I'm back and Thanks to everybody!

Thanks to everyone who posted on my pre vacation post to let me know how they are doing! Lisa, Lynn, Erica, Sara, Rebecca, Pam, Kerri, Deb, Leslie and Monica!!! I am glad you are doing fun things this summer and to those of you struggling with the weight loss, you are not alone!! I was sooooo naughty over vacation. I went to Mackinaw Island, Fudge Capital of the World!! Bad idea! I nibbled that stupid stuff for days!! And it is still calling to me from the fridge! I am gonna pawn it off on my kids!! LOL!! Well it is nice to be back and know what is going on in the world! Love you all, Wendy

HEY WELCOME HOME! GLAD you had a nice trip! SORRY to hear you were naughty with fudge! BUT your home now and will get on track. THANKS for your kind caring words on my health issue that arrised last week...came out of no where for me but now that I look back this has been festering for months now I was just clueless and was feeding the ulcer to feel better which has proly the culprit for my stall. WELL BACK ON TRACK NOW FOR ME! I am in the same bought as the others and not really looseing! Actually I had gone up 5 lbs but that is gone and im at my lo number this morning. SO now i got to break down this number and get thru a REAL STALL!

Thanks Lisa! I agree, back on the wagon! Off the fudge! Back to the protein coffee!! I know I used vacation as an excuse to eat what I wanted. If it wasn't for all the walking around sight seeing and stuff I would have gained 40 lbs!! Wendy

Wendy~ Glad to have you back safe and sound! Fudge~ ughhh!!! I know how you feel, I've been doing nothing but cooking with my family for our reunion yesterday. I've eaten more sugar in the last week than I have all year long! As soon as everyone leaves, it's back to exercise, protein, and no more sugar!!!! Are ya back on track now? I think we all need to help each other out in any way possible. Hugs, Kerri

Yeah I am hoping I am back on track. For some reason, I do better at home. It is like the comfort zone for me. Although I am definitely getting rid of the fudge!! I bought 2 lbs of it before we came home!! I think my kids can kill it off and not suffer for it. I hate to dump it on them, I feel guilty, but they generally eat good and I don't usually give them alot of sugar. How was your reunion! I wish I had a big family to do that with. I don't have much of a family and what I do have is so scattered and not close. I am only close with my parents and two sisters. I don't have cousins or anything that I keep in touch with. Wendy

Hey Wendy, Thanks! We are home now from Europe and it was great. This was the first time I have ever gone on vacation and actually lost weight. I lost about 8 lbs overall, at one point 10! I'm finally under 150 and hope to stay there now. So glad to be back home, but we had the time of our lives, and this was definitely a trip of a lifetime. Good to be back with my OH family. Love, Deb

Good for you Deb! I am finally at a point where I can feel the last few pounds now! I never thought I would be so close to goal! I have about 30 and then plastics. I bet Europe was wonderful. I have always wanted to see it. Especially Italy and Germany. I love old architecture and the buildings there are so fantastic. Wendy

Welcome home Wendy, We missed you while you were gone. The board has been pretty quiet. I think we are all our enjoying our new bodies. I know I have been excercising a lot. Glad your home Lynn

Thanks Lynn. Wendy

Welcome home Wendy. Good to hear that you had a grand time on vacation. Ah, fudge one of my favorites too. Good thought about giving it to your kids. Why does food call us once we take the first bite?? I have food calling me too... Take care, Lucy
