HiYA PAULETTIE~~can I say it now?? I TOLD YOU SO! I said that you would be losing inches no matter what the numbers were. HAD to be droppeing some fat. You did wonderfully well.I am so happy to see you enthised again
Oh, Jodi would love to move farther South if she had the opportunity and ability, which neither is the case for now or for years as far as I can tell. She loves the farm and it IS home, but I understand about her being too cold in the winter to work the horses well. She cannot tolerate the cold. Gotta tell you that she would be taking at least some if not all of her personal horses with her! She owns 5! I would go back into the business again if i had the opportunity for only retirement horses. Not at all interested in a normal boarding situation with people coming and riding and all over the place, not do I wish to ever give riding lessons again. Fact is, the liability insurance can eat you our of house and home. Had the business for 21 years in NYS.Not looking to have it and Jodi better not be moving out any time soon!LOL

Barb is still on the site so I will leave the changes to her:O good night

It must be hospital inspection week. We had the joint commission here today. They do the same thing here where each department "messages" each other to keep track of the team. I guess we did ok as far as I can tell...things like those visits make me so glad I work graveyards.

Tam is it you that supports Carolina? Of course being from SC i'm a Carolina fan and Chris is a Broncos fan. I thought of you today...I went back to planet fitness today. Chris even went with me. After not working out since the 6th that ARC Trainer was brutal!Unfortunately I didn't get to enjoy a message since I had to come to work but it was great to be back.

Himi how is your friend doing by the way? So great that you are now smaller than the "average" woman-size 14 is supposedly "average". I did the same thing with thrift stores etc for a while...makes losing weight a lot less expensive wardrobewise. Thanks for keeping Tam company on the teeter totter but hopefully you ladies will move to the slide tomorrow.

Barb glad you had a drop today too. Hope you had a good meal with your hubby. So great that your FIL is alert and showing signs of improvement. How is your sister doing?

Chrissie hope you're sleeping like a newborn baby. It's crazy but losing weight is "fun" yea that's my story and i'm sticking to it lol

Paulette i'm so excited for you! Yea! I'll take inches lost over pounds lost any day! Whoo hoo!

Cricket whoo hoo on your 1 pound loss. You're right "treading water". I've decided I want to stay between 135-145 with 139 being ideal. I felt too skinny and "bony" at 133 and I can't wear most of my jeans at 147 so.... Lucky Jodi for not worrying about her weight. When I don't worry about it it quickly gets out of control. Just as I can lose super fast I also gain super fast if i'm not obsessive about it. I had such a relatively small gain this time even with 10 days off plan because I was still cautious to a certain degree about what I was eating. One thing is for sure...during maintenance this group is essential to keep me grounded and accountable. I'm forever grateful to you for this group and most importantly your friendship and that of all our team mates.

Whose husband is changing jobs? I forgot. When is that happening? Sorry speed reading leaves a lot of details foggy.

BARB~~ missed you entire post! Would hubby consider doing yout WOE with you? Carl came home tonight and i asked what he was planning to have for dinner.. he said he at at SAM'S..pizza and his Sundae.. but "WAS GOOD" for lunch with 2 yougurts and banana....and had only one beer when he got home. Wonder how long that one beer will last. I do get disgusted when I see how he piles on the foods and the volume would choke an elephant. I need to add he is short. 5'5ish. I am happy he is determined. He plans to help me feed and refill buckets in the morning but will work out earlier..we have a gym equipment in the hangar.He will do leg lifts ets there. Does not use the weight benches.HEY.. I do not know what made him wake up but I am HAPPY and hope it stays.
It is now 12:45am..1.5 Hydrocodone helped me relaz and I woke up with arm pain again so I tiik 2 Ibuprohen..sigh... have to get back to sleep. For dinner i made 3 egg omellet.. tomorrow is no food until the late evening after I get home and finishe feeding. I do not eat other wise while away.. the prota potties are not really apealing to me!And sure are a long walk when IBS hits!!! So eating late and now works. Not for weight ins, but maybe I will wait until late tomorrow for that.
Be well all and have a great Saturday!

up again at 3 and 4 and at 4:30 has 3 fried eggs and hot choc drink w/hhc.Will be home long enough to take care of of the effects! I may just weigh in tomorrow for the new game and not today..who knows!
HAve a wonderful day...
KATHY... so you have JACHO too? they used to be holed up in one room for 2-3 days! They did their tour of inspections and reviews and then it was piles of books and charts. Not fun.
Since that very thing was reason enough to hire me away from current jobs to FIX things I was pretty numb to it all. Usually I got in prior to them to get the facility ready.We always knew the month they would be in and then post survey to fix up the tags etc.. and THEN I would return to my previous place of employment. Facilities shared me LOL!
PAULETTE.. hope y ou ride the waves today again I showed Jodi the pic of Species 2.0... her expression was of surprise and her comment was..oooowow..and big smile. That is right up her alley!
HIMIKINS~~ TY for the bunny tips I think I will get some wind break material on a corner..the hutch is not big a tall. No one built an enlargement.Poor Bonnie Bunny
BARB.. HOPE FIL has some respiratory relief.He would be on meds for that and paid by hospice as well.The fact that he is talking about his parents etc to me is some getting ready issues. OFf to bed again with a full and warm tummy..NOW I am tired!

Down another 2.2 lbs this morning, so now I am back to where I was before the hormone therapy! Yay! I am glad that is over with! Now if I could only progress further than this...

CRICKET - Yes, you are right. I am continuing to lose some fat through all this. I wonder why all of a sudden, though? Do you think it is time for this plateau to end? I sure hope so. Only when I get below 211 and stay there will I consider it beyond me. That is my goal for now. Getting below 200 seems so far away right now that I don't even want to think about it. I had always assumed I would have reached that point by now! ----- You made me chuckle a little when you said that JODI thought it was too cold down where you live. funny! too cold I wonder what she would do if stuck up here when a cold snap hits and it gets to -20˚ (NOT counting the wind chill!!!)

I am going to drink some coffee now and relax. My bleeding has slowed quite a bit and I hope it ends in a day or 2. I am having eggs and turkey breakfast sausage patties for lunch today and salmon patties for dinner. I will stop back a little later to see how we are all doing today. Bye!

ENJOY YOUR DAY LADIES!

Hi Friends
PAULITTIE~~ Stall may be bending now. I HAS to stop and move off you. Will there be others? I think set points yes but not the huge stall again. You were and are complicated wit the hormones. I beleive that once they are handled by ob GYN that you will be stabilized and losses will continue....Oh we KNOW what COLD is. DEEP DWN COLD -20 plus more. She grew up having to take a sledge hammer to break through the stram for the horses..We would have piles of snow in MAY! We lived in those Catskill MTNS for 21 years, but she lived in S. FL for years befoe going Nrth to Lombard, IL and then back to here. She cannot now and never could tolerate cold. I used tohave warm clothing in the dryer for her to change into so she could come inside and change into warm clothes to go out and play.
It is Black Powder season now.. gun blasts began ast dawn all around us. The dogs will stay planted on the front porch.they are so afraisd of gun fire and thunder. AGAIN< CONGRATS on gettting to the FLUME RIDE!

CHRISSIE SUNSHINE~~ did you get you boo boo strip? We have the Flintstones or Scoobie Doo all ready! LOL..

I have eaten well and hydrated so no weights for me and will wait until Sunday AM. Got the horses fed and Carl was with me bless his heart and the buckets all refilled with that rediculous menu! I will do the hair and set out for the show grounds. For those here that I have e-mails for, I sent pics of Jodi taken yesterday with Beckham at the grounds just chillin!

I am sure the grounds owner will be geting a zillion pizzas for every exhibitor. It is what she does! So nice of her. She usually does dinner and then the left overs on show day for lunch, but this time it is for lunch.AND I WILL once again refuse politely any poison!!!

Have a grat day ladies..GO BRONCOS AND ROLL TIDE!

i hope y'all are enjoying your day so far
overcast & in the 50's, but still a nice colorful walk in the park today

the hubby & i are off to an evening of blues at bethel woods

Paulette i'm so excited for your loss! You totally have earned this Miss Whooshie visit! I made me some tuna salad today in honor of your loss lol

Chrissie no worries on that speed bump...i'll come behind you and give you a quick push to the other side...160's look out here comes Chrissie!! Enjoy your blues night with the hubby!

Cricket you have a busy day today with little sleep-yuck! I hope Jodi is doing well. I have no doubt the scale will reward you for refusing the naughty pizza poision.

Barb yea on your .1 .... It is so much better than a gain of .1 ...

CRICKET: It doesn't sound like you got much sleep last night! Relative to the cold, Bob is already complaining about the cold and the fact that winter is coming. He hates the cold and the fact that it gets dark earlier. I go all winter without putting a coat on half the time unless I'm going to be outside for a long period of time. I'm not sure if Bob could do this WOE or not. He is on timed insulin, doesn't eat large quantities of food, but always seems to be hungry. However, now that he'll be home and can be monitored better, the doctor may change his treatment plan a little bit, so maybe it would work.

JODI: Hope you had a good day at the show today!

KATHY: I used to hate JACHO. They always seemed to be so nit picky. One surveyor would tell you one thing and another wouldn't agree with it. It just seemed to depend on the surveyor. We don't pay for that "headache" anymore. Our next DOH survey won't be for 3 years instead of every 2 like we've had.

Great job on the whoosh today!

Bob will be changing jobs in 2 weeks as he had to give a 4 week notice. He is already working at his new job under a contract arrangement so the only thing that will change is that he'll be a FT employee of the hospital and will have better hours.

CHRISSIE: You'll be seeing the 160's before you know it. Hope you enjoy your evening.

PAULETTE: You go girl! You deserve every pound and inch you lost! Hoping it keeps going for you!

Hey Everyone,

I had a nice lil whooshie of 1.6 down, after a gain of .8 yesterday. I am thinking my up was caused by some kind of reaction I was having. My eyes ended up being almost swollen shut last night. They were very red and puffy. This morning they were normal again. However, I took a shower, and afterward, as I always do, I was putting on some eye and face cream. Have been using these Lancome products for years, but not so long after I put the cream on, my lids started itching, and getting swollen again. I washed my face to get what I put on, off, and the swelling is gone now. I guess I must have developed a sensitivity to it. Oh well, my wallet will be happier, because that stuff taint cheap.

Football all day, all weekend, here. My Heels won so they are now 6-1, , but my Vols lost to a ranked Bama. Still proud of them, they stuck in there until the end. Tomorrow will be my Panthers and Bronco's. Hope they both come out still undefeated tomorrow. We will see.

Just got back from a night cruise with hubby...I forgot to send this. We sure do enjoy the top down and listening to beach music, and the 60 and 70's music.

Cricket: I hope you getting some decent sleep...I can't take Vicadon. I had an eye injury, 15 years ago, and they gave me that for pain. I had a horrible problem with it, so no more of that for me. I hope it works better for you. My cruise/holiday dates are Nov. 14th-27th. Hope Carl sticks with the exercise and starts eating better. He is the same age as me, so it CAN be done.

Paulette: Wow! What great losses you are showing...you sure do deserve it!Glad the bleeding is slowly going away. I am hoping that this will continue for you since you have struggled so much. And thank you for thinking of me, seems like family=drama, at least lately anyway. And huge NSV your measurement loss!

Kathy: Thank you, we were very fortunate with the weather, as far as the family stress...well that is going to take awhile. So glad you are back on plan, and losing. I work better and feel happier when I have a goal to achieve. Hopefully I can look at maintenance...a long way away...as a goal in a different way. Never eating OP, or if I do, jumping right back on my plan. I adore Planet Fitness...but I especially love the massages...so heavenly. And yes I support the REAL Carolina, lol...GO TARHEELS!!

Himi: I'm afraid if were on the teeter-totter together...your end is gonna be up in the air all the time. I weigh a lil bit more than you.

Chrissie: Sorry you are up a blip...but it will go away soon. And thanks for the encouragement...I know as long as I work my plan, my plan will work. Hope you enjoyed your night out with hubby.

Barb: So glad you are back on your plan and working it. It always feels so much better eating this way. I felt yucky whenever I ate carby foods...yet it never stopped me. This time I have avoided that feeling.
