Home of the Loozing Floozies.....(#55)
 

Hello

Here at McSkinneys, Our mission is to motivate,support and lose those pounds & inches.We must keep those Loozing Floozies loosing!! :cb:



Feel free to join our group of wonderful ladies.Come on in.....Give us YOUR motivation,support and ideas.We would love to have you!!! :grouphug:

Shelley~You're on for dinner!!!!! If I sell it, we'll celebrate for a week. Do ya'll like good southern BBQ?:ink:

Dee~how did the counseling session go? I hope you were able to resolve some issues.

I had the test done yesterday. The technician was completely mum. She wouldn't tell me anything. She kept returning to one place on the screen that showed up bright red and would then take a still picture of it. She also video taped the entire procedure. It has to be sent off to the cardiologist and then I will be notified by mail as to the results. Hurry up and wait!:?:
Dee, you asked about my blood pressure. It is extremely low. It usually avereages around 78 over 56. I stay cold all the time, just like Gayle!

Debbie~hang in there. I know you can do it!!!!!:)

I'll post to everyone else later today. I have a salesman coming in.:(

Ramona

Debbie it is so precious that you have Jacob. Please try to post a pic of him as he is grown so much since the last one. Glad that you are in control of your eating habits and feeling better. Cheers!

Ramona I find when my blood pressure drops that is when there is more of a chance of me felling like blacking out or blacking out. Try not to bend over with your head down. Hope all the results come back ok. I know that this is a worry I have been there. Take it easy until you find out what is going on.

Well the session last night went ok. We didn't resolve much.Jason feels like we have abandoned him. I feel really sorry for him because he is under a lot of stress from him course at collage. He can only cope with one stressful thing at a time. I told him that we would all be happier if he had an apartment. I said that I could help him with setting it up. He just wants to come home. He is willing to try again but he said his effert will be going to school first and he didn't know if he would put much into trying. So what a mixed message that is. As for Dez the councilor wants us to try to pretend that she is a guest here and for her to pretend that we are her hosts. We are to play this game as long as possible. Our next appointment is next tuesday. We are not sure if Jay will go.

Well I hope you all have a good day. My sister from the country Gail is coming in and we are going out for lunch. I am sure she will fill me in more on her and Ed. I think that Ed is back on the road again.

Well got to go get ready.

DEE

Any of you girls survivor fans? Starts tonight 8:00 eastern time. I will have to tape the show. Dez is receiving an award for A Honour roll at school for last years performance. We are fortunate that both are children are gifted.

DEE

WAY TO GO Debbie on resisting all those naughty snack foods!!!
You are certainly doing better than I am!

Ben just called from K-9 school and he had me laughing so hard I was in tears. They got their "dogs". They were big ammo cans with leashes tied on. They had to pet them and baby talk them just as if it were a real dog. I would love to see that! A bunch of big tough soldiers petting ammo cans!!!! LOL They get their real dogs tomorrow. Ben's is a 90 pound Belgeium Shepherd.

Shelley, Gayle, Dee, Jennelle, Sherry, Debbie, Vicki, Carol, DebyJ, I hope I didn't leave anyone out: Love and good wishes to you all for a wonderful Friday and a great weekend.

Ramona

:stress: Im a Dorito and I miss my little friend Debbie!!!! She use to love me, hold me, lick me and get pleasure from me..... but now she has moved on to Mr. :cb:
No more time to love me, I guess our relationship just wasn't healthy. :lol: :lol: :lol:

HELLO FELLOW FLOOZIES!!!!!!!

I hope everyone had a great day today!!!!

Ramona: I can just picture those "big boys" out there petting their fake dog!!!! I bet your son will just fall in love with his new partner!!! How are you feeling??? Try not to stress and relax a bit!!!! Thank you for the weekend wishes!!!

Deb: Did you like my little Dorito story????? That's right, just toss that little sucker in the garbage and reach for Mr. Banna!!!! You are doing GREAT!!!!!! You will be one HOT HEALTHY GRANNY in no time at all!!!!

Sher: Are you taking it easy????? PLEASE TRY, OKAY?????? I want to meet you one of these days and it's gonna be kinda hard to if you don't take care of your health!!! How's Drew??

Dee: Did you enjoy your lunch with Sis????? Shucks, I missed surviver, big brother and I guess a new ER!!!! I had a very long and boring meeting tonight.

Shelley: YOOOOOOOOO-HOOOOOOO! Where are you??????????? How are you doing? Are you maintaining????? Not me!!!! My clothes are getting tighter day by day!!!! I get so discouraged!!!!!

I did not stay OP today. In fact I have had a rough week!!!!! My clothes are tight, and I have a trip next week and 3 days of a Regional convention the next. I think first thing in the A.M. I am making a big pot of low point veggi soup. Maybe if I just eat that for a few days, it will get me back on track.

Wishing everyone a super OP day!!!! Love, Gayle

Sure has been quiet here today.
Debbie I am so proud of you. Way to go keeping your hands of the naughty treats. You have it right though that you have to go out and get some safe treats.
Gayle survivor was really good last night. I am not into watching much on tv except the news and movies. So this is a treat when there is a show I can look forward to weekly. Did you make your soup today? I made a big pot of chicken noodle. My points have been at the high end so I think that today I need to go lower.

Ramona that is so funny to think about those big guys petting tin cans. What a story.

Hope you all have a great week-end.

DEE

weigh-in day...down another pound, even after Mexican food last night (and two margaritas)...I'll take it. :D

Jennelle~ YOU GO GIRL!!!!!!!

peace. love, and football(even though both my teams sucked!!)

Hi there everyone.It's nice to see all the posts today.
Well I am the northern girl. It has been cool here the last few days. Today the high is only 50. I am keeping warm though. Got a hot flaming fire in the fire place..... the sweet smell of fall. Beef stew simmering on the stove top, and a cinnamon apple crisp baking in the oven. Now all I need to do is get a whole wheat dough going for hot fresh buns. And it is all on program.

Debyj sure is nice to have a few days off. Do you have any plans?

Sherry and Debbie you girls will have a great time. I think it is wonderful that you can have a week-end away. Debbie it will be nice for you to see your brother and his family too. Great job staying on program. Now all you need to do is get walking with us. Sherry the message you left this morning sure encouraged me to post. I think it worked for everyone else too.

Vicki what kind of crafts will you be doing this year for christmas? I love craft shows. We usually do some crafts too for christmas as gifts.

Gayle what is reverse painting on glass. Is it kind of like glass etching. What are you doing it on. Did you try making the points bracelets?

Shelley gee that it is too bad that Sherry and Debbie will be that far away. Is there a chance that you guys might be able to meet half way?

Ramona when wil you get the results back from your test? I just want to let you know that you are in my prayers.

Jennelle way to go on the weight loss. I will be going to weight watchers tomorrow.

One more thing I wanted to share with you all. Yesterday we had Jason and Ashley down for brunch. Things went well and there wasn't to much uncomfortable silence. I think time will heal everything. We are not planning on taking him back but would like to help him find a place to live. He is not ready to look yet but I know that Ashley's parent won't keep him indefinitely. One step at a time. Now to see if he will come back to the meeting tuesday.

Hope everyone has a nice day.

DEE

Hooowdy!! :wave:

Gayle,
What ya doing while hubby is gone? When does he come home? I didn't realize you were a lady of many talents! I would love to see the things you make.What exactly is reverse painting? That blew right over my head! :lol: Instead of going to work, maybe you could make & sell these things???!!!

Dee,
I glad that you had Jason & Ashley over for dinner.I know it must be very tough for you right now but stay "tough!" One of these days, he'll look back & realize that this was the best thing for him. Tough love is rough but it sure grows them up.Everything will work out....don't worry! :angel: (We're here for you!!)

Vicki,

Love ya'll,
Sherry (Sher-Bear):twirly:

Here's a funny joke that Debbie sent me.I wanted to share it with you:


The other day I went up to a local Christian bookstore and saw a honk if you love Jesus bumper sticker.



I was feeling particularly sassy that day because I had just come from a thrilling choir performance, followed by a thunderous prayer meeting, so I bought the sticker and put in on my bumper.

I was stopped at a red light at a busy intersection, just lost in thought about the Lord and how good He is and I didn't notice that the light had changed.


It is a good thing someone else loves Jesus because if he hadn't honked, I'd never have noticed.



I found that LOTS of people love Jesus. Why, while I was sitting there, the guy behind started honking like crazy, and when he leaned out of his window and screamed, "for the love of God, GO! GO!" What an exuberant cheerleader he was for Jesus.


Everyone started honking! I just leaned out of my window and started waving and smiling at all these loving people.

I even honked my horn a few times to share in the love. There must have been a man from Florida back there because I heard him yelling something about a sunny beach...


I saw another guy waving in a funny way with only his middle finger stuck up in the air. When I asked my teenage grandson in the back seat what that meant, he said that it was probably a Hawaiian good luck sign or something.


Well, I've never met anyone from Hawaii, so I leaned out the window and gave him the good luck sign back.


My grandson burst out laughing, why even he was enjoying this religious experience.


A couple of the people were so caught up in the joy of the moment that they got out of their cars and started walking towards me.


I bet they wanted to pray or ask what church I attended, but this is when I noticed the light had changed.


So, I waved to all my sisters and brothers grinning, and drove on through the intersection.



I noticed I was the only car that got through the intersection before the light changed again and I felt kind of sad that I had to leave them after all the love we had shared, so I slowed the car down, leaned out of
the window and gave them all the Hawaiian good luck sign one last time as I drove away.

Praise the Lord for such wonderful folks!
