Good Morning All!
I stopped in to catch up with everyone and I can't have this post sitting here all alone with no messages, so it'll just be a quickie from me...

I have already been to the gym, done a couple loads of laundry, showered...now I just have to get dressed and I am going to the grocery store. Later today I am getting a haircut and going to Kohl's and Target... how exciting my day will be! (not) :p

Hubby just got a call from his boss (yes, on Sunday) and had to head in to the office for a little while. :(

Gotta run for now....catch up with you lovely ladies later on!
:)Barb

WOW... I can be such a dufus. :crazy:
I came in here last night... started a new thread and moved Jen's post over here too. woke up this morning... and it was gone. :eek: What the heck!!!
Then I thought... hmmm ... maybe I moved Jen's post to another thread.
I go back and look ... and sure enough ... after starting the new thread I went back to the old to copy Jen's and I reposted it on the old thread. :dizzy: Yep.. Dufus... with a capitol D. :lol: Sorry about that. :o LOL

Soooo here is what I thought I posted last night
------------------------------------------------------

DARN !!! Here it is 3am and I am STILL awake. Grrrrr
The only good thing about it is.... I can be the first to read Jen's post from Germany. LOL
Jen always seems to be the last to post on the old threads... Jen.. you are allowed to start a new thread. ;)
Well... since she didn't... I thought I would start off February with a new thread for a new month and a new beginning for many.
Here is Jens post from the last page of the last thread... it was to good to miss.

The following was written my Jehari/Jen
----------------------------------
FINALLY!! RESULTS!!!
The cycling is paying off!! I think the plateau is over!! I am down 2 pounds this morning!! :cb:

Yesterday went a whole lot better food wise, and I got in 20 minutes on the bike. I was feeling pretty discouraged, but finally seeing the scale budge has me motivated again! After I get done posting, I'm gonna get on that bike! :strong:

Barb: I have my fingers crossed for you girl! That's great news! Best of luck to you both! :D

Thin: How do I get a job like yours?? I'd love to get paid to shop and go to movies!! Sounds awesome!! Sign me up. :D

Kat: WOW!!! 7 pounds!! :eek: That's fantastic!! Good for you!!

A big HELLO to everyone else out there. I'm off to ride the bike now.
Talk at ya later,
Jen :wave:

Okay you guys... this is twice I have come here after HOURS and no one posted. :(
I just edited my popcorn recipe and thought I would let you know in case you copied it.

The Super Bowl does not start for hours still... where is everyone. :?:

[Jehari]

LOL 2Cute!! 2 Funny!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Today has been more or less OK. Calories were right on target until I started munching Chex Mix (it's soooo addictive), but I don't think it put me over by too much. The rest of the day I was super duper busy cleaning the whole house. AND I did 30 minutes on the bike today! WOOHOO

I've got lots of running around to do this week, so hopefully that will help me keep my face out of the trough :ink: . It's much harder when I'm stuck at home all day. I didn't have anywhere to go today and couldn't even take the kids to the park because of the neverending rain here. Well, I'm all kinds of motivated to stick with the bike. Curious to see what next weeks WI will show. Yeah, right!! As if I can wait that long. I'm a total scale junkie. I'll be on that sucker again in the morning even though I KNOW I shouldn't because it can be so counterproductive.

Nothing else new and fabulous to report today. I'll talk at you gals later,
Jen
:wave:

[Jehari]

I was posting too 2Cute!!!

[qsilver]

Hey everyone :)

I am still so exhausted from this last week! I was planning a relaxing day of cleaning a bit, church and then a small family group to wish my niece a happy 5th birthday. My mom decided to call in a few extra relatives for the occasion, so now I'm not feeling so casual and have been working my tail off getting this house into a semblance of shape. Grrr... I love my mom, but she could have asked me first. Besides, they are coming to talk business with one of my brothers, not because of the birthday party. Anyway, I thought I'd take a bit of a break because I'm feeling worn out already, come here to read and do a bit of posting myself. The house isn't going to be that much more clean with this half an hour I'm giving myself.

I am having WI stress. I know my home scale is wacky as all get out, but I can usually get a basic idea to keep me moving along until I can get to the good scale at Curves. Well, my home scale started giving me the big, nasty E the day after I began the newest job. I wasn't too surprised, because I usually show 5-10 lbs. up when I'm seriously stressed. Then TOM came, so I still wasn't stressed. It's all water weight, right? Well, TOM is about done, I've done about everything I can to alleviate the stress, and the hateful scale still is showing me an E!!! (looking for a primal scream emoticon to place here... ) For anyone else to tell me they have gained 5 or more pounds in a week, I'd tell them they've been smoking too much of the funny stuff, but I've had it happen to myself too many times to not know it is possible. Yeah, I've read all the scientific numbers, and all I can say is blah, blah, blah. Sure, it shouldn't happen, but it can. Makes about as much sense as people who say losing weight is a total numbers game. You burn more than you take in and you automatically lose weight. Ok, so that works for people who have less than 50 lbs. to lose, but it is total bunk if you have been dieting since you were a child!

Now, on to what I'm going to do to get this moving along.

I set up DietPower again for myself last night. I'm torn between journaling my foods today or not, because it really does need a true WI number to work correctly. Still, I have a basic idea of my weight, and even if I'm wrong, it will work itself out within a week. Second, I'm going to quit thinking about drinking all my water and kind of getting there, but not really. I'm going to do it. Third, I'm going to stop waiting to start on another food plan until we have enough money to afford low carbing it. There are other weight loss plans out there. Probably about any one of them will work for me at this point as long as I stick with it. Fourth, I've been slacking on exercise because of the rest of my schedule. Today I'm going to get out and walk. Throughout the next week, I'm going to make sure to leave my needs as a priority. One of the most important of those needs is getting out there and exercising. It helps my mental and physical state of being. I need it. I'm a better mother and wife when I'm feeling good. I'm a better me, and that is what really counts. Fifth, I'm going to make rest a priority as well. I have to be honest with myself, and this time of year I'm a bit delicate. I can't do any of the above without enough rest to let my body recuperate from the strains of the day.

2cute was asking if any of us had read the book excerpt in O, Passing for Thin. Well, that was the article I had to force myself to read, and it took two days to build up the courage. Not everything she had to say made me happy, I have to admit. But it was real. And she did it. I not only want to lose weight, I NEED to lose weight. Today is another Day 1.

*HUGS* to all of you. Time to get back to work!

Hey ladies, I'm back again. Just a short post for right now as I have to go make dinner. I was going to post a picture on the picture page, but it says the file is too large. Does anyone know how I can make it smaller? I'll be back later.
Steph

[Grannie39074]

Hello ladies. This is the first time today that I have been on the computer.
Thin: I did not find any bargins at super wally. I did my shopping there today and spent $115.00 but some of that was not food stuff.

I cooked taco soup for dinner tonight I used 1/2 lb. each extra lean ground chuck and 1/2 lb. ground turkey.

I also tried a morninstar farms pizza it was real good dh liked it too.

not much going on. son has gone to a super bowl party. He is going to be able to draw unemployment till he finds a job. :D

I am going to a conference in Natchez MS the 11-15. I will try to take the laptop so I can keep in touch.

Well I better go for now. catch all later.

[katrinabgood]

The heck with the Super Bowl! There's a "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" marathon on Bravo! :cp: Love it!

oops commercial's over...gotta go!

[bobsgal]

Once again I am starting anew. Boy how many times have I said that. But, for some reason, something is different this time. I think I finally have it in me to get this weight off for good. I don't want to be fat anymore. I want to be a healthy mom for my kids. I want to be able to go shopping in a normal store. I don't want to be embarrassed by my size when I pay for my clothes. I want to feel sexy. I can't say any of things are true in my current state, but that is going to change. I know it will be a slow process and I'm okay with that. As long as I know that I'm doing good things for my body, the payoff will be more than just a number on the scale. I have 126 lbs to lose. My first long term goal is to get down to 215 lbs, which is the weight I was at when I got pregnant with my son. That's a loss of 71 lbs. I know I can do this as I know that each and everyone of you can as well. We are in this together and I can't think of a better group of people to go on this journey with. I promise I won't disappear again.
Are you with me?

It's Survivor Night!!!

[MichelleK]

GO PATRIOTS!!!

[Terri in MO]

Hi ladies,

Gosh, I go away for the weekend and no one misses me! :cry:

We had a good weekend with my sister at my step-niece's place. I ended up going on Friday night because all day Friday the weather report was that our area was to get pounded with a winter storm. Up to 15 inches. It was beyond cold. Friday night, we went to a late showing of "Calendar Girls". We were loving it and with about 40 minutes left of the movie, the picture went out. They said it was a bulb in the projector and would take 30 minutes to fix. They gave us a free ticket and the option to wait around to be fixed. We opted to wait. We then decided we wanted something from the concession but it was closed. :censored: At almost midnight, the manager came out to say that it was bigger than a bulb and wouldn't be fixed. Bummer that we didn't get to see the end.

Yesterday, we spent a long time in Wal-mart and Sam's Club. The stores were insane because people were in a panic about the winter storm. It was like people we preparing to be snowed-in for a couple of months. Sheesh. We had lunch at a cool, local pool hall that had the best burgers. We only had one and they were small. We decided to use our free ticket and go see "Something's Got to Give". We loved that. This time we made sure we hit the concession stand before the movie started. Food just wasn't good this weekend.

Today, DH called and said it was time to get on the road because it was starting to sleet. So our winter storm of 15 inches is now nothing but some moisture. It will turn to ice tonight and maybe we'll get a few inches tomorrow.

While I'm glad we didn't get all that snow, it irritates me that the weather/news go so overboard with their reports and send the public into a panic.

To recap the weekend: Food = bad Exercise = none Fun = lots! :D

Tomorrow is a fresh start with both good food and exercise.

I'll try a few replies:

Barb - I am so happy that you have hope for a baby! I'll be praying for you that this works. Looks like you're getting back into the exercise groove.

Thin - Survivor should be really good! I'm excited. Have you been watching any of The Apprentice? Its by the same producer. Its a hoot.

Kat - :bravo: on your loss! We're doing similar to you with the SBD. We're doing 2 weeks phase 1 and 2 weeks phase 2. We're going back to phase 1 starting tomorrow. I love this eating plan.

Jen - Great job on the bike! Can you order from Collage Video? They have videos for stationary bikes. I have cycling through Vermont and Switzerland. I really like them.

Joyce - :bravo: for your loss too! Thanks for the clarification on Fast Track. I certainly did not get that from my leader. I may try that along with SBD this week. Although, I don't see how 20 points can be good for anyone that normally eats 30 points or more.

Duckie - I'm sorry to see that you and your DF are having troubles. Its a very difficult decision you have to make. But with lots of prayer and asking for guidance, God will guide you.

2Cute - Sorry for not being here this weekend to post! I read your post about the "fun" person being held captive. I've always thought of you as such a fun person.

Andria - I'm so glad that you said something to your boss. How was your weekend off?

Amanda - Keep us posted on getting going with Body for Life. Thanks for the info on Ikea.

I better get off here. Hello to everyone else! Here's to a fresh start on Monday morning!

[ageoldie]

I'm here, it's been a lazy day, like most Sundays. After chuch I took a long nap. then got up and went to work for a while before night church. I had some things that had to be done before everyone got in Monday morning.

Speaking of Monday morning I have my screening visit fro the drug study Monday morning at 8:30. I have to go in fasting so they can do all sorts of blood work. After that I don't know what it will be like. I'll let you know tomorrow night. Just pray that I'm healthy and get to take part in the study.

[Syn]

I just lost a post it took me almost an hour to write! :mad:

Barb you and your hubby are in my thoughts and prayers,:crossed: I am just thrilled to hear you have reason to have good hope for a baby!!

We are under a winter storm warning here tonite and into tomorrow. No big deal unless you have to drive out in the country I don't think. although I am ready for Spring.

I lost 9# 2 oz. at my Friday Weigh In...That just shows I journaled and was very OP all last week, my usually pattern is lose good gain a bit back etc...yo yo for sure...although I am about 20 pounds to the good over all it should have been much better by now.

I am still sitting in my house most days except for watching grandkids I don't have much of a life....getting divorced after 38 years was hard enough but necessary, I am glad I left. :cp: But after being in such a controlled environment for so many years my self confidence is just so low...It is up to only me to decide what kind of a future I am going to have. I tell you, I don't feel like a 300 pound old lady on the inside! :crazy: weird how that works....I did turn in a application for a part time job at a hospital as a registrar..I hope I get it...If not I will keep on trying.

Part of my on and off depression is that I feel like such a slug and so bored and although I spend a lot of time writing I don't know what to do with it....Also it is kind of like someone seeing you without your clothes especially if I write about anything more serious...most of my writing is kids stories.....ie: Mary, Harry, & Terri, the peanut people ...the only people that see them are peple who eat certain foods. lol

Thin: I was also invited to a Red Hat luncheon, but I declined because it was on the other side of town and I am to chicken to drive on the W side. But I hope I can go another time. I like the fact that the rule is there are no rules!

To all the others I am wishing each and every one of you an OP week with at least one or two things to put in your gratitude journal each day!

Love to all....

[QueenB]

I don't really know how to say this without it sounding bad....and even thought I could type paragraph after paragraph, I probably will never get what I really want to say across, but I'll try to say it in the best way I know how.

I love you guys and I ALWAYS will, but I'm leaving the site. Probably not forever....but for now. At first, I thought I would just email or PM some of you and let you know because I figured to some it really wouldn't matter anyways, so why make a big post on the board just to upset everybody? :?: But in the end..... I decided it would be best just to come here and be totally open and honest. For those of you that have known me for quite awhile, you know that I am an honest person. I never ever mean to hurt feelings, but sometimes it's hard to understand what a person is truly feeling without hearing the inflection in their voice. Sometimes the point can't come across in just the typed word....but I'll do my best.

After I received the hateful email and I went looking for another support board, I truly missed you guys....but I moved on. I don't spend near as much time as I used to on the internet because I just don't have time. Everytime I come here and don't individually respond or type a big long message, I feel as though I have nothing to contribute, so I usually end up not coming here at all. Yes, I know I don't have to individually reply to everyone. Yes, I know I don't have to type a big long post. But times change and so do people. Right now, the support board that I'm going to is what I need in my life. NO ONE here has done anything wrong and it's not a matter of dropping my old friends for my new ones...it's just a matter of what I feel I can keep up with and I can't keep up with both. I am truly involved with my new board. I am a moderator and am a team leader for a Winter Challenge right now and the board takes a lot of my time and when I come over here, I just feel as though I'm repeating myself and many times have even "copied" a few of my posts from there to paste here.....just to have a post for you guys and you deserve better than that.

So rather than try to juggle both, I'm going to leave here. I may hop in and say hello from time to time, but I don't want you guys looking for me or wondering where I am. I also did not want to just disappear on you, having you wonder where the heck I am. This way....by typing this post, you will know. Before I go though......I do have a few more things to say:

Each one of you, in one way or another has truly touched my life and I will always hold a really special place for each one of you in my heart. It is no secret that I have known some of the people here longer than others and I do have a few things to say just to them. Please, if you are not included in the below, it is not that I don't care for you........I am only leaving a person message for the ones I feel led to.

2cute: YOU, my friend.... are my heart and I will never be far away from you. I have sat on your lap many times and you have rocked my cares away. I have read your posts and had tears rolling down my cheeks, sometimes from laughing so hard and sometimes because you touched me in the core of my soul. Please, do not be mad at me or get your feelings hurt. You have my email and phone # and I will be in touch. I love you.

Thin: Oh my wise and lovely friend......I hope you will not exclude me when you are sending out the cards. How precious it is to me to open the mailbox and see that lovely handwriting from my friend, "Thin." I have every single card you have ever sent me and I look at them often. I have always trusted you to tell me the truth and your honest, love, inspiration and humor is something that I will miss. Please, continue to email me as I will you and know you are never out of my heart.

Kat: My beautiful lovely friend..... everytime I read one of your posts, I see your face from the pictures of you, Barb and Michelle and hear your voice from our conversations. You are such a precious friend. If I ever have truly one regret in life, it will be that I missed meeting you when I was in your area. If I am ever there again, I will not make that mistake. You have a heart of gold and I truly treasure your friendship. I always hope to keep in touch with you.

Michelle: You are such a special friend. I love all the emails you send me and I know somehow, that we will not lose touch with one another. We have a lot in common and maybe one of these days we can get John to leave BLowes and move to Home Depot, you think? You are truly an inspiration to me knowing how you work, take care of Andrew and go to school. There have been times I have been so tired and then I think of you and all you do, and I go another mile. Take care my friend and I'm sure we'll speak soon.

Sandy: My soul sister. Sometimes I feel we are twins separated at birth. We have oh so much in common and I just know if we lived closer we would be inseparable. I can't tell you the times you have said something and it mirrored my thoughts and feelings. Sometimes when I've looked at your picture in your eyes, I've seen myself staring back. I hope you know what a special place you hold in my heart. Please email me and we can keep in touch.

I know there are more that I should probably post to, but at this time, I have posted to all those I felt led to. Once again, just because I didn't post individually to you doesn't mean I don't care about you.

Mary, Lucky, Terri, Barb, Barbg, Joanne, Judy, Pam, Jen, Syn, Steph, Duckie, Amanda, Tracy, Natalie, Andria.....and whoever else I might have missed, I wish you NOTHING but the best in your weight loss journey and I hope and pray you succeed in all you do. I pray that God will bless each and every one of you.

I am very much OP.... dh and I are doing it together and I feel stronger, more in control and happier than I ever have in my life and I'm sure my friends here do have a part in that. Because of you and all the support and friendship you have offered through the years, it has shaped the person I have become and I will never forget that.

I will be by from time to time to check on you and make sure you're not getting into too much trouble without me here.....and maybe one day, I'll post a picture and you won't even recognize me!

Take care and I love you all.

[MichelleK]

PATRIOTS ROCK!!!

Patriots win the superbowl twice in 3 years!!

[bobsgal]

Tina- sorry to hear that you are leaving us, but you need to do what you feel is best for you. I wish you happiness and success and I hope you do pop in from time to time and say hi. We'll miss you.
Steph

[2cute2Bfat]

DARN !!!! I wrote a longggg post (and a darn good one I might add) and LOST IT !!!!

I wish I had time to go back and retype it... but I am too aggrevated to do that. Grrr

Just want to tell Tina.....
I want what is best for YOU sweetie. I am not mad nor hurt. ((HUGS))
I knew long ago you were leaving us. You have not been yourself here for a longggg time. I came to accept it long ago. I will miss you terribly .... but sometimes we need something NEW to stir things up. I wish you the BEST and KNOW you will be successful. I am happy your husband is joining in on your journey. Keep us informed of how everything is going... and how much weight you have lost. :D I will miss you ... but then I have been missing you for quite some time. {{HUGS}}

I LOVE the rest of you too... but like I said.. I am kind of aggrevated with losing that longggggg post I wrote and just plain don't feel like trying again now.

[katrinabgood]

Tina...Although I will miss you terribly, I respect your decision to move on and admire you for sharing your reasons with us. Your honesty has always been one of your most endearing qualities!
Our board will shine a little less brightly with you gone.

Take care, and all the best to you and Ron on your weight loss journey!

[Grannie39074]

Tina: I will miss you (and Tony) please keep in touch

[Grannie39074]

I am down 2 lbs.

[2cute2Bfat]

Well ladies if I ever say I am going to have the baby grandbaby spend the night with me.... SLAP SOME SENSE INTO ME !!!!! :crazy: She is TOO MUCH !!! She kept me up until about 4:30am and even threw up once on me. :eek: WHAT A NIGHT !!!!! :faint:
I FINALLY got her asleep about 4:30 and at 7am the other woke up and came woke up me and the baby.
It was a longgggggggg night... and I think it will be a longggggger day. :dizzy: LOL

Terri.... while laying in bed I remembered how in the long post I lost how I told you how much we did miss you.!!!! {{{ HUGS }}} Some times it is just hard to keep up with those who have posted. :dizzy:
I also remembered that I wanted to tell you I am a "fun" person too.
BUT... I miss out on a LOT of fun being sooooo obese.
I would / could / should be a WILD WOMAN !!!! :lol:

Jen.... STEP AWAY FROM THE SCALE !!! :drill: You are right... it is counterproductive !!! Just keep telling yourself you are doing this bike riding because you love how NOW you are able to do it.
COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS NOT THE POUNDS.

Andira... your post was full of good stuff. But the main thing I agree with is...I'm going to make sure to leave my needs as a priority. One of the most important of those needs is getting out there and exercising. It helps my mental and physical state of being. I need it. I'm a better mother and wife when I'm feeling good. I'm a better me, and that is what really counts

Steph... I wish I could help you downsize a pic but I am clueless. I saw you posted your bio too. I can't wait until I go read it. And I would like to suggest you pick some smaller goals along your way to your 71lbs loss goal. Maybe reaching each 10lbs such as making it into the 50's then 40's then 30's, etc , etc. Of course starting wherever you are... those were just examples. ;)

Baarbg... Good luck on your testing today. :crossed: Remind me again why they have changed their minds about you qualifing now??? I know before they said you were too heavy for a weight loss study which is sooo stupid... but why will they let you do it now??

Syn... you wrote so much I wanted to comment on. First CONGRATULATIONS on your 9lb loss. WAY TO GO !!! Even though you may have yo yoed yourself there... that is still 20lbs gone. :D
I want to wish you luck on your job search. I need to be more productive myself and search out a part time job too. It is hard when I can't walk when I first stand up... but I too think it helps with depression.
You also said you are doing a lot of writing ... but don't know what to do with it.
Find a friend and send it to them. Part of a 12step program is sharing your inner most being with another human being. I know it can be hard to do... but after a while it is very theraputic... and you even look forward to it. LOL
And for your story telling writing... have you tried to get them published??? I would love to read them.
Mary.. congrats on your 2 lbs ....:bravo: Sounds like you have a busy few days ahead of you. I hope you can take a lap top and keep in touch.

Michelle, Kat, and Michelle... hope you each enjoyed your own tv choices. We had quite a variety going on in here last night. LOL

Okay... I have got to get back to the grandbabies. I plunked them down in front of the tv to give me some time here to post. I don't want to push my luck. LOL
Speaking of luck... where are you LUCKY ??? !!!

[bobsgal]

Well today has been a great day so far. I did WATP 1 mile and I plan on going to my mom's to use the treadmill. I am aiming for 20 min, but will be happy with 10-15 if I can't make it to 20. Breakfast was 1/2 a banana, 1 mini bagel w/ small amt of light strawberry cream cheese, and 1 container of light and fit carb control vanilla yogurt. I also bought the flavored water from Walmart, and I have to agree with you all, the white grape is awesome. 2cute- thanks for your concern. I guess I forgot to mention my mini goals. What I meant by the 71 lbs was that it was my first large longterm goal. My first mini goal is 29 lbs which is about 10% of my weight. Thanks for pointing that out. Mary- congrats on the 2 lbs. It seems like you are back on track. Well I think that's everyone so far. Anyone else know how to downsize a pic? Any help is much appreciated. Talk to you all later.
Steph

[chequitagirl]

congrats syn and mary on the losses. you ladies are doing wonderful. i hope that everyone had a great weekend. i am happy to say i was op all weekend food and exercise wise. dh started going to the gym with me friday night and i think that will definately keep me going. hope everyone's monday is going great. more later.

[ageoldie]

Just got back from the screening for the research study. Don't know much, they did a through examanation, ekg, and lots of labs test. It they all come back okay I will meet with the dietatition on the 18th and be given the first months supply of the drug. I was originally told that it would be shots, but today I found out it will be pills that I take 30 minutes before each meal. Shots would have been easier. I'd have remembered to take them, where I have a problem remembering to take pills, especially as I don't know when it's 30 minutes before I'm going to eat!. Oh well. I did find out that there are about 700 people taking part in the study around the country (2Cute you might check with your area hospital's diabetes center) but there will only be 15 accepted into the study from our hospital.

Nothing much else to say, except hang in there everyone, and congrats on the weight loss already this year. I didn't get to go to the health club because of the time of the appointment, but I set the next one to be AFTER exercise!

[SusieH]

Hey ladies:

I have 2 minutes before my meeting, so this will be quick.

Weigh in was great. Down 4.5 pounds. I am so happy. I am now on Day 17!

Tina: Sorry to hear that you are leaving. You will be missed.

Hugs to all.

Susie

[COLOR=MediumTurquoise][B]Hello ladies, sorry to be away over the weekend, but it has been a very emotional one here with the wake and funeral and all. It went as well as a funeral can go, it was very nice and so many people. There must have been at least 200, the Funeral home was at standing room only capasity once all the people were there. Because there is no snow on the ground here they were able to dig the hole and do a graveside service also, that was cold, but knowing that he is with the Lord now and so much better made it okay and worth standing there to give him our final fairwells and to deliver him to god.

Tina: I am sorry you are leaving, and I will truely miss you, you know I will. But I totally respect your honesty and your needing to move on to different things at this point in your life. I wish you and Ron well in your journey together. LOVE YA!!!!

Mary: I was looking at those Morningstar Pizza burgers when I went shopping on Friday. I had a $1.50 off coupon if you bought 2 Morningstar products but I was not sure how they were. Now I will give them a try, thanks.
