It's almost the weekend--I need to tell y'all something (sound)

[nativetxn]

I can't believe this week is almost over already. Time just flies when you're having fun. Especially when you are having fun on WISH

I just wanted to take a minute to remind everyone how much I appreciate your participation in my support group. You keep me motivated, inspired and determined.

You make me smile everyday. You are always there for me when I reach out for help or comfort. You make WISH a <b>magical</b> place. A place I can't wait to visit everyday.

Kelsie came up with the idea of the WISH challenge and she has made it a wonderful success for us all. It is each one of you, however, who make WISH a safe haven for me. A positive experience everyday. You are all such a great influence on me. You make me feel cared for and I know you make each one of my fellow WISHers feel cared for too.

Thank you for being here. You are such a help to me

You lurkers help me too. I know you're out there. It's only a matter of time until you decide that WISH isn't all that scary after all and join my support group. We're saving a place for you.

So, who wants my phone number? All you have to do is call, you know. You truly do have a friend in me. I will be there for you, if you need me just like you have all been there for me.

You're the greatest!!!

And Kelsie- you're just brilliant for starting this!!

And Kath/Kelsie I would like to know when your birthday is!

I slimfasted for breakfast and lunch and had a chilli dog and potato chips for supper- I feel really yucky- I did sneak some strawberries- but I had all y'alls voices in my head saying- tomorrow's a clean day- and I'm headed to bed to take a LOOOONG walk in the morning before dh heads to work. So thanks for giving me the courage to stick to it! My husband is so proud of me- I've already warned him- if I run into any of you guys at Disney in September I'm going to have to stop and chat for awhile and probably hug a couple of pounds out of each one I meet!
Thanks!!!
Tara

Katholyn,
Thanks for this thread. I was just thinking about the great friends I have made here. I have come to feel part of the WISH team, and not just an occasional poster, but truly part of the family!!! I work weekends, so I started to brace myself for the upcoming weekend. I work with some people (well, really ALOT of people) that think nothing of yelling at youputting you down, and putting tremendous pressure on you to be 100% perfect. From the surgeons, to my co-workers, it is very hard on my self esteem. Some of them really enjoy tearing others down, in order to build themselves up. ~~~~ Well, I was thinking today that I have all of my WISH friends, and I envisioned putting on my coat of armor to repel their negativity (I really did this! ) and I imagined the "force" come from my WISH buddies!

there are so many people I wish to thank for their incredible support, you have all been there for me, and I have said it before, I can't thank you enough!!!

And Katholyn, my friend, Thank you to you for all the time, effort, and energy you put into each and every post. YOU are motivating, and put hope into each persons heart that read your posts.

I love this family!!!!!!

Your gonna make me cry. You are so sweet. My WISH family of friends encourage me and cheer me on daily. I am just amazed by the loving and caring people i have met here on the WISH boards. We've all been there and are trying to all get healthy togehter and we are doing it. Along the way we are making wonderful friends. What an awesome group of people here on WISH thank you all so much from the bottom of my heart for all your story's, ideas, support and cheers. Bless each of you for all your kindness.

Katholyn~ We are all so blessed to have this place. You have always been an inspiration to me....as is everyone.
Weight is a personal thing and for all of us to come together and share our struggles is wonderful. It helps to know we are not alone....that we are all working towards a common goal....trying to be healthier and happier...and look and feel better!

Thank you....and to all of my WISH friends...I am here for you....thanks for being here for me!

Katholyn- I love your posts! You are such a sweet spirited person. I wanted to just lurk today as I don't have much time, gotta go get my boy in 2 hours, but I couldn't pass up responding to your wonderfu post.
When I think of you Katholyn- I think of sunshine. Everlasting and warm, and even when it's cloudy- that sun is always there just waiting to pop out from behind the clouds. You are an outstanding inspiration to many of us here on WISH. Thankyou for all yoou do here.

And yes, I want your phone number!!!

ACK! My music died I don't think I have time to repair it either. I get to go out to dinner. I get to watch Wilgus eat <i>my</i> salad because I'm on zero carbs thanks to the Alex Challenge

karebear, I sent you a pm

Katholyn:

I feel like I have found good friends here. My problem all along has been that I have had no support. I get all the support and encouragement that I need right here on this board.

I thank God everyday for helping me to find WISH. When I come to this board I feel good even if I've had a bad day.

Thank you everyone so Much!

Lyn

<b>lmhall2000</b> My birthdate is part of my profile and glo has her birthdate in her profile too. Glo was a January baby and I was an August baby. Since Kelsie didn't include her birthdate in her profile I suppose she doesn't want us to know, you're just going to have to ask her

I love this family!!!!!!

Oh, Princess V, so do I, I truly do

What an awesome group of people here on WISH thank you all so much from the bottom of my heart for all your story's, ideas, support and cheers.

Very well said, Tammy. We think alike.

This one board you feel like you have many friends who are there when you need them the most.

Isn't <i>that</i> the truth, Cthia

We are all so blessed to have this place

Kamy, we truly, truly are blessed to have WISH. Aren't we lucky that Kelsie was so creative to make such a safe haven for us all?

I love this place and I love you all!

Me too, Linda, me too
