Good morning!! I love NYPD Blue, and am so sad that this is the last year. I also like ER. The 'real' emergency shows on TLC are great. Right now, I just keep looking for the WLS shows on the Discovery channel.... Have a great week, everyone!

Sheryl, So glad to hear form you again. I never really got into NYPD Blue, but have watched it a time or two. I don't have cable, or I would probably watch a lot of those real emergency shows. I can understand why you are watching all of those wls shows. Now is the time to get as much info as possible. Have a great week. God bless, Andrea

Jesi, Hey girl - I don't think that you watch tv all day long - you have too many responsibilities to do that. So glad to hear that you all are feeling better. Now, you have to focus on YOU so you can keep healthy for next week. (Jesi has surgery again next week, everyone, so keep her in your prayers, please.) Sorry, Jes, had to do it................. Keep working on your gazelle and walking or roller skating for exercise and keep up on the fluids. Hugs and blessings, Andrea

Hello Andrea, well my week went ok. hpe to do better this week just cant get away from snacking. i'm starting to feel depressed again with everything. so my goals this week are 1)do more walking 2)less snacking 3)try to cheer myself up 4)do my situps well hope I can do this, my favorite tv shows are Days,7th Heaven,ER,Third Watch,NyPD blue. I hope you have a great week sorry i missed you friday take care Laurie

My goals don’t seem to change much. 1. Try not to let the slow moving scales get to me. Still 5 pounds away from 200! 2. It seems I do well during the week but weekends hurt me. Stay away from snacking! 3. Consume less sodium. That is probably part of my problem. 4. Get more sleep. I may start taking naps again on the days I exercise at home. Going to the fitness center really messes that part of the day for me, when it comes to napping. I had my 9 month check last week & am dong just fine. I have been given the permission to drink diet pop again (sodium!) as long as it’s over ice to help with the carbonation. I am starting to resemble a bowling pin, narrow on the top (size 12) & wide on the bottom (size 18). My calves are huge! We think it’s due to the varicose veins & the fluid pooling there. I have to wait until I have gotten closer to my goal to get them fixed though as she said it would probably have to be repeated. My favorite TV show? Well, I work nights so don’t see much but I have worn out many VCRs. I have to admit that I am a reality show junky. I tape them & watch them when I get home early in the morning (Hmmm… maybe why I’m so tired?) Right now I favor Survivor &, I hate to admit it, also Apprentice. I don’t like “The Donald” at all but love it when he & his minions yell at the contestants! I would be a puddle of tears but those kids are really tough & it’s nice to see someone with brains complete for once. Dixie 342/206/150 12/9/2003

Andrea, lets see my goals are going to be very easy this week....1) is to walk more 2) try not to think like i use to so think positive 3) keep looking for a job.... sorry we didnt get to meet when i was in Davenport. I am sure I will be that way again soon... My favorite show is 7th Heaven the kids and i sit and watch it as a family and i have to admit i love rugrats. lynda

Since I am trying to get this weight off before surgery, I am going to post to this. The sooner I get it off, the sooner I can get to the other side. My goals are going to be: 1>WATER 2>EXCERCISE 3 X's this week (went to curves this morning, 2 more X's) 3>LOW CARB 4>Try not to drive everyone crazy saying how much I just can't wait to have this surgery. TV: Just about everything. Might be part of my problem. Love reality, Law & Order, ER, CSI and many others. Michelle

Michelle, Hey, glad to have you posting!! Your goals are right on target for getting some weight off prior to surgery......and, your talking about the surgery is absolutely normal. I am one of those people who talked to everyone about the surgery. However, I have friends that told no one, but me and a her sister. Keep exercising - and, even though you are doing curves this week, try to get an evening walk in if it is possible and enjoy this lovely fall weather. Have a blessed week, God bless, Andrea

Hey All Posting goals here to inspire me to get off my dead butt and get back on track. 1. Pray and stop feeling sorry for myself 2. Get back on tracking with eating (gained 12 lbs) 3. Exercise with no excuses 4. Get personal projects done Have a great week everyone Paula
