fullfig: So great seeing you around again! Congrats on your continued weight loss success! We miss you (and supersized, too)!!
Lisa: Hope you are having a fantastic day!
Brenda: Hope your day with the witch went better than expected.
Shimma: I hope your sinuses clear up -- I had so much trouble with allergies before I moved here, so I know what you're dealing with -- it's miserable. That's so exciting about the BF, you and the cottage. Hope you have a great time!
Jane: Glad you are excited to get back to this WOE. I know what you mean about dreading getting back onto other plans.
TG: Congrats on the clothes falling off! (That sounds funny...) You're doing such a great job!
Star: Hope you get to feeling better, and I hope you can get some sleep.
andimac8: A very warm welcome to you!
Marie: No worries. I thought the exact same thing! Everyone talks about gaining weight when they quit smoking, so I thought the opposite would be true -- if I started smoking, I would lose weight. I never tried out the theory, thank goodness. I am a very occassional drinking smoker, though.
Trazzie: You are doing so awesome!! 40.5 pounds in three months is incredible!! Way to go!!
I've been at a meeting most of the day. Since I work out of my apartment, it's kind of nice to get out and actually see people. But at the same time, I don't like getting out of my routine and having to dress up.
Oh, something actually exciting for work -- I get to go to Buffalo for a meeting in May, and I get to go to Niagra Falls. I've always wanted to go there, so I'm excited. The meeting is basically a half a day, but they are paying for two and a half days there and scheduled the Niagra Falls tours for us. We get to go on the Maid of the Mist, which was in "Bruce Almighty," one of my favorite movies, so it's kind of cool to do what Jim Carrey did (since I love him so much). I'm probably a pretty sad person...
My dad got me an Atkins cookbook, so I'm anxious to try out some recipes. The spinach and artichoke dip is calling my name.
Well, I hope everyone is having a fabulous Wednesday!
Take care,
Jina

220lbs now weighing 213lbs after a week. I started walking on my treadmill 
today and I'm hoping to lose more per week. What sounds like normal weight loss to you ???
She's such a hoot when she does that. The pumpkin recipe is now in the recipe section. I can't make it too much or I'll become addicted to that also. lol. My DH ate a piece....and then proceeded to mow another piece down. So looks like when I DO make it I'll have to make a double batch. lol. It's still dreary. I had a headache ALL day. I bought a Dt Mt Dew after work and it seems to have taken care of the headache. Weird!!! I'm also not hungry--so not sure what I'm going to do about supper. Probably a small salad. Maybe I'll be able to go w/out dessert (yah right!) lol.
