Good morning,
We needed to start again so there wouldn't be so many pages.
Hopefully everyone had a good weekend. We went to Galveston Island for yesterday. It was fun. We ate at a cafeteria and had healthy food. Fried fish would've been more fun. We were good.

There's another tropical storm going towards Florida and then into the Gulf. I pray we don't get it.

If you are new to our threads, please come on in and visit and become one of us.

Hi, I just joined WW Th, can I come chat with you all? I am 36, mom of 3 boys (4 if you include hubby). I am a florist by trade but currently just crafting. I live in the suburbs of Reno NV. Um, I have 60 pounds to loose minimum, but we will just concentrate on 10% at a time.

Hi flower,
It's nice to meet you. Of course, you can chat here. You'll find all kinds of support.
I'll introduce myself to you......I'm 50ish with a remarkable husband and a grown son.
I live in Houston, TX. We are hoping not to get hit by the next tropical/turn hurricane. Houston is overwhelmed with evacuees from Katrina. I don't want to go through what they have just done.

We also have a Thursday Weigh-in thread and a Photo thread.
come here often.
Tina

Thx for the welcome Tina!

Flower! It's great to meet you. You have my FAVORITE flower as your avatar :c)

Welcome flower! Single Mom here 50+ years old more. Two wonderful boys, Mike 22 and Dan 18. I work in home care with mostly seniors and live in Kitchener, Ontario. 1pet Eddie white cat, with one blue one green eyes. Joined WW 18 months ago, currently going to TOPS.

Welcome flower! I'm 50, have 1 son who is a senior in high school, a hubby who worries about me too much, and a dachsund named Kramer.

I guess I should add that I am married to my high school sweetheart, and I have 3 children, a 10 year old boy, an 8 year old girl, and a 18 month old girl. I'm a homeschooler, and my husband works chronic overtime *wink*
:c)

Tammy, I want a Dachsund! I want a mini one with long smooth hair. Dream doggie.

I though counting points would be harder than this. It is almost like a game, what can I get for this many points. I do need to find more individual sources of lean protein for lunches.

I have been walking daily. I can really feel the difference already. And my bloating is gone! Now I just got to keep it up so the pounds can leave me!

Hi all,
Well, the hurricane might hit us. Booo.....
Larry has to stay at work during the mess. I don't like the thought of being alone. So, my best friend has invited me and Smokey to come up to her house. They have 6 cats!!!! Smokey will stay in our bedroom.
(I guess I should add, for the new people, that Smokey is our 16 year old cat.)

Tammy, what happened at the board meeting last night? Have they decided anything about you?

Welcome to our group, Flower!!!! I live in North Texas about 30 miles north of Dallas.

Life has been hectic here. My wonderful Daddy had a mild stroke yesterday morning. He is in the hospital and is getting better each day. Tonight my sister callled and said "he looks like himself" They live in San Antonio, I'm flying down on Friday. I just need to see him for myself and hug him. He is my world!!!!!!!! I'll keep you posted.

Plate is running over, and I can't take anything else. I'm not hungry lately and I'm not even interested in eating. Now isn't that something... wonderful if I can lose 60 pounds in a week????

Tammy, I'm anxious to hear what the board says..

Tina, now about that storm.... you are always welcome here.

Mimi, how are you doing my friend?

Erin, you are always so busy!!! You amaze me!

The hurricane is getting closer!

Susan and Amy - you know y'all are in my prayers. I'm so glad your dad is doing better.
Susan, if you weren't so far away and your dad wasn't sick, Smokey and I would be right there.
I really, really don't want to leave town.
Maybe Rita will decide to hit Mexico? I can wish.

Everyone take care.

Yesterday the supt. called and said he wanted to have a meeting with me today at 10:30. I told him that I had to contact my lawyer first. He acted shocked when I said that. Anyway, the lawyer told me to go ahead and meet with him, but I'm definitely taking union people with me. I'll know more later today. I do know they had a similar situation with a bus driver last year who was off for 5 days with pay. This is my 6th day, so this is getting ridiculous. The bus driver had been in trouble before and after that incident last year, and she still has a job.

From what I've heard from other teachers, the kids are getting pretty wild with the sub. I'll have to completely start over with them on the behavior stuff. What a pain.

Oh, the father of the boy has been calling the school board members in support of me!
It is even in writing that the parents are supportive of me. Think the supt. is out to get me?

Tammy, sounds like you need a {{{{{hug}}}}. Susan, hope your dad makes a full and quick recovery. I feel so bd for you all in the hurricane path. Stay safe.

I ate out last night at the mall food court and I was sooooo good! Steamed veggies and mandarin chicken and a bit of a steak and pepper stirfry but I didn't like that. I don't eat stuff I don't love anymore. I can do this! I will have to admit the sesame chicken was tempting as was the pizza slices, but cheese hates me anyways and I decided I better stick to stuff I know likes me and is good for me. Small victories! Oh, and hubby got me a sample chocolate at See's and I broke it open and smelt maple, I hate maple, that was easy to pass on. lol

I have walked every day this week, I love fall!

good morning

Tina, Susan & anyone else in Texas, I hope you're not in the path of Rita! Boy, you're getting a pounding. I'll be thinking of you all.

Geoff & I went to visit our oldest(Lee) & youngest(James) sons over the weekend. They both live in Calgary, Ab which is a little over 3 hour drive. We took greyhound. It was nice. The oldest and his wife bought a condo last year & James just moved down there so it was nice to see that he's not living on the street.

Nice fall weather here, it would have been nice to have some kind of summer though.

Hope you're all well
