Hi Girls,

Ruth, I read your post this morning & I was dying to post but I was running a little late.

Jen, I got booted a few times & got so aggravated I didn't want to do it again.:mad: David is feeling much better. He has an appt. the 25th for a follow-up. Today was the first time I could actually say I felt almost normal. This cold lingered! Still feel a little weak but that should be gone soon. I've been sort of off program the past week 1/2:rolleyes: Gotta get my butt in gear, spring is almost here:eek:

Dianne, I never went on a cruise but everyone that I know who has been to one loved it. My two sisters went last year & a few of their friends. I plan to go on one in the near future. I can't blame Willie for wanting to go bring Alana home. Poor baby:( I hope she'll feel better real soon.

Myra, come on girl. You've been doing so well a small gain is nothing. There's always next week ;) Chin up.:)

I have a slight headache so I'm going to go watch TV. Just wanted to stop by & say hello to my buddies.

Till tomorrow:wave:

Hugs,
Es

Where is everybody? Please don't let this thread die.:( I would miss you all.

Getting ready for work so I'll check in later. Has anyone tried WW online?

Have a great day! Gotta run:)

Love,
Es

I'm here but snowed in with work. Also sort of bummed by my WI, although I know I deserved it. Gained 1.8, but I'm determined to get that off next week.

No, Essie, I haven't tried WW online. Terri does it. I personally need the meetings. I find them so motivating. Without them I am lost.

Hope everyone is well.

Hi:wave:

I'm at work & don't have any nosey people around:lol:

Myra, You're right, you'll have that off by next week. I was curious about ww online only because I can't seem to find a leader that I like on my days off. Saturdays it's too packed. Sometimes you can't even get a seat.

I'll be back this evening.

Hope everybody is having a happy day:D

Hugs,
Es

Es, You're right, it's way too quiet in here! I'm in for the long haul......whether I lose or not, I keep coming here for the friends I've made :D

Myra, Keep your head up. You've had a temporary gain....I'm confident that you won't let it snowball into anything worse. You've done so very well in the last months!

Tonight is my volunteer night for the police dept., helping out with paperwork, tickets, etc. They just completed training a new k9 police dog; we're going to leave a "trail" around town for him to practice tracking.....I have no idea what it'll involve, but it'll be fun.

Jess and her family will be here on Sunday for the day. I'm looking forward to seeing the boys. We had an unexpected visit from them on Monday; they butted heads, Jess thought Brandon's nose was broken, so she dropped Matthew off here while they took B to the ER. Only badly bruised, thank goodness. I told her she's being paid back :lol:

Well, girls, don't be strangers! Have a great weekend. :)

luv,
~Jen

Hi guys :wave:

Jen - I'm with you, I'm in here for the long haul too. It has become so much more to me than a place to talk about ww, dieting, etc. I consider you all my good buddies and would feel bad if we couldn't do this anymore. So, BACK AWAY FROM THE DOOR - NOBODY'S LEAVING!!!!:smug: I really do hope that Terri returns some day - I know we all miss her.

Es - are you totally well? I hope so. And David, is he okay too? Alana is still sick, poor thing, but the doctors told her it would take at least 7-10 days for her to recover. Willie asks her everyday if she wants him to go get her, :lol:

Myra - Don't sweat the gain, girl. You will have it off before you know it. You've been doing so well.

I've been doing pretty good on program - tomorrow's weigh is, so we'll see. I do notice though that its not going as quickly as it did 6 years ago :s: Guess that's cause I'm older, but that's okay - I'll take whatever weight loss I can get.

Well, I've gotta get back to work. Hope you's guys have a great night and hi to everyone else.

P.S. How'd you like Sara Hughes getting the gold medal last night? She's a cutey-pie. I felt bad for Michelle Kwan though, but you gotta make room for the next crop, right?

Hugs,
Dianne

Hi Girls:wave:

I am very happy to hear that nobody is leaving.:D We're buddies, pal, amigas, home girls:lol: Really, we've become cyberspace friends & I think what we have is very special. I did hear from Terri & she wants to know how everyone is doing. I still don't know what the problem is with her computer. She said she misses us.

Dianne, I'm still not over this cold yet!:mad: It's been a week! I'm still congested & weak but I am doing what I need to do. Tomorrow is food shopping & cleaning day. I feel fat since I haven't had the strength to exercise. My target date is Sunday to get back to my workouts. David is fine. I hope Alana will be back to normal soon. Sarah our Long Island girl:D

Jen, how long have you been volunteering for the police dept.? That is so cool. Those K9 police dogs are so smart. Boys will be boys. Glad to hear Matthew is okay. :eek: My SIL went for her sonogram & she's having a girl. I'm so happy. Now they'll have 3 girls & 3 boys. She better tie her tubes!!!! She loves having babies & staying home.

Hope everybody comes back soon. Have a great weekend.:wave:

Love,
Es

Well, I guess it's the 3 of us, huh? The Tres Amigas? :lol:

Es, take care of yourself! Got to get that cold under control and gone. Seriously, hope you're feeling somewhat better. Your SIL sounds like she loves children. We had 3 boys and 3 girls in our family....always someone to play with, which was cool.

Dianne, I did see Sarah Hughes last night....she was awesome, totally deserving of the gold. I love the Olympics, winter or summer, and watch as much as I can. Too bad about all the whining and bickering that's going on between countries this year. Hope Alana's on the mend; can't blame Willie for wanting her at home to recuperate!

Hi to everyone :wave: Zoe......hope your vacation is fantastic!

luv,
~Jen

Hello my buddies :wave:

Lost 1 lb at wi today - YAY! (I'll take it!) Went to a birthday party today and had a tiny piece of cake (that's all they gave me:lol: ). So, its going slow, but its going. And besides, I think of the alternative - if I wasn't doing this I'd probably be gaining most every week. So, let it go slow, as long as it goes:s:

Es - 3 boys, 3 girls - WOW! Is that your brother Tony's wife? They must really love kids. Congrats to them and "titi essie" too.:smug: Now, listen girl, if you are feeling weak, you should not be cleaning and food shopping! If you don't take care of yourself, it will take that much longer to get better. So, please slow down with the cleaning and shopping - it will still have to be done tomorrow or the next day - it ain't going nowhere, lol.

Jen - You sure to have an exciting life! All that training you take sounds cool! I wouldn't want to try and mug you girl :D

So where is everyone else??? Hi myra, janie, ruth, pogo, viola, Terri and Zoe (are you back from vacation yet?).

Have a great Sunday everyone. Talk to you's tomorrow.

Hugs,
Dianne

Hi girls :wave:

It's a beautiful, warm, almost 60, sunny day here. Supposed to drop down to the 20's for the next few days, but we can really enjoy today. We're cooking a turkey on the grill today.

Dianne, another pound! very cool :cool: good job! I'm struggling again, but we are concentrating on low fat and increased veggies here, so that's got to help.

enjoy your Sunday,
~Jen

Hello:wave:

It's a beautiful day here in LI. I can't believe it's almost Spring. David's birthday is next week(Sat.). We're taking him out to eat & then we're singing happy birthday around 6:00 p.m. at his house. He'll be 31 yrs. old. My baby.:(

Dianne, I stayed home yesterday. I did get to clean at slow motion but it got done. Today after church I went food shopping with Pete now I'm just chillin. My brother Tony was in church today with Karen & the kids. They look so cute walking in. They fill up a whole row.:eek: I'm looking forward to my niece who will be arriving in July. The girls look just like my brother & the boys look like Karen. Tony & me look very much alike so when his girls go out with me they think they're my daughters. WTG with your 1 lb.!!! How much do you want to lose?Hey, who cares if it's slow at least it's coming off.

Jen, the three amigas:lol: I like that. How's Brandon? I'm struggling as always!!:rolleyes: Once I get back on my exercise routine I'll be alright. My Pastor's daughter has aerobic classes 3 times a week at the church. I might check it out. My brother trained her then she went on her own. My brother looked so buffed today. I'm so proud of him & Pete. They're both in really good shape. Just looking at them motivates to keep pushing myself.

I just got a call from Dave so I'll say good-bye for now.

Hasta manana mis amigas;)

Love,
Es

I'm back, I'm back!!
 

Hello my friends!!! I'm back, I'm back. I must admit that this is good for me because every time I've either been on vacation or away for any reason, that's when I tend to stay away from here for MONTHS.....but here I am, back again. and do I need y'all!!! I did nothing but eat while in Florida. I haven't weighed in but I'll tell you one thing, when I do weigh tomorrow morning, you will all hear me crying from where you are So be ready to lift me up ~ I'm gonna need you's guysl...........vacation was great though. Saw my daugher, my mom and her husband, my brother, dad and step mother, my sisters and their families.....so it was really nice. Oh, did I mention that all I did was eat??? Oh, yeah, I did.....

Sorry not to address everyone personally but laundry, groceries and clean up (the usual after vacation stuff) calls. I do want to congratulate all of you that did so well while I was gone and lost those pounds. WTG!! I'll have some 'catch up' to do now.

Have a great Sunday evening. Talk to you tomorrow when I cry at weigh in and START OVER. :)

Love to you all, it's great to be home!!

Zoe ~ Soaking up the "SON" back in TX

WELCOME BACK ZOE!!!!!!

We missed you. Remember tomorrow is Monday, new week, so just pick yourself up & get back on track. ;)

Happy to hear you had a great time. That's what's important.

Till tomorrow:wave:

Hugs

Welcome back, Zoe!!! Glad you were able to visit with your daughter and the rest of the family. There's always tomorrow to worry about what you ate.....just enjoy those vacation memories!
And good job on coming here in spite of not being OP during your vacation......we all know life has a funny way of interrupting itself......what's important is that you had a good break from work.
~Jen

Hey girls, don't have time to really post anything. Just wanted to let you know that even though I haven't been posting I think about you alot. Just doesn't seem to be enough time in the day.
