Jan,

I am so glad you posted that. It really helps me to know that all of the emotional garbage I feel right now others have felt. That the "panic" as you so call it is really a normal reaction to losing a lot of weight. 

I personally like to read everyone's progress.  I know that when I haven't lost weight, it is because I have not adhered 100 percent to the program. That is the "real truth".  Others may have different stories but it helps me tremendously to be reminded that people who work hard and stay on program 100 percent lose weight and inches and I love it when they right how they feel! So I think it is a combination of everything that I would like to know. Did you lose pounds, inches and how great does it feel to be moving and being proud of yourself.  Thanks for sharing! Cindy

Oh by the way, I bought Joel Olsteen's book and am really getting inspired by it!

I was just playing to see if I could put pics in. So here is a side by side. The first one June 1st and the second one December 27, 2005.

I was having trouble reading messages but went in to 'MY Profile" and changed it to large print. So if anyone else is. All of the words were too close together.  Anyway........I'm off to mow the lawn it is already 88 degrees here. The neighbors are just going to have to wake up! lol

It is Your Best LIfe Now, 7 steps to living at your full potential!

Just to also let you know they have a web site. I have not gone there yet .

www.joelosteen.com

I'm glad you finally found us.  Actually it posted very well. I am able to read it without any problems. I think alot of us have been having problems with healthy behaviors. I haven't seen that show but will watch for it.

Glad you are with us and hope you can find your way back or else we will have to send out the search party!

Steve was featured on the Today Show. I found him to be inspiring though I'm not sure I would want to walk across America. They showed his wife also, who was very supportive.

I'm interested in how they do the body fat test and what they will accept you at. So keep us posted.

I watched it this morning live on his internet site.  Very impressive! I was able to watch the whole service without any problems. The place is huge! He said they were having some bugs with traffic......I imagine!

On the tool bar above where you type your message, there are icons for bold or italics, to use bullets, spell check, color of ink, remove format and then the next one is insert/edit imagine.

glmark-I am so glad that you have joined us here. This is a journey and we all fall down and get back up. So come often and let us know what you are doing to get going!

Loretta, I love the cat with the tongue stuck out!  I will try to watch the "help" board and see if they say anything about Macintosh not having the tool bar.  I also can't figure how you get the light blue ink.

Cherie, I can't read the blue either. Not sure how she is getting blue ink but I did note that when I used her message it converted mine to the blue.  Also, from what I can find out at this time the birthday bug wants you to be older. I think all of us are!  They keep telling people they are working on it! Look at it this way, now you can have two birthdays.......more presents! lol

Brenda, hang in there! Family pressures are the worst. I once lived across the street from my dear mother in law! We moved very quickly.

Will, glad to see that you have enjoyed the race.  Hope that you get to feeling better soon and get back on track.

I have to work on how I have my messages set up because I'm reading the newest ones first and it throws me out of skelter. 

I'm still trying to find your tool bar!......Codependent me......no I just want to fix the world! lol  Anyway this was on the help board and I saw it. So do you see a little arrow in between the message title and where you type.  It doesn't sound like it was a mac problem.  If this doesn't work I will take off my cape crusader outfit and leave you alone! lol

 Just a suggestion..I'm wondering if the person who does not see the commands on the taskbar has inadvertently hidden their taskbar and therefore is not seeing them. I closed mine accidently today and it sounds like that could be their problem???

.

On the missing buttons on the toolbar, good point! There's a little arrow that closes the toolbar hiding all of the buttons and yes, it's possible to accidentally click it. Thanks for pointing that out!

I typed this message and did not see it anywhere so I must have done something wrong.......so here it is again. Very important!

I have been just kind of waiting to get my head on straight to start back with a strong effort of being healthy. Was really going to give it another week. But after reading Joel Osteen's book all weekend I decided that today is the day! I have just been fooling myself and not taking care of me.

So this morning I got up and was on the treadmill for 30 minutes, listening to KLOVE, crying, walking and laughing. It really is cathartic for me! I just wanted to say thanks guys for being here for me. For Millie, your email and reaching out is burned in my heart!   My meals are planned out. My mind is in the right place!

I am glad that we are all back together. Hope Cherie can round everyone else back. I appreciate Jan and Autumn for stepping in and keeping us together but this just feels like home even with the bugs!

Have a good day. Stay cool! Jan, I wish I was with you we could splash around and stay cool!
