0.2 away from 50 lbs lost (again). although i already saw that back in june, i am still very excited to get back there...once i lose 54 lbs, THAT will be my new all-time low since zac was a toddler

PAULETTE......i'm so sorry you are up again

GM. . Hope you had a ball at the concert.. love that guy too! Congrats on the wter ride That flume ride has been lonely
Tam.. Picked the right emogee for you! ...WTG on that milestone.. fantastic and many more to come
Polluque...I am so really sorry for what you go through..hope the pills work fast too .You must have a very conservative Ob/Gyn..in the old days it was D&C right off the bat..hormones are really not playing fair with you . Internal clock is playing games too ..UGH..
HIMI... happy shopping..have fun with the lines on the chart What is you were shopping for? I missd it..whatever it is ope you find great buys Love going through discount and GoodWill places..

KATHY... this is a call out for you GF. Wrote you. We really do need to have you back and taking longer is not going to help you.We CARE so be here!

BARB... Hope all is OK.I know you are in pre survey craziness and have a very fiull plate. Just know we think about you and hope for the best.

Thank you all for caring about me and these peepers which are improved. Sitting now with magnifying glasses like Mr MaGoo at the screen! My right eye is better than the other and I will be getting distance glasses thanks to the left eye and reading galsses. Since I get one set per surgery, that is 2 pairs I think I will get one for reading and one distance..or one of them bificals.. not sure yet. I could really use THREE! Coered for $80% sp will see what theu end up costing. Now get this nonesense... I called my opthomologist.. been there for 9 years.. anyone here knows how draned accident prone I ma with getting stuff stuck in my eyes etc.. so he got to see me lots! At any rate, he wants the $50 co pay PLUS andother $25 for the exam/ prescription..HUH???? said that if he did the post op care (that is free from the surgeon) he would include the script...uh.. and have to see him 2 times?? NU UH! Will go to Walmart for $69.00. No BS. and they would be making my glasses anyway. Theopthomologist is WAAAAYYY too costly! So. he just lost a client. Will go to my surgeon for any eye injuries from now on! One more week and I may be able to do mowing at least.. have drops for 4 weeks. ALL in all, I am seeing wekk enough to get along. I can deal with this. MIND OVER MAtter.. i will not mind and not let this latter! hAVE TO FOCUS ON THE FACT THAT THIS WAS TO REMOVE MY CATARACTS AND THAT WAS DONE. i WILL NOT GO BLIND DUE TO THEM AS MY MOTHER DID. gLASSES?? BIG DEAL. oops.. NOT YELLING.. SORRY

CHRISSIE - YAY! Congrats on being down 1.1!! Yes, I am sad that I just can't seem to lose weight any more. But something is all screwy inside me and I am really hoping it shall pass soon. I hope you can get back to that 50+ lbs lost quickly and zip past it with no STALLS!!!

CRICKLETY DOO DA - I am happy to hear your eyes are doing better!!! But you sure do have to pay an awful lot of money for it. For all you are forking out, your new eyes should be made of gold! Congrats on another drop for you!!!

My bleeding seems to be slowing down today!!! YAY!!!! These pills are doing their job! Now I hope it stops in a day or 2, then (maybe?) I can lose some weight????? Time will tell. My patience has worn so thin I can see through it. It is like a spider web now.

I get to finish my steak from yesterday today. And tonight I may have....drumroll....TUNA!!! I am thinking of making tuna PATTIES actually.

Back to work now. I hope the rest of us have a great losing day! And I miss you, KATHY!

BARB - I hope you can chime in today, too. You missed all your Birthday and Anniversary wishes yesterday!

Finally got my profile pic and avatar changed...next challenge to delete current during pics so I can upload new during pics.

Anywhoo...new pic is me at my highest, next to me 50lbs down. I have some body shots too that if I can't upload in the gallery I will use that tinypic app Paulette recommended worked perfectly.

Just down .2 but I'm fine with that. I ate kinda late last night so it figures.

Paulette: Thank you so much for the app really helped. and thank you for my congrats! Sorry you are back up. Can you hold off weighing a little longer between eating/drinking and weighing? I usually allow at least 12 hours. Glad the pills are helping, praying that weight will finally let go.

Chrissie: Yay!! for going down!!! So happy for you. And so close to 50 down...you will be joining me soon.

Cricket: So glad your eyes are improving! And yay!! on your .4 down. You are killing it this week!

That's all I have for now, hope y'all have a great evening, and lots of losses tomorrow!
Himi: Thanks for the congrats and your suggestions as well.

So I am pretty sure this is an artificially low weigh in, due to dehydration/fasting--- Had to drive this AM, didnt get around to weighing till after I got back after noon, and I hadnt yet eaten or drunk anything-- so I am looking for a more conservative result (small loss from yesterday/small gain from today) tomorrow--- thats what I would EXPECT.... but who knows!

Getting ready to go to a broadcast of Hamlet (a live stream of a show playing in NYC) with my daughter tonight-- several of her classmates and the teacher from her advanced drama class are going, and Mady invited her mommy too so I likely wont be back on tonight since its a 4 hour show and its 45 minutes away (!) Late night for us for a weeknight!

Haha Paulette... Cricket your new handle should be Golden Eye......

DRATS.. just lost a LONG nice detailed post.. ot doing it over..
GREAT LOSSES...love the new B&A avatar...Polly always has great links..Himi enjoy the special show...cannot stay on..eye hurtin and looking through one eye so to bed it is. Been a long day up at 4 am again!....LOVE YA ALL!! Please someome do the cahrt for Friday TY

oh.. HIMI.. you always downplay your earned losses. I would nt care if my blood was draine and I did not eat for a week.. that weight is hnest you! TAKE IT AND RUN LOL

Hi Y'all just a quick post to let you know I finally got my new in progress photos up in my gallery. I know you are all thankful for that world problem solved.

PAULETTE.......i'm glad to hear your bleeding has slowed down; hopefully it will be gone completely in a day or 2

HIMI......congrats on the -0.9
i hope you enjoyed hamlet (is that the play about a tiny pig? )

TAM.....great side-by-side! i couldn't get the tinypic thing to work for me
thank God that world problem is solved! i thought we might have to get the UN involved!!!

CRICKET.....frampton was AMAZING!!! all acoustic show. and his son julian opened up for him, and he was really really good
congrats on another 0.6 lost. you have lost 4.6 lbs already this week!

1. did you girls know that diet coke came out with a form made with splenda? i just found that out......good for that occasional coca-cola craving

2. i discovered that canfield's, hc, and a protein shake tastes exactly like a chocolate soda ......it was a very satisfying, filling, and a great quick meal replacement i needed in a pinch. cricket already turned me onto the soda with hc, so i just added a little extra kick

say g'nite gracie.
g'nite!!

Hi Everyone. I apologize that I have been so inactive these past 2 weeks since I've been back. I haven't been home or on the computer much. Unfortunately, I haven't weighed in the past 2 days as my scale is in the bedroom and I left for work before my husband was up. I thought this afternoon I should have just used a flashlight....not sure what it would weigh but I could've blamed any increases on the flashlight.

The survey started yesterday and will end tomorrow. My pre-survey jitters had me in at work Tuesday night (Wed morning) until 1:30 am. Came home and grabbed a couple of hours sleep and was back up at 5 am. (That is how I spent my birthday/anniversary. My husband had to work until 8:30 last night so I didn't even see him.) I'm through with my part of the survey and everything went well, but it's never over until it's over.

I haven't had a chance to go back through the posts yet, but want to thank everyone for the birthday and anniversary wishes. Also, I promise, I'll get back to my normal, daily posts tomorrow. I know I haven't been involved with posting or supporting everyone like I should be. Thanks for bearing with me these past few weeks.

no worries.....life happens
that must be one heavy flashlight to have to disallow it's weight!
i bet you can't wait for this survey thing to be truly over
looking forward to your regular posting

since my weight stayed the same, i just edited the chart i did last night to include the *

have a great day everyone
