Tina, great job on the shorts fitting looser! How many pounds left until you reach goal?

Hint for today: When you look in the mirror, forget the negative self talk and find one thing about you that your pleased with. Today I really looked at my face and am happy to say I don't seem to have as many wrinkles as most the people my age. Also, my hair turned out half-way decent today!

I'm so very proud of all of you who are staying on you eating plans and showing such wonderful progress!! The tips you all give are great motivation and I appreciate all the effort you are putting forth.
I know it is hard some times for everyone to come here with all the busy-ness of our lives. But, I always feel so much better when I take time to say hello and send good wishes to all my friends here.

I hope you are all having a wonderful day and just enjoying life.

Love you all,
Ramona

I've lost 6 of the 8 pounds I gained while in Omaha. Go me, too

[ShelleyM]

Yeah, Cheryl!! Good for you! I expect you back over at the exercise board in August!

Cheryl, great job on losing 6 of the 8 pounds!!! RAHHH!-RAHHHH!!!!! Shelley's determination and motivation swayed me over to the exercise board.

Ramona, thank you for being such a dear and checking in when you can.
How is Rick's eating plan going?

Did we lose all of our other Floozies??????

I stayed OP again today, I find counting calories works for me. I can have what I like, but smaller, healthier portions of it. I tried out the Martha Gooch brand reduced carb pasta tonight~~~not bad, just a different texture then regular pasta. I picked this brand over the whole wheat pasta's because of the extra fiber it contains.

TGIF!!! I am going to work a little late today because I am taking Patty over to her new high school to get her schedule. She is up to 30 on the waiting list at Becky's school, so she may get in yet. I really hate to buy too much at this school in case she gets into the other one.

I really feel good about the new school year ahead where I work. Everyone is so uplifted right now. I even feel closer to the principal, since I have been alone with her for part of the summer. I actually missed her when she was gone a few days this week!

Doni-I am glad you are back online.

Ramona-I know you are so busy! I hope work is exciting for you.

Cheryl-Try to stay partly OP when you go to the next seminar. You are doing great!

Gayle-Good for you for staying OP yesterday!

Vicki-We are going to start up a Red Hat club sometime this year at the school. We have about 5 ladies that are interested. I think it will be fun!

Sherry-I hope you are okay. It worries me when you are not around. You are normally so full of enthusiasm. Please let us know if you need anything.

Dee-I hope you are okay, too. I am so worried about my dear friend.

Debbie-How is everything going? Have you started back yet to work? Our cafe manager doesn't come back until Monday. The kids start the following week.

Tina-You are doing so awesome! I enjoy your company over at the exercise thread, too!

Jennelle-When do you go back to work? I know you are probably in workshops preparing for the upcoming year.

Carol-This was the last time that I will get a decent vacation, so I'll be in the same boat as you!

Exercise hint for the day:When you are sitting, standing, driving or whatever try to remember to hold your stomach in for a few seconds, then release. Repeat. Soon your stomach will get flatter, and you haven't worked all that hard at it!

It sounds like we are slowing getting back to business on here, the businss of taking care of ourselves that is :grin: We are watching what we eat (even if we are not 100% OP) and several of you have climbed on board with the exercising. I am so proud of you all!!!

I haven't been doing the best this week, but hope to do better today. I am going to an arthritis specialist today who hopefully can get me back on my feet without so much pain. Pain sure makes a person less inclined to want to stay OP. It is so depressing to hurt every time you walk. Oh well, chin up as they say!

WTG on everyone getting back to taking care of YOU!!! I can feel the vibes...we are all going to be OP at the same time real soon!!! Mark my words... I know we are all trying as hard as we can right now, and soon we will all be 100%!!!!!!!

HIP HIP HURRAY for those of you who are already there... you know who you are!!! GREAT JOB!!

Gayle: You are doing wonderful... staying OP and exercising!! Keep up the good work.

Tina: Isn't great to be able to get into those clothes and they are loose!!!

Cheryl: Good girl... losing that weight back... you will take off the rest and then some in no time.

Doni: Glad you are back. I am sure you are loving you new toys.

Shelley: I am so glad you are looking forward to the new school year, but I still need a vacation..

Sherry & Debbie: Hope all is well with you two. I miss you. Come back when you can and let us know how you are doing. I am here for you if you need me.

Jennelle: How are the workshops going? Are you back to work full time yet?

Ramona: Thinking of you and just wanted to say hello. Keeping busy sure does help sometimes does it.

Gotta run now, but love you all.

Good Morning!!

Hope everyone has a great weekend. Resting and/or having lots of fun!
Me and the kids went to visit their great grandparents yesterday. That is always lots of fun.
My hubbie got his contractors license this week and he is starting his first house on his own. He is excited and ready to go.
Can you believe August is already here? July has just flew by. It will be Christmas before we know it.
Hope everyone has a great day and wonderful weekend.
Tina
