Hi Ladies
Well finally got back on here. Between Computer not working and hubby. I just dont know. But boy have I missed you ladies. I am hoping everyone is doing alright. Well this week with TOPS I gained 1/4. But on Monday eve I was weighed somewhere else on those scales I had lost 1 1/2 lbs. So dont know. I know the TOPS scales are the ones that count. I have been either riding my exercise bike or walking. I have been walking 2 miles in 40 minutes. Someone said I need to go faster. But I thought. From not doing anything to this. I will take this. Dont want to kill myself. HAHA!!
Wonder why people want to be insenitive. I had someone. (family member) tell me. Its been 2 weeks now. And I had stayed the same. But they said with the walking you are doing you should have lost. So you must be eating too much. I have really let that bother me. And I know I shouldnt. But it has. So I have been kinda off with the eating. Not as bad as usual. But could be better. Am really trying hard this week to get back on track.
Does everyone have big plans for the weekend. We have a graduation party to go to on Sunday. Not real sure how I am going to handle this. Because they are having chicken. But it is deep fried. You can get it at Shop N Save or Kroger's. And also Meatballs in sauce, pasta salad, macaroni salad, lettuce salad (can have that) and then of course desserts. But will pass on those. So we will see.
Well I better get off here. I sure have missed you ladies. I hope everyone is doing ok. I think of you often. I guess I need to get a lap top. Then I can take with me to the Dr.'s appts. and while waiting I can check on you ladies. But dont figure I will get a lap top. Kind expensive. Well ladies you all have a great day. And take care.

Good luck on your graduation party. Wow, those foods sound tough to resist. I'd suggest a nice snack before you leave to go. Try to enjoy yourself though. It IS a party.

Hello to everyone else too. The holiday week end is nearly upon us. I hope everyone has a wonderful time and the great weather to enable that wonderful time. I'm off on Sundays and Mondays, so I lucked out this time. Hang in there and remember the TOPS pledge.

Hi Everyone

Coco...It's good to see you back. I've missed you. Sometimes exercise keeps us from losing weight. We are building muscles which in the long run will burn more calories, so hang in there and you will lose. Don't let a small gain discourage you. You can do it! I have been having problems with losing lately. The Dr. got on to me about gaining weight. I had gained 9 lbs. in 2 months, but then he realized that I had steriod shots for my back and said that would make me gain weight and cause the swelling in my feet. Now, I'm trying to take that off and it isn't easy.

Hotcupof java...I see that you are from northern WV. I am originally from southern WV. I have been in FL so long that I now feel like a Florida Gal.

Eleni...I got the pictures. Thank you very much. The pictures of Virginia were good and I will give her one and will probably put the other in our scrapbook. She will be surprised that you took a picture of her. The first thing that I noticed was my tummy. I couldn't wear any of my dresses because I had gained weight, so I picked up an inexpensive one in a larger size. Anyway, it was very nice of you to take the picture and to send them to me. I talked to Donna and she was very happy with the way SRD went. She said she tried to keep it moving... and she did. And everyone loved the Friday night entertainment.

Sherri...congrats on your new business and your weight group. It sounds like you are very busy. I know you will do well with both.

Hello to all of you that I haven't mentioned by name.

Tomorrow is weigh in for me. If I lose, I'll have the whole month in black.

TOPS HUGS

Nita you are very welcome. I just happened to have camera ready when they said your leader was coming up so I clicked away. I sent Donna a bunch too. I already have reservations for next year in Jacksonville. Hopefully I will be able to walk better by then
