Sorry to hear about the fire. That's one of my biggest fears. I have things I want to save after everyones out and its safe to go back in, in a certain spot JUST in case..lol Im a worry wort.

Glad everyone is safe and you were insured. That's a big relief I'm sure.

You will do fine on your weight while things settle. You've done so well and you're so healthy now that it wont happen.

well i gained a kg (2.2lb) then lost it again.

On a brighter note - insurance saw fit to provide us with a place to stay as long as we need it - also replaced my $60 bench top oven with a $695 convection microwave oven etc etc

Im feeling much happier about it all!

I'm glad to hear things are going a bit better. A fire is never fun--well unless you've got s'mores or something.

mmmm s'mores ....

Wow sounds like you gotcher self A nice microwave I also hit WALMART for the $60-$80 ones lol I am a cheapy but hey it has neem 5 years and it is still going strong lol!
Glasd things are looking up have a gr8 weekend Tammy

PS i HAVE HADA NOT SO NORMAL week matter of fact it has been one of the worse weeks of eating in a LONGG Time and I am having trouble getting it under control any tips you can give me for starting over?I also gained and didn't lose and it was a BADBADBAD gain,Tammy

I'm glad you're getting good insurance help with the fire. Moving out while other people fix things up sounds like a mixed blessing. Nice to get a good clean up but awkward also I guess. Forgetting the pot on the stove is too easy I think. My worst one was the time I thought I would heat wax and wax my "bikini line". As ripping it off again proved to be impossible for me and I then had no idea how else to get it back off my skin, I spent a lot longer in the bathroom than I expected and came back out to a unit with a foot of black smoke hanging from the ceilings throughout and little dustings of black everywhere. I've had a lot of other near misses though. Reading your story makes me suddenly wonder if I have the right type of house insurance, because it's not insured for "accidents", which were described to me as "things like dropping the tv while you're shifting it... etc". I'm sure I'm capable of much worse now I think about it!!

Anyway it's great news that it caused only a flicker in your weight. I hope you're doing well with the ciggies too.

I have been having a great time in the South Island here and the weather's been variable but worth experiencing. I think my beginner's witchery worked. It is much slower to move around than I realized, though we were told that, so had some idea. New Zealand is much bigger if you count going up and down as well as just straight across a map!1 I am still just hoping we might make it to Rotorua, but will definitely not get any further north I'm afraid.

I hope things are back on track for your really soon!!

Rotorua is a nice place. Let me know if you are gonna get there, we may be able to organize something (we go there a LOT because its great for cycling and we have family there)

Yeah everyones had a near miss im sure, i know ive had a few before. Anyway im off cycling - i slept in and missed the usual bunch

Hey- I just looked at your website and you never cease to amaze me. Your progress is really awesome. Definitely an inspiration.
Hope your new gadgets that replace the old ones from the fire are spiffy.

Thanks

Ive had to buckle down on the diet a bit to loose again. Its been a horrid day, from being woken up an hour early, to the van not starting this morning, then my son being sick and having to go doctors etc.

Man i hate mondays :O

on a brighter note ive lost a lb this week (plus the 2lb from last week lol)

Congrats on the pound. I hope tomorrow is a much better day.

yes, grats on that pound!

I'm 5'3 and losing weight for me is going to be really slow this time around. I'm going to be on a 1500 cal diet and that will put me at a 1.5 lb a week or so weight loss. I think that is considered to be good and healthy.

Let me ask you this... What keeps you going? What makes you buckle down?

I'm sorry to hear about the kitchen fire Liz, I'm so glad the flames didn't get any further than that.

woot! today i weighed yet another lb lighter! how do ya like it like that!!!
ive been cutting back on those evening meals a bit only - i was eating too much (in general) and not enough veg/fruit.
cutting back clearly seems to have lost me 2lb in a week!


*does a dance*

Oh and today must tbe the most awake ive been in a week or two, ive only just realized niapage asked me something *hangs head in shame* and i never replied.
Probably a bit late now

I slept well last night though for once - and today we move into the new house until the old one gets fixed.

grrr mumble
knew i shouldnt have touched my work laptop whilst im having a bad run of luck
luckily i have no use for my home computer atm, i took it to work so i have a PC to use.
The new place is nice, though ive only so far slept there and cooked dinner. the rest of my time has been spent clearing out the old house

OMG you go girl!!Almost in the 160's CONGRATS!I have said it before
and I am saying it again,"I am JEALOUS JEALOUS JEALOUS!
