Topic: Thursday August 20th share and care
Hello everyone! Hope your day is going well. I know mine is. My cat Eva, had 6 beatiful new babies last night. They are so cute. Mama and babies are doing well. My daugter has named them Uno, Mickey, Minnie(cause we are going to disney) Moo, Oreo, and Spot? I can't remember the last one.  

Things are going well weight loss wise. I am excited to get to the 220's before Travis comes home. That is my goal. I had my first OMG moment yesterday. I went to Lane Bryant to buy a coming home outfit for Travis and I put on a beautiful dress in a size 18/20. Well, it fit perfect and the lady said try a 14/16. Now, you must know that LB ladies know me and my kids by name....LOL. Well, I tried the damn thing on and to my surprise, IT FIT!! I don't think I have seen that size since before high school and I know my hubby has never seen that size. Life is good.

Love ya'll

Devon

Topic: RE: I don't get it!
Secret pals are assigned every 3 months.  As a pal you are required to buy the person assigned to you a gift of at least $10 every month and contact that person several times a week.  The whole idea is to support each other.  You can use snail mail, PM or email to make contact.  You will have one person assigned to you and you will be assigned to someone else.  That way you make 2 new friends every 3 months.

We are glad to have new people, but, only sign up if you are committed to do what is expected of you as we have had to drop several people for not holding up their end of the deal.

We will be assigning new pals the end of September so watch the board for notices of when sign up time is.

If you have any additional questions, please feel free to PM me.

So I'm looking around the forums and stumble across this board.  But I don't get it!

What are secret pals / what's this board about?

Gracias!

Today was good. Hot, but not to bad. Had my weekly weigh in and I am down to 233! I lost 5lbs this last week. Thought that was  great.

Eating is going ok. Just gotta remember to eat. That is hard for me. My husband comes home next weekend, so all is good.

Hope everyone has a great night.

OH! My baby, Mikaylah, Lost her first tooth today. SO I have to stay up for fairy duty. LOL

Night everyone

I hope you have a great time Renee!!

I had a great day today! Just after surgery I applied to carry the torch in the Olympic relay across Canada. Well, last night into my inbox came an email that said that I had moved on to the second round!!! One step closer to that awesome dream! So, I had a couple of forms to fill out and I need to get them faxed out tomorrow before the end of the business day to still be in the running for it! Then in about 4 weeks, I'll get another email telling me the next steps. Yay!! So excited!! Better get off my ass and start doing the couch to 5K again....LOL

Hi! Doing well today. Right now it is raining, so it has cooled down quite a bit. Hit 93 today. Hazy, hot and humid heat wave.

Eating has been good, except my pouch is not liking what I am feeding it lately. Not eating anything new or unusual. I am going to do liquids tomorrow and see what happens. There are so many bugs going around at work. I probably picked up one of tham. I think the anatomy change from the bypass makes people like us more susceptable to these things. I'm going to ask the surgeon his opinion on that when I see him next mont.

Of course I am also battling the call of the jar of peanut butter and the bag of choclate chips. They are trying to get me to mix them toether and eat them. Good thing my pouch is saying otherwise and helping me win. Do I see an old habit trying to sneak in? You bet! Stuffing my face for no reason except that I am bored and tired and watching TV instead of getting some sleep. Used to do it all the time.

HEAD HUNGER SUCKS!! CRAVINGS SUCK MORE!!

I am going to buy a journal tomorrow and start recording what I am eating. I am also going to record how I am feeling when I get the urge to binge and try to detect patterns. It may help me get things back on track better.
Oh well. Have a great evening!
Love ya, Deb

Hello from Maine.  :-)

I have some "stay in the room so you don't melt" time so I thought I would pull out the laptop.

It is brutally hot here.  It has never been higher than 75 and yesterday on the way here it was 100+ and then when we arrived here it was 94.  Today was only 90 and tomorrow should be about 85.  Phew!

I am trying to make smart choices with my eating.  Drinking tons of water, no fried anything and small portions.

Hoping to have a loss when I return!  :-)

How are all of you doing?

Sounds good to me too but I'm mostly online late at night.  I will try to work it into my schedule if we can come up with a time that is good for all.

Rona is an unreadable woman and was kind enough to answer some questions for myself this week.  For all of those involved in this board, you know how wonderful of a woman she is.
