Good morning everybody! Hey, how do you get the links to show up when you start the new chat thread?

Anyway, my internet is crazy slow this morning, so just a quick hello to you all and hope you have a wonderful day!

I had my splurge day yesterday and finally went to my favorite Mexican restaurant for dinner. I'm still smiling. Today, I do my day (or two) of penitence on Phase 1... ;) It was so worth it...

Glad you enjoyed your splurge day.. Hey, you earned it.

Good Morning Everybody!

It is a dreary nasty day here today but a good day none the less. I went to my chiropractor yesterday for the back aches. Boy did she hurt me yesterday but this morning I can feel that it is better allready. She seems to think that splenda is not effecting my back (she is also my IP coach) she thinks it is the size of the DD girls I carry around all day. Maybe when I hit goal I will look into reducing those babies. anyhow, it feels good to feel better.

Have a great day everybody.. and remember..... NO CHEATING :^:

Good Morning All,

Another wet day here, tomorrow is suppose to be a nice day. But all in all Im still 100% OP. I go for my WI tomorrow a day earlier because my coach is not going to be there Thursday so Im hoping all goes well even with TOM hanging out with me this week. Hope everyone has a good day and stay OP!

Morning Sewmam. So glad you enjoyed dinner its the little things in life4 that makes us happy. Enjoy your day.
Morning Cadu,

your pics look wonderful, keep up the good work. So glad your back is feeling better Im sure that was a bad feeling. Have a great day as well.

I had that happen to me too I went back to an older daily thread that was not closed yet and cut and pasted the body from that thread. I saved the body in a document on my PC at home so I would have it next time. I'm at work or I would PM it to you.

Friday I had a friend ask me If I had more hair. I smiled and said no. Once I get a photo up you will see why, I've been balding for years. I told her I did need a hair cut. She went on thinking it was my hair. I smiled again when my wife told her I'd recently lost a lot of weight. I'm still balding but my face is so much thinner. :cheer3::cheer2:

What a great NSV!

Good Morning IPeeps!!!

Feeling good... and focused intently on drinking WATER.


Gearing up for my WI this Sat (,y first Sat WI since changing days)

looking fwd to seeing my work these past 9 days ...

have a great day yall !!!

OP Yall.

Good morning everyone. It is indeed a beautiful day here in Panama City, FL (even though I had to go to work). I have noticed that I have adopted a brand new attitude since I've been on IP. My step is a little livelier, I'm feeling sassy for an old broad :lol:

I am so encouraged by all the progress that has been made by you guys. It is marvelous, truly marvelous. Have a great OP day :sunny:

Smooches!

slip up, now what
 

I have been on maintenance since Friday and was doing great until bedtime lastnight. I ate a whole bunch of peanut butter and honey and now I feel terrible (physically and emotionally) this morning. Should I do a phase 1 day today? I just don't want to slip back into old habits. Really disappointed in myself..

Good morning all. This weeks challenge...I'm off work because I have shingles...in a lot of pain, and I'm home alone and bored....must remember no emotional/bordum eating!!!

Forgive me if there are hugs spelling or word errors here, using my tablet this morning. I copy and paste the words first for the thread, then once those are in go back and right click each link, copy link address, go back to your post and highlight the same spot in your post and click the "insert hyperlink" and paste the link you still have copied. There might be a faster way but that's just what I did.

I would do a day or two of phase 1

Have a great day everyone! It's absolutely beautiful. would love to stay home and work in my garden, but duty calls!
