Hey Tammy, I didn't get any walking in yesterday. And I forgot my stupid walking shoes again today! I am so scatterbrained lately. I can't seem to remember important stuff or concentrate on anything. Work is heck right now with school ending next week. My kids are so busy with 2 sports each, not to mention my daughter starts driver's ed on Monday. I don't have time to fart! I keep telling my husband that we need to plan a weekend away from it all but it never works out. I am ready to pull my hair out by the roots if something doesn't change soon! I just feel so stressed out lately. And nothing makes me madder than when I get home later than everyone else and come home to a messy house. Nobody has lifted a finger to do anything. I have to get angry and start cleaning before anyone will do anything. Last night I started in the kitchen loading the dishwasher, cooked dinner, did 3 loads of laundry, cleaned my bathroom and bedroom. And had to TELL them what needed to be done in the living room! UH DUH! Have you taken a look around??? Dishes, socks, shoes, chewed up paper from the puppy, backpacks, sports bags, etc. lying around just waiting to be picked up. And you would have thought by the way they looked at me that I was a crazy woman for asking them to vacuum! I need to de-stress. I need a vacation!!!!! Mexico sounds right fine about now! On a more positive note, my weight is back down to 175 after a 4lb gain over the last few days... Take care, Lori 281/175/140-150

Hey Nancy!! Thanks so much for your note and kind words.. This is like a Deja vu..Another friend I've made thru my support group is named Nancy, she is 5-8 and had surgery 8/16..LOL we call ourselves twins- cuz we're one day apart.. and she is like you- around 170 and has 20 lbs to goal... While I am happy for both you and her..I keep thinking- GOD I am so far OFF..but we all lose weight differently- and Im shorter - and losing at whatever pace my body is choosing. SO..CONGRATULATIONS GIRL!!!! ( I read your profile) and you are doing and looking so great.. AND isn't it a trip when you catch yourself out of the corner of yur eye- in a reflective mirror or window- and you say- IS THAT ME? Its so hard to believe the silhouette- becuz it was so big for so long! ..I actually make jokes now and say my ass is finally smaller, & my tummy is now smaller than my ass! PLUS I really love all my new clothes.Sized 18/ 16 and I fit into a 14 dress! This has been so liberating for me..I am finally released from the bondage food held me in. Half a sandwich (minus bread) usually fills me- or even half a wrap sandwich..(and I dont usually like the wrap) LOL, but I'm okay with it My birthday is 7/16- one month before my surgiversary- and Im going to be 50 and look 30 something and LOVE every minute of it. We are in the best health and I cannot believe it when I say- I look better NOW than I did 15 or 20 yrs ago! AND be in better health? WHO can say that? We are all so blessed. Keep up the good work. Oh and how did you get the century card? I need one for my page..its such a huge accomplishment. GO FOR THE GOLD!! HUGS Donna 325/220/145
