Hello ladies, Bright sunny day here. Busy with odds and ends around the house. Skipped water class and now regret that. I work tonight and need to get dinner in the crockpot so we'll have some dinner to come home to at 9:00. SueBDew - so glad you are home. Sending you healing prayers. Katiebug - words across the screen =…

About those of you who are finding yourself being assaulted by sinful little snacks and treats......been there many times and have the adipose tissue to prove it! I also find myself thinking - "If I go ahead and eat the whole bag, box, tube, etc. then it will be gone and it won't tempt me any more!" What the heck is that…

Wow! I had to do speed reading but I got caught up with the posts! So many wonderful pictures! Love seeing the babies, fur babies, scenery, etc. Rita - Happy Birthday! Where would you "land" if you come to Tennessee? Welcome to the new ladies. This is a great place for encouragement. Hubby and I are having a bit of a…

Hi all, Joyce - Happy belated birthday! Hope it was great! I've been slacking on keeping up with the posts. Only through page 11 right now. I am composing the most wonderful responses to your messages in my mind as I quickly read along. I hope you are able to "read my thoughts" as there is no time to officially respond!…

Hi everyone - Just read through 5 pages. Lots going on and more newbies! Love the picture of Rori and Janetr! Beautiful gals! Heather - hope you feel better soon. Charleen - congrats on being able to ditch the medicine! Meredith- You have a great perspective! Enjoy your new home! Katla - love the picture of Schooner! Karen…

Working a double shift today including basketball games this afternoon. Next Saturday is the last game day! HOORAY!!!!!

Had to fly through the posts today..... Marni - loved the pictures and news of the events. Karen - love the pic of the 2 of you! Becky - I know how hard it is to change teaching assignments. I was moved 2 years in a row during my last 3 years of teaching. Spent every Sunday afternoon at school just trying to figure out…

Fast skim of your posts today - So glad Olivia is better. How is little Reid doing? Congrats to all you losers! I lost the .6 pound I had gained the week before. yoyoyo Welcome to all the new faces. I hope you stay around. TNToni

Congrats on the offer, Heather. Keep us posted. Marni - I can just see you and your mom using fondue forks to eat cheetos. Ha! Clever solution to a messy orange problem! Really had to skim through the posts tonight. I know that I missed some things. No real time to post more. Hugs, prayers, and kisses...... Toni in…

Just a quick hello - I have had to skim a lot this weekend so I am sure I have missed a few things.... Loving the cartoons, thoughts, baby pics, Heather in her new dress..... Appreciating the thoughts and stories you all are sharing. Background info helps me know some of you better. Michele - Glad you made it to Florida!…

Good morning- Sarah - picture the "you" you want to be. Drink tea or sparkling water when they are munching. You can do this! Love the moose uber! Beth - sorry your hubby is hurting. So many of our DH's are facing health issues. Carey - really like your thought for the day. It's a really good one. Mary - when I grow up I…

Hello ladies - Been getting in the water this week: 90 minutes yesterday with aerobics class and water jogging; today did 60 minute deep water workout. Sooooo good to get back to it. Karen - glad you got to cuddle with Olivia! Lisa - Prayers for Corey. Meg - ditto for your hubby. Let us know how he is doing. Rita - sounds…

Good day everyone - HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY! Hubby left me the usual card to "discover" in the kitchen. He picks such meaningful cards. I really don't want more. Kim and Janetr - you are both coping with such difficulties. I am so sorry. Tammy - thanks for the trigger finger video. I have arthritis in both index fingers and…

Hugs and prayers for those of you with struggles. Hoorays for those celebrating!

Jana - as a retired teacher I totally empathize with your class struggles. New students at midyear can throw a monkey wrench into schedules and routines. I used to spend at least 5 hours getting ready for a sub so I could miss six hours of school the next day. I can imagine how hard it is for a dedicated special ed…

VA Karen - so glad you are able to make the trip to see Olivia and give love and support to her parents. Carol - sounds like a nice time with friends Ginger - your mom is beautiful. She just glows. You can tell she has had/still has a rich life. I lost my mother at 63 when I was 29. I wonder if I would have the patience to…

Hi everyone - Lisa - so sorry to hear about your hubby's injury. Sounds like quite a challenge is ahead for you two. Ginger - be careful - you might become addicted to the water! I have done water aerobics off and on for 20 years. When I had my first knee scope I hobbled to the pool on crutches as soon as the surgeon said…

Ginger - I love working out in the water! You can really push yourself and work against the resistance of the water. It releases a lot of endorphines for me. I work at a YMCA. Most Ys will let you come for a day pass for free. I hope you give it a try. Heather - Congrats on the paperwork getting done and the invite to play…

Oh.... had a nice long post that went "poof"! Had a great time in the water class today! So glad I went! Katla - glad the operation went well. VAKaren - praying for little Olivia Michelle - love the cute ceramic. Will it go by the pool? Sarah - I, too, am so thankful for my hot, steamy shower. Something so simple seems so…

Good morning friends, I am struggling with some issues with hubby today. Determined to not let it derail me. Busy day ahead - haircut, chiropractor, grocery store. (That's not busy for you, Michelle, but it is for me!) Tomorrow I am finally getting back in the pool. Made a "date" to meet a friend and go together so I won't…

Took a break yesterday and got 170 posts behind! Welcome to all the new friends. Kelly - so sorry for the loss of your sister. Praying for you. Carol - Prayers for your situation. Had a .2 pound loss yesterday! That was hard fought! At least it is in the right direction! Hubby is home with a tummy bug. I'm working tonight…

Congrats on your losses, Heather and DJ! My blood sugar 2 hours after dinner was 98 tonight!

Hi friends - Barbie - so sweet that the girls are making such good friends. Pip - Way to go.....being mistaken for a 30 something! What is the secret message with the letters you are posting? I am intrigued. Struggling with back pain this week. Then the pain pill gets me hyped up. Will see my chiropractor Tues. A retired…

Heather - that was a hard way to lose weight! So glad you are down to your goal, though. Sherry - As a cat lover, I agree. If peace and contentment had a sound it would be a kitten's purr. My earlier kitty, Pip (not you Pip the Athlete) had the most marvelous purr. You could hear it across the room! Off to work the double…

Happy birthday, Sue! TNToni

Good morning gals, I am loving the stories of pets doing stretches and helping with exercise! Can't really say Shirley cat does this. She takes after her mom who is a real couch potato at home. I don't dare take her to a water class to see if she would try to keep me company there. That would not be a pretty picture! Rita…

Hey gals, Re - Yes, I checked my blood sugar! Thanks for checking up on me. My doctor wants me to do it 2 hours after my biggest meal. This month I am trying to make that lunch as much as possible. My sugar was 106 two hours after my lunch. It's amazing what cutting carbs down and upping fat and protein will do. Thankfully…

Lisa - so sorry about your hubby's wrist. Thank goodness he didn't break his hip! Rori and NYKaren - I meant to say earlier that I loved the picture and the thought of you two getting together. Sheri - glad you are so content. It's been a "stay at home" day but I got several things done that needed doing. Tomorrow starts…

February greetings - It sounds like many of you are having success with losing this winter! Congrats! I missed Monday weigh in because of dizziness and fatigue. Just couldn't get out of bed to go. The first meeting I have missed for "illness". I am not sure if I would have lost. I was down 2.8 for the month up to 1/23. I…

Hi, all - I got a day behind and had to skim through 139 posts. So much news from you busy gals! Heather - your pictures of you, hubby, and the local sites are lovely. Sherry - glad you found an alternative to the shelter. Grace - praying for your daughter and your family Barbie - Bess is a beauty! Water workouts are…
