Just wanted to stop in and say hi. I have not forgotton all of my buddies out there. This was one of those off-on weeks. You know what I mean? Good one day and bad the next. Can’t quite figure it all out. I know that this will be a long race for me. I know that I have to be forgiving, but not forgetting either. Fine line huh? I have my healthy lunch packed for work tomorrow’s lunch, so a good day is planned. I hope we all have a record breaking week with God’s help.

Love ya, Joyce

Hi Everyone!

I have to tell you the embarrassing tale of me letting my laundry build and having to dig deep in my closet to find a pair of slacks. Oh my gosh! I pulled out a pair that I thought I had given away. THEY FIT!!!!!!!!! Not tight at all! I am going to make it this time huh? I ran and showed my family. I was so excited! I just wanted to say hi and hope that everyone had a wonderful, muscle building, fat burning, Praising God for all of it, day.

Love ya,

Slimmemaw

Hi everybody!

This afternoon when I got on the scale I weighed 2 pounds less!!! Yea! There really is no bad with this ….. I just wanted to get your attention. I am so excited. I really mean it. I am going to keep loosing this time, I can feel it! You know that I check my BuddySlim Account at least 2 times a day? At first I thought this would just take up time that I wanted to use for something else. But you know what? It really does help me to know that there really are other people out there with the subject of weight on their mind all day long. Really….. think about it. How does that office chair feel? Are you going to take THOSE steps? (Not while I am carrying another whole person on my body!) Boy those cheese fries look good, but I can’t. A long hot bath sounds good but getting out of the tub sucks! Tired. No energy. Does this hide my fat good enough?

And the list goes on as you know. I am just sick of thinking about my weight! I want to be there!!!! Be where I just maintain and look in the mirror and not get depressed. We are going to make it. I know we are. And then I am going to stay on here and cheer others on. Because I am so big, and with God’s help will have lost all that extra weight, maybe, just maybe I can help another crying person. (and i mean crying for real)

Until next time….. Love you all and lets all have a wonderful week. God has good in store for all of us who love Him.

Happy Father’s Day to all the wonderful Daddy’s out there too!

Feels good….real good. After my slip up, I made it back down under 270. I hate the 70’s and 80’s on my scale. I am on this diet that does not give AT ALL! It is all healthy, but the same food. I have to stick to it at least do it another 2 weeks because I just worked my way through the grocery store and stuck to my guns. Bought enough of diet food to last untill next payday. Oh well, we will see if I keep loosing on it. I sure do hope so. If I keep loosing, I will keep going on it for as long as possible. Like I said …it is healthy (just boring). You know…..ice cream commercials should be illegal! Why do they do that to us? Walk away….Walk away. I really am hoping that by next summer I will be able to wear a regular bathing suit. Imagine that! I have so much to lose it will probably take me that long. At this point in my life I am happy just seeing it come off one little pound at a time! I appreciate all of my buddies and booster notes. Everybody have a wonderfully slim person weekend!

Ok ….I did soooo good over the weekend and THEN I guess I thought that I should reward myself with Imo’s Pizza. What a mistake! I paid all the next day. I guess my body really likes the healthy food that it has been getting and I let it down. Anyway… I did learn a valuable lesson….even after my goof up is all over, it has been a struggle to keep on track! Oh I have been doing it, but last week it was so much easier. Now I am back up to 270. I am ok and know that I can’t use that as a excuse like I used to do. You know ….”Well I messed up, so I will just begin again on Monday” NO NO NO…..I would eat till it was coming out my ears and I would eat what I really loved ….chips and dip! Not this time. I really want to do this and I know that God is helping me. I am very thankful for all of my buddies and it is nice to know that I am in very good company on this life journey. Till next time…….

This is one of those days that I could barely pull myself out of bed. But I did. Diet went good today. Hope you all did good today. Forward on!

Did not move alot but stuck to my diet…..I lost a total of 4 lbs over the last week. Not too shabby if I do say so myself. It feels good to see the scale moving in the right direction for a change. Pretty tired tonite….more tomorrow. Hang in there everybody and that definatley includes me!

I think that I had a successful weekend. It started off Friday night with my daughter-in-laws birthday party in the evening. I was able to hold it!!!! 2 chips with cheese and a bite size piece of birthday cake! Lots of family support! I finally figured out that birthdays will still happen…holidays will still be joyful…..and girls night out will still be just as fun even if I DO NOT EAT JUNK!!! I do have to admit that Friday morning I weighed in at 268.4!! I did not want to lose that. I did have my free day on Saturday with my 2 sisters at girls night. But, with the help of God I was able to turn down all kinds of party goodies like Doritos, Honey buns, Applebees appitizer tray, chocolate drizzled brownie topped with EVERYTHING!!! I still had a very nice dinner from the menu that had Weight Watchers heading. Then today at my grandaughters birthday party I took a taste plate. Not a Thanksgiving Day Turkey Platter plate! So I am very thankful to God for all of His help and to my wonderful family for all of their support. I hope all of my buddys had a very very sucessfull weekend. Till next time….. Size 16 sounds soooooooo good to me! When I get there I will celebrate for sure.

Guess what.. today I found out that there is “300″ belly fat calories in 7 little Werthers Originals! How deceiving! Oh and then I got my beginning picture taken. A wonderful day! It is hard to believe that is what everybody else has to look at when they see me. Maybe if we had to look at ourself ALL DAY LONG the way we look in front of a camera it would be more real. Somehow I have learned to tuck away my fat in a crevice of my brain and disguise it with either being a peace keeper, a clown, a nurse, or someone who is afraid of anyone being mad at. Not a real view on who I really am. I do know the important things….My God…and My Family. That is real in my life.

Today, was another successful day for me on my diet. I only dropped 8 oz. when I weighed in this morning but at least it was not a gain on my body. I have not been able to exercise at all. I am going to the dr. in the morning to try to get rid of some pretty severe leg pain. Well that is it for today. I hope we all stay focused and thankful for what we have. Until next time…..

I got on the scale and was 1 little pound lighter this morning. Little by little with God’s help.
