Topic : A Circle of Friends with Loving Support

Omgoodness!! I love the new picture!! This is the first time I've seen it and it's great!  What a great idea with the beads. 

I still like bread, I buy 12-grain, ww pasta, etc., I just find that I don't crave it anymore and when I do have it, I don't want as much.  In fact, I don't even eat as much as I could have.  I little bit goes along way now.   I've had absolutely not one bite of anything made with processed sugar or white flour for a month now and I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything.  The weightloss results are more than enough to keep me satisfied.

I've been feeling in a funk all day - can't get with it. I didn't even want to come here to post, but when I read your post about it being 6 yrs in Nov since you lost your Mom, the light bulb went on. Next week it will be 11 yrs that my Mom has been gone. I always get blue at this time of year, but never realize why at the time. If I hadn't read your post I would probably have been in a funk till after the anniversary of her death which is next Thursday. Now I know what's the matter. Thanks! I still miss my Mom like crazy too.  

You are such an inspiration!! I wish I could "get" it like you have!

Sharon, great to see you, missed you today! 

Janet, sweet dreams . .it appears there's just the 3 of us here right now and I am heading to bed myself!  I'm not one to sleep in and I didn't get as much accomplished as far as classwork today as it was so nice outside and then DS and DIL stopped in and the rest is history *lol*! 

See everyone in the a.m.  May you have a peace-filled slumber!   & =  !

Oh BJ, thank you!  You've got me all teary-eyed here.  I do understand exactly how you feel where your Mom is concerned.  It is a void that can never be filled.  The fact that I am going to be a Grammy in February for the first time is also making me think of her more these days.  She would be so overjoyed for me and and for herself to have a new great-grandchild. I believe in my heart that she knows and that when the time comes, she'll be smiling down on us all and I can "see" that in my mind and feel it in my heart.  As much as it hurts, I believe we have to keep their memories alive and I believe that at least in spirit, she's always near. 

I'm glad that I can help inspire your WLC.  I have found so much inspiration and support from everyone here that I just have to pass it on!  What is it Oprah says . ."we get back from the world, what we give out to the world"?  I'm a believer!

Just got home from my mom's I am so tired now. We had a great visit and have made some plans to help each other out doing the plan, we are going to phone walk every morning together. What this means is we will both get up and start our walk together and chat on the phone till we get done. This is our solution to not wanting to exercise alone. I think it is a great solution as we live an hour away from each other so meeting to walk does not make any sense. This is gonna be great. 

I see the board has been very active today!!  Way to go for a weekend.  

Sharon so glad you had fun today. 

barbara thank you for such a nice compliment, and yes I do belive everything I say about and to myself. 

Ladean, I think it was worth the tie with your garage door to have the oppurtunity to help someone else. 

Janet, thanks for sending me the pic it is on now, By the way I love the idea of the beads to keep track of your losses. 

Bets, I got your email, but I can't convert the pic to jpg so If you can resend it to me, you are beautifull. 

Cat, way to go on thinking up a positive. 

Mindi, Glad to see you still finding good things to say about yourself. 

Cathy, you are doing so great!! I am proud of you. 

If there are any others who have posted since my last post sorry, I did not puposely skip yopu i am just that tired. So on that Note I am going to head for bed in the next little while. 

Hugs, Tracy 

love the idea of the beads but I think I am ging to go another direction for the end product, i think I am going to make mine into a sexy string outfit to wear for hubby when I get to goal. i know that is probably more than you wanted to know, But I think it will be fun, instead of the weight being under my skin it will be on it and I can just take it off....LOL Have a great night and yes, I am on my way to dream land. 

Hugs, Tracy. 

PS I will get your Bio on tomarrow, by the way are you trying to write a book?...LOL
