I agree with everyone else - 8 is great! I have never ever thought about an 8. I will take feeling bigger than I actually am if I'm in an 8

No, seriously, you have done so well for so long that another mini plateau is not going to keep you down for long, I'm sure. Keep it up!

Size 8 jeans ought to make you realize how far you have come! Even if they are a little tight when you put them on, you did put them on and wear them all day! That would make me very excited because I haven't worn size 8 for 10 years!

Keep up the good work. You have come a long way T!

Size 8 WOW. I don't think I ever wore a size 8 except for a shoe size.

When you talked about "babies" it reminded me on mine. I have 23 year old boy girl twins. They were my babies. I also have a 27 year old son.

They were a lot of fun. Still are.

Have a great day

157.5 again today. I'm still working on my first bottle of water which isn't anything to brag about.

I am determined that I will drink a minimum of 64 oz today!! And that not one little bitty bite of non-compliant food will cross these lips until I'm at goal and doing transition/maintenance. I've become a MF slacker and I'm not proud of it one bit.

Babies are still not feeling well, now they are hurling

It is amazing how healthy they were for the first 6 months of their lives and these last 6 months have been one germ after another. I've got a doozy of a cold that began yesterday (thank you dear g'kids! :lol:

) -- they are just cute little germ carriers and I keep catching every germ they get. Incredible and we're all a bit tired of it (their parents also caught the germs :lol:

so it is misery loves company all the way around). The babies are napping right now so I'm going to go take advantage of the quiet 'free' time to get some things done that I can't do while they are awake.

I know it's awful, Tawanda, but it is normal. My daughter was once sick for about 4 months straight - one bug after another - and the doctor said it was perfectly normal, and there was nothing to do but wait it out. They are building up their baby immune systems, that's all! Does this by chance coincide with them being weaned (if they were breastfed)? Because now they don't have Mom's antibodies in that case, so they are more susceptible to things. It will pass, stay strong!

The scale finally moved downward--155.5 this morning. I did put one 'nibble' in my mouth (a tiny piece off of the whole wheat bread I was tearing up for the babies) but I spit it out when I realized that I didn't want nor need a nibble. So, made it through the day compliant. I also had my supplements right on time but only drank half of the water I planned on drinking (I'm horrible with the water drinking!!).

Congrats on the loss!!!

OK
In my book you are officially the grammie of the day, week, month , year. Not only do you take care of them, you share their colds. :bighug:

Tawanda · by **Tawanda** » August 19th, 2007, 7:56 am

155.5 this morning--so down 1.5# for the week. I'll take it (last week it was only .5# loss for the previous week). Yesterday was another 'good' MF day, except for the water drinking. Wonder if I'd be at goal by now if I had drank my water every day and stayed away from having extra bars some days along with avoiding the cashews, nibbles and bites? Darn me anyway!

I've got infant nursery duty during church today. After church we are bringing the twins home for the afternoon so that their parents can go out for lunch and to do some shopping to celebrate their anniversary.

Hope everyone has a great Sunday.

HIYA ms T
1.5# is awesome especially when you do not have that much to lose. Also wanted to say you look <img src="http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/23/23_5_104.gif" alt="SmileyCentral.com" border="0"><img border="0" src="http://plugin.smileycentral.com/http%253A%252F%252Fimgfarm%252Ecom%252Fimages%252Fnocache%252Ftr%252Ffw%252Fsmiley%252Fsocial%252Egif%253Fi%253D23%252F23_5_104/image.gif">
Oh and by the way You are an awesome Grandma. I wish my grandparents were as active in my life. That you are in your grandkids lives.

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for your comments, it is fun to come and see that others have visited and 'talked' with me.

This morning I was up a whole blessed pound (156.5)! What is up with that one? Arugh!!

I know it is water weight, but still, nothing I ate should have done it to me and so I'm having a tiny tantrum

this morning.

I'm babysitting my oldest and youngest g'children today while their mom has some dental work done and I'm also taking their 16 month old dog back to them. We had their dog here since Thursday while they went camping. After babysitting, I'll do some errands and then come home to have a few hours to myself before DH arrives home from work. YES!!

Tomorrow, Wednesday and Friday is babysitting again.....not sure what Thursday holds (I'm not looking at the calendar because I don't want to know that the day is earmarked already by something---yeah, I'm in denial). I'm hoping there is nothing on the calendar so that I can have the entire day to do whatever I want.

(greedy thing that I am).

So.......off to start the day............

Hope it is a good one for everyone.

holberry · by **holberry** » August 20th, 2007, 7:22 am

DonnaS · by **DonnaS** » August 20th, 2007, 7:50 am

Wow, is it already cool up there where you two are at? Send some cool weather my way. Hope you ladies have a very fine day!

Ms. T you may need to put in for a vacation to get some rest! Your such and good grammy.

Tawanda · by **Tawanda** » August 21st, 2007, 5:32 am

156 this morning. .5 down from yesterday and still .5 over Saturday & Sunday's weight.

This too shall pass......but I'd sure love to see a few days in a row with a loss on the scale.

Not asking for much......a pound a day would be acceptable. :shock:

Raining again this morning. (Donna, HB & I live in the often wet, people mainly rusty instead of tan, Pacific Northwest. I love the green and in order to have that......you gotta put up with the rain....and we've had plenty of rain this summer--or so it seems.

Babies here today and tomorrow....so that will be how my days are spent.
