Yes, I got skinny and left you all in the dust
NOT
Yes I would like to start over/keep going/lose more weight/get more folks involved
Should we name our little club? Sisters of the Baggie Pants club... or the Saggie-Bottom girls (thanks Mary for the fun suggestions)
How about LETS START TODAY?
Everyone post your weight loss for this week sometime by next Monday (I weigh in on Saturday, but everyone else can go til Monday)
OK who's IN??? And what will the prize be?
NEXT on the agenda: THE FIRST BIG WINNER/LOSER ----Drum roll please
MARY!!!
Mary what magazine does your skinnier healthier heart desire? (WeightWatchers perhaps - just kidding - just don't say Gourmet - OK I'll pay for that too, but not Vegetarian Times - OK I'll pay for that too I guess - but only if you promise to eat a piece of bacon every once in a while to keep Roy happy)
AND even NEXT: the BIG REUNION story
the reunion was so much fun!! It was so good to see everyone, connect with a friend's spouse, and reconnect with a friend that I didn't hang out with in HS, but would love to now. Most of the men still looked OK - you know grey hair looks good on a man, and many still had most of their hair. Especially Casey, who had the yummiest curls in HS...but I digress.
So on Friday night we had our welcome gathering in a bar - I ordered fried dill pickles. Has anyone had these? Well I ate only a few and gave the rest to my friend Mike. Yay me. And I watched everyone eat french fries, onion rings, big jucy burgers, etc. Poor me.
But when I weighed in on this past Saturday I STILL lost 1.8 pounds bringing my total to 6 so far. HA, take that you jucy burger with a side of onion rings and ranch dressing.......oh for the olden days...OOPS, I drifted off there, sorry.
Saturday night we had a good time just sitting around at my friend's house visiting. Now that we are all older, the playing field is now level so to speak. There was no bragging, no competition, no jealousy, etc. just fun visiting. I found out one of my friend's husband is running for office, another is planning to run for mayor of his small town in 5 years when he retires from the IRS. Others have worked at the same place for over 20 years, owned businesses, have successful children, and on and on. I am very proud of our little group of alumni...of course, maybe the less successful ones are the ones who didn't come.
Anyway, it was fun, and I can't wait til the 40th.
And I have been busy trying to get back into the swing, do laundry (not so successfully I might add - got out of the shower this a.m. - no towell, dripped to the linen closet - no towels - dang I hate it when that happens....had to use a beach towel - at least it was clean)
Ok gang, I will post a recipe once I get home...I have a couple of good ones, and I bought a new cookbook from Hungry-Girl so IF I could find time to blog more, I'd get you all recipeed up (yes I know that's not a real word, but something about recipeed reminds me of the saggy bottom girls or is that soggy bottom girls? Oh I digress again, sorry)
so, WHO's IN?????

You crack me up! I am still losing baby weight but won't join at this time b/c I can't find my scale...I think it is in storage awaiting our "final" (hopefully) move...
glad you had fun at the reunion!
You're back! Thanks for blogging even though you don't have any clean towels. That shows us how much you love us. Please don't drip on your computer.
I am up for it. After Mary tells what subscription she wants I'll send you my portion.
Here's my question...WHY DIDN'T I GET TO KNOW YOU WHEN YOU LIVED HERE?!?!
Ok, now I feel better. Let me know what we're playing for...you all have such clever ideas. Lisa~

Sisterhood of the Baggy Pants ..... hmmmmm .... has a bit of a ring to it.
So, I guess I'll join up. I'm out of town so much lately that I should get credit for just hanging in there!
Mary wanted People mag, right? So what's going to be the prize this time, and when do you want to be finished with this current challenge? I'm into instant gratification, so you better not say CHRISTMAS?!?!!
Cross-posted with Mary .... I'll check out the Spin Off magazine and give her .... one fourth the cost?
I am thrilled to contribute to "Spin Off". I used to be into spinning, before I had so many kids and my own hobbies bit the dust. I'd love to see your work. With your weight loss frustration you should make enough yard to make a huge afghan!
OK Lisa, what's our dealine? What's our prize? Lisa~
