OK, now I have to ask...did you guys get a life and Im the only one who missed out? I feel like Im talking to myself these days and this is the best time to be posting since there is no arguing and its so peaceful around here. Im beginning to get a complex guys. But Im happy to see a few friendly faces around here :)

Well, I hope that you are all having a good weekend and enjoying the beginning of fall. Its so cold and windy here already! Its just down right yucky right now but the colors are still very pretty to look at. I will be a littler busier this week but I will still be popping in and out. Hope to see more of you guys this week.

I'm here!!!! Life's been hectic lately, so I've been popping in and out, but not posting as much as I used to. I hope that changes soon! Anyways, I do have a bit of good news. After 2 months of being stuck, gaining and losing the same two pounds, I finally broke free of my plateau and lost 2 and a half pounds this week. That brings my total to 41.5 pounds lost! I'm FINALLY past the 40 pound mark after flirting with it for two months. Whew! Now if I can just get below 200 I'll be happy. I'm very close! Only 5 more pounds and I'll be there! At this rate, I should be there around February LOL! I hope everyone is having a great weekend :)

Sorry Shawna! I've been really busy the last two weeks. Normally I only work outside the home 20 hours a week. The last two weeks I did some fill in work and worked about 38 hours a week. I know for those of you who work full time all the time it is no big deal, but I am just not used to it. My house is a mess and may never recover. I've got church and we have our first practice of the year for the Valentine Spectacular today. (We are the Serendipity Singers. We sing for a two night dinner performance in Febuary. I am so excited to start. This year we are doing a tribute to Rogers and Hamersteine.) I also need to clean and do laundry today before I go back to work tomarrow. Everyone have a good day!

Hey is anyone planning on Chattting tonight? I've been checking it out every Sunday, bu there is never anyone there.

Hugs, Brenda

Sorry Shawna! As with everyone it's been hectic here lately but I do try and lurk for a bit - plus I've also felt I never had anything interesting to say so I kept quiet.

But! I do have good news!! I measured myself this morning and I'm down three inches on my hips, 2.5 on my waist, 3 on my upper thighs...and so on and so on. I'll be very curious when I go for my annual physical with my doctor next month. The last time I weighted myself I was 238 lbs. and that was back in April - at that point I slipped into a depression, ate more and became a hobbit. So heaven only knows what my peak weight was when I started this in July. And people are finally noticing - this past week I had 5 people comment on my weight loss! WAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah.

Yep, very cool...Hello, Linda! Hello, everybody.

I am just starting to get back into a routine, after moving from the Netherlands in June, travelling across Canada for two months, and spending three weeks in Norway for an art exhibition. I convinced myself I was on a Holiday eating mode for about three months!! And I gained most of what I had lost back. But I am back and it is really neat to be able to just jump back in.

On my last night in Oslo, I sprained my ankle!! It was rainy, and wet cobblestones, but I have sprained it twice before at my heaviest weight of 245, and I know it is because I am overweight. It bothered me a lot to know that I alone caused permanent damage to my ankle. Anyway, I am doing okay now, I can walk up stairs again and am going to the gym slowly because it still hurts, even with an ankle support thing and physio exercises.

But now I am living in my favorite city, and have a great apartment downtown in Vancouver, and am looking for a job. This is a little humbling but hopefully soon will find something that likes me and I like back.

That's my update since June. I am trying to do some damage control and then head for my 199 wonderland like Linda. Hello Brenda, Hello shawna, ladyirish, Amy, Freya, etc... (I still don't know all the names!)

Kristrin, your summer sounds so interesting! It must be nice to be able to travel around like that. Did you get to see or do anything real interesting besides the traveling?
