GOOD MORNING LADIES!!!

Hope everyone had a warm night. The country sure has been in the deep freeze! The only good thing about it is that shivering does burn extra calories.

I was so thrilled that I lost 1/2# last eve. I needed that to boost my spirits. I have done nothing but gain since July. This WILL be the start of my renewed journey. My body would certainly thank me.

Sherri, I'm thrilled that you like the challange of your job. Certainly helps keeping the mind busy and you're not even missing the food. As long as you don't feel the hungar, you are fine.

Wanda, hope you have a loss tonight. You are doing great!

Wendy, sounds like you are changing job descriptions. Hope things work out well for you and it is easier on your hands. Good for you getting back to your exercising. Good going on your turtle too!

Liz, Don't worry about your gain. You will get it off. Not exercising eventually does catch up to us with the scale.....but wearing the same 'uniform' every week also keeps the weights consistant.

Virginia, Nice loss! YAHOO!!!!!

Linlin, I have heard that stressed muscles tend to retain fluid for a short while after exercising. I too gain weight after exercising, so I don't do it on meeting days. Keep up you good work.

Eleni, Are you ready for weigh in tonight? Sounds like you are doing well....and yep, if you need that extra reinforcement, go for it. Thank you for the nice note and 'goodie'.

Nita, Hope you're doing well. How many from your chapter go to SRD? Definitely something to look forward to.

Have a great day everyone and hope some of our MIA's or lurkers stop by and say 'HI". Here's some SUPER CHARGED {{{{{{VIBES}}}}}} passing your way. I'm toasting you all with my water glass. <clink> and <chug-a-lug>

TOPS Hugs,
Summer

Looks like the cold weather is going to hit everyone. We are suppose to be in the teens in some parts of Fl tonight. It has been a stressful week plus I have been sick with a bad cold since yesterday. I would like to stay home but can't. I just try to make it thru the day and hit the bed when I get home. Hopefully I will have some kind of loss. Stay warm

I can't wait until SPRING! It is so cold lately, actually today it has warmed up a little bit. Yesterday it was -35 I think with the wind chill. BBBbrrrrrrrrrrr! On a positive note, in less than two months it will be officially Spring.

It's - 17C without the windchill here. We are supposed to warm up a bit this weekend and then go right back down again.

Thanks for all the comments on exercising.
Maybe my muscles are swelling and retaining water when I exercise. Usually I do lifting weights before my meeting. That sounds like a good excuse and I am sticking to it. Had a bad day of eating yesterday. I ate at my mom's and had pizza and some junk that she bought for the kids. Then I had a huge bowl of ice cream later. Oh well, back at it again today.

Have a good day every one.

Hi Everyone,

I just typed in a long message and then lost it because of the high traffic load and server not being able to handle it. I'm not going to type it in again, but I did want to wish all of you that weigh in tonight, good luck. I hope that the scales are good to you.

Nita Don't you just hate that. It has happened to me several times. Stay warm

Good Evening Ladies
Hope everyone is staying warm. Sure has been cold. We have been having 2 hour delays all week. They already annouced a 2 hour delay in the morning. So son is happy. At least this way they dont have to make up the days.

Eleni hope you get to feeling better. Hubby still has his cold. Took him back to the Dr's Monday. Gave him another round of med. Said if he isnt better by Tues. to take him back in. They may do a chest x-ray.

Wendy. Hope your job goes well. Hope your hands are doing better.

Sherri. Hows the new job going. From what i have been reading on the board. Sounds as if you like it real well. That is great. I am really happy for you. Good job on the loss. Keep up the great work. You will be to goal before you know it.

Summer. Congrats on the loss. Weigh to go. I know we are suppose to drink water. But with it being sooooo cold. I am having a hard time drinking all my water. Been drinking some of it but not all. Have been drinking a pot of green tea a day.

To everyone else. hope you are all keeping warm. Hope everyone is staying on plan. We can do this together. Well I am going to go and make me some hot cocoa. No marshmallows though. Hope everyone has a great night.
