i have to apologise to anyone i haven't said hi to or commented on. i read beachbound's comment and it hit home. as one of the really talkative people on this thread i try to be a 'meeter/greeter' and include everyone and i am well aware, to my chagrin, that i sometimes don't read back far enough, or i get caught up in getting my idea out there that i forge ahead and leave others feeling unnoticed. beachbound--thanks for saying something! none of us mean to exclude anybody! we all need all the support we can get.
purplemem-- i like your idea very much! believe it or not, sometimes even i want to be quiet once in awhile! for real!

This month was a bust. I will try again in October.

I'm good with the new rules, I don't think I could do it just on my own, I'd need some gentle nudging and maybe the occasional push lol

Whoa! I wasn't pointing fingers at ANYONE!!!! I just think it helps to chat back & you are very good at that!!! Thanks for listening tho. I too am not very good at answering others & need to get better at it.

So, i won't have a whole lot of control over what is being served, but i will have control over what goes in my mouth... BTW, I am new to this group.

Glad that you found the new thread. Love all that purple in your avatar.

Anytime. Judy would have done it, too. Where is she, btw?
And Missy?

Quick thought for today~ No matter where you are in your journey, there is always someone who wishes that they were already where you are now. Unless of course you are that chick from Dr Oz! ;-)

Congrats on your loss! Good luck this month.

I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE IT A REQUIREMENT THAT "TO WIN THE FQ YOU MUST LOG INTO THE THREAD AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK AND PARTICIPATE IN THE DISCUSSION".

WHAT IS YOUR OPINION?

I would like your discussion on this issue, either in PM or on the thread.

MJ

I agree MJ. We need more involvement from our winners.

If nothing else, maybe you would eat less of that item. Or would you just eat around them? lol
