This thread was started before the dawn of time by Amazons who needed to compare their stats with other Amazons. Over time it grew into a community of incredible women who try to keep their spirits in the clouds and their feet on the ground, moving toward health. Most of us start at 5'7 and go up from there, from young singles to wise and lively elders of the tribe. We welcome newcomers who are willing to be kind and share a bit of their lives.

I can't believe Im the first one up--and its so late. Not much going on here. Im just doing more cleaning and laundry. This house is so big, I cannot possibly keep up in the short spurts of cleaning I do. However help isn't in my budget right now. BBL

Aloha, Long and Lovelies!!!
DH and I had a lovely, quiet weekend together. It was so lovely to not have to turn the alarm on Sunday evening. Truly it is the small things in life.
Picked DS up last night, and he had a great time. They went to Universal Studios and Hollywood Studios (part of DW), and he liked Universal Studios better. Which doesn't surprise me. They didn't hit the Magic Kingdom or anywhere else at all, so I'm confident that our trip in December will be much different. I'm glad he had a good time.
Frieda, what wonderful scale news!! And a pizza NSV to boot! I was just remembering the other day, what Lindsay used to say: you are not a dog. do not reward yourself with food. Man, do I hear that one!! Good for you! You are clearly doing something right. I think you are smart to take it in 5% increments.
Shari, I hope you are feeling better.
Susan, such a milestone. But you are right - it may open to other paths. Good luck with your audit!
Linda, I always struggled going to zoos and other places when they were crowded like that.
T, how are the munchkins doing?
Alrighty, I need to get back to work, but wanted to be sure to check in. Hugs!!

G'morning
Too many distractions meant that spare room didn't get touched. Guess what's on the agenda today?! Yep.
Frieda - WooHoo!! Awesome job on that loss. Missy- Glad that you were able to enjoy long weekend with much quiet. DS time with his dad will always pale to his time with you. You aren't trying to impress him. Missing other CATs.
I'm sad. Just got email stating that I was not selected for position. This was the one where resume was forwarded to hiring manager. I have sent email to the lady that did phone interview for assistance. I'm sooooo tired of getting rejected.
DB asked for my help in some of mom's finances. Waiting on him to send info for me to start.
Off to get my day started....
Hugs to all~ m

I'm still doing some trial & error with my diet. Yesterday I had 1/2 can of organic pea soup. I was thinking I was within the limited amounts that I can tolerate for fructose. Nope. I had so much gas I could have drove to Florida! I'm feeling better today. The scale always goes up a few pounds when my system gets annoyed. I'm hoping things level out soon.
Other than that I'm walking, drinking water & feeling good. I'm going out for Mexican with the girls tonight. I'll most likely pass on the chips.
Take care ladies.

Martha, I'm so sorry you didn't get the job. I can imagine it seems like getting rejected is the fate to be. Maybe this is just the time to be for you. It doesn't pay well, but there are lots of benefits to unstructured time.
I'll have to catch up on posts in a bit, but wanted to send an immediate hug to you Martha.
I need to go over my weight watchers material and set up my app along with synching my fitbit.
May have to shout out to Frieda for technical help. And then to Shari for program help. Then to the rest of the CATS for motivational jump start.

Linda, I am always on call for any technical help you might need. However, I know you will be fine. It should just link back up using your old log in name/etc. Martha, I am soooo sorry you've received a not right fit announcement. That stings, I know. Maybe it's time to redo your resume. I'm just thinking that if what you've been doing isn't working, then shake it up somehow. Call a temporary agency and work a temp job for a week. I'm just trying to come up with ideas to change things for you. Hang in there. Things will work out. Karla, I love your photos on FB. I popped online today to see what if anything i have missed. Not much it would appear. Out of time. Need to get to an appointment.
