Hello Mystique!

I have returned to the boards finally...It has been an incredibly hectic couple months...let's see...2 deaths in the family, 2 weeks of vacation and 3 business trips and a birthday. Needless to say I have been on the go now for what seems like forever.

This was quite the summer and I am glad in a way to see it wind down.

As of today I am at 93 lbs lost. I didn't meet my goal of getting into a size 18/20 totally by my birthday (my top co-operated my butt is being stubborn). If my butt would go away as fast as my chest I would be thrilled. I have some birthday pictures that I will post this weekend for the "dramatic" before and after shots. Not really dramatic, I still see the old me. I have according to my daughter made it back to a single chin when I smile and found cheekbones and a dimple on my cheek we all forgot was there.

Hopefully (fingers crossed) things will settle down now and life will become a bit more predictable.

I am going to spend some time this weekend catching up on the challenge and reading the posts I have missed and reaquaint myself with everyone.

Congratulations to everyone that has lost, thanks for the note checking on my where abouts Mystique...it was quite sweet...and happy weekend!

Mystique!
Here is my weight for today.

224
I am loosing! Yippee! Becky Sue

[flannery]

hello... boy have I missed all of you. My computer died. We had to buy a new one. It is a scary world without all of your support.

I managed to still loose some weight. I went from 172 to 168 and its that TOM... so all is not lost.

Hi Mystique.......

How did the playdate go?

Good idea for cleaning out the list....it's very long and some people have never ever posted at all.....

I had a hectic day yesterday! I was at work until 3 pm. Then went to my grandfathers for a family afternoon coffee thingy. (Last week he had knee replacement surgery). On our way to his house, my mom told me, that his knee was looking swollen and he was in pain. When I came, I told him to take his pants of, and let me have a look: INFECTION! Most likely streptococcus again (he had the same trouble with the other knee). So, back to hospital and we didn't leave the hospital until 11 pm. Vithout my grandfather. And I'm up now, 7am sunday morning, ready to go to work....YAWN! Let's hope today works out a little better....it's my moms birthday!!!

[Elleth Faewen]

No change in weight, but I did lose inches! :yes I am hoping for the whooshie fairy next week.

Hi El,
You are such a good person to look out after your family! *big hugs*
As for the playdate, it went great. I really liked the mommy too, so we had coffee and let the kids run wild.
Went on a little cruise night before last. It was an event for work. It was on an old ship that first chased after booze smugglers during the prohibition, then was outfitted w/ guns during WWII to look for subs. The really neat thing was that it was run by a group called the sea scouts. They are teenagers who are interested in learning about the sea and sorta like a boy/girl scout thing w/ a focus on boats/ships. They let both kids steer the ship for some time, and the children were on cloud nine!
Next morning I woke up w/ incredible pain in my stomach. First I thought. hmmmm... maybe I didn't eat enough. Then, I realized (when it didn't go away after eating ) that I caught something awful! Today I am slightly better, but I am not movin much. ACK! Tis the season for the flu and I am always so suprised when I catch something LOL.
Anyway, gonna focus on just keeping the weight steady where it is at until this bug passes. After I post here, going back to bed. *hugs all*

[Elmark]

Oh...so sorry to hear that you have caught the flu....
I hate it when it happens....it always surprize me too....

My granddads leg looks a little better today, maybe the antibiotics is helping this time....I hope he gets better soon and gets to go home....he's 84 after all.....not fun to spend a lot of time in the hospital!

I'm glad you had a great time with the "other mom" at the playdate.....it's great to have someone that you connect with!!!

I hope you feel better soon.... :hug

[towanda]

YAY - I am down 4 pounds for the week, down to 184. Only 29 to go!
