Guest guest Posted September 5, 2001 Report Share Posted September 5, 2001 Hi Everyone, First, dear , our hearts go out to you. All of us send prayers to you, your family, and this little soul returning home so soon. We cannot see the big picture, but those of us " on stage " and those " in the wings " all belong to the Father, and are dearly loved. No one understands why their visit is so short, and the reason for the broken hearts they leave behind--but this little one in just a few weeks has reminded us how precious is life, and generated so much love in our hearts for you. We know you will be up and about soon. My weigh-in was yesterday and I lost another 2.4 lbs! I can't believe it!!! I am eating less, more salads,big salads! and stay a little below my low range and walking every morning. I can tell my pants are falling off! Remember the ones that were dragging the floor? Can't even wear them now! The ones that were too tight to wear to work and now loose, too! I finally went out and bought a new pant suit,not expensive, but silk button down blouse and draw string pants in purple. And today had my hair cut and streaked, found a new stylist that gave me a younger cut,short but longer in back. I look 10 years younger, and with another birthday coming up next week, I need all the help I can get! LOL!! One thing I did learn this week was that I need my vitamins. I stopped taking them and boy! did I feel tired, could hardly get off the sofa to go to work, and slept alot. So, I went back on them, and now I'm pretty perky again. I do take quite a few: C,B12,E, multiple vitamin, Milk Thistle, Flax Seed oil, Chromium 200, and Alpha Lipoic Acid 100. Also, I wanted to ask if anyone has tried the new Take Control or Benecol " butters " ? I've been using Promise, but would try something else if it's better. GOOD LUCK TO ALL! Just hang in there! After a month of not losing, it's starting to come off again. Just try different things until you find what works for you, and EXERCISE!

Guest guest Posted September 5, 2001 Report Share Posted September 5, 2001 Your loss and all is great news! I love to hear the good reports. I am glad you got an all over make over, what a reward for hard work! I bet you feel like a million dollars! I know I do. I did something similar. I am now in a smaller size and went shopping at all the end of season sales. I did pretty good. Did the new hairdo and feel fantastic! I see a completely new me even though I haven't budged down on the scale in a month. I think feeling good will change that very soon. It really gives you a perk me up! AND, I am being flirted with again once every week or so! I can't even believe it. I am with the kiddos, too! Wow, I must be something! hehe -- just kidding! > Hi Everyone, > First, dear , our hearts go out to you. All of us send > prayers to you, your family, and this little soul returning > home so soon.

Guest guest Posted September 6, 2001 Report Share Posted September 6, 2001 Dot~ I have tried the Take Control and it is ok, but I really like the Brummel and Brown Spread. It has a wonderful flavor (it is made from yogurt) and is only 1 point per Tablespoon. I like the B & B much better than any of the other lite oleos that I have tried.

Guest guest Posted September 6, 2001 Report Share Posted September 6, 2001 My weigh-in was yesterday and I lost another 2.4 lbs! I can'tbelieve it!!! Congratulations on your weight loss! That's great! That would be so cool to have your pants falling off of you. I have only lost 12 lbs. so far and since I am 5 ft. 10 in. tall it takes more than 12 for people to even notice. I have only had 2 people comment that it looks like I have lost weight. My pants do fit better though. Wow! You went out and got your hair done too! I have noticed on before and after pictures that people usually don't even look that same after the weight loss and it's more because of hair styling, coloring, etc. I think it's because the self esteem goes way up! Boy, didn't mean to go on and on! Congratulations! I also lost 2 lbs. this week.

Guest guest Posted September 7, 2001 Report Share Posted September 7, 2001 Way to go Dot!!! I also eat either just at my low points or below, I never seem to be able to get them all in. Isn't it fantastic when you see the change! Keep up the good work! Maureen > Hi Everyone, > First, dear , our hearts go out to you.
