Ohhh, I am so jealous!! A week in the south.. March is SUCH a lovely month in the South too..! I used to LOVE March/April in Augusta, GA (my hometown), all the magnolias and dogwoods were in bloom, it's so beautiful!

Good for you for getting rid of an enabler as well.. I know that must have been a difficult decision, but it definitely sounds like you made the right choice.

Keep on truckin girl.. you're sooo close to 80# club! Fantastic!!

Well, here in Ohio we are seeing the sun, but we certainly are NOT feeling it. It got so cold last night that we decided to put the horses in which we don't do very often. That was my first time back in the barn since my surgery. Not to worry, I was careful and didn't get hurt. I miss the barn so much!

Weighed in today and realized I earned membership into another club! 80 pounds since Sept 21st. and I have been less than compliant recently. Now I just sit and imagine where I would be if I had gotten compliant from the get go after my surgery. Oh well, it won't do any good to obsess over the past since I can do nothing about it. All I can do now, is focus on the future and use this high from my new club to carry me through.

28 days and counting until my first vacation alone in my adult life! San Antonio here I come!!!

Thanks everybody. There is no way I would have made it this far without the love and support (and the occasional kind kick in the @$$) that I have gotten here. 2 more pounds will put me a the half way mark.

I know this weekend will be hard to stay on plan. My daughter and I are going on a road trip to the Pittsburgh area for the 4 day weekend. I loaded up on snacks for her and her friend. I am planning on bringing all the Medigrub I need (including pickles, celery et al...). Usually when I am with my daughter I am compliant because of how proud I am of making her proud of me.

Anyway - thanks a million!

I remember when I reached that half-way mark ... it felt like the proverbial "the rest is all down hill!" In only 2# you will feel that same rush ... and then ONEDERLAND! Yay for you!! :woohoo:

I have already made some "toe covers" for the toes on my right foot (the one in the cast). We were -20 windchill this morning.

Hey Jo are you close to 7 Springs?

Well, I have finally gotten through a third day COMPLETELY on plan. Even though I am struggling more with emotional eating than with being hungry, I am hoping that being in ketosis will at least get me in the right mental state to stay OP this time. When I know that I am in ketosis, I find it easier to stay on plan since I know cheating will throw me out. If I know I am not there yet, I figure I am not really hurting anything YET. I know; this is totally bogus thinking and a mind set that I need to change SOON. Every day I am not 100% on plan is another day I have wasted in this journey toward my final goal.

Thanks again to everyone for the congrats on making the 80 pound club. I really don't think I deserve it since it is almost by accident while not being faithful to the plan, but I am not going to argue the situation.

GIRLFRIEND=80#'s is 80#'s no matter how you got there. I can't believe I missed your huge accomplishment! YOU GO GIRLIE! I'm sooooooo proud of you!

Can't wait til you get here! I'm so done playing around...this last week has kicked my butt right back on plan 100%. We CAN DO THIS lady! I know we can!

rodeomom · by **rodeomom** » February 12th, 2008, 10:20 am

HEY! I just thought of something!!! I have always said that when all this surgery stuff on my ankle is over with that I am going to get a tatoo there to cover some of the scarring. Know of any good tat parlors in your area???

Thanks, I know that I should be happy about 80 pounds and I am REALLY. I just kinda feel a little "on the sly" about it since I managed the last few pounds without even being on plan. NOT to fear though, I refuse to give up that membership unless it is to get into the 90# club.

Still working on those 16's. Maybe by March 10th, but maybe not.
