I'm really going to do my best to keep busy at night. I realize now that the difference between last year at this time and now is that I used to stay busy at night. I didn't have bad foods in my house and was really working hard at this. My band is too loose and I'm not watching my portion control. Not a good combination.

I'd like to go to the meeting at the Faulkner, not the Brigham, simply because of the parking stuff. Anyone else able/willing to go??? Please don't make me go alone again! :w00t:

Paige....

My name is Holly (by the way!:tongue2:). I am planning on going to the support group meeting at the faulkner! I know I am not "really" part of the group...yet....but I would like to hear the trials and tribulations you all go through. I put it on my calendar!:w00t:

Excellent, Holly. Barring some unforseen work issue, I'll be there!

In the event ya'll notice that I've changed my screen name, I thought I'd explain. I had the same screen name as my e-mail address for the longest time.....and some guy I met on line Googled me and came up with THIS site. Not exactly how I want him to find out. I felt rather exposed to say the very least. So...suffice it to say, I decided in case anyone else opted to do the same, it would just be easier to change my name. Hope that doesn't seem crazy!!

Enjoy the snow!! :w00t:

Hey everyone, i'm planning to be at the monday faulkner meeting... hope to see you guys there!

what time is the meeting at the faulkners and where

Monday, December 14th at 6:00 at the Faulkner.

Would be so great to see you guys!!!

Hi everyone. I'm thinking i should go to the meeting. It would be nice to be around people who are going through all the same junk as I am right now. feeling pretty low about myself at this point. I'm still doing "bad" things (eating wise). Still not exercising either. Keep telling myself tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow! This time of year is always hard for me. Ya know the darker days & being stuck inside is hard for everyone.

I know where you are!! I finally did it today. I put my scale away in the closet. I just can't deal with it right now. I'm frustrated that I've gained weight and I can't seem to get rid of it. I've promised that I will be kinder to myself this year.....so it starts now. :scared2:

TOMORROW night is the meeting at the Faulkner. Anyone up for it?

this is becoming so annoying, every month I plan o comig to the meeting and something comes up last minute - now I have a social engagement that I need to attend. I was really looking forward to seeing you all - but I guess I have to hope that next month will be better.

anyone going to the brigham?

Tova
