You had mentioned in your last post that you are very busy with work and your G/S's but so nice to see you back on the board, you have been missed. 

You say your weight has been fluctuating lately - sometimes in the summer I find that if it is extremely hot and humid that there can be a problem with water retention and then as soon as the weather evens out a bit that my weight goes back down - or it can even happen if you are not getting enough water.  You are so right when you say, "only you can do this for yourself", but aren't we fortunate to have each other for support. 

Hugs and Love, Shirley 

Always great to see your posts, they warm my soul always g/f... 

Yes, I do love my work, so do my elbows, tee hee... 

Just hang in there kiddo, and those stubborn pounds will eventually give up and let go...winking... 

I had a weak moment last night in the food dept but think it will be okay...It's a forever learning process for me...lol... 

Keep up the good work kiddo and don't get too discouraged...it will all come together for us all...smiling...we have a lifetime to live this lifestyle and one day it will all come so naturally...I believe this...lots of practice makes it closer to perfect..ha ha... 

Love, peace and prayers to you too sweetie..and have a wonderful day...

You have lovely weather in beautiful South Carolina.  So nice that you can swim right into October and then start again in March.  A 5 mile walk a day certainly gets all your IE in during the other months.  We will watch for you and your friend glowing along the way. 

 I had a bit of a craving again yesterday on the RSP and I chose to have a cracker and some peanut butter and that seemed to help.  I know that  was what you could call a slip - and I am not going to feel guilty over it - just carry on in a better fashion today.  Am rooting for you, Alice, to be under that 160 mark on Monday.  Have fun on your aqua bike today.  Hugs, Shirley 

Girlfriend--When I pop in for a visit, it will be you that I want to see.  I could care less how tidy your house is.........probably feel more at home if it is not too tidy.....LOL.  Don't worry about it.  As you said, your priority now is with your daughter as it should be.  She is so lucky to have a loving caring mother like you at her time of need.  

Your message is so true. We spend so much time worrying about what will be in the future. We should stop and smell the roses and enjoy each day to its fullest. 

Love ya.  Marion/BC 

I bet you are all out in this beautiful sunshine having fun and drinking your water and doing IE - am I right?  Am off to have some fun too.  Hugs, Shirley 

I couldn't tell you how many times I too feel just as you...and if you need this time to wrangle things through , you take it my dear...do what you need to do..for you know we are all here for you, whenever you need some support...love and friendship...will eagerly await your return...and be good to you too, and know that you are in my prayers as well....love ya,,,

So many times we just read the posts and don't post ourselves, well I'm posting as without any posts to read , how is there any support given or received...??? lol.. 

Got an email from Neecey awhile ago, and she is having trouble finding us...hope my directions were clear enough...then today I received an email from Raven in Oregon, she can read our posts but as of yet cannot access to post..gave her some ideas too...smiling... I'm sure many are still finding it hard to adjust or access but in time if you don't give up you will get here again..smiling... Raven is maintaining and doing very well, she has another 20 pounds to go...woooohooooo Raven, good job... 

Vickie, don't overdo sweetie, just take the time you need to recover from the difficulties with your hands...I agree the weather sure can wreak havoc on the muscles and joints...that good old arthritis...smiling...  I awoke this morning with "puffy eyes" looks like I was on a bender...lol...too much sodium these past three days..so need to really watch it...rest, relax and recover...praying for you dear...hugs... 

Teresa, holding you near in thought, prayers and love...miss you sweetie, and hope your mom is coming along much better....talk to you soon...hugs... 

I was doing well for the 5 days and then Boom it all started with a little "slip" and then over the past 2 days increased to a "slide "...I've been really trying to sort through this continual sabbotage I create for myself...Ok , sure I'm an emotional eater, but I think it is even deeper than that...and in some ways simpler too...it is a HABIT that is FAMILIAR and despite how awful it makes me feel when I don't eat as I should, I continue in it... 

Now Dr P says to change this habit, it needs to be REPLACED with something else that is positive and not conduent to food...so my search is on for something that will work effectively...Yes, I know about all the list of things to do instead of..but I need to find the one that gives me the same "payoff"...so my search is on....I also am so aware of my inward anger towards situations I really had no control over...so am dealing with this too...thanks for letting me share...I am back on track today, and will work really hard at the internal dialogue and IMPULSIVE Actions I do that keeps me in bondage to this cycle of destruction... 

I hope everyone has a blessed Sunday, and Pooz give dd my love too...take care of you as well...and that beautiful baby g/d...smiling.. 

Hugs to all, 

Karen
