Good Morning All...Feeling good today about life in general and can't wait for roll call tommorow ! Although the week has had it's struggles I am managing well...

I had an NSV yesterday...I was at work and someone that doesn't really know me that well told me that whatever I was doing was noticeable...Yeah ! I'll take it !!

I have been drinking a lot of water this week and finishing my TOM so hopefully the scale gods will be kind !

Have a great day all...

Good evening all... I only lost a pound this past week, but I am okay with that...I just finished my TOM and knew there may be a chance of a stall for a few days, and will keep going..!!

I have had a very busy past 4 days...my daughter had her birthday and then her kids party and then a family party...Today was a special day at church and she received her first bible as third grader...

Lots of occasions to fall off plan but I persevered and did not stray ! I am grateful or strength as often it gets shaky !!

Looking forward to a great week !

Sometimes you can get into a week or two of fluctuation with no rhyme or reason. I used to post graphs of my weight it would fluctuate so much! So while it may be unsettling, it passes.

Hey there, just dropping in to say howdy. Glad to hear that you are feeling better about things now. You and your family are still in our prayers. You are doing very well being able to stay on plan with all that you are going through. Keep up the great work!

WARNING :: THIS COULD BE BORING FOR SOME OF YOU !!

I thought I would post all of the things I hate about being overweight so that I can look at it along my journey and remember to never go back !

1) Tight elastic waist underwear
2) Loss of energy
3) Wearing elastic waist pants-in brown black, and navy
4) Having no energy
5) Huffing and Puffing everywhere
6) Being depressed, discouraged and downhearted
7) Having little self-esteem

Sweating all the time
9) Having no energy to take a hike
10) feet hurting
11) No choice in footwear due to fat feet
12) Being Cranky- when I have no one to blame but me
13) Socially feeling like a freak-the staring could almost kill me
14) Not fitting in movie seats comfortably
15) Having no energy !

Okay I've listed 15...There are probably more, but that's it for now...

The only one that has started to change is the energy piece...I have a little more than I did when I started...

Have a great day all !

The footware one really hit me. I had never been fat before and suddenly all these expensive shoes in my closet wouldn't fit. Then my foot grew a size so it didn't matter as much. The only nice shoes I could find were Cole Haan G Series Ballerina flats. They were 150 a pair but had Nike Air technology so they were so incredibly comfortable and because they were ballet flats they didn't have to fit most of my fat foot. I still have two pairs I wear.

Not being able to be comfortable in public seating is the one that hits me square in the face. I just hate when I have to find a seat on the edge or even in the handicap spaces so that my big butt and hips will fit in the chairs.

Thanks for posting that - - I think we all need to make lists like that in order to keep our eyes on the prize.

I think Joleen must be sending me her compliance strength !! I am renewed and re-dedicated to seeing this through... I have had a rough past few weeks and have a new outlook on my life...

Thanks to all of you, and Joleen Sue ! (Our Queen with the Tiara!)

Having a great day...Feeling good...Having my L&G with a friend at dinner tonight at a place called Houlihan;s...Any one ever hear of it? Look forward to a nice salad with chicken on the side.

Heard of it but never been. My daughter and I went to the Quarter Horse Congress with a dear friend of ours on Saturday. On the way home we stopped at Ruby Tuesday's. I got the salad bar with the the turkey minis. Just took the turkey patties off the buns and crumbled them over my salad YUM!!! The turkey was GREAT - highly recommended for anyone who has a RT around.

Have a great girl's night Pam. You are doing very well and you deserve an on plan treat!
