Topic: RE: Hump Day the PMA Way
You are right of course - it isn't shame really. I should be proud of my achievment getting this far...
I too miss the support and cheer leaders we used to have on this board, but I have to accept that people have moved on and our journeys are no longer similar.
Topic: RE: Hump Day the PMA Way
That's where your thinking has gone awry....you feel it as shame, I see it as one more path to choose! I'm not losing now, as a matter of fact i'm gaining and losing the same 3lbs each and every week! What i'd like is an eating plan that works for me. I can't go without carbs completely, it just isn't my norm but i'd like to learn to incorporate healthy carbs for brain function. What i'd like to do is have a team cheering me on to victory like we used to do for one another at the beginning of this journey. Now this board feels more like individual floating islands as opposed to everyone brought together by common threads. Hugs, ANDI

As you know I've been throwing the idea of joining a slimming club around for weeks now. The thing that scares me is that I'm not losing now, but it's only me and you guys that know. If I join, then I'll have that shame to add to it 
Topic: RE: Hump Day the PMA Way
i'm so thrilled that you managed to avoid saying and behaving in a manner that would be unbecomming to you. I'm having a tough time at work lately and I'm reacting through food and that's got to stop. Tomorrow I am joining weigh****cher's and in a way it's almost a relief. ANDI

Topic: RE: Hump Day the PMA Way
Thanks Andi
I really need this lately, but especially today:
1. I managed to keep my cool and not respond in a way that I would have later regretted to one of my sisters behaviour and words...(it's a long story!)
2. I managed to remain my own woman and not revert to the 'youngest sister' syndrome
3. I plan on having an early night
4. I am laying old ghosts from my Dad's and my past relationship to rest.

Hi Andi!
Great job for wanting to join Weigh****chers! I belong to TOPS (Take Off Pounds Sensibly) which is very similar to Weigh****chers, only cheaper! I love having the accountability of weighing in each week and have support from others. I love it!
Today I am taking a class at my gym called Barriers to Body Change ... it's supposed to help you deal with what to eat when you're exercising and how to make the most of your exercise routine. It's just a one night class but I'm hoping it will give me some inspiration or something! I'm also making my husband take the class with me so hopefully he'll get motivated! Ha, ha!

Hello Folks! We haven't done these in a while and I think it's time to start pouring some life back into this board! Any great things happening to you lately? Any mediocre things happening? Tell me what's going on with you:
P - positive
M - mental
A - Attitude
1. I bought my son a tallis yesterday and that means he will be bar mitzvah'd in style
2. We finally got the boy his clothes for his own bar mitzvah, he was the last one and he's got everything from shoes on up, he needs underwear only and that is it
3. I am going to join weigh****chers on Thursday and hope the weekly accountabilty brings me closer to goal. I have 15lbs until i reach the surgeons goal and that's where I want to be by my 2 year anniversary
4. I am cleaning out the papers in my house and I am finding out what a pack rat i've been and I dislike that about myself.

Topic: RE: Who Inspires You?
As far as weight loss I would have to say the people on the Grad board who post with me each day. they are not affraid to say when they have a good or bad day, share their feelings and support each other. I watch their habits and try to follow them. I also think that with wieght loss and maintian, it is intrinsic.. meaning I inspire myself. I am proud of what I have done and work hard everyday to keep the weight off. thats why I post on that board everyday. It lets me know I am doing ok and I can be proud of myself.
As far as in life, there are many who inspire me for many different reasons. For their gifts they bring the world, the research they dedicate their lives too and for the caring of others that bring them down the path they take. I look to them to make myself a better person inside and one that can give to society in a positive and constructive way.
I guess for me my journey to weight loss success if not the only thing I think about anymore (although still a major part of my life) I look to what I can do in other venues to give back.
Glad to see you all again. I keep track of you even though I dont post often anymore.. I still love you all and care how you are doing in your journey.

Topic: RE: AGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Hdy Ruthie. I dont understand the gain. I know you are doing everything right. I also know you started exercising. that in itself will have u gain a bit before you loose. Muscle swell and retain fluids. It will eventually let go. I saw you post about that new surgery. i hope you dont go there and can work it out with wls you already have. Sometimes we gotta play with the number to see what works for us. Keep working at it and you will find the formula for you.
We all care and know right now you are struggling. be good to yourself and dont let it get you down. I am still around just havent posted much as I am so busy at work and home. You are always near and dear in my heart. You will make it my friend.. Look how much you have already done.
