Thank you my bestest friend! Well somehow I screwed up this week as I have been running around with the move and everything that has been going on and haven't reach my caloric target most days and somehow I gained a lb back! I am so mad!. Going to go work out and take my aggression out there. Love you sis!!!

Thanks Bun210. My daughter's ankles are the least of my problems with her actually. She is hanging around some not so great people (not into drugs or anything like that, but they are using her). All her and I seem to do is fight these days. I can't say anything without her going off on me). Then y stepdad is losing it, I think it may be dimencia. This morning out of nowhere, he decided that he won the 200,000,000 lotto. He has been going on and on ever since and made mom and I take him to the store where (supposedly) the clerk was holding for him...The manager said he would look into it and call him back. He is going to go off like crazy when they tell him that it never happened. Besides that and trying to workout and running all over to take my daughter places, I am lucky if I get to eat twice a day. I lost another 2 lbs since Monday. Now down to 246. I know I am not losing it the right way but with all that and we are in the process of moving and not getting any help from anyone at all, I am just going nuts. I am counting on God to get me through all this. I am hurting so bad today (my back and neck and a headache (probably stress and work out but had a nasty fight with my daughter again). Well, enough of me whining. Thank you so much for all the support and encouragement. It really means more than I can say! God bless you!!!

What do you mean, no one to share it with???? :) That is AWESOME! :clap: :clap: Sorry about your daughter and glad she's okay. Just remember you are NEVER alone. You are very special and someone is watching over you all the time!

Thank you twistolomew! I am still plugging along here. I know I should be happy about the weight loss but between problems I am going through with my daughter and moving (practically by ourselves (Tony and I) and he is gone at work all day. I have just been overwhelmed, tired and depressed. I thought we would be further along by now and that we would be getting alot more help from family (funny how they expect you to be there to help them, but....)

I was going to say yay for the 20lbs, but now it's yay for the 22lbs! :thumbu2:
I'm glad to read in your update that your daughter's well, and that you had a belated mother's day finally! See? You do have people, and us! (not that I'm saying we're not people... ;) more like e-people! =D )

Thank you dimplegrin and Kate77! You made me feel alot better! Btw I lost another 2 lbs over the weekend, now I am 248 from 270! My son, his girlfriend and my grandaughter came over today and gave me a belated mother's day card and a beautiful angel for my collection in my curio cabinet of angels. This one has Psalm 23 written on it and that is my favorite psalm as it was my dad's who died when I was 13, so it is very special to me. My daughter is still being kind of standoffish but I am praying she will come around. I pray all is going well for the two of you also!!! Thanks again! I really needed this today!

I'm glad your daughter will be alright.
Keep plugging!

Congratulations on your loss!!!! It is so exciting to reach a goal. I am thrilled for you! I think it is ok to tell your friends that it is a big deal to you and that you need a little more support. But whatever.....everybody here knows how hard it is and salutes you!

by DIMPLEGRIN1

You guys are so great!!! Yhank you so much and bless your sweet hearts! Yesterday was such a bad day for me in so many ways inspite of reaching my goal of 20 lbs. If (God willing) I can continue losing at this rate or even a loittle less at times, I should (please Lord) reach my full goal weight in about a year to a year and a half! All I ask for is the strength, stamina, and courage to keep going to this goal. If I make this goal, I will have gotten back to the weight I was 38 years ago! Acording tto calorie king, my ideal weight should be 115 lbs, but to me that is not realistic. I would be so very happy just to get to 135. God bless you all for giving me the support and encouragement I so desparately needed yesterday!

:wave1: I am so impressed..you are awesome....:clap::clap::clap: 20 pounds gone is terrific.:y:..I am glad your daughter is going to be ok:)...and so are you...:thumbu2:

I'm with Aoconnell... I think it's great that you lost 20 pounds. If it was anywhere as near as hard as it was for me, then I know it must have been a real challange. WAY TO GO!

by PLADY35

Also, I'm glad your daughter is alright. I've been indisposed with my knee for ligament damage and a dislocation so I know it's a challange. Hopefully she'll be back on her feet soon :)

Thank you for the encouragement! I supposedly have all these friends already, it's just that I am always there for all of them but when I need someone, seems like no one is around (like yesterday when I asked for prayer for my daughter after she got ambulanced to the hospital after a bad fall) and got no reaction. Thank heavens nothing was broken but some torn ligaments/tendons and a very bad spraign. You know how sometimes you just feel like you are all alone even when you have tons of people all around you? But enough feeling sorry for myself. Thank you so much for the praise and encouragement, it means more than you could ever know!

by SUNSHINEANGEL54961

Well I think it is INCREDIBLE that you have lost 20 pounds. Way to go. You know everybody at CK is clapping and cheering for you. :clap: :clap: :clap: Is there really nobody? Get out there and make some friends. You need that like you need water, Karla. Make it happen!
