Zoe, I am so happy to have you back with us. We were all worried about you! You know we are like family so no matter how long you stay away when you come back you are welcomed with open arms. Try not to stay away so long next time okay? We luv ya kiddo!

Today was such a pleasant day. We went to church then went to the chinese buffet. I made good choices. I mainly stick to chicken & vegetables when we go there. I never made it to my meeting. I weighed myself at home & I stayed the same.

Hope everyone had a great weekend

Till tomorrow.

Zoe, wait till Dianne sees you're back. She will be thrilled!

Love,
Essie

Glad to see you are back, Zoe. Don't be a stranger!

I have had 2 OP days in a row! I found my point calculator, too! Have a good week. Thanks.

Hi Zoe/Pattie, I just started posting about the time you stopped. Glad that you are back.

OUTBACK, my scale is a Healthometer. It wasn't very expensive and the numbers are nice and big?

JEN, well, school starts tomorrow for me. When do you start, the 21st. My stepdaughter has also enrolled in our community college locally, I'm really proud of her. She is 20, but pretty mature for her age.

EVERYONE have a good week!!!

Ruth

Ladies, we lost some post this morning. Hope everyone had a good day!! See you tomorrow.

Ruth

Goodmorning

I couldn't get in here at all yesterday. Has anyone else been having problems?

Ruth, is your scale a digital? I have one of those but not digital. I've had mine for quite a while. It's always accurate. I hope you enjoyed your day at school.

Viola, good going with being OP. Keep up the good work. I know it's a struggle. For me anyway. I have to take it one day at a time.

Hi Terri, Jen, Dianne, Myra & JanieD.

Have a great day. I'll be back later.

Hugs,
Essie

Hello ladies (gosh, it feels so good to be back!!!)

Just on my way to work. After being away so long, the board had to be down last night....ha! My luck. Anyway, tomorrow is weigh day so I am really anxious.

Have a great day girls. talk to you's tonight.

My post is gone. I wrote earlier. Where did it go?

Anyway. WELCOME HOME ZOE!!!! .
WE MISSED YOU.


Viola,
I am glad you found your calculator.


Essie,
Great job maintaining.

Getting nervous for the playoffs Jen? I am!!!

TTYL,
Terri

Hi Guys It's Essie

I'm on my lunch hour. Just wanted to pop in & say hi.

Terri, what do you think happened to your post. Ruth mentioned something about posts being lost.

Anyway, I have people hanging around me being nosey. I guess they're trying to figure out what I'm doing.

I'll be back later.

Es

HI evryone,
I had a fairly long post disappear yesterday. So I won't make this one too long.

Welcome Back Zoe/Patti We Missed you!!!

Welcome Outback

Jen,
No one in this area seems to have ever heard of RAD, but I haven't checked out the local colleges yet. Steve bought me pepper spray. NOw I have to get a permit to carry it on site at the lab. I always felt so safe working at the lab since we have such high security, everyone has background checks, and I have a good friend on the SWAT team. I wonder if I would have been so freaked out by this before 9/11

Everyone,
Staying OP so far this week. WI tomorrow morning.
Be cool

Hugs,
JanieD

Apparently all of our posts from yesterday were lost.....

Janie, I meant to ask, how's your elbow? Keep that pepper spray handy if that jerk comes near you again! One thing I've learned from all the classes I've taken w/the police dept....if your instincts tell you something/someone is bad news, you're right! Do whatever you need to do.

Terri, I'm terribly excited/nervous about the game on Saturday! It'll be fun.

Joe finally decided upon what he wanted to do for his 50th (yikes!!) which is on February 10th. He was debating about taking a trip, but ended up buying a large screen tv instead. He's wanted one for a while, so I'm happy he got what he wanted. The big plus is that it's being delivered today in time for the game on Saturday! Tight ends...........

I've got weigh in tomorrow, and am embarassed to say I'll probably post a gain. My biggest difficulty, again, is staying OP over the weekends. BUT, I'll weigh in no matter what, and not quit this time! I really have to stay focused over the weekends.

Have to go for a bone density scan this afternoon; I had one last year, my dr. insists on one each year since I had the hysterectomy. Plus it's mammo. time! I find it easy to schedule the yearly stuff in January.....you know, queen of the fresh starts, that's me!

Hi to everyone......Dianne, where are you? Perhaps busy during the start of the new semester where she works.

later,
~Jen

Hey Jen - here I am!!!!! Thanks for asking. You're right, busy time at university (September and January) always! Tight ends huh? no wonder you like football so much And now that Joe got a big screen t.v..........those tight ends will be up close and personal By the way, congrats on your big loss last week - terrific.

ZOEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! OMG, welcome back girl, we've all missed you tremendously. Es is right, I was thrilled to see your post. Everytime I would say "see you's tomorrow, I would think of you and say "awwwwwwww, Zoe, I miss her". I hope things are okay with you and pleassssssssssssse come back any time you feel like it - or, better still, don't leave,

Es - what's up girl? Is susie all better now? Great that your brother is gonna be at your gym.......oh.......wait a minute....... may not be so great.........he's gonna work your butt of child!

Hey Janie - have you seen that creep anymore? Hope not, but like Jen says trust your instincts. Better safe than sorry!

Hi Ruth, Terri, Joyce, Myra, Viola, Outback - hope you are all doing well.

As I mentioned last week, I too "started fresh" and went to face the music on Sunday to see the damage I had done in the last five months. Unfortunately, when I got there, the sign said "closed on Sundays". I guess they finally gave up Sundays, since not that many people went on that day. So........ I will just go this coming saturday instead......maybe I can lose a couple of pounds by then I'm just taking one day at a time, but so far, so good I think. I want to get one of those digital scales as well, but don't know of a walmart by me. I might try service merchandise instead.

Okay, wow, this was long-winded wasn't it? I will talk to you's all soon. Have a great day!

Hugs,
Dianne

DIANNE, everyone will be glad to see your post!! Enjoyed talking with you last night in the chat room, you just did miss Zoe last night. Have you heard from the new grandbaby since you've been back. I see Dylan almost everyday, but he doesn't appear to be growing that fast to me. Of course he is only 5 weeks old!!


ZOE, it was nice talking to you last night in the chat room. I'm ready to make another trip back to the Dallas/Ft. Worth area. Maybe I can talk hubby into it soon. Do you ever go to the Canton Flea Market. I've been once, it was so HUGE!!

JEN, how did you like the chat room the other night? Have you been back in there? It was pretty busy that night, hard to keep up, I hope you come back again. Most of the ladies are really nice!! Right Dianne? Enjoy the big screen!! My hubby would love one, but I'm determined to wait until our 17 year old tv quits!!! But I did get a new toy, a new Whirlpool washer and dryer, now I can take care of all those new size 7s (when I get there).

Hi, Terri, Outback, Viola, Es, Janie, and Myra. Did I forget anyone, hope not!!

Headed for the books!!

Ruth

Hi Buds

Dianne, wazzzzzzzzzzzzzz up!!! Thanks for asking about Susie. She's fine. Chubby but fine A real cutie. You mentioned about my bro being in the same gym but guess what? I'm not going anymore. I bought myself this bad treadmill(bad meaning awesome). It was $800 including maintenance for 3 yrs. I bought it since Pete's on the night shift now & we don't get to go to the gym together. I love my treadmill. When my brother starts training I may go once in a while. I love working out with him.

Ruth, Dylan must be so cute. I miss holding a baby. My son's girlfriend brought her niece over to his house & I happened to be there. Oh my gosh, what a butterball. She was smiling at me. I enjoyed every moment. You could tell I want to be a grandmother so bad. I really have to try & get in the chat room one of these nights. Maybe Thursday since I stay up later cause I don't work Fridays.

Jen, I am so happy you got a big screen TV. There's nothing like it. I've had mine for a couple of yrs. now. I have one in the livingroom & bedroom. We're spoiled. You're going to really enjoy the games now!!! About being OP, my weakest point is in the evenings. My days are too long so I have to eat small meals. But I'm a snacker. I'd rather have a bowl of frozen yogurt instead of a meal. I know, I know that's not being OP. You sound pretty motivated this time. WTG Pete's birthday is Feb. 13th & he'll be 51! He still looks so good.

Janie, sorry to hear you lost your post. What's going on around here anyway? I wonder why we keep losing our posts!

See you's tomorrow.

Hi Zoe, Terri, Myra & Viola. I feel like I missed somebody If I did I'm sorry.

Love,
Essie
