Hi Missy, where in Texas are you? I'm just outside of Houston. I used to have a close friend named Missy. Congratulations on your success, you're doing great!

I've been on these boards for a little while, and frankly they're great! So welcome, I've been on WW for almost 5 weeks, and I've lost 19.6lbs. but I need some friends to help keep me going!
You're doing great, just keep it up! BTW I'm missy too, but go by Melissa now! I'm in Paris, Texas which is Northeast of Dallas, on the Ok. line.
Well well well, would you lood at all these Texas girls! Missy I live in Humble, just few miles from this end of 1960. We moved here 18 years ago and I can't believe much this area has grown. I love living here, but lately would wish for sunnier weather!
Mel, my brother and his family used to live in Paris, I spent one summer babysitting for them. You're doing great too, 19 pounds in 5 weeks, awesome!
Well ladies, it's weigh in day for me! I'm a little affraid though, kind of hitting an attitude plateau plus PMS isn't helping? So cross your finger, and say a little prayer for me, I need it!
Sounds like we've got a nice little bunch here! UPANDAWAY, we have a friend that lives in Humble, and that's where we spent our honeymoon seven years ago! We've only been in Paris for 3 and a half years, before that we lived in Baton Rouge, La.
well I am a MALE texan.....who luvs these boards, although I don't post that often. I am in the western dessert area (Odessa)..hopefully returning to Dallas soon. I have been OP for 5 weeks and down 23#....yipee.....I wish people would notice daw-gone it .:
Mel, here's a happy dance for you You're doing great!
Hi Nate, welcome! You're doing terrific, too! Be patient, folks will notice the loss, when you least expect it and are least prepared for it probably. But what a feeling when it does start to happen. The important thing is that YOU know and YOU notice, keep up the great work! How are you doing Missy?
I'm plugging along. My kids kept me up all night and I just didn't have the energy to do aerobics today so I'll have to hit the old bike and make up some time/calories there.
You guys have a great day, and many many congrats again, Mel!

Thanks Nate, you're right it was a nice surprise! And as for someone noticing, I know what you mean, but it's coming SOON!!! So dress your best and get ready for the compliments!
Nate, Is it work that's going to bring you to Dallas? (if that's not too personal) We're about 2 hours from there, but enjoying going to the Mall (we have no Mall in Paris!) and to Bass Pro shop!
Upandaway, I'm with you, we need some sun! We've been getting a lot of rain too, which is uncommon because it's usually very dry here during the summer.
Well my new friends, keep up the good fight and have a healthy OP day!
Upandaway, we almost posted together! Thank you for the encouraging words, it's been a rough week and I need a new attitude! Again, THANKYOU! And you too Nate, y'all have made my day!
Thank you for the warm welcome, everyone! I truly love these boards (I also go to WW.com and DWLZ). I am convinced that they have made and will make a difference this time. In previous attempts, I have given up by week 6 or 7.
