Wednesday Chat - September 22nd
 

Good Morning !!!

Nothing like waking up early :dizzy:

Catch you all later, need coffeeeeeeeeeeee :coffee:

Leenie: Enjoy your coffee :)

Well, I managed to stay OP and away from the ice cream. It's pretty nice too! Now I need to continue to work on that. Was getting hungry for chocolate for some reason yesterday. Not time for TOM so not sure what's going on. Didn't give in to it (mainly cuz there's no chocolate in this house. lol) . I have GS for youngest today. And she's getting her picture taken for school today. Can't wait to get them back! I think we're going bowling on Friday. The girls are really looking forward to it.
Hope you all have a great day :)

Oh my. Just read Marie's post from yesterday :rofl: Too funny. Thanks for the laugh and :wave: Marie

Good Morning Leenie and Brenda!

Hello to the the new folks :wave:

I had my first completely on program day yesterday since my surgery (aug 17). So what is that 5 or 6 weeks?? I was forced to because my scale actualy changed my second digit (hit 140)!!! The nerve!!! If it wasn't new, I'd have sworn it was broken. Of course, my signature is a blatant lie at the moment, but at least I magically got that 2nd digit to change back to the 3 I was loving so much!! And now I"m determined to get serious about making goal!

Hello to everyone -

Brenda - How's the finger doing?

Mrs H - How's the ear? and the babe?

I know I missed quite a few of you, but I WILL get better as I get back into the groove of checking and responding every day!!

See you later! :wave:

Lori: Congrats on the OP day and glad surgery is done, over and you're doing better :) The finger is healing (slowly). I should still wear a bandaid on it seeing how it's open but I can't stand that!!! So as long as it doesn't bleed I'll leave it to the air.
Keep up the good work and welcome back :)

Morning.

Leenie: :coffee: Enjoy

Lori: You know what I am going to say.......Don't worry....you can do it again. The weight you gained will be gone in no time. There I said it :D
Glad you doing better after the surgery.

Brenda: Hmmm chocolate cravings? Silly girl...it is all Leenies fault. She brought it up yesterday! ;)

I had a melt down last night and this morning....Just wanted to cry and cry. I am a little stressed and tired. So, when the going gets tough the tough go shopping and that is what I am doing tonight. I need more SIZE MEDIUM tops :cb: Hoping to pick up some pants too. Need clothes for the cooler weather. I threw out everything I had that was big from last year! What a hoot! I've never done that before when dieting. There just must be something about this plan that makes me believe I will never get that big again.

Hope you all have a great day.

I only brought it to your attention b/c you all were pigging out on it :ink: :rofl:

Chocolate, chocolate, chocolate NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;) :s:

DAMN! Now she's done it again :lol3:

Good Morning Ladies!

Well yesterday was a weird day for me, I was OP but on TOM and the first real day of my TOM lately I just have ZERO energy, so I was so tired and had a headache so I just spent the afternoon and evening in bed watching TV. Today I feel fine it is the weirdest thing. So I watched the whole first season of HBO's series Entorage and it was really good!! It is like a boy Sex In The City. Today I have to get to the gym. I was OP yesterday too which was good.

B- OOOOOO I love Bowling!!!

Hi Leenie!

Jane: Yes just go shopping!!! It always makes me feel better. Don't worry about the deal w/ your mom it will all blow over.

Lori: GREAT JOB yesterday! :)

hahahahahahaha Marie!!! Your shout out from yesterday had me cracking UP!!! ahahahaha the scale in the catbox, the poor cats don't wanna know their weight either!!

PS Star Lynn is that your real name??? My best friend's real name is Star Lynn!!! That is so funny to see 2! :D

Hey, everyone!

Welcome to all the new folks!

That Marie sure is a funny girl.

Leenie: Wow! You are up early! You'll need that coffee.

Brenda: Great job at staying OP!

Lori: Welcome back OP! You've done so great, I have no doubt that last bit of weight will come off soon.

Jane: Alright! Shopping! I love your way of dealing with the stress. Hope it makes you feel better.

TG: I have had days that TOM just knocks me out. It sucks. I'm glad you're feeling better today.

Well, this week has been great! OP all the way. I don't know why I ever get off-plan. I feel so good. Maybe someday I'll learn...

I am really looking forward to this weekend. Some girlfriends and I are headed over to Orlando to go to Blizzard Beach, the Disney water park. I can't wait. I live so close to Orlando, but since I've lived here, I haven't been to any of the theme parks. It will be such a fun girls' day out. I think it will be so much fun that I'm not even worried about wearing a swimming suit. (OK. I just realized that sounded funny. I WILL be wearing a swimming suit, I'm just not too worried about how I'll look in it.)

It's been raining the last two days here, so I'm excited to be able to get out today and get a walk/jog in. I need to. I'm still contemplating joining a gym at some point. I just don't want to shell out the cash...

Well, I hope everyone has a great Wednesday!

Take care,
Jina

Morning! ( well, here it is)

I got up at 6 am absolutely certain I would beat the crowd to the chat....however, turning on the monitor after I stumbled into the office blinded me and I fell out of my chair and was forced to scrap the mission.

Leenie: Where was that coffe when I was laying on the floor of the office???? :coffee:

Brenda: Not sure whats going on? the word is it's own explanation "chocolate" ;)

Lori: Heres to many more OP days to come! :)

Jane: today you are my hero- I've got clothes from a size 8 to a size 14 in my closet....didn't there used to be a place here you could trade those things?....if not, we should make one. :bravo:

TG- I don't get them very often, but boy do I love those "in bed watching movies all day" days..... :dizzy:


Jina: Have fun at the water park-I guess the trick is to not even mind if you're NOT wearing a suit ( at least thats my goal) :lol:

Theo'sgirl: Oooohhhh I wish I could stay in bed and just watch old movies. *sigh* Feel better soon.

Jina: That sounds like a fun weekend! You wear that swimsuit and be proud!

Marie: Next time wear sunglasses! Someone mentioned something once a long time ago about a clothes swap......don't know how we would work it. I put mine all in the box by my mothers church. Goes to some group.

Hello Everyone,
This is my official first day of Induction. So far so good. Wouldn't you know it that tonight we have to go out to dinner? I have it all planned, it's a steak and burger place (thank goodness). My husband is doing Induction with me which should make things alittle easier...
Bye for now..

Starlynn: Congrats on your induction day and also cudo's on getting your DH to join you! That'll help for sure! Going out to eat is still one of my problems. I never can order LC. lol

Marie: OMG@ the image of you falling out of your chair while trying to chat with us. Sorry, struck me as funny. You ARE a hoot!! Glad you weren't hurt ;)

Jina: Gotta admit you have more courage than me if you aren't worried about wearing a suit. :lol: I much prefer to wear one--and doubt I'd ever have the guts NOT to wear one (well, except while showering which I do in private!) :devil:

TG: Congrats on staying OP. I Would love to stay home during TOM. It wipes me out also. I don't sleep well and I'm tired all the time. ya know, it's that time of year to make that good old "checkup" and guess I should ask them why.

Leenie: I didn't pig out on it (I won't mention that it was because the rest got left at the in-laws so I COULDN'T :devil: )

Jane: Congrats on the shopping expedition. Sorry to hear you're feeling blue. If you need to talk my IM box is always open :grouphug: I threw out my bigger sized clothes also. When it starts getting colder out I'm going to need new clothes! But I really don't like to shop. I've got ONE pair of dress pants that I think looks good on me (but then again, never had my picture taken while I was wearing them so they might not be looking as good as I would like :( ) and the rest of the clothes I have are jeans (jean shorts and jean pants). And not many of those!


So far so good. I'm OP. DID eat a little for lunch (2 hotdogs and a couple jerky pieces) . For some reason I've got the munchies. That took care of it and I'm no longer hungry OR want anything to eat. Hopefully that means I can eat less for supper :lol:
