Good morning. I still do not know how I ended up with a loss. I "know" there was no reason for a loss. It had to be water gain last week and water loss this week. I go to orthopedic doc today. There isn't anything he can do but since left knee has just started hurting he needs to get a starting x-ray.
We had a good meeting. I suggested to one of my ladies that she make a TOPS board .It is just like Bingo but the squares all have things you can do to lose weight or things to do to keep you from thinking about eating. She did a really good job. Instead of bingo at top it has TOPS ending with a picture of a scale. Anyone interested I can send you a sample. OOPs time for work. I am so glad it is friday have a great day

Well ladies, I had hoped I would be posting more often since the kids are in school but it looks like the boss at work is going to try working me more often since he knows I have a sitter EVERY day ..... Can you tell it isnt exactally what I want

Anyway back to business...... ( I missed you guys!!!! )



Summer- Ok first off.... Get right back on that pony and ride girl! I lost status and then went ape on overeating and I dont want you to do the same, learn from me girl, it is not fun to get 10 or more pounds off track and then its even harder, So just perk up and get that status right back I know you can

Sherri- great going on that loss!!! I lost the same amount too last night :lol Oh and P.S I MISS YOU GUYS!!!! Have fun with John this weekend

Eleni- call me sometime soon I miss you toooooooo!!!!!

To all the newbies- Sorry i havent got to meet you all personally, i wish I was on here more, but I am looking forward to getting to know each of you and cant wait to share in your victorys in this battle

Everyone have a great day and know I am just a private message away

Eleni,

The bingo sounds neat. I am glad you had a good meeting last week. I hope there is something he can do for your knee. How is the lessons going? Hang tough.

Christie,

Hey girl miss you to. Why not tell him you have to stick to the 4 days a week like you planned. You can stand up for what you want girl. Congratulations on your loss. I am sure it is one of many more to come in the near future. I am glad you are sugar busting it again. I know that works for you. You will have status back in no time with that plan. Keep on going and don't stray from your plan. You know it works.

We had a good meeting also even though there were only 5 of us there. We have decided that Sept. 26th is going to be our KOPS appreciation night. We currently have 2 KOPS. We just got our second one a few months ago. It is a secret. I will mail out the invitation to the other members. What we are going to do is have a ceremony. It is in the programs that comes from tops. Give them flowers or a flower, and everyone will bring in a small token for each of them. It can be anything. But they say the meaning is that kops don't usually get to win the best loser and other prizes that the other tops members win. So we recognize them by themselves and make them feel special. This way by sending the invitations out. Anyone that does not want to participate doesn't have to. They can skip the meeting. I think it will be a fun night and the kops do deserve to be recognized because it is a hard thing to keep your status as some of you know. I wouldn't know myself personally but someday maybe I will.

Well I am off to the dr. you all have a great on plan day.

Sherri

Good Afternoon

I had a small loss at weigh-in this morning. Not what I had hoped for, but a loss is a loss and I will take it. If I keep trying, I'll eventually have a bigger loss.

Coco....Its good to see you posting again and congrats on the 3.25 weigh loss. Have a good time on your camping trip and tell us all about it when you get back.

Eleni.....Great loss! I guess you were on ( I do love all these new smilies). Your bingo games sounds good and so many members love to plan bingo that it will be a hit.

Sherri.....I thought that I read you had a loss this week also. Way to go! Small losses add up. I like your idea of having a KOPS appreciation day. I have been trying to think of something to do for the KOPS. We include them in everything, but it isn't the same for them as when they were losing and eligible for the best losers.

Summer....Sorry that you lost your KOPS status, but Christie is right. Don't gain any more before you start losing again. It gets harder and harder to lose. I'm sending you some today. You Can do it!!

Nancy....Congrats on the 11# loss in 5 weeks. Good Job!!

We've been getting a lot of and it looks like we will get more today.

Hi to all that I have missed. Hope you all have a good weekend.


Nita

I would love a copy of the Bingo game.

I really like the Tops group I just joined. I think they would injoy the game.

I am trying to stay focused here. My dad has been in the hospital all week. The cafeteria food would really throw me off track. So I went to Cubs and stacked up on fresh fruit and tuna and pretzels and take my own dinner everynight. I still buy a diet soda and sit with my family so it is working at least. He has been in there 4 days and so far the chocolate cream pie has not tempted my yet!!

Have a nice weekend everyone.

Christie-It's about time. Sorry to hear you are busier more now the before. Sometimes it's hard to say no. You have to do what is right for you. We do miss ya here though. just don't get too much going to where your head is spinning. Nita- great job on the loss. Just remember every ounce you lose adds up to pounds. you are doing great. Keep it up.
