November 1st...D_Day..Want to join me?

[Belle]

Have to say all three greetings...because

don't know when you come in here to read.

Nice of you to read but your suppose to....

TALK! Where are you? Miss you!

[WeirdEyes]

Hey girls! Where is everyone? :confused:

 

I hope all of you are doing well.

 

Check in, please!

 

Hugs,

Sheila

[Belle]

Yes..Guess your right...

"It's you and me"

 

To answer your question from your post.

We had a good time on our trip. nice to

get away and see our friends.

 

Mother is doing pretty good but has her moments.

She doesn't remember everything and gets upset

over things she thinks hasn't been done or wasn't

told about but has been. Plus forgets us visiting

and think we're not seeing her!

I need a cruise..hey I got one coming! Yea!

 

Have a good day!

 

Dear friends where are yiu?

[WeirdEyes]

Every time I've tried to post on this particular thread, it just sits there and spins. I hope that's not an omen. ;)

 

Belle ~ I started the weigh-in thread just now because I didn't see it for yesterday. Are you OK?

 

I hate to hear that your DM is having such a hard time. We dealt with that with my grandmother and I know how frustrating it can be for both parties. It is just so sad. {{HUGS}}

 

John and I are going to the gulf coast for a few days to chill on the beach. It is our anniversary weekend. I'm going to try and eat grilled fish and veggies instead of fried shrimp and french fries. :D

 

I up 8 lbs from May and it is driving me insane! I know I can lose it, but it is really hard adjusting my diet to be conducive to lose weight and to not aggravate my tummy. Bad cards seem to be the one thing that I can eat with no side effects. Too bad that's the food that I do not need to eat. :rolleyes:

 

I hope all of you are doing well. Belle and I sure have been lonely on this thread all by ourselves.

 

Hugs,

Sheila

[Belle]

Happy Anniversary!

Have "fun" at the beach with your husband.

 

Thanks for starting the weigh-in thread. I

just plain forgot because of dealing with my mother.

My mind is going "south" along with my body! lol

 

Quess it's just "you and me kid"..Where is everyone?

Did they give up?

Now I'll be alone, you'll be gone the weekend.

 

Again have a great time. Don't worry about your woe,

you want to have a good "tummy" while your away.

You'll get it off but you just have problems now.

You have done so well. You look great.

 

Hugs and love from me to you and your husband.

[WeirdEyes]

Thank you, Belle for the well wishes. You're such a dear.

 

I guess things with your DM aren't any better. It must be frustrating for you both. Don't you know she is so confused. Poor thing.

 

The weather at the gulf coast is suppose to be lovely. It will be a nice relaxing time.

 

Have a great weekend!

 

Hugs,

Sheila

[Belle]

Welcome Back!

Hope you and your husband had

a great time away. Enjoyed your

"alone time".

 

I'm following in your foot steps,

not the losing weight part but

the "tummy" issues for the last

few weeks. Hope it gets better.

Think it's from stress more than

anything else. Will see.

 

Please come join us...you "oldies"

and "newbies". We need each other,

to help us lose weight. I'm really trying

to eat less, started before problems.

I really have to eat three meals a day

and not a snack and one big meal. That's

been my schedule lately.

 

Everyone have a good week.

[donnaw]

No idea taking a short vacation in October was going to cause so much work and stress!

 

Thinking about all of you but too tired to turn the computer on and exercise when I get home at night. Exercise is winning most of the time and the rest, I just collapse!

 

Sheila, Have Fun!

 

Belle, A belated Happy Birthday and glad the cruise is still on schedule!

 

Baby, Where are you?

 

Carolyn?

 

No time to catch up but thought I would drop in quick to let you know I'm still alive!

 

Have a great evening!

[Belle]

Donna..Great to hear from you

and to know that your alright

just very busy.

When is your cruise? How long?

Thank you for the B wishes. Yes

cruise is on, no matter what! (fingers crossed)

Only a month and a half to go!

 

Sheila..Still resting from your Anniversary Trip!!

 

Baby and Carolyn..Know it's your Holiday Time.

Hope everything is going well.

 

Donna good for you on your exercise. Know

Sheila does it to when she feels well. I not doing

as well in that department. I'm eating right but

the scale isn't moving after losing five lbs two weeks ago.

Think I need to do it?

 

Things aren't as good with mother as they were.

So I'm under a bit of stress right now..with everything!

I'll make it just would like stress loss's instead of stress gains.

Unlike wall street..want gains instead of loss's there.

[WeirdEyes]

Hey girls!

 

We got back from our trip on Sun. afternoon and then I got sick with a sinus infection. I got some antibiotics so it is clearing up, but moving into my chest...always does. So, I'm feeling better but hacking. LOL No exercise for me this week, unfortunately.

 

My weight is still going up and I'm not happy. However, I'm the only one to blame. Bad Sheila! :mad:

 

Donna ~ So nice to see you posts so we know you're doing well. Life is really hard and we really don't have a lot of time for ourselves anymore, do we? Take care of yourself.

 

Carolyn & Baby ~ Happy Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur!

 

Hugs,

Sheila

[donnaw]

Post this and I'm out of here then last minute packing and off to our airport hotel. Won't be back until late next Friday night so I'll try to check in over the weekend between working remotely and unpacking!

 

Have a great week!

[Belle]

Donna I missed you. Hope your having a

great cruise. Tell us about it when you

come back.

 

Sheila are you feeling better? Hope so.

You are doing great, you will get the

extra weight off when you feel better.

 

Baby and Carolyn hope all is well.

 

Everyone have a good week.

[WeirdEyes]

Hey ladies!

 

Belle ~ Yes, I'm feeling much better, thank you. :) How are you?

 

Carolyn & Baby have Yom Kippur this week. I wonder how they're doing since they've been so quiet. I sure do miss them. Anybody know why they are staying away?

 

Donna ~ Are you on a cruise? Gosh, how did I miss that?

 

Hugs,

Sheila

[Belle]

Sheila is home probably and exercising!

 

Donna is unpacking from her cruise!

Hope you had a great time!

 

Baby and Carolyn what are you doing?

 

I will be visiting my mother and playing

a game with her to keep her mind going!

 

Have a good weekend what ever you are doing.

[Belle]

Am I talking to myself?

 

Well I am a good listener.

Quess I'll tell myself......

I have a little less than

FIVE weeks to cruise!

 

Now just have to worry if

our luggage and we make it to

the ship at the same time.

They have shorten our flight

time that we have to change

planes in NYC.

 

Mother is doing pretty right now.

Hope she continues.

 

Well bye to myself.

Hi all - Sheila gave me a link to a couple of threads, so if you will all let me .. I'm going to join in on the fun!!

 

I lost over 52# and in 6 weeks I've managed to gain back 24# ... I am so discouraged. Some meds got switched around and added to weight, and then I got discouraged and went back to comfort food. I have no one to blame, but myself.

 

I went last week and had some tests done and they all came back fine, I still think that something is being missed. I am going to call the gyn tomorrow and see about a physical with him and he also does a weight loss clinic, so I'd like to bend his ear. I am hungry all the time, my stomach growls, but I have enough food in my system. My sugars are fine, but I'm getting shakey if I don't eat. Its kind of a mess.

 

Enough whining ... but I think this is the first step (to get back to these boards anyway).

 

Thanks ..... Jan

[WeirdEyes]

Hey ladies!

 

I'm sorry I haven't checked in, but I've been sooo busy. I'm sure you all can relate.

 

Jan ~ I am so happy you joined us here. I've been looking for you to post. :) Unfortunately, you and I are in the same boat. I've been having stomach issues and have been placed on numerous new medications. Three of them cause weight gain. I've gained approx. 10 lbs (as of this morning) and have been exercising and eating right most of the time. My weight is going up and down, up and down, and now back up. It is very discouraging and I'm there for you. Maybe we can work on ourselves together?

 

Belle ~ Hey sweetie! Great idea playing games with your DM to keep her mind going. When is your cruise? I sure hope you and your luggage make it to the ship together.

 

Donna ~ Check in when you can and tell us about your trip.

 

Baby and Carolyn are still missing. Has anyone seen Baby on any other boards, such as HAL? If so, tell her to get her booty over here and check in. :D

 

Have a great day, girls!

 

Hugs,

Sheila

[Belle]

And whoever else is reading this.

 

I'm sorry you two are having such a

hard time. You've both have done so well

and bet you both will be doing it again.

Know most of your gains are your meds and

maybe just a little comfort food. You both

do exercise..know you'll get it off once your

meds are right.

Main thing your not giving up!

 

I feel your pain, have no meds to blame on

just stress. Had stress gains and now can't lose

I think because of stress. Over a month ago

maggage to lose five lbs. which took forever.

I've really been good (because of cruise).

Every morning wake up to the same number

on the scale. Want to scream! Not giving up either!

Sheila we fly out Nov. 14th.

 

Donna tell us how your cruise was. We're

waiting to hear! How's Joe feeling? Your Mother?

 

Baby and Carolyn..Where are you both? I/WE miss

you. Your Holidays over? Know Baby you had

Thanksgiving mixed in there too. Remember

we don't care if your up or down. Hope to see

you both in here soon.

[WeirdEyes]

Hello girls!

 

Belle ~ I guess you can relate to what I'm going through. It is frustrating, isn't it? We'll struggle through it together. Hopefully, you'll be down those 5 lbs before your cruise. It is so close!

 

Jan ~ How are you doing?

 

I wanted to share this picture with you. It is of me before I decided to get healthy. I'm about to load up on desserts at a family Christmas party. Can you see me? LOL

 

 

Hugs,

Sheila

[waserdog]

Shiela, way to go. I have read several of your posts through the years and feel like I "know" you. I just checked out your pics from your last cruise and you look amazing!! Love that satin dress. It's impressive when you can look skinny in satin! :)

Thank you, Marianne! I feel so honored....really! What a sweet thing to say. I'm glad you feel like you "know" me. Isn't it nice to find friends from all over the world? :D

 

Sheila

[Jan_In_Maine]

Sheila - Thanks for sharing the picture ... what an amazing difference. Do you find that you forget how dramatically different the change has been?

 

You made me realize that I have been dwelling on the need to get the weight off (that I've gained) without being happy for not being back to where I was originally!! I think that my dwelling is part of what is making it difficult to "get back up on the horse" again. I hope this is understandable. Thanks for your support.

 

Belle - How nice you have a cruise to look forward to ... I've come into this thread late ... how is your mom doing? My mom was an Alzheimer's patient ... so I understand a little about the stress you must be under.

 

Have a great evening all. Jan

[Belle]

Sheila and Jan..You both have done great!

You've hit a "big bump" in the road but you'll

get over the "bump"! Just think where you

were then and how good you are now even

with some gains.

 

Sheila trouble is I lost the 5lbs, can't seem

to lose more and need to lose..5lbs..5lbs..5lbs

5 lbs.,5lbs..ect ect! LOL

 

Jan everything started in March 2007, father

was very sick, down there for 3 months. Had to

do everything. Still do. Mother couldn't/can't. Brought

them up here. Father died in June. Mother isn't completly

out of it which makes it hard. Hard to see her this way

as you know. Just going to get worse. I'm an only child.

So was trying to deal with both of them, different problems.

Keep them happy. That's why the stress big weight gains!

 

Sorry you had to go thru it with your mother. You said was,

so she's at peace now.

 

Yes I can't wait for our cruise, now the stress of the

air flight and our luggage. They have shorten our time

between flights. Hope don't have to wear the same

clothes everyday! LOL (really not laughing..worrying)

 

Baby and Carolyn still waiting for you to say..Hello Ladies!

[WeirdEyes]

Jan ~ I have my picture posted right here at my desk to remind me how far I've come. I look at it when I get upset with myself for not losing more. Heck, I went from a size 20W to a size 8. Why isn't that good enough? I think it is just how we're going to be though...always need to lose 5, 10 more pounds. You have come a VERY long way yourself and you should be so proud. I hope we can both be happy with ourselves one day soon. ;)

 

Belle ~ You're so funny! You really are a "Little Miss Sunshine." You always brighten my day. I love ya for it. :)

 

Tonight is Bunco and as I mentioned on the Countdown thread, I'm going to try to be good and only eat one dessert instead of two. Wish me luck!

 

Hugs,

Sheila

[Belle]

You can do it!

I had Bunco last Wed. and

only ate some fruit and cheese and

I ATE NO SWEETS!!! Big thing for me!

 

I know you can do it..eat only one!

You've got more willpower than me.

Look how good you exercise.
