Cindy, It has been a while since I have written. I have been struggling with family problems, work issues and that does not help with the diet motivation. I did manage to lose 4 more pounds but it has taken a good month. I hope things have been going well with you and you are happy and having success with your goal. Summer is over and it is wet and rainy here and I actually am ready for the change. I dont get out in the yard and burn many calories though. Christmas is soon and that is always a hard time for me. I am feeling better though and hope that that is enough to keep me going throughout the fudge and cookie season. Keep on keeping on and be happy!! Lisa

Time for a funny;
Share and Share Alike

An elderly couple walks into a fast food restaurant. They
order one hamburger, one order of fries, and one drink.

The old man unwraps the plain hamburger and carefully cuts
it in half. He places one half in front of his wife. He then
carefully counts out the fries, dividing them into two piles
and neatly placing one pile in front of his wife. He takes a
sip of the drink, his wife takes a sip, and then he sets the
cup down between them. As he begins to eat his few bites of
hamburger, the people around them keep looking over and
whispering, "That poor old couple -- all they can afford is
one meal for the two of them."

As the man begins to eat his fries, a young man comes to the
table. He politely offers to buy another meal for the old
couple. The old man replies that they're just fine --
they're just used to sharing everything.

The surrounding people notice the little old lady hasn't
eaten a bite. She sits there watching her husband eat and
occasionally taking turns sipping the drink.

Again the young man comes over and begs them to let him buy
another meal for them.

This time the old woman says, "No, thank you, we are used to
sharing everything."

As the old man finishes and wipes his face neatly with the
napkin, the young man again comes over to the little old
lady who had yet to eat a single bite of food and asks, "May
I ask what is it you are waiting for?"

The old woman answers, "THE TEETH."

So how has your week been going? I am doing great with the workouts but faltering with my eating a bit. The steady workouts keep me from gaining too much from my eating slips though. I don't know why but working out is easy for me but the being disciplined with the eating part is really hard.
I have a new funny it is a bit long but hilarious;
A man walked into the ladies department of a Macy 's and shyly walked up to the woman behind the counter and said,

"I'd like to buy a bra for my wife."

"What type of bra?" asked the clerk

"Type?" inquires the man, "There's more than one type?"

"Look around" said the saleslady, as she showed a sea of bras in every shape, size, color and material imaginable. "Actually, even with all of this variety, there are really only four types of
bras to choose from."

Relieved, the man asked about the types.

The saleslady replied:

"There are the Catholic, the Salvation Army, the Presbyterian, and the Baptist types. Which one would you prefer?"

Now totally befuddled, the man asked about the differences between them.

The Saleslady responded, "It is all really quite simple. . .

The Catholic type supports the masses;

The Salvation Army type lifts the fallen;

The Presbyterian type keeps them staunch and upright; and

The Baptist type makes mountains out of mole hills."

Have you ever wondered why A, B, C, D, DD, E, F, G, and H are the letters used to define bra sizes? If you have wondered why, but couldn't figure out what the letters stood for, it is about time you became informed!

(A) Almost Boobs...

(B) Barely there...

(C) Can't Complain...

(D) Dang!...

(DD) Double dang!...

(E) Enormous!...

(F) Fake...

(G) Get a Reduction...

(H) Help me, I've fallen and I can't get up!...

They forgot the German bra, Holtzemfromfloppen

(I think I need the first three bras, think they make a multi bra?)

How about a new funny;
OK this one is hilarious;
A Dog‘s Life!
Did you hear about the man who bought had a dog with no legs? He called it cigarette. He used to take it out for a drag.

Missing Missionary and Sick Cannibal
Did you hear about the cannibal who got sick after eating the missionary? He boiled him and he was a friar!

Time for a new funny;
An old man walked out onto a frozen lake on a bitter cold winter day. He drilled a hole in the ice, sat on his bucket, put his fishing line in the water and eagerly waited for a fish to bite.

He was there for almost five hours without even a nibble when a young boy walked out, drilled a hole in the ice and sat on his bucket not far from the old man. It only took about one minute and BAM! A huge walleye bit his hook and the boy pulled in the fish.

The old man couldn't believe it and figured it was just luck. Yet, the boy put his fish line in again and within just two minutes he pulled in another huge walleye!

This went on and on until finally the old man couldn't stand it any more. He hadn't caught a fish all day. He went to the boy and said, "Boy, I've been here nearly all day without even a nibble. You have been here only a few minutes and have caught TEN huge fish! How do you do it?"

The boy said, "Oo af o rep ra rums rm."

"What," asked the old man?

Again the boy said, "Oo af o rep ra rums rm.”

Freezing and impatient the old man yelled "Look, I can't understand a word you are saying."

So, the boy took off his gloves, spit a clump of stuff into his hands and said, "You have to keep the worms warm!!"

Cindy, How are things going this week? The weather has been crappy here, wet, windy and cool. Last week i complained about the heat, go figure. I lost 10 pounds this week and attribute it to cutting out the wine and being more aware of what I am eating. I really thinkabout wether I am full or not and I get full sooner than I thought, so i stop. At first I always lose pretty well though, water etc. I will have to really buckle down and be careful. With the weather being wet I have been spending a lot of time on the computer. I sell on Ebay, talk to my friends on this site, and surf the net. It doesn't burn the calories though. I guess that is my que to get up and get moving. If nothing else I need to clean house and do the laundry. Let me know how you are doing and have a great day!

Hi Cindy, I'm Linde (rhymes with Cindy)! Nice to meet you! We know how to find you on here, as long as you take the first step and say you want to be found! Thanks for being my friend.

I joined this site in the end of March of this year, and I've never stuck to a weight loss plan as long as I have this time. There are alot of really great motivating people on this site that make it fun and do-able! I've managed to lose over 27 lbs already, and I have 13 more to go until I hit my goal weight. I know you have more to lose than that, but it was just as hard for me to get started with a 40 lb excess staring me in the face. My best advice that I can offer is to pray and ask God for help in all your decisions along with everyday putting one foot in front of the other to make healthy choices. I'm not on weight watchers or anything, but I watch what I eat, I try to tone down the portion sizes, and I exercise 6 days a week. Sometimes the number on the scale from one week to the next looks kind of insignificant, but when you keep plugging away, those half pound and one pound losses add up to some pretty nice numbers. Stay focussed on the reasons you are doing this and chosing not to eat some junk will get easier and easier. Don't get me wrong, we all freak out once in a while and make an unwise decision, but then you just get back on that horse immediatly and start riding in the right direction again.

Sorry to leave such a long post, but I wanted to welcome you with some encouragement. Welcome to the War, now get in the battle! Have a blessed day!
Linde

Cindy, I dont sit at a desk for work but i dont do anything to get my heart rate up or burn many calories. I work on the playground and i run reading and math groups and things like that. And at my school there is always something unhealthy on the staff room table. I also surpervise the breakfast program and any leftovers are free game. It is not healthy foods either. We are pretty low income so I find it hard to buy all the right healthy stuff and find myself buying the sausage and cheap foods that are on sale. I do have a garden though and that is really helping. there is nothing better than a salad with lettuce, tomatoes, radishes and such that i just picked. As far as my game plan....I am cutting out the wine, really being aware of what i am eating and how i am preparing things and i need to figure out the exercise part. I just signed up today with this site and already have 3 friends! I am really excited and I know this is going to be a motivator for me. Thanks for your support and have a great day tomorrow! Lisa

Hey Beautiful. How goes the war today? Mine is a draw and I have been stuck but I am not giving up! I am going to be like a bulldog about this thing. May your Friday be prosperous and joyful!
Funny for the day;
Bedside Manners


Susie's husband had been slipping in and out of a coma for several months. Things looked grim, but she was by his bedside every single day. One day as he slipped back into consciousness, he motioned for her to come close to him. She pulled the chair close to the bed and leaned her ear close to be able to hear him.

"You know" he whispered, his eyes filling with tears, "you have been with me through all the bad times. When I got fired, you stuck right beside me. When my business went under, there you were. When we lost the house, you were there. When I got shot, you stuck with me. When my health started failing, you were still by my side. "And you know what?"

"What, dear?" she asked gently, smiling to herself.

"I think you're bad luck."

I likewise just found this site and hope to get it all figured out. I have a lot of weight to lose also and really need some support. I am a bit older than you and from my experience the road to weight loss only seems to be getting harder as I get older. Not that I had much success in my younger years. I guess as you get older you start to think more about the consequences of carrying all the excess weight and how it affects my health and longevity of life. Tell me a little about yourself and you can read my info I posted to get to know each other a bit. I can be gabby...so if you got anything you want to know...go for it! I look forward to supporting you and being supported. Thanks for being a friend. Lisa
