everlasting battle.  I am going to be really challenged this week.  It is my daughters birthday.  That calls for a mississipi mud cake.  It sure can't be around here for very long or I am doomed.  I am going back to exercise tomorrow.  I haven't been able to exercise since April 12th.  That was when I had my surgery, then I went on vacation.  I am looking fwd to going back.  I feel so much better when I exercise.

Everyone have a great evening.  Dolores

Hi Ladies,

I was so sad when Dr phils website decided to redue  it. I could not figure it out either when it was wokring again. I do not really like how they redid it. I can not figure out how to ge to the begining so I can see what I have missed.

I am doing okay. I did do one week of the rsp and I lost 1lb. I was surprised becasue I did a good job. It was discouraging. I am planning to start it up again ont he 9th. I have been eating okay but some sweets. Just a little.

Linda your picutures are great. There is a big difference between your before and now picture. It is amazing how weightloss makes a big differeence the same with weight gain.

Well ladies talk to youi soon. Take care.

Melissa
