galen how wonderful, your half way mark, your what keep me going, I save all your e-mail and when i feel like I"m never going to make it to goal, I reread they. sunday afternoon I was so hungry but instead of eating junk food, I had cut mix veg, it didn't taste like pizza or potatoe chips, but it fulled up my stomack, my stomack doesn't know the difference what I put in it. but it keep me on track.

I am Happy to report, I am exactly half way to goal.
When I started it seemed like I was looking into the mouth of a monster. On September 16, 2008, I found that I was 263 pounds over weight. It seemed like a lifetime away.
That was only 10 months ago.
As I weighed in today I find that I have managed to make it to my exact half way point.
I have lost -1.5 pounds this week
which is a total of -131.5 pounds lost.
There is no way I am going to take even one step backwards. My future is in the horizon, a light at the end of the tunnel is shinning so bright I need sun glasses.
Thank you Weight Watchers, thank you for my new life. Thank you everyone in this yahoo group, each of you have taken time to cheer me on and it helps. I love each and every one of you. You are my sisters and brothers in this struggle. I pray for you daily.

Thanks, Melissa.
I totally let that slip through. Normally I catch that stuff, but I guess I wasn't quite awake today.
And for the record, Melissa is right. We do have a rule that we don't discuss the specifics of Weight Watchers' program. Sorry for the inconveience, but thanks for understanding.

5. I Just Noticed my Weight Loss!
Posted by: "Faye Ridpath" ispgypsy@gmail.com fayefromtampa

You know how sometimes even though you *know* you lost weight either by the
scales and or the way your once tight clothes now fit nice and loose (some
of my jeans and slacks are so loose now that I have to tug on them to keep
them up) you still don't *see* the loss in the physical sense?
Well here I sit at work and it used to be when I sat at my desk my tummy was
so big that it would actually touch the edge of the desk but I glanced down
just a few minutes ago and noticed that now there must be a couple of inches
between my tummy and the desk. Yay! I am so happy!
And I'm noticing that my once very prominant double chin is also fading.
And I have much more energy. Like it used to be no matter how well I slept,
when working the 3rd shift I could not stay awake for anything (two shifts I
drifted off and my time to answer was at like 281 (every 10 is 60 seconds so
that was not good!) because I was so dead to the world that I didn't hear my
lines ringing. But my last 4 3rd shifts I have stayed awake with no problem,
and even for a little while after I got home again. Which was good cuz then
I sleep later...
Also, my WW meeting is on Wednesday mornings (which is the morning after one
of my 3rd shifts at 8:30am, and my 3rd shift ends at 6am so I just try to
stay awake at least till after the meeting), and it used to be even though
the topics are always great and my team leader is also great and interesting
I would be so fatigued that I would start to drift off... But the last
couple of meetings I have been wide awake. I did try other meetings for
awhile (all lead by the same Wednesday morning person) because of the near
drifting off issues- so I tried later in the day meetings and one I did like
but this one is the best one because it's the only one that is so close to
me! It's only like 5 or 10 minutes away so that's great with gas prices and
today's economy so I'm glad I am staying awake now.
And last but not least, I was getting moody and crabby a lot, but now I have
a lot more patience.
Oh I lied! One more thing, I was starting to make silly mistakes at work
(paging the wrong person, forgetting to dispatch calls, etc.) but I have
been more focused.
I am sure it is all due to the weight loss.
Well, some of that stuff was repititious for some but rather than have to
type it up to everyone I wanted to share this with several times I just got
lazy and typed one message to everyone. So sorry to the ones who already
knew a lot of what I said here.
~~~Faye~~~
