Just wanted to say.. (also Tuesday Weigh In! **late**)

I am so sorry for being distant lately.. I have just been up to my ears getting ready for the holidays - shopping, baking, wrapping and mandatory education stuff at work. Do know that I feel a bit disconnected with you guys right now, I don't like it. I will be back after Christmas in full swing. I will be going to Kansas City on Christmas Eve and back in time to work the weekend after Christmas. This weekend I taking vacation (my only vacation weekend this whole year!) - husband's annual family reunion is that weekend. They have soups for dinner so I will be having chili and will bring a SF dessert for me and all the diabetics on his side.. it will be fine. So weird how some days I struggling emotionally, mentally with food, other days like today.. could just care less.. anyone else feel this way? Couple days I coulda gnawed off my hand for dinner.. today I am forgetting to eat. Anyway.. I forgot about Tuesday's weigh day I have been so busy. I am still holding in the 136 area, I did get down to 133.6 for a couple days but back up again.. seem to be maintaining for the most part though. HW: 328 SW: 280 LW: (2 weeks ago) 136.2 CW: 136.4 How did everyone else do? Have a good week.. I will check in as I can.

Hi Melissa I have not been around much lately either. There is so much to do this time of year. I am ENOYING all my Christmas cards so THANK YOU to everyone I am the same as last week. I soooo want to get in the 30's and I know I will but HELLO I want to NOW. HW-358 SW-338 LW-240 CW-240 I am watching the biggest loser and AMAZED at how well they have all done and it makes me realize I need to EXCERSE more. I keep thinking I will like it if I keep doing it but so far I do not like sweating....lol D

Hi! Feels like the same problem here for me too. I'm just not able to devote the time to the group that I'd like to and it bothers me also. There has even been a day this past week that I didn't journal any food intake and that REALLY, REALLY bothers me. Hope your celebrations will go well. Hope you have more days that you don't think about food than days when you want to knaw off that hand. (I've had a few of that kind the last couple of days!) I hope that once Christmas is over I'll be able to slow down and get back to a normal routine again. There are just so many pressures bearing down right now, I'm sure we all experience pretty much the same things: gifts need to be wrapped, cooking or baking for holiday parties, preparing the house for family and guests...etc. The typical stuff. No change in the weight this week, pretty cool for a December week! HW: 268 SW: 230 LW: 131.5 CW: 131.5 Only one week to go! Molly

Hi Everyone! Just like all of you I have been up to my eyeballs in shopping, wrapping and parties. I have been pleased with my food choices at most of the events - there were some crackers with too much butter but I got over the guilt. Anyway, just wanted to say hello and wish everyone a Happy Sugriversary!!! My one year anniversary was yesterday and I am happy to report a loss of 156 pounds since my surgery, I currently weigh 189! Wow, that feels good. There are good things ahead for all of us in 2008!!!!!!

Hey, Mel... With all that you've had going on lately with the Drs, no problem that you've been a little MIA. Hope that you get good news about your gallbladder. Ro

Thanks Ro.. Gallbaldder came back clear! Yeah for that! *hugs*
