If nobody else is going to open I guess I will. After dinnner I need to get busy at something. Burr....It's cold out here.Glad I got the furnace fixed, and just in time. There is frost on the pumpkins this morning.

Hows every one doing on their "D" & "E" today? I have gain a couple pounds lately from the ice cream eating. I've got nobody to blame but myself. I knew better. Now that it's getting colder my craving should go down. What excuse can I use next? Maybe baked goods, I get to wanting to be in the kitchen in cold weather. My new kitchen is beautiful also. I can hardly wait to move.

I still can't exercise yet, I'm still to sore from surgery. Doing anything is a problem. I go to the Dr. this coming Thurs. I doubt if he will be to thrilled if I tell him all I have done. I have had to . My body is saying NO.
Is anybody loosing weight, come forth and tell us about it. I need to get more serious about it.

Karen we are glad you have joined us. You always come up with good ideas. I will say the aqua aerobic's did not make me loose any weight but it helped to be in a class at the "Y" and be with others. I was in good condition muscle
wise tho, but muscle weights more. I have not been in it for over a year now and have lost without it with the girls cheering us on. We can all do it, for it is a state of mind. Lets be serious today and really get started. Then we can come in and stay I have lost ___ pounds this week. Try doing just one thing this day toward losing a pound. When you come in for roll call tell us what the one thing is. I'll start by saying, I'll work hard in the house plus get on the treadmill for a few minutes. I'll let you know this evening how I did. Please you do the same and see just how serious we are. this is a chalenge but lets try hard to stay with it, k'.
Hugs & Good Luck,
Billie

Morning BC and all to come~
Hey BC, don't feel like you hafta start roll call. Someone will sometime, and if they don't, oh well. It's really not that big of deal, so if you don't want to, don't.

Here's a coupla cheerleaders to keep you on track today! Sorry Biz, I now know it's your "alter ego" that I made a cheerleader. Sorry 'bout that, I'll fix ya one of these days..... It's so blurry cuz I took her/you off your avatar and you're so tiny there---ever been called tiny before??? You're welcome!!
BC~
I LOVED your idea about just doing one thing to get us motivated and started. That is an AWESOME idea--great job!! Speaking of motivated--we need you Liz--come give us a pep talk or do your thing on us.....

and, and, I'm kinda getting in the playing mood, so send me your pics so I can make your cheerleaders!
Well, OK, so maybe cheerleaders and a few other fun things with your pics.

As BC said, we should do one thing to get back into the swing of things today. My one thing is: I'm going to walk at my old time. Noon Eastern I have been KINDA walking, but if I miss that time I don't walk. Thanks BC.

I hope everyone is having a great weekend! Be good to yourselves!
Hugs,
LS
PS--GC:

thank you for being so motivated and encouraging this morning billie!
It is a beuatiful day here and there is the festival acadians this weekend so I am hoping that I get to do some cajun dancing...hubby still out of town and I have been eating most anything in the house to keep occupied.
yes I will agree to try to get back on my "d" and do better today.
It is getting to be gumbo weather here.

oh Jan thank you for the cheer this morning and you don't have to change a thing!
Have a wonderful walk today and I hope you are feeling better today.
(((HUGS)))
bizi

Ahhhhhhh, so Biz wants to be incognito .....mums the word...... and you're welcome for the cheer!! *whispers to Biz..do I hafta call you somthin' else so I don't give your true identity away now?
Hugs,
LS

good morning!!

jan...do you want a picture pm'ed to you? i have one, but my head is kinda turned...

i have some posts to catch up on...then i'll finish my reply.

Curious, Jan can take any pic and do things you can't imagine with it. We have her home e mail but if you can send it in a PM, that would be ok. Jan is great, and some day I am going to try doing graphic's myself. I'm not on my regular computer, so I don't have the pic's I like in the printer right now.I had to have a new hard drive put in it now. It's about time I'm getting it back too.
I'm looking forward to seeing you instead of the monkey!!! ha, ha,
Hugs,
BC
Thanks Jan for showing me and my fat. Folks I have lost 34 pounds since that pic was taken. It does pay to belong to the Weight Loss forum. The support is great!
Hugs,
BC

I PMed you my email Big C. I don't think you can PM a pic. You could attach one to your post I--didn't think of that. I could grab it from there I bet. Wanna be the guinna pig and let me try it?

BC~
I hate to tell you this, but if you had to have a new hard drive installed, unless they copied all of your files over, your pics are gone. Maybe they did that for you? That's where all of your files (pictures, graphics) are stored.
I used that pic cuz you mentioned using your treadmill BC. Should I not have posted it? I can take it off if you want me to. It sounds like you don't like the picture, and I didn't know that, sorry honey. Let me know, k? Send me one of the new and improved BC!! I hafta quit using that one anyway cuz it's fuzzy from "blowing you up" too, like Biz. I kinda like the mermaid image....... Although, THIS one took me the longest to do, (over 2 hours)and I was laughing so hard I had tears. OK, so evidently I musta got 2 pain pills in my old goat's pill reminder thinggy or something, but I think SueBabe's "family" is a riot, especially the baby toe (her avatar was this foot and toes): Then again, whenever I see THIS one, I laugh out loud!! OK, so I REALLY know how to amuse myself......And I bet you guys didn't know I am a plastic surgeon, didja? Kinda. Member Mel? Where oh where has our little Mel gone? Oh where oh where can she be? (And you guys actually WANTED me to feel better and start posting again!!!!!)

Poor Mel. She was born with these awful numbers on her face. No one would help her, so I--yes your one and only LS, took it upon herself to rid her of her burden. She signed a waver allowing me the rights to show before and after pics (she doesn't know it though ) so I now present our one and only Mel..... ( I hope someone tells her I was talking about her......so she can come read it.......that'd be YOU MEGS!!! or whomever..
Amazing, isn't it?? Hold your applause.
OK, I better be done messing around before I scare BS into thinking I lost it. I'm fine, was just playing. Send me your pics so I can entertain myself--winter's coming, and the dates MIGHT slow down.....BC--you threw the collar away.....

I hope everyone's having a great Saturday.
Hugs,
LS

Shame on you Sher!! You led us to believe you were working so hard!!! I wanna come down there and work THAT hard! OH, and jeepers creepers, I want YOUR DIET honey!!!
(Maybe I'll look like that when I get to be your age??? (I somehow gave you curls......like 'em???)
Just me,
LS

Hi silly ladies,

I had to spend the morning driving an hour away with my sister to go see about her cat at the vets. I don't think he is going to make it and it was pretty upsetting.

I am trying to eat low cal every day using cereal and meal replacement bars but we went by McDonalds so I am sure I blew my cal counts for today.

Exercise wise I do crunchs on a balance ball about 50 and some other PT exercises to strenghten my core. I need to go over to the pool tommrow and get some exercise in.

My SI joint is giving me fits today and I am falling asleep from meds so I better go lay down.
((hugs))
Karen
