Thanks for the welcome to your forum
 

Hey tobaccygirl, thanks for the welcome, I can really see that having a site to check in on will be a big help. I'm doing OK now staying on the SBD program but I know the day will come when willpower is weakening and that's where you girls will be such a big help.

I'm still unpacking this house so better get back to it. Did lots of walking today and will work in daughter's yard tomorrow so the fact that I didn't get to the gym as many days as I wanted to this wk will be not a total loss.

Thx again, Leigh

Hi Every one, Well the guest pups went home and we are back to normal. When my daughter went back to her car in my driveway the was a big bear standing in front of the car. He just had ripped open the Rubbermaid enclosure we have to store garbage and helped himself to a bag. Now I'm scared to walk out and walk the girls. I've always known they are out there but haven't seen any this summer.
Getting sick as my ears and throat hurt. Stuffy nose. Guess I'm getting a cold and it's not even winter yet. So I didn't go to water aerobics today, it's so hot and humid here.
Yesterday my son's girlfriend gave me a big box of Lady Godiva chocolate to say thank you for taking care of her dog. You might say we have all been bingeing on it. YUM YUM- Got to find something to watch besides the RNC cause I can't stand one more minute of campaigning from either side. Good nite all. Bernice

GOOD MORNING LADIES:) hopeing that tuesday will be a great day for you up early as I caught up on all my sleep and feel good for a change except my knee and leg but got to go on just got in from a 4 block walk with my dog who loves to go boy if she could only talk and get me motivated to walk more with her:lol: well Bernice hope it will be peace and quite for you for awhile that is really scarey about the bear you know when you hear about them and then when it happens to you that is another story right? just glad that nothing happened to anyone or the pets just be careful hen you do go out sorry that you are under the weather hope you will feel better soon well ladies drank my :coffee: and going to take a shower and face the world today going to try and be better with my diet just got to stick with it Rita:dance:

Hi everyone!
Well, the bear thing sounded scary. :eek: Where do you live?? Some friends of ours who camp had one in their campground, but I don't camp and haven't seen a bear yet. Just deer and smaller animals.

I weigh in tonight, not sure how I did. I need to lose about 65-70 pounds yet. Want to do it by my birthday in May. I have been trying to be really good this week. We had cake in the office today, but I didn't have any. :cp:

WW has a new plan but I know myself and I'm sticking to the points thing. I need more structure. So, I must be :strong: and stick to the plan. I did it before and can do it again. How has all your willpower been this summer.

I wonder why we do this to ourselves?? We lose weight and then put it back on, like a vicious circle... :dz:

Found these other great things for a snack that are kinda neat. They are called 100 calorie packs. They have oreo, chips ahoy, wheat thins and I think cheese crackers. So, the little bag is 100 calories or 2 WW points and it's great for a snack and you don't have to count out a certain number of cookies. Enough to get the edge off or the :devil: off your shoulder.

Have a great "hump day" ladies. That is not a sexual remark incase some of you were wondering.

We are all :queen: :queen: :queen: :queen: :queen: suzq

Well Bonnie, This morning was very exciting. A Mom bear and 3 adorable cubs. Must say I'm glad the dogs were not out as they would have gone after them and the outcome would not have been good. My neighbor came over yesterday and she's only lived here a year and is scared to death of all the wildlife. We have turkeys,coyote, bobcat and hawks as well as bear. We are really encroaching on their territory and I would say most of us here have learned to live with nature and appreciate it. She's ready to put a for sale sign on her house. I'm more afraid of the alligators in my backyard in Fla.
The ac crapped out and we are lucky to have a son in law in the business so he's here repairing it.
The new hurricane sounds as frightning as the first and even tho it's headed to the east coast it can change direction.
Good news with the 16 lbs, hopefully you are on the right track again.
Still not feeling great but somewhat better. Sent hubby to CVS three times to get right decongestant and cough syrup. Just like a man to not read the labels and if I took what he brought home I would have been overdosing myself. Got to go, looks like a beautiful day. Bernice

Well, I'm happy enough. I lost .4 last night. I really don't care what it is as long as I lose every week. So, thanks for all of the support. Hopefully I'm on the road to a real "losing streak" Hope all of you have a lovely day... suzq

GOOD afternoon ladies hope your day is going well for you Bonnie you probably did loose that pound by now knowing how hard you maintain your swelf have to have a total now on my one knee and in a few yeras another one I really think that it is how your attitude is on the road to recovery with me I am mostly scared as you know I work in a hospital so I see a lot that werent a sucess so really just scared trying to hold off until I can retire the way the hospital is right now if you are off for a peroid of three months or morethey dont hold your position on your floor so when you do come back and if there is a position open on another floor you can bid on it and since it is a small hospital not to many positions come open did have some prior surgery on it a couple of years ago at tornminincus also and arthritissooooo live with it for now Bernice hope you had a chance of taking pictures of all the wild life that you see Suzq:cheers: :cheers: on tht weight loss now you are on your way just keep it up what you are doing well ladies have a great day Rita:dance:
