Congrats on 157, Angie! Hope I'm in that area, too. I never check - only see weight at centre. I've been doing great as far as eating goes - exercise not so well!
Holly - Good luck keeping your men straight! I haven't done something like that since college! (Duh! just dawned on me that I married shortly after college!) Anyway, you rock! Have tons of fun!!! I might just stick my toe into the eharmony waters. Maybe fill out questionaire or something. Do you have to commit to anything long term?
Ohio and Firegal - Miss y'all!! Come back soon!!!!

[CathyinSC]

Oh Angie - forgot to wish you a happy trip. Look forward to hearing from you Mon!

Hi everyone! I just started JC on Friday and so far feel very comfortable with it. I apparently forgot what a "portion" looked like!

[CathyinSC]

Welcome Paradise!
I'm Cathy and we have a regular group of posters who come here to support each other. I think everyone must be out of town or busy w/ weekend activities right now, but everyone will be back posting by this evening or tomorrow.
You're going to love JC! Great program. I started March 27, immediately after my yearly obgyn visit! Great check-up except for the 31 lb. gain since this time last year! That was enough for me!
I've been divorced almost 2 years, but separated a year before that. I have 2 teenaged boys - most of us have boys except Firegal. I'm an 8th grade teacher, so very busy right now but looking very forward to June!
Welcome to our group!

Here's to our success!

Hi there ladies. I, too am a single parent for 13 years now with a beautiful 15 year old daughter. Have dated, even engaged two years ago but broke it off because it "just didn't feel right". Since then have adjusted well...got involved with a guy who was "going through a divorce" which didn't happen so great reason for me to eat away!! since then have taken control of my life and learned a valuable lesson. Don't date someone unless they have divorce papers in hand AND there is such a thing as emotional eating. Happy to be supporting each other here...off I go to have my JC dinner. It's salisbury night!

[CathyinSC]

Happy New Week! Sure hope everyone had a great weekend! Holly, you go girl!!! Over 5 pounds! Wow! I need to start dancing! Sounds like life is good! So glad things are going well with Will. You might just motivate me to go for it, too!

Hi everyone. Sorry I haven't posted in while, but my father passed away last week and it's been a crazy time. I did manage to lose another 2 pounds, so that's a good thing. My daughter was at Fairfield University in CT, but wasn't very happy there. She's now in St. John's in Queens and is loving it and getting great grades. I'm glad to see everyone is doing well, and will post again soon.

[CathyinSC]

Oh, Firegal, I'm so sorry about your father. I wish there was something I could do. I will think of you often. I am glad to hear that your daughter is happy with her college experience now. And congrats on your loss this week. Again, my sympathy on the passing of your father.
Cathy

[firegal]

Thanks Cathy. He was sick with Alzheimer's for a long time, so it's not a bad thing for him; only for those of us left behind.
I've been dating a great guy for almost 4 years, and met him on american singles. When I started talking to him I didn't know he lived and worked literally around the corner from my house. I knew as soon as I met him in person that he was going to be good for me. I think we'll probably be together forever. So good luck to all with the on-line experience. Sometimes it works out great!

[2CMEAGAIN]

Firegal~I am so sorry to hear about your dad~my thoughts & prayers are with you & your family.
Congrats on the 2 lbs. gone~woohoo!
Holly~I'm so glad that things are working out for you with the dating scene~you go girl!
Congrats on your 5 lbs. loss!!!!You rock!
Cathy~Hope all is well with you & yours.
I did WI at 155 Saturday,but ate pizza & ice cream Sunday & WI at 162 Monday so waiting for that to pass & will weigh again.
I've had my JC muffin & a ravioli dinner today so it's going well~I've had a few midgit tootsies too...
It's gorgeous in Ohio.
Hope all is well with everyone!

[CathyinSC]

Where is everybody?! Hope y'all are all o.k. I'm just chilling out before I go to bed and checking the boards.
Nothing earth-shattering to report - still coughing, so I haven't made it back to the gym. I did have a good WI yesterday; down 1.6 lbs. I am very happy about that considering I haven't been able to exercise at all. Work is sort of winding down-counting the days till 5/31/07! 12 more whole school days plus 3 half days! WOOHOO!
Cathy

[2CMEAGAIN]

Keep up the great work Cathy~you rock!
It's raining in Ohio...
Gotta get my bike together soon so I can get toned!!!
Hope everyone is having a great day!

[firegal]

Glad to see everyone is doing well and feeling better. I've been pretty good staying on plan, and my WI is Saturday, so we'll see.
Hope everyone has had a good week, and that is continues to be good.

Krush:
Good luck with the dating. I met my guy on American Singles, and in SEptember it will be 4 years! I was casually dating this other guy right before, but once I met the current sweetheart I knew the casual guy was over. So go out, have fun, and when you meet the right one you'll know.

[CathyinSC]

Holly - I think you need to change your screen name to Madame Social Buttlerfly! That is so cool that you've met some nice guys online! And it is also cool that you were able to notice the lack of chemistry. Sounds like there might be some chemistry with the other two though! You go!!!
Firegal - Kids having summer fever??!! I'VE GOT SUMMER FEVER!!! I cannot wait till school gets out! Only 11 more full days and 3 half days left!!!! WOOHOO!
Angie - Thanks for the pat on the back! Are you maintaining now? What's that like?
Talk to y'all later!
Cathy

[firegal]

Cathy:
Summer fever?? My daughter jetted to Florida yesterday, and I'm stuck here! How is that fair??!! She has one more final to take, but she'll take that when she gets back next week.
My next WI is Saturday, so keep your fingers crossed. I've been fairly good, so hopefully we'll see more weight coming off.
Hope everyone has a great weekend!!!

[CathyinSC]

Firegal - got my fingers crossed for tomorrow! Let us know!
Cathy
