marie, i am so sorry to hear about your dad. i can only imagine the shock of it. please take care of yourself.

i know what u mean about posting...one wouldn't think posting such personal sadness would come to mind; however, dee is right: this is a safe place with understanding and empathy.

My Dad passed away this morning. Yesterday he was taken to the hospital because he passed out. He woke up shortly after losing consciousness, but my mom insisted on having an ambulance come to get him. They drs determined that the problem was blood clots. They put in a screen to help, but couldn't give him any blood thinners because some of his tumors are bleeders. I got to see him before and after surgery. This morning, DH and I were on our way to go see him again when my Mom called to tell us he was gone. This has been unexpected, and I am not sure how to handle it. I am doing alright, but I am not sure if it has really sunk in yet. I don't even know why I am posting this, but I just need to get it out I guess.

Marie,

I'm so sorry to hear about your Dad, I lost mine last year, too. It does get better, try to concentrate on great memories, they will get you through.

Well my weight is 192.5. I have a 2.2# loss for the past week, but after eating poorly I gained a little over the weekend. I think I ate 2 dozen Cookies this weekend. Thankfully I gave the rest away to get them out of our house. I guess I will try to get back on track. I think that cute doctor flirting with me at my conference last week really threw me for a bigger loop than I thought.

I am still hoping to be below the 190's by this time next week. My 6 month bandiversary is this week. Take care everyone. My prayers are with all of you dealing with hard and very sad times.

See you next week.

Well, I'm convinced that Munchkin was my lucky charm. I have managed to lose -4.8lbs in the last 7 days! That is by far the biggest loss I've had in one week since the week after surgery. I have no idea what's going on but I'm not complaining!!! :laugh:

Marie,

I am so sorry about your news. I agree with what some of the other girls have told you, hold onto your good memories and it will get easier (slowly, but it will)

My thoughts and prayers to you and your family in this sad time <hugs>

Sorry I haven't been posting the last few weeks, between my MIL's cancer diagnosis and all the running around we have had to do, including chemo. Also I went to MI for 15 days...which always plays havoc with my weight... flying gets me so tight I am generally miserable the whole time I am there and eat things that go down easy... like Peanut Butter cups (evil, evil things :thumbup: ) and McDonalds shakes. If no one minds I am going to play catch up with my weights for the challenge.

Lets see.... I managed to gain 5 pounds before the first weigh in, then for he first week I was in MI and unable to weigh in. When I got back I had gained another 8 pounds. I am down 7 pounds now so:

week 1 - no results

week 2 +8

week 3 -7

Hoping this is not too confusing.

[mem620 3]

Deb, please put me down for -.5 this week.
