I love polka dots and the colors you chose. Going to have leftover baked fish for dinner tonight. Havent figured out what side dish to have with it. Will probably make another salad. Have a good night everyone. Sandy

AND I'm about 50 pounds away now from my ultimate goal. :D Go me! I'm doing the happy dance here people!!! Come dance with me and burn those calories!
Tru - Feel better soon! I had that over the few days after Christmas and it wasn't fun, but if you have what I did, it doesn't last long!
Missy - girlie, you're just finding some awesome pictures. I really like the long photo with the truest saying of them all. :D
CarolJ - I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my dad in 2007. I'm keeping you in my thoughts and prayers and sending you as many hugs as you want.

It has been brought to my attention that most everyone on the weight loss thread has been PMed about quilt blocks to make a quilt for a member of the challenge. I was not consulted about this before the PM's were sent. I would not have approved of PM's being sent to everyone as this is the first month some people are doing the challenge and I would not and do not want them to feel obligated as to having to send a block.
If you have been sent the PM PLEASE it is up to you if you want to send a block or not. I wish I had been consulted since I am the hostess of this challenge. If you have any questions please PM me.
Thank you

I am a newbie to this part of the quilting board and really to the board. I believe the message was sent with good intentions and received in the same way. I feel it is a very nice way to show support for someone. And many hands make light work.

Hey folks! I just wanted to take a moment and apologize to the group as a whole about me posting the picture(s) {I do not remember if I posted one or two} with a gun in it. I certainly did not mean to offend anyone at all. I will try much harder to use my "filter" on what I post here.
I am a big girl and if someone is upset with me about some thing I have said or done, please tell me. I am very open minded and willing to see other's points of view. It takes a whole lot to really upset me. So, vent away at me if I have upset you and I will do what I can to make it right (just as I hope I am doing now).
I do appreciate this group as I have gained so much insight in the months I have been part of this thread and for that I love y'all very much!
I would NEVER EVER want to hurt anyone here for any thing at all. You guys are like family to me and for that I am most grateful.
I will take some time though and back off as it seems that there have been some complaints. Never fear, my friends, I will read every single thing you write. I am just like Santa in that way. I know when you've been bad or good so be good for goodness sakes!
*big grin*
Love ya lots!

Carrie congrats on the weight goal plus the quilts are gorgeous and such a good cause
Missy & Tru you are both doing a great job of entertaining us and giving us helpful recipes and info - my day would not be complete without your daily additions in my life
I actually did 30 minutes on the elliptical today. First time since my trip to Disney World in November. It felt good to get back on it. I plan to try my Wii Fit Plus tomorrow that my DH got me for Christmas after I do the elliptical again. Also got back into the routine of eating more whole wheat and healthier snacks. It is so easy to start letting things slide back into bad habits.
Well, til tomorrow's check in hope everyone has a good day and healthy outlooks on all of our personal goals,
