Just wanted to wish you good luck in finding a "day job". It must be wonderful to be in a relationship where your partner expresses how much he misses you. My other half is just too reserved to show such sensitivity. We have very little time together, as our days off and our work schedules are so different. Unfortunately, it bothers me, more than it bothers him. Good luck, Karen G

WOW. Nice pics. Love the one that "morphs"... its totally cool. Karen G

Hello Donna, I'm with Ron especially since you can't sleep in the day. This new job opportunity sounds great. I hope you get it. Those would be great hours and off weekends. cool!!! I work Saturday's and I'm off a day during the week. It's nice because I do my laundry and house chores. Oh and I get to watch my soaps. LOL (((hugs))) Diana

Hello Donna, Thanks for sharing your picture. You look great. I want to see a new body shot. Hubby and I did yard work Sunday (mowed and raked etc.) for two hours. I am still so sore. I went and walked last night with my support group. I did the whole hour even though I was sore and didn't want to. I made myself. Have a great day. I'm enjoying my day off today. Diana 379/174/?

I don't have a husband to have trouble with, but I'm definitely in the same boat as you on the weight loss plateau. I haven't lost much since last October or so, varying between -90 and -100. Until lately I've been sitting pretty steady at -100, with 5 to go to get to onderland. I did make the scale go down to -103 last week by drastically cutting out the carbs and upping the protein to 120-150 grams per day but this week I'm back up a couple. The carbs that I do eat I try to confine to a few whole grain products, occasional fresh fruit, green veggies. I had my thyroid checked to make sure that my medication levels were OK. I had been upping my exercise, until I landed in PT with tendonitis in my right shoulder (and I'm right handed). I can't say that thte exercise has revolutionized my metabolism. I would like to sign up at my local Y with one of their trainers to develop a weight program for me, but can't do that until I get my shoulder straightened out. Right now it is too painful, although the strength is gradually increasing. I vary in the sizes I wear. My jeans are 16W, although in some other brands I wear a 20W. Some shirts/blouses I wear are size 16, but I have one on today that says it is a 22 and I'm not drowning. If I'd get to a size 14, I'd be happy. good luck finding what works for you, Sue O.
