Ollie, I just can't believe your mom is gone.  She was so vibrant with sparkling eyes. How she will be missed. Love and prayers are with all of you, Wanda JF

JF,
When I talked to her last night she said she had been reading the LDL book and wanted to know what that "WASA" stuff was. LOL!! She was looking forward to starting the LDL program. DH and I were on our way to her house (with a jar of the Morton Sausage seasoning I'd bought for her) when we got the page from the 911 center. She just got back from Florida on Tuesday and we had a good visit on Wednesday.

Blessings,
Ollie

Ollie, my heart aches for you. Bring your burden to your Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He can comfort you as no one else can. I can't tell you how very sorry I am.

Ollie,

I'm sorry to hear of the loss of your mother.  May you find comfort in the memories you have of her.  It's wonderful that you were able to have a nice visit with her Wednesday.  Will be praying for her and for you/your family as well.

Ollie,

I'm so very sorry to hear of your loss.  At times like this there simply are no words to help.  Just know that you are being held up in prayer here from all of us.  Your family are in my thoughts and prayers as you move through this time.  *HUGS*

Fit, Happy and Healthy LP
All you will ever be is you.  Learn to love it.

Two things this AM.

1. I fixed the LDL sausage yesterday for lunch. Talk about delicious!!!

2. Did my weekly weight in this AM. Down 2 lbs for the week. That makes a total loss of 44 lbs in 5 months. I never had this kind of loss on WW. I love this WOE.

Thank you Lord for taking care of all of us.

Many blessings,
Ollie

Wendy,

My secret to the weight loss is that nothing goes in my mouth that is not LDL approved. Sometimes this takes a lot of planning ahead, especially if I'm attending a luncheon or dinner meeting where I have no control over what is being served.

Blessings,
Ollie

Had a good weigh-in this morning. 47 lbs gone forever!!! Sitting here thinking how good I feel as I eat my frozen pineapple/banana smoothie. Wish I could give some of this good feeling to my hubs, Ron.

Have a great LDL day!!

You're welcome, Tim. Hope you have a great weigh-in on the 8th.

I am starting to think about what I will do while we are in Columbus for Ron's treatments. The treatments will be daily for a while so we are thinking of getting a room at Extended Stay so that I will have a kitchenette. I will get cans of beans and fruit to eat. Will probably make soups at home to take with us each week and also take my Ninja to make smoothies. I think will be better than trying to eat in restaurants.

Take care,
Ollie
