Morning all! Make sure you catch up with everyone's posts on #53.

Went to the nursery yesterday and bought some of the veggies for the garden....peppers, and herbs to start with. I love when the garden starts producing and I stop buying veggies at the store.

We made hotel reservations for Memphis. Next month we're going to take a nice relaxing drive for a few days. We've never been to Memphis, wanted to do a "mini" vacation for our anniversary which is June 12. Even though I'm not working, I'm definitely looking forward to a vacation! And to getting Joe away from his pager/cell phone

Hope everyone is having a great day. Have to get my walk in before it starts raining.

later,

Hey Ladies

TGIF tomorrow!! Woo Hoo.....how I wish my life away, waiting for the weekends.

Nothing new in this neck of the woods. How about Y'all?? My eating has been out of control for 3 days now but I'm not worried. I'm really headed for success, I am, I am, I am......

I hope you are all having a wonderful evening. I'll talk to you's tomorrow.


Patti ~ on my way to thin..........

Hi

What's up girlfriend? Why are you out of control? I've been there so many times but this time I tried a little harder & I lost 6.8 in 2 weeks. Without exercise I have to get back into it. I'm letting too many things get in my way but that's going to end as of tomorrow. I'm getting back into walking & Taebo.
We can do this Zoe. By the way how did you get that cute woman at the end of your post? That is just too cute!

Jen, so happy to hear you & Joe are getting away. You both deserve it. Just make sure he leaves his pager/cell home!!

Terri, Dianne & Joyce

Be back tomorrow.
Essie

Hi Guys!
Great Loss Joyce. YEAH on the bookmark.
Glad the stress test went ok. Jen.
Dianne,
Congrats on the new Grandbaby. That is so exciting. Those are both beautiful names.

Brittany did ok. with the operation. She is still sore. Her left reproductive side is non functional though. They had to take 3/4 0f the fallopian tube. I hope it ends here. She was so brave. It was a scary time though.

Catch up with y'all later.
Terri

Hi guys:

Well, the baby girl now has a name......... drumroll please, lol. It is Jessalyn Jade. They scrapped Jenna Lynn and Jessica Lynn and came up with this doozy. I think I'll just call her Jessa or Jess. But I saw her again today and she's beautiful, just perfect!

Jen - Memphis sounds like a great getaway, how long will you be there? Are you going to take one of those riverboat queen rides. Let us know how it is.

Terri - I feel so bad for Brittany to have to go though this so young. I hope everything works out well, she sounds like a real trooper, probably gets it from her mom.

Essie - over 6 lbs. in 2 weeks is great. Way to go, girl.
I weigh in tomorrow, hope I can add to last weeks 3.6 loss. I'll be happy with 1 lb.

Hope everyone else is doing well. If I don't get back here tomorrow, let me wish you all a Happy Mother's Day. Have a great one!

Dianne

What a pretty name Dianne. Congrats!!!
Thanks for your kind words.

Essie,
Congrats on the great losses.

Terri

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

Dianne, your granddaughter's name sounds pretty & different. I would probably call her Jess also. My family calls me Es

Terri, I really feel bad for Brittany. She's so young. Like Dianne said, she seems tough.

Well, let me go. I'm taking flowers to my mother's grave later. My dad is buried with her.

Have a great day

Luv.
Es

Happy Mother's Day to all! I hope the day is special for each one of you; may you be surrounded by your families and those who love you.

Terri, I'm glad Brittany's surgery was without complications, and she came through it okay. She's going to feel so much better each and every day; now she won't be plagued with the pain and problems she was suffering from each month. The medical technology and progress we know today will see her through any child-bearing concerns she may have when the time comes. My best wishes to her for a quick recovery from the surgery.

Dianne, sounds like you're already smitten with beautiful little Jess! That's the nickname of choice for our daughter also. We'll be in Memphis for 4 days. I love the Mississippi River, sounds odd, right? One of the best vacations we took was renting a houseboat and spending a week going north to Minnesota; and New Orleans, my favorite place, is on the "ole Miss". I'm sure we'll check out the river queen boat.

We celebrated Mother's Day here yesterday, as Jess is spending the day at home today, after visiting her in-laws. The kids were very generous, gave me a dvd player. I was very surprised. Now I've got more technology to deal with!

Essie, Joyce, Anita, Myra, thinking of all of you.

Enjoy this special day!
love,
Jen

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY to all moms, to all your own moms, to your husbands moms, to all who have daughters who are mom's. May you and they all be blessed today on this wonderful Mother's Day.

Happy Mothers Day everyone!!!!!!

Thanks for all the comforting words!

Terri

hello my buddies:

Hope everyone had a great Mother's Day. It sure was a beautiful day in New York. My morning started out great, went to ww and had a loss of 2.2, with last weeks loss of 3.6 that's 5.8 in 2 weeks. I was very pleased. I almost forgot how is feels to start over and lose that good weight the first couple of weeks.

Jen - that trip sounds wonderful, I know you and Joe will enjoy some time away. Willie and I are going to go to the catskills for the memorial day weekend -- that's the kick-off every year for our summer. We have a place we go to upstate NY ever since the kids were little. We'll be taking an extra day off so we'll have a good long 4 day weekend. Usually, one or two of our kids and their family will come up for a day or two, and its a great place for kids. I just want to "veg out" and sit under a tree and read a book. Can't wait.

Hope you all are doing well. I'll talk to you soon.

Dianne

Hello everyone!

Hope everyone has had a great Mothers Day!

We have been very busy the last few days and have not had time to post. I hope I have a loss this week. Have you ever had a week where everything in sight looks good?? Never satisfied??? That describes me this week!

Diane - Congratulations on the 2.2 loss! I also congratulate you on your new grand-daughter Jessalyn Jade! Happy Mother's Day!

Terri - Glad to hear that Brittany is okay!

Zoe - You are not the only one this week! What is it the moon or something???? I have not been able to say no to food! I have cleaned windows and worked outside with my husband staining and varnishing wood. But still don't feel like I've lost..!

Jen - I hope you have a great mini vacation to Memphis. And happy anniversary June 12. I quit working in May/99 and just love being at home with my husband. So I guess I think of vacations differently as well. Just glad not to be in the rat race Although I have to work now with my husband (which is not bad).
Hope the veggies do well. We love to garden here as well. I should be having corn, bell peppers, summer squash, & bell pepper soon!

Hi Ladies

What a lazy, dozey Monday! I can't seem to get moving today. I did something I don't EVER do and that is come home at lunchtime. I never do that because I won't want to go back......and I was right, I don't wanna go back. But, I gotta......

Essie ~ that "fat 2 thin" lady you asked about was stolen....by me.....from another post. Ha! Take it if you'd like. That's how I get all mine. Just right click on mine and save it to your computer. It's cute, isn't it??? That's us, all of us.....on our way to thin.

Dianne ~ WTG on losing 2.2!! Keep it up.

congrats to everyone else who has lost. I haven't been keeping up too well lately and I'm sorry. I have been flitting from diet to diet but today is day one back to my good ole WW points. I have my best weight losses with that so I'm sticking with it. Since it's day 1 (and believe me, I've gained some, I'm ashamed to say), this will be like my first week. I'm ready to go.

I hope y'all are doing well today. Have a great afternoon.

Dianne, good loss! I'm proud of you and your efforts. Your trip sounds great....nothing better than relaxing and enjoying a good book. I know I bring one with me everywhere; I usually have one in the car in the event I get stuck somewhere.

Zoe, Like you, I know that good old ww is there for me, and it really does work if I do. Hang in there! You're only experiencing a momentary lapse.

Terri, I hope Brittany is feeling better every day.

Joyce, wow, you've really been busy. I'm jealous that you will start harvesting peppers, etc., already. We won't see any till at least mid-July up here. Enjoy! I get days like that where all I want to do is eat. I've been able to maintain cause I can balance them with days OP. I've just got to get the OP days to outnumber the off days!


Essie, Anita.......hi!!!

Hi Y'all

I made it through another Monday......Mondays seem so long to me. Ha! Tonight I will go to the gym after work and then home with Subway for dinnner since Greg will be out of town with a client until around 8pm.

I made it through day one of being BACK IN CONTROL (with the help of my "helper" above of course) and it felt and feels great. It was easy too. Thanks to everyone for putting up with my complaining about being out of control. I'm okay now.

I hope that you all are having a great week so far. Talk to you's soon.

Patti
