Hi,

I can't believe that it is May already. Where does time go? I would love to say that I'm losing weight but I'm not. Wonder why??? Hope everyone is doing great!!!!

Susan

Greetings from a happy person.
we just returned from a week of vacation. I'm exhausted but happy.
I think I'll get on the scales in the morning just to see how much damage was done.

I see no one missed me.
Tina

Susan, I wonder why you aren't losing too?

Hey Susan! Didn't there used to be a gal that posted here named Tina? Wonder what ever happened to her? She was a great incentive for all of us. Pretty upbeat kind of gal. Maybe she'll start posting again someday, what do you think?????? (Pretend that this is a face winking because I don't know how to do that)

Very funny, Tammy
I'm glad to get back online but not glad to get back to the daily grind. I miss all that relaxing and goofing off. We had a super, terrific time.

How is everyone doing????? I really do miss all our members who are not posting. Hint Hint Hint---that means, Please Post.
If you are new to this thread, we would love you to come join us. It may seem like a very close knit group---and you would be correct- HOWEVER---we would love more members!!!!!

I'm going back to a WW meeting tomorrow morning. I need to be around others and to see fi there's something new going on with WW. I'll let y'all know what I find out.
Tina

LOL I giggled when I typed that Tina. I'm glad you had a good time. It is wonderful to be away from that daily grind, isn't it? I'm ready for summer, that's for sure.

I wish more people were posting too. Wonder what's up with everyone?

Let us know about the WW meeting. I've considered going back, but I don't know if I'm ready to pay for the meetings again. I've seriously thought about TOPS. There is a chapter that meets in the Family Center of our church on Tuesday nights. I could do the WW plan, and attend the TOPS meetings. Much cheaper and I would be getting that support. Not sure what to do. Maybe I should go on Tuesday and see what I think of it.

Heading for bed very soon. Have a great week everyone!!

I am a little disappointed in the WW meetings as well, we had two guest speakers in the last four weeks that were pretty good but the regular leader starts the meeting at 6;35 and we are done by 7;00. I just paid for 12 weeks, but I am going to be scouting out some other locations where they are meeting.
I didn't have to worry about the restaurant meal at the place that my son will be working. He took his girlfriend to the opening day instead of me

Howdy,

I went to my brother's house in Kilgore this weekend. It was so much fun! It always is, then my other brother came up. We went over to the boats but none of us came back winners.

Welcome home Tina!! Glad that you had a great time!!!! I'm going back to ww meetings as soon as the baby is born.

Tammy, are you counting those days yet? I know I am!! We have 17 days left.

Mimi, how are you doing?

It would be great if everyone posted! We miss you when you don't post.

Susan

Happy Tuesday night!!!!!

I went to the WW meeting yesterday. It was good to be back. However, the subject wasn't for me. She talked about having meatless dishes, using tofu and 3 other things that I'd never heard of.
I'm not "into" tofu or anything like that. I will go back next week, though.

Susan and Tammy, I'm so sure y'all are ready for the summer.
Okay, everyone else is missed and urged to say "hi" some time.

I feel like I have jet lag. at least today I was more awake. I emptied one case but have the BIG ONE to get to tomorrow. It's so much easier to put things in than take them out and wash. Don't y'all agree!
Tina

Hi,
Tina, I'm sure that you have jet lag. What is the time difference between here and the Grand Cayman's. Take it easy, those suitcases will be there when you are ready. Oh and that WW topic would not be for me either.

Susan

Mimi, I had to laugh about your son taking his girlfriend. My son would do the same thing, I'm sure!

Susan, we have 18 days left. Yes, I'm counting!!! 3 years, 18 days to be exact. lol

Tina, I'm not into Tofu either. Just looking at it makes me nauseous. Is that spelled right?

When we go on a trip, I'm always tempted to throw things away when we get home and just go out and buy new stuff. Make sense?

I just read my last message that said that I might check out TOPS at our church tonight. It started at 6 or 6:30. It is 9:40. Do you think they'd still be there???

Maybe I'll look into it this summer. Things have been going really well for me in that area. I'm losing very slowly, but I'm able to tell a difference in my clothing. In Nov. 2003 I was at my highest. That's when I joined Curves. Stopped going there last August, and I've tried to do things on my own. I'm right at 33 pounds gone in that time, so that makes me happy.

Good evening,
Tammy, I'd say you really missed that meeting tonight.

Mimi, I hope you find a meeting that interests you. It's so important to like the leader.

Susan, GC is Eastern Standard time. So, that made it the same time as TX. Weird, I know. However, my body just knew it was an hour different.
Also, we did a lot of physical activity, besides goofing off on the beach. Now, I have to recover.
How are you feeling????

Maureen, how are your jobs?

Sis, where are you friend????? I miss you a lot!
Tina

Greetings and Salutations!
I just spent almost $90.00 restocking my pantry and frig. Before the trip, I'd let it go. Now, I have food to eat. There's no excuse to eat out.
That is except for Mother's Day, of course. We are all going to a Mexican restaurant. My Mother used to like it and so we're taking her there. There should be 10 of us. That will be fun.

What is everyone else doing on Mother's Day? Or, is it a surprise for you?
(My sister and I always plan where we're going.)

Be proud, I got so much healthy food. Tonight will be easy. I bought some WW meat lasagna. I'm making a huge salad. And, I'll take some reduced cal. bread and put a smidgen of marg. and some garlic powder on it and place in the oven for a minute. Voila---yummy bread!

Could we meet you at the Mexican restaurant? sounds great! Hope you and your family enjoy it. I can understand how easy it is to spend $90!!! Sometimes we go too long between stocking up on things.

Not sure what's happening this weekend. My birthday is Saturday. Bob works until 4, and Tim goes to work at 4. I don't think either one of them is working on Sunday, but we don't know for sure.

Your supper sounds great! I had broiled fish and the guys had pork chops. We had green bean casserole. They also had mashed potatoes and gravy.

That's all for now!

Well we went to the race track for our free buffet last night and it was great! We also got $20 in betting vouchers and $20 in Casino money but only my son's girlfriend won. GRRRR. I didn't overdo it too much on the buffet, I was really craving meat so I had roast beef, shrimp, and dessert. Not too balanced but wasn't going to worry about it. I also decided that playing slot machines in the most boring activity (?) I have ever participated in, no mental effort at all required. That mexican restaurant sounds good, we don't have any in town except Taco Bell (no thanks). I will be working most of Sunday, maybe we will do the dinner thing Saturday night. A juicy steak on the BBQ sounds about right.
Speaking of Tofu I used to have a really great recipe with tofu instead of meat and cottage cheese in a lasagna recipe. It really was good.

Hi Ya'll,
Hope everyone is having a great day.

Tina, I don't mind the shopping, it's the putting up that I could do without. Mexican food sounds yummy!!

Tammy, Hope your family surprises you and are all off on your birthday!!!

Mimi, I went to the Casino on Sunday night with my brothers. We only fed the machines. I like winning much better.

I have a headache tonight. I was hoping it would go away but I think I might have to break down and take something. I'm sure it's allergies. My eyes seem to have sprung a leak today.

Have a relaxing evening.

Susan
