Good Morning Snow Angels,
Wow are we cooking or what?? Everyone up and smiling on a bright and happy day!! Don't you just love the early mornings and all the bright sunshine whether you can see it or not??? I sure do. ( I know it is Sunday night but I am projecting)

Had 2 good days on program and got down 64 oz of water each day!! Wonderfulllllllllllllllllllll I even surprised me. My secret I use Dj's chart and it makes it easy to check each glass of water as I go!! I know but I love charts!! I am surprised I didn't think of it myself!!!

Okay now how is everyone doing? On your program and reaching for that December goal?? I had some doubts about me for a few days but not now!!!!!! No sir ree bob!! I am going to do this and I will be down those 25 lbs no matter what. I am going to do it by doing the following:

1. Stay on lower end of points
2. Drink 64 oz water a day!!
3. Exercise 5 times a week/or walk when I am able to
4. Have faith in me and my abilities
5. Reminding my family that I love them very much

I learned something about me yesterday. Well I do every day but yesterday was unexpected. I realized since I had quit WW I had been struggling. I don't know why it is so important for me to be in WW but it is. Sooooooo I rejoined. I felt better immediately. So for now I am in need of being in WW's and that is okay. I am just glad I realized what was missing!! Sometimes we need to have someone or something to lean on and that is okay!!

Well it is still Sunday night late and I am just getting ready to trim my hair but I wanted to post this first!! Around noon tomorrow I am getting and MRI done. I am so anxious about it but I am trying to keep calm. YIKES A CALM LIZZIE I DON"T THINK SOOOO
Yep I am taking a xanax tonight after I shower and trim my hair!!
Otherwise I will be in a trance by the time I get to the clinic/hospital. I have claustraphobia reallllll bad!! So they are going to give me meds to relax me. Better be a BIG dose!!

I am off now to get ready for bed!! You all have a super night and a wonderful day Monday!!

I will be back to to tell you if i was able to get my MRI or not!!
Love and hugs to all,
Lizzie

Good morning Lizzie and gang!

Lizzie, you'll be in my prayers today as you go for your MRI. My friend Dee, has the same trouble. I pray that God will go before you, preparing the way. May He hold you, comfort and calm you and bring peace.
The last time I went to the dentist, I asked him to sit in the chair and hold me and don't let 'em hurt me.....I'm a big baby, what can I say? My girl, Laura did that too and said it helped immensly. My nickname is Needle Weenie for a good reason!

I got my reservations made yesterday for the Park! YAY......I'll be going up Mon. Oct. 21st, come home Thurs. 24th. I will be ready to play when I come back!

Thanks Lizzie.....for the input on John-ster. He did call me at work yesterday. Issue resolved. As I suspected, he admitted, he'd had too much to drink and "overstepped the bounds". He said he wasn't ready or looking for a relationship and may never be, he knows I wasn't playing him (my concern) and didn't mislead him. We agreed we enjoyed one another's company and he said we'd spend some time together again......I told him I won't call him anymore......if he wants to talk, he can call me.....and left it at that. I felt SO much better........all he had to do was spend a couple of minutes SAYING what's up. Maybe I'm too mouthy? I just want it said/done and OVER! LOL!

Thank you, thank you!:bow: I was SO excited to see that 200! I know you couldn't tell! I have added incentive to get my walks in and step up......to a smaller plate! LOL!

Lizzie.....I know what you mean about needing WW right now. I feel I have no "structure" if I'm flying solo. It's SO wonderful, having so much information, inspiration and input.....at the touch of a few keys! Now....if I can FIND it after printing it!
YAY!! Another music freak!! Wonderful! And I must say you have EXCELLENT taste....as it's JUST like MINE! The Boyz do take good care of me!

Mari, my heart goes out to you sweety. You are a beautiful girl with a precious spirit......hold fast to the knowledge that time will heal, the sun will shine brightly for you again......look up and out.....a new day dawns..........a new beginning arrives each morning. God sees and understands, love. You are never alone.

OK chickadees...........where's our girl-illa team? Lets' knock socks off this week.....well SOMEBODIE'S.........I'll do my own I suppose!
I'm gonna hit the track in a few and am so glad I can. Just yesterday, I thanked God for the gift of mobility. I have dear friends, most of 'em real.....some of YOU too,(dear friends.....and REAL!) who have chronic pain and aren't able to do everything you need and want to. I know AGE has NOTHING to do with it right? I mean Idella is ONLY 75, Mom is ONLY 67, Pat is ONLY 66, I'm ONLY uhhhhhh 35! You guys are Spring Chicks....right??

ARRRRRG#@&^%$*&............I had the volume up on my speakers listening to a CD....had taken it out and this LOUD, BOOMING voice said "YOUV'E GOT MAIL"....scared the crap out of me. I didn't cuss.....that's a good sign, right?

I did NOT get the carpets cleaned, all my water down yesterday or extra exercise done........the elbo to mouth doesn't count, does it? But the rest went pretty well......I had a good day over-all. I will apply myself TODAY and focus, FoCuS, fOcUs..........on me and my needs.

Today I will:

drink that water (80 oz)
stay OP
clean frig
spot clean apt.
organize my desk area........where IS my desk?
Get my walk in
be thankful: I am SO blessed!!!

Have a wonderful week everyone. Be good to you....take 30 minutes (at least) each day to reflect on YOU and the things that bring you joy, lighten your heart, make you smile. Enjoy yourself, be good to yourself.........you deserve the BEST each day offers!

Brenda:D

Geeeeeeze Wooooooweeeeee Bren do you even go to bed??? Hahahaha I know you are up before the chicken crows or does the rooster crow?. Well I know SOMEBODY crows!!! Probably was me at 3:25 I just barely closed my eyes and a voice said very loudly and clearly" Get up and do you hair Lizzie!!!!!" So I got back up still dressed from Sunday and went to the bathroom to cut my hair. Here it is 4:00 in the morning and I am thinking I am safe for a while now I'll shape my hair while the bathroom is clear. I talk to myself a lot and answer!

Okay each dog had to go out side not together but one at a time then both at once. That is 3 trips to the backdoor. While I was cutting had to stop twice to let family into bathroom. Five interuption while I am cutting my hair!!!!!!!!!! Was only going to be a trim but 3 inches came off!!!! Now I have short cropped hair again!! Now it will be easier to fix and dry much quicker!! Now I can relax and watch some early morning news.

I am sure glad for the Johnster issue is resolved!!!! Whew!!!!!!
Yes today is the day to focus focus hocus Pocus Focus!!!

Tell you what I am going to do when I get the MRI. I am going to focus on each one of you guys and keep telling myself THIS TOO SHALL PASS!!

Okay now I am off!! Have a good one!!!!!

Love and hugs,
Lizzie

Woohoo....I'm back....briefly! I like getting an earlier start so I have a few more minutes play time! I have my timer set.
I left out at 5:05. I'd like to get by the FLC this afternoon.....we'll see how long I can stay awake!
It was really chilly! Yay......cooler than yesterday morning....no clouds, just beautiful moon and stars.
I need to find my binoculars!

Have a good one! I'll catch ya later!
bren

Happy Monday all :)

Lizzie and Bren thank you for the sweetest words. I truly appreciate your support with everything that 's happening with me. Lizzie you're right about what your doctor said and that's the hardest thing to accept. If I knew my boys were not going to make it, understanding the loss would be easier. But, they were perfect. There was nothing wrong with the babies or with me, just simply bad luck. The egg divided so late that they had to share a placenta and the sac, and tragically got their cords entangled. But, life does go on. I know my boys are in heaven and I will see them one day.

Lizzie, you'll be in my prayers today. :rose:

I'll be back later, it's dinner time here and I'm testing myself big time! I always binge on lasagne and since I started this diet I've not allowed myself to have any. I just made some and I'm determined to have only one portion and put the rest of it away! I'll let you know if I could do it!

Have a good day all!

Mari,
Lasagna My absolute favorite. I will try to find you a weight watcher's recipe that I had that was soooooo good. Less fats and calories but wonderful.

Love and hugs,
Lizzie

Good morning Snow Bunnies!! Err....Angels!!

Had to search for the new thread! I always forget and post to the old one.

Lizzie: I hope you do alright with your MRI. My mom was deathly afraid of them! They finally got her into an "open air" MRI, supposed to be less intimidating, but she still had to be extremely medicated. I also pray that you don't get bad results! When are you going to put up a picture of you? I want to see your new haircut!!

Brenda: You are so funny! You make me laugh every day, I appreciate that! I'm glad the John thing worked out. But I'm confused...he says he doesn't want a relationship, and that's a GOOD thing? I thought you wanted one? Or just want to be friends?

Ok, Snow Angels, I am back! I have been on program for 5 complete days, and doing much better! Tonight I am going to pull out my bike and get my tush on it! I notice that I'm a lot more stiff in my hips since I haven't been able to exercise, or maybe it's the bending and lifting? I'm not sure, but I know I felt better all the way around when I was exercising. And now I can start doing my Pilates tapes, once I get a VCR hooked up. I'm getting there at least!

Goals for Monday:

1) Water, Water, Water
2) NO sweets
3) Bike

That's it for today! The rest is under control. Make it a great day!

Woohoo, I did it! I didn't binge on the lasagne for the first time in who knows how many years! :D Cos I could do this, I can do anything! (not mentioning the fact that I'll be craving for the left overs all night...but it'll stay in the fridge!)
Go snow angels :cheer:

Mari,

Woohooooooooooooooooooo Excellent!! I knew you could do it!! Good for you. Nothing feels better than success!!

Have a wonderful day!!
Love and hugs,
lizzie


Hey Stacey, I am still laughing at the Snow Bunnies!!!!!!!!!!!!
Too funny!!!!!!! Man my hair shrunk over night I knew I took a lot off but yikes --- I did!!!!

You guys scared me thought i got thrown out for not being here for a few days. Must of went to the wrong place. Good luck with the MRI at least you will know what's making you tick. Hubby tried a couple months ago and just couldn't do it. They had to try some other tests on him but can't help much with what they found he had detiriating disks in his back. Oh well life goes on. But he sure is in a lot of pain. Enough of him i'm here for me.. But he's driving me crazy.

About me today is Monday and so far i'm having a great day start a little part time job tomorrow only two nights a week but that's all i wanted. I'm finding i'm bored at home even though there's lots to do. I think getting out will do me a world of good.

Hope i can keep this go girl feeling until weight in on Thursday. With the help of all of you I will.

Keep up the good work gang I have to get going.

See you all lighter
Linda

Hi Linda,

We couldn't throw out one of our Snow Angels that would be worse than throwing out family!!! Don't worry if you can't post everyday sometimes I get bogged down and can't get here.

Your poor DH is having disk problems. I sure hate to hear that. I know the kind of pain he is having becasue that is my problem ruptured disks. I had surgery once and now I think I am headed for another. After my surgery to repair disk I was great for 30 days on the nose and 2 more disk herniated. Doc didn't want to do surgery at that time since it was a short time that I had surgery. Finally said I would probably have to get used to it and I should be doing exercises and lose some weight!!! Did okay for a long rime then in July felt something give in my back so MRI to find out.

The MRI today went without a problem. They gave me IV pain killer and sedation for procedure. I don't know what they gave me but I was half dreaming and seeing all these neat colors and places. In the background I could hear the noise the machine was making. The machine they used was the closed kind. The nurse said with the open kind of machine the films are not as good. I knew if I had any problems today then I would be going to the open MRI next.

Well I am about to fall ver from the meds they gave me so i going to lay down.

I will be back later.........
Lizzie

Lizzie,

I'm so glad you did ok with your MRI. When will you get results? I hope you're getting some much needed rest.

:hug:

Hi Stacey,
I see the doc next Monday at 1:00 for results.!! I started out last night with a tickle in my throat and now I have the head cold from HELL. Darn I feel like I have been hit by a truck! But a little one!!!!:D

Yep I am on the sofa for the evening! Had a chcken sandwich from McDonlad's and small fries and actual coke. Too goofy to cook tonight!! Dh is home again tonight!!!

I was amazed how well everything went with the MRI. The one thing that really helped was a cold wash cloth over my eyes. For some reason that has a calming effect plus the meds;) . Got some good rest there sort of like twilight sleep. I could hear everything that was happening but I didn't care.:D

Off to sofa land!!!!
LOve and hugs,
Lizzie

Hi gang!

Stacey! I like the snow bunnies thing!! You guys trip me up!
I am totally addicted to my daily dose of humor, inspiration, encouragement and friendship I find here! I love you guys! (GALS?)
Let's do a cyber-housewarming for Stacey!

Relationship: I connected with John in a way I haven't with a guy in a very long time....which made me WILLING to have a relationship.....part of the attraction for me was the "safety" factor....knowing he's in mourning and no real "threat" to my calm little world.....BOY did I misread THAT one! He rocked it big time!
What's GOOD about the non-relationship is hearing it and not having to wonder what in the unowhat he's thinking and what are we DOING? AND.....it opened for me the possibility of actually having a relationship down the line.....with someone. I don't have a problem being single.....done it for the second time for over 12 years........but a regular dance partner/star gazer/mechanic/light bulb changer......... MIGHT fit in the plan somewhere! My heart has been awakened to the thought!

Lizzie......I am so glad the MRI went ok and they put you into LaLa land for it. Yep....I do go to bed! One of my favorite places to be! Of course when I'm in at 7:00....morning comes at 3:00 AM!OMG......I can see you hacking at your hair at 4:00! We are a pair aren't we? Shhhhhh.....that was Dwight crowing! Don't tell, ok!?OH NO! Nasty, nasty cold! You need my killer chicken soup..........I make a big pot at the first hint of cold/flu and I know it helps....perhaps it's the "ritual" that is healing as well?
I'm so sorry you got sick.....those things knock you on your bee-hind so quickly! Take really good care of yourself in the days ahead. I'll be praying for a speedy recovery, honey bunch!
REST...........do you need instructions?

Linda.....you are funny! OK....enough about HIM..this is about ME! My attitude totally! I say my whole life is all about me and have a coozy that says just that! "It's ALL about ME!"

COOZY......reminds me of my verbal blunder at work one day........Sharon and I were talking about my cook and freeze method of meal prep. I cooked twice a month and stored. I use the term NUKE for microwave....was TRYING to say I had a freezer full of NUKABLE goodies.....said "I have a freezer full of nookey at home!" We both almost wet our pants and every time we'd think of it, we'd giggle! I'm goofy and admit it!

Sandie......has a whippin' coming and SHE knows WHY! Come out ,come out wherever you are, little angel in disguise! LOL!

Mari! WAY wonderful! I too , love lasagna.....oh my....haven't made it in like 10 years? You did great on passing up extra and yes it will call your name until it's gone. The key is in having a serving and not seeing the pan as the serving size.........LOL! Like one of the recipies Lizzie sent me.....serves 12.....points 1. I say serves ONE...points 12!
You're doing great!

I'm gonna run....going to the Family Life Center for my walk this morning ....I'm off today....doing split days this week as our sale day is Wednesday! Yippee yahooty! I get hot tub and sauna time today!
I'll have to shake the dust off my swim suit!
Have a wonderful day everyone....even SANDIE! I'll catch you girls later today!
Today is gonna be a putter day.....meaning: read/relax/find:sort paperwork/FOCUS on me......God knows I can DO that!
Gentle stuff..........and I will enjoy each moment!

Love and huggie wuggies!
Bren

Tuesday....

Good morning Snow Angels,

Lizzie: I'm so sorry you're sick! Not what you needed, but at least it waiting until after your MRI.

Brenda: As always, thrill to read what you post! Nookie??? Too funny! Do you have a regular journal somewhere? I'd LOVE to check that out!

Mari: I agree, good job with the lasagna! You sound like you're doing just fine. Keep up the good work!

Where are our MIA's hiding??? Hmmm......

Last night was very busy for me. By the time I got through the stack of mail that came yesterday, and processed all my sales for the weekend, it was 11 pm! I didn't have time for my bike, darn it! Tonight I have my little guy, so don't know if I will get there or not, but I'll try.

Tomorrow is my weigh in day, so I need to watch my points very closely and my sodium. And drink lots of water!

Make it a Nookie day!!

Hope i'm posting where i'm suppose to no here yet today i'm very surprised. had a very good diet day yesterday didn't go for no constructive walks but did walk around the yard and did a lot of moving around to music and such. They say you have to move it to lose it. Let's go girls lets get the moves on. Went to work for the first time in eight years of working for anyone else but myself. Felt kind of funny.
anyway good luck all trying to get 8 glasses in a day is tough.

See you all lighter
Linda

Hi Snow Angels,

I had started a post on Friday but got interrupted and never got a chance to post it. I maintained last week so will see what this weeks weigh in brings. Been doing really good. On Saturday I went to a get together that was a lot of fun and did really well with all the good food. I actually lucked out and people brought fruit and veggie dishes.
I have to keep this short today. It is busy here at work and I just wanted to let everyone know I was still haning in there. Everybody have a great afternoon.

Hi kids!

Hey Stacey....I don't have an on-line journal! LOL! I have a notebook I tote with me. God forbid I ever leave it laying around!
My first hubby....the freak, would read my stuff and I'd usually get an ass whippin'......my Mom too...even as an adult (me, not her!) would read my personal stuff! It's a shame when ya have to hide things but that's what I did..........I've thought about doing an on-line one but would probably edit a lot! LOL! Tho with you guys, I feel safer than I did with "them"! PLUS.....I'd get encouragement and feedback instead of the whippin'!
I may check out Sandie's......she might say where she lives......heehee!

Hiya Katie and Linda! Good to "see" ya!
We do have some MIA's..........hope all is well!

Lizzie, honey, want some soup and grapefruit juice. Gotta teddy? Find something to cuddle, ok? OH DARN! I PUT MY TEDDY IN THE GOODWILL BOX! OH NO I MUST FIND HER AND BUY HER BACK! WHAT WAS I THINKING? That I'd NEVER be sick again? She would've helped me thru the John thing! I'd had her for 12 years and was "letting go".....well I want her back! Screw letting go......well of SOME things, anyway!

I'll stop in there tomorrow and see if I can find her.
Gonna run and watch the boob tube for a bit . I've had a nice nappy so can stay up 'till 10:00 now.
I got my walk in this morning......yippee! The hot tub was closed.....again.....for maintainence........how DO ya spell that werd? I'd forgotten my magazine for the sauna......and reading glasses. I have a hard time sitting in 140 degree heat without entertainment for ten minutes or more! I usually get fidgety after 5 and get out!
Have a great evening......catch ya in the AM
Bren

Hey Bren,
You shpuld start a journal here in the forums. I think we all have one going on. Sandie lives in PA--Hahahahaha don't let her know I told you!!

No there sure wouldn't be no ass whippin cause we would protect you!! Us and our army!!! yal!! Your ex husband the freak don't know how close he come to getting it from all of us!! We protect our own!!

Grapefriut juice OMG!!!!!!!! I don't think so! That would give me a big bad case of upset stomach or heart burn. Soup now that sounds wonderful. Could you come on over and make me some? Then we can listen to music and watch this cutie across the street. I mean TV!!! Hahahahaha

Hope you have a good night sweetie!!
Love and hugs,
lizze:D :D

Hi Snow Angels,
Just a quick note to say Good Morning!!! I am really feeling awful and will most likely stay in bed most of tomorrow. I will try to come back later and post but I will see how I feel.

You all have a splendid day!!!!
LOve and hugs,
Lizzie:rose: :rose: :rose: :rose: :rose:

Good morning gals!
I'm so proud to announce that I've lost 4lbs!!! It's 16, 5 in total and I WILL get into snow angels goal!!!
I feel soooo good this morning that as soon as I get off this computer I'll do Taebo to get the fat burning... :ex:

Stacey-what a great new photo! Is it a older one or what you look like now? In any case, you look very pretty!

Lizzie -sorry you're not feeling well. Have a good rest and come back when you're feeling better (((HUGS)))

Linda -keep up the good work!

Katie -you've done so well already that just maintaining your weight is a great accoplishment in itself!

Bren -you should try the saunas here! (since they come from Finland lol) it's a whole different experience compared to the 'steamrooms' in the US. First of all you go there naked and the temperature is about 200F. I grew up with that, it's typical for the Finnish family to go to sauna 2 -3 times a week and every house has got one...now I can't really handle it as well anymore. They're great for losing the water retention though, lol!

Everyone have a great Wednesday! I'm off to do Tae-bo!

Mari!
WOOHOO! Being naked!.......ok....maybe not! The sauna sounds wonderful! I'm a sissy when it comes to heat so didn't think I'd like it but I did. Ours at the FLC is the dry heat thing......no steam, unless the hot body counts! I only go in when I have it to myself.
AWESOME JOB!!! 16.5 pounds gone! Yippee yahooty! That's great, girl! ME SOME TOO!

My sodi-YUM levels are high, H2O too low= big boo-boo for Brenda. Shhhhhh! I'll behave......uhhh.....TODAY! Yes, today is good!

STACEY!!!! I love your pic! You be a right purty gal........wanna go hang out? You all would be SUCH fun! No fightin' over dance partners tho! HEY.....you're married so you trip 'em I'll dance!

Lizzie! Hey sweety!.......ok no juice for you.....guess it's just boo-coos of water and the soup. Ya know the old song/commercial "I'd like to buy the world a coke" and la de da de da......mine is "I'd like to make my friend some soup" and so forth! I could watch the cutie for you, I mean WITH you!
YOU'RE A DOLL! Boy, Jimmy could've used a GOOD beating! Wish I'd had ya around to help give it to him!
My two marriage experiences were NOT good ones.........one a freak who was abusive in every form of the word, one so cold emotionally that frostbite was a possibility. So.....I've not had a normal, real relationship with a dude.
Thanks too, for the encouragement on the journal idea. I may do it yet.....get some of my money's worth of time!

Gonna run.........get ready for work....then tomorrow, I'm off again. I didn't get my desk thing done yesterday....my list grew and it got crowded out.....I went shopping! That was fun. I needed some camp gear and locker goodies. I'm good to go now!
Have a great day all!

Love and hugs..........I DO miss those.........I need a proxy hugger to take care of that!
Brenda:hug: :hug:

Good Morning Snow Angels,

Well I woke at 2:00 am and thought I had to go to work!!! Took about a split second to realize I had been dreaming about working. I was so relieved that I didn't have to go to work that I actually went back to sleep. Slept another hour and woke up and felt better. Don't have that nasty headache and stuff I had yesterday so that makes happy. Still feel like crapola but it takes a little more than this stuff to keep me down for long!!

Hey did you feel that nice crispy air this am? Wow put my pups out ( one at a time then together) and felt that cool morning air and thought I can't wait to get to walking in that wonderful cool air!!

My son said the streets around our court house are lined with media trucks from everywhere. They are here in South Bend, In to report on that Toogood woman. Her attorney is trying to get public sympathy and hope to make a deal to keep her out of jail. Our St. Joseph Prosecuting Attorney says there will be no deal.
To bad she didn't think of that little girl before she beat her.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Mari,
Wow you are doing great!!!!! Don't you feel wonderful?? Success is so addicting!! Super job girl!!! Woohoooooooo.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
H Bren,
That is weird that I got here before ya!! Bet you are posting now!!!

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Katie,
Maintaining to me is the same as losing!! Demonstrates that you are going to be a success and keep it off! That is cool!! Good job!!
:D
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Linda,
You are so right have to move it to lose it!! I love to do housework to music. When I ride my stationary bike I have music blasting from my computer. When I bought my Dell (dude) I bought the best sound system they had to offer cause I wanted to hear my music too. If you listen carefully that is me singing in the background with dogs howling!!! Our voices are a perfect blend!!! Good job staying on program!! Yahoooooooo!
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Stacey,
Wow I got all excited and thought you said have a cookie day then I realized you said "Nookie day" Tooooo funny!!! Hey thanks for the mail!! Saved me tearing up WW to find one!! So thanks a whole bunch. Wow I bet you knocked off more weight today!! Can't wait to hear!! Good job!!!!
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Wow I almost forgot today was weigh in day. Since I rejoined WW on Saturday my weigh in day is next Saturday. I can report that I had gained from last weigh in according to my weigh in on Saturday but as of today i have lost some of it. Hopefully I will be down on Saturday. I am back on track and WILL BE STAYING ON TRACK with no more bs and slipping and sliding!! I have decided I either " I get it or I don't " and time to do it and stop talking about losing!! So I am now more focused than ever. Sometimes I have to JUST DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!! Wonder what will happen if I stay 100% for a whole week. Well I am about to find out!! I have been within my points everyday since Saturday!!

Hey MIA's we need you to help us move toward our goals. Well I will leave the light on for you!! Hurry back!!
:)

Good thing I found that determination and motivation just in the nick of time. I feel very confident that I will make that December goal. Hey with you guys helping I know I will make it!

So let's get moving and show good stuff!!! Wow doesn't it feel good just to be alive!!!!!!!!!! Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have a good one Angels,
Love and big hugs,
Lizzie
:D

Fianally time to answer all your post. Darn dang and all that stuff i'm so stupic when it comes to putters yesterday i thought i was the last one on the list duh i asked for last unread post i got it right. Again DUH. And i'm not even blonde.
I'm doing great diet wise and i like the new job even though yesterday was only atraining day i go in again today for 4 hours at lunch. It's different working for someone else.

Lizzie back problem's sure no fun. I'm lucky none of that as of yet anyhow. So you get results Monday hope they are great great great. Sorry to hear your not well. Was kind of hoping it was from the Medication that happens sometimes but don't last into forever.

Blondee Sometimes those things like mechanics and house repairs are better done by someone you pay cheaper in the long run. This little or long journey that we are on are all about oneself so we do need a lot of me time so be it take it and enjoy it. Believe you me I take a lot of it and i don't even feel guilty anymore I used to feel as if I should be cleaning house laundry or cooking or whatever no more. I live for me then others.
Stacey I weight im on thursday. Good luck with your weight in.
And obviously Nookie doesn't mean the same over there as here been a long time since i had a Nookie day. LOL

Ellen That's it hold in there and not by a shoe string we are all holding you up here on this wagon with a great big rope and you are going to stay on. We are here for each other. I find at buffet or pot luck people are more aware of us and do bring a lot of nice Veg. and fruit dishes.

See you all lighter
Linda

Bren,
I knew you were posting!! You are such a sweetie!! You lift my spirits every day!!

Now you get those sodium levels back down!! Can't have you being sick and so far away!!!!

I'll tell ya the next timeyou think about getting married just let us know. We will put the future hubby though "our stress test " and see if he survives!! If he does then you have a winner if not well he tried!!

Have awonderful day!! See ya later!!!!

Love and hugs,
Lizzie

Hey Linda,
You are up bright and early too!! Sure makes a difference when you are doing things for you first doesn't it?? I use to think if I didn't have the house work, the yard work plus all the family taken care of before me then I wasn't doing my job. Well Bull spit I am taking care of me first now. If the laundry doesn't get down. then it can wait or someone else can do it.

Two of my sons in their 30's still live at home. They take care of all their own needs and help take care of the house. They cook for themselves unless I am making a big dinner, That happens Thanksgiving, Christmas, and on Easter. My hubby does his share and 1/2 mine. They sure learned fast!! I figure that I have served my time being a slave and it is over!!! Too bad I didn't realize all this sooner.

Anyway hope you have a super day!! I am going back to bed for a while but had to stop here on my way to the bathroom. Let's see that was 2 hours ago!! Hahaha

Love and hugs,
Lizzie

Today I am back down to 253, so I'm happy with that. I was at 252 before starting to move. Now I have to get back to my exercising. I COULD have rode my bike last night, but chose to do my toenails instead! Believe me...they needed it! The polish was half on half off. Not pretty! And I shaved my legs again, but without the lawnmower this time!! Tonight I have no obligations, so I will get my bike out and put my tush on it!!

Mari: that is indeed a new photo. I posted some pictures in my journal (Stacey's Weight Journal) from when I was 326, and some for now, 74 pounds lighter! I can see the change, but I can see that I have a loooonnnngggg way to go still. One day at a time, one pound at a time. I've gone down 4 sizes, so I can't complain. I didn't put it all on overnight either! Good job on your loss..keep up the good work!

Brenda: I would LOVE to go dancing with you! I used to dance 3-4 times a week. I miss it, but would not go without my hubby, and since he works nights...<sigh> He's retiring in 10 years (60 years old), so we'll go more then. I'm going to try to drag him out this weekend, maybe. We haven't been since before we got married!

Lizzie: I certainly hope you feel better soon! Being sick SUCKS!! In my humble opinion...I'm glad you can get use out of the point finder. I like the way it takes fiber into consideration.

Linda: You'll get the hang of this posting stuff in no time! It took me a while. And then John changes it!!

Sorry if I missed anyone, the page stopped there! Have a great day!!

:hug:

Well for me i had a very good eating day. I want to be under that dreadful 200 come morning wish me luck golly gee i need it.
see you lighter in the morning
Linda

Hi Linda ,
I have my Snow Angel fingers crossed for you in the morning!! Probably why I can't type worth a darn!! Holding my breath till I find out!!!! Hang in ther girl you can do it!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love and hugs,
lizzie:rose: :rose:

Morning all,
I think I'll have a day off exercising, I woke up this morning with afwful backache, I could hardly get out of bed! Not fun.. I think I have been overdoing it a bit with the exercise department...so my only goal for today is to eat within points.

How much does everyone exercise? For two weeks now I've done 2-4mile walk 5x/week, Taebo 2x/week and Jane Fonda workout 2x/week. What do you think, too much, too little or just right? I've got to the point now that if I don't exercise everyday I start feeling quilty, which is not healthy either.

Bren -those dry heat saunas are actually not too good for you. When you're as hot as that, you should be breathing in moist air..here we've got...hmm..what you call them...hmmm...well I'm not sure if you've got these hot stones and we throw water on them to get the extra steam. :) Btw, I constantly keep hearing about this low-sodium diet...would you mind telling me what it means? I'm not paying much attention what I eat (apart from fruit and veg) as long as I stay within points.

Lizzie -please keep us informed what happens to that nasty woman. It was big news here when she beat her girl, but now it seems to be forgotten. It just sickens me. Btw, what's Indiana wheather like now? I used to live in Muncie and loved it! :) I hope you're feeling better today.

Stacey -74lbs! Wow! You're doing so well and are such an inspiration to all of us!

Linda -good luck to see that 9 number this morning!!!

Hello to Katie, AJ, Sandie and everyone else I have missed!
I'm going back to bed...lmao...

HI GIRLS!!!
woohoo it's my Sunday! YAY! I'm off today....well more than usual, as I don't go to the office!

Lizzie, am so glad you feel a bit better! Hope the crud takes a quick hike. You're our numero uno head cheerleader!
(((HUGGIES)))......from across the miles........I don't want what ya got ya know! LOL!
I think I need a dating form for future possible DATES.....even they should pass muster. I have a friend who has one word of advice if I should ever concider getting married again......"DON'T"! LOL!

Music:a favorite topic! yep....I'm hooked! I'm making up for those 62 days I couldn't HEAR....from Feb-May! I have boo-coos of CD's and tape off my favorites to use with my headphone tape players, while walking, dancing in my bed, using when neighbors are trying to SLEEP! I dance around here by myself a LOT!

Stacey........ME WANT A NOOKIE DAY! I mean cookie day! LOL! I see that cute cookie commercial with the big fat juicy lookin' cookie on the subway and the baby gets a bite of him.......I wanna eat him up! Where's the water hose?

:o See what we started?

Mari: for folks with no sodium sensitivity.....ie high blood pressure
etc ,the DRA for sodium is less than 2400mg. For me....I have Meniere's AND high blood pressure.......... I should have no more than half that. Or around 1000 mg. When a cup of something......ie rice-a-roni........(WHO eats THAT?) has 800 mg. and WHO can eat a cup? (NOT ME)!!!! NO WAY!......yummerlicious! I mean e-gads!
So ya can see where I stay in trouble. My real problem in fliud retention is that it settles in my head (empty space: fill it up!) and causes symtoms of Meniere's....hearing loss, dizziness, vomiting ..........with severe attacks, pressure etc. I've had several relapses in the past 2.5 years, the worst being earlier this year with the hearing loss lasting 62 days. AND.......I can have 3-5 pounds of fluid "gain" overnight if I've been really up to no good! Now.........aren't ya sorry you asked! I tend to be LOOOONG winded!LOL!

I have a busy day ahead...got started at 2 AM........Are you with me Lizzie?

I have to finish shopping! WAAAAAAH!! I couldn't find Lori at Goodwill....boo-hoo........perhaps they thought she was too ragged to sell. MAYBE..........she's still in the closet.........let me look. NOOOOOOO! SHE"S GONE! Well.....poopy. I'll HAVE to have one......shhhhh.....not many people are aware of my attachment to my Teddy bear. Twelve years was a very long time. She rode from Alabama to Texas, sitting on top of the mircowave, strapped down in the front seat.....when I moved back here in '96.
I'm glad I can tell you guys anything! I mean ANYTHING! And ya still let me play here! LOL!

I have a nail appt at 10:00.........have got to get the desk thing handled......think I could convince myself I WANT to do it? I usually make time for things I WANT to do!!

Gonna run.........have a wonderful day.....uhhh Thursday in the real world, right?
I'll be back!
Brenda

I have FINALLY broken my slump! I am at 251 this morning. Almost into the 240's!! I hit 252 on 9/4, then went up a couple of pounds, so now have finally gotten rid of those pounds plus one more!! Always happens after my weigh-in day. Yippee!!

:coach: I'VE LOST 75 POUNDS OF BLUBBER FOREVER AND EVER!!!

I just realized that when I saw Mari congratulate me on the 74 pounds. Wow, what an accomplishment. :laugh:

I'll post more later, have to get ready for work!

Morning Snow Angels,

Wow you guys are all up and moving at warp speed this am. Me well Iam moving but wouldn't be able to pass a turtle at my speed.

Anyway I still have this cold from hell and feel lousy!! I still have stayed with in my points since last Saturday!! NO slips or slide for me YET!! Been getting in from 64 oz to 48 oz of water a day!! I am going to lose this weight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Stacey, Wow 75 lbs wonderful!!!!! I am so proud of you!!!!!!!!!

Bren, A big hug for willingness to share teddy!!!!

Mari, No wonder your back hurt. My back would most likely break if tried all that exercising. I usually do around 200 to 300 minutes a week. That is when my back is feeling good. My goal is to do 40 minutes a week for 5 days a week. I may have to settle for 30 minutes 5 times a week.
*********************************************

My goals for today:
1. Stay out of trouble'
2. Stay within points
3. Drink 64 oz fluid
4. Be good to myself
5. Mild exercises

That should keep me out of trouble and on my toes. Well I am also going back to bed and rest these weary bones. Keep an eye open for little things cause they have a way of getting me down!! Only 4 more days till I see my doc. I will be so Glad!!!!!!!!!!

Have a great day everyone and let's keep those pounds on the move !!!!!

Wait I hear a son." Snowflakes roasting on an open fire." Nat King Cole sang that. Hang on there hahaha it was chestnuts!!!!! Come to think of it you can't roast snow flakes.

Now I am hitting the sack!

Love and hugs,
Lizzie

Yea I did it. Finally didn't let that dreadful number 200 scare me i stepped over him. And now watch me run. I'm going to do this thing just for me. One day at a time. today is the first day of the rest of my life. Yesterday was good but it's gone. so i'll make today another good one. I can't change yesterday can't do a darn thing about tomorrow only wish that i get up. So that don't leave me with much now does it i have but today to worry about.

Lizzie so glad your feeling better. And yes together we will beat this thing.

Blondee don't be afraid of men they aren't all bad. Mine can be a sweetheart sometimes. But then he can be an A with a capital some days. but then can't we all LOL.

see you all lighter
Linda

Bren, thanks for explaining me that! :) And I could definitely use some more information... I've never had any medical problems before I got pregnant...now I seem to have everything! I'm sorry to hear about all your symptoms, but since they sound so familiar I think I'll check up on Meniere's on the net. I've had all these problems lately that make me feel like I've got some kind of chemical imbalance in my body...I never thought it could be related to water retention (which is obvious I do have) eg. severe dizziness (sometimes I feel sort of out-of place.. I feel I'm not there although I am..strange I know!), sickness, stomach and ears hurt, cold and hot flashes..And even though I've not been drinking anything I feel like I'm drunk!
Sorry TMI I know, but I'm confused what's happening with my body. I really thought I was pregnant again, but after 5 negative tests I have to believe I'm not! :(

Now I'm off to search more info...

I am back...I thought I had posted in here yesterday, but now I see that I didn't. I did post in my journal however. LOL silly me! Today, my daughter is 3 years old. Hard to believe...seems like just the other day we brought her home from the hospital. Time flies!! I have most everything together for her party, and just need to spiff up the house a little today, and finish the laundry, and I will be set. Then it will be over. Hooray!!! Next week, I won't be here, so in case any of you will be wondering where I am at, I am ghoing out of town and gonna go see my sis, and help her out with my niece's b-day party. When I get back, I can take a breather, and relax a little!!! I am really going to be working hard on getting back into my old eating habits next week. (don't worry.....they were GOOD habits! LOL) I have been at a stand still in weight loss for quite a long time. If we are going to have this baby (if and when I get pregnant) I need to have a little more weight off, and I know what to do to maintain while being pregnant, so I MUST get on the ball!!!

I hope that all of you are having a wonderful week, and hope that you have a great weekend also. :hug: :hug: Thanks everyone for all your motivation and support. What an awesome group we have here!!!!! AJ

Hi girls!!

Mari.....please do check out Meniere's....I use google as search engine...it's great!
So many young people are affected and actually I first had it on the right side in '76. I was 23. My hearing is now only about 15-20% on that side, the baklava (wonderful greek pastry)........heehee......I'm tired! Haven't had a nappy yet! The BALANCE on that side burned out and I had a blessed remission that lasted about 10 years....then in '89 I had my first attack on the left side.......with loss of hearing etc., waking in the middle of the night to hurl and spin awhile....was finally PROPERLY diagnosed, put on meds and of we go again.....till about 4 years ago, symptoms returned.......mostly during times of high stress, allergy season etc.
It would do you good to get some info before seeing an ENT. I knew what I was dealing with when this round hit so avoided all the diagnostic testing etc....we just got records from my Dr. in Dallas who diagnosed me and moved forward.
I have hearing aids.....what? WHAT? WhAt......that was Lizzie! LOL! Am supposed to use them but hey......if I can HEAR.....and I've only had the left side for ten years anyway.....waaaaah......leave me alone! My audiologist was NOT impressed with my logic. It's scary........I am so thankful for the info available and support groups etc. Wonderful thing.....the computer!

Hey AJ....good to see ya!You have certainly been busy.

WAAAAAH! I have SKEETERS in here! No wonder I'm coming up with bites all the time ....the little buggers are in here!

Linda.....I haven't given up on guys.....I've just begun! LOL! I'm still lookin' for that gay cowboy....hunky dude to dance my legs off and go home to his boyfriend!

Lizzie.....thank you! I have to confess.....I bought a new teddy today. I actually bought it for my ex-step-son's new baby......shhh! Hey.....she wouldn't have been able to breathe in the box! I had to practically sit on it to close it....it was packed FULL! Besides...........wanna know what she is?
She's one of the angel bears that someone else saw.........She's precious! SO......I'm thinkin'......sure I am .....that she was meant to stay with me. I have her sitting on my desk....ok....on top of all the papers and crap on my desk that I swear I will clean up before 10:00 tonight!
AND.....she's a beautiful, solid white........like a "snow angel bear".
I haven't named her yet.......

"Snow flakes roasting on an open fire"?? What ARE you taking over there? I think I've been into it......baklava indeedy!
I'm gonna run.....I am ragged and MUST have a nappy or I'll croak!
I'll catch ya later!
Bren
HEY........whare's everbuddy?........Katie, Sandie, Stacey......oh Stacey! Wonderful! WOOHOO! atta girl! Janet......I'm missin' a bunch of ya so I'll make up names........Kit, Kaboodle, Tom,Dick and Harry, Simon and Garfunkle, Stan and Ollie, Regis and Cathy.....where is yall?:tomato:

Hi toute la gang great news came in from tops just now had to share the news down 2 1/2 lbs for this week.

See you all lighter
Linda

Hi Snow Angel Linda,
Wow down 2 1/2 lbs !!!! That is wonderful!! Sure does motivate when you see success!!! Good for you !! I am glad you came tonight and shared !! I needed some good news!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love and hugs,
Lizzie

Brenda...

I do believe you are insane...that may just be my opinion...but you either need more sleep...or more NOOKIE!! :laugh:

Hiya Spacey....I mean Stacey!
I resemble that remark! It was sleep deprivation or lack of lovin'.....that made me temporarily goofy! We all know that's NOT my normal state! LOL! Riiiiiiiight.....she says!
Like my friend Dee says.....my sense of humor relates not to my personality.....but my mentality!

Woohoo Linda!-2.5......yayayayayayay! I'll do the happy dance for ya....and for Spacey too!

Lizzie girl.....hope today finds you feeling better! We need a speedy recovery for our friend. When we speak of "fallen angel" we'd rather refer to a night of debauchery rather than the creeping crud catchin' ya and slappin' ya silly! With ME, a peck on the cheek is enough as I'm pretty much there! Where?

Walking! Just did my 3 miles for this morning....yippee! It's becoming a habit with consistant doing and making it a priority. You guys knew that and didn't tell me.....right?

I feel great.....but a tad congested.....a teensy bit......because I forgot my meds yesterday. OOOPS!

Angel......is the name for MY new teddy. I almost have my desk area whipped into shape. I made myself work an hour before I could play this morning. I got up at 3 'cuz when I finally laid down for a nap at 5 it was lights out! So........nopers.....didn't get it done last night. She's still sitting on a stack of crap.
I need about two solid hours and I'll be done. Or a lot of crap will be hidden.....how honest is that?

Gonna run.....I have mail to answer, stuff to run off, a job to go to.
Have a great day!
Love and hugs to all............
Bren:D

Brenda...you are a riot!!!! So glad you are in this group to make all of us laugh. YOUR new teddy! LOL you are too funny!

I am going to be extremely busy today, and the rest of the weekend, so I probably won't be back in until I get back from my sister's. So....I guess I will see ya'll in a week or so. i have to finish my last minute cleaning, and start getting things prepare for tomorrow. It is going to be a big day!! My daughter is sooo excited. Yesterday she asked if she could wear a party hat, because it was her birthday. Of course I couldn't tell her no! LOL She was so cute walking around the house by herself in her jammies, and a party hat. She is getting so big...she says...MOM, I'm bigger cuz I have my birthday! I say...of course you are!

Anywhooo....way to go everyone that has losses recently! Congrats....and keep up the great work!! Take care of yourselves. See you all soon....Hugs to all Angels!!!!!!!!! AJ

Good Morning Snow Angels,

Thank goodness I didn't post here earlier. I checked my journal this am and i had been there while I was in one of my moods from hell. Normally I don't post when I feel like that but I did this morning!

Anyway this morning the sun is out and very pretty outside. I just noticed when I put my pup out the most beautiful purple flowers are blooming in my flower garden. I think they are dahlia's. Sure are pretty.

Be back later I am still having some trouble concentrating and also trouble with logical thinking! Best I book now.

Love and hugs,
Lizzie

Good Friday Afternoon Everyone,

YEA the day is almost over and the weekend has almost begun. I have a few things planned for this weekend, I have to attend a first aid class tomorrow morning. And then we have to haul another two tons of hay sometime this weekend. Then I will also have to help my mom with her horse. My mom rode her horse for the first time last Sunday and has been looking forward to getting back on him.
When I went to my weigh in last night I found out that I lost .4 of a pound. At least it was something. I think I have hit one of thoses lovely plateaus. I haven't changed my eating or exercising but my body just doesn't want to give up the weight.
Well just wanted to write a short note to let you know I am still here. I want to get this posted before I get interrupted and don't get to post again.

Hope everybody has a great weekend.

HI everyone!:wave:

AJ have a wonderful time with Sis......and young'un's!
Hurry back!
I took Angel to work yesterday for show and tell. The maintainence dude pretended he was gonna grab her, like he does me, with grubby hands......I told Steve, my boss that James was gonna do dirty things to her.....I meant GET HER DIRTY! I knawed on my knee for a couple of minutes! FIM up to the knee joint!

Katie.....sounds like ya have a busy weekend ahead! 2 tons of hay! Whoo-wee! Lovely way to spend a wonderful weekend, tho.....being where you most enjoy.

YAY....I don't have to clean carpets! Lonnie, at the other office, wanted to do his so I get a reprieve today....I told him I'd pick the cleaner up and do mine tomorrow.

I've logged 19 miles this week! YAY....a new record! The most I'd done before was 17. And I haven't been yet this morning so that will be an additional 3.....yippee yahooty! Now if the scale will take an elevator down! I am so ready to see a 1...as the first #! I will .........this coming week.

Lizzie.........you can rant and rave here too if ya need to. I hope things improve quickly for you. You are precious........and deserve GOOD things!

I'm gonna run....suck down another cuppa before hittin' the track.
22 days to vacation! YAY! I told my boss yesterday that I'm on the calendar....thought it best I let him know I'm gonna run off!

Have a great day/weekend everyone. Let's go on a MIA hunt! Whare's our angel gang?

I'll catch ya later!
:D BrenDUH

Good Morning Snow Angels!!!!!

Going to be a beautiful day!! I am feeling like crap but determined to have a good day anyway!

Got on the scales to weigh in my first time since rejoining ww last Saturday. I lost 7 of the pounds I picked up. Only 4 more to go to get back to getting into new fat!! I have been on program all week and it wasn't so bad. I know now that I really need WW behind me for now.

I think this week has been unusally tough because I haven't been able to get into chat! PLease get it fixed john!!!!!!
Plus having this virus is really knocking the stuffins out of me. But I will never give up on me. Others may write me off but I won't!!

That December goal is once again in my focus. Now see that is what I need to do is focus on positives and stop being such a jerk!

Just realized that 7 lbs is a lot of fat gone!! Yep I am proud of me.
Anyway my goals for today:
1. Stay on program
2. Drink 64 oz water --3 glasses to go
3. No exercise till after Monday!!!!
4. Take care of my and that little girl inside that is hurting for a couple of reasons.
5. Have fun with Grandchildren
6. Forgive my family for being clods!!!

Anyway I am off to eat breakfast. About time since it is after 2 in the afternoon.

I must tell you all how thankful I am that you are here. I seem to be going through one of those bumps in the road. I know I can come here amongst all you Angels and feel safe. We all need a safe haven. Mine is here.

Now on to weighty issues!! Hope you all are having success on your programs and being proud of all you do in a day!!! I think you all are the best!!!!!!!

Let's really put ourselves to work and knock those pounds off to never be seen again. We can all do this and with each others help we will suceed!! We have the determination, motivation and lots of support from each other. I would say that is a winning combination!! Key word WINNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! One day at a time!!!
Love you all,
Lizzie:rose: :rose:

Hiya Lizzie and crew!
I'm gettin' ready to go out and hope I get to dance or I might act stoopid! Imagine THAT!

WOOHOO Lizzie! 7 pounds down and out! Yippee yahooty! Yep it counts the second time too, darn it! God know I lost the same 5 for a YEAR!
I'm down 1 more! Yippee! I've stuck at 201 for two days......I will see 199 in a few and be hootin' and hollerin'....oh wait......I do THAT for no good reason! LOL!

Gonna run.......make me beautiful........and hit the road, runnin'!
Love and huggis to all....I plan to pick up a few tonight.
Bren

Good Sunday AM......
Got my walk in, gotta get my house in order. What a mess someone has made here the past two weeks! E-gads!

Yay! I've reached 199......yes 199! OMG!!! I will dance all day!! Hooray!!!!!! Screach/scream/hoot and holler.......woohoo!!!
I'm SO excited! can't tell.....right?? That's 14 # gone since I began in like JUNE? That's ok....I'm gettin' the hang of this thing and am going down!

Last night: Got 4 dances, 8 hugs, 2 semi-kisses, gave two, got called a mean ol' thing and agreed it was true. Was good and only drank my water. glug, glug!

Two of the dances were w/ John.......he said he appreciated my call......the last I suppose? I told him it bugged me, the way we'd left things and I needed to talk about it. Told him.....I'd just had TOO much fun the last time we were together........he said he had too........therefore we both (in my esteemed opinion) got caught up in the moment. I will still be friendly, dance with him etc.

Gotta run......doody calls!:tomato: housework etc before WORK work.....which will be carpets today I swear!
See ya later...have a great day!
Bren-duh

Good Morning Snow Angels,

Wow this morning came very quickly!! Seems like I just laid down and I heard the chicken crow. Hmmmmmmmm What was that noise ???

I started taking antibiotics yesterday because I could see I was getting worse not better. Woke up with a headache the sizzzzzzzzzzze of Texas. Going to take some tylenol in a few and go back and lay down for a while.

Dealt with some mighty weighty issues last night but feel better emotionally today. Something I try to remember: We never know when something we say or do has a profound effect on someone's life. So Lizzie lips choose your words carefully.

Just had to say Good Morning to everyone. Now off to bed!!

Hey you all I will be back later.

Love and hugs,
Lizzie

Good morning Snow Angels!!

First of all...CONGRATS BRENDA!!! Under that dreaded 200 mark! I'm so happy for you...and jealous!!

:cheer: Brenda's a LOSER!!!

Lizzie, I sure hope you start to feeling better soon. You poor thing! It's been long enough. Have you seen your doctor? Hmm...

As for me, I've spent most of my weekend unpacking. Starting to shape up around here. Eating has been great during the day. Nighttime is snacking time. Not sure why yet. I'll be ok, but eating over my points. Hmmm...gotta figure that one out.

I have to go bowling in about an hour, so better get ready. Don't really feel like it today. I hate stopping what I'm doing to bowl. That's why I didn't really want to bowl this season on this Sunday league, but got begged into it.

Have a super Sunday all!!
