Just a quick note to see how everyone is doing?

Deb: Sorry about the mix up on your hubby's name. You and Sherry are together so much, I just thought they were interchangeable. Anyway, so glad "James" is doing so much better. I am glad to hear your mother is doing better. Here's to a speedy recovery!!!

You are making good food choices and that is all that counts right now!!! Keep up the good work. I am sure I would be eating everything in sight if I were you with all you have been through. Keep it up girl!!

Sherry: Hope FIL is going better. Hang in there girl!!!

To the rest of you wonderful ladies. Keep up the good work! We are going to do this!!!

Have a great OP day!!


Carol

HAPPY MAY DAY AND NATIONAL DAY OF PRAYER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Welcome Cheryl...Most of us have been together for the last 3yrs and we get wild and crazy sometimes.(all the time)

SHer and Deb...Our in my thoughts.

Everyone have a good evening.

Vicki

Cheryl come and join in. We welcome you with open arms.

Sherry and Debbie how are the patients doing? Hope that you are getting some rest. Deb just make wise food choices and don't worry about the carbs right now.

Happy May Day to you all. If you lived close enough so I could walk to your place I would have hand delivered a rose. I bought a dozen roses and passed them out to all my special friends, even Dez and Jays girlfriend. The boys got chocolates.

I can't remember if I told you why the photograher was here or not. Anyways I will tell you again just in case I haven't. Our basement is going to be featured in the local paper in the Home section. I will copy and paste the article, later that will go in with the pics. It is going to be featured two weekends in a row.

Mom had a nice birthday yesterday. She is doing ok. They said that the swelling in her leg is permenent damage from the blood clot. Sounds something like"adema" which is swelling, but damage to the valves in her veins and arterys. Her radiation will start in about 2 weeks.

Well I am going to run and watch my taped show of survivor. Have a nice evening.

Hello Friends

What a week this has been!! Wayne's Dad is doing a lot better.They have weaned him off some of the medication so now he's not talking as crazy.Thank you for keeping him in your prayers.

Yesterday when I got off work, I went to 3 different hospitals before I got home. I went to see Debbie's Mom, Wayne's Dad and then to see Wayne's Niece.She's in the hopsital now.She had a baby last week and starting hemmoraging the other night.Yesterday they did a blood tansfusion.She's a little better today.

I'm so tired and I'm praying that everyone gets well and comes home from hospitals soon!

Gotta go before I passout.
Hugs & Love To All.....

hi everybody,
I'm still here.

Welcome, Cheryl!! Keep on posting. You'll be surprised how quickly you will feel at home and part of the floozie family.

Tomorrow we leave for another camping trip (also known as the devil's playground for dieters!)....I have decided that I will allow myself to go off Atkins, but I will be back with all of you on Monday. We are heading south to Temecula (about one hour from San Diego...rain is in the forecast...I can't believe it, what happened to "It never rains in southern California.." I guess only on camping trips it pours!

Take care everyone, and my prayers are with all of you and yours to be healthy and safe.

Welcome Cheryl!! Jump right in and join us wild and crazy women!!

Sherry-YES!! The kids are aweful right now!! To make matters worse, the secretary to the principal has been out of town this week and me and my office cohort have been covering her duties of payroll, news, etc. It's quite the learning experience!! Just 28 days until the kids leave, and 29 until the teachers are gone!! It will be nice not having them there. Maybe I will be able to get some of my own work done!! BTW-I am so proud of you!! 46 days is OUTSTANDING!!

Dee-I can't wait to see the article. How's the movie down the street going? Has Richard Gere shown up yet?

Vicki-I envy you with your new car!! Have fun!

Gayle-Any fun plans for your birthday tomorrow??

Jennelle-What's happening?

Jeanne and Debbie-Looks like you both are still doing good being OP!!

To everyone else--I Love You All!!

Shelley Richard Gere was here for the weekend. the movie is finished filming. But the good news is while Richard was here for the weekend he did some scouting and will be back in June I think for 9 weeks to shot a movie with Jennifer Lopez.

Gayle will we be hearing from you today? Isn't it the day your long lost hubby comes home???

Wow!! Thanks for the welcome!!

Currently, I'm without program. I have tried EVERYTHING legal, short of surgury, to lose weight and right now I'm just taking a breather and trying to maintain. I'll jump back on the diet wagon shortly, though!! My next "plan" is to start counting calories again, in addition to a walking/jogging program. (Been walking--have to work on the jogging!--need a bra)

I just need motivation. I know that it should be coming from within, I need more than I can provide myself though!!

Anyway, thanks again for the welcome!! Now that I know y'all're here, I'll be back!!

Cheryl

Cheryl, sorry to be so late welcoming you to the board! I know you will find plenty of inspiration and encouragement here. Let us know any way we can help you. BTW, I'm a fellow Arkansan!

I hope all of you who have family and friends in the hospital will be able to bring them home soon. I know it is a very difficult time for many of you right now.

I have been devoting my spare time this week to helping some friends of ours whose son was in a car crash last week. He suffered a severe brain injury and it is just a wait and see situation. It is not life threatening at this time, but it has changed his personality. He was always a sweet boy and now he flies into a rage and curses everyone around him. Someone has to stay with him at all times to keep him calm. It is a sad situation.

I hope to get back to posting regularly on Monday.
Take care everyone and keep on loozing!!!!!!!

Love,
Ramona

Cheryl-Why not join us at the exercise thread? We have lots of fun over there, too!
