WHAT'S NEW WEEKEND EDITION

I am going to try something new. Since there aren't to many of us "reading" the board every day I may not do this "every day". However - if you all show that you are reading and responding then I would love to keep this up and going. I frequent the Over 50 Forum on OH. No...I'm not 50. Nor am I anywhere near 50. HOwever, the members there have taken me in under their wings. I have truely enjoyed that forum. However, there are many days that I don't feel like I "belong". For the most part though - I love them all. So the purpose of this thread is to "post something new" each day. Whatever it may be. WLS, FAMILY, CHURCH, OR whatever it is that is new in your life. Someone a long time ago started it on the OFF forum and I love it. Soo...here goes it. What is New for YOU Today??? For me...I noticed last night that I was able to lay in the bathtub w/my arms at my sides and STILL have water on the sides w/room. Now that may sound trivial. However, it shows to me that even though I may not be loosing weight as fast as I was - it is still coming off in other ways. I started doing daycare. Today I have 4 kids. 3 of the 4 it is their first day. So I have had 3 little boys ages 2-4 crying off and on for mommy. My baby that is 3 months old - well he has been a perfect little baby until today. I think the commotion and everything w/the other kids has interupted his "style". He is temporary till mom finds someone else. I don't want a baby - and am only helping her out. On Monday I start w/1 full time kid-one of the little boys that is here today. He is 3 yrs old. . The other 2 boys (brothers) they are drop in kids only for a few months. then over the next month or so I have another little girl who is 3.5 starting. So life shall be interesting. Take Care and Love Always, Gala

Ooh Gala. I love this idea. Count me in. I check the boards every single day to see if someone has something to say and I try to respond to most of them. My responses may be trivial to your "What's new today" but I WILL participte. OK. What's new for me today is a milestone. When I weighed myself this morning I weighed 144 lbs. The last time I weighed 144 pounds was in the 7th grade when they weighed all of us in P.E. I was so humiliated that I weighed so much more than anyone else. And of course they weighed us in front of everyone else and wrote our weight down. This is the first time since 7th grade that I've weighed this least. Big mile stone for me. I have a question about how this daily post works. Do we all reply each day on this single post or does someone start a new post each day and everyone just adds to it for that day? Thanks for carrying the idea over to this board. I've missed the interaction here. Melody

It can be done in a few different ways on how we "respond". The first person that started this thread way back last year would respond to each individual post. You and I know that takes a ton of time. And with just a few posters here that would be okay. Now that Patti is doing the post on the OFF forum she responds each morning to the posts the day before. Here is the link from yesterday's post. http://www.obesityhelp.com/morbidobesity/amosforums/over_50/postdetail/40953.html?vc=0 Now today she didn't have time in the AM and so she just made a quick "start" to the thread and told what her day was like. Others followed in. I don't know how old you are. But come on over to the Over 50 forum. I'm not 50 nor will I be anytime soon. So you're welcome regardless. Jump in. Really!! I mean in. Tell them I sent you. Take Care!! And as far as your weightloss. Great Job!!! You are doing great. I hope you are feeling better and better w/each lb-inch that leaves your body. Hang in there. Love, Gala

What is New for YOU Today??? I dont know what to say on what is new. I dont start my new job until March 21 now because the trainers both took off spring break week on the 14th to be with their kids, so I am stuck taking a week off - which would be great except its a week with no pay. -Sherrie
