I have a family tattoo that has grown from 3 pieces to 7 so i KNOW it's right:bigsmile: Connie - you crack me up! My brain is like a bucket too - only i'm pretty sure mine has some holes in it!:embarassed:

Wow - sure is a lot going on!!!!! Marie! yippeeeeeeee - SO glad the tumor was caught before it became cancerous! I'm sure the treatment won't be fun, but it will get rid of the dang thing! Wow - 54 years - like Sandy said - to the same man!!!!!!!! That's AWESOME. i love hearing that about people. My 2 best girlfriends have…

hi everyone - Marilyn - i SO know what you mean by some days just being hard to get into the gym. I REALLY was going to go today, but i've been 4 days in a row now and i tend to get bored. I got out one of my exercise dvds, closed the curtains:embarassed: and rocked out in the living room for an hour. Good enough for…

Buzz - thank you so much for the menu suggestions! I think if by next monday I still haven't lost weight i'll go ahead and try a drastic change like that! Marie - you made me laugh, calling Jerry and "old fart"!:laugh: elli

Phoebe - thanks for that suggestion - i've actually considered an all fruit day - don't know if i could handle only fluids........ Sandy - thanks for the encouraging words - yes yes, we WILL persevere! Thanks also for letting me know Jeffrey is all right! elli

Good morning everyone and congrats to Packers fans! Which - i actually ended up being after hearing their story on CNN - being a non profit, community owned and how that came about!

ok Barb - i think i'm trying what you said to do. Thank you - and Sandy too - for saying i'm not a dork. technologically challenged is for SURE! and smart@ss is always better than being a dumb@ss!!!!!!!!!!:bigsmile:

oh Maddie - so sorry about your brother. On top of everything else to get SHINGLES. I've heard they are so so painful. I'm not a huge vaccine person but that's one i'll get when i turn 60. Hang in there. I know it's easy when the going gets rough to resort to food for comfort - that's always been my way anyway. It's…

lol - nope - i'm a dork. i still don't have the quote thing!:embarassed:

Irene - i love the story of your little granddaughter buttering the bread and what a revelation that was for her!:smile: I always tell "my" babies someday we're going to bake and cook and garden together. Hi Buzz - yes, i joined in Feb 2009 - almost 2 years ago and i'm STILL struggling with these silly 3 or 4 pounds!:huh:…

Give yourself a break Barbie, you will always be focused and not lose your good habits. Some times things are beyond our control. You have done such a amazing job losing and maintaining and with Jake as your partner you will both always be focused. I have to second what Sandy said Barbie - sometimes life just "happens"…

Hi Connie - thank you for both those postings - the info on all of us, and the wear red day stuff. I heard that this morning on the news and went and put on a red sweater. Good stuff! elli

good morning all! Marie - i don't think i've ever seen 6 inches of snow anywhere in TX! That's amazing! I agree with Phoebe - don't let Jerry overdue! Barbie - that's awesome you found a house you like! I'm hoping yours sells quickly! I've just been with this with my kids - the ones who's baby is 3 weeks old - we packed up…

One of my dogs got a weird stomach infection and the vet had me cook him chicken and rice - it wasn't too expensive and he got well real quick. don't know if that's an option…

good for you for wanting to set a good example for your son! I always had weight issues my whole life and wanted my 2 sons to be healthy - my younger boy is your age - that has always been my drive to eat right and exercise. It works! Both my boys are so "normal"! it makes me happy! Congrats on your weight loss thus far -…

morning everyone - Phoebe - how's the diet going? Those first few days are always awful hard. Also, i don't know about you - but i always know i'm going to start dieting so the few days before it's kind of a "katie barr the doors" food fest. Then i'm even MORE hungry when i get back on track.:grumble: Just stick with it!…

oh my Sandy - thank you for the pictures and especially the videos of Daisy! SO SO adorable!:laugh: I'm glad she finally figured it was ok to go outside! Marie - I've been hearing about your awful weather on the radio - plus we have a customer from Boerne who just called and was telling me how bad it is. You stay safe and…
