Hey everyone! I have been doing well on the dieting, still around twenty pounds lost, and been exercising so I think I have had some muscle mass added. Getting a new laptop too! I gave Mom my netbook because she needed something small and wanted to get online from home. So I automatically offered it to her, no questions asked, she's done so much for us it was a No Brainer, you know? So we checked out Dell again and they had a killer sale! So I am gonna be getting a 17.3" Inspiron one of the newer ones with an i5 processor and twice the ram I've ever had in a computer! I am stoked. I should have it Monday.
Kiddo and Jack both have done well on the dieting, they are about the same as me at 20 pounds lost. I am really excited that I am under 220. I just worked out this morning on t he total gym and it actually felt good! I hope that things continue along this path. I am really tired of feeling fat and out of shape. So how are all of you doing? I haven't forgotten my NT friends, I just have been busy with kiddo out of school and the netbook being gone, made it harder to get online. Hope you're all doing well.

Been wondering about you. I am so glad you are doing so well dieting. Me well I'm dieting the wrong way its so hot here just not hungry. But working to eat and drink some. But not bad on weight loss I don't think. Have to wait till I get to the doctor for a scale though. Donna |

Dear Pam...
it IS nice to hear from you and all the positive news. i can't seem to lose an ounce. or rather i lose it and put it back on. i.e. i am the same weight after the last round with Zyprexa. SIGH. i just cannot "diet." in the sense that most people mean it. it makes me frantic. and all the stress the past months i've just been eating whatever i want/is available/is convenient/is not inconvenient. so anyway a big Congratulations! from me on that. that was so sweet of you to give your mother your netbook. Dear Mari, WHHOTTT?????? say it isn't so!!! i thought it only started June 21 or 22.... we're only a month into it!!!! that's two left. that's not half over!!! i still have two months worth of light. in winter, i go to work in the dark... and come home in the dark... per se, i like the dark but work seems so all-encompassing then. arriving and leaving when it's still light gives the impression work gives a different impression. things are still going on before and after. like birds, and people walking their dogs, and ... non-worky observable things, different from other pour souls dragging their butts back and forth..... |

Pam lives in Florida where the students often return to school the third week of August. My guess is that Pam's son start school in 30 days (one month) . .. .or maybe less. M. |

Its July 22 here. And I'm in Indiana. And Derrick goes back to
school on I believe August 18th this year. This is honestly later than we have started in years. I'm personally excited that my area has chosen to go at least one week later than usual. Especially since many of my schools had to make up 10 days or so. Some had to go till June 6th I think it was. Its really odd for my area to go till June 1st. Pam, I wanted to tell you that I have had some luck with growth of my nails. Not much, but I'm really excited with what I've got. I have been using something for nails, hair and skin. Its something that I'm hoping will work better for me than biotin. In my area biotin, cost as much as this. Donna |

Oh Pam, how exciting to lose the weight, I just was so motivated this year. Unfortunalty with the stress of the long, long litigation, and work I lost very little. Partly because by the time I was weighed at the doctors, I had put on another 20 lbs, filled with water, BP was up and kidney screwy putting protein in my urine.
I need to go for another blood work to see if the water pills helped. My cortizol is not well from the stress.... But, how do you rid oneself of stress? I try to redue what I have at work, but that just means not completing assignments in one day, I use a second day to finish the photos or reports. But, I have hope after reading your report. CONGRAT"s di

I am so happy to report that my computer gets here tomorrow! I am so excited! Kiddo goes back to school in a couple of weeks. He got out in May though, late May. But we've been doing a lot with him. I am happy to say that we're working hard on this diet and I have worked out like 3 times this week! I am pleased because staying motivated is so DARN hard! I don't go for more then 15 minutes at this point while Jack is working out almost daily still for 45 minutes or MORE. If kiddo and I can get under 200 and stay there I will be so thrilled! He and I weigh the same right now. Kinda weird. LOL!
I am so glad to see you all, thanks for posting to me, I haven't forgotten you guys, I have just been real busy with kiddo and summer and all. Big hugs to each of you!
