Don't worry, these wino's will be easy to gather for that one!

heck, we might even get Betty to run 3000 miles if we ate at John Ash, then we could head to KJ!

HEY! I RESEMBLE THAT REMARK!!

lisabinil · 01-03-2009, 05:17 PM

You guys are so lucky-the Morton's in Chicago is great. The ribeye is to die for. My hubby orders the carrot cake-you would not believe the size of it-big enough to feed a whole table of folks!

Marie I wanna see some pics-if I had the nerve to post mine you can post yours! And I showed my big ole belly on the Callanetics Before and After thread!

SweetPoison2 · 01-03-2009, 05:19 PM

Omg...so you missed the HORRIBLE pics of me from our last get together? GOOD!!

Hopefully, everyone will forget their cameras....I somehow doubt it but one can always hope!

Gosh, Lisa, I wish you could join us! I wish Char could come too, but she is like 5 hours away

hummingbird11 · 01-03-2009, 05:30 PM

oh Marie! I will NOT be forgetting my camera! so you'd better stay on plan for the next 4 weeks so we can document some progress! no pressure!

oh and did i tell ya that I have gained 10 lbs? that should make ya feel better! I'd have to lose 15-20 lbs by Jan 31 to show any progress!

oh be sure to wear cute underwear 'cause we're gonna strip down & do before/after shots!

What are you talking about? You're a beautiful woman!

[COLOR="Red"]Happy New Year to Everyone[/COLOR]

I just got back from a couple of days of skiing at Kirkwood and then Mammoth. It was fabulous coming home in the snow storm over hwy 88 and hwy 89. The snow and day of skiing was wonderful the 1st so it's a omen 2009 is going to be a great year for all of us.
Yep -- I'm going to be there ordering my ribeye steak for sure. I've got a guest bedroom if anyone needs to stay over.
I'm off to LA for my 5th flight in 5 weeks on Monday. Sure glad that I won't be seeing the airport until the first week in February after this trip - I hope. Back late Wednesday so I'm probably going to be computerless.
Just a note -- one of my trips was an overnighter to see the musical Wicked with my best friend in Hollywood. It's closing down south and coming to San Francisco in the middle of January so if you have a chance to see, do so.

This might just rival the wine glass situation of the last dinner.

bizzarrea · 01-08-2009, 12:54 PM

Any chance of an east bay group sometime soon?

What snacks do you all buy from Trader Joe's? I just re-started this WOL on January 5th. I have a million pounds to lose!

Hi Sarah! We did east bay a couple of months ago but I'm sure we'll do it again soon. I don't mind driving.......

Hey do you all mind if I bring Tony again? He said he'll be good........

hummingbird11 · 01-08-2009, 02:07 PM

Absolutely! I'm in Martinez + we have Dublin & other East Bay too!

You'll lose those lbs by hanging out here @ LCF!!
