Hello!!!

So I have been gone for a while now.  And since I have so got off my plan.  I haven't gained any weight back, which is good, but not losing.  Now my stepkids are going home finally on Sunday and I will have time and energy and the money to get back on!!  So look for me and give me some words of encourangement!!!  Good luck to everyone!!

I taotally know about step-children and $. I have 5 and no $! It will work itself out though! If you're like me, you come last in the whole scheme. I believe it will all pay off some day! A little love goes a long way! Hang in there! I believe what you put out comes back to you 10 fold!

Welcome back! Glad you have survived all of them! :)  Right now I'm listening to a poor excuse...I can't do the dishes because my spine hurts.  I can't even hold up my own body.  argghh! hehe

I was wondering about you. Havent seen you on here lately..thats great you havent gained!! Good to see you back!!!

OH DARLIN'... I can well remember the days of every paycheck I made going to clothing and providing school supplies and fees for this and fees for that (even though my husband was paying child support regularly).   It seems it never ends!

Once it was over though, I almost didn't know what to do with those paychecks!

Take care of yourself now.. you not only deserve it.. you NEED it!

Good luck and God be with you!

Glad to have you back!

Good for you not gaining during your time away....that's an accomplishment in itself.

I observe that being the step is pretty thankless at times!  But all we can do is respond with love, work hard, and not gripe. I think you are amazing. I hope your man appreciates what he has in you.

Yes, having a little more time to work out will help. Glad you are back!

I just wanted to say thank you to all of you.  You guys are truly amazing and have such great words of encouragement.  I am thankful that I have this board and the members to help me stay on track and kick my ass when I don't.  Like that brakfast burrito I got from sonic this morning.  Damnit!!  And if any of you have ever done WW that was 18 points just in the burrito!!  It is ok though, I join the gym on Monday and have a buddy to go with now.

My husband does appreciate me.  He is an amazing man and I am lucky to have him.  Wish me luck though, we going to start preceedings for get custody of them full time!!!  YIKES!!!

I KNOW that burito could not have been 18 points worth of good!!!!!  I think their food is severely crappy myself.

I know you learned something....right?

All I can say is OUCH!!  Did ya know it was that many points before you ate it?  That right there seems to help me tremedously.  Just looking at the label beforehand, think it makes me feel guilty and realize there is no way in hell that product is worth it.  In your case of course you would have to look it up on line so it would be harder.  Wow...18 points, that could be almost your whole days worth of food!

Have fun at the gym.  I would love to get a gym buddy.  That is, when I can afford it again! :)  Also good luck on getting all the kids!  My dh legally adopted two of my children a few years ago. It was a scary process, but oh so worth it. It's all about the kids..so good luck on getting custody.
