Finally!!!  Thank goodness.  I really appreciate it Donna!  I am really committed to doing this and I want a partner. 

Can you check into S&A daily with me?

Are you going to measure yourself?  Let's measure the same parts of our bodies ok?

Are you going to take photos in something snug?  So we can feel the difference in how they fit?

We will look at our photos and measurements weekly...  ok?  This will motivate us...

We will weigh on Monday April 18th and then not again until Wednesday May 18th... ok?

Big appreciative hugs, oh and I will actually be going to Brookfield, Milwaukee and then to North Bay , Ontario...  I would LOVE to meet you someday!  Perhaps at a gathering of VSG Maintainers in Tonga??  :)

I have been addicted to the scale and daily weigh ins for 20 years.  I have thougth about breaking away from the habit but did not know if I could do it.  It would be so refreshing not to jump on the scale first thing in the morning and feel that up or down feeling.  I would love to join you.  Let me know what I need to do.  I will be off the site for a 3 day weekend so I will keep checking back today to see what the plan is for 30 days.

Ok Dee,

Cool, I am so glad to hear there will be a number of us doing this.  It will be so good for us, and I think many of us will break some barriers by doing it.

No rules whatsoever, just weight on Monday morning, and don't weight again until May 18th.

Check in daily, encourage others, ask for support, whatever you need.

If you like, some of us are going to measure ourselves and maybe take pics once a week.  Just as another form of keeping track of our progress.  So you will need to get that ready by Monday, if you want as well.

Looking forward to this challenge.  Let us know if you can think of anything else you want to incorporate in this next 30 Days.  I am going to make it a part of S&A, which you already utilize, so we will see you there!!

Hugs,

Cindy

Yeah right NEVAH...but I have chosen to give up the scale and only weigh once a week on Wednesday and since May 18th is Wed than that'll work.  I will measure myself and ok I will take a picture of me in the size 12 pants that I COULD fit about 20lbs ago.  When are we picture taking and measuring?

Ms Shell

Hi Ms Shell,

Great, well sort of!!  You could do it, you are choosin' not to right?!  lol  Whatever works for you honey....

Can't wait to see you in those skin tight size 12's!!

I think I will do my measurements and take my pics on Sunday, so I can report my weight, measurements and pics on Monday morning...  How does that sound?

I look forward to encouraging each other on a regular basis again my sweet friend...  we need to get you back into Onderland!

Hugs,

Cindy

I don't KNOW if I COULD do it or not, lol, right NOW I'm CHOOSING not to.  I've given up the frustration of my DAILY and made it weekly.

You will see me in those TIGHT 12's on Monday with pics and measurements...OMG yes we need to see me in ONEDERLAND...and I will be back just gotta change my MINDSET

Ms Shell

Ok - not sure I can leave my buddy the scale - I might just go nuts.  But I will check in here and report on my "on-trackness"...I've renewed my committment to this this week and I'm trying to get rid of the 10lbs of rebound I had from my lowest weight...

Cool that you're coming to North Bay (my hometown!!).  You should drive through Cambridge on your way and stop in to visit our little group here!!

Canada Rocks!!

Hello My Sweet Friend,

I have missed you.  You are one of my favourite people here Erica and it i so good to see you.

It is ok that we gained.  We are human.  I never inteneded to gain.  I knew I wouldn't.  AND deep down I knew I would.  How could I, I knew better, I had everything lined up to not gain.  BUT, I did.  Why?  Well because I love food, I am still the same person.  Life got in the way.  I did what I always did, even though I did not want to.  

I think I can forgive myself.  I know I can thank my Sleeve for not allowing me to gain it all back.  I think I can get it back off again.  I think I can learn from it.  I think I can learn to maintian once I get it off... but time will tell.  No more promises.  I WANT to get back to my lowest, and I probably will.  Will I stay there, we will see.  I WANT to.  I PLAN to... but time will tell.

Let's forgive ourselves, pick ourselves up, get motivated, and get this off.  Then hopefully this time we can keep it off.

I am really really glad to see you, I beleive we can do this.  We did it before.  We looked and felt fabulous, let's rock these Sleeves again ok my friend?  It is sooooooo good to see you, and I look forward to working on this together...

Wow, you are from North Bay!  I lived there for 8 years.  Worked at the CIBC, went to Ni******g University.  The works.  Owned my first tiny house on crappy ole Sherbrooke Street.   Another lifetime...

It is a short trip, trying to see most of my famiy before moving to Tonga, so I probably won't get to see you.  But it is neat to know you used to live there.

Big hugs, sorry for all the mushie, deep crap above.  I care about you, and I want you to feel fantastic again, even though, if you are like me, you still feel pretty darn good right now.

Cindy

I do usually feel pretty great.  Sometimes get down on myself.  I know my body image is kinda messed up.  Considering professional help more than ever these days for that. 

I also went to Ni******g - from 1992-1997!  When were you there?  I worked at Suzy Sheir and at The Wall at Ni******g.  Owned my first house on Whitney St!!  Small world...
