Hi all,
This is just a quick note to see how everyone is doing.
Tammy, you have more energy than anyone I know.
Tina, how's the weather?
Sis, hang in there!

It's been an extremely LONG week for me!!!! I'm ready for the weekend.

Happy Friday!!!

Sis, I hope your TOM isn't bad. Do you get crampy?

Tammy, good luck with your announcing. You did good last time so this should be a breeze.

Susan, we didn't get any rain out of Lili. I guess that's good. We sure didn't want the wind that comes with it.

Okay group---I feel Thin today. My stomach feels so much thinner. Now if I could just get the rest of my body to shape up.

Have a great weekend, everyone!!!!
Tina

Hi everyone:

I am from Canada & just recently went up north here on a trip to Agawa Cayon. A whole bus load of people from Texas were on our car & they were called the "Travelling Texas Friends" and were going all over. I thought their accent was really great and my friend & I were quite entertained the entire trip. These were a really nice group of people and we chatted alot with them.

Anyway, hi to all of you from up here.

Howdy,

Well, let's say "Today was not a good day" If it was edible, wellllll I ate it. I probably ate enough points for the month. The only redeeming thing for today is that I exercised. So tomorrow, I'm REALLY watching what I eat.

Welcome to our group Bandit. Glad our fellow Texans entertained ya'll. You have 2 in this group. When I went to Europe 2 summers ago, everyone wanted me to keep talking. This is a great group you've joined.

Tina, glad Lila missed the coast. I was worried about you. Glad you feel skinny. I think that is a big step

Tammy, how was your week besides busy? How was the football game?

Ok, off to relax some.
Susan

Oh my gosh you guys! You would have cracked up last night when I was announcing at the game! The first song the band played was the Michigan fight song. When I announce I am in the press box on the side of the home school. I announce at the away games. Anyway, when I announced that's what they would be playing, the crowd and the people in the press box were booing!!!!!!!!!!!!! I still had the microphone on (oops) and I said "I'm sorry" very meekly, then I got the giggles!!!!

The next song was Ohio State's fight song, so they were happy with that one!

I told the band director that I want body guards the next time!! He asked if I thought I should start receiving hazard pay!!! lol The kids in our band were cracking up.

Later, a football came off the field and was headed right at me!!!! I knew they were out to get me, just because I said Michigan. Oh my!!!

Just found out yesterday that Tim's date for homecoming is one of the queen candidates! We are very excited. She is such a sweetheart!

Need to leave for a cross country meet soon, so I need to go get ready.

By the way Susan, I don't have energy to be doing all this running. It's either stupidity or dedication to that boy that lives here!!! lol

Have a good one!!

Tina, sometimes my TOM is bad but usually only 1 bad day. I'm just to that stage where it doesn't know what it wants to do. Sometimes REALLY heavy sometimes (this month) almost nothing, ya know? I weighed myself this morning and my scale shows a 3 lb loss??? It's been moved, but I calibrated it by getting on and off 3 times and it still said a 3 lb loss. I hope it stays till this Thursday! Then I would be within 1 lb of 95 lbs gone. Then on to the 100! Hope you all have a great day....Sis

Good Morning,

Congratulations Sis!! Wow, 95 pounds. That is wonderful. How have you stayed motivated? I'm sure that it will stay off until Thursday!

Tammy, I got a good laugh at your post visualizing what happened! It sounds like everyone else did too. I'm impressed that you do the announcing! I think it sounds like a great idea of having body guards and getting hazard pay. As for as you doing everything...... hmmmm I think it might have something to the dedication of that boy at your house. He is lucky to have such a wonderful mom!! I have this funny feeling that he knows it too!

Well, I'm trying to be good today with my food. It's nice an cool here. I know that it won't stay long so better get out there and enjoy it while I can.

Have a great weekend.
Susan

Hello,
Tammy, it sounds like you had quite a time at the game.

I don't know much, just wanted to say hello.

It's awfully quiet around here. Hmmm....

Tina

I guess the main thing that keeps me motivated now is that I have come so far and I'm soooo not going to go back to where I was. I don't ever want to take bp meds again and if I can help it I don't want to be diabetic again either. Neither one is fun. So I guess that keeps me plodding along even though I'm not moving very fast. Have a great day all....Sis

I have a new motivation----I looked at my naked self in a full length mirror the other day. Boy, that was a "wake-up call."
I've gained in my stomach and thighs and am not a happy person.

I've been walking every day for 5 days now. I'm not journalling and must start back doing that. Y'all give me a push.

Tina

It has been quite here. I've been under the weather for a couple of days. Then it has been the week from h*** I actually didn't think about food all day long because I was so busy.

Tina, I've been eating way too much myself. I'll tell you want I'll give you a push if you give me one.

Susan

Happy Saturday
I hope you all are having a great day. It's a little cooler here. In fact, tomorrow night should be in the high 40's. Brrr...

Susan, Okay, I'll push you and you do the same for me.
How are you feeling? Are you still sick? I hope not.
Tammy, what all are you up to this weekend? How is Bob doing at work?
Sis, I'm glad your TOM isn't too bad. Would you believe, sometimes I miss it!!! No, I'm not too crazy.
Kady----where are you????

We have some new members on the "weigh in" thread. Maybe we can get them over here.

Okay, on Monday I'm going back on program--completely. Wish me luck.

Tina

Last night was the Homecoming football game. Ashley didn't get queen, but the girl that did is also a sweetie and lives a few doors down from us.

Cross country meet this morning. Tim ran his best time ever! He was so excited. This was the last one for the year for the boys. None of them placed high enough to go to regionals.

Tim, Ashley, and the rest of the crew should be eating dinner about now. Then they will be off to the dance, then to Ashley's afterwards. He was a nervous wreck! They were both cute for the pictures.

I forgot last night was the Homecoming game. It's too bad Tim's date didn't win. But, she was up for it and that's great. It sounds like you were as exciting as Tim was tonight.

We had an exciting day NOT-- We filled in some cracks in our little bathroom so I can start painting. I haven't found a border that will fit in that little bathroom. As soon as I find it, then I can decide on a paint color. Larry has been on vacation all this week. Next week we'll be back to normal and I'll have time to go look at the stores.

Hope everone is having a good weekend. Oh, oh, oh, we went to see The Tuxedo and it was pretty good. I recommend it.

Hi,

Boy, it's been chilly here! The cold front blew in last night and it was almost cold here this morning. I know it's not cold in some places but when it's not in the 70's it's cold here!

Well, I went to my first college football game!! It could haven't been a better one.... UT vs OU!!!!! If you aren't from Texas.... that is Texas and Oklahoma. It was great!! the only thing is that Texas didn't win. Oh well, we stillhad a blast!

I'm hoping that this week at work is a much calmer one. Last week was a horrible one!

Tammy, I'm sure that Tim and his date had a blast! How exciting! How was his track meet?

Tina, so how was the movie? Has Larry enjoyed his week off? How is the weather down there? We can do this!!!! I'm starting fresh tomorrow too!!

Ya'll have a good week.
Susan
