Well the week end went quick but it was a nice one. Was busy yesterday helping Steve take a part a computer desk he was giving a friend. It got all done and out of the house. Wonder whats going to take its place. Need to start getting ready for company coming the 25th. I've got lots of cleaning to do. Want to start with the fridge. Oh how I hate to clean it out. Its staying good and hot here. Need to think of something cool for dinner.

Ellen- Wish I lived near you and could pick berries. Your Indian food always sounds so good. Hope you get going today....

Solly- I can't do C1 either, I tried and lasted a week. Wish I could. Sorry about your leg and knee. But a day by the pool sounds good.

Well just had a slice a rye toast with peanut butter on it. That was my breakfast. Bad huh..... Guess I'll go get dressed for the day.

Hi ladies. My DD has finally returned home. After being snowed-in, they rerouted their flights then missed their connection, spent the night in the airport and just landed. I took my GS across the street to the sitter. I loved having him, but he wears me out. His favorite word is NO. When he was born I wanted to keep him 5 days, but I'm sure glad that didn't work out. Having him 5 days and 6 nights was enough for me. Just keeping him 2 days is fine.

It is really hot here, I'm not complaining though, I got in the pool for about an hour yesterday. I need to go out and water my flowers and clean my house.

Ellen, I nap sounds like a winner. I sure could use one. My GS gets up so early I am never ready. Hope you get a car soon. I know that is tuff. Glad you have such good friends to ride you.

Toni, pb on toast isn't that bad of a breakfast. I had a frozen ww waffle and sf syrup, Not the greatest but I need to go to the grocery badly. I also had green tea with honey as my throat has been so sore since Sunday. Thought it was allergies but not sure.

Crystal, how are you today? Had any rain lateley?

Off to do something. Probably book our overnight room for vacation. We leave on the 25th. I can't wait. Have a great day

Went and got a permanet today. Its kind of a bad day for me my son's birthday is today he would have been 41. How sad. Forgot to weigh in. Will do it tomorrow.

Hi ladies, I've been cleaning all morning. Tomorrow all I will have to do is floors. I have to split it up. My throat is still sore. I can't even blow my nose. DH said his was sore too. Don't know if I have something and giving it to him or if it is allergies.

Toni, I am so sorry for your grief. Try to remember all the good memories. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Ellen, Sounds like you will be without a car for awhile. It sure makes it hard when you are used to going out when you want. Hang in there.

Crystal, How are you doing?

Beth, You are in my thoughts too.

Have a great day.

Hey guys..anyone remember me? It took forever to find this thread. I'm doing okay...it's been a long time since I've been on here. Quick rundown...I'm 35 years old now...divorced...but engaged to a wonderful man(Jason). Boogie(Joseph) is now 11 years old and we are going for his 4th open heart surgery next month in PHilly...Ashley is 15 and full of attitude. I've been under a lot of stress with finances and Boogie's Dad not paying child support let alone trying to help out with finances for surgery. I've gained a couple pounds back this year...I'm an emotional eater. I don't follow the plan like I should, but know it works and I have good legal days...and then really bad ones...but all in all, I'm doing okay with weight. I'm at 163-65...I was in the 150's. I wear 10's and 12's. But that's better than a sz 24 I was several years ago.

Laurie(heartmom)

Oh my gosh Heartmom!! Its so good to see you posting and to hear about Boogie. I can't believe he's 11 already. And Ashley is 15. Congrats on getting engaged. Sorry you're having so much trouble with your ex. They can sure be stinkers. You've sure held your weight good. Anyway welcome back we're glad to have you.

Ellen- Thanks for the good thoughts.

Solly- You're right think of the good memories. Thank you for your thoughts and prayers. Hope its just allergies....

Hi ladies. Just finished my floors and getting ready to go to my daughters to lay in the pool for a couple hours. Our church picnic is this weekend and my Dh willcook the fish tonight and chicken tomorrow night. I will go up and try to help do something but since I am so limited I probably won't do much but sit.

Heartmom, it is so good to hear from you. You have done a great job with your weight. I remmeber you lost so much. I can't beleive how big your kids have gotten. I send prayers for Boogie's upcoming surgery. Congrats on your engagement. I am glad you found a good man. Please stay with us.

Ellen, It takes me awhile to clean, alot longer than before. Iam not a sitter so I have to be doing something. Hope yuor GS;s eye doesn't get too black and hurt him.

Toni, hope you are having a better day.

Did anyone see the lady on Good mOrning America today that has lost 300 lbs on her own. She cut down her meals and starting working out. She was 589 lbs to start with. Goes to show what you can do it you want it.

Off to my DD's. Have a great weekend.

Hi ladies, just a quickie. I am headed to the neurologist for I hope my last visit. I have disability forms for him to complete, hope he cooperates. I am really hoping he can ell me what is wrong with my throat. I can hardly talk and last night I saw a bunch of white stuff in there. I coughed so much I threw up. I wake all night coughing and have to get water. I just want it to go away and I reallt don't want to have to go to anoher doctor about it.

Yesterday we went to see Thomas the Train. My GS was so excited but I think he was still a little young, We rode the train but don't think he understood.

Ellen, sounds like you had a great weekend with your family. Always fun,

to eeryone else. Time to run. Have a great day
