Thought I better check in. Went on vacation to Branson, then to my grandmother's 102 birthday, and tomorrow I'm off to see my son and his family in Michigan. So, I've been out-of-pocket and will continue to be so until next week.
I haven't done well at all on my weight loss, in fact I thought I better get on the scales and see the damage...I'm up to 178.5. Only 1/2 pound away from where I was at the beginning of the summer. A week from Friday 8/8 I'm back to work. I feel like a looser and I don't mean in a good sense. I get so depressed when I can't loose weight. I bought some clothes last week in Branson, and I can't fit into them now!
I am going back to the doctor today, for my thyroid and I'm going to do some heavy complaining about my weight. I sure hopes he offers some encouragement, support and at this point I'm wanting some PILLS!
I appologize for my bad attitude. Hey, fat does it everytime. I'm hoping the next time I update my blog I'll have some good news to report. I'm always dreaming, always thinking of ways I can look, feel and do better for myself. My plans don't always pan out, though, and it's then when I feel down-in-the-dumps. I'll let you know what the doctor says and if you don't hear back from me today, I'll be back next week.
Hope all my new friends out there are doing well. I'm going to stop writing now and go to your blogs and check on you all. It will be good for me to touch base with you.

Best wishes at the doctor's!
Hi,
Congratulations to your grandmother! 102, WOW! Best wishes for your son in Michigan, too! Enjoy your visit!
Whoa, you sound very discouraged. I wish I could fix that. Please know that you get as many "do-overs" as you need. In fact, you can start over any minute of any day! At 5'7", my guess is that you look good already and don't have far to go, but what counts is when YOU feel good! You're still down from the beginning; however, and many people weigh MORE now than they did at the beginning of the summer. You've had a lot going on in your life and that can interfere, sometimes. You'll get there, as long as you DON'T GIVE UP! You'll be able to wear those clothes you bought in Branson if you make a promise to yourself to hang in there. You CAN do it!
As far as diet pills are concerned, I've tried them and they don't work. BUT--if the doctor says you need pills for your thyroid function, that's very different! I have two friends who had hypothyroidism and their prescriptions have helped them both immensely: weight-wise, energy-wise and even mood-wise! Please keep us posted on your visit and follow-up.
As for me, good thing I added the "cushioning". This morning my scale actually read 173! I was LESS than 172 Monday, but I reported it as 173 to allow some leeway. I'm hoping it goes down again by weigh-in on August 4. I really shouldn't weigh myself every day. It makes me NUTZ!
