Evidently, I'm out of practice. I lost my first post last night and when I reposted, I must not have changed my weight. I didn't star it the first time since it was a late Friday post and the Saturday chart was already posted. But then this morning, I saw it wasn't changed at all. I think my brain is fried!

Looks like most everyone is doing really great this game! I'm up for the challenge for the next game. Paulette: Hopefully, we can help each other along! When you really start losing again, I have the feeling that you're really going to take off!! It's been a while for you and I know it has been frustrating, but I still feel your body is in a period of adjustment and your losses will start again soon!

CHRISSIE... missed your post HEY!!! I lived not far from Liberty... above Ellenville RIGHT??? I was in Kerhonskon Enjoy your visit no matter where it is LOL! and CONGRATS on that huge 50 pound bag gone forever!
Hope you never have sleep problems too. I used to work on very little sleep and the changing shifts casue such an insocsistent pattern. I always beleived that hospitals did not run ona 8-5 schedules so if I were to administer correctly all shifts, I needed to be available to all shifts and so I skipped around. Kept staff on their toes as well

TAM: So glad you're back with us and congratulations on the 50 lbs lost. Love your new pictures. I haven't learned how to post pictures yet. I love taking pictures but never liked my picture taken. I seem to always have a camera on our trips, but our group always teases me because I take all these pictures and no one ever sees them as they are stuck on the camera disk. They are still waiting for the CD of the pictures I took 5 years ago when we went out west! One of these days, I'll have my grandkids teach me...as I know they probably know more than I do about it.

CHRISSIE: Congratulations on your loss of 50 lbs! I think we were around the same weight or your might have been a little higher than me when you got back from traveling. Now we're reversed. I better get back in the game!

HIMI: You are just losing at a slow consistent pace every week...which is the way long term losses should be done. Great job. Also, congratulations on getting and staying in onederland.

PAULETTE: Again, I really commend you for staying dedicated even when you don't see much progress. As we can all attest, one or two days of bad eating can totally derail previous efforts and you refuse to stray off plan. Good for you!!! The losses will come again!

CRICKET: Sorry I wasn't here for you your eye surgery. Hopefully, things are getting easier for you and the health issues and financial burdens from them will be behind you and your life can get back to normal.

JODI: You are not that far out of your normal weight range so you'll get back there soon.

Missing KATHY. Has anyone heard from her lately? I haven't had a chance to go back through all of the posts, but I knew she was having a tough time and was going to be gone for awhile. Hope everything is okay for her.

I feel like I've missed so much! Hopefully, things will be better than normal for me from now on. Survey went really well and I did fine with no issues. I am also the type of person who likes to keep things up ongoing so there is no stress. However, I had two manuals that need totally reviewed and updated every two years and my date of review coincides close to the survey dates and during the time of year when I'm the busiest. I think I'm going to review it in 18 months when I'm not quite so busy so that I'm not so pressured prior to the next survey in two years. Also, there were new laws regarding background checks that changed twice since Jan 1 (most recent change in July), so we were trying to get our staff all completed for that and to make sure the policy was updated for the changes. We now need three different checks for fingerprinting, child abuse and a regular state police check. Big responsibility for our small department and a big expense for the organization. Survey is done and now I need to move on to getting our computer system set up and data entered to meet the reporting requirements for the Affordable Care Act that needs to be distributed with W-2's and get ready for the computer upgrade which is supposed to take place in early November. I've done nothing for either one! Work never seems to slow up for me, but it won't be as bad as it was this past summer.

My husband put in his 4 weeks notice where he's currently working and is taking a full tome position with our organization. He was already helping them out on his days off under a contract arrangement, but is going to take the position full time. He will now be working full time and have normal work hours so no more eating at 9:00 PM. This will help me with my eating, I won't be staying at work late just because he won't be home until later, and maybe we both will be able to eat healthy food at a normal time and get some exercise or activity in the evenings instead of eating and going to bed.

Weather is getting colder and they are calling for possible snow this weekend. Therefore, our riding days are probably done until late April/May. Once they put salt, brine and anti-skid (gravel) on the roads, it's not safe to ride. You may have to change out my sun glasses for a winter hat! But the positive thing for me is that I'll have more time to concentrate on me and my eating!

I'll check back in tomorrow with my weight for the new game!

BOO HOO here! I am up a LOT today and I am a swollen mess. These hormone pills are taking a toll on me. My bleeding IS slowing down, though not gone yet. I have 3 more days of pills after today and I REALLY hope I can whoosh some of this off after that! And no more gains, please! I am so cornfused.

Last night I woke up twice with my heart racing. It was flip flopping around, too. It seems fine now, just some flip flopping, but had me worried last night. I am a sad, bloated mess.

CHRISSIE - congrats on your big loss and the 50 lb mark!!!! I really am happy for you!

TAM - now you and Chrissie have reached the big 5-0 mark so we should throw you guys a party! I hope you can repost another loss today.

BARB - your job sounds very important. I was curious what you actually did. And is it going to be weird with your husband there? Will you see him throughout the day? Congrats to him for having normal working hours! No more super late dinners is a great thing to overcome!!!!

CRICKET - You may be up a little, but still better off than I am. I hope that Whoosh Fairy can visit us very soon!!! Oh, how I wish.

I had bacon & eggs this morning and I am planning on having a salad later on with chicken breast and a home-made ranch dressing I accidentally invented. It has mayo and a little cream cheese for thickness. I was going to use it as a dip, but watered it down a little too much and the consistency is perfect for a dressing. So salad is on my menu today. Good thing Ed bought some fresh romaine leaves!

You all have a great Saturday! I have to work, and pull out all the dead plants after last nigh't freeze, so I will be busy all day. No going to Mom's. Bye now!

BARB~~ shades stay wear them when there is snow on the ground!
Great to have hubby there too. Maybe you can carpool! If like most places, you two won't see each other all day

I have been in contact with KATHY. HOWEVER have not recieves answer from last letter I sent regarding returning here as to a date for that.
I love her and have missed her. I understand she has gone through a lot of emotional upheaval and she is a soft and kind hearted lady. I will make one morecontact and see if I get an aswer. I am very reluctant to remove her even temporarily since I know she is rturning and had a iem frame in mind.
I will share her issues with anyone that e-mails me. I will not post here.

OH GEESH! You need Miss Whooshie to fly bye with a hat pin! I am so sorry and the swelling would not be making your very happy. When you drop the pounds you will create anpther lake!

FB in one hour.. had 2 eggs over easy fried in cocnut oil.add 2nd cup of fake hot choc with a dollop of HC. I am saving the berries for the game.

It is a gorgeous day and getting on the shades and taking a short walk! like to the horse field

PAULETTE: I'm an HR director for a hospital. Not sure how important it is but I'm too busy and it's stressful. My husband actually worked for us years ago when he first got out of school both in rehab and HHC. He will be doing home health and will be on the road most of the time. Also, their office is off site so I really won't see home much. As long as he behaves himself, I shouldn't have to deal with him.

Sorry for your gain. However, hormones and hormone pills are going to wreck havoc with your weight. Hopefully, it gets better soon.

Snowing pretty hard here a little bit ago, but nothing laid on the ground since the ground is still too warm. The sun was shining right after the snow and now it's cloudy and glooming again. Today, the weather is as unsettled as my weight.

No change for me-- sorry for the late drive-by post-- just got home and settled in-- my day got completely deconstructed as I had a friend in crisis and ended up spending most of the day with her, and then back again this evening. I think things are looking better for her now, but its kind of an ongoing situation so .... Not much I can say

TODAY IS SUNDAY, Oct. 18th

BIGGEST WINNER GAME #23 began SUNDAY 10/11/15 and will end with weight SUNDAY 10/18/15

It is OPEN TO ANYONE THAT FOLLOWS DANDR..1972 or 1992
Positive attitudes and a sense of humor is a big help.


Every passing moment is another chance to turn it all around!

FAILURE IS NOT AN OPTION! .....NASA (and US!)

WE DO NOT FAIL BECAUSE WE KEEP TRYING,
IT IS NOT THE HAND YOU WERE DEALT BUT THE WAY YOU PLAY THAT HAND THAT COUNTS!


We have learned and keep learning how our bodies adjust to the ever changing dynamics of life. We follow the Philosophies set forth by DR ATKINS in DANDR..1972 or 1992 versions.

It does not get easier as we get to goal and we accept that we will keep trying and not give in to old habits. We move forward, even if we take steps backward, we strive for success.
WE ARE THE A-TEAM!

No change in weight for me. I got up early and it was even higher, but went back to bad and it went down a tad to be the same. So no whooshes yet. I have one more day of pills after today so I am really hoping for the best when it is all over. Still bleeding and quite crampy today. I think it will never end!

The Tampax company is making a fortune from me alone!!!

OK, so I never had my chicken salad yesterday. Was not hungry at all until late, then I simply ate some cheese to tide me over. But today I will eat the chicken salad or the romaine will go bad. That will be lunch. I have some wings in the freezer that I think I will take out to thaw. Baked wings with hot sauce for dinner. Sounds like a plan.

All the bulbs are out of the ground and today will dry in the sun. Need to get a few bags of vermiculite or something to pack them in. They spend a good part of their lives in storage and it is important to take good care of them through the cold months. Boy oh boy did they multiply this year!!!!!! We have 8 zillion Canna bulbs! My 2 new dahlias have grown about a dozen extra lobes each!!! The older dahlias have multiplied just as well! So next year my fence will be a wall of dahlias!!!

HIMI - I hope your friend is OK. It sure was nice of you to spend the day with her in her hour of need. I hope today is good for a loss for you, too.

I will stop back later to see how we are all doing. Packer game today and if they win they will be 6-0!!! That hasn't happened for many years! So have a good day all!

PULETTIE~~ TAMPONS??? I'd let the dams flow! That is huge work with the bulb care and I will be the first to say that you have the most beautiful gardens! So, You are doing it all correctely! and that is why my garden could kill catcus! Will hope all settles down with you soon.

HIMIKIN~~ hope things go better for your friend. She certainly does have a friend in you!

Got reading glasses which don't do a whit for this stuff.
Drove the care ( usually just drive Carl crazy) and although I could see well enough it was not good! Most things were blurred at more than one car length ahead of me. Not blurry just slightly siftened looking..could not read signs though.. so I NEED distnce.And reading and computer... I have had a thought.. if anyone here is familiar with Medicare, listen and read on please..
I was issued a Medicare card years ago before I turned 65 becasue i was disabled and began recieing my Soc sec early due to that.. now I still of course have that card..I so not do the open enrollment for benefits becasue I have Carl's insurance coverage and never bothered with the card... BUT MEDICARE will pay 100% for glasses after cataract surgery..and my insurance will pay 80%. I wonder if I can use one ins. for one pair and the other for the free pair??? Sounds fair to me so I gues it is illegal !

THE new thread will be posted tonight with only the active participants. I like the SUN-SUN games.. same weight today will be the current weight on tomorrow's chart. Then your weight tomorrow begins the continues weight changes and it is continous that way.

Time to have some food since i ran around all morning after weigh in earlier.
BBL

TAM>>> WHERE ARE YOU? did I miss your post yesterday? Hope all is ok. I read your J and did not see one for yesterday.
