<---this used to be my playground

[buffettgirl]

<---is glad that no one seems to know where the BGR is today
<---thinks Jodi is very wise
<---agrees there are not cliques, but rather people who have gotten to be very good friends after years of sharing
<---says sometimes it seems like newbies are not liked, but it is more of a matter of not KNOWING them
<---likes when newbies introduce themselves, rather then jumping right into a controversial thread
<---is sorry Michele had to visit the MMGHH and hopes her FIL is better
<---sends a butt load of hugs to Carola
<---says if you could see the size of my butt, you'd know that is a load of hugs!

 

[fit_fairy]

<--so doesn't want to be at work
<--***sigh***
<--wonders if it's over yet

 

[jodijodi]

<---says "Aw, shucks, Robin, thanks!"
<---is kind of inspired now to make an "introduce yourself" thread
<---is not really sure if it will help, but it seems like a friendly thing to do
<---wonders what others think

edit:
<---decides to do it without waiting to hear what others say

 

[Ronne]

<--- is glad to see jodi here
<---thanks her for the update on Carola <--- is now keeping absolutely everything crossed for her today
<--- sends Catherine Ronne's own patented 'make the day go faster' fairy dust (or you could go and check out kettlebell clips on Youtube)
<--- is glad that michele got the MMGGHHII JJ LL whatever all closed up for the winter and doesn't have to go back for months - is also vvv glad to see miss lee back here as well
<--- would offer to swap the Florida trip with Liann ... but probably too late

 

[allwildgirl]

<--- is thrilled to see the OAL thread already at three pages
<--- has missed y'all
<--- is sending every positive bit of energy she's got to Ms. Carola, along with another buttload of HUGS!!!
<--- has to get a bit of work done, but will bbl

[Stephanie0523]

<--Pops in quickly to say hi!!
<--Hopes everyone is doing well!!
<--((Hugs))

 

[buffettgirl]

<---demands that Stephanie return and share how the little one is

 

[Stephanie0523]

<--Says that the little one is wonderful!
<--Is really enjoying him!
<--Has been a bit down though lately because of the weight <--stupidly gained during pregnancy.
<--Tends to stress during pregnancy and in return, stress eats.
<--Now has 40 pounds to lose. ASAP. Any suggestions guys???
<--Is even contemplating taking .... diet pills. Anyone have any suggestions here??
<--Can't work out quite yet because of c-section incision issues and <--wants to start losing this massive fat.
<--will quit ranting about <--'s fat arse now and show you all a picture of Charlie:

 

[buffettgirl]

<---sends a hug to Charlie
<---sends another to Mama
<---tells Stephanie to take a deep breath, exhale and relax
<---hopes Stephanie can enjoy Charlie and not worry about the weight - it took 9 months to put on, so what if it takes 9 months to take off

 

[allwildgirl]

<--- agrees with Robin about the weight
<--- sends big hugs to Steph and Charlie, who is ADORABLE!
<--- tells Steph that <--- lost the 60 she gained plus 15 more in record time, but only because Sophie had colic
<--- doesn't recommend that diet plan

 

[buffettgirl]

<---didn't have any colicy babies and didn't lose her baby fat for many, many years.
<---did have a colicy DGS and lost 15 pounds in two weeks with him
<---also had extenuating circumstances with him though
<---wonders if anyone has ever considered doing a "Walk With a Crying Baby All Night" Workout for new mommies?

 

[Ronne]

<--- thinks Charlie looks adorable
<--- tells Steph to take it easy on herself. <--- echoes what Robin said - 9 months on, 9 months off ... and you'll be healthier for taking it slow!! you just did something amazing Steph - enjoy it!
<--- waves hello to the lovely Melissa - mwah ...

 

[marnold]

<--Is even contemplating taking .... diet pills. Anyone have any suggestions here??
<---Says "here is my advice....enjoy your baby...live normally...stop stressing"
<---Tells dear Steph to relax...take the baby for walks if the doc allows and the baby weight will fall off.
<---Thinks a trip to help dear Steph is in <---'s future always wanted to be a motivational speaker!
<---Wants to run over and give kishies to Charlie! WHAT A DOLL! MWAH

 

[fit_fairy]

<--loves the pic of Steph and Charlie!!
<--thinks they are both adorable!!
<--says a sad bye-bye to Liann
<--hopes she returns safe and sound
<--wonders if Shelley got any work done?
<--thinks this is a weird Monday

 

[marnold]

<---Says to Catherine "You can say that again"
<---Thinks this is a weird Monday too!

 

[hiitdogs]

<-- thinks Mr. Charliepants is gorgeous
<-- tells Stephanie not to worry about the weight right now
<-- Steph needs to give it some time and let the c-section incision heal
<-- orders Steph to stay away from diet pills, no good can come from this
<-- agrees with Robin and Shelley that Steph needs to relax and enjoy Charlie there is enough time later to get that weight off
<-- just got back from the ultrasound and mammogram, was told no biopsy was necessary <-- hopes that is a good sign
<-- tech told <-- that gynecologist will have the report in a day or two
<-- A DAY OR TWO????? are they kidding???
<-- was surprised that the ultrasound hurt much more than the mammogram - was ready to poke u/s tech with the u/s stick and strangle her with the u/s cable
<-- now needs a fire extinguisher because <-- 's breast is on fire
<-- apologizes for self-absorbed post and TMI
<-- will try to relax and stop staring at the phone
<-- thanks everyone for their good vibes, thoughts and prayers
<-- you guys are wonderful

 

[marnold]

<---Smiles and gives a giant hug to dear Carola!
