Re: Kentucky Derby

Hi all,

Catrina...sorry to hear about your mom, I will check in with you in your journal.

I hope I keep my weight off after my piece of cake yesterday. We'll see. I won't weight myself until Moday....or maybe tomorrow?

Sherri, tasha, marty, stacy, and Jenn...hey girls, hope you are all well. Talk to ya later.

Re: Kentucky Derby

Hey Ladies.. Made through my first Halloween Party, 2 to go !!!! I did fine. Didn't really want the candy, but when it was over they fed my boys pizza. I LOVE PIZZA !!! Wrong, didn't eat that either... Came home and ate some homemade Chicken salad and pork rinds.... Then I watched our Rockies lose again . Oh well!!!

Caternia: I am so sorry about your mom. I know this is rough on you. Keep the faith and you'll get through it all. I hate that you can't exercise like you like. I have to modivate myself to get "started". Maybe once I get into it I will enjoy it. Yes, you can tell the difference. I will try to post a during pic the beginning of the week some time.


scaleskl: I know you told us at one time... but I can't remember you actual name. Would you mind sharing?? Glad you are sticking well. Hot wings sounds pretty good !!!!

Sherri: Just asy "NO"!!!!! We both can get through this holiday. Sounds like you're doing a great job.. Keep it up.

Time for me to go to bed. Those kid wore me out!!!! Look forward to talking to ALL of you tomorrow.

Re: Kentucky Derby

Hey Marty...It's Kassoria.

I'm glad you are surviving the Hallloween parties. I went to a party tonight and my niece continued to bring me candies to open for her. But I wasn't the least bit tempted.

Hey ladies...Sheri, Tasha, Catrina, Jenn, marty, stacy.....Have you joined the Christmas challenge. I am pledging to loose 20 lbs by XMAS.

Re: Kentucky Derby

Hey Ladies,

I weighed myself this morning and I am down another pound. I am finally under the 190 mark. I can't wait to reach my goal. I am so excited. 180 here I come!!

[Martylaine]

Re: Kentucky Derby

Kassoria (I knew that.... It's hard getting old!!!) On your weight loss !!!!!! Yes, I joined the Challenge eariler and pledged 24 pounds (to get me to 160) I have a total of 10lbs so far and 14 to go!!! Both of these threads have been good for me. When I see others losing, I say
" I CAN DO THIS TOO" and it keeps me on the right road...

Hope everyone has a wonderful day... mine is going to be spent cleaning and visiting with my grandkids... See you guys tonight.

Caternia: Hope all is well with you and your mom. We'll keep her in our thoughts as well as you.

Re: Kentucky Derby

Hi Ladies! I'm checking to see what's up. Kassoria- Great news about getting under 190 hon, YEAH, I'm chearing for you! Yes, I too, joined the christmas challenge. My goal is to reach 229 I think. That's twenty pounds away. I'd be happy to reach 239 at this point, Hehe. I've been on a slippery slope with peanut butter lately. My passion with it stops today! I've really got to get with it if I'm going to meet goal by Christmas. MARTY- So proud of you sticking to your guns! That-a-girls and pats on the back Marty! I do really well staying away from sugar, I plain don't eat it or anything that contains it. Being a type-2 diabetic, and at one time on two seperate medications for it. I'm able to manage my diabetes by diet alone now, and with no medications. It makes me stay on the staight and narrow. I have ways of eating healthier and still be able to get satisfaction when temptation is around. As long as it's healthy, I'm gonna have mine. Hehe. CAT- Hope all is well with your mom, Prayers are sent to Karen and all of you. Hang in there hon, TTYL. Well, I'm with Marty, it's laundry day for me and getting prepared for the week ahead. My DD is an alien for halloween this year. A glow in the dark head mask along with feet and hands. Pretty cool. My DH and I wear creepy mask when we go out with her and here at home to meet the little goblins.Sometimes I hide outside the door and watch them walk up to scare them, am I bad? Hehe. Well, so far so good for me today. Talk to you all tonite, Wishing everyone else here a wonderful day!

Re: Kentucky Derby . . . . . . Keeping on Track

Hey everyone! Sorry that I've been a stranger. This ordeal has been stressing me out big time (not cheating though. ).

Tracey, where are you at? Are you doing ok?

I'm taking my daughter to the Trunk'O'Treat at our church Wednesday. They have like a mini fair and then the kids go from trunk to trunk of members cars to get candy. She will be going as a Princess (of course). My child is so high maintenance (just the opposite of me) and she's only 6.

Tasha, did you start back today? Let us know how you're doing?

Jenn, how are you doing?

Sherri, I checked out Wendy's journal. I guess I need to stop eating broccoli (bummer because I like it). The goiter is going!! Whoohoo!! I guess they'll keep me at this low dose for now (no side affects). It's 25 mcg. My body is probably just grateful to have meds!!

Hey Marty! Are you still hanging in there with the candy? Are you finding that it just doesn't look as appetizing or not worth it to gain the weight back? My baby and my brother have been eating candy all around me but I just look at it and figure it's not worth it to gain this weight back for my health (back) and for my self-esteem.

Hey Kassoria, congrats on your continued weight loss. I got your message in my journal. Thanks for your support (thank you all for your support). They found something on my Mom's blood work - something to do with the heart and now they're checking that out before they'll do the surgery on the leg. Once they do the surgery, she'll be in the hospital undergoing physical therapy for a week to two weeks. I've talked her into coming here to stay with me after the surgery and physical therapy. She was causing me so much stress that I was having chest pains and had to be checked out by one of the docs here at my job. Hot mess!!

Well, I'm at work!! Must get back to working on claims. I'm down 14 lbs. and over 16 inches (2 inches off the hips and 4 inches off the waist).

You guys mean so much to me. Thanks so much for your kindness and your friendship.

Re: Kentucky Derby . . . . . . Keeping on Track

Hi Everyone!!! It's another Monday... I made it through the weekend without even one cheat. My DS took my place last night sorting the candy into bags while I made haunted CD's. 2 nights down.... 3 to go.


Caternia: So the Dr. says your okay??? Just the stress of late?? Let us know how your mom's test results do. Way to go on your cheatfree weekend. That is Awesome!!! and your weight and inches loss is fantastic.

Sherri: You are not bad. I do the same thing. I love Halloween!!! I tell people it's the only time of year I can be myself.... Evil!! Tonight is the Boy Scout party. I get to dress better (scarier) and better music than tomorrows Cub Scout party. They are just the little guys. can't scare them. Diabetes is another reason I knew I needed to lose weight. Both my parents are insulin dependent which gives me a 75% chance of diabetes myself. Would rather hold it off or be like you and control with diet.

Wish we'd hear from the rest of our "horses"... like to know how they are doing.

Like Caternia, I best get back to work. Have a wonderful time tonight and I'll check in on everybody after the party... I found a reciepe for "cheese crackers" I' going to try and take with me tonight. That will help.

Re: Kentucky Derby . . . . . . Keeping on Track

Hey, did everyone notice they were nice enough to change the name of our group (again). Awesome!!

Marty, did you lose 3 more pounds? I think you had lost 8 lbs. when you last reported.

Re: Kentucky Derby . . . . . . Keeping on Track

Hey Girls,

I hope all is well with you. I am great. I think I ate too many vegetales yesterday. I made eggplant french fries, coleslaw, and cabbage. i toned it down some today.

Keep hope alive, girsl!!!

[Martylaine]

Re: Kentucky Derby . . . . . . Keeping on Track

Wilma I'm home.......


Yes ma'am... I lost 3 pounds last week. for a total of 11 pounds gone. 2 more pounds and I'll be at my s/w from 1999. Boy I wish I had stuck to it. I looked good at 138. No since crying over Soy Milk. Had one Party last night and not a problem. I thought about a cookie, not because it was a cookie but I was soooo hungry. I have to eat tonight before the party..... last one...
I have started drinking more water... ughhhh.. the like part has not kicked in yet. Me and water have never been good friends. So my Liter so far is super for me.

i do like the new name change.... cause that is what we are doing. Just keeping on track.

Back to work before they beat me.... Talk to ya'll later.

[Martylaine]

Re: Kentucky Derby . . . . . . Keeping on Track

Kassoria: Meant to ask... how were those eggplant fries???

[Sherri]

Re: Kentucky Derby . . . . . . Keeping on Track

Hi girls, i'm finally checking in. My hips are really giving me a what for the last couple days. I can't sit or stay in one position very long. I get to stiff and it's so painful. Other than that i'm doing well. I'm still staying the same on my weight at 249.5. I havn't had any peanut butter for the last two days. I'm happy about that. MARTY, Congradulations on the pounds lost. All your hard work is paying off. KASSORIA, i'm with Martie, how did you do the eggplant fries. Those sound good! CAT, hope all is as well as can be hon. You hang in there. I'm glad your not allowing your stress to effect your eating. That's so great. Yes, your home is the best place for your mom. Glad that she's hopefully seeing it your way. Maybe things won't be so stressful when you get her home to heal. That's great that your home is set up for her too. God has a way of preparing us for things to come. Especially when we don't see it coming. Hope all is well with everyone that comes here. I've really enjoyed coming here with ya'll. I feel a sisterhood of sorts here. Great support and great friends. Take care! TTYL

Re: Kentucky Derby . . . . . . Keeping on Track

Oh, meant to ask all of you; Did you sign up for the DANDR book reading challenge? I did. It would be great to do this challenge together. What do ya say?

[purplecat]

Re: Kentucky Derby . . . . . . Keeping on Track

Congrats Marty on the additional weightloss!!

Kassoria, how is it going today!

Hey Sherri!! I know what you mean about the hips. The bursitis has been really bad here lately. Just walking around normally is a pain. I'm praying that weight loss will ease this pain. Carrying this extra weight has to be putting major stress on my back and hips. Off topic but do you have a low carb pumpkin pie (sans the crust) recipe?

Ok, I'm so tired...I'm going to have to get off of here for now. I ran around town for 2 hours looking for a costume for my daughter. She at first wanted to be a princess but when the school said they could come dressed up (I so disagree with this) then it was a different story because there's no way she can get to the bathroom by herself with all of that crinoline (sp?). We ended up with a cheerleading outfit (as cold as it will be). I've found pants to put under it that match and now I'm off to find a shirt. I will not let my child freeze for the sake of fashion. The temp difference here throughout the day is horrible (35 in the morning 65 in the afternoon). You can't dress to be comfortable with drastically alternating temps like this. Tomorrow's high is 69 but it's supposed to be 42 in the morning. Yep, my heat is on!!

I hope everyone had a great day and I hope our MIA buds will return soon.
