Hi Linda, good to hear from you and know you're okay. This darned site is so bad lately, I couldn't get in this morning either, seems like once you make it you better grab it and get something typed and sent quick. Okay, I'll bite (literally), what is pork pie? I have heard of it but never knew what it was. Is it like pot pie, with pork and veggies and a pie crust? Yumm. I lost another 1/2 pound, thinking this will soon come to a standstill and I will hit another plateau, but enjoying it while it lasts. Going to the movies Friday night, wondering if I can stay away from the popcorn. Okay, back to work for now.

Hi, me ladies! How's everyone doing today? I tried to get in this morning and over the weekend, but kept getting error messages. Elia, we missed you last week, I don't think you posted once. That new job is getting to you, isn't it, sister? I'm glad to hear your mom is doing well though. Lynn, glad to hear the move went well and that Maggie is doing nicely, as long as she has her mom, she'll be okay. Nita, how are Harley and Davidson doing? Charlie has been behaving except for trying to dig up my deck in the backyard. Trina, congratulations for starting your Christmas shopping already, I have only begun to think about it. Glad to hear you're feeling better too. I behaved over the weekend and am now down 10-1/2 pounds. I'm getting excited because my goal looks obtainable now. If only those nasty holidays weren't coming up fast. Stay in control everybody, and have a great day.

Hi All, I am just checking in from UT. I am staying at my DH's tiny apt. We close on the new house tomorrow and the movers should be here with our stuff Wed or Thur. Maggie is doing well. Of course she won't leave my side, because of the moving. I will be glad when we get in the new house. The trip here was hard. We drove through 8 hours of snow. It took us a long time through the mountains.....but we are here. We also locked the keys in the car while getting gas in Denver. Thankfully the mechanic at the gas station opened it for $50 and we didn't have to wait for a locksmith. I will be glad to get my computer back on Thurs. I miss you guys and I am glad to be catching up with everyone. Love, Lynn

Elia, I did get your phone message today. I was out doing some Christmas shopping. I am feeling better, but boy, don't know whats up, if it is all the Alka Seltzer or what, but the scales were not kind today!!! I never weigh until Tuesdays, but I thought for sure it would show a big loss, nope not happening! LOL I wasn't able to get to workout of course, so I guess next week is really going to be a terror for me! I will have 2 weeks worth to be doing. OH, it is making me feel faint again, just thinking about it. LOL

Hope everyone is doing well, and yes, the site is under the weather again. My new picture is now gone, and the old one back. LOL Was I to much to handle?

The Holidays are here! Do stay on track. I know you have the will and the strengh to do it, do not let your daughters misguide you!! Nita, so good to have you with us! You went missing there for a while! Mom doing better, I am doing ok, just overhwelmed, tired and plain worn out. Nope, I have not been working out! Ok, need to fix my room. Love,

Elia

Nita, I missed it when you got out of the 160's, so a great big congrats to you. Isn't is wonderful when you can kick those pounds to the curb? Great going, you are well on your way!!

Lynn,

now i get it about the 2 eyes and then the 1 eye.

i hope your doggie is doing better. it's so awful when they are in pain b/c they can't tell us where it hurts. they just look at us so sadly.

good luck to you and Maggie.

Nita

nita47 — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 21:40:34 GMT

Judy and Lynn,

what did i miss with the lady with the 2 eyes and then the one eye and still being able to see? ie: the punch. you ladies are so funny.

keep up the grt work.

nita

oh charlie sounds like davidson/boo boo when he's up on the bed and has his face next to mine and looks at me with those huge brown/loving eyes. mind you he's about 90 pounds but he still thinks he's like 15 lbs. he's too funny. and on the couch he is our 90 lb lap dog. he has to be invited up and then i tell him to sit and then drop. he's warmer than the snuggie i have. lol.

Lynn, with this line you made me fall in love with you: "Well lady you have 2 eyes so if I punch one out you will be able to see just fine, right?" That was great, too bad you couldn't actually say it to the b-word. I'm so glad Maggie is getting better, that will make the move a little easier. Moving is so disruptive to a person's life, I'm glad we will all be here waiting to help you transition through it.

Hi Judy,

I took Maggie to the vet's yesterday. The receptionist starting crying when she saw her. Her leg looks bad and I wanted the vet to see what she is going through in case he has any thoughts of not paying her bills after we move. I gave him the new vet and dog hospital in St George. She is getting around better. She is even putting some weight on it which is really good. I am glad the other vet wasn't there. When I picked Maggie up after she broke her leg the other vet (a woman) says to me "I don't know why God gave dogs 4 legs when they can get along fine with 3". I was shocked! I though well lady you have 2 eyes so if I punch one out you will be able to see just fine, right? I think she needs a sensitivity class!

They will be packing my computer tomorrow so I won't be on for a while. I think I can get on from DH's computer next Mon - Wed and then I should be back on for good. Gosh, I will miss you girls, you are the bright spot in this whole move. I am so glad you are coming along to UT. And Maggie has kept me company the last 2 1/2 months since everyone left.

I'll check in tomorrow, Lynn

Hey my friends, how is everyone today? I'm doing okay, just not losing anymore. Tomorrow I will go back to day one of the South Beach and see if I can lose the pound & 1/2 I gained back. I guess I shouldn't complain, I'm still down seven more pounds than I was when I started it. I am behaving myself, (other than that little side trip to the restaurant Saturday night). Charlie is behaving himself except I have to be very careful when I lay any articles of my clothing down. Even the cardigan sweater I took off last night and temporarily hung over the back of a chair disappeared, next time I saw it he was laying on it in the front room. I guess he just wants me, probably misses me a lot when I'm at work, and thinks I smell great, lol. That's all good, I just don't care to have my under garments and pajamas displayed in the backyard. I love how he crawls up on my shoulder when I'm laying down in bed and gets his face in my face and looks deep into my eyes. Such love there, so sweet and pure. Spencer is getting used to sharing his mommy with him now, doesn't hurt so much. I lay my head on Spender's side when he's laying down and profess my love, he loves it. Lynn, I'm mentally going through your tough time with Maggie with you. It's so hard to leave her alone when she is scared, in pain, and has pins in her. You love her very much and she's a lucky dog. Tomorrow I imagine you will go offline to move and be out of touch for a few days, but please know we're with you in heart and spirit, and let us know how everything went as soon as you are plugged in again. Elia, I was laughing at your feet shrinking from a 9 to a 7-1/2. I can't imagine a little squirt like you ever having size nines in the first place! You do lose weight in your feet though - I don't know about a whole size and a half though. Nita, Dr. Oz had the cowboy back on the show yesterday, the big meat & potato eater who he put on a 28-day vegetarian challenge. He has lost 30 pounds and looks and feels great. He said his snack now is nuts, always has little baggies of them with him. Linda, how did your niece's baby shower go? Trina, thanks again for your encouraging words. We are all winners!

Hello everyone!! Doing ok, kind of busy weekend, shopping, which I hate!! At least it was easy to find a dressy get up without too much hazzle! Oh boy, my feet have srunk!! From a size 9 to a 7 1/2??? I think the shoe company made a mistake, that is my story!! Nita hon, I will always be competing with Trina, just for the heck of it!! Lynn, how is our poor Maggie doing? I do hope that she is not in too much pain!! Judy, just one question, did you behave his weekend?? You know I was talking to Trina this weekend, and we both agree this new lifestyle is about a mind frame. Do I have those days that I want to eat for the sake of just eating? You bet, specaiily in the office when I am totally overhwelmed and need to take a break, but I always make sure that 1-I have healthy snacks around, and 2-I ask mysekf why I want to eat, because of hunger or emotions? When it is due s to just emotional wants, I do have something but make sure it is healthy and low in calories and fat. I no longer grab food just for the heck of it. Ok gang, have a great week! Love,

Elia
