Hello ladies!!

Well, I know it's technically not Tuesday yet but I'm up late so I thought I would get us started. Hope ya'll don't mind.

Went to the Doctor today and everything was fine. He didn't examine me which kind of bummed me out but my blood pressure and everything else was really good so I was pleased. I go back next Tuesday and he will examine me then so maybe I'll find out if I'm making any progress.

Nita~~ Congrats on that loss!!

Christie~~ {{HUGS}} Sorry you had a rough weekend. I hope you get to feeling better.

Hello Lara!!

Sadiegirl~~ What an awesome loss!! Congrats!!

Hello Sherri!! Yes, I've been taking it easy. Guess I better enjoy the rest since I won't have it very long huh?

Better get some shuteye!! Have a great OP day ladies!!

Tomorrow is Weigh In for our club and I have no idea until I get on the scale but my fingers are crossed. I will let yall know.
My neighbor complimented me today and said he noticed that I was losing weight...WOW>..alas ,hes married.LOL ...but a compliment is a compliment...
Hope everyone is having success, and congratulations on the losses and keep up the good work.

Thanks everyone for the kind words of encouragement. I know in my mind that .5 lb. loss is good. Any loss is good. But I was just hoping that I would have a bigger loss for a change. And when I think of it as TWO sticks of butter, it seems like a lot.
Our district is having a special election to fill an empty spot and today we're having our first primary, so I'm off to work at the polls.
I hope all of you have a TERRIFIC Tuesday.

Hi Ladies! Stephanie, I know how you feel girl! The end of the haul is always the hardest. I had two boys back to back so I was pregnant for just about two years. It is nice when you can start focussing on you again. You are almost there, and the reward is so great Hang in there

CBABE! I wish you luck today on weigh in. You got what it takes girl! You can do this. Isn't it nice when we get compliments on our success. You know then that it is finally paying off! Good luck

Nita!~ I know we always wish for more of a loss. I do too. But hey two sticks of butter, is two sticks of butter......lol Maybe you will have another good loss this week! Have fun at the polls!

Take care everyone! I did some strengthening exercising for my tummy yesterday and now I am hurting.....lol Not to mention my scale is up 2.5 pounds. But I am not saying anything......lol

Take care Penny

It's working. Another 1 3/4 lb loss today for a grand total of 34 lbs. Today is treat day and tomorrow back on the ball.
Our leader is leaving for 4 weeks and asked us to keep up with our loss and when she returns we should bring the equivalent of our loss in ( sugar,butter,flour, etc) and whoever loses the best will receive a prize.Shes going to Wisconsin... No Cheese.
Well tomorrow begins a new week and back to counting and writing everything down.I just wanted you all to know Im thrilled with TOPS and all the support there and here.
THANKS

Cbabe,

Congrats on the loss. You are certainly heading in the right direction. Isn't it so exciting to keep losing week after week. 34 lbs is great. You will be at goal in no time.

Penny,

Keep up the great work. That is great that you are doing the strength training. Stay off the darn scale woman. And don't lose that great attitude. Hope you enjoyed your workout tonight. When I get off here I will be exercising also.

Nita,

Glad to hear you are back in the game and didn't let the scale get the better of you. Sometimes we have to close our eyes at the scale and keep moving in the right direction. The scale doesn't run your life you do. Take that control back and keep making healthy choices and you will reach your goal girl. Keep up the great work and remember to get in your points all of them.LOL

Stephanie,

Good luck on tuesday. Sounds like everything is going well for you. Like penny said you will feel much better when you can concentrate on you again. Just remember to make time for you once the new addition gets here. That is important and you are worth it.

Well I did great today and yesterday. But I was adding my points from yesterday and I realized I only had 15 1/2 pts for the day. Way to low. But I am in my range today and will keep a closer eye on it from now on. I had all 3 meals yesterday and was full all day to. But it can't happen too often or I will be gaining again.

Have fun ladies and I will catch you tomorrow. Have to go exercise.

Sherri

Hi, I'm new.

Why is this thread called "Tuesday?"

Is it for women whose TOPS meetings fall on a Tuesday?

Thanks for listening

I sure enjoy coming here each day and reading how everyone is trying so hard..It helps me between the meeting s when I sometimes have problems. Then I come here and someone is always cheery and I get motivated.
So Im happy you joined us, and will look foreward to hearing from you often.

Thanks a lot.

Everyone here has been so supportive. I'm so glad I joined TOPS. Last night was my second meeting, and there were only a few of us in attendance, so we got to talk about a lot of stuff in-depth, and I really got a lot out of the meeting. I've never attended group support before... it was great.
