Airwick, so sorry this has happened!! Glad that you got out. Can you get a police man or someone to help you get back and grab some of your clothes and things? Is there a time when he is regularly not home that you can get in.
Stay away from him, but if you have a couple of other people with you.....
Congrats on your weight loss, that is quite the loss!!!! I hope you are eating enough to stay healthy and not get sick!

Airwick, you did what you needed to do. I'm sorry you had to go through a beating - no one should ever have that happen. Check in here when you can. You should be able to go back for your things with a police escort - do you have a place for you and you belongings? Very impressive weight loss! I'll send a bright FQ to go with the neutral when you are ready.

Ladies,

Just a reminder that if you sent in for more than one month, you still need to sign up each month on the thread for the new month.


IF you have any questions about it, message me.

I am ready for a 3 day weekend. I will be working on my quilt again so I can finish it.

I have only heard from a few with how much weight you lost in January. At 9 pm CST tonight, I will declare the winner. I know it will not be me as I gained 8 lbs with starting on the insulin again. UGH I will take it back off.


Keep up all your hard work and efforts.

Cindy, I didn't PM about the weight loss because it stayed the same. Guess that's good, somewhat, but sure is maddening that you try and lose nothing. GIve someone else my FQ, er skinny quarter.

I ate about 5 of my chocolate cookies yesterday. I sent the rest of them to my DH shop to get them out of the house. He was plowing snow yesterday. He had 2 young guys working with him. They are gone. Yeah!!! Kathleen I don't see any reason we can't repeat some of the taboo Tuesdays since I know I apparently didn't learn very well the first time.
I found a Weight Watcher meeting on Monday that will work for me. I will stop in MOnday and join. They do have WW at work but it is held at the board office and is 1 1/2 hours after I get off of work. I would have to find something to do during that time and I would probably end up at the mall which could get expensive. I have been trying to WW on my own but something about someone else seeing my weight every week just helps me. Also I follow so much better when I go to the meetings. Not doing very well on my own.
Drink your water, eat your veggies and fruit. Exercise!

This months winners is Airwick156, with a loss of 24 lbs. Congrats to Airwick156. I will be holding on to hers until she gets settled with all she is currently going through.


They are in the envelope with her name on it when she lets me know where to send them to. I have sent her a message to her private email.

Keep her in your prayers.

I hope that I am putting this in the right place.
I am so very excited and thankful for winning the first time that I joined the weight loss adventure. I was so surprised when I was able to check my email and I saw an email from Cindy.

I am going through a very difficult time right now and I beg any or all of you that if you are in ANY type of an abusive relationship that you GET HELP.

My husband suffers from paranoia schitzophrenia and was never abusive to me or if he was I was not aware of it. But then just one day everything manifested and he exploded and took his anger out on me and he hurt me. I called the police and he was arrested but they let him out the next day. But if I were to have stayed in that house I truly feel in my heart that he would have killed me. But I am safe now. Pleaseeeeeeeeeee if your in an abusive situation get help before it is too late. :)

Thank you everyone for the fun I had with the weight challenge. I lost 24 pounds which is the most I have lost in so many years. I am going to try my hardest NOT to put the weight back on and that in itself may be a challenge in the situation that I am in now. But I am going to try my best.
