Who am I missing?  I am sorry if I missed you! (even tho I am sure you are NOT sorry I put your name out there).

Yep! I am calling us all out.  Now ladies... let's make some changes and get back to basics so we can show ourselves that we are not gonna fail at this.  We took drastric measures to get our health and life back together, let's not give it up to old pal, aka food.  Remember nothing tastes as good as skinny feels and NOTHING beats being healthy... without health, we truly have nothing.  I have always believed that.

SOOO what is our strategy for keping on track ladies? Input input!!!!!!

Love you all! Group hug, please don't hate me!!! (((((December Babies))))))

Grrrrr....I am mad with you!  How awful to think it is any business of this Bruja's to be the weight police for you.  I take it this person has never had a weight struggle, eats perfectly right and exercises every day?  Must be, what else gives her the right to make comments like that????

You SHOW her!  But whether it is with the Bruja Initiative or just by being a better person than her...you make yourself happy.  That's an order.

No progress on my weight issues this summer.  This past week has been TOM from hell prefaced by  PMS from hell and Eating from hell.  Sigh....  I'll get it under control, I promise.  Till then I am not going to stress about it but just try to keep it under control.  A lovely bout of dumping followed by rebound hypoglycemia this morning was a good dose of cold water-reality.

End-of-Summer/Autumn Goal: 143 again.  I CAN do it, will I MAKE myself do it? 

Starting water aerobics next week.  Planned to do it this week but Ma Nature intervened so I took the week off early.   Yeah yeah, what a wuss.

I am just now checking in as I have been in Kansas City the past week, sorry to be so late and be absent.  I commented just now on your other post but I too would be motified and driven to exceed to get those 20 lbs off which is nothing in the grand scheme of things, with some hard work, determiniation that will be off in no time Dawn, I know it.  Keep up the good work my friend!!

UGH, I am way up.  I have been eating bad too myself.  Back to the grind for real... I feel uncomfortable and not loving it.  Kick me in the pants too will ya?  I am up 6 from my lowest after PS.

185.. I think.  I can't find the easy read scale, just the old fashioned one.  But it's been too damn HOT to cook in the house, and baby been cranky from hell because of it, so been relying on microwave Lean Cuisines, sandwiches and Smart Ones for the last two weeks.

I go back to work on the 17th of August, so I have to really make an effort the next several weeks to finalize Caitlin's daily schedule, and include time in there for me to exercise and start fixing my meals properly.

Hubby and I already talked about it, because .. well, we don't want me to have to buy any new work clothes, and I'm only willing to wear medical scrubs one or two days a week.  I much prefer my work clothes.. and all I have left are size 12's.  I tossed everything else out, or gave to friends/charity, so if I don't pull off at least another 10 lbs to fit kind of tightly into my work clothes .. I'm gonna cry.
