7 month update

Hello to all my old buddies and also to all the newbies on here. I hardly recognize any of the names now. But that's okay because after all, this is the best place on the web for those who are at the start of their journey - lots and lots of support !

I don't get on here much now, too busy, but I did want to pop in and say hello and check on everybody. Patrece, I hope your grandson is doing well now?! Are you all recovered and doing well after your surgery>

I did a quick peek at posts and it looks like Vicki's father passed away last month? So sorry Vic. You and your family will be in my prayers.

Hi Kathy and Colleen. Hope you are both doing well.

Ledaisy, looks like you are doing great! Keep up the good work!

Gilda, your new pics are great! You look beautiul, congrats on your success!

I turned 47 on the 20th and look and feel much better than last year when I turned 46! I have been in "Onederland" for the last couple of weeks and it is great. I'm in a size 14 pants and L./XL shirt. I've lost about 82 lbs and have about 20 to go to get to my docs goal. I know I'll get there.

Well, my son and DIL just dropped by so I have to go for now. Take care all, I'll try to get back by and get to know all the newbies!!


Hugs,
Rhonda

congrats on your weight loss so far.  THis is coming from a NEWBIE. 

Thanks Frances. I wish you all the best on your journey also. Time will fly by and before you know it, there'll be alot less of you! It's a roller coaster, but it's all worth it.

Hugs,
Rhodna

So great to see you back postng. I love all of ou newbies, but also love our not so newbies and miss you all when you strayoff..lol.

Congrats on ONEderland! woo ho how awesome that feels!  And isn't it great when you discover you no longer have to shop the PLUS side of the store?! I remember my first time in the regular department. I keep feeling like people were thinking... HEY lady.. your area is over there! lol.

Happy belated buirthday! It will just keep getting better from here! I have heard many times life begins after 40. I know thats the case for me.

Ledaizy is looking so awesome isn't she! She is an inspiration, just as you are! You are going to make goal.. no doubt about it! Keep on keeping on!

Congratulations to YOU! I just noticed your ticker, WOO HOO, great job! I know you really wanted that number and you DID IT! Goal weight, I can't "wait" to get there.  I know how busy you stay, I hope you are taking time for yourself and have recovered from all you've been through. Take care!

Ahhhhh (sigh of relief)...yes finally got that last stubborn pound off! Now... to set a new goal... I'll have to think on this one..hehehe.

I try to take time for me and sometimes I actually accompli**** hehehe. I am going to visit Kathy in MN on Oct 7th thru the 14th.. so will have a whole week to just enjoy....
You'll get there too gal. I am 2 years and 2 months + out. Dedication, determination and accountability go a long way! And of course i am always learning everything I can even still.

Hugs!

Long time no see Rhonda, great to see your update and those from several others that are busy living live.  You have done amazing yourself, looking forward to a new pic for your avatar, let's see how you are doing.

Happy belated birthday, you and I are about the same age.  I turned 48 last may.  The changes in a year are wonderful.  I was able to transplant my hasta this afternoon without being completely out of breathe.  Digging the holes even easier with less of me to move about.  Spent the sunny parts of the weekend outdoors, putting the flower beds to bed for the winter.  Hard to believe that winter is around the corner.  I want a long and lingering fall.  My fav time of the year.  Drove the countryside on Sat. afternoon looking at all the briliant colors of leaves on the hillsides.

Continue to enjoy life my friend.  Hugs

Hi Kathy. I love fall too, it is my favorite time of year. Our summer lingers on with the hot humid weather but we are getting ready to have days about 70 and nights around 55. I can't wait. Right now we have been having about 4 days of rain and are expecting very heavy rain and wind tonight. But then beautiful weather for the weekend. There are a couple of big festivals going on this weekend, might just make it to one of them.

I get so frustrated every time I try to update my avatar. The latest pic of me is on my profile. It was taken late June/early July I think. It is me and DD. I'll keep trying though. I had the same problem with my original avatar but I was online a lot more at that time so I got it to work in less time.

Enjoy fall and don't work to hard - I know how you are!! Spend some time crafting and doing things you love!!!

Take care-
Rhonda

It was great to hear from you Rhonda.  All is well with me.  I wish you much success as I can see by your ticker that you are closing in on your goal.

Don't be a stranger.  I answered a bunch of posts this morning because I hadn't been on in a while and I need to be here.
