Night, night, ladies!

Hi ladies - well the basketball marathon at work was so much worse than I expected! Feeling kind of shell shocked right now and trying not to let my emotions lead to a marathon eat-a-thon! Pip - Ahhhhhhh! so sweet Marni - Happy early birthday, quirky friend! Have fun tomorrow! I plan to check in later. Toni in Tennessee

Heather - sounds like you are experiencing some wonderful things now. I can hear your old self peeking out when you describe your food. You should write for a magazine! Katla - You sound so happy about your day! Pip - Wow! Beautiful portrait! I can feel the love. Barbie - New pooch! Yeah! Re - seems you and your doctor…

Good morning everyone - This will be quick ..... Heather - so glad you were able to do some site seeing and enjoy some of the food and culture. Congrats to losers like Rita and Sherry!

oops! forgot to say... Sarah - love the pix of you and your girls! Grace - I feel your struggles with floors and ladders! The last time I fell it was at the gym.

Re - I forgot you said Thurs. was your BDAY. Happy, Happy Birthday my friend! Pip - great NSV! I'm sure you cross paths with lots of younger women who want to grow up to be just like you! WASue - Sorry your tummy is still "off". I love the Tony Robins quote! Toni

Hi ladies - Marni - thank you for the snow picks and the picture of the moose. Years ago I used a reader with my third graders that had the cutest story "Town Moose". A moose is roaming the town and everyone wants it gone. Two young boys catch it and keep it hidden to keep it safe. Sooo funny. It really captured the…

Hi all! I got behind on the posts so quickly read through. Sounds like many of you have much to celebrate - weight loss, pre-tracking, and cancer free!!! Yeah! Some of you need a big hug today so here it is - HHHUUUGGG! I had an eye exam today and my doc said I am an anomaly. Seven years ago my right eye was 20/250 and…

Dr. Katiebug - Your outfit is lovely, just like you! NYKaren - You are a really wonderful friend to do all that for that family. Barbie - New pooch! How exciting! Lenora - Dangerous storms! It is time for Mother Nature to leave y'all alone down there! I have always thought of the word "gentleness" when I think of this…

Heather - So sorry you are sick. Hopefully you'll be up and seeing the sites soon. Meg and Mary - You both deserve a turn-around. Thinking of you. Sherry - glad to hear you are feeling more encouraged. Lisa - The quilt is amazing! It must have taken a lot of time to do. I had today off and went to a movie with a teacher…

Good evening ladies - Heather and Cheri - love your travel pictures! Rita - sounds like you are still so blue. Have you asked your doctor about different medication? I care about you. Becca -Minus .4 lbs. is still in the right direction. My TOPS group has been so complacent lately. I challenged the ladies to lose every…

Hello MFPals, Usually I work Th - Sun. This week I've done Mon. and Wed. shifts, too. Tired but wound up and awake way way too late. Tomorrow I am going to a monthly reunion breakfast with some of my friends from my old Y which closed in 2015. It is always good to see these people because it is the only time we are…

Good evening everyone! I was 127 posts behind when I checked in tonight. Had to do some really fast skimming so I hope I didn't miss things of importance. Want to report I am done another .8 pounds. I am challenging my self to lose every week in January. Cheri - Happy Birthday! It seems like someone else mentioned a…

Up too late. Enjoying all the news. Marcelyn - Way to go! Cary - Are your eyes still bothering you a lot? KJ - cute shower. Love the literature theme! Lisa - Are you the one who did the beautiful quilt wrapped around the even more lovely daughter? It was gorgeous! I believe I have recovered from the 500 people we had in…

Good evening! Barbie - Happy Anniversary! Rori - Happy Birthday! Cheers to the happy travelers and those enjoying family time. I am thinking kind thoughts toward those with struggles.

It must have been quite a crash to total the van. Allie - thinking good thoughts for you. I know it is not easy. Been there.... Nancy - Yeah! Great recovery and NSV!…

Got a little behind. Think I am caught up now. Some of you are cracking me up today! Laughter is good medicine. Have a great day! Toni in Tennessee

I forgot to say - Yvonne - the birds are lovely. I imagine my kitty would be intimidated by a statue of a bird let alone to chirpy ones like yours! Allie - beautiful bed! Toni

Re - you say your knee bothers you at night - Just a thought: Do you have back trouble? When I am having sciatica from my low back it travels down the side of my leg and settles in my knee. It is so miserable, keeps me from sleeping, and has me constantly seeking a position to ease it, but it all comes from my back. Marnie…

Hi gals, So enjoying all the pictures and Sherry's and Marni's clever cartoons. I had a great first of the year meeting at TOPs (weight loss support group for you newbies - stands for Take Off Pounds Sensibly) I am the chapter leader and we had lots of new year business. I shared about some of you here and hope I added…

Charleen - beautiful quilt. I love the way the quilting stitches seem to have movement around the intricate patterms! Sherry - so sorry about Missy. I am praying for your success in getting her back.

Hi all! Welcome to the newest ladies. This thread can be such a help in your journey. Christy - so sorry about your diagnosis. It sounds like you are taking charge of the things you can control.

Lenora - Those storms sounded so severe. Glad you are okay. Margaret - lovely nature pictures. I can almost smell the flowers! I work @ 4 today and…

Good morning - So much to read! You are busy bees. Tracie - I have read Sue Grafton and love Robert B. Parker. My first love is mysteries but I am currently into historical fiction about England. Right know I am reading about Katherine, Henry VIII's first wife. I have read other fictional works about her and some non…

Woah, Mary - My birthday is in October. This is my grandson's bday. Don't age me any faster than mother nature is already doing, gal! Heather - I will be doing cherry tomatoes, yellow peppers and cucumber with my cottage cheese this afternoon. Thanks! (I still don't think I could do a pound but who knows, I might be making…

Thank you for telling us about yourself. I like your spunky attitude. Marcelyn - Ha! The picture of the giraffe definitely needs a caption. If…

Hi gals, I am so encouraged by the many new ladies here. I had a great deal of success with using MFP and interacting with these friends for a little more than a year. Then I got derailed, quit participating here, and gained back my weight plus more. I have been back since October and it has been like coming home. I hope…

Allie - I know this must be a very difficult path. Little steps not giant leaps right now. You are being very proactive in the midst of the difficult challenge of still having to deal with Tom. Yvonne - I tried a jar of nut butter. Loved it!.....Too much!. Just give me the jar and a spoon. Pecans are my favorite so I know…
