Isn't it wonderful how quickly the LORD answers prayer? Now you can go and be the daughter you need to be for your parents in this difficult time....Know we are there with you in thought and continued prayer....Hugs and love, Karen

Shirley, Great to have you pulling on those socks too, sweetie....we are going to do it, and we ARE going to be healthier, more vibrant, energetic woman...I know I am 200% more energetic and healthier than I was in the beginning...smiling.. Thanks for the place setting for me...and Congrats to your dear friends who are celebrating such a glorious milestone...rah rah rah...may they have another 30 as well...

After yesterdays fiasco, I am feeling more determined than ever....I am no longer doing the Bingo's at the Center...with working full time starting Aug 1st I don't want to tax my self too much..and it was clear to me that my being there at the Bingo's unfortunately, made a couple of elderly sweeties, fearful and anxious that I was there to REPLACE them..just not the case...smiling...and  I feel good about this decision.....

You will do awesome with your dinner party kiddo, as you are in control of the menu..and with it being summer the fresh fruits and veggies are so beautiful ..smiling..

Have a great Sunday, and I'm right there with you on the water and healthy eating...and for IE I will do my 2 mile walk...Hugs and Love, Karen

May today be all you had hoped, and may you feel as blessed as I do that you are a year older than me..winking...tee hee...(gotcha)lol... Seriously, I wish for you health, joy, prosperity, and many loving friends and family around you...and also that LaZy boy fixes the BOOM....ha ha ...Happy Birthday Girl...

Hugs and love,

Karen

For me the "glitch" was when Dr Phil's "link" came to add a new password, there was no place to add it...so hence I re-registered under choose2win..then the next day a new link came from Dr P's site which worked for my old username and password...so hang in for the next link...I tried 4 times before it worked for me...and as for the pics not sure what the catch is there either as I have put in a few and then later Voila Gone....smiling..

I'm sure like with any new format or way, they will be working through the 'glitches" too, and are probably feeling very much like us...(at least I'm thinking so..lol)...My main problem is two fold...firstly, I have to always hunt for the new messages, secondly, when typing out the messages, there is no way to increase the font size that I can find, so have to now wear my reading glasses...to type messages...this sure makes me feel old...ha ha ..

Have a wonderful day sweetie...and keep hanging in...that link is bound to come eventually....lol..

Hugs and Happy Birthday...

Karen

Hey g/f you got a link with your pic too, how cool is that? lol.. great to see you doing well, and that d/h is going to do more painting...such a talented man...I too am needing to get some healthy fruits and veggies here..the cupboards are pretty slim pickens right now...payday is coming this week, so that will be awesome...hope to get my new bathing suit too, as if I plan on doing 90 mins of IE a day, 60 of it will have to be in the pool....it's easier for me to exercise that long there...and more enjoyable for sure...teehee...

Gotta love tax time...smiling, I'm still in hawk with them...lol..soon it will be paid back...smiling...may yours go easy on you...lol...

Have a wonderful day sweetie, love ya,

Hugs, Karen

Hi girlfriend,

It made it really difficult not having everyones email addies...a lot of us hung in together that way...unfortunately for you and a few others , you got left High and dry so to speak...without this to fall back on....well, we are here now and that's what counts right..and you got away with dear hubby for the weekend../How cool is that...or maybe hot is that..winking...

I did well initially after the boards went down, but yesterday fell out of my plan...back on it again today though...I had gained 15 pounds a few weeks ago, and have re-lost 9 of them...so it will eventually all be off again...

How has your new lifestyle been? Are you managing your exercise, water and healthy choices? Right thinking...smiling..so many neat things to work on eh? lol..

Have a great day sweetie, and it's wonderful to see you back too..

Hugs and love, Karen     320/218/150

Diana, you said it very well g/f..it is very difficult for so many to get here now...I have had countless emails stating that they aren't getting the proper link to get in...hopefully, this problem will be corrected, or many like you say won't try any longer...I know it took 4 re-registering tries for me, then a day later the second link came and I got my old username back....I was bound and determined to persevere till I got here..smiling...

I hope these "kinks" get worked out soon...as I'm sure the website is too...lol..

So let's hang in here for it's the people (friends) that really make this worth being here for...the support,love and common ground.....

Hope you have a great day kiddo...even if we are computer novices...lol..

Hugs and love, Karen

Well another new week....yeap, to make great healthy choices...to do that Intentional Exercise (be it walking, swimming, weights, gym) for me it's walking....Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes...oh to turn 55 gotta love it...smiling...age is never a barrier...not for me..I even get a Seniors discount some places...tee hee..

I don't know if you all are having to keep logging in every time you post or not, but it sure is frustrating me...can't leave for a minute...ha ha ...maybe the website has it's senior moments too...tee hee..can't remember me for more than a few minutes...lol...

Okay Weigh in for me this morning I was up 2 1/2 pounds...that's what you get for eating out of plan, and no IE...I weighed in at 220 1/2  ...Now that that is said and done, I will add that in no time this too will stop...bingeing is not the answer...be gone with it...lol... Funny how when one does so poorly on the food part, how it all goes to h**l in a handbasket...seriously am going to JUST DO IT..Exactly 5 months till Christmas and this body wants a nice new outfit that I look great in...ha ha ... and in a couple of sizes smaller for sure....working towards it now...

Vickie, have a special and wonderful b-day today....smiling..

Sharon, yep when I couldn't get on with my pg smiley, I used choose2win...which is me..but won't be using it anymore...sounds like you live in a beautiful God-smiled on , place...and you fit the same as you are such a beauty too, love your photo...smiling..

Hope everyone has a wonderful day,

Hugs and love,

Diana , Go to Need Help? Then click on the one near the bottom that says Message Board Help...and it will take you there to the complaints and answers....I know Jackie has not been able to get on either as she keeps getting this email is in use too...sigh...

Oh let this transition begin to get easier...I worry that many will leave in anger and frustration, and not persevere past it all, to get to the true meaning of all this anyways...Either we want our board, and all the support here or we don't...guess it's a personal decision for us all....I personally think we need to allow patience with it all, as I can bet they are doing all they can to rectify the snags....let's give back some of our gratitude too...amidst our own awkwardness and troubles with the transition..

I know for myself, these boards have been such a God Send to me...I had no support here whatsoever at home...and because of all you wonderful ladies (friends) I today am still down 100 pounds... (actually 99 1/2 ) I never regained it all back...and know I would have had I not had all of you and these boards for support..so I for one thank the Dr Phil website for making this available yet again....I know that this transition for them has also got to be very difficult....not just for us...I don't believe that any of this is meant to make it more difficult for any of us...so let's give back some of our gratitude too...and show our true character...

Hugs and love,

Karen

It is always wonderful seeing new people come to our board...smiling...Welcome...You are so right that Hospice is so awesome, and makes the transition from life to the otherside so peaceful and comforting, rather than fearful and anxious....Angels in disguise for sure....I lost my dad last Sept to Alzheimers and so no hospice was involved.. and we never cease our missing our loved ones do we? We heal as we know they are no longer suffering and are in such a beautiful and sweet place...how could we deny that for them....Oh what a glorious day when we all are re-united...!!!

Hope you come visit lots girlfriend...Hugs and love, Karen
