FRIDAY ROLL-ALITTLE LATE

Good Morning Everyone: What a busy week and weekend for me. Its my daughter Erin's birthday on Monday the 31st. She is my halloween baby. Its so much fun. We had two parties yesterday. One with her grandparents in the afternoon and then my three wonderful cousins came over last night with their families for Erin. Its so busy for us this month with Erin's birthday and our niece Kacey who is the same day but three years older. I think we have something every weekend until after the holidays. Next weekend Erin is having her friend party at a local ceramic place, its going to be so much fun. I am still stuck on these five pounds up and down, up and down. I am trying not to get discouraged. Everyone has been so supportive to me here on the board. Kathy wants to take my scale away. She is such a great friend. Maryjo gives me such great support and she is such a wonderful friend to me, she is like the sister I never had. Happy Anniversary to her and Tom!!!!!!! They are the best, such inspirations to me. I am so lucky to have met such wonderful friends on this site. I am very fortunate. It really is great when I need advice or just to talk. I am now at 218.5, I keep going back and forth in the 220s and I want so bad to get out of the 200s. I know I have to be patient, I am trying, but I get scared and think I am going to go back. Its a beautiful weekend, the weather has been great so far. Its so cold though, I dont have those layers that kept me warm anymore and boy do I get cold faster. I need serious layers of clothes now. I hope everyone is doing well and enjoying there weekend. Hey JA, where are you??? Have not seen you on the board in awhile, hope your ok sweetie??? Love ya all KimC

Kim, where and when is the next support group meeting you plan to attend. Sounds like you need some inspiration. Not that I'm qualified, but perhaps just another set of ears. I just had another surgery last week, but I'm beginning to feel much better now and would be glad to come out that way. --Steve

Hi Kim, I so feel your pain! I've been up/down up/down...same 4-5 lbs. Trying like mad not to fall back into "old" routine and BAD habits. I haven't been able to go to support group, as I work a 2nd job, and it's been wild there! Tomorrow is our next one, and again, I can't make it This is NOT easy, but I refuse to give up. Starting today, I am back on the boards, and here to stay. Life has been busy for me, as you can all see. But some good stuff too. Went to a friend's wedding a few weeks ago and got to wear a "pretty" dress. Then last weekend, I went to my 30th high school reunion, and most people didn't recognize me WOO HOOOOOO!!! It was a blast! I'm so grateful to have this tool, but I need to get back on track. Thanks to all of you for your support. Even though I don't post much, I do read. xoxoxoxoxo JA
