Hey Babs. I'm sorry to hear the doc told you the weight wouldn't come off no matter what you do. At least you know there is an end in sight. You're still going to hang out on this board tho right?

You were pretty much the first person to reach out to me and make me feel like someone cares I'm on here and I wouldn't want to lose that so soon. Take care of yourself...

You know, there's always an end with each beginning in life. Figuring out how to deal with the beginings we DON'T like is the challenge we all face. In my case, I cannot wait for the "end" to come. Life will be soo much better, I'm sure!

Of course I'll still hang out on this board and mess with ya!!

Aw sugar, I'll always be here for ya!!!! Count on it!! I love motivating people. Mostly when they're done and feel they cann't do any better than what they've got. Anything is possible darlin. Always remember that!!!

I accept the big hug and smooch offer

I am really good thanks. As I told Stacey, we're childless for the coming week (starting Saturday) so we're flexing our partying muscle. Should be interesting. We're going to Calgary (a 3 hour drive) for a one night party. Then come back Sunday, rest and go out that night. We both took Monday off, so it should be a pretty crazy weekend.

since seeing this lady about her diet, she's been going pretty consistently. We have an appointment to talk to the lady about competing. I think she would do great if she could get into competition shape, but I'm not sure she has what it takes to get to that point.

never under estimate the mind of a woman

I think your wife will do really well. All she needs is the right kind of motivation from the people she cares about

and if she decides to go down that road, I'm all for it. As long as it's something she wants and not doing it for any other reason.

I think it would be cool to walk around with a fitness babe on my arm. She's already a hottie, but add a bod that could stop traffic ... ... party nights will never be the same again.

NT -- LOL....You're too too funny hon! Party nights...lol...There isn't a doubt in my mind you'll have your fitness babe on your arm

Jstar -- I'm doing okay. Just had no idea Advil had Ephedra in it! I was freaking out earlier cause I didn't know what was making feel funny and where the heck all this energy came from. Thought I was having a reaction to my Cenestin....What a goop I was...........how are you doing today?

Atherjen -- It's def hard to listen to yourself say these things. But in the end, I know it's all good. Patients is of virtue.......Did I spell that right? hee hee. How are you today hon?

Atherjen -- You have that right!!! Always easy to spit out what you should do or what someone else should do, yet in a way, we're all hypocrits..to put it mildly.......We're better than the avg dieter though...that's for sure When I say we're better than the avg dieter, I mean, people - as whole in fitness (not just you and I) who have been dieting and know what's right and wrong...yada yada yada.......are far more apt to stick with dieting vs the people who are just starting out.........or.....possibly competing. We've been through MANY hoops, so we now understand how to get through the tuff dieting hardships we experience with our bodies. Many people hit a plateu, and quit because they think things are never going to change for them. The never change up their diet or change their way of life.......Okay...I'm ranting on and on........Must be the meds

How are you doing today?

Stacey -- You're too kind hon. Checking up on me..... How are you feeling today? Better?

Dilly Jilly!!!!!!! -- Hon, I know it's what's on the inside that counts. Try preaching that to society. Today, women are judged A LOT by our looks and how slim and fit we are. When you're absolutely correct, it's what's inside that REALLY counts. But, is over looked! LOL...My outer strength is forcing me to believe in my inner strength........hee hee hee.......

How goes it hon?


Today, I'm TIRED!!!!...Still cannot sleep at night. If I do sleep, it's only for like, 15 min. at a time...then I'm BACK UP WITH HOT FLASHES....yuk!

I'm confused now!!!!

I don't feel I'm at peace with my decision to have a hysterectomy. My hubby NOW SAYS he thinks we should try to have ONE more child because once this is all done, there's no turning back. Part of me really REALLY wants to have another baby, while another part of me wants the hysterectomy because what if, after I have the baby something happens to where I'm put on bedrest (it's happened with both of my kids) I end up losing my job.........then I won't be able to have the hysterectomy after the baby because I won't have insurance......................People around here (where I work) are really really tough on attendance. Sick days are still frowned upon here. I'm amazed people aren't ranting about me taking monthly visits to my dr to take care of me......

I'm soooo torn..........I DON'T want to adopt. Too many heart strings involved with that decision. We have friends who adopt and MANY times the parents come back for their babies.....It's def. bitter sweet.

I just wonder.......If I do try to have just one more, will I be okay through out the pregnancy and will I have another girl? I REALLY want to have a baby boy to help carry on the family name. I'm an ONLY child.

What to do..........what to do

Time to do some soul searching to find the answer. Look at all your optitions before deciding what you'll do.

Wow ... that is a heavy heavy question/thought for a Friday. The only decision I have to make is whether to drink beer or gin.

Babs ... I think you're really going to have to do some soul searching to get the answer to that question. I do not envy you at all having to deal with that situation. I think that if you think about it, talk to your hubby, you'll come up with the answer you're looking for.

There may not be a correct decision. Just one that works...

I know. He just hit me with it last night......

We're both confused. He wants one more but what's holding him back from sayin YES, LETS HAVE ONE HON.....head up stairs - is he doesn't want to see me in pain anymore.

I had my mind made up of not having another child after my hubby said, NO MORE!!!! Just get better So I got use to his decision and delt with it. I thought, "hell, I can't get myself pregnant, guess I have no choice but to say, Okay dear!" Then run off and pout for a while.

I dealt with his decision. But now there's a chance and I'm having mix feelings. Some are a little selfish on my part because I think about stretchmarks and all fat I'll put on, etc...Then I think in the end of it all I'll have a precious little baby.........Then I think about............what about my endo???? What happens next, you know!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Maybe if my dr said, getting pregnant would not be such a good idea, too many complications, etc......I could I make the decision to say, "okay, no more babies.......just stay alive for your two girls that need you!"
