Weekly Chat April 9 - 15
 

hey gang :wave:

did everybody have a busy Monday? I did! but I wanted to run in here and check the new weekly thread before it got too full. haha the laugh is on me bec there was no weekly thread yet.....so here it is. ;)

What's everybody up to?

later gaters :p

Hi all. I found that I was slightly more motivated today than I have been while out of work. I didn't have an eventfull Easter but I do have a girl friend visiting this weekend so I too will have to clean my house to get ready. Soooo dusty. I hope this energy will be here tomorrow so I can actually make some progress.
I also have weigh-in tomorrow. I've been back on plan the last 2 days. I hope it will begin to counter the 5 lbs I gained in the past 2 weeks. Been eating a lot! But I'm sure some of that was water.

Morning!

I actually skipped recording my weight and measurements yesterday (I always do this on a Monday) because I preferred pretending it was a holiday! LOL! (I did do it today, though!)

I bought a pedometer yesterday, and I am hoping it will keep me charged up and motivated to keep moving!! I never understood why people used them before, so I am hoping to use it regularly - I cant imagine wearing it ALL the time though...

Having lunch with a friend today, and I am actually BRINGING lunch so that I am totally in control!

Hoping to make a drop below 260 (been sitting here a while now) this week... so - must get walking!!

Have a great day, everybody!

Heather :D

Hi Girlies,

Sorry I can't play, I'm so busy at work it isn't funny.

I'm thinking about you all :hug:

HI all
 

Looks like a busy week,Have soccer tonight but I think that I may have pulled my back out.That sucks If I cant play I need to stay active or I will be in trouble.
Went for my weigh in finally............So Leenie it is your turn If I can Do It you can....

I mean heather It is your turn sorry leenie.

Hey gang

Have a good week.....busy......snow.........nothing much new.

Liz

Just got some news: MIL called us, I figured it was something bad if she was calling @ 10 p.m. at night, so I answered DH's cell as he left it in the living room again. (he was in his office) So I didn't want it to go to VM if it was something important, so I answered, seems FIL is really sick, vomiting, etc and she is dizzy so if FIL or both needs to go to the ER, she can't drive, so she wanted to be sure we kept our phone nearby. I said we would, its also a good thing, we work nights, because we will be up all night long, even though this is our night off. So if something happens, we are already up and awake.

I am hoping this is only the flu, but it just makes me nervous because this is how it all started with my step father. (he had liver cancer) And though my fil's situation is different, but its basically the same, renal failure.

So as soon as I got off the phone and told DH and sat down, I started crying :cry: because it brought it all back. Sounds like a big baby I know.

I know its just a matter of time before we have to move in with my in-laws permantly. (we lived with them before for a little while when DH lost his job and At the time they were going through some health issues)

Anyways. I figured it was good to get my feelings out and not keep them inside.

Thanks for listening.

:hug:

((((((((((((((((((sassy))))))))))))))))))))))))

Thanks Liz.

:hug:

I hope you all have a Great Day! :D

:hug: @ Sassy - sorry things are tough right now, and hope it soon looks better than it seems right now.

Debbie - I DID weigh in - and I am happier today than yesterday, as I am FINALLY under 260lbs. (Actually, that's just silly - it hasn't been THAT long, but it FEELS like I have been sitting at 260-262 for a while - LOL!) Thanks for keeping me accountable, though! :D

Feeling great today - have a super day, everyone!!

Heather :)

Hey everyone. I'm posting all over the place, so sorry if I've become annoying, but I really am trying to find a place where I'll fit in. I'm on Effexor and Risperdal for depression/anxiety. I would like to get off these meds because I'm convinced they are contributing to my weight gain or inability to lose weight but my psych doc thinks it's more important that I stay on them. I was wondering if any of you have ever decided to go off meds? I don't want the sky to fall on my head or anything. (I just saw that expression for the first time today and thought it was funny.)

Nice to meet you all! Take care,
-Miette

Hey all.

MIL called early this morning, DH took FIL to the ER, they were all there all day, they did admit his father.

His mom isn't doing well either as she is having dizzy spells and falling over. DH offered to stay with her, as she is now alone, but she wouldn't let him. So the neighbor is checking in with her.

DH went ahead and called off work for tomorrow night, they were real sympathetic, all they wanted to know was if I was going to be in! :mad:

Anywho that is the latest.

TY all for your thoughts and prayers.

:hug:

welcome miette,
Sassy you poor gal.when It rains it pours.hang in there.

Heather:You totally rock:carrot: good job!!!!!!
It is already weigh in time again tomorrow for moi,Lawl has you weigh in 2 times a week.The stress just kills me between weigh ins every time.
Lette: How are u doing ?

Heather how is the podemeter working? I have always wanted to try one of them.

My dog is still stinky............................

Aarg, the computer ate my post, I was typing and it just dissapeared! I guess it was hungry!!

Hi everyone!!

:hug: (((Sassy))) I hope your in laws get feeling better soon and its nothing serious. They sure are blessed to have you and your hubby near by.

Congrats debbie and heather! We sure do put a lot of power into our scales. Right now I'm not liking mine.

Liz, Leenie and Cathy I hope you are getting some time for yourselves in your busy schedules.

Welcome Miette! This is a great place. I haven't been on the prescriptions that you mentioned, but I did try to get off of paxil last summer. I lasted a month before I decided I was better off with it. I tried a lot of herbal/natural remedies before I went to to the doctor.

Tonight hasn't been so great for me as my van decided to die as I got home. I'm grateful that we made it home. Hubby looked underneath and it looks like the plastic nubbins that the fuel line hooks to has a crack in it. Thankfully he's in town tomorrow and will be able to phone and make some arrangements. I'm hoping it won't be an expensive repair. Being broken down on the side of the road is one of the things I obsess about, made it really hard to go out for years (actually I spent quite a few years where I couldn't leave the house unless I was with someone) Anyway sorry for going on, but I feel better putting it down, getting it out of my head and seeing that its really not that big of a deal.

Anyway I hope everyone has a geat evening and Thursday. I'm off to get a cup of tea as I'm freezing (thank you nerves:p )

Take care all,
K

Had therapy this morning. It was a relief to finally talk and talk and talk without worrying about being judged. Also, nice to be encouraged and see the sun. Forgot to take my Effexor so I'm feeling a little funny, but that's easily remedied. Didn't finish breakfast this morning and I was really resisting lunch but had a sandwich anyway.

Thanks everyone for the welcomes... I appreciate it.

Sassy: sorry to hear about your troubles. I hope everyone is healthy again soon and that your life is less stressful.

K. : Yipes, I hate it when our car breaks down. I feel for you. Hopefully it's nothing major and you'll be up and running again soon. I can understand about not wanting to leave the house. I have major anxiety about going away from the house.

Take care all,
-Miette

Hi Girls,

Sorry I've been MIA lately...work has been really hairy and some days I feel like my head's gonna explode with the stress/pressure. I'll survive though :D

Sassy I'm so sorry to hear about your Inlaws...thats so hard. Please know that you all are in my prayers.

Miette, welcome to our little corner of the world. Its nice to see you and I hope you find this little group comforting :hug:

Buddly, don't be sorry, we're here to support you, weather its a good day or a not so good day. For better or worse ya know what I mean ;) Hang in there !!! :hug:

Debbie good luck with your weigh in. When my dog big a skunk, the smell on the outside came off in a week or two but for about a month after that, every time she barked, you smelled skunk LOL :faint:

Liz... :hug: miss ya and pleaseeeeeeeeeeee no snow LOL :lol3:

Cathy love, how's everyone. Ya still going nuts with the pc?

Heather congrats on being under 260 :bravo: Every little pound really counts.

Hope4me ya still with us ?? how's your week going?

Well kiddies, I must run. TTYL

Good morning :wave:

Thanks leenie.

Miette I'm so glad to hear that you are feeling better. The sun sure does help as well.

Wel,l Hubby phoned this morning and the only place we can get the van into is Canadian Tire on Saturday. Everywhere else is booked until next week. I feel a little better now that I have more of an idea of whats happening. Now that I'm stuck at home, at least I have no excuses not to get cleaning especially since the two girls go back to school on monday. Also I have to do laundry as the whole place stinks of gas, because of hubby checking the van. I had to throw his jacket and a shirt outside for the night as the smell was so bad.

I'm off, see what I can do. Wow its 10:40am and all my girls are still in bed. I don't know what they will do next week when they have to get up for the bus. Ahh the life of a teenager;)

Take care everyone and have a great day,
K

I'm still here. My week was O.K. till today. Had to take my dog to the vet today b/c she was panting like she didn't feel well. (6 lb pomeranian-so cute) She actually usually looks like a baby polar bear. Any way her lungs are filled with fluid and she is in an oxygen tent. It could be heart failure or possibly something worse like cancer. Sounds strange, but apparently if it is her heart we can treat her and maybe keep her for another couple of years. If it is something else it may be not be so long. I hope to know later in the day. I just didn't see this coming, and it's hard after having lost my cat Puddy last month.

On to other distracting topics. I was down 3.4lbs at weigh-in Tueday. If you recall I had gained 5 lbs in the 2 weeks prior (eating like a maniac). Well now I have been eating too much since weigh-in. I can't seem to get a grip!:dizzy:

Miette: I envy the therapy. It can really be a great thing. I plan to go back when I find a job and get insurance. Glad it helped. Right now this place has become my therapy.

Sassy: I have been thinking about you and your family's situation. Sorry things are so tough right now. Before my father passed away at 52, he had to spend some time with me b/c I was so close to the transplant hospital he used. I found that that time was a gift and I'm so grateful for it now. If the situation calls for you guys to live with and care for your in-laws, I hope it turns out to be the same for you. Illness is so hard and we will be waiting for updates and wishing you well.

Well, I think I will try to get some cleaning done so that I will be ready for my friend when she gets here tomorrow. Oh yeah, I still need to do my taxes! Yikes! Check in later.

Hope: Your poor dog,my thoughts are with you.

Leenie: woohooo:carrot:

I think we are going to have to start calling ourselve the bad news bunch We have all had a bad couple of weeks.

Hey lets all go out and get drunk lol

Hey all, MIL called, said FIL is worse than he was yesterday, now they are thinking its either C-Dif or Salmonella. A co-worker of mine was nice enough to volunteer to work for me today so I could go to the hospital w/ DH & MIL.

Thanks for all the vibes, prayers, and positive thoughts.

I too will keep all of yours in mine as well.

On another note, I finally took up Puddy's food bowl today and washed it, the other cat has not touched his bowl ever since Puddy passed away. Man who would have thought that doing that would cause me to break down, but it did, sounds silly I guess, but like my MIL told me, it would hit me unexpectly.


:hug:

Gosh it sounds as if things are tough all over - Hope :hug:

Sassy -hang in there!!

Buddly - good luck with the transport!

Chat to y'all tomorrow!

Heather :)

Hey Everybody, Thanks so much for your prayers and vibes.

I also didn't know until MIL told me that FIL had a 103.4 Fever lastnight! Of course she was totally scared to death about that, so she even contacted her minister and they started a prayer chain for him.

Well we went to see FIL today, his fever is gone, he is now 98.8, a big improvement from 103.4!!!!!! I didn't see him on Wed. So I don't know how bad he looked, but he looked pretty good today, still could tell he didn't feel well, but did look better. Even MIL & DH said he looked 100% better. We are all relieved, although the drs want him to stay a few more days. DH is thinking maybe he'll be released possibly Monday, which would work out because we are off and could go and pick him up and all. I mean even if he gets released earlier when we work, DH can still go and get him.

We took MIL to the store since she has been having Dizzy Spells, she doesn't like to drive and we honestly don't want her too, so we took her and she took us out to eat. (I totally stuffed myself--ugh!) But DH had an awesome spring green salad with his meal that was awesome! ;)

FIL wanted some books and his electric razor so DH is gonna run it over on his lunch tomorrow (Friday) so MIL doesn't have to worry about driving or anything like that.

So anywho, that is the latest. They still are not completely sure what exactly it is, they are still testing him.

:hug:

Morning all -

Sassy, it's so difficult when those close to us are ill - and exhausting! Remember to take care of yourself, too! :hug:

Miette - it sounds like you have taken a HUGE step to taking care of yourself, so good for you and a big :hug: at you, too!

Debbie - have a drink for me! (I don't drink at all!) Of course, then it's ONE drink for you AND one drink for me - so make mine vodka with crystal light and it should fit right into your plan! :dizzy:

Leenie - thanks for the kind words; I am at 20lbs lost today, so even though the sun isn't shining, it is in MY head!

Buddly - Good luck getting through till Saturday for the van, and do the laundry with GREAT enthusiasm - you'll maybe burn a few calories! :D

Hope - How's the dog today? Better I hope!! :hug:

Okay all -off to have a moving, shaking day!

Chat soon -
Heather :)

I luckily got to bring my dog home yesterday.:) They think it is heart disease so I will have to give her medicine for the rest of her life. They said that she could possibly live for several more years is she responds to the medicine well. Thanks for the well wishes everybody.

I'm hanging around the house today waiting for my friend to arrive from out of town and trying to do some more cleaning. I used to say that every once in a while you have to have company so that your house will get clean. Have to run unexpectedly, will check back again. Have a great day folks.

heather:I dont drink much either It just sounds like a damn good idea doesnt it.
Hope:I am really hoping that your dog responds to the medicine.

I had my freakin weigh in today I am up 2.5 freakin pounds I dont get it I was good all week and It isnt even my TOM:?:

Sassy:I hope things settle down soon.

everyone else take care

Awww - Debbie :hug: :hug: :hug:

It'll all catch up at once, and won't that be a GREAT day?! :D

Thinking of you!

Hope - keep us updated on the pooch :hug:

Heather :)

Hi Girls,

Hope sorry to hear about your pup...poor little thing, I hope she / he takes well to the medicine. Sorry to hear about the loss of your dad, I understand how you feel though, I lost my dad at the age of 54 from cancer.... way to young for sure. I thank GOD I still have my mom 79 years young and just as crazy as ever LOL.

Debbie, I'd tie one on with you but I don't drink either... LOLOLOL What name shall we call ourselves? The bad news bears LOL ROFL !!!! nahhh because next week will be better ;)

Heather 20 lbs is REALLY good, congratulations !!! Are you following any plan or just winging it?

Sassy, I"m glad FIL is feeling a wee bit better, I'll pray things go well with him and he gets home soon.... its never easy is it. Hang tight.

Buddly how come the kids are home this week? spring break? How's the van, did you get it fixed?

Well kids, I gotta shut this thing off and go watch spongebob with my dd ;) tonight is friend or foe ? ROFL

Luv yah's

Right, just checking in on my way to bed...

Leenie, I guess you could say I am 'winging it', but it doesn't feel that way. I need to be able to LIVE this way, so I am counting calories (I journal EVERYTHING online) and have taken up walking. This week I've been managing 2KM with my new pedometer. I know I cannot 'diet' per se - in the way that I CAN'T have x or y; the fact is, if I want cheesecake, I'll have it... I just don't want it, knowing I can! And certainly not the WHOLE cheesecake, which would not have been unheard of for me. I am making good choices and weighing portions of some things. A LOT more vegetables!!

My husband asked me the other day 'But how do you feel, knowing you can never have pizza again?' and I just stared at him. NOT HAVE PIZZA??? Is he kidding? I just don't have to have it three times a week, or eat a whole large pizza all by myself!!! :D In fact for lunch today, I had 1/4 of a McCains frozen International (yummy!) with salad - he ate the rest.

So - I feel very in control. I started my calories the first week at 2300, to kind of ease in, then dropped to 2100, then 2000. A week at 1800, and now I am settled at 1600. Though, to be honest,in learning portions and what's working for my body (for example, I KNOW I snack less if I eat a piece of toast in the morning... weird.) I rarely go over 1400 or 1500. Later on, as the weight-loss slows, I'll be able to dip a little lower if need be.

But you know what? It's early days!

Chat to ya'll sometime during the busy weekend - take care everybody!

Heather :D

Introduction
 

Hi everyone
I just found this site tonight and thought I would join in. It seems like a good forum and pretty active. My story in a nutshell is this...
Always was fairly thin and then when I was in my mid twenties I gained 90 lbs in 1 yr. for no apparent reason. I was freaking out and went to the Dr. who told me that it was because I was getting older and my metabolism was changing. I wasn't happy with that but trusting soul that I am..I believed him unfortunately. Skip forward a few years to trying to have a baby and having no luck and desparate I began doing my own research and began to think I had PCOS and insulin resistance. My Dr refused to test me if you can believe that since my fasting glucose levels were normal so I forked out the money and had the test done myself and whaddaya know I was insulin resistance (At this point it is safe to say that I don't trust Dr's much LOL) and realized that my big weight gain back in my mid twenties was probably attributed to that. I don't like to take meds so I decided to try to work on it with diet..I followed the plan in the Insulin Resistance Diet book and it worked like a charm..the weight literally fell off and I didn't exercise at all..I was about 20 lbs from my goal weight which gave me the courage and confidence to leave my very abusive husband but after I divorced him I kind of got pretty depressed, i had never lived on my own before and looking back at it now I was scared to death of being responsible for my own life. Well I ended up gaining all the weight back. That was 3 yrs ago and now I am ready to try again. Still following the Insulin Resistance plan but wanting to speed things up I recently tried Cylaris. Took it for 2 weeks and I did lose weight but I started feeling really bad..can't describe it really just not feeling well at all. So I have stopped the Cylaris and am planning on adding more exercise to my routine. RIght now I am dancing for about 1 hr a day..nothing heavy duty but at least it is moving. :) Anyhow I hope I can meet some new people through here and hopefully be encouraged and be an encouragement to others.

welcome
 

Wow Jess,that is a courages story. welcome, you have come to the right place. Look forward to reading more about your new life sucesses.

Hi everyone!:wave:

Not to much new here, I was feeling better earlier, but now...I should just go to bed. Anyway DH jacked up the van and was able to get a good look at things and it turns out that the fuel line had gotten pulled from the fuel pump. He was able to reconnect it so we will be able to drive it to the shop. We'll get them to put a new fuel line on it and that should be it. He has no idea why it came off, but at least with a new one, if there are clips or whatnot it should stay put. Cooked a fairly good dinner, I haven't been cooking to much just recently as when you cook it makes a mess and I just feel to tired to deal with bigger messes than I already have. Anyway I got in the mood and made stuffed pork chops, risotto, steamed asperagus and corn. I've never done stuffed pork chops or risotto before, the risotto was a little sticky, but I have a few ideas that will hopefully make it better next time. Yesterday was neat as after dh got the van running we built a fire in the back yard and had a hot dog roast. It was so nice sitting by the fire in the sun until dh and ddB got into a snowball fight! A stray ball got me!! and since the snow is melting its that crystally sharp stuff, rotten kids:p

Leenie, the girls are on spring break. We had the first two weeks of April off, so its back on Monday. Then we don't get a long weekend until May 21.

Hope: congrats on losing 3.4lbs wow! I hope you pup reacts favorably to its meds. Hope you have a nice visit with your friend.

Debbie: sorry about the scale, its so disheartening when the numbers go up. Maybe you ate something with hidden sodium??

Heather you are doing a great job. I'm having problems being consistant with any plan, I have a tendancy to be all or nothing, I'll figure it out one day.

Jess: Welcome, I look foreward to hearing more from you.

Sassy: I'm so pleased to hear that your FIL is starting to feel better.

And a big Hi :wave: to everyone else!!!

Anyway I'm off and should go to bed.

Take care everyone,
K

Good Morning,

Cathy, hope everything is okay :hug:

Liz, Cin, Judomom, Joanne :wave: hope everything is good with you guys.

Buddly cooking = mess :lol3: thats exactly why I don't like to cook... I have so little time and the last thing I want to do is clean up MORE stuff LOL, its funny to hear you say that b/c thats how I feel too lol. Glad DH got the van going. Snow??? ohhhhh that hurts my eyes... NO SNOW !!!! lol we are expecting an nor easter tomorrow and depending on how it shifts we could get lots of rain or ssssssssnow uhhhhhhhhhhh...

Jess, you sound so positive even with all you've been through. I'm so proud of you for starting over again and taking care of YOU! I agree with you, its really hard to find a good doctor, but they are out there and worth looking for. It took me YEARS before I found mine. I was so sure that the only one that would listen to me was a woman doctor...boy was I wrong. The guy I'm going to now is a gem. Welcome to 3FC's we're glad your here :hug:

Heather, your woe is awesome, and so smart. Its refreshing to see some one doing it the healthy way WTG !!!! My highest weight was over 300 lbs, but when I was in my 20s I decided to watch my calories and lost over 150 lbs. I kept it off for approx 13 years until the death of my sister, then I started gaining it back... anyway not to drag this story down but I believe counting calories is the best way to go.... load those veggies on your plate and never say you "can't" have anything.... BRAVO !!! If I saw something I really wanted, I would say to myself.. hmmm not today, maybe tomorrow and you know, it worked !!!! Good luck to yah !!!

Debbie what in the world are you doing up so late? are you a night owl? ;)

Well kiddies, I gotta run but I'll be back later or tomorrow morning.

HAPPY SATURDAY !!!

whoowhoo
 

Anxiety,I couldnt sleep trying to figure out what the **** I ate to make me gain 2.5 freakin pounds lol

I guess that is something I forgot to tell you guys about myself I am a terrible insomniac.so I decided to do some banking and stuff online.

Funny thing I was a little constipated as well,I am hoping that once that problem gets itself worked out (tehee) maybe the 2.5 pounds will come back off.maybe I am just full of s***LOL

I am going out with mom for lunch it is her b-day we are going out for greek food so I was searching the Lawl thread for stuff that I can eat there.
Maybe we will just invite budley over to cook for us.
I dont cook either,hate it,That is why I am such a cow fast food is way easier.
Keep up the great work gals.we can do this weight loss thing.

leenie
 

By the way leenie,dirty Jerzy........ where in jersey? I have spent some time there working a few years back.I thought it was a nice state.I was meaning to ask you that before.I am thinking of taking my summer holidays near the jersey shores maybe you can give me some helpfull info,like where to avoid where to go that kind of stuff.I had the best seafood of my life at this little fish hut along the beach and I cant remember for the life of me the name of the place.

Thought I would check in while my friend is attending a dinner downtown while she is here. My dog seems to be feeling better. She is still very weak and not eating much, but I did manage to get her to eat some chicken. I think her lungs are clearing with the medicine. I think she is down to 5 lbs.

Sassy-I remember taking up my Puddy's bowl and washing it and it just seemed wrong, like he may still come back so I should leave it. The odd thing was is that we left his litter box much longer. I happened to have changed it right b4 his last dr. visit, so it was clean. I don't know why but it was just comforting to see it when I walked through the door.

With my friend's visit the diet is shot to heck. She also has a weight problem and we always get together and eat like crazy people. It is our entertainment. We have each been able to diet with each other around, but we have to be firmly on track to do it. In fact before we get together we usually ask "are you being good or bad?". If the answer is bad, we are excited. Please tell me that at least some of your friends are eating buddies!:moo:

Jess-Welcome! Congrats on making such important decisions in your life and taking charge. Tell us more b/c I need to take charge more myself. As I've said I've become so unmotivated with everything in my life.

Hey all.

Its a Rainy & Cold dreary day here. Makes you just want to stay in bed. I know i wanted too. lol. But alas work won't do itself!

Thanks all for your kind words, no new news yet. FIL didn't sleep well lastnight so he requested no visitors today.

hope4me - It is hard, we still have the other cat, so at least I didn't have to take everything up, I can see how that would be very difficult. After I washed his bowl, I didn't know where to put it. I put it in the closet on a shelf for now. Its weird what can set you off though. One minute your fine and then you see something or hear something and BAM! Your a mess!

:hug:

Hi Ladies,

Debbie hope you had a good day with Mom. I haven't had greek food in a long time, what did you wind up ordering? .. ummm poop will pack on the pounds, that and if your gassy LOL. I'm guessing its water weight. I am in northern NJ, right near the boarder of New York. If your going down the shore in the summer, IMHO it doesn't matter where you go b/c its packed from memorial day (end of May) until the middle of september... so its a gamble. There's Point Pleasant Beach which is nice, small but nice... and then there's Asbury Park, SeaSide and Wildwood which is a very popular place. I haven't been to the shore in a few years and get this, its only 1 1/2 hrs away from me OY~ Oh and I second having Buddly cook for us ;)

Hope your not alone. I think all my friends and relatives are eating buddies, it seems like thats all anyone wants to do. My one friend at work tells me that the only joy she gets is when she eats, and thats the only thing that makes her truly happy... its sad but I can relate. I hope when she leaves you can jump back on the diet band wagon.

Sassy, it was a beautiful day here today but tomorrow we are expecting to get a nor easter and depending on which way it blows it could be all rain or ssssssnow ick!

Well girlies, I'm off of this thing for the night. It was nice to get to catch up with you all. During the week its a madhouse but I do read your posts.

Have a happy Saturday, whats left ;)

Leenie

Pleasent beach ,Yes I think I was there.Is there a town called pleasentville It is not far from atlantic city right.That is where that little fish shanty was.

BTW I had chicken souflaki and salad with eggplant.Awesome food tons of garlic should help the other problem out.

Had wine though with a side of zambooka or Ozo (sp) what ever you call it packed on my calories there.but didnt have desert. probably about 1000 cals in all but hey it was moms b-day and she enjoyed her lunch.

Sounds like you had a good time :)

I have to hurry b/c we have been losing internet service all day with this nor easter storm... loads of water and huge waves reported in NY.

Well girlies, ttyt.

Cathy love, hope your okay.
