Topic: RE: WEIGH-IN OR REPORT IN
I know I am WAAYY late in responding to this, but I am way overdue to be back on these boards. I am relieved to see other people having the same type of problem I am having. Mine seems to be just slightly worse... I have been gaining weight steadily since May. I went from 139 to 154 and I am just not sure what else I can do. I am at curves 6 days a week, I am making the healthiest decisions possible whenver I can... I don't eat out as often as I used to. It's just really frustrating. 15 pounds is a lot for 6 months. Thats over 2 lbs a month. sucks.
I really am thinking that being back on the boards and the support of people going through what I am going through will make a difference... hopefully.

Topic: OK I AM BACK
Ok I have been gone for a while, Life has been busy had my surgery, then I met a great man, go married living my happy little life, I lost sight of the goal, so I am back and I really need to get A FIRE LIT UNDER MY BUTT. So here I am people, I am back and in desperate need of motivation.
Topic: Vintage jeans
Over the years, I had hung onto a bunch of clothes that I bought during the one time in my life that I was thin - briefly. About five years ago, I finally gave up and got rid of all except for one pair of jeans that I bought new in 1978. I always hoped that one day I would be able to wear them again. Since my surgery, I have tried them on about once a month, and up until about six months ago I couldn't get them past my knees. Imagine my joy the day I could actually pull them up. For the last couple of months, I have been able to wear them, but they were pretty snug. You know the type - high waist and absolutely no room for pudge in the belly. Now they fit with room to spare! Tomorrow is a conference day at work - no kids. I think that I might just wear them. Oh the joy of being thin!
Topic: RE: 130s for good???
Yep, I think that I am also "stuck" in the 130's. What an awesome predicament! I'm loving it. I think that is where my body is supposed to be. Think about all those years we have made excuses, like "I'm big-boned", and "it runs in my family". I feel that I am truly home in myself now. Do you find that others are telling you that you are "too skinny" and "stop losing weight already"? Never thought that would happen.

It sounds like your aunt was a very special person. It must be very lonely to live with someone for so many years and then lose them. I love geneology too. In Salt Lake City they have a great Gemeology library. My best friend from California are going to go there and spend a day looking up ancestors. It will be fun having here here. I have a lot of photos and don't have a clue who half the people are in the photos.
Cleaning out their room is so hard. You see things that you remember them wearing and I ended up keeping my mom's clothes to make quilts for all my children. They still have her scent on them. When I open the suitcase, it's like she is here.
well hang in there my friend, you are a very special person.
Hugs,
Esther

Well, she would have been 99 in January. Her husband passed in April 2004. They were married 74 years. All she's wanted to do since is join him. :) Her passing wasn't unexpected at all. Her younger sister, my grandmother, passed away Christmas morning 1996. I was 7 months pregnant. So, though it's my second favorite holiday (Halloween rocks!), it's always a very emotional day for me. My parents come here for Christmas dinner as does my grandfather. He's a VERY young 92. Obviously longevity runs on my dad's side. LOL Today's the funeral and we've been cleaning out her room where she was staying. She saved EVERYTHING. I now have a bunch of photos of my great-great grandmother, my great grandmother and the siblings who passed way before I was born. She knows I love genealogy and we'd sat together many afternoons writing down who was in the pictures. It's pretty cool to be able to learn so much about those generations before. :) So, it's rough on us but we know she's sooooooooooooooooo happy to be reunited with her husband. So, there's the joy in it all. And, she'd be impressed. I bought a suit to wear to the funeral. The jacket is a small, the blouse an x-small and size 4 slacks. LOL She always saw me in jeans so she'd be thrilled I dressed up just for her. LOL

Hi Cyndi,
Sorry to hear about your Aunt passing away. It is so hard to lose a loved one, especially duriing the holidays. All the stores are playiing Christmas music and all the chistmas toys, etc are out. It's too soon for me too. I have so much to do.
The holidays are kind of sad for me because both my parents are gone and my favorite aunt who was like a mother to me is also gone so even though I have 4 children and lots of grandchildren I wish that my parents and auntie were still here. My brothers both live far away so I don't get to see them either. I know it's hard for you losing your aunt but she is probably watching over you.
Hugs,
Esther
