That kinda stinks! I like all the sigs! Oh, well. We had Mark's work Holiday party light night. It was really boring! They have a ton of fod, so you eat, and we stood around for almost 2 hours for the raffle, and then it's over! We won a label maker. Wa hoo. (((sarcasm!)))
Havn't been to the gym since friday. All 3 of us are sick now. Hopefully we'll be in top condition next week when we leave for AZ!

I'm down five pounds this week and in a new decade. I am too excited.

Tracey, your doing great, keep up the good work.
Mel, just think you can label all your "fat" clothes before you donate them...lol

Evening eveyone!!
Congrats to all the losers this week!!

I also was down 5 pounds this week. Yippee!!
Now if I can average out to 2 or 3 pounds per week, I will be happy.
I did post my Bio yesterday, guess that means I'm a real wannabee now...lol.

Got to go finish cooking!
Be happy girls...deb

I got a great report today!!!! No cancer!!! My polyp was large,ugly & gross but no cancer!! I just have to go every 2 years for a colonscopy because once you get them, you're prone to get more.

Another good note: I started low-carb about 70% last week and I lost 2 lbs!! This week I'm on it 100% so maybe I'll continue to lose and be ready for a nice swimsuit this summer!! That's my goal!!

CONGRATS TO ALL LOOSERS THIS WEEK!!!!!!! Let's keep it going!!!

Oh my - congrats to all you losers! You are putting me to shame ... but, I am starting to eat better .. hopefully next week I will be able to report a loss.

Debbie:
yes, you are definately a real wannabee now! You all are! WTG on the 5 lbs down! Yippee!

Gonna Lose it:
You are not alone on being a slow loser .. I may just have you beat. When I am not watching my diet I do stay about the same, but if I were to be 100% perfect on my eating, I would be extremely lucky to lose 5 lbs in a month time. But they say slow is best.

Mel:
I hope you all are over your sicky sicky before your trip!

Teahoney:
WTG to you too on your 5 lbs gone! Good job. I dont blame you for being excited .. I would be too!

"GonnaLooseit again:
Now that was a good one - labeling the fat clothes before donating them! LOL

I started a weekly food journal thread in case anyone wants to join me .. I need some accountability for what I put in my mouth! I did pretty ok today .. tomorrow I will do even better. Working on that water! I just got out of my hot tub - boy did that ever feel good! We have tons of snow and we are in the middle of the woods - no one around and it is so nice to be in the tub and look at all the snow - course it is very cold out so I have to get in really fast! LOL .... the tub is on our deck and it is not enclosed .. but once you're in it it's heaven! While in it I downed 24 oz of my water - that's a good thing.

Well ... off I go to get into my jammies ... once again - good job all you losers!

Love, CJ

Sherry:
We must have been posting at the same time -- congrats on the good news - NO CANCER!!!!! Also, WTG on the 2 lbs down ... hopefully next week I'll join you in losing.

Love, CJ

can't wait to label those "fat" clothes!! I'm not going shopping untill I'm down anoth 15-20 lbs. Stuff is starting to get a baggy!
M tummy is looking better, not as bulgy . . . firmer. My boobs seem to be getting smaller YAY!!!! But they're starting to sag. (TMI???)
I ran into an old friend I hav't seen in about 4 years and he said I heard you had a baby, wow! You look really good!
That made me feel great!

Hello

Today was day 2 being 100% OP!! My low carb menu today was:
Breakfast:3 boiled eggs, hunk of cheese
Lunch: Two hamburger patties w/ melted cheese,1 boiled egg
Dinner:Bacon & scambled eggs w/cheese
Snack: Pork rinds

I've had 4-12oz. of water so far! Which is great for me since I hate water!!

Debbie...thanks for the kick in the a** to get me back on plan! You're a great friend! We're gonna look too hot in Florida this year!!!!

Allensmom:How do ya'll all feel? I hope you aren't still sick. When do you leave on your trip?

Better get off here and finish dinner..hubby getting hungry!

Well Life Is Full Of Unexpected Events. Im Still Not Following My Diet And Only Excercise I Seem To Do Is Cry. I Took The Girls To A Doctor In Louisville For An Evaluation On There Meds First Visit We Planned To Stay All Day For Appointments. My Oldest Daughter Sylvia Was First To See The Doctor. After The 1st Appt They Called Me In To Talk About Hailey And Ended Up Telling Me That They Thought Sylvia Had A Genetic Disease And Would Like To Have Her See A Genetic Specialist. So They Called One Down And He Did Some Testing And Decided That They Are Pretty Sure That She Has Something Called Morpism Of Some Sort. So Now She Has To Have A Heart Ultrasound Due To It Can Cause Enlarging Of The Aorta And An Eye Exam Because It Also Causes The Lens To Deattach From The Retna And Some Blood Test Ran To See How Bad It Truly Is. So I Was Wondering If Anyone Knows Of A Good Pyschologist Online Because I Sure Dont Have Time To Go See One And Im Sure You Guys Are Getting Tired Of My Whinning By Now. Lol I Always Heard Bad Things Come In 3s Ok This Is # 2 Come On # 3 Im Waiting For Yeah.....

Sherry & CJ- We're feeling a LOT better! Allen had his 1 week check for his ears today, and doc said they're all better. He still has a runny nose, but is in good sprirts!
We leave for AZ on Monday. We fly out of Chicago, so we have to leave at 3am to drive there. YUCK!
I weighed in yesterday, am down 2 more lbs! Yay! That's exciting.
My birthday is on the 20th, while we're in AZ, so I'm having a party this friday. I'm very excited! I havn't had a party in years, it should be fun.

Just a quickie as I am off to bed ... I just got out of the hot tub and I feel soooooo sleepy - didn't sleep well last nite for some reason. I stayed OP 100% today - yippee! But, didn't get all my water in - I'll do better tomorrow!

Mel:
Glad you all are feeling better ... and WTG on the 2 lbs down!

Sherry:
You are doing so great - I better get on the ball eh? I got an email from Sharon this morning - just a quickie in answer to mine - but said she had to run out and would email me later ... later hasn't come yet, but I'm sure it will soon .. lol.

Brandy:
Sorry things are not going well for you and your girls right now .. hope all goes well with the testing, etc. I'm sure that when things calm down you'll get yourself back on your diet.

Well, hope everyone else is doing well ... I guess tomorrow I will get on the scale and see what it says ........

Now to go post on the food journal ... no one wants to join me?

Later...
Love, CJ

CJ....I just joined you on the food journal!!! I got a letter from Sharon too. She'll post tonight or in the a.m.

Gotta run...hello to all!!

Hey guys,
I have to run out now, but will try to post soon. I have just been busy busy busy. But just wanted to quick post and let you know I am still here and doing great, will post a long one soon I promise. I was going to try this morning, but have so much to do for my brother, Jerry, and have been taking him to all his various doctor and other appointments, like Medicare and Medicare and everything else this week. With his COPD, we run alot to either the doctors or the hospital. So I have to run out right now and go to various agencies for him and take some official forms that I had to fill out. There never seems to be time to do anything I swear. I love all you guys. Hi everyone, Hey CJ, I will be back-owe you an email too, Hi Sherry thanks for the posting letting everyone know I am alive and well both of you guys. I wish I could clone me and there were a half dozen of me, that would make things much much easier. Gosh don't we have a whole bunch of great newbies with us. YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA I love each and everyone of you guys, oldsters and newbies too.

Talk to you later, Love, Sharon
