Learning and on a quest!

Hi Jodie good to hear from you. I'm doing well I just got off another round only lost about 12 lbs or so but thats ok. I'm going to do another one maybe in Sept.. So happy to hear the wedding was wonderfull. Your pictures look wonderful. This is a great group of ladies on this thread you'll like it. Good luck on this round. Patty

Oh BTW...congrats on your 35 lb. loss!! AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi J - Did you have a good Christmas? We are on a 2 week break so it's nice. I'm trying to get all the crud out of my system that I ate! Not sure why I do that when I know how crappy I'll feel. Anyway, I lingered around my LIW for a while....then we had puppies when we weren't suppposed too....got stressed and with Christmas went up 5 lbs! Back on track now, so hopefully will get it back off. I have been eating more gluten free as well. Makes me feel better. I found Qwest bars and Jay Robb protein that help alot. (well, obviously not over Christmas....I have a horrible weakness to sugar cookies!)
How are things going for you? I just check in once in a while to see what's going on. Thanks for keeping in touch with me! Have a Happy New Year.
God Bless ~ Di

Hi J! Thanks for asking about me. I haven't been on in quite a while. School is hectic and I think I'm where I'm supposed to be weight wise, so it's hard to check in very often.
How are things for you? I think the most important thing I've learned is that the balance has to be between eating right and exercise. Short cuts don't work.
Have a great Thanksgiving!

Thanks for your concern, Jodi. Josh made it through surgery ok, so that was a big relief. But he is not progressing as well as they would like post-op, so we are still in the hospital. Basically, he is not showing any signs of BM activity except some rumblings. They may end up sending us home and continuing his nutrition line until he at least passes gas and can then try solid food. We have been here a week now, and it is strange to be rooting for your kid to fart! Hope all is going well for you!

Jodi,
I am doing good this round because I am putting my mind to it.
If your mind isn't in it or a person just wants to play around they won't lose as much weight as they would like,
I am down 14 pounds this round and it's day 9.
I haven't stabilized well, I have a lot of food sensitivities, so easy to gain.
I think six week breaks are important though, maybe not all the time, but frequently.

Jodi, I can explain a lot to you about my journey, we just got back from the YMCA and it's late, as soon as I get time I will write you.

Jodi,
I am on round 4. Losing very well, doing zucchini this time, Love it!

Down 75 pound of today, need to get to 200 pounds!
I just need to show myself I can do this!
I bet you can't wait to get back, just don't take anything for granted like I did and you'll do wonderful!

Thanks, Jodi. It is scheduled for the 21/22, so I have a couple of weeks still to try to get him strong enough for it! Hope all is well with you!

hey Jodi,
How's it going?

Ellie
