What is wrong with me??

Love your new avitar  Christina

Don't feel too bad, but I have a warning for you as well. I did my 6 month diet, gained and lost the same couple pounds. All in all I gained 5 then lost 10 by doing a liquid diet. Not protein shakes just clear liquids. It was not a good way to lose it I know but they kept telling me I needed to lose between 15-20 pounds. I tried the whole 6 months and I did exercise, I swam and I walked. I started walking further 1.5 miles when I started the liquid diet. It did help me to lose the 10 pounds. When I went for the weigh in they said well you lost 10 but you had gained those 5. So they want me to wait another month before they submit. Its up to me though and with much support from family, friends, and people on this board I decided to have them submit and take my chances. Remember though you need to do the exercise and walking is fine to help you lose, and its helping you in the long run. Good Luck!                           Renee

Thanks Renee for the warning.  I am going to get my game on now!  lol I will go for a walk tonight with my oldest to keep in touch with him and see how life is for him.  I am thinking that maybe every time I walk, I'll take one dog and one kid so we can stay in touch.  I don't want my kids to think that they can't talk to me.  So far so good with them being very open and honest with me.  Thanks so much!

Congratulations on your good kids.  You know what helped mine?     Youth Group at church.  We had a dinomite Youth Pastor that helped so much in the areas where I could not be.  My oldest son is a Pastor / Youth Director now for a church here in town.  Good Luck on your walks!!!

Great idea Monica!  Now your thinkin  Sounds like a win, win situation for all. Christina

Nothing is wrong with you hon.  I can't tell you anymore than what the others have told you, but we are all here for you. Dee
