Hey everyone,
The guy I was talking about, hasn't given a definite answer when we will be getting together. I don't think he really wants to go and maybe I shouldn't ...getting the hopes up is a bad thing. .. And I have this large tendency to do that. I will call him tomorrow and see if he knows what he is working on Saturday..

On a better note. I have walked everyday so far this week ... cool beans... really getting dedicated. I am back down to a 285.0 this morning...good stuff ...

Pink clouds ...your virgin ears ..eyes lol its not happening .. he isn't interested .. I don't think ..he is just being nice over the phone. Don't I wish I could at least make a new friend. To bike ride with .. well I am going with my parents Tuesday to hike ..so that should be good exersize ..well I might not be able to go although, depends on how much I get done tonight on homework ..wish me the best and getting things done in a timely manner!

and I will go check out your pics ali.smedley...
and Welcome Space .. I just started coming to this thread ...

Thanks for creating this thread guys. I think I will get plenty of support I need right here ..

love ya all
always

Hi pink clouds,

Well, I made it. I have read some of the posts, and it looks like you have gathered a great group together.
Looking forward to getting to know / reacquainted with everyone; as I have not been on here since september, and have never been a prolific contributor...until now, hopefully.

Put me on the shorties list...5'2. I recall one of the ladies said she was 5'1 and hubby 6'1...lol...I can appreciate how that would look. I'm 5'2 and a dear friend is 6'2. We often have a friendly cuddle

, and we look so funny, but cute. Hehehe...occasionally, he will stand on a lower step out on the porch, so we can look each other in the eye...lol...he is still a fraction taller, and I wear heels!

I look forward to posting in here and getting to know you all better, and help support you all through your particular journey's. My journey been a very long one, but I seem to have found what works for me, and know this time, I will succeed. In fact, yesterday, I tried on some clothes which had never fit properly; well now they do. I feel fantastic.

Best wishes to you all.
Elizabeth-Rose

OMG how romantic

{where is the daydreaming emoticon?} I can actually picture it, how adorable!! My shortest boyfriend ever was 6'2 lololol (and you know that is not short at all) I used to wear high heels and still reach him below his neck. Speaking of neck...sheeesh he was a pain in my neck...glad that's over with!!

Thanks for offering your help and support..so sweet!!! I really need it. I ate like a

today! Well not in quantity, I actually didn't very much or very often today, but just the things I ate...sandwich,muffin,sandwich,taco hell, soda. I think I'm really losing focus here. But alas I will try again. Welcome to the thread

so glad you could join us.

Summerbaby where are you......well i guess you can't post everyday. Just wanted to let you know I am thinking of you :-)

Nataliejo!!! I saved you for last on purpose

I know getting hopes up can be a bad thing, but try not to get them down either. Just be cool and let nature take its course. If anything he is being nice, so at least you know he likes your personality. If a guy does not like anything about you (especially your personality), 9.999 times out of 10 he will not simply be nice to you. Maybe once but not on several occasions. Just take things at face value and continue to be yourself. If it works out great, if not, then you will get someone hotter. Its just the way things work sometimes. But try just to be cool about it. Easier said than done I know. But you're a strong woman, anyone who walks for 45 minutes in a blizzard is a champion in my book!

congratulations on the weightloss!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOHooooooooooooo. 285!!! Way to go. I need to follow your example lol. I need to start exercising. I am planning to do more bellydancing (in the house of course), not everyone deserves the privilege to see my belly dance...and believe me, there's a lot of dancing going on.

Have a great tomorrow everyone!! I'll pop in to let you know how I do :-)

Pink clouds thanks so much!!! I have never thought of myself like that so thanks for the compliment

My baby isn't so much of a baby anymore...I don't know if you noticed the one picuture w/the little girl in the red dress...that's her!!! She has gotten so big...I want her to know me as a healthy and not as someone who is going to die young, know what I mean?

nataliejo I know it is hard wondering if someone is into you but sometimes it is better to take a chance and know once and for all than to spend a lot of your time wondering...it is something to consider at least. If not, there aer plenty of more deserving men you there!

Hi pink clouds,
Thanks for the welcome...feeling very comfy here with all these hot ladies and gents! We are pretty wonderful, aren't we??!!
Hehehe, yeah I know how it feels to snuggle under the neck, whilst in heels...mmmm
Pleased you got rid of that pain in your neck...not worth the chiropracter bills!
Sorry you had an attack of the munchies, today. Don't worry about it. Jump back on the wagon (hmmm...this wagon comes equipped with built in seat belts...strap yourself in.)
I hope you have a much better day tomorrow. Know we are all here if you need us. When you go to put something in your mouth you know you will regret later, think of that new outfit you have been eyeing off, or that health issue which will be made easier because you weigh less, or, whatever encourages you to make a healthier choice. I'm not saying you can't have a treat, just not several in the one day.
We will always be here for you, so lean on us.

To you and all the hotties here on this forum...let's show 2008 we mean business!!!

I am so happy today. I went to mum's, and weighed myself, and I am down another 1.1 pounds!!! Woo hoo!!!

Chris Huggett · #82 (**permalink**) January 29th, 2008, 03:13 AM

Newbie here! I've had to convert my weight from Kilos or Stone, as i've noticed everyone is using lbs. Is that an American thing, because i'm from the UK. Anyway, i'm just under 250lbs and just over 6ft, looking and feeling like ****, with some nasty stretch marks on me that look like i've been pregnant! Since i left College (June 06), i've put on about 40lbs. This due to the obvious things, no exercise what so ever, drinking heavily and eating too much (ie when i'm bored). Started to cut down on my portions recently and started going to the gym on Monday. I think my aim is to lose the 40 lbs i put on, and maybe a bit more on top of that, even though i know it's going to be very difficult.

nataliejo · #83 (**permalink**) January 29th, 2008, 08:36 AM

Ok Everyone,
I cancelled Saturday. My mom and I are going to go out to eat. I have decided not to go through with it. I feel I am not ready if something was to happen and I have a distinct feeling he feels pushed into it. So alas ..its off ...

I am not going to join any dating forums or the like..

I am just going to stay single and just work on school, weight, and becoming more independent...

so ... thats where I am ...

Welcome Chris!

love yas

Hey all!!!! I have missed you. I had my daughter home from college all weekend with a nasty case of the flu. Then yesterday was a snow day and my youngest didn't have school. So, all and all, I just didn't get to the computer.

Natalie Jo - I am with you. Work on yourself. The better you feel about YOU, the more of a natural man-magnet you will become. I had a friend tell me once, "the way to attract a happy, healthy confident man is to be a happy, healthy, confident woman!" Great advice, huh?! This guy, if he is worth it, will see YOU for YOU and come around on his own.

Ali - Wait until your baby is taller than you are! or better yet, as my oldest just did........gets engaged! sheeeeesh, when did I get so old?

Chris and Elizabeth - Welcome to the GREATEST bunch on the site! As Ginger (pink) mentioned, hotness attracts. We are smokin!

Hey Pink - I had a tough weekend as well. Didn't eat that bad or that much, but I find that if I eat even semi "normal", I won't lose. I have been holding steady for a good week now. grrrrrrrrrr. The trip to Bonaire became a trip to Aruba now. I have to revisit the finances. I realized that there is spring break 2 weeks before, then my son's wedding this summer, then hopefully a trip to Spain in the fall to visit my daughter on her fall term abroad. Only so many quarters in the jar, you know!

Feeling a bit under the weather today, very worried that I caught the virus my daughter had. oooooooooo she was sick. Staying in today, trying to get some extra sleep. am dying for some "comfort food", but opted for fresh blueberries and LF yogurt. yum.

What a great bunch here. love ya all!

Lori (summer)

Hi summerbaby and nataliejo,
Thank you both for the warm welcome.

My goodness, summerbaby, it is all go at your house! I hope you are not coming down with your daughter's illness. Get plenty of rest, and keep up with the healthy eating.
I too have to revisit my finances...mine are looking a little sad.
I had to laugh when you said

Ali - Wait until your baby is taller than you are!

My son passed me around this time last year...just before he turned 12! I actually stopped growing at 12, so I don't feel too bad; but these days he is a mile taller than me, and growing taller every day!
Hope you feel better soon!

Nataliejo,
I hope you don't mind me wading in; but I agree you should make this time about you. It is amazing how much of a difference a little weightloss and pamperiing can do for your self-esteem. Having said that; anyone worth your attention, will know what a wonderful person you are, regardless of what you look like.
Whatever happens with your friend; I hope ultimately you become truly comfortable with who YOU are.

Best of luck, to you both, ladies.
Elizabeth-Rose

Hey all sorry i haven't been that active here. Welcome to all the new ladies and gents.

I have been busier then i can possibly imagine lately. i started school on the 22nd of january and haven't stopped much since then. not to mention limited on computer time as i don't have my laptop right now its in the shop again.

anyways.. school is going good. i'm doing good as can be on food but exercise needs a step up thats for sure. i am weighing in at 234.2 as of this morning so hopefully i can get back down to 230 if not lower by v-day which is when my other challenge thing ends. well thats my small update oh yeah.. i am officially in a size 24 pants and 18/20's in shirts.. woohoo i haven't been in this small of a size since 2003 when i got preggo with my 3.5 year old son. who is already over half of my height.. so yeah i am going to be looking up at him very soon if he keeps growing the way he is now. haha

ok gotta jet got homework to do. talk to you later

Thanks Ali, Summerbaby, and Elizabeth-Rose...

Thanks for your advice.
I think you all are right!
and Summerbaby thats exactly what I want to be ...a man-magnet lol so someone will find me...instead of me finding them ...

so ..time to help myself, become more independent, finish school and lose weight ...plus make self esteem higher and feel better about myself, which I already am ..

I weighed in at 284.0 this morning .. I am really excited!!
Haven't weighed this in two years... I wasn't able to ride any of the rides at six flags .. I was ashamed last year ... ugh ..but losing is a wonderous feeling ... lol I shall be the victor lol

Elizabeth-Rose · #89 (**permalink**) January 30th, 2008, 01:10 PM

Thanks Nataliejo. Congrats on your loss too!
Isn't it fantastic when you lose the weight and can do something you couldn't do before?

Keep up the great work. Before you know it, the guys will be queuing up around the block, wanting your attention!

Take care
Elizabeth-Rose
