You know what that means, Lynne...time to go SHOPPING! Way to go! :-)

Hey all where r you girls ???   I didn't lose this week but that's ok cuz I didn't gain. My grand total to date is 34lbs.

Yes Jen I agree it's time to go shopping. My birthday is coming this saturday July 4th, I'll be 45. I'm hoping to get a few new cloths from family. Their pretty sick of seeing me in shirts 2x to big so I told them to buy me new ones. lol

 Sorry to say, I am giving up on the Alli site.  I lived and died by the online nutrition log and they have progressively made it such a pain to use that I no longer log anything and have gained 5 lbs.  Ugh.  So I'm going to have to find a new way to log my nutrition and calories and that takes me away from this site more and more.

I'm so glad you guys are doing well, I'll try to check in occasionally.  Everyone have a great summer!

Toni

 I'm sorry, Toni. That really stinks. I've never used the nutrition log, so I'd have no idea how to deal w/all that.  Maybe they'll change it back. Please keep checking in w/us. I like to hear how everyone is doing.

 That sucks Toni. But as Jen said please stay in touch with us to let us know how you are doing.

Had lots to eat this weekend for my b-day so I am avoiding the scale this week.

Lynne

Are any of you out there still? I can't believe it's been 3 months since we've been to this thread. I'd love to hear from y'all. Toni, how's the job situation? Lynne, how's the back? Come on, ladies, let me know you're out there. :-)

Well, I'd love to tell you guys I've hit my goal weight, but, unfortunately, that would be a big lie. I've gone the other direction...just about back to where I started. I've "restarted" a bazillion times...seriously, like every Sunday, Monday, and Wednesday. Up until now it was just weight, but now I'm at the point where it's really starting to affect me.  I feel like a slug. I'm tired all the time, and I don't feel like doing ANYTHING--cooking, cleaning, playing, fixing myself up. I'm so tired. Mentally, my focus is way off. Every time I look in the mirror I feel this sinking feeling.  So here I am again.  I've got to get back on track. My family deserves better! My husband deserves a wife who has energy. My kids deserve a mom who feels like playing. I don't want to reach old age and look back on these year and see myself as the wife/mom who always sat on the sidelines and watched everyone have fun.

I'm not going to weigh myself right away. I know it's bad, because I weighed about a month ago, and I've done nothing good for myself since then.  I don't need a number to discourage me even further right now.  But I've gotten my alli information back out, and I'm going to work on fixing my eating and getting active again. Wish me luck. Hope you guys will join me again.
