Ponytail and Beemer - Hope you had a great day!
I think I got everyone! If I forgot someone I'm sorry!

NEW FOOD - Tried something called tzatziki (sp?) from Trader Joes. It's a cucumber dip. Not too bad.

SNOW - Love to look at it, Hate to drive in it or shovel it. Love snow days, hate the extra laundry of kids playing in the snow!

APRIL - Wearing flipflops on a regular basis. I'm getting a pedicure this weekend so I am ready!

Wow, what a wonderful welcome....thank you everyone.

Food: Ugli fruit
Snow: Love it early on...cross country skiing, makes WI beautiful again, currently....can't melt soon enough, I need sunshine
April: New baby foals, watching DD pole vault in track, gardening, losing more weight!

OMW - You are down another pound!! Woo Hoo I got your message, my first one, thank you. I need to explore how to do that.

Just wanted to pop in and let you all know I will be out of town until Thursday. I'm headed to StateLine (CA/NV) for a little gambling, Moody Blues concert, and shopping at the outlet mall. I will also go in to Vegas to see Paula's sister.

I HATE shopping but I really need a couple golf shirts; I start lessons on Saturday.

I will be packing the cooler and other than one lunch out my meals are planned.

Have a good couple days and I'll chat with you Thursday.

Yay, yay, yay!! I've lost 10 pounds as of today! What a great way to end March!

It sounds as if you have a wonderful trip planned, CruiseCat. Have fun!

Q1. What new food have you tried recently? Did you like it? Hm, I'm sorry to say I haven't tried any new food lately.

Q2. Snow - love it or leave it? Leave it.

Q3. What are you looking forward to in April? More weight loss, sunny spring weather, and my birthday!

Bye, CruiseCAT, I'll miss you!

Jacqui_D: congrats on your 10lbs lost!! That is excellent!! Keep up the awesome work!

jaq Congtats on the 10lbs!!

Bye Cruise!! Have a fun time Shopping!

Ponytail.. my mares aren't due until May.

Haven't stepped on the scale. Just happy it's sunny out.. even if it's only 38 degrees.

Thanks Newleaf and Hotsplashes! I'm excited about it! Woohoo!

CruiseCAT--Have a good trip!
JacquiD--congrats! That's good news.
Newleaf--I see your ticker is moving in the right direction too. Good job!

I am happy today is the last day of March because I am so ready for April. We have rain and very strong winds today. Hopefully that is the spring air blowing its way in!

Lessofmaur - thanks for noticing. I was stuck for 2 weeks! This morning, it even took my eyes awhile to register that there was actually a new number on the scale for a change!

CruiseCat - Have a fun trip. Hope you win a little!
Jacqui and New Leaf - Congrats on the losses! Isn't great to see all of your effort pay off!
HotSplashes - How many horses do you have? I have always loved horses but haven't ridden in about 20 years.
Lessosmaur - Very windy here today too, but luckily no rain. I'm hoping for spring to get here and stay!

I stopped by Kohls after work and found 2 pairs of pants for 6.99 each. Size 16 reg and they actually fit! After my disappointing experience on Saturday, I felt like I won the lottery!

Biggest Loser on tonight, anyone else watching?

CruiseCat - shopping at the outlet mall sounds fun to me
Jac & Newleaf - wonderful weightloss....keep up the good choices and exercise!
HotSplash - next to family, horses are my passion, especially reining horses
Lessofmaur - windy in Wisconsin today too....brrr
OMW - I need to figure out how to watch it on the internet, I will miss it again tonight

Off to obedience class with Hondo the Border Collie. We have two more left after tonight. I am hoping my pedometer goes over 10,000...its 7200 right now. Maybe we will have to jog and heel

Ponytail, what does it mean, reining horses? I had a horse growing up and loved her, but very little interaction with horses as an adult.

Just stopping in to say hello!! Today I weighed in and was actually up a pound but I refuse to move my ticker!!! I am not moving in the right direction!!! Well, Monday I started a 1200 calorie a day challenge and the scale better start moving in the correct direction!! So far not so bad, but it is an adjustment to drop 300 calories a day!!!

Did anyone watch Starr Jones on Oprah. How sad all the ridicule she suffered from everyone because she was ashamed to talk about how much weight she had gained. I'm sure we can all identify with that feeling, yet she was crucified for not telling everyone how she did it. I totally understood what she was saying, if you admit you had the surgery you admit you are out of control with the food. Kind of fits in with our question "who have you told"...only she couldn't really choose not to tell anyone. Never really gave her situation much thought before cause I didn't watch the View, but I have a new appreciation for what it must have been like for her.

Okay, enough of the soapbox...Happy Thursday all!!!

Hey, TSap -- join us over on the April thread! March is behind us!! Sorry to hear you are up; and I agree -- the ticker DOES NOT MOVE for a momentary up blip... I hope today showed some movement!

I don't watch much TV so the whole Starr Jones thing isn't really on my radar. But sounds sad...
