Good Morning All,

It's a beautiful morning and I thought I would get the thread started early today. I have a dental appointment later and need to get some things done first.

I did a lot of work in the yard yesterday, trying to burn off some calories. I'm hoping to stay in the black at weigh in tomorrow, but I ate a little too much at SRD and have been trying to make up for it the rest of this week.

Congrats, Summer on your loss last night. 3 weeks in the black....You're doing great.

Bev...Congratulations on your good loss, too.

Good luck to all of you that weigh in tonight. I know it isn't luck, it's staying on plan and all, but it just seems easier to say 'good luck'. Good luck to those of you that weigh in tomorrow too.
Don't forget to post your weigh ins.

Nita

Sorry haven't been here much. Busy. I have been watching though, and posting here and there.
Nita you are doing awesome. Weigh to goal girl. Keep it up.
My day started yesterday, and it has continued today. I'm tired managed a 2 hour nap this afternoon. I was home with brandon, sinus thing for him. Had a bloody nose couldn't stop this morning. Bled for 40 min the first time. He's sleeping now.
Our SRD is around the corner, and don't know if I told you all, but I'm going to announce the leaders. Jitters. I'll be fine though.
The lady that was going to do it found out that her hubby has lung cancer. I got a long dress for it, need a new bathing suit, but not sure how much time for that. The hotel does have a gym, i think i will get some of that exercise in. I still have time for the suit though. It was warm here, and now chilly. Suppose to have rain the next 3 days, but Hey, it's michigan and everything can happen.
Well gotta go ladies, hope all of you are doing fine.
I'm taking it one day at a time.

Hi Ladies
Hope everyone is doing ok. Looks as if the boards have been slow. Guess like me everybody is busy getting ready for Easter. We are going to go to my Mom and Dad's for dinner. Wont go until around 4:00pm. But with Sunrise Service and everything Mom figured it would be better to have dinner later. We have breakfast after Sunrise service. Usually have scrambled eggs, little smokies rolled up in a biscuit, donuts, coffe, and juice. So wont be to hungry at lunch time. Anyway get a chance to take a nap before we go.

Eleni I really like your vest. You look great.

Shortstack. You will do just fine. Sorry to hear Brandon is under the weather. Hope he gets to feeling better soon.

FLGAL You will do fine at weigh-in. How did the dentist appt. go. I dont like to go dentist.

Sherri How are you doing. Hope to hear from you soon. Hope you are feeling better.

Ok ladies I have a question. My question is this. By being in TOPS is alright to follow another diet plan that a Dr. recommends. I know I have follow WW. And also did some Sugar Busters. But wasnt really sure if it was allowed. But hubby went to the Dr's today. Got test results. Cholesterol, Triglycerides, and LDL were all high. Not real bad but high enough that they are thinking of putting him on Lipator. But they dont want to do that because of his liver and kidney's. So she suggest he go on the Sugar Buster diet. Would this be alright with TOPS. Was just wondering if anyone knew.
Well I better get off here. Got some towels in washer. And it should have stopped by now. So need to go dry them. Hope everyone has a great evening.
A TOPS PAL

Coco, whatever plan your dr says to do is fine. There are no 'certain diet' rules. A member just can't belong to 2 different organizations at the same time and have that weight loss count. You can use their diet plans though, and many people that once belonged to WW have changed to TOPS due to the cheaper costs, but follow 'their' plan........which is very similar to TOPS 'exchange'..........which is very similar to Richard Simmons Deal a Meal or closing the windows one [can't think of the name].
Good Luck with the Sugar Buster way!

Nita, thanks for the applause on my being in the black. It has been tough, but you are right, it does take staying on plan....and a little luck never hurt. I went off plan today, ate junk carbs, and feel awful. Why I do such silly thing, ?????????????? Soon I'll be able to start raking the grass. Most of the snow is gone from the back yard, but the front is still piled high. The growing season up here is very short. Not many gardens. Enjoy being ourdoors.

Wendy, nice to see you back. Have fun at your SRD. What city is it in this year?

I'm doing OK, today could have been much better, but I will get back to better foods, cause I feel so bad physically after what I ate....a sick feeling. My body can tell when I eat better and then trash it.....it rebels back by making me feel like *&$#!!!! I did lose 1.75 last eve.........so need to just keep that going. It was a wonderful feeling when I saw that scale. It has been awhile.

Chat later.....have a good rest of your day.....and I''m going to grab a big glass of water. Anyone wanna join me?

Summer

I did terrible as usual. I gained 6# which stinks but I did it. Have a lot of stress going on. I will get back on track. I have to, as I challenged my group to get to their KOPS status and I will go on stage in Leaders parade next year. 5 KOPS and I will do it no matter what. And I do not want to go on stage weighing this much. Have a great Easter
