Good Morning. Congratulations to Carrie Fisher but headline news?

Really? What is wrong with this picture? How is it someone makes the news, for Pete's sake, for losing weight "the old fashioned way", the way society applauds? That tells me dieting doesn't work and when someone is successful doing it "the hard way", it's news worthy. Good grief!  Who is influencing society? Want to take a guess? Follow the $$$$$$$. 

On another note...my respect for Pat Summitt has increased 1000 times over. Link: sports.sportsillustrated.cnn.com/wcbkfront.asp

Yeah, really...the OLD fashioned way??? I wonder how long she will be able to keep it off. I hope she succeeds but the odds are seriously stacked against her.

Yeah, Pat Summitt is one classy lady...you can see what she said to the UT students, fans, etc here: UT Lady Vols

And this morning, dh and I go meet the home insector who is checking the house we have put in a contract on...if it passes, the fun and games begin cause we are doing a lease purchase for the next two years...and we will be moving in by the 15th of Sept.

I guess I am way out of the loop but who cares what Carrie Fisher does?

We knew what we had to do for us and we are making it work. 

Liz, good luck on the house.  Hope it turns out to be exactly what you and Charles want.

I'm off to help a friend with her horses this morning in exchange for a riding lesson.  Next few days are going to be busy with a busy weekend ahead.  Looking forward to it.

So I lost about 50 lbs once with Jenny Craig.... and  xxx years out  I just had an RNY.    Enough said.

Lliz - I hope the house passes with flying colors.

Price - I think of you and your ponies all the time.

Take care all

I watched her on the Today Show.......been there, done that. I lost 50+ pounds on JC, starving most of the time, figured I spent well over $5000 and gained it all back.

Right....it's about the money.

In one of the JC ads with Carrie Fisher she says "Let me pretty one more time."  What does that say to the world?  We can only be pretty if we lose weight?  If you lose weight you are automatically pretty?

Well, let's see I lost weight how many times.  That did not seem to be the problem - it was KEEPING it off!!! 

Tennessee girls basketball is one of the few that I have always loved to watch.  She reminds me of my high school basketball coach.  I wish her well and hope the meds help her.

Good luck on the inspection Liz and Charles - hope it all comes together for you.
