Hi everyone,

Sorry I have been MIA. I get here and start reading posts so I can reply and the stupid phone rings and knocks me offline. I have been very excited and remotivated with my life in general. I actually have plans and a dream that I am going to pursue.
First with the weight I decided to go back to the WW 123 plan for me. It worked before with the lower points when I did it a long time ago on my own. I am sticking with 20-22 pts daily and the scale is dropping every day. I weighed in yesterday at WW and I was down 1.2 lbs to 187.6. I was so happy. I thought I would have a small gain and I lost. I was down again this morning so for my weighin today here with the girl I am doing the support group with I will have a 3 lb loss for the week. So from seeing the scale drop daily it is keeping me motivated to stay on track and keep losing.
The other thing that I am excited about is I am going to be putting my efforts into learning how to buy and sell houses to make money. I am getting the Carlton Sheets info to learn how to do it. I have a few friends that know how to do it also that are going to help me. I keep reading that we have to make our life happen and take it upon ourselves. Well I finally figured out what I wanted to do and I am ready to put my all into it. If this works it will be great to make money on my own by myself. I have to do something my husband isn't getting any younger and he can't work in the garage at night for the rest of his life making extra money for our bills. Plus if this works he can just work his normal job and spend more time with us as a family without the financial worries.
Then I was asked by a friend today to watch her son over the summer to make some extra money. So I said yes. At least megan will have someone to play with over the summer. So that will help.
So that is about what is happening. Been busy with megan's extra activities at school. She is doing field hockey on mondays, softball practice on tue and sat and brownies on thursday. So that keeps me busy as well as taking care of the boys. I got out on sunday and did a lot of raking. Good exercise and it was beautiful out.

Eleni,

I am so glad you didn't give up and you went to your class. It was funny what happened but I am sure it wasn't funny when it was happening to you. I took a water class like that before as well and you don't even realize that you are exercising. It will be great for you. Did you like the other women in the class? Keep up the great work.

Hotcupofjava,

How are you doing today? You are doing great as well.

Susie,

How was your night out last night? Did you have fun? Tell us all about it girl. I am so proud of you. You are doing great and it is great that you signed up for the Y challange. I am rooting you on. I hope you win one of those great prizes.

I found out last night we can't have our father/daughter dinner dance at the Elks like I wanted. So I have to get busy today and find another place to have it or we might have to wait until next year to have it.

Ok ladies I am going to try and get here more often. I know it really helps me. I have been keeping in daily contact with wendy and christie so that helps to. You all have a great day and do something good for yourself today.

HI lady06498....I'm Belle and new to this board. I belonged to 3fc's a long time ago when it first started, but I'm having a hard time figureing out just how you all are running the Tops board. Did you copy and paste other post and insert into your post, there are serveral names. I'm having a hard time trying to get into the conversations. I guess I'm asking someone to explain to me!!!
Really glad to hear you've decided to take control of your life. Better now than later. Congrats on the weight loss, keep up the good work.
Belle

Hi Belle.Sorry you are having trouble figuring out the board.I know some of other threads just keep going and going. We usually start a new thread each day.But if you see another thread and want to comment on it that's fine too.Hang in there you will start to learn the different people.
Today was 2nd time at water exercise.It went well and I really like it.I still have to get another bathing suit.
I am looking for a loss tonight at tops.I seem to be slowly but steadily losing.
Ok It's nap time for the old lady. Have a good day

Belle,
Welcome to our boards. I started a new thread today I didn't copy and paste. I have been posting here for a long time so you just get to know the people and remember their names. It does take awhile I am aweful with the newbies. I can never remember who is who. I try to remember from prior posts what is happening with others to help keep up with them. We are here in the good times and the bad and for the daily lives. That is what is so nice about this board you can really get to know each other that way. We are more then our weight we have lives and families and it is great to learn about everyone. I hope you are having a great day on plan.

Eleni,

That is great that you enjoyed the class I knew you would. It is something different and a way for you to get out and meet people. Don't knock the slow and steady lady remember the turtle won the race.LOL Thought you would like that one. How are you feeling these days? Is the new meds helping at all? Tell Bill I said hi.
