Just started
 

:?: Hi everyody :dizzy:
Just joined so I hope I'm doing this right! I joined ww 2years ago and lost 30lbs and have put 15lbs back on. So I'm willing and able to start again and lose maybe 26lbs this time. I live in Kingston, Ontario, married with 2 boys (10yr & 12 yr),work full time nights and not really into excercise. Very inspired by the big losers:cheer: in the group, yet very concerned with everything thats going on way down in the south. We are all thinking about you up here. I started Sept 4 and have lost 5lbs so far and my first goal is too lose 10lbs by mid November. Well I hope I did everything right and be talking to you soon http://www.3fatchicks.com/weight-tra.../31.6/5.1/.png

Welcome to the group, Bug!!!!!
You've come to the right place for support and motivation.
It sounds like you are one busy person, night and day.
Keep us the good work! :)

:flow1:

Hi,
Welcome to the group Bug! You do sound like you are off to a good start.

I got my haircolored this morning and ran a few errands. I came home and cleaned the house really well since I was sick last weekend. Pat's working from home all day. Other than that nothing exciting going on here.

Tammy, I sure wish we lived close to you so we could hang out and help you through this. It is silly that you can do everything else with the band. Just try and have fun and count those days until retirement! ;)

Tina, I hope your picture is great. I'm so glad it's starting to cool off a few degrees.

I can't believe I am not getting notices again. I knew you guys couldn't go three days without posting!
Welcome Bug I hope to see you here often, finally someone within a days drive. Don't worry I won't pop in.
I hope you all have a great week. I had a falling out with a box of chocolate covered nuts. Sigh! I am MAD at myself.

Mimi,
I think we have all had the problem of not getting notification this month (at some time or another). We've missed you.

Hi,
I think something is going wrong with the notification system here. So many of us have had problems.
Tammy, the whole mess sounds goofy to me. I'm glad that rep has a good lawyer for you.
Susan, can you come clean my house now?
Mimi, I'm so hungry tonight. I wish you still had some of those nuts. I've been craving chocolate. I don't have anything sweet in the house. That's not good. Today at the grocery, I wanted to buy all the candy bars---and I never eat candy bars. :dizzy:
Erin---congratulation on your loss. Every bit counts and is wonderful!
.

Hi all. Just finally taking time to sit down and read and post a bit.
Tammy, I agree with Tina, this whole thing you have to go thru is nuts. Stay strong girl, our thoughts are with ya. :)
Tina, hope things are ok with you, I'm sure your picture will be great!
Welcome Bug. You'll find this is a great group of people here!!
I've been busy this wkend cleaning and moving things around. Yesterday my back and tummy was hurting. I just knew that TOM was going to be early and this morning there it was. Bummer! No wonder I felt like I had gained. :( The scale said I lost a lb but I don't feel like it.
Anyways, I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend! I am SO enjoying the cooler temps now. I LOVE fall!! Not so keen on winter but I LOVE fall. ;)
Have a GREAT day everyone, take care......Sis :D

Ack, Tammy!!! I'm so sorry to hear about "The Incident." It makes a good case to your school board about being understaffed, if you can "spin" it that way (I know, I hate to put it quite that way, but you get my meaning, I hope). I coach a high school speech team in my community, but am not a full- or part-time employee (even though I coach 6 months of the year) and although I've never had the need to subdue a child, I do find myself holding back from touching unnecessarily. This year, all that got thrown out the window when a member of our team was killed in a car accident. Then, it was a Hug-O-Rama, and honestly, has been since then. But still it can be scary--in this litigious world, to touch a child at all, whether for discipline (even grabbing an arm), comfort, encouragement, whatever, can mean a trip to the courtroom if the parents want to make "something" out of it. My heart goes out to you, and I hope all of the parents that know you rally behind you.

Cheers! And I've got a pile of magazines to sort through, too, if you get really bored..... :)

Psst....Erin...I sent you a PM with the recipe.... I posted the White Bean and Black Olive Soup that Erin requested at the WW "Soups, Stews, & Chowders" thread...enjoy! :)

Welcome to the group Bug!!

Susan, believe me, I am definitely counting down the days!!
Thanks to ALL OF YOU for your support. The lawyer will be told about the conditions on the playground, and about numerous other things. The first day of school we told the supt. that there were too many kids out there. Some of the teachers came up with a solution to have the 3rd grade go outside at a different time. The supt. said NO. Maybe that will come back to bite him in the butt. Hope so.

The father of the boy thinks that I should have done more, and he is supporting me. (I heard that from another parent.) Last year there was a bus driver that was beating on a kid on her bus. I don't remember how long she was off (maybe 2 weeks), but she still has a job. My situation wasn't violent like that, and I've already been out 3 days. It will be 4 on Monday because they told me to prepare for a sub. There is a board meeting on Monday night. Maybe they are waiting for that.

I still feel like part of the reason it is dragging out is because of Bob's visits to board meetings, letters to the paper, and the vote NO for the levy sign in our yard.

Hi,
Hope you are having a great day. I got up and did some outside chores and then went to Lawry's Prime Rib's for a friend's birthday celebration. Now, I'm getting ready to firgure out what to teach this week.

Tammy, I think the superintendent is going to be very sorry when this is all done. I'm sorry you are having to go through this. It makes me sick.

Tina, Have you gotten your painting?

Mimi, how does Dan like his job at Arby's?

Jody, could you just make your dish for us? I'm going to check out that recipe.

Sis, hope you getting to feeling better!

Erin, do you have a busy week planned?

Evening,
It's been a nice, hot day here. We went down to Galveston and spent the day. We did not get into the water, though. Just went to church, ate lunch and rode around. We ended up at McDonald's for a hot fudge sundae. It was soooo good. I will exercise twice as long tomorrow. :)

Tammy, I agree that those people will be very, very sorry they messed with you. Hang in there!!!!!

Susan, I haven't gotten my needlepoint canvas yet. The guy has to receive my money order first. He should get it tomorrow. I'm anxious.

Sis, it's good to hear from ya. Cool weather???? It may be here by January. :lol:
Hi to everyone else here.
:flow1:

Hey, ladies!!

Goddess - thank you for that recipe - it's a bit 'harder' than I thought it would be, but, I think I am going to try it this next week. :c) You must be quite the chef!


Tammy - your life is like something out of a movie, right now. Unreal. I am praying for you and your situation.

auntie - Yes! I DO have a busy week!!! We are in our 3rd week of school, and we start our trips to the Library, tomorrow. We are also taking advantage of living so close to historic St. Augustine - and going to the Old Fort and jail. Maybe even the Fountain of Youth. We'll do that Thursday (depending on weather) - Friday evening, we're going to Family NIght at a waterpark. Lots of fun!!!! We tracked Ophelia the hurricane, and learned alot. This week we are brainstorming (well, THEY are going to brainstorm) ways to help victims of Katrina. Not only that, but they are going to act on their ideas - THIS week. Lots of fun!!!!

I'll talk to you soon!

Erin, I hope you aren't in the path of this new hurricane!!!! Be safe.

Tina
