THANKS

Britt girl, You just ROCK!! I know WE will both do better next week, just you wait and see!! Sending HUGS your way, Deidrah

Hello Britt and other November buddies, I didn't check in last week. We were on spring break. I work for the school system as a diagnostician so I had the week off along with my kids and my hubby. Well it was spring break and I broke! I had a little while without obsession but it came back with vengence. I am starting a "time out" - all liquid protein today and will do it until I've removed the 6 pounds I've gained. I might just do it through Friday for good measure - then maybe I'll feel a litttle more controlled. Cece asked about my dogs and I thought everyone might like to know. I have the foster dog plus my 3 right now. His name is Boo Boo but for some reason they have him listed on Petfinder as Billy Bob. He is a great dog. A little food agressive but that is pretty much a beagle trait. He is such a sweatheart. I know that we will be able to find him a great home. He is good with the kids - of course the youngest is 9 but she will bother a dog to death because she loves them so much. He doesn't bother my cat. He loves to be petted and have attention. Likes to sleep with me. He does the cutest thing sitting up on his back legs and putting his front ones up. He likes to chew on things but so far he has avoided shoes. Stuffed animals and any piece of plastic seem fair game. He is just a doll. Starting weight: 358 Last time I reported: 149 This Week: 172 Gain this week : +5 Total loss = 186 Focus: Focus: Focus: Focus: Trudy

Hi Deidrah! YOU CAN DO THIS GIRL! *we* can do this!!!! *we* have the POWER to make the right CHOICES that honor *us* and the tool we have been given. here's to a nice loss next week! Stay focused and BE DETERMINED! Hugs, Britt

Hi Everyone! Happy S*p*r*i*n*g* yippeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Sorry, I wasn't around last week. As you know we had another week of *sick days* here ...so tiring. I hope that all of you had a nice Easter (if you celebrate it). My daughters had a ball!!!! It is so grea****ching them experience the wonder of the holidays. They are so cute!!! I finally got back to the gym on Friday, I was happy to be back, but I could tell I wasn't there for a week. It is amazing - how used your body get to exercise and how easy it could be to get out of your exercise routine. I am running another 5k this coming Sunday. I've inspired a few ladies from my support group to run their *very first run* -I am going to run right beside them and encourage them all the way to the finish line. I am running another 5k race in April and I will compete (against me) at that race. This is going to be a rough week (especially today).... We had to find a new home for our dog "Spencer" (a shih-tzu) - He is not good with our kids. We have known this for a while and been hoping things would change, they haven't!!! My kids love Spencer - he doesn't feel the same - it is an accident waiting to happen. So we found a new home for him and she is coming tonight to pick him up. We got him as a puppy in 2000 and he was *our baby* once the kids came he wasn't a happy camper and only liked adults. Kids = less attention to Spencer. I am an emotional eater and know this is going to be a challenging week! *please keep me in your prayers* I am determined to lose this week - not gain! My weight is still the same. I have to go to my surgeon Thursday and see a *gain* on his scale. I NOT happy about that! But I *KNOW* I have to go. I have made up my mind, to be serious and *get back to basics* I feel *gross* with these extra pounds on me and I have to get rid of those lil buggers! anyway ...enough about *me* Tell me / us .... How are you doing? What is going on? Are you on track? Off track? Exercising? Not? Happily Maintaining? Struggling? Share ~ Share ~ Share ~ Here we go ... Starting weight 250.5 Last week = 149 This week = 149 Loss this week = x Total loss = 101.5 Current BMI = 24.1 have a great week! Stay focused & keep your eyes on that prize. hugs, Britt
