Roll Call!! It's the Weekend!

TGIF!!! Time for Roll Call Again! Here's my update...drumroll pleasssssssssse I hit 70lbs this morning...Yes 70 lbs gone FOREVA!!!! YAHOOOOOO Need I say more? It has been a very long road to that 70 lb mark, as you all know. I started this week saying I was going to pump up the exercise, and I did. I got up at 5 a.m. and Walked Away the Lbs. and also did my regular walking routine at work. So all in all, I walk between 5-8 miles a day with exercise and just plain old brisk walking. I'm totally excited. I wanted to reach 70 lbs before my spa vaca at the end of the month, and I did it! I'm working this weekend. Going to work on mom's day, as I'm not a mom and I don't have a mom, so wanted to give the folks that are moms and have moms an opportunity to spend time with their families. Happy Mother's Day to all you Moms out there!!! XOXOXOX JA

Happy FRIDAY!!! JA: Great job on the 70 pound loss. You worked hard and it has paid off. Good for you. I plan on taking full advantage of Mother's day weekend and get pampered by my hubby & 5 year old son. No big plans just do whatever inspires me. Hopefully the weather will be nice on Sunday. I finally lost 2 more pounds so I am down -87. I have 8 more to go to meet Dr.Bell's goal. I have been going thru some medical stuff (not WLS related) that has been getting me down a bit so any of you who believe in the power of prayer please say a little one for me. I would really appreciate it. Happy Mom's Day to everyone!!! Hugs Chryssie

Chryssie, Awesome on your WL!! WOO HOO As far as prayers go, YOU GOT IT! I will do my best! xoxoxoxo JA

Hey all, First off JA, CONGRATS YOU GO GIRLIE !!!!!!!!!!!!! We did miss you on Tuesday Night. Of course Chryssie left early and didn't feel well.. Chryssie...are you alright?????????? I had a phone call from my brat (16 year old) that she needed a ride, so i blew off the ladies at the Greek Olive and for that I apologize I am down about 71 lbs last time i weighed in. My scale at home is saying all different things so i try not to go by it. I will be going to the drs next week for my b12 shot and will weigh in then. I feel as though i am not losing much though..and need desperately to get on track....Personal issues with the hubby and THOSE are always fun.... Chryssie,...not sure what is going on but if you need to talk, call me..email me for phone numbers. Mother's Day.......that is usually just another day in my houuse....i will im sure not be pampered..i am going to send mom some flowers, as i will not be able to see her and this will be the first time in all my life. anyway.....i really need to get back on track and start eating better....its definitely not easy and i am very scared of gaining back my weight... will say a prayer for you Chryssie. have a great weekend all!! Deanna

Thanks Deanna...I had a dental appt. that went until 7pm and thought by the time I got to Yale, parked and came in, everyone would be gone I missed see y'all, but I'll be there next month for sure! Congrats on your WL...you are doing great!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mother's Day is just another day for me..haven't had my mom since 1985 and my dad passed away in May of 1992 right around Mother's Day, so this is a sad time for me. I try to keep busy and not think of it. Happy Mom's Day to you Deanna! YOU LOOK MARVELOUS!!! xoxox JA

Hey JA Congratulations on your weightloss total! That is so wonderful. Your right up there with me in the 70lbs. Well great job. I am here at work typing my brains out for a fundraiser we are having on the 20th for our local senior center in Orange. I work for the Town at the Community Center. Its so rewarding and alot of fun too. Great people to work with too. Anyway, I have been walking alot and now I want to start an exercise program, I may start doing my old Richard Simmons Tapes, I am really not a gym person. I have been doing a walking DVD that Joanie M gave me, its great and fun too. I have alot more energy now, still got a long way to go. But I am excited I went down five sizes from 30-34 to a size 22. I love it. WHOO HOO!! Well gotta go phones are crazy today as always. I will talk to all of you tomorrow. I am a good girl did my roll call today, now have to do my food log. HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND EVERYONE, AND HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO ALL YOU MOMS!!! Hugs KimC

Hi JA, Congratulations on your weight loss and have fun at the Spa! I'm checking in for roll call! May is very busy for me and I feel a bit stressed, I am trying not to eat to combat the stress although it's harder than I thought it would be. Nothing bad is going on it's just very very busy. My son is making his Confirmation tonight. Sunday is his 16th Birthday. We are going to get his learners permit on Tuesday and then he will start drivers ed next Monday. We are going to NYC for his birthday on May 14th which happens to be the grand opening of the brand new Nintendo store. Also he has been chosen to receive a Youth award from the Mayor for his volunteer work on Tuesday. He has also been chosen by his school to go on a diversity seminar and then Youth services has chosen him to go on a 4 day seminar on leadership. All of these are great honors but it is making my life stressful although very proud and happy! I guess my Mother's day gift and celebration this year is the fact that I have two wonderful children who bring me happiness and pride everytime I turn around! Happy Mother's Day to all of you ! Sandy

Is it Friday already? My days are melting together. Still recuperating and today wasn't such a good day. I had the "emotional" day today. Hopefully that will pass soon. I was actually going to go outside today but it was cold and cloudy and still shakey about going down the three flights. But my mom is going to take me out to run some errands with her tomorrow in that lovely weather. And then mom and I will hang out again on Sunday doing WHATEVER she wants! Happy Mother's Day to everyone! xoxo, Phyllis
