Olive Garden Pics

We had so much fun today at the Olive Garden.  Tommy, Michael, Stewart, Pam, Lisa, Kevin, Cindy myself and my 3 grandchildren were there.  We laughed. talked and shared the time together.  We can't wait to get together again. Olive Garden

Oh how beautiful everyone is.  Those babies are gorgeous.  It is so good to see pictures of some of my favorite people whom I haven't seen in so long.  You all are LOOKING GOOD!!!!!  Thanks for sharing Gwen.

Thank You Carmen.  I am proud of these "children of my heart". I am sure everyone else might have enjoyed it a bit more had it been a bit quieter  but they are my world.  It was so nice to meet the people I "see" on the boards.  Maybe next time there will be more of us there but it was FANTASTIC this afternoon.  Tommy and myself even had a birthday cake brought to us

Those are great pics.  Well Happy Birthday to ya'll! Love Ellen

It was a good time. I am so glad I finally got to meet Gwen and Lisa. Gwen is a hoot. I hope we can do this more often.  T PS to Gwen...burn the picture.

I accept BRIBES

I LOVED IT!!!

It was so wonderful to meet in person those who I have seen or chatted with on here.  To get their perspectives on weight loss and how they deal with temptations.  Michael you are absolutely an inspiration!  You look great and I think Stewart and I may have had the same mom!  It really was enlightening.  To see that we all pretty much face the same issues with food.  Sometimes this journey feels so so  lonely....today I was reminded that others have the same issues and difficulties.  Gwen..Thank you for arranging this.  You know how awesome I think you are.    Tommy..you truly have a kindness in your heart, expressed in your eyes that this board cannot capture.  KEVIN!! you look nothing like your former self and you need to release that smile more...It's a wonderful smile.  Cindy we were seperated by a very handsome young man but your laughter was joyful.  Pam, I really am impressed with how far you have come. YOU ARE A SUCCESS!  Oh and GWEN!  THOSE GRAND BABIES ARE JUST GRAND!  Bet each one costs a GRAND at Christmas!...lol

Looking Forward to the next go around.....

Blessings,

 

LISA

 Those grandbabies ARE precious Gwen!!!!  How could you NOT have them with you to celebrate your special day???? The gang looked as if they were having so much fun.  Glad Kevin joined y'all too...especially since he posted he was leaving the board again.  I think he needed the time with some WLS folks for encouragement. 

Kevin and Cindy were so much fun.  They sat across from Tommy and myself.   Cindy has lost over 100 pounds without having WLS   She is our HERO   I think we need to do like they do in "speed dating" and every 15 minutes you pick up your plates and move so you can talk to the other people.  I didn't get to talk to Pam, Michael and Stewart as they were down at the other table and I didn't want to YELL    Ya'll know me, I am so shy and quiet
