Hi ladies,

RosieKate - the free veggies are always free, no matter how many you eat. But on stuff like sf hot chocolate, etc, you have to count it after 3 servings. (some people say 5) Sorry for not making that clear... I hope you read this tonight so you can eat more points and not go to bed hungry, lol. good luck with WI tomorow.

Angie - yep, I'll mail the package to the resort and write on all sides "hold for (my name) , arriving (date). They will accept the packages up to 3 days before we arrive, which is in October.

Hi to the others!

It has been so hot and humid, with little storms popping up here and there, so I've stayed in all day. I'm getting cabin fever, lol. It was even too muggy to take my coffee on the patio this morning!

BBL,

Hello again ladies-

Just checking in to see what you all have been up to. My computer has been slow today...finally can stay on longer than a few minutes!

Jana--Where did you get that smilie of them kissin on the cheek? It's cute!! Sure wish they could add more to the list they already have! You didn't bore me at all.....I was just teasing. It was fun being able to chat. I can picture us sitting at a cafe drinking coffee....or wine as Angie and I were doing....and just yappin away! I'm sure if we met and actually had that wine...the yapping would get all silly!

Angie--Strawberry/Rhubarb pie?? I love it!! I haven't had any for some time...and my grandma was the only one who made it.....I will have to find her recipe and make myself some.

RosieKate--Weather has been nice!! I'm loving it, and my lawn isn't! But I do like not having to mow as often!!

Well girls..I better get myself going. I've got laundry going for James...needs to get himself packed up for the week.

I'll check back in tonight.

Marti

Hi ladies,

Cristi - I saw you posted on the word thread, where are you? Once again, your new avatar is sweet! What's her name, btw? Anyway, have a good trip and check in if you are able.

Marti - look for a PM from Suzanne. About the kissing smilie, I copied it from another site, lol. It's just too cute, don't you think?

RosieKate - hope you didn't get too hungry after me being so unclear about the points! So sorry about that! How's wi?

Hi to the other JLs out there, and any lurkers, too.

Since Cristi will be gone for an undefined time, and I'm leaving for 2 days myself, I have asked Suzanne to enable Marti as another moderator. Anyone with a prob should PM her, okay?

DD Katie and I will be going to Evansville tomorrow, late morning. I sure wish Cristi and her DD were still coming... you will be missed! But we understand the circumstances. Katie is excited about getting school clothes, and since I couldn't get a refund on the room (a king suite) we are staying over and being lazy, lol.

BBL,

Hey my WI went pretty well. I lost 2 lbs Finally broke through my month long plateau - wahoo!

Feeling pretty good about WW. It certainly is easier to use than other food plans I've tried ( Zone and Diabetic Exchange). The trick for me will be to not blow those precious flex points!

Jana - enjoy your trip. Your points advice wasn't all that confusing, I'm still feeling my way around the basic points info, so you were really quite helpful. Fortunately, I've had alot of nutrition education over the years, so I have a good knowledge of portions and a pretty good low-fat kitchen/pantry set-up. The WW is really helping me with my personal accountability issues. DH is a sugar booger which causes me some angst - really hard to get that stuff out of the house completely, so I need to develop some habits to use to control my own triggers in that area.

Hi to everyone else...Can't stay too long this a.m.. Waiting to hear about an angiogram for my MIL's SO. We received an email from her this a.m. saying she took him to the hospital yesterday....so we are all a little on edge...hope he's going to be ok.

Good Morning ladies--

I slept in a little this morning. I looked at the clock at 9:00 and thought I better get up...then I came here and browsed around all the places I've recently posted at (I'm a wondering soul!) and here I am!

Where is everyone this morning??? I'm surprised to be the 3rd one posting!

Jana--I hope you and Katie enjoy yourselves for the next two days!! Don't get into any trouble, don't talk to strangers, look both ways before you cross that street and make sure you're in bed a decent hour!! And no kissing boys!!

(can you tell I need a cup of coffee? I'm still loopy!)

RosieKate--Congrats on the 2lbs!!! How great is that? I will be doing more paying attention to what goes in my mouth and move more and working on the smoking. I think it's time that things work for me!!

Morning to the rest of you. I better get off of here...my dogs want to go out. They're looking at me with a stinky smile!!

BBL on tonight

Marti

Great job rosie on the weight lose well my hubby is back darn i was enjoying the puter oh well ill write more later heather

Hello ladies and Welcome Heather!! Glad to have you join us. We're a bunch of fun girls who like to chat about everything under the sun! I'm married to a James also. So hop on in and just start yappin away!!

Well ladies, I went out to the patio and decided to rearrange some things back there to clean it up a little more. I busted my butt off--wait, let me see, nope it's still there, well I worked hard cleaning things up anyway. I moved the deep freezer over...that was a challenge , but it's moved. And I took away some things (like a door, area rug, and boxes of crap) and put those into the shed. (Love that shed!! ) So now the corner is cleaned up a bit and I'm sweating like a lunatic!!

That kept me busy for almost an hour. Kept my mind off smoking and nibbling. It's in the back of my head girls....I'm going to do this. Lose the weight and quit smoking!! Only 6mos. before the year is over and I want to at least be somewhat close to my goal weight!!!

I want to join you ladies who are losing weight. I love seeing your signatures going down in number!! Mine won't budge. But.....IT WILL!!!

Ok..time to clean up....I can't stand to smell myself, imagine if I had unexpected company!!

BBL

Marti

Welcome Scorchin - Another James, ha ha. Marti's DH is a James and so is my DS. Someone else on this forum has a James, too, but can't remember off the top of my head? It's a great name to go with some great guys How do you like GA? Is your DH stateside or (gulp) Iraq?

Marti - I know everyone here is going to support you on quitting smoking. If you are up for it, maybe it would be a good 21 day challenge? I'll be over there w/ my own challenge, so we'll help each other out.
Thanks for the good wishes, it does feel good to finally see the scale move in the right direction...
Still haven't heard about Roberto's angiogram, but DH and I are thinking no news is probably good news in this case....
