MAMA!!!!!
I didn't know you had a thread here! Can I join in? It's been a LONG time since I've been on the WISH boards, but want to come back. Can I mama, can I????
If it's ok, can someone please update me if you have challenges etc? I am so ready to get into a healthier frame of mind/body. Ya know, back in the day (oh... about 4 years ago) I challenged WISHers to do the WDW Half Marathon with me- and look what that's turned into!
Hmmm, I dont knowwww....
OF COURSE!
We weigh in on fridays. If you weigh on a different day (say for ww or something) then just check in on fridays.
Do whatever diet you want. We can help you choose something. Lots are on WW or calorie counting, or low carbing.
You're just in time for our Cinco de Mayo challenge. By the 5th of May how much would be a nice little goal? I'm shooting for 5 pounds again. I can adjust it if it it all comes off in one week
We are in a competition with DizneyDawn's wish thread. Thats a friendly competition with the 5 highest losers from each team (we are team peep) with the % of weight lost, not the pounds. The losing team is sending state magnets to the winners (so far it's us)
Now, if you want to do that, you need to PM DizneyDawn with your starting weight and address to receive your magnets if we win. WE don't post our weight but some do. On fridays we just post here how much we lost, nice and bold since I record on a spread sheet. It looks like this:
-5 or if you didn't lose you can say:
samer or if you gained you do
+ whatever number.
I try to have everyone post their progress on fridays but sometimes there's late people,,,which is fine.
We cheer any little progress. We freak out over BIG progress. And generally support one another.
There is no OFF TOPIC since everything in our lives tend to effect food and eating and our health, ya know?
Now and again, we lose people. Some return, some dont.
It's a BIG thread, so post often. SOMETIMES your post may get lost in the shuffle. Don't take it personally!!!!! It happens occasionally. With so many of us, it just is hard sometimes. But post often and you'll totally be heard. I KNOW you won't have that problem
Often times we post to vent or talk ourselves out of overeating or snacking when we're just bored. You use this thread any way you need to.
JUST ASK if you need anything! Collectively, we are a wealth of information.
YOW! Sorry so many spelling errors. The Ni-Quil smoothie is kicking in!
I am about 50 pages behind since last I was here....so if somebody can give me the short version of what I have missed I would appreciate it! Happy Birthday to all those I am sure I missed, and

But I don't think there's anything wrong with taking a mental health day if you need it. And my mom can still make me feel that way too, and I'm 34. There is just something about moms that way. Take that solo Disney trip! You deserve it! 
It turns out her caregiver had run to the drugstore for Motrin because she had a toothache. I told her(the caregiver) to call me if this happens again. I bet she wet her pants when she pulled up to the house and their were 2 police cars out the front. I was just so relieved that the call wasn't a)about one of my kids, or b)something more serious about my mom.
Could there be a corolation between all I've eaten/drank over the years and suddenly having an allergic reaction??? Could be. I cut out ALL aspartame and only use splenda in my coffee....1 tsp per day. Also only drink 4C flavoring in my water as it is made with splenda. No Crystal Ligt for me!
Definitely need exercise! 
I sure miss those days with mine...enjoy them!
