Sad

Seems like we are all doing a bit of lurking lately My immediate goal is to try and stay away from the candy and keep my 100lbs loss - I'm wavering at the moment a little up a little down - you know how it goes. It gets frustrating doesn't it. After that, I want to keep plugging away to lose more and get to a normal BMI. Not sure how I'm going to do that. I may do the 5 day plan again in a few weeks, once my life has settled down a bit. I've been stress eating this week, which has annoyed me. I need to get that under control. How many 10k's have you done now - they must be so exhilarating. I wish I could be there to cheer you on. I've got rid of my rowing macine as I wasn't using it. I've also got rid of my car and now share with my husband (in an effort to save money!). So I am now walking much more than I ever have and am enjoying that. The weather hasn't been bad yet, not sure if I'll still enjoy it when it's raining I'm planning on getting a bike once we can afford it. My daughter learnt to ride hers this summer and now loves riding everywhere, so I thought we could go out together.

Thanks everyone it's good to know I'm not alone. Ruth

Hi from another Lurker!!! I read almost daily, but rarely post. A year ago, there was alot of activity on this little board. hmmmm, just getting on with our skinny lives you think?

Hi Cindy Your name is familiar, but is that a new picture? You look fab. Well, now you are out in the open you'll have to post more often I don't want to be here on my own...hee hee, nothing like a bit of emotional blackmail to get people out in the open !!! Only kidding, but it would be lovely to see you more and get to know you - I love making new friends.

Hey Ruth, Yep, that's a new pic. Finally got around to updating. Kat Atkinson left a message on my profile telling me to get a new picture! I used to have my granddaughter as my avatar, cause no one else is a cute as she is (proud grandma!!) emotional blackmail is so effective, right?? I use it all the time on my kids, works every time, ha. You are right, we should all come together again and post more often. At 1 1/2 years out, we all face new challenges, and since the honeymoon phase is ending, I know I'm going to need encouragement. Talk to all soon, have a great Friday. Cindy

I'm still here and lurk everyday. I use to post all the time but got tired of talking to myself. They were getting ready to take me away I think. I miss all of you too and would post more but everyone seems to be gone anymore. That said.. I hope you all are doing good, continuing your journeys and having a great life. It's nice to see how we're all doing and to see everyone come out of hiding once in a while. Carla

(((((((((((((Carla)))))))))))) we have all come a long way together haven't we. I guess our needs change the further out we get and the different places in our journey we are. But I always have a need for friends. I know what you mean about talking to yourself - mindyou, I say at least you get the answers you like that way Maybe we all need to make a pact to ALL make the effort to generate posts and 'talk' more. As a commercial for a telephone company says over here... 'It's good to talk'

I miss y'all alot too!!!!!!!!!!! hopefuly my bony ass will have more time to get on here as the weather gets colder ................

I agree. I have been 'sad' lately, just my life getting the better of me. but I am keeping my eye on the goal. to maintain my success. it is not that hard, but I find that I am still solving my problems with nibbles of food. fortunately, I have not stretched my pouch, but WHAT I put in there is not a good choice. ;)

Hi Kat Are you still relocating? How are the preparations going if you are?
