Tracy - sweet... i just got the pic... my puter is slow today... I love it... My black one is very similar... but that looks awesome on you

Congrats on the size 12 suit. I am going to get a new one for our trip in May... Hopefully I'll deserve one by then. I'm wearing a 16 I bought from old navy that fit me for a very short time, but is good for water aerobics.

Ok ladies. here is my question I need some guidance on. I have my gift card for JC Penny that I am going to use tomorrow. I just looked at the size chart. I can squeeze into a 16 but an 18 would be a bit big which I knew.... A Jr. 19 would comfortably fit me like an 18misses and a Jr. 15 would compare to a Misses 14. where should I shop? what should I do... get the 14's and set them aside? Can I really lose 3 inches in my waist to have them fit? Does that make sense to do? Hang them up and give me something to work towards? Should I get 1 pr that fits me now? I just don't know what i should do. I know they will eventually fit me. Maybe I'll try on some 16's to see which jeans I like and then get them in the 14's? HELP?

OMG Laura you are amazing... and so cute. looking at b&a pics was just what I needed I have a hard time with shakes because I'm usually running and hate the cups all over. so i'm going to make sf pudding and put my protein powder in there and have that for meals. I'm so stressed I can't eat much and what i can is not the best. Tuesday is a new day. I wish i could find my best before pic from when i was 160, it didn't even look like me and that is where i want to be ultimately - and I'm going there. Well, going to drink some coffee and wake up a bit more

Michelle You are beautiful and you deserve to shine at your party.

kat -that house sounds Amazing. While I was in the mental pre-planning stages of surgery, (which was over a year for me) I gave up coors light. My neighbor and best friend drank coors light like it was water - then we would hit the hot tub and drink for hours more. It is no wonder how I am functioning in life. Well, my hair is colored, eyebrows are waxed enough to get me by until I get to my girl. I use to do hair until I was in a horrible car accident so now I just do my own, but have the best girl in the world who cuts it and does my brows. She use to color me too, but I heavy blonde highlights (can you imagine) and I wanted to to go dark and she didn't think it was a good idea... Needless to say, I get my hair cut after I color it every month and every time she tells me how much she loves it... go figure. it is 1/2 way down my back and I get it cut every month and 2 years ago January it was 1" long all the way around. I don't know what I was thinking at that time, and I never got it cut. Anyway, going to meet my friend for lunch before work to share silly stories - have a great night all

Tracy - YOU GO GIRL.. that will be yours tomorrow... stay away from the popcorn. LOL Have fun at the movies... what are you going to see/ we got movie cards too and don't know what to see

Morning gals TracyK- I'm trying, I've been good but everyone is home this week and most of next and it really screws up my schedule. Next week I'm going to talk to my friend about the ailrline job. I would be loading cargo on planes leaving albany but the training is at continential airlines in Huston so I would be there for 2 weeks. Laura - that would make me so mad... for $40 i would insist on them watching the tapes. Terry - I've never heard of that store... very interesting. hope everyone has a good morning. going to drink coffee, it was so dark out last night i couldn't tell if it was recycle day and sure enough, i got up this morning and everyone has the bins out... so I had to bring my 4 out before coffee. It is beautiful outside.

TracyK - you are amazing girlfriend... I remember a time when we were neck and neck and now... i suck and you blew me away. Denise... I am right were you are ... 207 was my lowest and was 211 this morning but was at 217 when i begged for a fill and was refused. I was feeling pretty good but tonight I feel bloated. worked for 10 hrs on my feet in the heat cooking. That always kills me. night all, i'm just getting in... oh wait.. got another call about a job lead... could just be temp position but a good one working for my old real estate attorney... new year... new opportunities... and just as I walked into a full time job... my niece is going to move back from CA in a 3 weeks and is going to need hrs... she could have mine... would that be perfect timing or what??? where i need to be.

Good for you laura - what great goals and taking one day at a time to do them. i'm off to pay my mtg...then to work... but at least that is 1 think i can relax about

hey you gals in Huston... keep your fingers crossed I'll get the job... I'll be down there soon... and yes i'm driving!

Laura My best friend just got a script for that. she is starting it on the 7th. It said to pick a day an start then. So she didn't even want to fool herself which i think is good, so starting Monday after the new year and she is very excited about it. Good luck to all you smokers who want to quit. I did it 13 years ago when I was preg and it was only easy for me because I was so sick, but failed all the times i tried before that.

Morning gals... just checking in... feeling like the new year is actually going to be a great one! going to pay bills today an if i don't have my support by monday mom is going to let me borrow it for a couple days so i can pay my bills with that and start the new year fresh and non stressed. I love her... makes me a little nuts because she is my mom but that is ok. I am ending the year with Tom which means it will be gone by the 1st of the year so I can be focused and get to Onderland... 10 stinking lbs... I can do that quickly when the bloat is gone. I have all my wonderful violet sisters... I have my health I have my family I am going to get 2 new kittens I am 70lbs lighter and have a much better outlook on life.... I am going to get a new job, where I am happy and can be home with my kids I am going to be financially stable I am going to lose the last 30lbs, but if I don't quiet get there, as long as I am eating healthy and exercising I will be happy Anyone else have a new year's resolution or outlook

hi gals just checking in real quick... will post more in the am, i'm tired... garage door is fixed... thank goodness my stepmom's landlord likes me and cut me a deal (he own's a an overhead door company) works better than ever so I'm ready for snow!

omg... garage door is way broken, won't even stay up now... WTF... what in the world am I going to do??? I am going to have to beg and plea with my step mom's landlord and see if he will take weekly payments and if he will cut me a break - or i'll have to wait until Feb... which would suck because the door wont stay up so I can even get the snow blower out.

Holy Crap Laura.... you are freaking amazing. If I looked that good I would be so happy

Cindy, that is horrible. People just don't have a clue... how about a quiet i'm sorry and leave it alone like you asked. People are insane! Tracyks - CONGRATS!!!!! Usually when that happens to me within a day or 2 the lower number is it. I have to catch up... you gals are blowing me away

Morning gals just a quick check in. got a couple of surprise visitors.... TOM came first last night... Lucky me, but hopefully that last 2 lbs will be gone. and my friend Annete from ME popped in last night and is coming over for coffee in a few. We were going to visit her in August, she was here over the summer and we went to Six Flags with us, and she wanted us to go see her so badly but was having a big problem with her girlfriend and it was a big mess, well we didn't hear from her because she went back home after the summer trip, broke up with the girlfriend, moved out and then ended up moving back in because her name is on the mtg and she couldn't get one already carrying the 1 mortgage. Poor thing, she is the nicest person I know. (that is the very short version. LOL) So she is working on getting the house out of her name and when she does really wants us to come visit. She is mile off the ocean... cold water but still nice. Anyway... a happy ending story. LOL Well, I'm going to have a cup of coffee before annette gets here so i am normal. Hope you all have a good morning

Go Laura! I am happy, i was holding 210 again today, 3lbs left to my lowest - at least it is still going down and not up so I'll get there this week. so stressed I can't eat much anyway. I am going on a little adventure to get a couple of things done and put gas in my car... have a good day all

Morning gals. Wow, I figuured it would be quiet yesterday... and 2 full pages. Sounds like everyone had a nice day, some a little dysfunctional but what family doesn't have a little dysfunction??? LOL Gina - girlfriend... stay on with us. This wonderful group of people have helped me through the same thing the last month including my dr refusing to give me a fill. Well, dd got her computer, desk and chair, ds got a toy laptop he loves, portable dvd player some games, lots of Lightning McQueen stuff including a Mater remote control thing he loves and won't put down. He woke me up this morning when he was jumping all over the house chasing it with mom. they were cracking me up. Me... well, I got a new shower curtin rod and curtin for my bathtub (I don't have one there because I took the shower out and put in a deeper tub w/jets a couple years ago) a pillow speaker for my mp3, a twisting stair stepper, $100 to JC penny and $25 movie gift card - and 2 $25 wallyworld cards. And because i was so sad about my cat, and then cried my eyes out seeing my gram in the nursing home. I got sooooooooooo drunk... but ... hey at least instead of high sugar/cal juice I mixed my grape vodka with rasp ice crystal light... MMMMMMMMMM tasted like grape koolade. I'm going to shower - do a little running - and come put together the computer desk and computer for dd. they are going to my sisters to make gingerbread houses that they have tried to do several times now

happy christmas eve ladies. just checking in... had a nice drink, going to have another. wrapped away... batch 1 of presents I could do while the kids were up. batch 2, including dd's new computer and some stuff for ds frorm us. have 2 more rounds. dd's computer desk and chair, so I can't do that right now... and ds's santa presents and stocking stuffers... maybe I won't be up until midnight I hope you are all having a good night too.

I'm back down from 217 to 210 today. 3 more lbs and i'm back to my lowest here. That is a good thing not being able to eat

Laura -thank you... I forgot... you have your cats too. they are very special. We are going on a mission next week. Fluffy was a black longhair. Maybe we will find a white longhair this time. or 1 of each. Jane, if you find out that santa does clean... please send him my way
