Hi Everyone
The sun is shining here today. A little cool early this morn. Warming up nicely now. So how is everyone doing. Does anyone have any exciting plans this weekend. Me? Not really. Going to a weenie roast tonight. Our church is having it. We are also going to have a hay ride. So looking forward to that. Had my candle party last night. Done real well. Got $135 worth of free stuff. So thought that was pretty good.

Well on the Avon bit. I decided I am going to give it a try. Just waiting on the lady to call me to sign me up. I figure if I only make $20. that will still be $20 that can go to some bill or for groceries. So kinda excited about that.

SHERRI How are you doing. Hope you are feeling better. Am thinking of you.

SHORTSTACK Just because you joined WW. Dont forget about us here. I know you will do great with WW.

FLGAL How are you. Am thinking of you. Are you staying OP. Will have to check and see how you did with weigh in. But I am pulling for you. I know you can do this.

To everyone else I am thinking of you. Hope you are staying OP. Hope everyone has a great weekend.

I think I am going to check out DR PHIL'S book. Maybe it will get me motivated again. Even though it may tell me the same things I already know. I think maybe it will help. Just from what I have read on the threads and his site. But I am like some of you. If I am going to do this. I will need to go step by step. And not skip any. Well I better get off here for now. Need to get a couple of things done. And need to finish reading my messages. So everyone have a great weekend.

Coco,

The weenie roast sounds like fun. I am doing fine. The acid reflux is under control as far as the burning in my throat and chest. As for the breathing that is fine as long as I don't overdo it. Have been extremely tired but that is normal.
I am glad you are getting the book. I might check it out myself. You can do this. Good luck with the avon. If anything it will give you something to call your own to put your thought to instead of food. I hope you do well with it and have fun. The oatmeal meal bars are great by the way. I still eat them. They are 4 pts for WW.

Marilyn,

I have to say I was so impressed with what you wrote. It really hit home. I to discovered a year ago that losing the weight has nothing to do with food. It is about getting your life in order and making yourself happy. I forget that at times. I am ready to get real with that again.
Thank you for your words and good luck with the book and your journey. You can do this and remember we are here for you as well.

As for me I started back with the WW today. I have been going back and forth and not counting my points or journalling my food. I got up to 199 lbs this week. That did it for me. It was my wake up sign. There is no excuse for it and I hate being this fat. I have to eat healthy for the baby and for myself. So I am counting and measuring again. I figured if wendy, christie and penny could do it I will join them and get off my lazy butt and do this with them. I just wish I could go to the meetings but they don't have any that work for me as far as the times go. But I know how to do this and I can do this I just have to put forth the effort.

Wendy,

How are you doing?

Penny and Christie, Summer, Nita and Eleni,

How are you guys doing? I hope you are all doing well. Eleni congrats on the loss this week. It is a start in the right direction. Keep going. Are the meds helping?

I have to get a shower it is only 2pm here.LOL I have been cleaning my house again. It gets trashed all week from my daughter. Had a long talk with her today about that. She did much better today at helping me pick up. I have to keep on her. she used to do it without asking now she won't do it. I will win this battle I hate coming home to a pig sty every night.

You all have a great day. The sun is shining here and it is in the 80's so it is a gorgeous day. Haven't been able to get out and enjoy it yet.

Take care and I will check in later.

Hi Coco and Sherri..

Well, I just bought Dr. Phil's new book this afternoon, but haven't had time to start reading it. Coco....If you buy it, it's $8 cheaper at Wal-mart than listed on the inside cover. I'm anxious to get started on it. I had taped his shows last Monday and Tues and I want to give the challenge a try. I have seen what obesity does to people's health and I want to continue being healthy. We have enough problems as we get older without the weight bringing on more.

Coco......The weiner roast sounds like fun. We used to have them when I was a child in WVA. Brings back good memories.
Did the hurricane hit anywhere near you? I know that you mentioned something about it in one of your posts. I called my sis in VA and her electricity was off and she was worried about everything thawing out in her freezer and about the flooding. My brother in Roanoke also got a lot of rain and wind.
Good luck with the Avon. I know people that have been in it for years, so they must do pretty good.

Sherri...You can do it with the WW at home. You have a lot of good friends here to encourage you and can be accountable with us. You have a good attitude and you are so good at encouraging all of us. I feel like I know most of you and have grown to really care about all of you. I think having a new baby is so exciting. And you are right, you need to eat healthy for you and the baby. Take care of yourself and the little one. When is the baby due?

DH and I went out for dinner this evening and I ate a lot more than I usually do, so I guess I had better start reading that book.

Have a good evening everyone.
