I am so jealous of you. I want to be that close! Go look at the before and after pics. That is what I do when I start to feel guilty about spending the money on myself. I look through that thread and I know I am doing the right thing! Is there anyone who has said negative comments about your weight before? If so think of them and hang tuff, and most importantly think of your new healthy, happy life that is just around the corner. Here is a story about a lady I work with that is why i said that comment about anyone saying anything about your weight. I walk a few times a week at lunch with this gal, she is the type of person that is always talking about someone else, she is never happy, and she knows everything. Anyway the other day she came into my office to wait for me to put my tennis shoes on and saw a picture that I have hanging on my bulletin board it was of me and my two bosses on my 30th birthday... 8 years ago. Good grief! Well she said was that picture taken when you were taking all those diet pills? I said what? When, and no it was not. She then said well that does not even look like you anymore. I was like ok, thanks. I mean what do you say to that? What a hag. So I decided that when I start losing I am going to give all my larger size cloths to her:heh: . How do you think she will feel then? Mean isn't it, but I have too, she always has something rude to say. Sweet victory will be mine! :welldoneclap: Anyway hang in there! <o:p></o:p>

Does anyone know why most posts get scrambled like this?

Hey Angie,

it will be your turn soon enough hon! & as for your work colleague....well if she ever says anythig to you again like that, just say there is nothing wrong with me, what gives you the right to be so dame right rude about how I look now, how dare you! & give her a frozen shoulder (metaphorically speaking!) I hate obnoxious people like that!

Tracy,

I was trying to create a google account so I could update the spreadsheet and I got this message back

"We're sorry, angie.d.rogers@us.army.mil does not have permission to access this spreadsheet". Was I doing something wrong? :welldoneclap:

I dunno....... its all an experiment.. let me see if I can change a setting.

I just sent you an invite to collaborate on the sheet... hopefully that is what it takes. (I used your email posted below)

Ok. I haven't got it yet. I will let you know when I get in. Thanks.

I think I updated it. I am going to go back in and see if it took my changes.
