I am off to work, my final load of laundry is washing. My room still needs a little tlc, getting rid of old stuff but it is so much better. about to start my 2nd 20oz water/crystal light I hope everyone has a great day... It is going to be a great year... or at least until my next mental breakdown... but even then, it will be temp and it is all going to be great and I have my violets on my side.

I'll post some pics this week. I love the jeans... I should have gotten the 16, they are stretching and I have to keep pulling them up but good lesson for my 1st pr of girly, sexy jeans. Kat - I am sure no major issues, but I don't want there to ever be a question, but since we all get along - I'm going to keep my distance for a bit. We (his other 1/2 and myself) laughed hard about it . I was cracking up reading your story, I didn't realize that men are that insane when they go through there little mid life issues. LOL

I'm going to drink my first 20oz of water. That is something that comes easy to me. I get sam's club water and mix with to go packs of crystal light. I keep water in my car and at work and have the crystal light in both places. I made sf pudding and mixed it with protein powder, didn't taste horrible and i felt like I was eating vs drinking a shake and had less cals than the shake. I'm off to the post office, have to get my mail I am sure there is impt stuff in there, and trash. ttfn

Hello gals Tracyks - maybe a little demented... but I'll take it as a compliment. LOL and thanks gals for making me get girly jeans. I want to go get a ton more I love them so much, but I'm going to wait until i get to 203, and I should be very comfortably in a 16 then. I'm just going to remember I've always had bigger bottoms than top, I can't remember when I wore a med top last and I'm cleaning out my room again right now and my t-shirt I bought at school because i got wet last december and was a tight xxl is now swimming on me. michelle - you did look fantastic... are you enjoying today getting back to normal. I am so glad the kids are back in school well, back upstairs to make my bed, just pulled my fav sheets out of the dryer and have wash #3 going.

Morning gals Just checking in, I'm up and showered and doing laundry. dd is back at school and ds is going to the sitter... it wiill be nice and quiet today, maybe I'll get something done.

Hello gals well I just wanted to post before I went to bed. I feel like I've missed a few things here but...for the most part it sounds like everyone had a great new year... I've had some p ersonals I wanted to post but I lost it. As for me, had a great night and a small hangover today as well, I think still being drunk at 9am was almost worst. I only had 3 drinks all night. Bad bad bad - but got lots of complimets and had a great night. Here is a funny story - ok maybe not to everyone but I took it as a compliment and it was just so crazy I couldn't help but just laugh all night. So my man best friend and his wife had a party, and we soaked in the Hot tub at 2am, well we just relaxed, chatted, had a great night, then bf comes in the house and says that he is just going to lay the cards on the table and wanted to have a threesome. ok so not really my thing but... OMG my bf wanted me (i know sick but a compliiment and funny... ) needless to say he slept on the couch. we were so shocked - but he just kept on going, i told his wife this morning when i talked to her that I figured it was ok down there since I didn't hear any police cars or firetrucks. Ok that that is 1st story... next today was a great day, everything seems to be going great, and then I went to Wallyword and decided to get a pr of levi's signature jeans. Ok so they are a size 18 Misses so not happy about the 18 but they were misses and not plus 18 for starters. Second, I could have bought the 16's but you all saw the type of jeans I had before, so I didn't care - for $20 I want my first pr of girly jeans to fit and they are a tad big but I was much more comfortable in the 18's than th 16's. So I felt good about that. I have never ever fit into Misses jeans and liked them, let alone Mid rise boot cut jeans... Me... can you even imagine. I'll take it and I'm going to claim it as an NSV - i never loved jeans ever in my life and I really like these! I'll have to take a pic anyway, i hope you all have a great night I'm going to pass out... OH PAM... holy crap an $80 dinner.... I have said several times since thanksgiving.... Holiday's are not about food and eating... Ok so have not lost but seriously, have not gained and I am much happier than last jan 1! I love my band and my violets!

Happy New Year everyone My bills are paid, I can go to bed and sleep good tonight. I am going to shine this year along with my other violets! Going to a party after work so won't be back until tomorrow love you all!!!

Morning all just getting going here, it snowed last night... was prepared then called mom and asked her to watch the weather, so she didn't have the patience so watched the thing scroll on the bottom that said snow showers in the am... so... woke up to 10" of snow... so pissed... I didn't get gas for the snow blower or back in the drive and my suv is not in 4wheele drive. she just went over to a neighbor and borrowed gas.... I will not listen to her again. It is pretty out there... but I don't want to deal with it. So... shopping trip is off... have to work at 2:30 then going to my neighbors after for a small gathering... and the x friend neighbors are not going to be there so that will be nice (they were not invited) Anyway ,I hope you all have a great day... I'll check in again today

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
