I read the email about the drop in program, twice actually, and thought it was interesting, and well written. I don't usually have the energy to spend time with my sisters/girlfriends, so I visit here instead. So . . . keep those posts coming!
Thank you so much! Sometimes I get a little paranoid that I am posting too much or the wrong thing. I am glad you do not think I am overdoing it.
I really am glad we have this place to be. It is a great place.

I don't see any reason for anybody to be apologizing for posting too much or too little. We all have busy lives to lead. If you post a lot it makes for good reading. Missy you have a very interesting life and I like to read about it.
I don't post too much because everytime I am on here little man always needs something as soon as I start to post. So mostly I just do a lot of reading and minor posting.
Happy losing to you all.

I have an interesting life? I really hadn't thought about it like that. LOL
Well you just tell little man that we say hello to him when he is asking for mommy's attention!
Thank you for being so sweet!

I could not be happier that I found this thread back in May or was it June? I cannot remember. That is what old age does to a person. LOL!!
I hope everyone enjoys this last weekend in September. Ir is GORGEOUS here. It is only 56 right now and is only supposed to be 70. Yay! The Fall is just so amazing.
I do need to apologize to everyone. I am sorry that I have sent so many posts in to the group. I am also sorry that I sent in that email that I wrote about the drop-in program. I should not have burdened you guys with that. So so sorry guys!!
Well, I do wish everyone well today and I sure hope this is a great weekend for all! Please take care and post when you can!!

I want to just cry. Last Sunday I had FINALLY lost weight. My pants were drooping off me, I tried the same pair on this morning they still are but I wonder if the are that way from the weight I lost before and just didn't realize they were big until lat week. Since I did well last week I ate the EXACT same way this week, weighed and measured, my 3 meals and 3 snacks. I made sure what I chose had the least calories. Brown rice has less the white sames goes for whole wheat pasta less calories then reg, And I GAINED yes that is right everything the same not a cheat nothing and I GAINED 3 lbs. I am so disgusted. I feel like saying SH*T on this and forget about the diet, eat brownies and what ever else I want to. What difference does it make??????????? To get healthy???????? I will never be healthy. So why begrudge myself foods I like no, no, foods I love to not lose but gain?????????? And honestly will losing weight prolong life?????? I think not when you are born God stamps your butt with an expiration date. So if you are young or old, fat or skinny, sick or healthy when God wants you home he will take you.
