Hi Girls!

I thought I would get us started this week. It's with a heavy heart that I'm posting tonight. My Grandma died this evening. She was a wonderful person and lived a long, happy life. She was surrounded by her girls (my mom, me, my aunt, and my cousin) and a lot of other family. It was expected, but I don't think it has hit me completely still.

I did weigh in with a 2.5# loss this week, so that was some good news.

Hope everyone is doing well, I'll be back later in the week.

I am not a WW'er but read your post and wanted to say I am sorry for your loss.

My daughter and I are doing it together. She does not have anything to lose but she was nice to do it with me. Its always better to have a buddy.
Good Job to everyone in this battle.

I am new here but I just wanted to tell you how sorry I am for your loss.

Even if it was expected it is never easy. May your family and faith give you strength during this difficult time and please know she is always with you.


*hugs*

Hello friends!

Mom2 - lots of hugs & love & prayers coming your way! Good job on that loss! I will be thinking of you this week as you do all the final preparations for your loved one! Remember - she'll be waiting at the gates when you get there! (which better not be for a long time!)

Vacation was good! I'm glad to be back to work! I needed the rest and the routine!!!!!!! Mom2 - we went to Erie Pa to the casino's where I spent $60 bucks and won $257.00 bucks!!!! Wooooohoooooo Then weds. we went out east to Harrisburg (about 5 hours) to a couple of "unique" stores for my husband who is a star wars collector of vintage and new stuff! Then friday - shopping for me! Woooooohooooooo again! Has anyone ever shopped at an AVENUE for Women? MMmmm, I realllllllllly liked it! So much, I opened an Avenue Charge! Yikes!!!!
Has anyone read that book - Confessions of a Carb Queen? I did on vacation. As I read it..............I felt like it was me and I hated myself!!!! I had a hard time focusing on it!
Anyways, I'm at work and I gotta scoot! Just wanted to say hi!
Take care!
Drink your water, eat some veggies, and shake that booty!!!

Confessions of a Carb Queen that book was reviewed here right?

I just wrote the longest post and lost it! It's probably the board's way of telling me to put a sock in it! LOL

So, to summarize...

Thanks for all of the nice words, you chicks rock!

Jeanne - - sounds like vacation was fun, that book is on my list of ones I want to read

Welcome to the new folks! Violett - - I love your name, are you a Femmes fan? (If not, that probably makes NO sense whatsoever)

Ok, I'm off to bed. The really long post may get reposted tomorrow if I have time. Have a good week everyone!

I'm so sorry for your loss. Even when it is expected it's still very difficult to come to terms with.

I lost my father VERY unexpectedly about a month ago. It still doesn't feel real but it does get better each and everyday!

Hi all I am "new" here . . . at least new right now. I did WW 3 years ago and had a lot of success, then got way off track and here I am again

My name is Leigh. I am a SAHM to one son named Liam; and have a wonderful DH named Jonathan.

I am doing WW at home - online. I would love to join your group if y'all would permit me to

Mom2QJandT - I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your grandmother. My prayers are with you and yours.

Hey - a quick question for y'all - if I am doing the online WW, do I have any need for an at-home kit?

I calculate/enter points online.

Let me first start off by saying We are so sorry for your loss. Our hearts and prayers are with you and your family during this time.

On a different note, I did my WI today and I was down another point but not sure if it accurate (it is almost like I was retaining water and now I'm not). Very strange.....all is well here. I'm looking forward to going on vacation at the end of the month. My parents are flying in from TX and I need some family time plus the break from work.

My kids are driving me nutz....as usual. I love them very much but they just seem to keep pushing those buttons. The good thing though is that I no longer eat "junk" when they stress me, which is a big hurdle for me. I'm slowly learning how to cope with my stressful situations by doing something other than eat. Don't get me wrong I deal with it everyday that battle of oooh I could just eat one cookie (which I know will be more like 4/5) but it's definately work.

Better get as I'm finishing this up at work. Take care and take it one day at a time. And Welcome to all of you who are new.

Happy Thursday everyone I am doing okay today. My WI is tomorrow and I am kind of anxious about it. But we will see.

JET - congrats on breaking 200! That is awesome.

Briana - that is sooooo good that you are down a pound! I say take it however you get it LOL.

DH and I went away for our 6th wedding anniversary and got back into town on Tuesday evening; so the rest of the week has been sort of hectic with me trying to catch up.

Hi! That was me................................Did you read it? What did you think?
