Hey Penny and Christie,

I am so proud of you for staying on track like you are doing. You guys are doing great. Keep up the great work.

Penny it wasn't hard to eat the beans I like the french styled kind.LOL But it was my last can so I need to get more asap.LOL

We are all having a lot on our plates about now and we can still do this with each others help.

The reason I keep coming back to this board is because I have met the greatest friends here. You are all loyal friends through the good and bad and you are not afraid to speak up and give me the kick in the butt that I need. To me that is a true friend.

Wendy,

I am missing you like crazy girl. I know you are going through a lot right now but you have to get yourself motivatate girl and do this. I am proud of you for your loss this week. Don't make light of it because it was a .5 loss. Any loss is one to be proud of. It shows that you are on your way to getting back on track and that is a good thing. Stay away from the junk food girl or I will come over there and kick your butt personally.LOL I know I am having a hard time staying away from these choc chip cookies at work. I have picked up the tin twice today and then put it back down. I am about ready to put them in my bosses office. Out of sight out of mind.

I was soooo hungry this morning and I said a lot of prayers on the way in this morning. Had a talk with the man upstairs. By the time I got to work I was feeling normal again.LOL I hate it when the hunger strikes and you know you are not hungry. I just have to keep getting through these times and that is what will get me closer to my goal.

Eleni,

I agree with penny. You are a beautiful person I know because I have met you in person lady. You are beautiful on the inside and out. I know you are not happy with your weight but your weight doesn't make you who you are. Your heart does and you have the biggest heart I know of for a person. That is what is important and you shouldn't cut your pictures up. Your kids will want pictures when you are gone. If you keep cutting them up they won't have any to look at.LOL

Everyone else how are you doing today? I am doing fine.

Have a great day everyone I will check in later.

Sherri

Hi Ladies~

Another day closer to goal for us! I am still on track, not exercising yet but I am controling my eating. I want to concentrate on one thing at a time instead of jumping in head first and getting burnt out! I know that is easy to do!

Where is everyone? Get your butts here and let us know how you are doing. I hope you are having a great day ON PLAN and just remember we are all here for you!

Your Pal Penny

I just got home from doc. He wants to change my meds and do more test etc. He wants to try to strengthen the heart muscle. New med is suppose to be a great one IF I can tolerate side effects. Time will tell. They tried to do one test in office but I am too fat. Anyway he is trying to get me feeling better.
Other than that it is the same old same.

Hi Ladies
Well I havent got back on track yet. Just been picking all day. Havent even dug out my WW stuff yet. I really need to do that. I need to start writing down what I eat. That really helps me. So I will try and not eat anything else tonight. I will drink some green tea if I want something to eat.

Well I got my stitches out yesterday. It kinda hurt. Had to cut each stitch. And a couple of times she even got me. Hubby even held my hand. I saw him kind wince a couple of times himself. Was hurting last night. Told hubby I was hurting almost as much as the day of the surgery. Not hurting as bad today. But I did go to TOPS last night. A friend of ours took us. I really didnt feel like driving. She goes to TOPS so she offered to take us. I took her up on it. I did have a gain last night. I gained 1/2 lb in 3 weeks. That is better than the 5 lbs the hospital scales said I gained last week. So will take it.

Christie and Sherri Hope you girls are staying OP. I am sure you are doing well. I will get on plan with you ladies tomorrow. As soon as I get off here. I am going to dig my stuff out. And lay it on the table where I sit. That way I will see it. And then use it. You have a great eve.

Mompen. I am glad you are getting back on track. I know what you mean about needing some motivation. I am needing it myself. Its like I want to lose this weight. And I know what to do. But to make myself. I just cant seem too. Sometimes I feel like nobody else cares why should I. And it seems like the more I try not to think about food. The more I do. And then I think I am hungry. But not really. And then the next thing I know I have something in my mouth. Does that make sense. Am thinking of you. And I know you can get back on track.

FLGAL How are you doing. Are you staying OP. Am thinking of you. Hope you have great evening.

To everyone else. I am thinking of you. Hope everyone is getting back on track. Having losses this week. And everyone getting closer to goal. Will check in later.

I just had something really cool happened. Have you heard of the web site Classmates. I found a friend I have been looking for at least forever. I have not seen her in almost 40 years. I sent her an email and she called me tonight. It was a nice surprise. She has been hunting for me also. That was special

Hi there again
Just wanted to tell Christie and Sherri. I got my WW stuff out. It is at my place at the table.

Eleni That is wonderful that you found your friend. I have seen that. And thought about trying it. But just never have. I am sure you will have alot of catching up to do.

Have a great evening.

A TOPS PAL

Thanks everyone for all the support!

Penny

Hello Everyone!
I haven't been on in a while, went on vacation. And came back with some kind of virus. I was dizzy, sick to stomach most of the time. But am better now. This is the first time I have been online in 2 weeks.

Seems like I have been missing a lot. Hope those of you who are back to ww are doing well. It seems like a pretty easy program to stay on and you aren't restricted to certain foods.

Coco...what kind of surgery did you have, hope you are all healed now. And let me tell you, girl, there are a lot of people who care for you and are thinking about you. But you know this is something you must do for yourself. BUT we are here for you, to encourage, motivate, and cheer you on. You can do it. Take one day at a time...but stay on track! We'll help! Just let us know how you are doing.

Eleni... will keep you in my prayers as always. I have gone to Classmates and found a person I went to elementary school with (she lived around the corner from us!) She and I have visited several times. And I also found someone from college! It is a good site!

Sherri, good to hear from you. I hope you are doing ok and staying OP.

Right now I am having a problem...and you aren't going to beleive this. Me, complaining about losing weight. But I am 8# under goal and can't seem to get back up. Reaching goal is nice, but it doesn't stop there. It is a lifestyle change, a never ending thing. And since I've been sick I don't want to eat. Must start making sure I eat 3 meals a day.

Need to get off and answer some mail.

Love to all...Wanda
