Guest guest Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 Congrat’s – that is great and in less than 8 months. Keep up the good work. I have a ring I haven’t been able to wear since I bought it from a friend. I was going to have it resized bigger, but now am waiting until I get down to its current size. Can’t wait for that to happen. Rhonda From: [mailto: ] On Behalf Of Craig Carothers Sent: Wednesday, October 25, 2006 8:39 AM Subject: Craig hits 100 OK I got to see it this morning. Even if it is only temporarily temporary. -100 I fluctuate within a range of 3 lbs from day to day but this is the very first time I have seen that number J It is even more important to me today because I have been struggling with how slow the loss has been over the last 3 months. I have gone back to exact record keeping to see if I am really doing it right or if I have been kidding myself lately. I think that’s a good idea from time to time. ANYWAY it felt good to finally see that number. Quite a ways to go yet but it gives new hope to the journey. Also, I was a jeweler for 10 years so regarding the re-sizing of rings…….a majority can be re-sized. If there are channel set stones or multi colored stones there can be a problem and some can’t be done. If the ring has great sentimental value, however, all is not lost because the stones can be removed and set into a new setting. This whole process of “remounting” can have a whole exciting life of it’s own celebrating the new you (end of commercial for the jewelry business). In any event you should not resize it until you reach and maintain your goal because with many rings there is a fatigue in constant resizing. There are spacers that can be inserted in the meanwhile. My wedding ring has a full carat of channel set diamonds (hey, I was a jeweler long before I became a computer wrangler!) I lovingly refer to that ring as my “pimp” ring. The second time it fell off and it took an hour to find my wife took it from me and I won’t get it back until things stabilize, probably in a year or so. Regarding NSVs I gotta tell you,,, It wasn’t my “boobs” sticking out past my stomach that made me happy J Too graphic? Live with it. J OK. I’m a little giddy for having seen the new number so I’ll stop before I get in real trouble. Everyone have a great day, I’m gonna.

Guest guest Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 Yeaaaa Craig!!!! Wooooo Wooooo Woooo Great milestone! Congratulations! I know it must be a terrific feeling to meet the century mark. Who would have thought a year ago that you would be here now! I am so happy for you. I know what you mean by slow progress as we get down closer to goal but keep up the positive attitude and I think recording what you eat is a terrific idea as I think we all tend to drift into grazing and snacking on higher calorie foods and just don't realize how many calories we really have eaten in 1 day.

Guest guest Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 //Even if it is only temporarily temporary. -100 / Craig congratulations!!!!! I have been silent for a while because I am having /ATT DSL problems. When I read this, I had to say something. I am so happy for you. I saw your picture the other day and had to go make sure it was you. You look fabulous. I love you NSV. Of course you're a man who doesn't want boobs and I would do anything to still have them :-) 7/18/05 280/180/140 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 Way to go Craig. I can understand your frustration with slow weight loss. I have been lifting weight regularly for the past month or so and am loosing slower. I am looking for the NSV myself KenCraig Carothers <ccarothers@...> wrote: OK I got to see it this morning.
