    Yea! Nita is back among the living again. She was feeling pretty crappy yesterday, anesthesia took quite a while to dissapate but she is 'eating' and drinking and as soon as she can get fluid intake high enough she can go home. She got hardly anything in yesterday at all but today is going full steam ahead!

    just got back from seeing Nita in the hospital. Did three laps with her and she was pooped out. She is still getting over the haze of anesthesia and feeling kind of sick but she knows that will pass. It was great to see her. ~ Robin

    Just spoke with Nita - 7 hours after her scheduled surgery time. She only got to her room about 2 hours ago. She is still foggy and feels like a truck hit her but has already done a lap around the nurses station and is looking forward to seeing me tomorrow. ~ Robin

Up 36 but back on track
on March 19, 2013 2:02 pm

I really do love to eat, so back to Weight Watchers I went.  I really enjoy the support at the meetings.  I eat a lot 3 years out, this program keeps me in line.

Downward Spiral
on November 8, 2012 6:03 am

This paragraph is really just for me, I already KNOW the answers. I am up 25 lbs with no end in sight.  Walking all over NYC two weeks ago  where we walked up to 8 miles a day didnt even budge my weight.  I am grazing and snacking, while my co-workers  are doing well and losing weight.  I honesty think that is why I am on this downward spiral.  You know with some people, you tell them good news and it depresses them?   I think that is me.  My work clothes dont fit but my eating is out of control.  Trouble is I am the only one who can control it, and I am not.

I'm Doomed
on September 6, 2012 1:54 pm
Didnt Charlie Brown always use to say that?  Well, here I am, 2.5 years out and up 21 lbs.  To be fair, I need to lose 18, but it seems monumentous and I feel out of control.  I am beseiged by carbs, chips, oh yes, I ck for a low carb content before I buy them, but I am not supposed to buy them!
What I am changing?  Adding more excercise.  Back to two shakes a day.  trying to get more water in. 

I dont want to be one of those who our friends said, "yah, she lost a lot of weight but gained it all back."
No way.

Yes, I feel doomed!

The Support on this site is phenomenal!
on June 9, 2012 8:26 am
I want to thank you for your responses to my blog about failing and Weight watchers.  You were so kind and so supportive, I was overwhelmed.  I am taking your advice.  I quit WW this morning, began the day with water and protein, I will also get my walking in today.  I dont know what I was thinking joining WW, spending all that money per month plus adding processed foods and carbs into my life!  I have my head on better this morning.  I had a great breakfast full of protein, already have a great start on my water and vites, in my head I feel better already.  I am using my fitbit to track my 10,000 steps a day plus tracks my food intake.  I feel very  impowered!  Next step, go back to my support group on Wed nights.  I have to drive far to get there, but it will be worth it! Thanks again!

2 1/2 year failure?
on June 7, 2012 1:52 pm
Well, I went to Weight Watchers and it has introduced me to many things I should not have begun to eat.  Popcorn, low carb breads and chips, sugar free candy and instead of losing, I have eaten myself up to 132 or so from my low low of 117.  My actual normal weight should be about 125.  I am in that space of knowing what I should be doing but not doing it.  If not for walking on the treadmill every day, I would be up even more.  My head is not in the right place.  How could I do this to myself?  I am not sure how to set myself straight.
I know the drill, water, protein and excercise.  If you were new I would be telling you that.
