Good morning everyone,

This is really early but I do have a cup of coffee in my hand thinking of everyone. Didn't post yesterday so thought I better get with it.

Alannah, I hope your recommitment grows stronger daily. You will do it!

Marie, good going with your loss. It sure helps when we are able to pull it back on track. You will do fine with your paddy bear story. Sounds like a cute idea.

Sherri, Congratulations on your loss. I knew you would do it and see your having to take a break from exercise didn't hurt you. Shows how well you have been doing with your eating! You have done well with your weight loss since you joined TOPS. Think back to how you felt 10 pounds ago.....much better now I bet!! Hey, how did your hubby like your hair?

I had a good Thursday and rode my bike 9 miles. Broke it up into 2 segments, one at 4 miles and the other 5 miles. I feel good that I have restarted the physical part of getting healthier. Makes a big difference in my frame of mind too.

Hope everyone has a great Friday and is looking forward to the weekend. Mine will be staying at home helping with more scholorship apps with my daughter....and riding my bike!!

Take care and here's to healthier lifestyles!!

TOPS Hugs,
Summer

Hi Everyone! I hope everyone is doing great! I am so excited with myself that I have gotten back on track! Yes, Sherri, I was wondering myself... How did your hubby like your hair. Sometimes you need to do something for yourself to make yourself feel better. I hope everyone is doing great

Summer! I am glad you have restarted your exercise. I hope we can all start the goals again! Take care!

You are not only lying to others, but also to yourselve!

I will be leaving here shortly to get my finger operated on.To those that don't know.I accidently shot myself in my little finger.Stupid!!!!! I was unloading it to get rid of it when it went off.So my mind is not on losing weight.It is more on how bad it will hurt this afternoon.It doesn't hurt much now.They are putting two pins in as fracture is moving.Once it heals pins will come out.I did it on valentines day.My husband said he should have gotten me a purple heart.I am doing fine.Just goes to show that even people who always try to be very carefull with guns can get hurt.Am very thankful it was just my little finger.Gotta go.Time to leave for hospital.Will be home this afternoon

It does not matter how slow you go,as long as you do not stop.

Eleni,

That is terrible news about your finger. I will be saying a prayer for you today. I hope the surgery goes well for you. You sure do have a lot on your plate right now. With leaving your job and now this. Don't worry when things calm down you will be able to get back on track and have a great loss. Just focus on getting that finger taken care of first.

Summer,

That is great that you are riding your bike again. I think Dr. Phil did help you then. And yes to those that are wondering my husband said he will have to get used to it because it is so short but he said it looked nice. Actually the first thing he said was that I looked like a grandma.LOL I didn't appreciate that seeing that I am only 32 years old.LOL
But It is drastic but I am getting used to it also. It is very different for me to. When I wash it and find that there is hardly any hair left.LOL

Penny,

I am so glad that you are back on track and back with us. I have missed you. That is great that you had a loss. Goes to show that you are heading in the right direction

Thanks summer for the congrats and penny for all that you have done for me also.

Have a great day

By the way if anyone that is on the challange is out there I need your results. Please post them on the other thread. Summer I can't remember what your results were. Sorry

Also I wanted everyone here to know that I am going to run for leader this week. I am nervous about it myself. I hope I am making the right choice. I know I can do it. I just hope it doesn't end up bringing me down and making me gain weight like the other 2 weeks. I couldn't handle that. But I think it will be okay.

I will need a lot of help from those of you that have been there though. I am new to tops anyway so I will need a lot of guidance. But we had another girl come last night and she transferred from another chapter. So that makes 3 new people for us. At least we are getting new members. And with the open house I hope to get more. Then the group will be motivated with the new people. So I will have to let you all know what happens when I find out. I believe I am the only one running for leader because no one else wants to do it.

Is there anyone else here that is going to run for an officer this week? Let me know.

Sherri

Hello all,

Thought I would stop in and say hi.

Eleni.....hope everything went okay today. Was sorry to hear what happened and hope you have a quick recovery.

Sherri....congrats on the loss. It would make you feel a lot better. I haven't received any charms but don't want to ask them about them. I heard them talking on Wednesday about submitting the awards and talkinga about charms so maybe they do them all at once. I will wait and see.

I should go but wanted to pop in.

Marie
