Don't you love it when...

You're part of a group of people at work doing the "Biggest Winner" (an elementary teacher's version of "Biggest Loser" - her rationale, we don't want to be losers here! -- yeah, she teaches kindergarten) and you discover you've lost 17 pounds in about 7 weeks... without even really realizing it??!!

That's a little concerning. 17 lbs in 7 weeks is too much weight loss in too short of time.

so,so, they say 2lbs a week, and July has lost about 2.5 lbs/week on average. But it varies with people. (not saying Julybride is a large person,lol) but if your a very obese person, and you start working out, eating healthy, initially your going to loose more than 2 lbs a week. One wants to ensure you are eating healthy, and not starving urself. Good work July

I wasn't in anyway trying to take away from Julybride's progress! Please dont' think that Julybride. flames, you brat!

I see a dietician and nutritionist regularly, and if you're dieting and exercising, they're telling me 1 - 1.5 a week is safe. And I'm an obese person. The pictures I've seen of Julybride don't show that she's obese at all, and her comment was "without even realizing it", which might suggest this is a little concerning.

I created a web page about my Great Great Grandfather and then several more pages on my other ancestors that were attached to it.

So yesterday I did a google search on his name and the page came up and I go there and it's still there! It was on my Shaw webspace and of course we cancelled our internet stuff when we left Calgary.

Anyway I am so pleased as with this version of Explorer you can save the webpage and it even puts the images in a separate folder within the folder Just means I don't have to get all the files off of my old computer and sift through the stuff etc etc

That's so sweet Trailmix.

Glad you found your work and history!

Don't you love it when:

Don't you love it when..........you're finally in ONEderland for the first time in about 12 years! YAY! I'm below 200 pounds! I guess all the work is paying off!

Oh....and your SSN comes in so you can finally get a job, and your husband can file taxes.

Ohh.....and you make some gluten free bread which tastes like heaven which is fantastic because you've been craving bread for so long!

Oh yeah...yesterday was a great day!

[SpiritAlight 1]

WOW!!!

You are visiting your fiance in the US and you find out by calling NVC today that your petition was received on Friday and sent to Vancouver on March 30th!!! We also found a church and reception venue that we really like, and now its just waiting on Pkt 3 and the interview date!!

You go to do biometrics and there isn't a single person in line ahead of you.. the guys a bit of a punk who does the fingerprinting but you get in and out in under a few minutes! Painless!

[SapphireDreams 71]

My last day of work in Canada is bumped by 2 weeks!! I originally told my bosses I would stay until June 12th, but decided I needed to leave sooner, so I asked them if I could bump it up to May 29th and they were very understanding!! Now my move is seeming much sooner and real.

I am SO READY to move....

Now how to fit all of my belongings in 4 suitcases, HA.

LOL at the two of you! I've had some weeks where there's been more lost than others. In fact, I've already had a week where there was no weight loss at all. But, I keep plugging away at exercising and eating right. My hope is to get to a nice healthy weight and MAINTAIN!!!!!

BTW, Carla -- I hide it veryyyyyyy well!!!!

I can't wait to head into ONEderland, too!!! That's my goal by the wedding in July. If I'm not there... hopefully I'll be close!

Hubby bought you a dress over a year ago in Singapore and you couldn't squeeze into it.. now after a couple of months of working out you can zip it up and actually can wear it to a wedding on Sat!
