Thanks to all you great buddies who have sent up prayers for Angela and her daughters.  They are working!  We took the girls to the orthopaedic doctor today.  Brittany’s foot is not broken, there’s a chip in the bone.  So they put her in a brace instead of a cast.  That will make things easier for her and Angela was very happy.  Heather has whiplash and needs to go for xrays of her hip.  It will take awhile for them to heal but it could have been so much worse.  Angela is still having a tough time dealing with all of this.  It’s hard  when your children hurt and the image of seeing their car being thrown in the air is something she can’t forget.  So please keep them in your prayers.  She is my best friend and it is so upsetting to see her hurting so much.  Thank you all!

Thursday Angela’s two daughters were in a car accident.  They were hit by a tracker trailer truck.  Thank God they are alive, but they have many injuries and are in great pain.  Brittany, her youngest, has head injuries and broke her ankle.  She is in so much pain that  her medication is not helping.  Heather injuried her hip and neck.  I was with them all night and it is so upsetting to see them in this condition.  Brittany’s whole body is just shaking from the pain.  Angela’s asked me to let you all know and asked for you to please pray for them.  But I am asking you to pray for her also.  It’s the hardest thing for a mother to see her children hurting so much.  But her also witnessed the accident and saw the car being thrown in the air.  I don’t have to tell what this is doing to her.  So please pray hard for all of them.  Thank you buddies I know you will be there for them.

I will keep you posted,

Debbie

Well guys, Thursaday I got my brace.  Couldn’t wait to get it so I could start exercising.  Not only  can I not excerise, but I can’t walk to go in it either.  It’s like a cast, very hard and my ankle does not give at all.  Today I had so much pain in my back because I’m not  walking balanced.  Well, I guess I should not complain to much because if it doesn’t heal I’ll need surgery.  As long as I keep losing weight its ok, but I need to tighten up the flab so it’s not just hanging.  Any suggestions?

I have been waiting to hit that 40 pounds.  Well, weighed  in today ……..41 pounds.  I guess not cheating on Mother’s Day paid off.  That massage is going to feel so good!!!!!! 

I am very proud of myself and a little shocked.  My son went out and bought all kinds of stuff to make breakfast for me but I just could not cheat.  I had egg beaters with low fat cheese and a whole wheat english muffin.  I did try one piece of bacon, had to.  Then we went to a friends for a bbq and I brought a turkey burger with me and had a little potatoe salad and past up the ice cream cake for dessert.  I was all ready to cheat because it was a special day but couldn’t do it.  I’ve worked so hard and have been waiting for that scale to move again.  Remember one more pound and I go for my massage, so I didn’t want to mess it up.  It felt good to know I had the willpower and to know I could go out and still eat healthy.  Well, thursday I get my brace and could start exercising again hope it helps.  Angela comes home tomorrow from Ohio.  Can’t wait, I really missed her. 

Because I’m waiting for that 1/2 pound to hit 40 what happens I gain 2 pounds.  I know its because I weigh myself everyday and I shouldn’t but can’t help it.  I know it will go but I’m ao close it hurts.  My reward will be getting a massage when it hit 4o, so you see why I can’t wait.  I was given the massage as a gift for Christmas.  I always felt funny about getting one being so fat because all they would be doing was massaging my rolls.  There still there but not as big, now after all this hard work I deserve it.  I’m very excited next week I’m getting my brace for my ankle and I can start exercising again.  Me and Angela are going to start working the track at our local high school, it should be fun doing it together.  We want out for dinner last night before she left for Ohio.  We had a really good time.  Can’t wait for her to come back.  Even though I talk to her about 5 times a day I still miss her.  She’s the best!!!!!! 

I have a half of a pound to go before hitting 40 pounds.  Finally!!! I haven’t been working out because of the torn tendon in my ankle.  Still waiting for the brace to be made.  It should have been ready a week ago.  But the doctor said I should be able to exercise with the brace.  I hope so because I need to tighten up all this flap.  At least the weight is still dropping without the exercise.  Increasing the calories has helped.  OK Angela, you were right and everyone else who told me that.  Thanks guys!!!

Well, something finally worked the scale moved.  2.9 pounds lost for a total of 39 pounds.  I was at a stand still for a month.  I guess increasing the calories did help.  Thanks guys.  Well, Kmart picked the winners yesterday.  Me and Angela were not picked.  It does not make sence how the winners were picked.  There were so many people that lost more the the top winner.  I don’t think they wanted anyone over 200 pounds as a winner.  Oh well, I am a winner.  I lost 36 pounds in 12 weeks and they can’t take that away from me.  I’ve come away with so much from this contest.  They gave us so many great reward gifts.  I feel great about myself and I know now I can go all they way.  And best of all, that’s how I met Angela.  We were from the same store and we were supporting each other online and then found out we lived a few blocks from each other.  We finally met and now we are best of friends and will be for life.  So thank you Kmart for all that you have done for me.  I am a WINNER!!!!!! 

Well I think in starting to figure out how this works. I’m trying. Since the Kmart contest ended I have been trying to get more weight off but it’s  been crazy.  Its been up and down in weight.  I don’t understand why.  I have been dieting and exercising  and its not working.   I am not having up.  I lost 36 pounds in 12 weeks and I know I could keep doing it.  I just need the support.  Don’t forget about me buddies.  

Hello everyone Debbie here still trying to figure things out so please don’t be upset if i dont respond to your e-mails lol. I need Angela to help me. Thanks so much for all the support thus far. Once I figure out the system I’ll be up and ready to go. Thanks again for the warm welcome!!!
