After all...I was down to 199 before I ever moved in mid-February. Now, weeks later...it hasn't really gone down a whole lot...because I wasn't following my woe very well.


Pear...I'm happy to see that the scale is moving in the right direction for you again. You'll probably have a whoosh soon. I'm really happy that you are graphing it...it makes seeing it "overall" easier.

I really want to smack you. Are you EVER happy with yourself?

You have lost 25lbs...That's a pretty amazing thing and you shrug it off like it was too slow. Then, you move...You aren't on Plan at all. You don't gain weight, you don't even Maintain....YOU STILL LOSE WEIGHT!!!! And STILL you complain?

What if it was one of us who did all that? What if it was me, Ailuros, hippiegirl, Jean, or Kiki?? YOU would be the first one to brag on us about how "well" we did.

Umm... I think YOU deserve that from YOU too.

25 lbs IS a big deal.

Not gaining weight while being OFF PLAN Is a Big deal.

You have been constant in losing weight with only a few little Pauses.


Step back and really take a look at this.

Not only all of that, but you have learned how well you feel on low carb.



You did all of that, with a ton of stress. Yes, Click...It IS a big deal.


Now, shut up you TURD!

I just checked on Jean...

Her last activity was on 2-25-08.

I know that she said that she might be gone for a couple of days, and that they were taking the train somewhere, but it's been way longer than just a couple of days. I hope that she is okay!!!!





Jean!!!!! If you're reading....atleast say, "Hi!!!!" to let us know that you are okay.

Come to think of it....backspace has been missing for a long time too. I know that she changed her avi, but I used to enjoy seeing the one with the kitty pop up every now and then. I hope that she is doing fine too.

Hi gals:

I'm back online. Hubby made a nice fire tonight in the firepit on the deck and we sat outside roasting hot dogs. He roasted marshmellows. We stayed out until it got too cold.

I started a new sweater DROPS top with Rib and lace pattern in “Paris”. Size S - XXXL. ~ DROPS Design, we'll see how it turns out. I havent knit a sweater in so long. I've kind of got the knitting bug again. The yarn for the sweater was $6 at Joann with their 40% off coupon. I'm an inch into it so far.

I'd forgotten about backspace. I hope she is ok. Thats the nature of a diet forum, people fall off their diets and away from the forum. Sad, but true. I think a forum is motivational, your friends keep you from falling off your diet, like peer pressure, but in a good way.

[*Pear*]

I think Jean was going to be gone for awhile. She was taking the train ride to eastern washington, spend some time at David's house before taking the train back. I'm sure she has her hands full.

Click, how tall are you? With your goal, I imagine you are probably around 5'2"? I'm 5'8" with a large bone structure, so I'll probably settle in at 160 happily.

How is your oldest doing? Have you heard much from him since you moved? Is he getting along ok over at the grandparents house?

That happened to us last winter when we stayed with my parents for a couple of months. Even though I took over the kitchen most of the time, my mother was still doing most of the shopping, and all the vegetables seemed to be carrots or swede (rutabaga) or something - I was craving green leafy things. My husband and I stopped off at the supermarket on our way back from the hospital one day and ended up with a trolley piled high with spinach, cabbage and assorted salads! I never thought I'd end up craving cabbage .

Just putting the coffee on ready for the early birds .

*looking at Ailuros with one eye open* God bless you, my child.

*taking a sip of coffee that Ailuros made* After my 2nd cup, I should be human again.

You are, the Food Porn Queen.

Mmmmm...roasted hot dogs!!!! I don't know why, but I actually like hotdogs....now, I dunk them in mayo.

I love the sweater vest!!!! I wish that I knew how to knit. Maybe, you could come here and teach me!!!!!!

Sad, but true!!!!!! The time when we would be needed most...when others are falling off the woe...they run from us too. They probably just don't want to talk about it....it's easier to ignore, than to confront the problem with anything in life.

I used to be 5'7.5", but I think that I have shrunk. I'm not large boned though.

He with his untalkative personality hasn't called, or e-mailed me. I suppose that I will need to call him. He's always busy when I call there, but my mother says that he is doing fine, and, also, helping out around there. (I told him that he'd have to be an a$$kisser for it to work around there...before I left!!!! He laughed...then, stopped...put on a serious face...and said,"I know!!!")

Isn't it strange the things that we crave? I never would have ever guessed that I would crave salad.

Well....I hope that I won't feel bad in the near future for what I did last night. I accepted more cleaning hours. When a full-time job comes around, if the hours don't match....I will have to give the hours up cleaning. Just what they don't want...if they give people accounts to keep up. I will feel terrible, but I need the hours!!!

L&F, don't feel bad. You're not deliberately messing them about, and the inconvenience to you of having no money is worse than the inconvenience to them of having to find new staff.

I know...but it's just hard for me to be like that...s
