Early Roll Call ALL!

Ok so what's going on this weekend folks? I know all of you with kids are doing the back to school thingy. I'm going to a deck christening party on Sat. and Sunday I am getting my house/yard in shape and give both dogs a fun fun. This is my last weekend home, cuz next weekend I will be in beautiful JAMAICA. My b'day is 9/4 and I wanted to celebrate in Jamaica, so JA is going to JA! I'm going to a spa resort, which should be wonderful! I can't wait. Well I'm down about 21/22 lbs depending on when I weigh. I've lost a bunch of inches; I measured tonight. I love walking...clears my head. This is tough work, but worth the task. Happy, health weekend all! xo JA

Ahhh Jamaica mahn. I've never been, but I've always wanted to go. Are you going with anyone? If not, wish ya told me when you planned it. I need to take a week vacation from work by the end of the year so I am looking for something to do! Might go to Hawaii - not sure. This weekend I am going to see a movie and working at The Fox, but other than that, I don't have much planned, which is WONDERFUL. I am going to rest quite a bit! I'm officially down 50 pounds (exactly) and on my way to the gym now to work it some more. Tara

come along! I'd love the company Congrats on your 50 lbs! You are wonderful!!!! JA

Hi everybody! Ok, I was supposed to have a weekend with no plans, because our summer has been just crazy busy. BUT, now we are going to Misquamicut Beach in RI for Saturday and Sunday. I am not complaining, I love the beach and would love to go one last time this year. But, I was looking forward to doing housework, puttering around the house, and being bored. I know I am Weight loss is going well, I am down 64 pounds. (the scale has been playing tricks on me this week, Wednesday it was 67, today it was 64... but it's all good!) Last night I put on this sexy nightgown I haven't worn in years, and my husband was floored! I will say no more! Have a great weekend everyone! Anne

Hi Anne, I love Misquam. beach too! I haven't been in a while though Congrats on your excellent weight loss!! Keep it going And as far as that nightgown goes....YOU GO GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOO HOOOOOOOOOO JA

Hi JA, well you beat me to it this morning!! Was going to do a roll call myself. Anyway, not much planned this weekend but too much as far as I am concerned. Tomorrow is water aerobics in the morning and then a 30th Birthday party for my niece's new husband. Big doings from what I gather. Sunday my middle niece goes back to Eastern CT as a junior. I have to take a client grocery shopping and probably do some counseling with the other one on Sunday also. I am sooooo looking foward to next weekend and trying not to have any plans. I need some time around the house to finish more unpacking, hanging things on the walls etc. Things have been okay around here, been at a weight stall for a couple of weeks but I am not stressing about that. I went to the sleep doctor again yesterday and she is ordering the self tritating cpap machine for me to use again for a week so check my pressure needs again (as opposed to going for a 4th sleep study). My glucose levels are weird, they aren't high but seem to be running in the 140's with or without the gloucophage. I see my endrocronologist in Sept so we will discuss that some more. I need to stop shopping!!!!!!!! I know alot of you have heard me say that before but it is true. Of course I have no winter clothes so I will have to shop for those eventually. My closets are totally clear of anything that I owned a year ago and even 6 months ago for that matter. That is such a great feeling. I am wearing 16's, some 14's and depending on the cut either a XL or L. Been along time since that happened. Actually I have never worn 14's that I can remember. WOW it amazes me to even say that. Well its off to work. Got to watch the women's USA Basketball team for a bit. GO USA!!! Linda

Hey Lin, YOU LOOKED MARVELOUS the other day when I saw you! Hang in, you know the weight will come off eventually! I know how difficult it is to wait and watch that $%&^* scale! Sounds like a fun weekend, enjoy! JA

Jamaica is the greatest! Haven't been in many many years, but I am sure it is still beautiful. Kids and I are going to the Brooklyn Fair today, before school starts next week. Love to walk around and look at the cows and such. And of course the foods! Might as well indulge while I can. Saturday, probably just housework etc. Sunday is an appointment for an ultrasound, hoping to rule out Fybroids. Want to be nice and healthy for surgery later this year. Nice dull weekend, last chance for the kids to have a bit of fun before Wed. school begins.

Hi Pam, Yikes fibroids...had those! Good luck with ultrasound. I haven't been to Jamaica in like two yrs., but it is gorgeous there! I cannot wait. Enjoy the weekend. JA

Sounds like everyone has a busy weekend. A spa vacation ... I couldn't think of a better thing to do!! Tonight I'm doing a girls' night out thang with a couple of girlfriends. Tomorrow is NYC -- tickets for The Boy From Oz. We're hoping things won't be TOO crazy with the convention starting the next day. Sunday I'm going to be going up to my Mom's to help her with a few things-- she lives in upstate NY. So as usual, not enough time to do everything that needs to be done. I've been using food to compensate for stress for weeks now, and I'm trying to get back on track, effective today. Pray for me!! Hope everyone has a lovely weekend! XO Kathy F.
