Morning Penny, hope you have a great week. Really slow on the board this weekend, let's get in gear! Okay, that's just me not having a life, and unable to really go anywhere or do anything!

LOL, gotta run, bbl.

Morning, all. It is TOM for me now, so my scales are up, and my cramps are trying to kill me. I slacked off on the working out last week with being sick and that fun stuff, so it's time to get back in gear!

Morning all...TOM is here HARD I hate that dang thing, although I did get lucky and didn't gain any this month, maybe cuz its my first month since I started eating better and I'm still loosing instead of holding on to the TOM weight. Well I have to get to the bank (driving today, I will not walk ANYWHERE during the first few days of TOM) and gotta run to the store, BBL

Been a busy morning. Went and paid my phone bill, applied for six jobs, and had lunch all before noon! Please send some positive thoughts my way. Of the six jobs, 4 I know I am qualified for, 1 I can learn, and 1 may not higher me because of my weight. That one is for a Sales Counselor with LA Weightloss. So, I'm not too sure about it. 20 minutes of walking in on top of all that. Now, I am going to clean my living room (it never ends) exercise, then we have to go get dd from pre-K and go to the grocery store. When I get home from the store, it will be more exercise time for me. I will be getting my butt in gear! I just don't feel like I did as much as I should have these past two weeks, and I seriously have to catch up to Michelle! Ready or not, here I come!

Hi everyone!
Hope everyone's weekend was nice. I guess the main thing I did was help hubby clean the garage....yuck!
I did manage to lose 2 lbs. over the weekend. Weekends are usually the pits for me but I just stuck to my diet and did it. Maybe all of that work in the garage helped.
Tabita-it sounds like you've had such a busy day so far!! You go girl!! Hope you get a job out of that--sounds like you might--six applications b4 noon!! Wow!!
Sorry to all of you who have the monthly visitor. No fun....but you'll get through it!
I guess it's off to treadmill. I'm up to 15-20 minutes at 2.8 mph a few times a day. I just put on some tunes and start walking. Love it. This month I've been losing 3 pounds a week, last month it was 2. It looks like I'll make my goal of 220 by Easter.
I haven't posted a lot, but have always been a lurker (ohh, that sounds creepy) and I want to thank all of you who have always given me the courage to go on.
Well, that's it for now. Hopefully, bbl. Have a good day, e1!! Lisa

Just a fly by for me...Had a few extra minutes of my lunch hour and thought I'd say hi. TOM isn't here for me but that didn't stop me from gaining a 1 1/2 pounds. Darnit!

Tabitha_Good luck with the job apps. I hope one of them works out for ya.

HI LISA! HI CHELLE! HI PENNY!

Okay...its back to work I go... then to feed my dad's cats again. He'll be back tonight so I'll be sooo happy.
