Hi Meg and Dahlia,

Meg, GREEN milk chocolate :p now that would definitely get me to give it up :lol:

I walked another 3mls this morning :cb: had a good day yesterday and i'm on track for another today, that scale better be good to me this friday :lol: i bought myself 2 pairs of leather sandals at the mall :D :sssh: i won't tell hubby tho' :rofl: i'm having fish and chips for tea :T looking forward to it.

Cathy - good for you for staying OP!

I met with my boss this morning, and he wants me to go to a bunch of new home developments and pretend to be a buyer. I have about 10 to hit by MOnday. Very fun!

I just pinned my skirt pattern to new fabric I bought. Time to start the second skirt. Cleaned up the house in no time. I need to get back to cleaning up as the mess happened, so I don't have to spend 1/2 hour tidying up.

Bought some great dinner items at Trader Joe's last night. For dinner we had baked brie, and stuffed salmon fillets. The salmon fillets were only $3 each. I couldn't believe it. And they were yummy, so I am going to get them again.

Well, I am going to go cut out my skirt. Talk to you later!
Meg

Meg, how exciting about the job ;) almost as good as going on a shopping spree :lol: the cod i had last night was delicious :T will have the other piece tonight ;) i've just walked/jogged 3mls and i feel great :strong: i'm just going to have some lunch and then hit the mall :wave:

Hi Meg and Cathy,
Just home from work, going to hit the shower but checking email and here first. WE got our new machine at curves, its for the sides,, its a totally new movement so should help with the love handles... :)

Is really cold today, sunny but the wind is from the north.

Green milk chocolate tastes just like the regular, all the colors pretty much do... they are just neat being colored.... and you would love them too, Cathy...:)

Meg, I would love to go look at a bunch of new houses,,,, how lucky you are. And you are really getting into this sewing.. that is just so cool.

Have a good evening and talk to you both later.
Dahlia

Dahlia, i don't like food dyes :p i hate them and if all chocolate was coloured green or blue or yellow then i would never touch another piece :lol:

Just bought myself a new keyboard and trying to get the 'feel' for it :) the other one had a few sticky keys and i was sick of hitting it :rollpin: this one only cost $10 so i thought what the heck i'll buy one. I am so on a roll that i can't believe it :cb: i always seem to do so much better at this time of year, anyone else feel like that? my fish, chips and peas dinner is on and smells great :T can't wait to tuck in ;)

Hey Meg and Dahlia where are you? :^:

I walked another 3mls this morning :cb: and eating is on track :D Gorgeous George (my scale) better be good to me in the morning :) I think he will be ;)

Hi Cathy and Dahlia -

Just checking in before bed. Had knitting class again today. Only one girl came :mad: . More people want to start, but because it is at a shelter, I pay for the supplies - about $15 per person. I would love to get the needles back from the other 3. THey haven't shown in 2 weeks. Is it rude for me to ask for them back?

Sewed alot today. 2 skirts are done, they just need snaps. Starting a third.

Have a seminar on fair housing tomorrow AM. Then off to my brother's house to help them out. They have movers coming to remove everything from part of their house as they are building an addition. His wife is 7 mos. pregnant, so he wants my help packing stuff up and organizing, while she watches their 20 month old.

Hope you both are well. Cathy, great job on your treadmilling!

Meg

Good moring Cathy and Meg,
Meg, no it's not rude of you to ask for your needles back, it's rude of them to keep them and not come back...the nerve of some people.. honestly. IT's nice of you to help your brother and sil pack..it's a hard job. Did you go through all those new houses yet? That would be such fun...I envy you.. I love to look at houses...

Cathy, good job on the threadmill.. do you do anything else with it..? Just back from Curves. NOw off to work..I feel like my clothes are looser, good sign right? LOL

Well, have a good day both of you. Will check in tonight.
Dahlia

Hi Meg and Dahlia :wave:

Meg, I agree with Dahlia :yes: THEY are the rude ones for not coming back :mad:

Dahlia, when you ask "do i do anything else with it?" do you mean running? if so the answer is i can't run yet but this morning i did the program where i walk @ 3.4mph for 1 min and then jog @ 4.5mls for 1min :cb: did that for 50 mins which is 3.20mls :D
Gorgeous George was my friend this morning and i'm down 2.5lbs :high:

Just doing laundry, its absolutely beautiful out so i'll be hanging out my washing for the first time this year :lol:

Thanks, guys. I think I will go ahead and ask for them back. The one woman that came is being put into a drug rehab program for a month, and I am going to buy her yarn to make a scarf so she has something to work on while she is there. She is going to be doing some hard work there, and she should have something relaxing to do on her down time.

I just made a list of questions to ask tomorrow - schools, etc. ONe of the places looks really nice, and has a pool and fitness center and club. It also has a room especially for a home theatre, which is something dan and I want. Unfortunately, it is REALLY big. I need to find out how much it is. It is the only one that I have seen that we would really be interested in. We do get a 5% discount, because I work for the company, so you can imagine that it adds up to a hefty discount off the price. And I can say I bought into the development I am selling, which is a big selling point. I really need to see this other place. I don't want to just buy into our development because I am working there.

Need to clean the house, and to be honest, need to get back OP. I fell off the wagon a few weeks ago, and have gained back what I lost. I have really seen that carbs are my enemy. ANy words of support?

Well, off to clean,
Meg

Hmmm, :chin: thats the downfall with those low carb diets Meg :( the lbs seem to come back quick once you indulge :( why have you started eating carbs again? have you found that you are missing them? maybe you would be better off on a different diet :dunno: it would'nt work for me because if something is off limits then my bod decides that it wants it :lol:

Good morning Meg and Cathy,

:coffee: How is your weekend going? Mine is pretty good, despite the really cold weather. Spent the day with my dgd yesterday. She is such a character, we had a good time, then we took her home and spent some time with her brother... those two are so funny... the loves of our life...so is our other dgs but we don't get to see him near enough.

Going to church in an hour then have to run a few errands for hubby and my son. Going to an Avon open house this afternoon. Should be interesting.

Tomorrow it's back to Curves.... Cathy, you say you run as well as treadmill. You mean you jog outside? Didn't you hurt your foot? How is that doing?

Well, not much to talk about this morning.. will check in later see how you gals are doing. Have a good one.

Dahlia

Dahlia, No i said i can't run yet :lol: but i can do a bit of jogging ;) and its on my treadmill, i don't go outside. My foot is a lot better although it does ache if i try to do too much :( i've taken the weekend off from everything this week :lol: don't think i'll be exercising today :dunno: i'm gonna help hubby load up firewood. Need to put my hummingbird feeders out too because they keep looking for them :lol:

Good evening girls..
Hope you both had a good weekend.. with the time change and all I am tired already,, so going to bed early... I have been reading some interesting articles this evening..concerning losing weight,, it said that if you don't get enough sleep it messes up your metabolism.. I have not had a good nights sleep in so long I can't remember the last time I slept thru the night..and that if trying to lose weight one should drink at least 3 glasses of skim or lo-fat milk,, that more calcium lowers your appetite as well as is good for your bones. And that one should eat a snack *healthy of course* every 3-4 hours. So I am going to try to react to all these and add them to my regime.
See if it will help the scale to move faster.

The avon open house was fun, there were some ladies there I hadn't seen in a very long time and we had a very pleasant afternoon,,, it felt good to be out.. and we got some nice bargains and a free gift... then I came home and put together a wrought iron step plant stand I bought several weeks ago. It looks really nice, I think I may even use it at work for a display..then it will go on my deck.. My deck is huge and I plan to make it into several outdoor rooms this summer. I have plenty of swings and gliders and will purchase a few more chairs to go with the tables I have. It is my newest project for this summer.

Ok, well enough for today, I am heading off to bed to get more much needed rest.... will check in after work tomorrow.

Dahlia

Dahlia - sounds like you have a nice project ahead of you with the deck. Have fun with it!

Cathy, I don't know why I fell off the wagon. I wasn't even really limiting myself that much. I just need to make more of an effort. I am trying to start again today.

House shopping was great. I learned alot how people present their housing developments, and how I liked (and didn't like) being treated. When I had a mortgage question, they got the mortgage guy to answer it, and there was NO pressure. If it wasn't a loft building, Dan and I would actually consider buying there. But lofts just aren't our style, we are far to classically inspired with our traditional furniture. We are looking for crown mouldings - not exposed brick.

One place didn't even give us the presentation. She just handed us keys to go look thru the model, which was way too expensive. When I told her we weren't interested because we needed room to seat 16 for dinner parties (the size of my family), she just said "okay, nice meeting you". Not nice...

Anyway, off to waitress. Can't wait to be done with that!

Meg

Hi Meg and Dahlia,

Meg, I would prefer to be given the keys and let loose :lol: although its strange that she was'nt "pushy" at all :dunno: does'nt sound like she's in the right job to me :lol:

Dahlia, i've been an insomniac all my life :tired: i never go to bed and wake up to daylight :lol: i'm usually up every hour or two :( sometimes i watch hubby sleeping so soundly and i wish it was me :^: but i look at it this way if my body needed the sleep then i'd get it and i don't feel lousy or tired the next day (well, rarely) so i don't worry about it. How do you plan to make your deck into several outdoor rooms? :nose: does this involve builders? or do you have something else in mind? it sounds like a great idea.

I did'nt help with firewood yesterday :devil: i just did a quick 20 minute walk/jog on my treadmill, walked another 3mls this morning and i'm back to business after my weekend binge of pizza, beer and chocolate easter eggs :rolleyes: not eaten yet so i'm off for a spot of lunch :wave:

well, ladies, I need to get my but in gear.

I have rehearsal today, but tomorrow I plan to get the dr. phil book, do some shopping, make menus for the week, and hit the gym. That is my goal for tomorrow

since I bought all of these clothes (unfortunately in bigger sizes) i am selling a bunch of suits on ebay. took photos today, and I will also list of all those tomorrow.

hope you all are well!

Meg

Just walked/jogged another 3mls :tread: and i'm about to make some lunch as i have'nt eaten yet :T Spent yesterday afternoon varnishing 2 chairs and a coffee table so i've got to go out and second coat them this afternoon. I've been playing in the arcade all morning :rolleyes: someone mentioned it on another thread and now i'm hooked :lol:

Good morning Cathy and Meg,
Well I am back from Curves and getting ready to run out the door for work. The sun was shining a few minutes ago, suppose to be a nice day meaning it will be hot at work..yesterday started out cold but ended up nice...

What are you two up to today? I wonder if anyone else is still reading this thread or is ever going to post again... wonder why they don't.. not that I don't enjoy chatting with you two but it sure downsized.. they can't be that busy.. come on now... wonder if they all ditched us.. or are doing so bad they are afraid to come back... hummm if they are reading hope they comment on that one.. :lol: :coffee:

OK, I"m off. have a good one..

Dahlia

Oh to make outdoor rooms on my deck I plan to do it just with the arrangement of the outdoor furniture... it's about a 35'x40' deck so I have lots of space.

Dahlia - I know what you mean. I sometimes feel silly just posting with the three of us. Too bad we all don't live in the same city - then we could just meet once a week for coffee! :lol:

Today I am reading my Dr. Phil book, and doing some online journaling as a part of it. I really need to clean the house. I got out some old suits that don't fit (too small :( ) and am selling them on craigslist.org (similar to ebay, but not an auction). It is free to post. I have sold alot of different stuff on there, and am hoping clothing will also be a success. I need to re-organize my closet. I hate cleaning my bedroom, as it is too small, and the light flickers because there is a short in it. I need my dad to come fix it. I just never remember to ask him when he is here. Dan is just tooo lazy :dizzy: .

Once I read some more I will let you know what I think of the book. I need to get down to business, and really address some issues that make me undermine myself when it comes to my weight loss. I am hoping this will guide me down that path.

How are you two doing in terms of where you started and where you want to be? I would love to hear.

Cathy - have fun with your project. Where are you going to put the furniture once you are done? Dahlia, I would love to see photos of your porch once you are done arranging. Maybe you can post a photo for us to envy!

Congrats to you both for getting your exercise today. Cathy, your dedication to the treadmill must be paying off! And Dahlia, I am really proud of how you have made Curves a part of your daily schedule. That is how it should be. I am sure it did not come easy at first, but you seem to really have integrated it now. Good Job to both of you! :D

I will check in later!
Meg :smug:

Hi Meg,
Don't feel silly about posting with just the 3 of us. I think it's rather neat. We 3 can come to be close friends..as for how I am coming along, well I still need to address my eating patterns. But I am making better selections and slowly getting into healthier eating. But I still have my downfalls, but I don't flip out over them, I just accept it and go on...yes it took some doing but now getting up early and going to Curves before work just seems natural to me.. on the days I don't go it seems odd. I think throughout the summer I am going to keep getting up early and going at 7... before it gets to hot out and then I'll have the whole day for other things but have my basic exercise in. As for the furniture on my deck, I store it in my basement and/or the barn we have at the greenhouse. I will take pictures and get them on line some how so I can show you what I am doing..

Cathy you are doing great on that treadmill and with a sore foot. Is it getting any better? I haven't used my treadmill in quite some time.. not home enough to... but will try to incorporate it again this fall in my routine.

Ok, well just got back from work, and have to work on an ad for the local newspaper letting people know we will be opening on May 1.. it has to be ready by Monday so I need to hustle..

Catch ya both later,
Dahlia

Good morning! 3/4 of the way thru the Dr. Phil book. On my way to teach knitting. Have a good one!

Hi Meg and Dahlia :wave:

I was busy spring cleaning yesterday :D so i did'nt get online :( and i did'nt exercise either :rolleyes: have'nt done much today apart from re-pot some houseplants. The weather is beautiful and will be all Easter :cb: i've finished my varnishing and i'm now sat on my comfy swivel captains chair :cp: the other one has a wrought iron back and gets a bit uncomfortable after a while, the other chair i varnished was from the dining table Meg so thats back where it belongs and the coffee table is in front of the sofa :) i'll be starting on the bedroom suite next :rolleyes: thats a big job, a kingbed frame a tallboy and a bedside cabinet. Its a dark walnut colour and i'm going to varnish it Pecan or Mahogany :chin: have'nt made up my mind yet.

Dahlia, my foot is better now :) and i hardly feel a twinge anymore (knock on wood)

hi girls. i may not be posting for a while. one of the girls in my show (8th grader) committed suicide last night. I don't know what to do or how to feel. we need to make changes to the show for alot of reasons, and i don't even know if i am up to the challenge. i can barely function right now. today was a very hard day. talk to you soon,
meg

Oh Meg,
I am so sorry, what a horrible thing to have happened, that poor girl, my sympathy goes to the family and friends. We'll keep you all in our prayers.

Dahlia

Cathy, Dahlia and Meg -
I used to post to TPAAT years ago and just started posting again on a WW board - where I am back again for at least the 5th time.

I'm glad to see some of you still here (though I see there was a drop off, eh?) and I'll be joining you again - a sad time to join, though, poor Meg - I'm so sorry to hear of the tragedy. Nothing is worse than a child committing suicide. My nephew committed suicide at 20 - my sister has never been quite the same.

This has been my first week back at WW and I've been trying to figure out "why now?" why will this time be different and how will I get to my goal (starting weight 186 - Goal, well, I guess I'll shoot for 140 and decide then) of course, losing weight and getting healthy is my goal every year, so I haven't really come up with a resounding reason to make it work this time - which is a little scarey when you think about motivation :dizzy:

I'm taking it one week at a time and trying to do some of those things like listing all the wonderful things about being thin - it's just been so long, I don't remember what's so good about it!! :lol: I have had some health scares and I'm 51 now and wanting to retire at 55. So I think the main reason is I want to look good, feel good and be able to play like crazy when I get out of Lockheed Martin. So health and really changing my habits is the focus.

My labmonsters are 5 years old now and I really can't call them labmonsters anymore - they're sweethearts. I guess I should call them labsweeties. We go to the park a lot and as my health is improving I'm walking a bit faster. I also have a treadmill that I'm determined to not let get dusty as well as a good set of weights - and all those exercise tapes that ARE dusty.
I'm trying to set weekly goals. (All this is very easy to say since this is my first week!! ;) ) But I've done well this week with the journaling and water which were my goals for this first week back at WW.

I weigh in tomorrow and will let you know how it went. Hope none of you have a challenging Easter ahead. Not having any kids or extended family around and being heathens, we don't celebrate it - that's the good news, I guess. I leave town on Monday for a four day trip for work and that means eating out 3 meals a day. Yikes :eek: Guess my goal for next week will be to lose anything!

Well, girls, glad to be back (though I guess, I'm not glad that I need a weight loss message board.... :^: ) Take care,
Cris

Cris, so nice to have you back on the board.

well, today i slept in until noon. then i fielded a few phone calls. I just wanted some alone time, so i took a nap, watched tv, etc. there are alot of rumors spreading around, about how, and why she did it, etc. I don't want to be a part of this.

dan came home with another guitar today. he is really enjoying his new hobby. i haven't quite finished with dr. phil's book. once i get my act together, i can start up with that again.

anyway, i hope you are all doing well. talk to you soon,

meg

Hi Meg, Dahlia and Chris :D :wave: So glad to have you back with us Chris :cp: is'nt it funny, i was just thinking about you last week and wondering how you were and WHY you had disappeared :lol: sorry to hear about the health scares :eek: i'm so happy that you are OK.

Meg, sorry to hear about that poor girl :grouphug: her poor family must feel terrible :(

Its time i hit the sack :yawn: i just wanted to pop in and see how you are all doing :) see you tomorrow :wave:

Good morning ladies,
Nice to see you Chris, we can use more faces in here.. :coffee:
Sounds like you have a plan, hope it works for you this time. I myself am 54 and trying to get into better shape so I can enjoy my grandbabies. :)
Meg how is that book coming? What words of wisdom does Dr. Phil have to say,,, I heard he pretty much just copied other people's philosophy and reworded it for his own book. But I haven't read it so I don't know.. guess you can tell us when you finish reading it... :^:

Yesterday we only worked till noon, then the other girls and I went out for Chinese. Then I spent the entire afternoon shopping, I'll never go on Good Friday again, it was so busy you couldn't even enjoy it...but I bought my 3 yr. old dgd a pretty EAster dress, shoes, tights and a purse (of course) what young lady don't need a purse right? :lol: ) as she is going to Easter mass with dh and me. Then having all the kids who can come for dinner, that is 3 out of 5 not to bad, and their families. Will only be 10 of us though.
Today will be spent baking a carrot cheese cake, and cherry pie squares, and cooking scalloped potates, glazed carrots, creamed peas, a ham, polish sausage and baked beans. Add a salad and rolls tomorrow and we have a feast. We'll be eating leftovers the rest of the week I am sure.. I always make more than enough food. I also have to clean my house, the usual weekend stuff, vacuum, dust and sweep and mop my floors.

Chris you labsweeties are cute... I have two, a female that is a beagle/german shepherd mix and a male who is all beagle...the female is not doing so well. She has a bad hip, she will be 12 human years on the 19th of this month. I bought her some doggie aspirin and glusomine for her joints but she is to smart and it's hard to trick her into taking medicine. Monday I will take her to the vet, but I am afraid if it's to bad we'll have to do something drastic, I can't stand to see them suffer. So I am not happy about that..she is very close to me...

Well, I better get to work, I have to clean off my desk in the office first before I can start cooking and cleaning so I best get busy.

Have a good EAster everyone

Dahlia

Cathy, Dahlia and Meg -
Had my official weigh in at WW yesterday and lost 4 pounds for my first week. :D Too bad it's 3.5 pounds of water weight - but I'll take it!

My big challenge now is that tomorrow I leave for a 4 day work trip to New Orleans - and will be staying about 3 blocks away from Cafe du Monde - home of the beignet. I don't think I'll even try to resist but I WILL lose weight this week. If I have to exercise every morning and night and eat salads for every other meal (besides the meals of beignets!!) I WILL lose.

So I'll check in with you on Friday and let you know how it went. Have a good week.
Cris
Starting weight - this time 186/182/goal 140 ish

:T: the feast sounds good Dahlia :) we don't bother here :shrug: we just treat it like any other day :lol: same with Christmas really :rolleyes: the only thing i'm interested in is Easter Eggs and presents :lol: Eating has gone to pot because i'm so busy doing jobs around the home that i have'nt had time to plan :nono: so i've been grabbing or making the most convenient (and fattening) thing :( i'll have to get back to my routine tomorrow. I plan to get out in the sunshine today :flow1: the chores can wait ;)

Hello ladies,

Chris, New Orleans, sounds like fun.... what do you do for work? and what do you have to do in N.O? also what is a beignet, I never of that before.

Our meal was good, now I have enough for lunches for a couple days. Not really much left though considering. I am tired.. but it is a good tired...I will go rest the rest of the day,, I'm certainly not going to have to cook anymore today. Church was nice .. my dgd was really well behaved... I was so proud of her..

My dog is doing better. But now that she isn't in as much pain she refuses to take her pills no matter how I disquise them... :mad: she is worse than a kid... at least them you can reason with.

Cathy, we always gather together on a holiday no matter what it is.. we are very family orientated here and sometimes we get together for no reason at all.. just to do it....that is what we figure families are for...and if we all can't get together we at least chat by phone just to touch base with each other.
My boys grew up that way so they keep it going... when I was growing up even though I came from a large family, *IT"S a long story* my childhood was a lonely one, being the youngest of 10, they were all grown with families of their own by the time I came along...so our holidays were quiet and lonely, I vowed to myself if and when I have a family we were going to stay in touch and be together as much as possible, and we do and I love it.. as do the kids.

ok. well going to go rest now.. check in again tomorrow.. definetly need Curves in the morning.. after today... :^:

DAhlia

Hi Ladies :wave:

Chris, hope the work trip is successful and you enjoy the Beignets and nope i don't know what they are either :lol: but i'm sure they are fattening :lol3:

I've succumbed to the delights of chocolate easter eggs :rolleyes: but then again i always do every Easter so its to be expected :lol: should be out in the garden digging up the weeds so i can plant some wildflower seeds but i've popped in to post :lol: well, i came in at 11am really to watch B + B and i'm still here :rolleyes: will get back out there tho' cos its lovely :wave:

Cris, great news on the loss!

Well, children's theatre is going slowly but surely. Kids are getting back to normal. we had to add a rehearsal and move a different one because of the funeral. We have had rehearsal 4-8pm Mon, tues and tonight. I just decided I am not going tonight because there is alot I need to take care of (no clean clothes, house is a mess, no food in the house, and need to do some work for my new job.) My mom totally understood, and they are going to do it without me.

Well, time to hit the shower for work.

Talk to you later!
Meg

Meg, you never stop :yikes: i'm surprised you're not skin and bone because you do so much :) i'm glad the kids are getting back to normal it must be an extremely sad time for them.

I was a :ink: yesterday :rolleyes: played arcade games on here for hours :eek: and ate tons of chocolate :mad: and that stupid scale of mine tells me i'm .5lb DOWN this morning :crazy: that stupid thing :rollpin: you just can't trust it. I don't weigh in until Friday so i'll see if i'm holding then.

:( NO i'm not holding :lol: own fault :nono: me and the easter bunny have been best buds for the last few days :lol: i need to get rid of whats left so that i can get back on track :D will be doing firewood, pulling broom and a bit of gardening today ;) hopefully that will burn some calories. :wave:

Good morning ladies,

Hope everyone is doing good and having a good weekend. It's going to be raining off an on here most of the day so I am going shopping this morning then going to work cleaning house this afternoon and getting things sorted and ready to be taken to work on Monday.. all 4 of us women will be there so we are going to clean up the retail center and get it ready to open on May 1. We still have some transplanting to finish but it's not ready yet, so that works out well. There is so much to do and so little time to get it done, now just 8 more weeks and it's over till next season... :coffee: :dizzy: but we've been doing this for so long.. guess we should be used to it by now.. I swear each year it's goes faster.... :lol:

Next thursday is my 32nd wedding anniversary, dh told me not to worry about it, he was going to make plans to celebrate, he won't say what just that I'll enjoy it.... ;) hey I day of not doing a thing would be nice.. maybe a hot tub in a hotel room somewhere... ummmmmm we'll see....

well, I am off. My little medal :devil: is going down so slowly but I'm hoping at least it'll keep going down...I am still going to curves 3 days a week at 7 am....there is no way I could go after work, I am just to tired... and I will start getting more walking in during work,,, now that we'll start selling etc. I'll be moving around more. I usually lose during these next two months so hopefully with a little more care I'll be able to take advantage of the busyness and lose even more.. course we sweat a lot as it gets pretty darn hot inside....our own personal sauna. :lol:

Ok, I am just rambling... I need to get moving..it's so quiet in here, since we're down to the four of us.. we have to keep posting or we'll be swiped off the board completely.

Have a good one Meg, Cathy and Chris. Catcha all later.
Dahlia

Hi, girls -
I've been trying to pose for about 45 minutes! The site is giving me fits. Last night I couldn't get any of the message boards to open. Tonight I posted a long message to you (serves me right) and when I selected preview - I lost the whole thing. Just tried to rewrite it and hit the backspace button and lost it all and now the smilies aren't working. Grrrrrr. Does anyone else have problems like this on this site?

I weighed in today at WW after being out of town this week and LOST THREE POUNDS! (Picture the dancing banana, cuz I can't get it into the page!) My leader said I should go out of town more often!

:lol: WELL DONE CHRIS :bravo: i have'nt had any problems at all but i did'nt get online yesterday and one girl on another thread said that she had probs so it might just have been a saturday gremlin :rofl: here is your dancing banana :cb:

I'm gonna get out while the sun is shining and transplant some flowers and set up some pathway lights. Hope you are enjoying your day :D

chris - great job on the loss!!!

well, let's see...funeral, dan had flu, 8 hour rehearsal, meg's 35th bday party at which sister does not show and BIL leaves ten minutes after arriving, meg get's flu....I think that about covers it.

I am exhausted, even though I have slept like 18 hours. had to work today, but yesterday I went to bed at 1pm and stayed there till 8 this morning. got home at 2 and got in bed. am up now to get dan from work, and get some soup. have been on clear liquids. did manage to keep down a muffin and a slice of toast.

the weather here is amazing. it was 80 yesterday. pretty great for april.

anyway, got to go....

have a good one...
