to Misty, Melinda and everyone else who is having tough times. Aaron you continue to be my motivation because you are strong and I hear you saying "nothing tastes as good as skinny feels" every time I'm tempted. To everyone else, HI. I'll be more chatty again once I survive year end here.
Well, I'm new here, but I do know that the old thread went away because all threads with over 10,000 posts were hidden, since they were slowing down the boards. They may come back as read-only threads, but they probably won't allow any new posts on those threads. At least that's what I've gotten out of the whole thing.Hey Peeps,
I seem to be taking a lot of hiatuses (what is the plural of hiatus?) lately. My cousin is still at our house which means that my computer has limited operating hours combined with working everyday at my internship makes me a very busy and tired girl lately. Anyway, I hope all of you have been doing well and losing a lot!
Unfortunately, I got some bad news yesterday. My dad, who I mention had cancer, passed away yesterday. I also mentioned our interesting relationship i.e. the fact that he was not around a lot and we were not like most father/daughter relationships. But things had gotten better and we at least made the effort to call or have lunch when he was in town. The services are still TBA at the moment and I will probably be the last to know since to them I am apparently the low man on the totem pole. I stayed home from work today just because I need to be alone, and think, and be sad. Anyway, I wanted to let you all know because Peep prayers are so wonderful, and I would love to have some sent my way because I will need it to get through the next few days or so. Thanks everyone!
Oh and why are we in a new thread? Did I miss something really juicy and exciting? Fill me in.
Weight wise, I'm about the same as I was right after the holidays. I think I lost a pound. I've been putting off the Couch-5k program for about 3 weeks now. That would help tremendously I think. And weekends are killing me. Any good stuff I do during the week is being erased by the weekends, or nighttime snacking.
Anyway, I'm going to go read and probably take a nap. Didn't sleep much last night. Thanks in advance for the good thoughts, peeps!
Thank you for the compiment! If my struggles can help motivate others to do better for themselves, then I'm a happy camper. And I know all about the long hours, so you just need to take care of yourself. We'll all be here when you get time to take a breath!
I am so sorry to hear that. As I mentioned to Pakey, be sure to take care of yourself during this difficult time. That is the most important thing right now.Unfortunately, I got some bad news yesterday. My dad, who I mention had cancer, passed away yesterday.

Add an ounce of almonds, (160 calories,) to what I've eaten so far today, and a banana, (100.) That's 760 so far total, I am still "allowing" myself just over 1,000 more, though if I stick to my fruit and Lean Cuisine plan at work I should not go over that many, and I should actually be hungry.
Hey, there, friends!
I told you that yesterday morning I was down 5 pounds overnight, right? Well this morning, I was down another 2.5 pounds!! Man, I must have retained a lot of water while I was PMSing last week! (Remember when I gained the two pounds for Friday's weigh in?). But whatever, I'll take it!
Punkin, that bubble butt pic was hilarious, I hope you don't mind but I posted it on the Mad Chatter thread yesterday (but I did give you credit for it!).
MO! Great job on the running, lady! I would be soooo proud of myself! I am still not exercising at all. I can't join the gym till after I go to WDW next week. And with my heel spurs I can't just do any old exercise, KWIM? At least next week I will get a lot of walking in. Just hoping I don't have to resort to wheelchair use, like I did in December.
Sorry about your dad!!!!Hey Peeps,

JK!!!OMG you guys!!! I just ran an entire mile without stopping. That is HUGE for me. I was playing with the speed on the treadmill and I wanted to start with just fast walking and found that I was slow running and held that pace and before I knew it, I ran a mile! This is so encouraging.
Just wanted to share my triumph.
I'm sure you will fit right in!
Heather and Misty. I am praying for your health.

Shannon, I am so sorry! Regardless of how the relationship was, he was still your dad.
My prayers are with you for sure. For you too. I hope everything is ok.
to everyone who needs one. 
We're here for you sister!
