Kathleen,

I am glad you feel like you can " talk " to us. I think I can say we haave all

been there and done just that. For me it's like if I don't tlk or think

about my weight, it doesn't bother me when really it does trememdously.

I am delighted for you that you have had a lose for the last 2 weeks. You

sound like you are getting back on track. Don't stay away anymore!!!

Take care,

Aggie

Tonya,

Thanks for the encouragement. If it hadn't been for my TOPS group,

I think I would have stopped trying to lose weight by now. In January

I talked to my doctor about losing weight. I didn't want to diet, but

knew I had to lose weight or quit expecting to carry on anything

resembling a normal life due to arthritis. She asked me how I

planned to go about losing weight. Wise question, I think. I told her I

was going to just cut back on what I ate, not eliminating any of my

favorite foods AND that I was going to join TOPS. She didn't know

what TOPS was so I gave her a quick explanation. At that time I

had not been in TOPS for 30 years, so I had no idea what the group

was going to be like (some are not as helpful as others, as everyone

here knows). I told the doctor " those ladies are going to help me

lose weight whether they want to or not " . And they have. :)

Not feeling well really makes a difference...You will do better!!!!

Roll Call

Well, I did it again. Gained back almost all the weight I had lost the previous week. Harumph! I gained 1.9 pounds. I think part of it is that I didn't do much exercising this week due to a flare up of arthritis. Well, tomorrow is another day. Hopefully I can do better.

psyche myself into better eating habits tomorrow.

I'm sorry to hear that Carolyn. That can be so disappointing and

discouraging, but don't let it stop you. I had a gain also. :(

I am trying to be more careful since we are going into the holidays

and I always overeat then. We have a big family and lots of good

food to tempt us all. Together we can do this!
