The E-LAB Project

Val Jean don't feel bad since I've stopped going to Medical Wt loss center I've gained some weight.  I weighed the other day and I'm up to 155 lbs.  I guess thats where I'm destined to be.  Been kinda down and not eating right either, snacking some which I usually don't do.  I wish I could get my mind wrapped around weight loss again.  I've just been depressed about it.  I guess since I didn't lose all that I wanted to and spent all that money then the issues at home with my daughter getting married and I work all the time.  Combine it all and there is not time to do anything but work, eat, and sleep.  I can only occassionally get on the computer.  Thanks for all of you, ya'll are great.

Renee

I usually only exercise first thing in the morning so that does not interfer with 'puter time. I am slowing getting into the grove again. Hanging around that 149 mark, & I so do not want to be there.... As you say, Renee, I need to get my mind wrapped around it again. Help!! 

Hi ladies,

I've got nothing to offer to help us.  However, I did decide that I am going to exercise everyday after work no matter what!  And, I'm going to try to increase my water intake and decrease the sugar intake.  Maybe we should be accountable to each other about what exercise we do and our good habits during the day???  I don't know.

I've had plumbing issues galore and water retention.  I almost fainted when I got on the scale last Friday.  I'm working on the plumbing and got rid of the extra water weight yesterday so I'm back to where I was a few weeks ago.

And on a final note, I've obviously been away for a bit.  I was honored to be able to be present and assist with my new granddaughter's birth last Wednesday.  It's been a hectic time.  She's beautiful and healthy and my daughter and her husband did a great job!

CONGRATULATIONS, SUZ

I'm lost with this weight issue. I'm gaining almost daily basis.

For me I need to go to Macy's fitting room and scare myself the way I did last year.

Its not that I don't have the desire to keep this body in shape and healthy but its a daily battle and I'm really getting frustrated.

Suz, Meece I feel the same way something has to be changed otherwise I see myself at 173 where I started my Macy's diet last December

PEACE

Okay gang ~ I was thinking along the lines of Meecie, just work on trying to get fit & let the LB's 'fall where they may'.

Sheila ~ That 13" is my upper arm, they have gotten heavier, they need to be totally toned !

My wing!

more to come, just want you to know I'm here. Have been following you from one thread to another!

I have gotten more of a 'pot-belly' this past year & I'm sure it's from the Aromasin. The estrogen is going to my middle.  Argh! 

I think maybe I'm concentrating too much on food & not enough on the exercise portion. Just need to move more. What do you think?

I think maybe I will do some measuring, but I don't want to do something that I might concentrate too much on & be back in the same place as I am now.

How do we do it but not OVER do it??

Yeah, a couple of inches down from the armpit. I actually measured what I determined to be the widest part.

Maybe we are just plain being too hard on ourselves.

Maybe you are right Val.

I want to live in that island I dont remember the name now where the women have to be nice and heavy. I have to google that.

Let me know where that is & I'll join you!!

And I still don't understand how I can have one dish of ice cream or two pieces of dessert & gain two frigging #'s.    

Well Val it was nice we connected tonight.

I will find out by Friday about my blood work if things started to climb then I have to be good.

157 and remaining there is my goal. I dont have high expectations like loosing 25 pounds, even if I could I wouldnt loose it.

You have a Good Night My friend.

Sheila♥♥

Good night to you sister-friend
