Best wishes for a speedy recovery. You are a trooper.

Whining is totally permitted when you feel as bad as you do and you are such a giver to your family. Plus, think how well you have done despite feeling crappy!

Feeling a bit better this morning, I think I my hearing is a little less muffled. No earaches woke me during the night (wonderful!!). I think the darn germs are slowly 'leaving the building'. I hope so.

Have a great day!

Glad you are feeling a bit better and dropped that pesky pound.

[Tawanda]

152# !! 60 pounds gone!

Unca, if you are reading this, will you update my club status to the 60# club? Thank you so much!

I am thrilled to get my 60# club label back! It made me sad to have to change it from 60# down to 30# months ago, but what a thrill to be able to be able to have it back!

Today, I am 70# lighter than my highest weight. That weight (222#) was 102# heavier than I weighed 6 weeks after the birth of my second child. At that time in my life, I was active, fit and .....well, about 30 years younger, too. I weighed 122# when we were building this house, about 22 years ago. Still was active, fit and ..... younger. Life became more complex (bad/stressful stuff happened in our lives) then my father was diagnosed with cancer (he was only 57). I began handling life by eating, stopped exercising.....and the weight climbed fast. I look back and am so disappointed in my choices that affected my health.....and my looks. I gained 102#, put my health at jeopardy, did damage to a knee joint (because of the excess weight), knocked my self-esteem down, wasted 15 years being sad/mad at myself for my constant poor choices and stretched my skin out so much and for so long that it is (probably) never going to 'fit' my frame again. I don't know why I did it to myself. I'm sad that I didn't care enough about myself to stop the destructive over eating and that I wasted so many years in the vicious cycle.

Anyway....I just need to remember that I am in control and that I have the tools to keep myself at a healthy weight.

Eyes still ucky, coughing up a lung (LOL), ears still plugged (but they don't hurt as badly)....this germ has got to be getting tired of hanging around in my body?! I feel for the next person who it attacks!

[bikipatra]

CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! woo-hoo!!! Sorry we both feel like crap!

[oksoonergirl26]

I really hope nothing is contagious over the internet! Sounds like everyone has the crud in some form or fashion. T-your skin will shrink back, maybe not all the way but it will reduce and kudos to you for your determination.

[Tawanda]

First off---Thanks Unca for fixing my club status. Makes me smile just to see that 60 there once again.

Biki, hope you are feeling better.

Okgal....wash your hands and spray the computer with Lysol.....you never can tell if the cold germs are small enough to travel across the internet.

Weight this morning 152#. According to my FitDay records, I'm losing 2.08# a week on average. Nice. Hopefully in 3 weeks I'll be back at my goal weight.

The pink eye has returned, the ears are less painful and I think things are less muffled, although that one is hard to tell. Still coughing, blowing,..... yep, spreading germs left and right (truly trying not to).

Guess that is it.....

Hope Katie was able to see a doctor and will be feeling better soon.

[Joy]

Hope you can make it to the doc or clinic for some med to clear up your current spell.

regards,
joy

Back up .5# today, just like last Monday. Weird! 152.5#

Still have all the same symptoms but they seem to be letting up a little more each day. Hearing still muffled, still need to carry kleenex, eyes still need to be washed out immediately in the a.m.....yeah, I'm a nice mess.... Ugh! LOL

I'm babysitting and have no car (another family member has it as their car is in the shop--just like DH's was last week). I have the oldest, highest mileage vehicle, but guess which one is not in the shop. I hate being left without a car...but then with 2 small children, I wouldn't be doing much running around anyway. Oh well....
