So can everyone give me some input here...

You're supposed to buy your hubby, parents, and bridesmaids gifts.

I got everyone but my parents, flower girl, and ring barer taken care of.


What do I get them?? I'm so lost as to what to get my parents...

Hi Joy,
WE bought our parents these beautiful frames and then let them choose a picture from the wedding proofs to put in it. I think the frames were like 8x10 or the next size up. Really nice silver ones!

For my ring bearer and flower girl I bought a barbie for the girl and for the ring bearer he got a mug life the othr guys but his had lots of candy and fun stuff in it. I think we also got him an action figure.

hope this helps!

I really hate to weigh in this week. I have not kept to my diet. I lost one of my dogs on Monday and it was a total shock. So I haven't been in such a good mood this week and I haven't paid that much attention to my diet. I don't know if I should weigh in and run the risk of having your losses be worse in case I did gain weight, or if I should just skip posting a weigh in this week.

Anyway, I'm gonna go. I just wanted you guy's to know if I don't post my weight it is either because I'm just not totally there since Sandy died and I forgot or I didn't want to add weight to your totals.

Gods blessings and Happy Fourth of July to all of you!

Debbie-- don't worry, we don't count gains in the weight total!

Julie-- I was considering getting my parents a digital photo frame.

Hello guys,
Sounds like some of us are going through some hard times. I am sorry about that and that makes it the hardest to deal with our diets and why weight loss journey is not just physical but also very much mental. I also have been struggling with wanting to eat but mine is like Julie's , being bored. Work is starting up next week and that will help tremendously!
Today is weigh in for me on this thread so loss of 3.5

Thats a good idea too!!! Then you could upload pictures to it for them... wedding pictures, then eventually baby pictures and so on.... i like that idea!

Hi everyone

I hope you're all enjoying your 4th of July weekend.

Debbie - I've maintained and gained over the last 4 weeks. I din't want to post the gain, but putting it on here made meant I had to admit it to myself, and pushed me to get back on track. It happens to all of us at some point.
Julie - Your pictures look great.
Annie, Bette Jo & Rachel - Congrats on your losses
Cathy, Tink, Sandy & April - I hope you're all okay and hanging in there.
Sandy & Dee - thanks for the ongoing support and for keeping me smiling!
Catherine & Joy - Hope you've had a good week
To anyone else i've missed I hope you're all okay.

I weighed in today and i've lost 4lbs this week. Hopefully next week I can hit my first mini-goal.

Maintained here.

Sorry I haven't been on much, my schedule at work keeps changing so it's screwing me up. Luckily on the 14th I start a day schedule Monday through Friday again, thank goodness!

Anyway, I lost one pound this week. Hope you all had a great 4th of July! (I didn't make the 4th of July challenge goal, but at least I'm still trying!)

Happy Saturday!
I weighed in this morning and I am kinda upset. I didn't loose anything. I hope that there is room on the maintain train for me.
I don't understand why I didn't loose weight this week. Don't get me wrong I am happy I didn't gain anything, but with all the walking I have done over the last two weeks I would have thought that I would have lost something. I will just have to try harder next week. I am just worried because I have been trying really hard and nothing seems to be working.

On a side note, my in laws decided to surprise us yesterday and they called and said that they would be at our house at 6pm to take us to dinner. They also wanted to see how our yard was coming along, since we have been working really hard on it. Well when my mother in law got out of their car, she was like oh my gosh Julie you look wonderful. I can't believe how good you look, how much weight have you lost now? That made my day yesterday. They have seen me all along, but usually I am wearing jeans and a T-Shirt. Yesterday I had on shorts and a tank top and you could really tell I had lost the weight. The clothes were actually the right size as opposed to baggy stuff I have been wearing.I hope that comment will Motivate me enough to continue this.

Well I am off to go paint our back porch. I will check back later. Maybe I will even take pictures of my backyard to share with you all. You can see my garden.
