Weekly Weigh In week of 4/28/08

Hi all, One day late posting but better late than never. It has been awhile since i have posted because this past winter was not good to me food wise as i did not make the best choise's as far as food. For the last three weeks i have been back on my food plan to a tee and have not been grazing like i did all winter. Over the winter i had gained back 18lbs well that had to stop so i got back on the plan and started to lose again. I read your blogs every day and that helps alot. Your all are great ladys and men which give me alot of support, so keep it up. STARTING WEIGHT= 571.2 LAST WEEK= 385.8 THIS WEEK= 374.4 LOSS= 11.4lbs TILL NEXT TIME BOB

Congrats on reeling it back in and getting BACK ON TRACK! Bravo Bob - It is soooo easy to get off and not so easy to get back on board - looks like you are back in the saddle Congrats on your weight loss - nice to hear from you again hugs, Britt

Britt and Everyone, I had my face lift on Friday and I'm still so swollen that I can barely get my mouth open! I'm eating soup and crackers mostly! My eyes are slits so I'm not on the computer much ut I am reading the posts! Sorry I can't answer everything right now. Britt, I do see you are just about back to goal! Great job!!! I finally hit the 120s. Funny how not being able to open your mouth affects your weight!!!!! Beginning weight: 245.25 This Week: 128.00 Total Loss: 117.25 BMI: 22.0 CeCe

I am happy. wow 128 - you *little* stinker you :rofl - I know you wanted to get there - and lookie lookie YOU ARE THERE. I hope that you feel back to normal and are out of swell hell soon sending you soft hugs, Britt

Good morning all. I have had another crazy week but I am handling everything pretty well, I guess. That is - until yesterday. I think I mentioned this earlier but when I told my boss what was going on and that I was bringing my Mom to live with me, he was very agreeable and understanding. He said he would work with me on an alternative work schedule. Well, yesterday I needed to leave early to help my Mom get out of bed and so I told my boss that. He said I needed to come up with a schedule and I asked him what type of alternative work schedule he would be happy with. He told me that I needed to work 8 hours a day at the office every day, that we don't do telecommuting! I always get my hours in, whether it be at work or at home. So basically he is going back on everything he told me less than 2 weeks ago. I don't know what I am going to do. I can't afford to lose my job but I am not going to sacrifice my Mom's well-being either. Any suggestions? Okay. Now my stats. Sorry I didn't get a chance to post this until now! Starting weight: 233+ Last week: 136.2 This week: 135.8 Loss: .4 BMI: 21.2? Have a great week! Susan

Susan, I am sorry to hear that you boss has gone back on his word. It shouldn't matter where you get your work done, as long as it is done. He originally said that right? I am afraid that I don't have any advice for you but I can certainly commiserate. You have to take the best care possible of your mother. PERIOD. Are you getting as much outside help as you can/can afford? Don't be afraid to ask for help is the only advice I have. My thoughts are with you. Let us know how things are progressing. Great week staying on track with your weight! Hugs, Valorie

Thanks Valorie. I definitely get my work done and put in a full 8 hours, whether it is at work or at home. I am getting all the help I need and my family/friends have been very supportive. But this really bugs me. I'm going to talk to him today about it - hopefully I won't get fired! I'm not going to be mean but I just want to know why he basically lead me on and then dropped me. Mom is doing pretty good and adjusting as best she can after being in the same house for 40 years. It's just going to take some time. Thank you! Susan

Hi Susan, I'd schedule a sit down with your boss and *call him on it.* Tell him: 1) as usual your work will be complete - 2)you would never take advantage of this situation - 3) you thought he understood your current situation - ask him if something has changed??? That is BS in my opinion - stress that should not be added to an alreday stressful situation. congrtas on your loss! you rock! keep us posted hugs, Britt

I'm going to talk to him but I'm nervous. I have to figure out exactly what I want to say and stick to that. Thanks for the support. I am under quite a bit of stress right now but I am okay. I just really don't need this added to it! Susan

Good luck, Susan, I know you will handle it well. I hope your mom is feeling better. Is the love life still going well?! CeCe
