Hello everyone who calls me friend. I am just letting you know that I'm back online with my own computer now.
Here is a quick update of what's goin on with me:
an acquaintance of mine died
I went from 193 lbs to 185 lbs! yay! I've been very faithful to get exercise lately.
I have been visiting different churches and even went back to the one I had problems with years ago.
I've been listening to some wonderful, encouraging cds by a man named Mark Chironna.
My husband and I are back in counseling and it's helping a lot.
My daughter who has N characteristics, seems to be treating me with more tolerance.
My eldest daughter's life was threatened, so she and her fiancee sold their house and are moving in with friends soon.
I'm hoping to visit my spiritual mom soon
I'm planning to get into hair styling one of these days, through a local college

Missed you,Laura. I really did and was wondering how you were. I felt ,inside, that you were OK though. Glad that you are back. Laura.
Glad that your family is doing better and you, also. Love to You, Ami

So glad you're online again.
love,

Hey Laura-life is more tolerant when you drop a few pounds! Sorry to hear of your friends death. So you decided to go to a different church? I have done that before-sometimes I think things can end up poorly in some churches and you are better off finding a new church. Welcome back!
-
wow- great weight loss! You inspired me, I will start dieting again!!!!
I go to lots of different faith places too and my faith has grown and grown this past few years. I think it helps to understand people's mindset and religious frameworks.

ah yes, and I got back just in time for the bruhaha between Leah and Hermes it appears.
It's not worth the effort to get into it anymore, ya know. I think I'll keep watching the red flags and walk the other direction.
Leah, love ya
Hermes, give yourself some time to learn who we are

did you follow a diet? I think it's time I picked another plan....
I've done weightwatchers before, feel like a change though, all the counting got annoying.
I do need a bit more exercise too...

I am still offering my H and my M , as a unbeatable duo, to take away your appetite,permanently(lol)

Hi Write
I have been following an eating plan from eDiets online. It is wonderful in that they calculate everything for you, provide you with menu plans and support systems and remind you to keep track of your weight and measurements, etc.
What I do is, type every food I eat all day, per each meal at a time, into the screen, and it calculates my calories and vitamins, minerals for me. Also, I have begun bellydancing with FitTv on cable, as well as sometimes working out with Gilad also on cable, and walking my 2 dogs.
It's all about weeding out the sugar foods too. After a couple weeks without sugary food, you really do stop craving them. In my view, anything we crave and can't do without, could be labeled legitably an addiction. Even diet pops are made to cause us to crave carbs, believe it or not...I saw a report on it in the news last night!
I'm glad to walk with you through this if you'd like some moral support.
Having Hashimotos to battle has made it a bit tricky for me in the metabolic dept, but I'm DOING it and I feel so good about this! I'd love to have company on the journey for anyone who'd want to maybe start a thread or just keep in touch.
We can claim our minds and bodies back together!

thanks Laura, i'll look it up.
I'm not very good at really structured or complicated eating plans so far!
Things are really busy this past two weeks too- i often lose the plot on eating when they are, don't eat all day, get starving, eat Cheetos....and I don't even like cheetos!
Shall we start a diet-in-action thread???!!!!

Welcome back, Laura.
I am sorry you lost your friend.
I am happy to hear there are many good things in your life now.
Hope to hear more from you soon.
Love, Beth
