A super turn-out for tonite's dinner (Jude, Steph, Janet, Lauren and yours truly), although we're still missing a couple of important members! Julie ... sure hope everything's OK and you were just held up longer than you expected. Anny - I'm thinking you're working too hard - they're taking advantage of your good nature. Lauren, it was super to meet you ... I sure hope you'll become a regular!

At this point John's and my plans have changed a bit and I'm not sure when I'm available for April (certainly later rather than early) - you might all just have to come up with a compatible day and if I'm here, I'll join you. April is one of our busy months!

Anyhow, the April thread's started !!!

Glenda

I had fun last night...(although the scale jumped up a pound...hmmmm....it's that dang RR salt again...)

Julie...I hope all is well and we get to see you soon!

Any evening in April is fine for me after the 5th...

So nice to see everyone! Jude, I put my website in my siggy line...but this morning it had disappeared...so you'll have to go to my profile to see it!

I am so sorry I missed you all last night. I got Jude's message at 6 (and called her back) but it was too late to join you as I still needed to go home first.

Being in Winnipeg in -19 Sunday - Tueday must have frozen my brain because it was in my calendar for today not yesterday.

Glad to hear our group is growing and I will look forward to meeting Lauren next time.

BTW Glenda - I'm off on vacation this week - three whole days plus the weekend without working - are ya proud of me?

My April calendar isn't bad - - - yet....

Julie

Winnipeg has always done that to me - never been there when it's that cold! I have been in Cache Creek at 20 below F. and in Fort St. John at 30 below but never with the windchill that Winnipeg gets. I was reminded on that occasion that F. and C. meet at -40!!



Julie, I'm always proud of you! I could hardly be prouder if I was your mother (oops .... sorry! I meant if you were my daughter!!) What in hell is a vacation?

Looking at my calendar, it looks like we'll actually be in Victoria April 16 or 17 until the 23, and then from 28 to 30. That's not much of a window, so don't plan around my schedule this month!!

In the meantime, hugs to you all! Glenda

Hello fellow Victorians! I am new to this board, but I am very excited to see other people from Victoria on here

aww shucks..... maybe you should adopt me Glenda.....

I'm learning that a vacation is where I don't read work related email and I sleep in until 7 AM.

So far the dates you are here, so am I.

Julie

Welcome Ascentia! There's a wonderful group of us here. Hope you can join us for lunch or dinner sometime.

Julie

"WELCOME." I too, hope you can join our group! I'm fairly new as well!

There's a very precise amount of space (vertical mostly), did you know that? Perhaps both the pic and the sig line don't fit...or maybe I've just been grandfathered all these years having got permission a lifetime ago...hmmmmm, forgot about that thing, bet it's in the Terms & Conditions.

Oh well.

My bad! This getting up at 5 sucks, and everything flies out of my head...I should have posted about that as soon as I got home. Sorry, Julie, I didn't hear the ring at all (and not surprising, considering the decibel level in that place).

Sigh.

Howdy doody, Ascentia!

Glad you're here...

Hi ascentia ... it seems I'm late to the welcome party, but I'm as glad as the rest to see you here. Looking forward to meeting you in person at one of our lunch/supper meetings. Right now, it seems that supper works better for those who don't have a scheduled mid-day break - but, if that doesn't fit your schedule, we'll try to work something different to accomodate all of us! These monthly get-togethers are becoming more important all the time ... at least, to ME they are!!!

Glenda

I really love our get togethers too! It is so nice to talk about LC (ok, and a lot of other stuff) with people who really get it!!!

One can never have too many friends!

Julie

I know what you mean about RR being loud - try adding hearing impairment to it (which is prolly why I missed YOUR call)!!!!! The great irony of my life is people think I am such a great listener LOL

Next time...

Julie

Thanks everyone! What a great idea to all get together for dinner! Dinner definitely works better for me than lunch would.

This is my 2nd go at LC, the first time it worked SO well. 20 pounds in less than 2 months. This time It's very important to me to loose weight because I am getting married in less than 5 months. For a little motivation I ordered my wedding dress a size smaller....so im hoping by my fitting appointment in June that I will need them to take it in!

Wish me luck!
