This is my excitement for the day. Hold on to yourselves...... I found a new small little scrub brush and I got in the shower and cleaned all around the shower door and under it. I'm pooped. Absolutely wore myself out. I've had a protein drink. Lunch will be soon and than a Doc appointment with the hubby. Than off to work.

Good Morning and welcome Mimi. I certainately could have done without all the drama from my family yesterday. I know there will be some leftover for today. I still need to have a talk with the sister. I just need to keep my eating emotion under control. Other than that I have to work this afternoon. I'll probably get outside and do a little yardwork. And take a walk with the doggie. Jenn. I wish so many times that I was a DIY'er. I love to watch all of those shows. I probably would be really good at it. My Dad was one. I just have never ran a saw or any of the power tools. Does an electric screwdriver count? My husband is no DIY'er and it's easier to hire someone to come and do it than to hire someone to come and fix what he tried to do. My hats off to you. TracyK. Hugs to you girl. It has been a tough year for you. You'll get it together and be back to the losing side again. Hang in there. I've got a big weekend ahead of me. Hubby's B-day is saturday and our annual Fall Fun Fest is here. You know what that means- Funnel Cake. Yup I'm gonna do it. The next door neighbors and I will go and share one. I love this time of year. Cooler days, chilly evenings, Apple picking, pumpkin bread making, Pots of chili, football. Everyone have a great day.

Hello Jolly and welcome. Poor Patrick Swayze. What a true fighter.

Hey. My day was going great till I got off work and had to deal with my sister and her kids. I HATE DRAMA. And that is what they are all about. So my very good eating day got a little hairy about 30 minutes ago. I hit my hubby up for his stash and got about a cup of cheetos from him. I'm still under 1000 calories so far for the day. I just hate that I wasted those calories. Dinner will be a healthy one. Josie, have a safe trip. Jenn, where are you taking your toilet to? I finally got it half way thru. LOL. Cari, congrats on the weight loss. That is just what I'm hoping for again. A nice slow steady loss. Keep up the good work. Off to my Monday night class..I'll check in later.

Good Morning girls. Up and getting ready for a long day. I think I will grab my journel and try once again to use it. I did it for about 3 months last year and it does seem to help. I just need to be honest when using it. I'll check in after I get off work. Make it a good one. Jenn, try this link. Kansas City, MO (2009) - General Donation

Hey Tracy, glad your home and safe. I missed you. I just got home from spending 4 hours with about 20, 5 year olds. Holy Cow. Where do they get so much energy? Was it the cake and pop? Well, they are with their parents now and I am in my nice quiet house. I did better on my eating today. I said better, not good. But it is a start. Tomorrow I will have my nose to the grindstone on this. Our annual "Walk from Obesity" is this weekend and Hubby and I need to get in gear. I hope everyone had a great weekend.

Oh Jenn, You don't know how wonderful it was to read your post. I worry about you all the time. How refreshing to hear that you had a great evening and not one staying at home worrying about Kev. Good for you for getting out and living. I do admire you so much for what you have accomplished. As much as I would like for you to send me your MoJo, I know it is something that I have to do for myself. I just can't seem to find that feeling I had when I first started this journey. That newness, the excitement. I remember it well, just can't find it within me right now. A lot of it could be the enviroment that I live in. Having a house full of people that want my pespect but that have no respect for hubby and I. As much as I would love to kick them all out. I just can't. They are my family and I do know soon they will be gone. It will be back to just hubby and I and than I can once again concentrate on me. Put the effort back into me. I know it sounds selfish, but I need to take care of me. I hope Tracy is having a great time. Everyone have a great day. I am off to a birthday party for a 5 year old. I'm taking my 4 1/2 year old grandniece with me. She'll be able to get out and play in the park with the rest of the kids. It will be good for both of us.

Well, so much for going to my support group meeting today. The eating is now more out of control. And to top it off, Hubby sent me to Walgreens and I ended up buying a Snickers Ice Cream bar. Holy Cow. What is wrong with me. Jenn, I hope you are having a wonderful time tonight.

Hey Shalee, I've been thinking for weeks about makeing my famous choc-chip oatmeal cookies. But I would be the same way. I would eat to many of them. Even if I freeze them. So right now it's just thinking about it.

Welcome Cari, Sounds like it's been a little rough for you. Hopefully the meds will kick in and you can get on with your weight loss journey. Good Luck.

Way to go, Jenn.

Good Saturday Morning. I'm up and getting ready to go to my monthly support group meeting. I really enjoy going to these. I seem to do real good for about a week afterwards and than fall of again. Maybe they need to have weekly meetings. lol. Not much else going on for the day. They are calling for a slight chance of rain. Can't believe summer is over with. Didn't really get much pool time in. My tan is starting to fade. Let's hope for a short winter. Everyone have a great and wonderful day. Be good to yourselves.

Morning, Up and getting ready to go to my Support Group meeting. I really need it today. Besides, it wiill be good to see everyone. Than I have to work at Church this afternoon. Other that that, I'm free Kat, Garrett a month old? Wow. And Kuddos on DS not moving. Have a great day everyone.

Just about time to call it quits. Tomorrow is our support group meeting. I haven't been for about 3 months now. I really need to go. I do get a lot out of them, and I love seeing everyone else. Have a good evening and I'll check in tomorrow.

1. Life isn't fair, but it's still good. 2. When in doubt, just take the next small step. 3. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone. 4. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends and parents will. Stay in touch. Boy, I sure wish I could get pass #3.

Welcome Josie and now we have 2 Texas Girls. Tracy will be excited when she gets back. Jenn. I've been out of the dating thing for over 27 yrs. I wouldn't have a clue as to what to do. Maybe do what feels right to you. But one thing I do suggest is, take it slow. Other than that, I do agree that you need to get out more and have fun. Just what the Doc ordered.

Pam, I can't even last 5 minutes on the Eliptical. No matter what music I have on. It just kicks my butt. I haven't even tried it in over a year. Too afraid to try to get on it again. Hubby and I have been riding the bikes together at the gym. We do about a mile and a half together. We've talked about buying bikes to ride around the neighborhood. I'd like to lose a little more weight before I do that. LOL.

Welcome Julie. You've come to the right place. Believe me when I say we know what a stuggle it is and at being at that point of not budging. I've been banded for almost 3 years now and have lost over 190 pounds. I just can't seem to move that scale anymore. It all started about 10 months ago. I hit a plateau and can't seem to get over that hurdle. I have tried so many things, boot camp, pshyciatric (sp?) counseling even a new gym. I've had countless fills and talks with my Doc. I've read books, magazine articles and Oprah. I don't know what it will take but I'm not giving up. I will beat this and make my goal. Feel free to ask us anything. We have been there, done that.

Jenn, Awesome job on the weight loss. But even more awesome is the compliment. I bet that felt good. I'm also a walker, just wish I could do more of it. I would walk from here to N.Y. and back if my ankles would let me. I love, love, love to walk. Keep up the good work.

Fair Daze is this weekend and next weekend is the Fall Fun Fest. You think I might be able to get my funnel cake in?

Where's Terry? I haven't seen her here for a long time. I see her on FB. Hope she post soon.

I also have a wide variety of music. Mostly Eagles. But I like a real upbeat fasttemp to keep me energized. Something I can keep in pace with. Jane, It's so easy to download. Just a little time consuming.

1). Family Affair, Mary J. Blige 2). I told you so, Keith Urban 3). Cherry Bomb, John Cougar Mellencamp 4). Rockstar, Nickleback 5). I kissed a girl, Katy Perry 6). Disturbia, Rhianna 7). I like it Rough, Lady Gaga 8). Hold up my Heart, Brooke White Not always those because I switch it up depending on my mood. But I usually want something with a good beat to it.

Tracy, Have a great time, take pics and most of all..... Respect the Band.

Morning Sweet Girls. Ugh, trying to wake up so I can go to the Gym with Hubby. Tracy, you gonna be able to go on your weekend trip? I hope so. It sounds like so much fun. Jenn, I hope today is a better day for you. How are the kids doing in school, they having a good start? Janie, I still need a haircut really bad. Oh, also I got a text from you and I think you might have meant to sent it to TracyKS. I sure do hope her and Robbie can meet up with us. Everyone have a great day and I'll check in soon.
