<cslinda> We're working on the problems but we're all here!!! That's

what counts!

<BBHippo> Do tell ... What's wrong with us?????

<debrarae> system error

<S> THEY JUST SETTLE IN MANY AREAS OF THEIR LIFE. THEY JUST

SETTLE WITH A JOB. THEY JUST SETTLE WITH A CERTAIN RELATIONSHIP. AND

AT THE END OF THEIR TRIP, THEY SORT OF SEEM, WELL, TOO SETTLED AND A

LITTLE BIT BORED.

<pamyj1> I'm not lost

<S> IF YOU ARE NOT LOSING WEIGHT, OR LOSING AND GAINING THE

SAME AMOUNT OVER AND OVER AGAIN, YOU ARE NOT QUITE THE BELIEVER YOU

SHOULD BE!

<karenb_54> good job iris

<denisedoc> I do believe,

<floann2> im still the same weight

<winifred> people are noticing weight loss and i am perking up

<debrarae> I'm listening

many other times before.

<Dcajun> i have to leave bye i love you richard

<S> HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE LOST WEIGHT BUT HAVE NOT YET REACHED

YOUR GOAL WEIGHT?

<Anne_Marie> I know I'm not

<2outof3> yo-yo is my middle name

<debrarae> Me

<sweatinqt> Me

<denisedoc> me

<nvrgivup> me

<goodsis1> Me

<jujubear1> me

<parrotslave> me

<winifred> me

<priney> me

<roselace> me

<vickyw> *raises hand*

<mizcolleen> me

<scrappy> me

<Anne_Marie> me

<ainSeattle> I have but I am still losing

<Bertie131> Ime

<jubalgranma> Me

<teenystar> that would be me

<2outof3> me

<seriouseyz> me

<marcia420> me

<pattianne> me

<npeileen> me

<ween88> I'm halfway thre

<texascraftrgal> me

<thedietscribe> me, not reached it yet THIS time around

<JoeGanci> ME

<sandyatksn> i've lost 100 pounds over the past 5 years...but it was

the same 10-15 pounds

<irisagogo> Definitely me.

<karenb_54> count me in...losing and regaining seems to be my life

story

<SweetSuz> Not much weight loss, but toning well

<leftylily> its funny how I dont think I really can lose

<countrybunny> me

<maple_bear> that's so true ...that's why I'm trying hard to

change my ways

<waistingaway> me

<buffetqueen> wow, Iris, that's great, how did it feel?

<pamyj1> if you beleive---believe---hhhmmm sounds like a song coming

on

<jujubear1> need to lose 80

<S> WELL, WE HAVE A LOT OF ME, M E, MES IN THE ROOM!

<goodsis1> I'm not sure what my goal weight should be.

<thedietscribe> i know, i have zero time really Iris

<pamyj1> Me

<Harrimae> I am down 46lbssince march

<BBHippo> Keep losing and gaining the same weight over and over

<thedietscribe> we'll talk later

<vickyw> i haven't gained any back

<denisedoc> excellent, harrimae

<debrarae> yes

<sandyatksn> yeah harrimae

<marcia420> me too BB

<Bunchster> Hi .

<biskit_> 20 pounds under goal

<Bertie131> Wonderful Harrimae! clap

<S> SO TELL ME IN A FEW OF YOUR CHOICE WORDS, WHY DO YOU

THINK YOU'VE NOT EVER REACHED YOUR GOAL WEIGHT IN ALL OF THESE YEARS

OF TRYING TO DO SO.

<HomerunJen> yeh biskit

<karenb_54> biskit that is awesome!

<irisagogo> Kathy, at first it felt awful, and then after 16 laps, I

felt emotionally wonderful, physically drained. I have no aerobic

capacity for swimming, even with all the aerobics I do. Cross

training is definitely essential.

<pamyj1> down 12 but stuck on a plateau---but I am working on it

<SweetSuz> No gain is a goal

<parrotslave> fear

<Bertie131> I let things stand in my way and I am done with that!

<konnanne> i keep giving up because i feel i have no support

<leftylily> lack of belief that its possiible.

<karenb_54> because I believe more in the people I love then I

believe in myself

<ainSeattle> Medical obstacles that I have just been able to

conquer

<scrappy> Hmmm you tell me then we will both/all know

<teenystar> hard to keep seeing the long term goal

<denisedoc> I did not believe in me until January 2005

<waistingaway> the " Wall "

<JoeGanci> Because I had 347 pounds to lose! But I've only 100 lbs

left!

<sandyatksn> too many excuses...and too many MONDAYS!

<sweetmom> I put everyone else first

<sweatinqt> I don't make time for me, but I do for everyone else

incl. work

<debrarae> I've been sick alot. When I get sick I gain. When I am

healthy and able to exercise and eat right .......I lose and keep on

losing.

<thedietscribe> i have reached it, but not sure why this time I cant

finish it off and get there again..

<csedore> get discouraged and lose site of the goal

<irisagogo> , there is no secret here ... I just give up too

quickly, stop believing in myself, believe in others so much more.

<countrybunny> fear has held me back

<jubalgranma> stress

<pattianne> its too hard

<mizcolleen> I get lazy about it

<winifred> i have now got your plan. My heealthe got critical

<Anne_Marie> I keep loosing my focus, I don't seem to have the

attention span to stick with things for long

<priney> I think I just did not want it bad enough....and I thought

I was not worth the effort

<Bunchster> Finally found you! I lost 12 lbs. this week that started

me moving with my Food Mover.

<Bertie131> Joe is a star!!

<vickyw> I have...then I got pregnant...but this last time was plain

laziness

<ween88> I can't answer that question as this is only the second

time I've tried to do this and I think I am doing good. Last time a

broken leg got in the way.

<roselace> it is hard to do without day after day , month after

month

<jujubear1> i have only been on theprogram for a year and cant do

alot of exercies because of my knees

<seriouseyz> I guess not believing in myself enough, or not putting

myself first...

<SweetSuz> Stress and laziness

<tistime4me> I do not apply myself, just like so many of the things

in my life

<2outof3> lazy

<tistime4me> But I am working on it

<Anne_Marie> I tend to jum in with both feet and obsess with things

then burn out quickly

<jujubear1> i walk alot but thats about it

<npeileen> lazy here

<perky1> because I use food to make me feel better

<ptsue> Been there ...just hard to keep

<maple_bear> putting everyone in my life before me...and laziness

<BBHippo> I do wonderfully for about 3 days, then everything goes

to .... well......

<2outof3> PMS

<Anne_Marie> jump

<DaisyLu> I start out really good loosing then it is like I just

give up

<thedietscribe> thats me, perky, i do that too

<marcia420> depression

<S> WELL, AT LEAST YOU'RE VERY HONEST WITH ME THIS EVENING,

AND IT'S IMPORTANT FOR YOU TO BE HONEST.

<jujubear1> and with my eyesight i cant follow you very good

<winifred> this week made a decision to cut out a lot of sitting

activities and be more active

<S> MOST OF YOU BELONG TO THE I STOP AND START CLUB.

<nvrgivup> i felt like i wasnt worth the effort

<karenb_54> this is one of the places I can be honest

<csedore> just no time to get the exercise in. I don't gain, I just

don't get to exercise

<S> YOU'RE NOT ALONE, THERE ARE MILLIONS OF MEMBERS!

<sweatinqt> What is the point if you're not honest?

<floann2> yes

<buffetqueen> I think I missed something

<konnanne> that's me!

<Thing1> Night I'm heading to bed have Auditions in the morning

<JoeGanci> Thanks, Bertie!

<goodsis1> For me, a better question is why am I making it this time

when I never did before?

<debrarae> but that's not where I want to be .

<teenystar> i dont want to belong to that club

<sandyatksn> i could be the chairman

<VICTORIAP> i am the president of that club

<thedietscribe> i just love to eat, its simple as that i think

<biskit_> join the start and never stop club

<leftylily> I am quitting the club.

<denisedoc> I have not stopped in over 7 months

<S> IT'S ALSO CALLED THE HIGH LOW CLUB. WHEN YOU'RE FEELING

HIGH AND HAPPY, YOU EAT WELL AND EXERCISE REGULARLY. WHEN YOU'RE

FEELING LOW AND DOWN, YOU COULD CARE LESS ABOUT YOUR WEIGHT OR

ANYTHING!

<jubalgranma> i want to cancel my membership in that club

<Anne_Marie> I know I'm a founding memeber

<HomerunJen> yeh biskit you and i can be founding memebers

<nvrgivup> The YoYo Sisterhood! Big Grin

<Bertie131> No problem Joe!

<floann2> true

<2outof3> Amen!

<debrarae> lol

<priney> that is me

<hawkeye> so true

<pattianne> oh so true,

<SweetSuz> That's me

<roselace> very true

<vickyw: from starr> i seem to be the other way around lately

<S> I'VE BEEN THERE, TOO, SO I KNOW HOW IT FEELS, BUT HERE'S

THE PLAIN TRUTH.

<irisagogo> Ree, this time it is different. I still cared, but I

didn't want to care. I can't believe I did a food sheet as upset as

I was.

<buffetqueen> , it's amazing what you can do when you THINK you

can do it

<HedgieMom> I want to join Biskit and jen

<bjzs1> true

<Harrimae> Ihave learned to think on the thing I can have not onwhat

I cant have

<debrarae> I'm listening

<S> YOU JUST DON'T BELIEVE IN YOURSELF ENOUGH, AND YOU

HAVEN'T CHALLENGED YOURSELF LATELY.

<DaisyLu> so true-never thought of it that way

<leftylily> I am not going to keep talking about it, its either put

up, or shut up for me.

<parrotslave> potatoes are my prozac

<thedietscribe> good for you Iris

<biskit_> hedgie your in

<nvrgivup> i'm not quite there yet i guess kathy

<konnanne> when i feel down i really think about my weight

<floann2> true

<pattianne> puch

<winifred> when i think low i think of all the positive things on

the cruise all the sets and everything you did to build me up

<S> EVERY PERSON IN HERE IS CAPABLE OF LOSING WEIGHT.

<thedietscribe> i had no time for foodsheets last week!

<HedgieMom> Thanks Big Grin

<pattianne> ouch

<HomerunJen> true

<floann2> yes

<debrarae> Yes

<S> AND I MEAN EVERY PERSON IN HERE!

<hawkeye> good for you Lily

<pamyj1> my motivation slowed down---but its getting better

<jujubear1> so true

<goodsis1> LOL Parrotslave!

<HomerunJen> preach it brother

<irisagogo> I just couldn't gain weight this trip, it wouldn't solve

anything. Just make me more upset.

<sandyatksn> affirmative

<priney> I'm getting there in baby steps.....

<Anne_Marie> losing it yes, keeping it off is another story

<JoeGanci> I BELIEVE!

<SweetSuz> Yep

<HedgieMom> Amen

<S> YOU DO HAVE SOME ROADBLOCKS AHEAD OF YOU, BUT MANY OF

THESE ROAD BLOCKS WERE PUT THERE BY YOU.

<leftylily> thanks.

<buffetqueen> you are so right

<sweatinqt> You're right

<npeileen> you are so right richard

<thedietscribe> so true!

<thinlynn> It really all starts in your head.

<debrarae> ok

<konnanne> amen

<hawkeye> Yes

<Bertie131> That is very true

<denisedoc> My gall bladder set me back a little but I'm bouncing

back

<bjzs1> true

<nvrgivup> i know....cause i've lost the same weight over and over

and over again!

<2outof3> my butt is a road block

<maple_bear> very true ...very true

<csedore> so true

<DaisyLu> very true

<S> STRONG BELIEF IN YOURSELF BREAKS DOWN ROAD BLOCKS SO THAT

YOU CAN REACH THE FINISH LINE.

<buffetqueen> OH THAT IS SOOOO TRUE, WE DO PUT THEM THERE

<ainSeattle> sorry need to go unfortnately too much water and

time to go and get out of this hot house...

<Bunchster> , Where can I get a copy of Project me Passport?

I lost mine

<debrarae> Yes

<SweetSuz> SO TRUE

<S> WHY IS IT SO HARD TO BELIEVE IN YOURSELF ON DAYS WHEN

YOU'RE DOWN?

<perky1> They were all put there by me

<HomerunJen> we do put them there

<floann2> yes

<winifred> a lot of it is about dicipline

<S> AND SO EASY TO BELIEVE IN YOURSELF WHEN YOU'RE FLYING

HIGH IN THE SKY?

<countrybunny> Oh, so true, . I'm my own worst enemy.

<debrarae> I posted it on the bulliten boards Bunchster

<pamyj1> yep---speed bumps

<sandyatksn> it's hard either way

<DaisyLu> yes

<HomerunJen> very true

<priney> low self esteem

<VICTORIAP> hormones are a powerful thing

<ainSeattle> my roadblocks are me adn I am doing fine

down now 50 pounds since MArch and I am taking it slow

<buffetqueen> sometimes it is because we listen to the negativity we

hear from others Confused

<parrotslave> I think it is tied to brain chemistry

<waistingaway> don't know why

<debrarae> Because when you are down, you lose focus and only see

the problem and not the solution

<Anne_Marie> Because that requires effort, grabing a bag of oreos

doesn't

<denisedoc> we are used to seeing ourselves as failures when we

really are not

<Cincosmama> right now this very minute I am facing my pain instead

of soothing myself. My Mom told me tonight she does not love me, she

has Alzheimers. All the way home I was thinking how would I handle

this pain? Thank God I was able to get in here

<ainSeattle> I tell myself to be postive no mqtter what now

eveyrday and it works

<tistime4me> Hi Janice!!

<maple_bear> I wish I knew .

<priney> so true kathy

<buffetqueen> that's wonderful a

<teenystar> ive been up and down so much ifeel like a failure

<jroedel> HI Dee

<S:> HERE'S WHAT KILLS YOUR SELF BELIEF: LISTENING TO STUPID

AND INSANE PEOPLE, AND ALL OF YOU HAVE BOTH TYPES OF PEOPLE IN YOUR

LIFE!

<perky1> Because when you are down food makes you feel better if

only for a little while

<irisagogo> So sad, Becky.

<thedietscribe> i think its a reflect reaction we've conditioned

ourselves to feel

<sandyatksn> yo yo syndrome

<debrarae> yes

<jujubear1> i sure do

<thedietscribe> thats reflex i mean, i cant type tonight

<konnanne> you said it!

<buffetqueen> Becky, that was not your mom speaking love

<floann2> yes true

<HomerunJen> Becky...just understand where your momis in her

thinking.

<leftylily> campers, I am going to get to bed so that I can get up

at 5 and workout.

<biskit_> cinco that is not your mama talking

<SweetSuz> Too many

<debrarae> right sandy the yoyo sisterhood

<leftylily> I love you richard.

<jujubear1> my family used to ride my about my weight

<winifred> i have tried to stay away from negative people and its

helping

<maple_bear> {{{Becky}}} you know she didn't mean it...she didn't

know what she was saying

<PreciousGem> I have positive people in my life.....but believe only

the worst in myself.

<HedgieMom> I'm sorry Cinco. I know what your going through. angel

<BBHippo> It usually isn't some outside force that throws me off ...

It's ALL ME !!!!

<Bertie131> The people that say that it is Ok to eat those fries b/c

they don;t want to see you lose...

<priney> nite lefty

<S> WHEN SOMEONE SAYS SOMETHING NEGATIVE ABOUT YOU, YOU

AUTOMATICALLY TAKE IT TO BE TRUE. YOU LET OTHER PEOPLE DICTATE WHAT

KIND OF MOOD YOU'RE IN. THAT HAS GOT TO STOP IF YOU WANT TO REACH

ANY OF YOUR GOALS.

<debrarae> Yes

<floann2> true

<pattianne> hubby, is a sabotager

<Cincosmama> my head knows that but my heart breaks and I want to

eat or drink or smoke isnt that crazy????

<JoeGanci> we compare the worst in ourselves with the best in

others

<2outof3> The bad stuff is easy to believe

<priney> true RS

<konnanne> i am trying to stop feeling that way

<hawkeye> that can be true but am working on it

<S> WHY SHOULD YOU BELIEVE THEM MORE THAN YOU BELIEVE IN YOU?

WHO KNOWS YOU BETTER THAN YOU DO?

<seriouseyz> I have very supportive people in my life, its me who

doesn't believe in me, and me who talks negative about me.

<debrarae> (((PATTIEANNE)))

<SweetSuz> Only people I care for

<perky1> I needed that

<nvrgivup> and if someone says something nice we don't believe it

LOL

<thedietscribe> very true, i got rid of most of my nay sayers

<jujubear1> my brother is my sabator

<DaisyLu> yes

<sandyatksn> no one really says bad stuff to me...but i say it to

myself

<biskit_> cinco its human

<denisedoc> I've had to stay away from those people and some of

those people are family

<floann2> true

<konnanne> no one

<sweatinqt> I'm way better then that these days.

<tistime4me> And if I am not listening to others it is myself

putting me down

<debrarae> I do . Because I am the one who lives in my body.

<Anne_Marie> Most people around me are very supportive, I'm my own

worst enemy

<priney> that is so true RS

<waistingaway> seems there are more of them than there are of me

<hawkeye> ditto sandy

<HomerunJen> you should just say to her " you dont, well I love you! "

<jubalgranma> why indeed, richard

<buffetqueen> exercise instead Becky

<jroedel> true

<soccermom1> anne marie you need a visit

<S> SOME PEOPLE DON'T KNOW HOW TO USE WORDS. SOME PEOPLE

DON'T THINK BEFORE THEY TALK, AND SOME PEOPLE ARE JUST DOWNRIGHT

JEALOUS AND WANT TO SPOIL YOUR DAY.

<thedietscribe> my Mom..

<denisedoc> amen to that,

<S> WELL, LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING! I BELIEVE IN YOU, AND

I'VE BELIEVED IN MANY OF YOU FOR A LONG TIME!

<floann2> thats true

<npeileen> very true richard

<HedgieMom> Cinco ((((((HUGS))))))

<parrotslave> too true

<debrarae> I've seen them all .

<konnanne> i agree

<ptsue> Everyone thinks I am so strong but sometimes I am the one

needing a hug or kind word

<S> MY WHOLE ROLE IN YOUR LIFE IS TO MAKE YOU BELIEVE IN

YOURSELF MORE!

<DaisyLu> very true,

<debrarae> Yes you have . Iwould have given up by now.

<nvrgivup> it's amazing

<biskit_> you believed in me before I did Thanks

<HomerunJen> i have an alzheimers patient who tried to pucnh me out

a whikleback and the other day she grabbed me adn told me she loved

me and kissed me alll over my arms

<winifred> the exercise has helped me to feel more positive about

everythinkg

<floann2> true

<irisagogo> Wow, that is so true, although I can never imagine

anyone jealous of me. I just figure they are mean, because they are

mean, or I deserve it.

<konnanne> and you do,

<jubalgranma> thank you

<seriouseyz> You sure have ...

<pamyj1> and some people like to be mean---

<Cincosmama> kathy I dont know what I would have done if I couldnt

have gotten in here I hope I dont have a delayed reaction Im still

numb

<jroedel> thank you :-)

<Bertie131> Ditto what biskit said..

me.

<denisedoc> - you believed in me until I could believe in

myself- Thank you for that

candy when I was at the grocer.

<ptsue> YOu have helped me more than you know

<SweetSuz> If you hadn't I would not be here

cook clap

<tistime4me> Yes, and Biskit, thankyou both for believing in

me so that i will one day

<debrarae> Yes . It's because of you that I've learned how to

believe in myself.

<S> EVEN WHEN YOU DON'T WRITE ME WHEN YOU SAY YOU'RE GOING TO

WRITE ME, EVEN THOUGH YOU DON'T FILL OUT FOOD SHEETS WHEN YOU SAY

YOU'RE GOING TO FILL OUT FOOD SHEETS, AND EVEN WHEN YOU MAKE UMPTEEN

PROMISES THAT YOU DON'T KEEP, I HAVE AN ARRAY OF BELIEFS THAT ARE

SHINING YOUR WAY!

<2outof3> I need a pic of you saying you belive in me on my

mirroe!!!
