Wednesday Hump Day!
 

Hey Ladies,

I am so glad today is a new day. I did great yesterday and I am so happy because of it. I was under points again. I won't continue to do that because I know it is not good. But few days out of the week won't hurt especially since I have not exercised. I am hoping I will be able to go to the gym on monday (if I lose weight this week). Lets all cross our fingers. I have done great all week but friday so I should have a loss. My scale is down 2 lbs so we will see. It is never the same as the tops scale.
I woke up with a sinus headache today. So I am treating that again.

Hope you all have a great day.

Christie how are you doing girl. Talk to me I will be here tonight hopefully I will catch you.

Sherri

I am doing pretty good I guess, I am back on SB today and we will see what Thursday shows... I know it wont be good, But oh well I am stating over and have to face the first weigh in I guess LOL, Sounds like you are doing just great, I am so glad, I will try to call you later...what time would be best??? Well guys I am off to work, Wish me luck also, getting back into the swing of things isnt as easy as i thought it would be :lol:

oh eleni- loved your pics!!!

Hello Everybody!

Down 2.5 lbs. at weigh in, Wahoo!! 25 weeks for me.

Everybody was in a really up mood last night and our program was beautiful. We all wrote a promise we could keep on a small piece of paper. Then we gathered in a circle and one by one we went up front. Our leader handed us a flower and our co-leader handed us a candle. As we lit the candle we stated our goal for the year. My goal was to become a KOPS. I said it, so now I have to work doubly hard to make it happen. Our oldest member said hers was to stay alive, we roared! Most vowed to exercise more, or drink more water, the best vow was the woman who vowed to be the best supportive TOPS person she could be and to live by the TOPS pledge. Cool pledge, huh? We got 3 new members too!

My friend (who talked me into joining TOPS) has decided to get very serious this year, so I am making her a recipe book of all her favorite things that I make. I am also whipping her up a batch of this frozen stuff I eat, to help her through that rough starting out patch.

Donna
Loved the poem!
Eleni
Could you repost your Starting Over poem that Sherri mentioned?
You are one lucky lady to have such a big family and all so close to you. Sometimes I miss mine so much I could cry.

Sherri,
You are doing great! Keep up the good work, you and Megan will be Bikini Babes in no time! I was really proud of you for coping so well yesterday, atta girl! It is so hard to break those cycles, but it gets easier every time we succeed, so stick with it. I am rooting for you girl, just remember how utterly cool and beautiful you are.

Summer,
Where are you? I miss you!

Nita
My prayers are still with you, hope everything is OK.

Claire,
How are you doing?

Christie, Good Luck! SB=Sugar busters?

To All

Have a Wonderful Wednesday!

CC

Good afternoon, seems most are doing pretty well.
Eleni-great pictures
Sheri-hope all is ok with you, I'll email ya.
Christie-you can do it
Flatlander-great job.

I'll check with you guys soon

Hello Everyone!!!!! Here's a dose of the long lost {{{{VIBES}}}} to help us over the 'hump' in our day. We're going to have A GREAT DAY!!!!!!

Eleni - nice that the photo's went on. You are blessed to have a large family....but then again it's even larger than that.....'cause you're stuck with us here!!!! Keep doing well with the amount of food you eat and you will show those losses. Loved chatting with you!!

Donna - I wish I had had the poem for a visit to another chapter last night. That would have been so cute. Thanks!!

Sherri - Sounds like you are having a better day, even though you have a headache. You are doing so well with your program. Stay away from extremes so you can stay on track. That is what throws me off. Have you seen the nutritionist again? I'm sure it's all sensible eating like the WW and TOPS exchange and Richard Simmons. HOw many days a week are you working now??

CC - WOW WOMAN.........YOU ARE AWESOME!!!!!! What an inspiration you are to all of us....2.5#'s this week and 25 weeks...and going....and going....and going! Just like the enegizer bunny!! Somehow I think you'd like cuter in that bunny tail than him!! ROFLMAO!!!!! Speaking of cute, my DD says your son is. She goes back to college Sunday and I'll miss her. She has worked since she's been 14 so luckily didn't feel the urge to work full time instead of continuing her education. I hope your son does go to University...I'm assuming in Calgary. Have a cousin that lives in that area.

Ciecie, Wendy, Penny, Nita, Claire, Christie and everyone else - Keep doing well and we do miss hearing from you more often. Love the one big happy family here.

I had a great time at visiting a neighboring chapter last night. They had a lovely quarterly awards program. A lot of things I never thought of, but instituting them in mine would probably be unappreciated...should try though, right? They made my day, giving me a homemade craft and one of the 'collars' that members attach their charms and pinettes to. I was thrilled to get that since I have strung my bracelets together into a necklace and it is so heavy that it hurts my neck. Now comes the chore of attaching them all.

Don't think I will go to my meeting tonight. This is the last evening that DD will be home for supper before leaving for college. [All her other eves are planned]. I have given soooooo much to my chapter for sooooo many years that I am going to put her first tonight. Plus, I'll admit, I'm afraid of what the scale will say again. I know I will be out of leeway. I really have to pull in those reins, but it won't happen until I stop buying those great 'clearance' items, right Eleni?????????

Have a wonderful evening. Don't forget that water, it really does help!.....and those {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{VIBES}}}}}}}}}}}}} [pom-poms are wildly shaking too!!!!!!]

TOPS Hugs, Summer

way to go flatlander
 

I'm assuming when you say 25 weeks you are meaning 25 weeks with a loss. Anyway you are doing wonderful. Really it sounds like the whole group is back into the swing of things.

faith

Good Afternoon all,

CC
Congratulations on 25 weeks of losses. You are doing awesome.

I have my first weigh in for the year tonight and I will probably have a gain, but I am hoping for a turtle. Even if it is a gain that is okay as I need to get back on track.

I will post it on the challenge thread tomorrow.

Donna,

I am going to print that poem and take it with me tonight. I am sure that my group will like it. It gave me some inspiration and we can all do with some of that. ;)

Hope everyone is having a good day and staying OP. I am trying, but it sure is hard after the holidays.
