This is my weeks worth of meal -not bad but still need some improvement. Next week cruise, going to try my best but the alcohol content might due me in LOL.

Brooke- sorry we can't get you better, the ear problem is a hard one I had that 2 years ago and after 4x of going to the doctor he advised me to see a specialist in which they ran numerous tests and that is when they found out I had Meneire's Disease, Like a equilibrium problem only I have extensive water in the canal in of the inner ear. Gave me a low dose water pill and knock on wood I've not had any problems since. Good Luck with the guy.

Jess - it's your scale they should let yiou join in. Our City is also doing the biggest loser but it costs too much, so I did not join. I have found out there is only 2 people in the race as everyone thought like me too much money. we have to pay $25.00 up front then at every weigh-in $1.00 for every pound gained and at the end you have to pay the top 2 winners their percentage of weight. This could get costly.

I think I need to eat more snacks but not hungry usually grab a glass of ice water and that makes me full and sometimes bloated. I'm trying to stay away from fast food but sometimes I cannot help myself.

10 days to go I am on the home stretch for my Hawaiian Cruise. I cannot wait but about 4 weeks ago I met someone now I don't want to leave him behind as I will miss him terribly. I wish I could hide him in my suitcase LOL. Thanks to all that have been supportive of me!

Kim - glad you had a nice cruise

Brooke- you are doing great, we all have moments, so don't pull yourself down in the negativity. BE POSITIVE!

Jess- I hate when skinny people try to help you out with weight issues. I have one of those too and she can eat anything she wants and still reamins to be the same size as we were in high school, they have no clue, even though I know they mean well.

I'm trying to log my food journal on her to make me accountable. It seems I am off a day but I work 3rds so i do not count the next day until I wake up - thanks

Welcome Joanne - I am also a dispatcher working 3rds for now. We work 8 hr shifts thank god I don't think I could do 12 all the time. For sickness and vacation we do 12 but that is here and there. Good suggestions. You'll get their in time. Good Luck on your diet journey!

Brooke- Thanks for being jealous for me. I have had so much on my plate that I am just now deciding what outfits to pack. Sorry work is not going so well. You are amazing fitting in your exercise daily. I try but sometimes it justy does not happen.

Annette- sorry about your friend's funeral. I think exercise is easier to do once kids go back to school easier to be on a schedule. Plus nothing really exciting happens in the winter months.

Kim- Glad you and Tommy get to go on a cruise. Once you are back you will be able to take off your weight I'm sure. Might have to take Jax for a walk and give your sis a break. They say walking is the best exercise you can do for your body at any age.

Too the others I have not mentioned-good luck in your journey

Hi everyone, Sorry MIA but too much happening this month. Going on a cruise in 16 days and well you guessed it my weight didn't come off like I wanted but that is the fact of life.

So neededless to say I have been getting all my plans in order and others have been adding to my plate of things that need to be done before I go. So I had a couple of minutes to at least read the posts tonight.

Well I bought my new notebook, but nothing is in it yet. Hey one thing at a time LOL

I've been on the internet to try and find some new healthy meals I can make ahead of time and take to work. Also need to get back to my healthy snacks I cAn dO tHiS!!

Well I have not made it through all of the entries. So I will say Congratulations to everyone have a good week!

Brooke-Thanks about the audit -that was stressfull but it is over so know I have been consentrating on my upcoming cruise and then I need to go back and read entries.

I've been on facebook more than here, so I apologize if I am not up to speed yet.

Routine to start soon.

I was on here yesterday and posted it must have went to la la land.

Brooke I agree I need to get back into a routine and jot things down like we used to. I've got out of the habit by being lazy and packing the pounds back on and feel miserable. I guess with the new school year beginning means I should start over too.

Jess- sorry you are so miserable.

Thanks girls for all the positives, just being lazy and figuring out my life. It has been so stressful lately.

Wow new people join everyday, I feel I cannot keep up. We've been busy at work lately and tonight I have a breather so far.

Good Luck to all - Hope this board helps motivate you.

Annette - the spa day was awesome. Yes I am leaving for my cruise on Sept 25th to Hawaii. I have been planning this cruise for almost 2 years now. Cannot believe it is almost here.

Brooke - love your 11 lb comment LOL -sometimes skinny people don't understand.

Hello, Kimmers is fine to call me thats what my family calls me, hence the screen name LOL

Have been eating out of the garden and enjoying every minute of it -fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, sweet corn, pumpkin blossoms, green beans, green peppers. Add a hamburger here and a chicken breast there.

Have not been writing things down nor weighed in but I am getting more compliments. My Mom says I was trying or praying to hard to lose inches and weight that she says when you don't think about it is when the weight falls off. So since I've been lazy I haven't done either of those things and my clothes feel loose.

Stress wise I am feeling better spent Monday at the Spa for 5 hours pampering myself, actually my sister gave me a gift certificate at Christmas, just now using. LOL :)

I'm glad you're all doing well. Thanks Nylrap for your story. Those lapbands scare me.

Well time to get back to work - -Have a great Day :)

Thanks for the replies you made my day :)

All have a great weekend

I feel so guilty about not being on here. But I have to agree with Brooke you probably do not want me on here as I have been going thru some issues and very negative lately!

1st- I cannot get used to a schedule since being on 3rds. (July 1st) I am so L A Z Y! Sometimes I am hungry sometimes I have to force myself to eat.

2nd- cannot get into exercising so I have not been to Curves in 3 weeks, I am so bad. But I have a swimming pool and have been using that along with riding bike and walking so when I force myself to get out of the house I do those things. But me and the couch have been best friends. I want out of this rut. I want my life back. LOL My mom had knee surgery so she has not gone to Curves and now the doctor will not release her to go back so she is quitting and my other workout partner wants to quit because of the hours she can only make it twice a week so I am thinking of quitting but if I do I have to come up with something for winter.

3rd - was having some stress issues at work :( like Brooke it is all politics and working with other females LOL. I think we have it resovled but will find out next week.

4th -because of all the above I have not been writing in my journal and chocolate has been my best friend. But I found a simple pie that is easy to make and not much calories.

I've seen some of you on facebook and I've been posting daily on there. So my friends on here I again apologize for being MIA.

Recipe ~ Heath Bar Pie

1 9 oz cool whip light / or sugar free

1 individual package of Swiss Miss Sugar Free Hot chocolate mix

1 TBSP baking cocoa

1 graham cracker crust

3 Heath bars (or I use 1/2 bag Heath pieces located in bake isle)

Mix all ingredients together and reserve 1/2 of the Heath. sprinkle on top chill for 12 hrs in refrigerator. I also made it with reese's cups. If you get the bigger Cool whip you can add more white on top then sprinkle the Heath. I've done it both ways. Enjoy~

Jess-sorry about your concert and no one to go with

Brooke- I hate needles myself and the one test I had to get every 3 months was a two step process. There was one nurse i will not let touch me again after teh 3rd try I said she was DONE. Then her boss a handsome man came in and took it I did not feel a thing. I asked for him everytime until he got promotion and moved and then my insurance changed and have to go elsewhere but there I have been 3X and the girl ther is just as good. I have never passed out but felt like it a time or too. Once they would not let me leave and drive I had to call a ride and it is 30 min from home. So know what you've been through.

Brooke-I agree with Jess watch who you give your number too. Keep up the good work on your meals. I need to get more motivated as I am feeling like Annette ARGH!

OMG! I Like go to the Lake on my days off and everybody is on. My post says the last I was on was Thurs. but I know I was on here on Fri. Sat was busy lining things up/ doing laundry. Sun/Mon/Tues - Lake

Annette- I think my diet is easier on 3rds except for caffiene. I had myself drining all water or green tea but I need that pop to get me through the night. So it is either pop or coffee.

Jess- Sorry to hear your having such a bad time. Glad you can vent on here, instead of eat.

It worked for awhile then I felt if they can eat it I can too as my mom prepares meals on the heart/diabetic diet for my dad. I see where you are coming from.

Jess- thats great you have been visiting family that is what i hate the most eating all by myself.
