You are absolutely still welcomed! You are the nicest person. I can not see you doing anything ban worthy. I am sorry you were banned and I hope it is resolved.

Thank you for the kind words ... What I posted was basically asking for support in my eyes.. I guess it was misunderstood. I'm glad you think I'm a nice person. I doubt it will be resolved.. If a person is banned w/o even being talked to just sent a message about it , I don't think anything will change now. though I did not threaten anyone, curse at anyone ... so the ban is strange to me. If someone thought I was causing a problem they should have come to me. I don't know if you know... but when someone is writing when they are feeling bad sometimes (at least me maybe) we are not clear enough .. .I was trying to ask for support. I felt alone . These were my feeling.. The fact, that I said I wasn't incl. in the challenge (or something to that affect(O) but I was going ahead and doing what i can for myself I thought was noting a positive. Say To everyone I m not on the spreadsheet but i've not given up trying to get healthy.. just wanted someone to hear me.. Thank you for your kind words. They were appreciated.

I guess what I said was taken differently than how it was meant. Oh well, thank you for being kind. that's just what i needed.

I am sorry your were not able to get the support you needed and received quite to opposite. I will still be hear if you need support. This is a judgment free zone and my message is always open. I am glad you are not ginving up. You can do it!

Thank you. I will keep trying to move forward. Support is important. I did take a short walk yesterday. I will be here for you too. You can always send me a message . How is school? You doing good with your eating?

That's great! I hope it was a nice walk. Only two more weeks of it and I am free for two months. I could not be more excited, lol.

Eating isn't bad at all. I have found that I am very keen on habit so I am finding some healthy foods I like that I can just eat all the time and then I'll change it periodically. I actually don't mind eating the same thing everyday.

I got a new pair of shoes last week and the wonders a new pair of shoes after two years can do. I love them and I have been taking a long walk everyday just to use them, lol.

Hope you are having a great week.

Yeah , On vacation in two weeks. what will you do with your time? Yes, it's great to get a new pair of shoes.. Enjoy them. .Since, you said you are walking in them, are they sneakers? What brand did you get? Enjoy your walks with them.

I just got a new pair of sneakers too. same old same old here :).

Hopefully find a job so I can afford to go to driver's ed. It is not fun being 20 and not able to drive. They are New Balance. sneakers. The are so light. I might even start a couch to 5K instead of starting TurboFire over.

Hope you enjoy your new sneakers, too! What brand did you get?

I usually buy New Balance this time I found a pair of saucauny (sp) they are very light weight These aren't leather. are yours all material. I like those the best in the summer
Good luck with finding a job. My daughter is finishing up for the summer and looking for a job too. What are you studying at the Univ.?

Enjoy your new sneakers they are great.

About that banning? I think people need to just remember that when we all speak in these boxes, it's so easy to misunderstand since we can't see someone's facial expressions, etc. It's so one dimensional, typing in boxes. I do think it would be nice that if someone feels twisted over something, they mention where the problem was?

Thanks for you thoughts on the banning. It still bothers me that I've been banned.

It is difficult to fully understand what people mean sometimes.. We type what we think is very clear (to us) but can easily be misunderstood. especially if it's taken out of context. Oh well, that's the way the cookie crumbles.

thank goodness for spell check I've type more words backwards .. you really wouldn't understand me then LOL.

Trying to stay on track.. this group really helps.

Sorry I have no be present. Finals. I am just happy that they are over and I passed math with a C. I have never been more excited about a C in my life. Since I can't take summer school I have no reasons to not focus on weight loss and getting healthy.

How are you guys doing?

Congratulations on passing The whip. I m on my kindle so things DON t always come out (like your name, it a auto corrects
LOL) doing well here. Most likely gained 2 lbs. We are earring out a lot.

Thanks. Nah, that's okay. I don't even type write and I am using a Desktop.

Glad you're doing well. Sorry you gained two pounds. I know how that feels same here.

I'm Ok with the gain for a 2 week vacation. How are you doing with your weight? I've been off track since I came home.. Oh my gosh. Can't seem to measure or eat right.

I've decided that there are always going to be special occasions where we've been accustomed to letting all of our efforts and good habits slide a bit. So, why not have a plan that stands up to these occasions. I'm eating vegetables and salads twice a day, and having some seafood or other protein in it once a day. I'm feeling really good on the Wahls Paleo Plus. My goal is in remembering that all these special occasions are about the time we spend with others, not by the unhealthy foods. Just giving myself a pep talk and anyone else who needs to hear this too. :)
