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 just wanted to start the thread. I really don't have much to say. My home scale is up, which is disheartening when I have my meeting today. I just need to keep focused and know it's just fluff. But it's hard when your brain messes with you.
APRIL BD RESULTS
Frieda: 18 days -3.6
Colleen: 16 days -4.7
Martha: 11 days +-0
Susan: 2 days -3.4 (I like to think Susan tracked more than 2 days to produce a loss and just didn't report)
So, we had some losses this month. Which is great! Do you realize if you only lost 3 pounds a month it equals to 36 pounds in a year?
I'll check in later and see what is doing.

Aloha, Long and Lovelies!!
Whew! We survived a busy weekend full of .......everything. DS had his birthday party and EcoBots competition on Saturday - that kept us running around. Had all sorts of interesting conversations and kiddo-conflicts that were quickly diffused. Everyone got along fine; sometimes we all think that others have more or whatever than we do. That's all I have to say about that.
Chatted with my attorney on Friday - sounds like we may be able to settle. She was able to actually talk to XH's attorney, instead of the staff, so they could have an actual conversation on what is going on. Waiting to see what the offer is going to be, so we can close the books on this one.
Good job, all, on the blue dots! Sounds like everyone is going to be motivated, come May and June.
SUSAN!!!!!! Congratulations!!!!! So very happy for you!!! You look so very happy. Can't wait to hear all about plans, etc....
T, I was chuckling at your intro the other day. And at your characterization of the teens. You couldn't be more on! We have been enjoying the cool down here as well. Such a treat for TX this late in the Spring.
Frieda, I think you make a good point about losing 3 pounds/month. It puts things in perspective. Lasting change takes time. For all things, sadly, sometimes. Do you have plans with the girls for the summer yet?
Andrea, I couldn't believe the snow you posted this weekend! Goodness! Is it still there?
Gosh, I feel bad, I know there is more, but darned if I can remember. Just wanted to make sure to stop by. Hugs to all!!!!

Good morning! Just popping by quick - back to back to back previously unscheduled meetings are popping up on my calendar today. GRRRR! Always during our audit when we are the busiest. WHINE, WHINE, WINE?  I spent much of the weekend vegging out in front of the TV with yarn or a book in my hands. We ended up with 1.5 feet of snow but the sun was melting things like crazy yesterday. As far as our BD results, I ended up with 9 BD's for the month of April. I must do better in May so I'm definitely going to join our group again. I didn't get a weight until this morning but I think I'm down a little - 177.0. Love the good news from Susan!! Frieda, we will persevere in May and watch the number on our scales go down, down, down! Missy, sounds like you had a wonderful and busy weekend - whew! I haven't caught up on CAT news - I feel out of touch! I do hope you are all having a wonderful Monday...and know I'm thinking of you!! |

Hi CaTfriends. Chaos girl, here. Day 1 of I don't know my own name but must know and be in control of So Much. Susan!! First of all, aliens sucked me away and I never wished you a Happy Birthday! Happy Birthday! To my soon-to-be southern neighbor! Nevermind that I didn't go to the lengths MM did on that day! He is a romantic guy! We like that - and like the glow he has put on your face since the days when he kept besting out the others on Southern Bachelorette, Raleigh-Style. Love has its ways. Frieda, I owe you responses I am late in delivering. two blue dots last week - nothing short of miracles. And 165 on Sat, leaving me half lb down for the month, I think. Could have been worse if my head wasn't in blue CaT dots, WeWa, younameit. I def want to be in for May if only to still realize people watch their food intake and don't live on Hershey and subs. Congrats to all our losers! What a good perspective on a month's loss. Must. Keep. At. It. MCat, good to hear your dealings may wrap up - that is no fun to be hassling or have hanging over you, to say the least. You keep enjoying your cool. I'll keep hungering for heat You may remind me of that when I'm Hot. Must keep moving. Did a piano memo, many fish-a-frying. Lots of piano tonight. No WeWa to prep, that's a relief. Packing, ridding to do. Day too short. Waves to all of you, best thoughts for a friendly Monday. |

Hi CATs. I'm trying to get my feet on the ground and my head out of the clouds after quite the birthday weekend! I'm so very excited and ready to move into this new phase of life. I'll even have ready-made grandkids. DF's (oh my I can now change what I call him from MM to DF) daughter called us last night so we could tell the kids (7 and 9) the news rather than wait until we see them this weekend. Everyone in his family has welcomed me with open arms - it feels really good! And my family is very happy too. My DB and DSIL drove over with a bottle of champagne yesterday afternoon to celebrate with us. We haven't set a date, and it will likely be a year or more. At our age there are quite a few logistics to iron out!
Now, it's time to focus on getting me (us) back in better shape. I'm definitely ready to make the most of this May challenge!
Must run for now. Thanks so much for all the well wishes! Have a great day everyone!

Hello all.
I've had this open for quite some time, and now need to run to get lunch before you can hear my stomach growling multiple states away! Good weekend, shopping, exploring and relaxing. I'm seriously ready to move out of the apt due to the noise from my neighbor. I'm too old for this. Good luck Shari - I hope you have mature neighbors.
I love hearing all about Susan's news. In hindsight, I wish I would have enjoyed the celebration more. I feel that the stupid job and BBQB moving in within a few weeks overshadowed enjoying the moment. Bubbles for everyone!
BTW - Susan and I have twin rings! love it!
No BD for me yet this month but the scale is down further than Saturday. I'll take it. Had my expectations with my new boss, positive outlook on the first 60 days.
holding good thoughts for Freida and MCAT with their advisors. Andrea, has the snow melted yet? Karla - did you get snow, too? Anne, are you all recovered?

Sounds like congrats are in order all over the board!!!
Surprised, but not surprised for Susan's news! Just was in the clubhouse at lunch.
WTG on the final Martha. A new career for you!
Good to see T pop in.
I hope the advisors work it out, Missy.
Boo for snow, Andrea - no we didn't get any, Colleen.
The day is quickly approaching Shari. What a nice touch for your WW gang.
I like to log on to see Freida's reports. 17# - impressive!
Glad Anne is getting some down time.
I think there was an Angela sighting.
I need to kick it into gear as I know my summer shorts will NOT be forgiving!
