Terri,
Oh Yeah! Survivor Night! LOL I know I'm sad....I actually plan dinner so that we're sitting down to eat right when the program starts. (We tend to eat later on Thursdays :lol: ) Did you see the host, Jeff P. on The View? One of the women is deaf, but didn't want the men to know; should be verrry interesting.

OMG the 3 Mile Walk? I'm still trying to get thru the 2 Mile without puffing. It is working, however....I have noticed that I'm feeling much stronger and less bloated. My double chin is going away and jeans are fitting looser. :D Can't wait till they're too big; also have to be patient...I have to remember I didn't put the weight on overnight, it's crept on slowly.

Hi :wave: to all...Dianne, how's it going? Ruth, how are your classes going?

Es, Janie, Sandy, is Monday the weigh in day for all of you in the Challenge? just curious.

see you later,
luv,
~Jen

Jen, I am doing the challenge as well. I will weigh in on Monday also. Congratulations on loose fitting jeans and saying good bye to that double chin! It's a wonderful feeling to FINALLY feel that way. I did real well last night and refused the cheese cake and stayed within my point range! :cb: :dancer: I do not watch Survivor I don't know why it just never appealed to me like it has many other viewers. :shrug:
Elena is back in school today. She still has some congestion but her temp is at normal now and she could only complain of being sleepy this morning! :lol:
I am busy this morning blessing my house. I want it to be nice when my dh comes home tonight. ;) I hope his flight is non-eventful. If you know what I mean.
Es, just wondered why you had asked how much I weighed before. :?:
Good day to everyone! I will check in later.
:wave:

HI gals,
I am doing the challenge but I think I am going to keep my WI day on Thur. I tend to not do as well OP on the weekends so I would rather not WI on Monday. I hope that is ok with everyone. BTW I lost 1/2 lb, not a great start for doing 10 in 10 but it's better than a gain!!!

I have a question for those of you who have been here longer than myself. WHen they say no advertising, what exactly do they mean. I felt uneasy yesterday when I was talking about the Kruteaz brownie mix. WHere do they draw the line between endorsing a product you like and advertising? (I know Jen I'm being analytical again :twirly: )

I have counseling again tonight. WIsh me luck,

JanieD

Donna,
I'm sorry I didn't include you in the Challenge :( it was an unintended omission! Way to go on passing up the cheesecake. Glad Elena's feeling better.

Janie,
congrats on the loss! Don't worry about the advertising thing...I have seen posts in which someone goes on and on about a new product they've found, and included a link...it then becomes apparent that they're posting on boards as a way of free advertising. That's definitely NOT what you did!

~Jen

Jen, I didn't take it personally. I just figured you were like me and having a hard time keeping up with everyone! :)

Janie, I agree with Jen. I think if you were selling something like a vitamins or even a diet plan and you purposely put a link to that site then that is advertsing and that kind of thing is not allowed. Too many people take advantage of free advertising. That is why there are those pop ups to help pay for this site. And if people advertise on the threads then that's actually in a way taking money away from the advertisers who pay to be there. Does that make any sense? Hope your session is good today!

Hi:wave:

Today was the longest day of my life. (exaggerating) I have a clock by my computer at work which I realized today is a BIG mistake. Anyway, thank God it's Thursday. Pete is off today & tomorrow then he has weekends off.

Donna, I didn't ask how much you weighed. :?: I asked you your height only because we have the same goal weight. I think asking someone their weight could be offensive so I never ask. The other day Pete was weighing himself & he asked me to hop on:yikes: He knows what I'm going to say. I think he tests me. Probably hoping someday I'll give in. NEVER!!!:lol: Good to hear Elena is feeling better.

I never watched survivor either. During the week I watch my soaps then weekends we usually rent. Is anyone a member of Columbia House?

Janie, congrats on 1/2 lb.:dancer: I hope your session goes well.

Terri, you're doing the tapes also? Still doing Bowflex?
My brother has the Bowflex in his gym.

Jen, I can't wait till my double chin disappears.
I'm going to try to be good Saturday. Cake & ice cream:T

My weigh-in day will be Mondays.

Well, let me go spend some time with the birthday boy.:hb:

Love you's,
Es

Es, my mistake.. You did ask me how tall I was not how much I weighed. I knew that I just typed out the wrong thing. I'm so sorry :sorry:

Hi all!
Jen,
Did you see Survivor? I wanted those girls to win so bad. That was great! The guys were a tad cocky!!!!!!!!! :lol:
Congrats on the jeans. That is wonderful.
Keep it up.

Donna,
Glad Elena is doing better.

Janie,
Congrats on the LOSS!!!!!
I would never weigh on Mondays either. On the weekends I would stay OP but I would eat more salty things that can register temporary water weight. Weighing before the weekend gave me a little freedom to eat chips or Chinese or something that I would never eat 2 days before weigh-in. It would all be OP but that temp. water weight can be a de-motivator.

Es,
Yes I do the Bowflex. I want my arms to look good.
Hope you can relax this weekend. Tell Pete HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!
I don't belong to Columbia House anymore. The last time was when I got the big ALBUMS. :lol:
I bought My Big Fat Greek Wedding and we are watching it tonight. Can't wait.

For Valentines Day Bruce got me a Hotel Room for 2 nights. I want to take Britts the first night ( We have fun kind of like a slumber party) and then Bruce will pick her up and take her home Sunday and come back in a bout 3 hours with a romantic dinner. He will stay a couple hours and then I get the rest of the night and the next morning by myself. I love when he does this.
He also got the family a gift for Valentines Day but he won't tell me what it is yet.
Have a great Valentines Day!

I wrote a long post before with all different colors then my computer froze & I lost it!!!!:mad:

Happy Valentine's Day!

Love,
Es

Happy Valentines Day !!!

Hope you all have a great day!!

-Janie

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!

We've rented movies for this evening, My Big Fat Greek Wedding is one of them. I've been wanting to see it. So we'll have a nice evening of cuddling and vegging.

Terri,
that's so neat how Bruce does the hotel gift for you. Enjoy! Go Chicks! (on Survivor :D )

They've been predicting a snowfall of up to 6 inches tonight for a day or two, but have now downgraded it to only 3 :( too bad for all the kids. The sleds, etc. are all marked down in the stores...no snow!

I purchased all new handles for my kitchen cabinets; this weekend I'll wash them all down, polish them and replace the handles. A nice facelift, and a good workout for me :lol:

~Jen

Goodmorning:wave:

How was everybody's Valentine's Day? Pete bought me this beautiful card. I get all emotional with cards. Pete & David laugh at me. He also bought me 2 christian cd's. Dave got me flowers. I love those guys.

It seems like David fixed the problem with my computer. Thank God I have a computer technician.

Donna, you don't have to be sorry.;) It's hard to keep up with all the posts.

Terri, what a nice gift. Bruce sounds like a great husband & father.

Jen, how did you like the movie? We saw it in the movies. The part about the bundt cake made me laugh so hard.

Today I'll be very busy so I won't be back till tomorrow.

I want to wish everybody a nice weekend. Oh Jen, BTW no snow! We didn't get anything! How about you?

Till tomorrow.

Love,
Es

Hi everyone,

Es,
thought Greek Wedding was funny; watched Sweet Home Alabama, that was just okay. Joe stayed up to watch Bloodwork w/Clint Eastwood, but I fell asleep. He said that was good. If I have time today, I'll watch it. I cry over cards, everyone thinks I'm nuts.

Hope everyones' Valentines Day was nice. :wave:

later,
~Jen
