Hello ladies!

My name is Stephanie and I'd love to join your group. I joined TOPS on April 16th, 2002 and to date I have lost 16 pounds. I still have a LONG way to go though but I know I'll get there. I LOVE TOPS! It is by far the best organization I have ever been a part of.

Can't wait to get to know all of you!

welcome stephanie:
you will get lost of support here. I have found the more i come here the better i do. The ladies here are very supportive, not only in your weight loss efforts, but if need adivse in other things they are here for that too. All in all most everything in our lives affects our weight loss efforts. I hope you come often, and feel free to ask the questions.

Hi Stephanie
Congrats on your weight loss. That is wonderful. Welcome to the boards. The ladies here are just wonderful. They give alot of good advice and alot of support. I know I couldnt make it without them. But at times when I am doing bad I feel that I am letting them down. But they are always able and are here to cheer me on no matter what. Hope you post often.

Hi gals,

I am still here. I had a busy weekend. But a nice one. I had to work on friday and do a lot of errands. But the 4th was nice. We did go see the fireworks. Plus we went to see some more last night. The ones last night were a lot better. And more fun to.LOL I ate too much as usual. I try to get back on track and then mess up. I have to start over again tomorrow. Had a yard sale here today then went to a wedding this afternoon. We only went to the reception.
I am looking forward to starting over AGAIN tomorrow. Someday I will get this right and start losing again.

I did have a loss at weigh in this week. I lost 3/4 lb over 3 weeks. At least I came in with a loss. I will be going back to tops every week again.. Decided I better stick with it and fulfil my obligation. Maybe someone will get something out of it. I can't get anything out of it if I don't put forth the effort.
I am ready to start trying again for me. I am going to slow things down and start thinking about me. I have to be harder on me when I want to eat and start thinking about when I am eating. Most of the time I am like you Coco and eat without realizing it. I have to stop doing that. Plus be good at counting points again. I started then stopped again.

No TOM for me this month ladies. But 2 tests have confirmed I am NOT pregnant yet. We are trying now. So it won't be long now hopefully. That is another reason I have to get this under control for my health. This weight is not healthy for me and I am so tired all the time. That is not good. I can't wait for curves to open back up on monday and I will be there again. I will start working out a lot again like I was. I was doing much better then and losing the body fat as well. I didn't do well this month for my weigh in and measurements I am sure. So tomorrow is a start over day like eleni said.

Eleni,
I am glad you enjoyed your trip. It was humid here for like 4 days now it is gone. Only in the 80's now. I like it when it is hot and humid then that is when I use the pool. I am chicken and don't like to be cold.
Welcome back home eleni.

Wendy,
Good job on doing good with the scale being down. You will have a great loss again this week. Keep up the great work girl.
Glad you found brandon. I would have died. No that does not make you a bad mother because he went out to play alone. You are a great mom and don't ever doubt that. You love him and would do anything for him and to keep him safe.

Penny,

You are doing awesome to.

CC,

How are you doing.

Maryann,

Welcome back. I haven't been here much either. I have been outside enjoying my family and the sun. We don't get a long time with the warm weather here so I am taking advantage of it. Keep up the great work. You can do this.

Christie,

Glad to see you are back from your trip to. Only 2 more weeks girl. I can't believe it is almost here. I can't wait.
