Dianne, you're right. My birthday is April 26th but if they want to wish me a Happy Birthday 1 month earlier that's okay.
Terri, I was wishing you a Happy Belated Birthday but somehow we all got confused. So funny!
Sandy, same thing happened with my 14 yr. old nephew My SIL was devastated. Probably he was influenced by a certain crowd. They think it's cool. So sorry.
My monitor is getting on my nerves it keeps blinking so I'm going to make this short in case I lose the post.
My ankles are still swollen. Now I have to see a Vascular Specialist next week. They have no idea what's causing this swelling.
Let me go. This blinking is becoming very annoying.
Hi,
My first day went well. It looks as though it will be a great place to work. I'm very happy to be out of the private sector, and working for a municipality. The building (village hall) I work in has an employee Wellness Center, equipped w/treadmills, weights, eliptical trainers, bikes....for us to use for free, 24 hours a day. How cool is that? There are alot of employee events, awards, etc. They seem to really care, and the employees are very happy. It's almost too good to be true.
Es,
I got confused, reading the birthday wishes! It's such a shame about the swelling. Let's hope they get to the bottom of it; you must be getting impatient, I would be.
I'm tired, have to get used to the daily grind now that my time is not my own!
I guess it's my fault, Es for wishing you a happy birthday one month earlier. It's just how I read Terri's post I guess. I thought it said you and hers b-day were a couple of days apart. I'm sorry. I guess I am blonder than I pay to be.
Jen, I'm glad your first day went so well! It DOES sound too good to be true! But take it for now! That is great that you have all that equipment at your disposal.
Es - Is your monitor still blinking? How are you feeling?
Jen - So glad your first day was such a hit - I'm sure you'll love it there - it sounds like a warm and fuzzy place to work. Cool about the exercise equipment - I hope you do better than I with that. Here at the University, we have a gym and I don't think I've ever been inside it I should take advantage, but I'd have to do it after work because I don't like the idea of getting sweaty at lunch time and going back to work
Donna - how's your elbow coming along?
Sandy - How is Greg doing? Is he still talking to a therapist about his depression etc.? My thoughts are with you all.
Hi Terri, Ruthie, ZoeGirl, Janie and Karen. Have a great day everyone.
My Alana comes home tomorrow for Easter break and will be home for 11 days We'll bond
Dianne,
The benefits director who showed me the wellness center says she only uses it after work, because, in her words, she "doesn't glisten...she sweats!? so she doesn't use it during lunch,, etc. since we have the treadmill from Joey here at home, my main goal is to use it before my shower, and work, each morning. when I get in better shape, I think I'll use the center at work.
That will be so nice for you to have Alana home!
Donna,
the blonde comment was too funny. How are you feeling?
Hi...My name is Linda. I've been on WW all my life, well seems like it . And this is the first time that I've managed to stick with it! It's taking me forever, but I've lost 25 lbs and still have about another 25 to go before I'm at my personal goal. I've been doing it at home and had been having great success until the board that I use to belong to started to die out. So, along with that my motivation went out the window.
I found 3FC about a year ago and would come here for recipes only. I never realized what a wonderful site this was until I started lurking and reading all the great posts. So I registered, and peeked around some and thought that maybe I could call this forum home.
I'm married to a great man, have a 14 year old son and I'm 53.
Hi Linda,
and WELCOME!!! of course there's room. Congratulations on your 25 pound loss, that's a great achievement This is a very friendly group...we range from those who have reached goal to those of us who persevere and not give up
Hope you come back often, I look forward to getting to know you.
HI to everyone. We'll need to go to a new thread soon, but since I have a meeting in less than an hour, I don't have the time to change it. If anyone wants to do it, I won't be offended, it was never my plan to be the thread-keeper
Welcome Linda. My name is Essie but all my friends & family call me Es for short. I'll be 50 4/26. I've been married for 24 years & have one son, & 2 dogs. I've been on WW on & off for years. I've tried other diets but was never successful. I'm still struggling but I won't give up. Congrats on your loss.
Jen, sounds like a really nice job. I could never workout on my lunch hour. I sweat alot too. I've stopped exercising. I want to find out what's wrong with me first. My ankles are still swollen. I can't be on my feet too long. Very frustrating believe me. Other than that I'm feeling fine.
Dianne, the monitor is fine now. It was just that night. I think if it would have kept on I would have thrown it on the floor. I had so much water in my body that when I took the water pills I lost 7 lbs. the first week.
Well, gotta go girls. Pete is getting ready to leave for work. I'll be back tomorrow.
Linda, there's always room at the inn - welcome, welcome, welcome Congrats on your loss. I am a lifetime "paying" member of ww, which means I reached goal at one point and then unfortunately lost it again I'm back now, have lost about 12 lbs. and have another 8 lbs to reach ww goal and 13 to reach my personal goal. I'll get there, slowly but surely. This is a great group and we talk about everything including weight loss
Jen - How's it going on the job? So far, so good? I'll wait for someone else to start the thread since I've never done it and don't want to mess anything up - I'd have us on #350 and somewhere else entirely on the board - lost in cyberspace
Es - Sorry to hear about the swelling still bothering you. Wow, 7 lbs - that's a whole lotta water. I hope they find out what's going on soon and you can get back to normal.
Alana came home last night and she and I are going to a bridal shower today. My ex-sister-in-law's son is getting married and its his fiance's shower. We've also been invited to the wedding. I have remained friends with my in-laws and they always include us in special occasions.
Well, let me get going - I need a desperately. Hi to Terri, Sandy, Ruthie, ZoeGirl and Janie.
Have a great day everyone,
Hugs,
Dianne
P.S. I raised $745 for the Aids Walk in one week, so I'm now gonna raise my goal to $1,000. Its really going well.
Mi Amiga, $745!! How cool is that! This walk means a lot to me. If I wasn't feeling like a balloon I would have participated. You go girl. I have a bridal shower for next Saturday. The wedding is in August. The hottest month of the year which means bad hair day. I HATE AUGUST!!!! I have to go. Pete's already saying we can't afford it. I know we can't but I have to find a way. I ignore him cause he always says that.
My birthday is April 26th but if they want to wish me a Happy Birthday 1 month earlier that's okay. 
now that my time is not my own!
Terri, Dianne, Sandy, Donna, Ruth, Zoe
I guess I am blonder than I pay to be.
But take it for now! 
That is great that you have all that equipment at your disposal.
We'll bond 
Can you make room for one more??
