I have statred a new support group more like a store.
Hi everyone at EP well I have been working on my support gruop for like a week . The group is more like a store where I thought alot of use could sell.trade,giveaway clothes that we no longer need and look for stuff that we might like.
So today I was able to change my logo sign not to the one I wanted to my neice made me a sign I wanted to put up but right now I am having trouble getting it to upload so for now I have a pair of Jeans as the logo.
I came up with this idea when I was going through my closet and saw that I had so many things that are NEW with tags and stuuf that I wore once or a few times but are in perfect shape and was going to sell them or give them away. Then I was like you know what the women on EP might really like to get some of these things and they might even have things they want to sell,trade,giveaway. ALL OF YOU HAVE BEEN THE BEST HELPING ME STAY ON TRACK. So I was thinking it would be fun to have a store on EP and I said I can do this I just need to do it. So please look at my support group and let me know what you think.
I was trying to put the clothes on the support group but I was not able to figure that one out YETI will keep trying if you know how I can do it please contact me that would be such a big help. For now you will have to go to my site and click on photos and then click on Clothing looking to sell or trade then hit view in blog and I hope you can see the items that I have put up there. I started with a few because if you guys had somethings you like to add to the store just send me a picture and description of the clothing and I will add it to the group/store.
I know when I started my change of life on June9th08 I was in a place that I thought I would never find my back to where I feel happy with myself. That is not the case at all. With allof you on EP that have sent me notes with support they mean more to me then really anybody that I know because you guys know the hard times and the rewards you get if you work hard.
If you could please pass my support group to all your friends that would be great. Alot of you have been on there much longer then me and know more people I am just trying to get the word out.
Does anyone know how I can put my group out there to let everyone know about it?
I am hoping that this store is a good idea and will be a big hit on EP. I am so proud of everyone that has done such a good job and to all the new people I am glad to meet you. You will do great just have faith and remember we are here to talk to if you need us. I have one great friend on here and she knows who she is because I tell her all the time her messages to me make me feel like my sister is talking to me.
So please if you have clothes you no longer can wear or just don't want anymore then here is the place to get rid of them and help someone at the same time so go in your cloest that you have been dreading cleaning out and get the stuff out that you are not going to wear. You are changing your life and your clothes size is changing as well. If you do this you will be doing a workout and making a fresh start and room for the clothes you will need when you keep losing and doing a great job SO GO CLEAN OUT THOSE CLOSETES AND LET ME KNOW IF YOU COME UP WITH STUFF YOU LIKE PUT IN THE STORE.
Please join the group and give me any ideas that you might have to make it a hit.
Well I was looking back at my blogs and I see that I really only write about my weight lose not my life and well yes this week I lost 7lbs. There I go again but I never share really who I am what my life is like so here goes if anyone wants to listen but I just a need to to write and by the way if your a lawyer and if anything thing I am writing sounds not right please let me know if you can and maybe what I can do about it.
Well my nephew got hit over the head with the claw of a hammer by this guy he knows from growing up where we live the kids all know each other well he is not a kid he is 24 my nephew and the guy that hit him I think but close to that age and they are saying it is self defense but right after the guy did this he drove out of town had his car detalied and the best of it the hammer he turned into the police 3 days later when he turned himself in had no DNA of my nephew at all and this guy never went to the police to say he thought my nephew was going to hurt him.The police found no weapon on my nephew or any near by my nephew was almost on conusisous when they got there. Hea had to have brain surgey 12 fragments taken out of his head and he almost died or should have died the doc said . My nephew has a scare but he can talk walk and really is a micracle but he also has proioblems with this terrible attack that may last him his whole life. But the terrible thing is my nephew didn't have health insurance at the time of the assult so the bills are in the thousands and this guy was indited by the grand jury on attempeted 1st degree murder that carry upto life where I live and 1st degree assult wich carry up to 20 year if this guy was found guilty. But since he has all those bills and his family has hired a big frim to go up against this state attonary that is like fish out of the water they want 2nd degree assult pay bills and a jail cap of no more then 3 years so even if he got that he would only do 18 months with good behavior and would not have to go to state prison what the hell kind of world do we live in. Now for my nephew he has no criminal record but he has doen his bad share of things but never hurting anyone with a waepon but did he fight as a teenage sure he did. But never charged and he had few other problem but nothing that was ever reported to the police or on his record it is all hear say but the sate says that they can not get a felony conviction then why the hell did they take it to the grand jury who did think there was enought to go to trial. So this wack job gets to go away for 18months or less because my nephew had no insurance. I have been crying for days and they never did any follow up investion gation i found out this guy has been to 2 or 3 partys saying he had a gun and was kicked out of the partys but the state says we can use that because it has nothing to do with the case, But I feel it goes to motive this guy is crazy. The state is giving us the run around and I feel like he does not want to go up against this guys law frim but on the other hand he says if Jesse had insurance we would be in a whole better place it is all to much so if you have any ideas please let me know or send me a private note or if you know a defense lawyer you could just share this with and see what they think I kind of need to know right away I think the state wants to plea TOMORROW. i live in maryland and if you can help or know anything please send me a privaate message. So that is how I have been doing/? it is so sad that this guy is going to get away with. Got please dont moved Maryland if you think you are going to get any justice if you are a victim of terrible crime. Again if you have advice or anything that can help ploease let me know I will check the site ever few hours to see if i get any feed back.
Well today I checked my weight and I lost another 5lbs and I am very happy but to tell the truth I think week it had more to do with 2 new people I know one that I have been talking to here over email and Meg I hope we talk this weekend let me know just writing you came me more reason to move even harder. I hope you had a good week.
The other one is my doc cost alot and I do mean alot but because of the way I have been doing on my ' life change to a better me' He asked if I like to help out with a few of his clients that are not doing what they should or are having problems with getting going. For doing this he will see me for freeand I got to help someone just like me. So my doc said he was going to call this one women who was around my age and we don't live far to see if she would like to have a buddie she said yes anything. So we had our appointment times the same time on Monday and she is so sweet. So her weight is in the 300 area and I know just what that is like an when he brought me in the room and asked if both of us mind him shared our information just general we were both fine. So my doc say's it just like it is and I love that in people I really do. So he told her CANDIE i am just calling her that because I know she loves candie. That she has been on the same program as me and has only lost 18lbs and he told her he is not sure what is going on if she is not ready to do this that is fine and not to waste her money because you have to do this for you. Or she just needs a friend that this is in the same place and can be friends with. SHE SAID SHE IS NOT SURE WHAT IS HAPPENING BUT SHE IS READY AND WOULD LOVE A FRIEND. I ways happy because I was going to have a new friend and maybe I could help her and she could help me.
So we both got weighed together and then I went to her house to see what was going on with her food and what she was doing. When I got there she started off right away with well I keep junk food in the house when friends come over. I said you are lying and that she needed to be honest to lose the weight. I told her when they come over order a Pizza she was laughing and said you are right and that she was not being honest with the doc. I said CANDIE you are paying so much money to him you have to follow the program or it won't work. She went on about this and that and I just said will you for the next 5 days just follow what I suggest and then she can either not like it or do what you want's so she was OK I PROMISE I WILL. That was great i really thought she was going to do it. So we went through her food and it was terrible we through out alot well she gave it to a friend. We got everything out that was not good at all. Then off to the store food shopping and I told her she had to get what I said she said ok. It went ok except here and there But we got the food and stuff I went back to her house and I wrote down the things she could eat for the day and when to stop to eat no matter what at 7pm and alot of other stuff. She said Ok I am ready for this. So we have talked everyday and I have this great scale and Just to help her out more I said you come over on Saturday today at 8am and we will weigh ourselves and who ever lost the most weight would have to buy the other person food for the week she said GREAT Well when we were talking over this week she said she was doing it and had not cheated once and I was thinking what a great job hoping she was really doing it. Well she lost 9lbs and I lost 5lbs but I was so happy for her and before she got on the scale she said she felt better but that she was not sure if she lost because in all this time she seemed to be going no where. SHE WAS SO HAPPY JUMPING IS THIS SCALE RIGHT ? I said yes and she said for get you buying my food she was going to buy mine but I had aleady bought a gift card for the food store because I knew she had it in her. I said no you won and I gave her the gift card. I am so happy for her and I also had alot of really nice clothes that are to big for me now but they were in great shape and I gave them to her. I was glad that I could find a home for them. So she left happy and I was so happy because she helped me as well. I stayed on tracked with my stuff and we were and are there for each other. So just to end this it is nice to have friends through this journey as we all start to change our lives for the better. I hope you guys have a great week end.

I got the WII and it has helped really lost 7lbs this week and the other great thing is my nephews come over all most everyday now. I woke up the other day at 5am to them playing my games and witha few friends. everyone is over 21 that was there so when I came out I was thinking what is going on. So I look to see all these people and you know what the first thing my nephew said is Deb your looking good but your food sucks. He then said we pretty much eat it all. i went to bed at like 9pm I had a long week and they got there they said around 11pm. They were right they eat everything all of it so now I am on my way to the store for food for the week. My nephew also asked if I could pick up some food for them. I SAID NO WAY and to give me back my keys he said ok if we can take the game. I love them so much It is nice to see them smile since they lost there mom I want them to always feel welcome here. Have a great day everyone.
Hi everyone I am so happy today I just weight myself and I lost another 7lbs this week and I love my doc he is the best thing going. Since June 9th 08 until today Aug24th08 I have lost a total of 67lbs and it has only been 12 weeks my god I feel like I am getting somewhere But I still have so much to lose that it seems like it will take for ever. I am still looking for friends on here to talk to but it kind of seems hard. I have had so many nice notes sent to me and thank you all. They have helped me more then you know but I am really looking for someone to chat with like every day or so. Just to help each other out. If you want to be that person please let me know. I wish all of you the best of luck and I know you guys can do it.
Hi guys I was wondering if any of you have heard the the WII game system helps to lose weigh I heard that and read that but I like to know what you guys think. I was going to go buy it.
I feel like I am kind of lost I really need some friends who I can talk to if you can do this please let me know. I have put out a few post but nobody has said they would like to help each other. I do like the site and people have wished me well as I do them but I have so much weigh to lose that I need a few friends thanks guys. I hope that everyone is doing ok today.
I want to say that I like this site but I have not been able to find any friends or I am not looking in the right places. If anyone can help that would be great. I am also looking for sucess stories of people that have lost over 100lbs if anyone knows any good websites to look at please let me know. I am really trying to work on me and today I changed my weight and I have lost some more and that is good but I like to lose it faster. I am sure everyone would. I belong to a few groups on here but there never seems to be any new posting. So if you need to lose alot of weight and looking for a friend please reach out to me. And if you just want to leave me a few wesites i can vist that would be great. I hope everyone is have a good day. Thanks
Hi everyone i just needed to write how I was feeling today.Well I had to go to the doctor because I had a bad beast exam and I did all the test the doctor wanted me to and then he said well I want you to go see a surgen to look over my films and I said ok. So all of this was last month and to get into a really great doctor that I wanted I have to wait till Sep17th someone could die waiting that long so I said I will go see the doctor who took out my galbladder he was very nice and I really didnt want to wait.OK SO TODAY I go see him I bring all my films and reports and he looks at them and say well I dont think the radioloist doctor read the films right and I am sitting there thinking ok this guy is a surgan not a radiolist you know they go to school just to read fims. He said he see something more and that I need to go and get a MRI done and he gives me the paperwork . Tells me not to worry to much and try to think of good thoughts YEA thats what I am thinking he just said he saw something more but go home to relax sure thing I am thinking. SO YOU THINK THAT WAS BAD just when I was leaving he said Deb I really need you to lose weight for your health and I had not told him I just lost 54lbs because in my chart 3 years aago I was thinnner then I am now even with the weight I lost. I gained like 85lbs when I lost my sister to cancer. So I told him I just lost 54lbs in lease then 2months and then he says i think that is to quick of a weight lose and I am thinking ok this guy has lost his mind since I saw him last or I have and I am still not sure who has. So i said to him then how much should I lose he said 2-3lbs a week and I am thinking o my god it will take me 4 years to get this weight off. WELL LET JUST SAY WHEN I LEFT I WAS UPSET so on my way home I said you know what I am going to go to Mcdonalds who the hell cares at this point and then I thought you know what my sister would care and she would say just get the test done and go see the other doctor that way I will have already done this extra test. I also know my sister would say if you want to eat Mcdonalds you can but then you would be letting that doctor get to you and you are stronger then that Deb. YOU KNOW WHAT I REALLYTHINK WHEN WE LOSE SOMEONE THEY ARE STILL WITH US. So are you wondering if I went to Mcdonalds well the answer is NO instead I went home to see if this doctor had ever been sued before. But to be honest I guess he was trying to take care of me and we do want that from our doctors and he had no idea I had gained so much weight but I AM STILL GOINGTO THE OTHER DOCTER as well. So that was my day and my diet is still going strong and I pray on it everynight and day . I am praying for all of you as well and I hope that everyone is doing great and that they are not giving up. Thanks
Well today has been ok except that I feel so lost and not in control of my life. I know that I have lost 52lbs and I am very happy about that but I just keep thinking of all the weight I need to loose and then I feel like giving up. But I have not cheated at all not even once since I started my program to make me look and feel better. I am seeing a doc about my depression and I do like him but he wants me to take so many meds and I did and I gained more weight because Inever sleep I am lucky if I can sleep 3 hours a night no kidding. I have had this problem all my life and I have tried everything under the sun but nothing has helped. So i said that I am going to stop the night meds witch made me gain extra weight . So I wont sleep whats new. I am thinking of you all and hoping that today was a great day for you and if you slipped up thats ok you just start again tomorrow. I am glad I found all of you and that I now can write how I am feeling to people that understand what I am going through. I love to hear from people and the people that have reached out to me thanks you made my night.
