Morning gals Tracy- i'm glad you sister is ok. Terry - yes... I am stuck about 5-10lbs lower than where I was for over a year, but when I felt good about myself. I don't know why I don't feel good about my self now. About the jeans, I'm not going to try any on until after xmas, only because I asked dad for a gift card for JC Penny because I need some new jeans. that should be about perfect, even if i only lose a lb or 2 I will go to they Y every day and maybe lose an inch or 2.

worked out for 1 1/2 hr again today. came home and slept for 30 mins showered and now going to work. I had an eggbeater omlet with sausage and onions and 1/4 cup cottage cheese for lunch and weighed in at 210 when I just showered. OK so I guess I'm back on track... going in the right direction, now if it keeps going that way I'm going to have my 300cal bean burito for dinner. go me well off to work.

Suzie I am so glad and you must have such a sense of relief!!!!!! giant hugs to you

Morning gals well, I'm awake and trying to pay my heat bill so I don't get shut off... how frustrating when the site is not working right. I only lost 1/2 lb yesterday but that is ok, after the 5 i lost monday I feel like I'm getting back on track and I'm going to the Y in 30 mins. I was starving last night after working out, so I'm going to go then go get breakfast with my gf I'm meeting at the Y. going to get scrambled eggs. Pam - what a nice sister you are... Kat - Judy - I think it is coming this way, my ear hurts and I have a horrible headache, just feel run down. Michelle - I'm a Mary Kay lady too, same as you, family and friends need something I get it. I just renewed last week so I'm stocked for the year LOL Terry, TracyK, TracyKS, Laura, Denise... and all the rest... good morning gals..... has anyone heard from Amanda??? Hi Jennifer... why you so quiet.... what's going on????

Helllllllllllllooooooooooo ladies well I had 1, 2, 3, maybe even 4 too many margaritas tonight, and nope... no food, so I am feeling quite good. Nope, no trying anything on... next week I will go on another shopping trip. I have lost 5lbs, and I really didn't want to get new jeans until I was at 203 so .... something to work for. Big problem. I worked out for 2 hrs today, walked for 45 mins and weights for the rest, I WAS STARVING!!! so I'm going in the morning going to have a shake and protein bar and planned eggs for lunch. I still feel bloated, probably from the margaritas but feel so much better than 2 days ago, but 203... I'm getting jeans. we had a big plastic surgery conversation tonight,... my step sister has boobs... she went from a b to a -A after nursing 4 kids, and I am all over that, and a ttuck! she wants me to find out if I can get a group discount, did I mention 4 kids??? LOL Laura... I am jealous.... you look so absolutely beautiful and no tummy!!! you brougt tears to my eyes..... you are just so beautiful - but i thought you were even when you were heavy well, i'm going to finish watching the biggest looser loves ya all

thanks Laura that chicken with the oj must be really moist and juicy and I like the idea of the home made chicken tenders/nuggets. I do lots of chicken tenders, Tyson makes the best ones you can have 2-3 for 200 cals and 20 g protein. that is a meal for me. have a great afternoon all

Man... a size 0... should we all have those problems... oh wait... then I would not have met all you wonderful people who have touched my life in so many ways... I ran out of yogurt to make my shake so I made it with coffee icecream, (1/2 cup) some cold coffee, & protein powder. It was actually less cals and a nice change. I took out a pkg of turkey meat to make a burger before I go to my scrap book party tonight so I don't eat there. My SS gift should be going out on Friday, I'm going to start boxing it up tomorrow. My house is such a mess it is stressing me out, but I'm done for today, working on my 6th load of laundry - kids are all done, mine is done, and now working on towels. Working for 10 days straight I have not done a thing so I guess tomorrow I'll clean, today is laundry. Well, off to dry my hair and do round 2 of running, pick up ds and back home to get ready for this thing.

Ok gals, I'm really leaving... but I have to share... remember yesterday I said i was 2.5 heavier... that was 216.5 well, yesterday paid off and was what I needed. I just got on the scale and it was 211! going back in the right direction! and I was holding 216 for about a week so it was real weight.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!!! I am golden child today so I'll give you permission to skip today. LOL although... the pb balls are my absolute favorites... no wonder i'm not baking this year.

OK - I'm going to try those levi's. I am a huge fan and don't know why I even tried something else. off to freshen up to get ready for the gym and drop ds off at the sitter

Oh Thanks Terry - I'm going to Kohl's for the first time today so I'll check that out. or maybe not, maybe i'll wait until I get to onderland, give me something to work for. I have tried to give blood, but never make it past the paperwork. I get to the "any tattoos or body piercings in the last year" and I fail...speaking of... i'm just about due... LOL Maybe I'll get my next one right before our trip in May so it can heal and I won't be working. I am getting the top of my foot done

Morning gals what a horrible night sleep. I am so tired. I woke up with the worst headache ever. What can you do? I have not jumped on the scale yet - oh shoot, better not jump, I might break it. LOL I hope it moved, i thought I was pretty good yesterday - ok golden. Pam - I feel like a space case sometimes, I have lots of things i want to say but forget as I type. Tracyks- that is a good idea, go to bed instead of pace because of the munchie monster. LOL' another day gals.. CTC day

Kat- I have to... I am beating myself up because I'm 2.5lbs higher than my fill a month ago and I have to go see HIM next week. I can't deal with failure and I feel like I have. I was not going to ask for a fill but i'm going to. He was going to fill me to 1.5 and I said no 1 but I think 1.25 is my sweet spot. that was my original fill and my best place. I have my music (or some of it) downloaded and ready to go to the Y in the morning. I will be hard on myself, I will be back down to 208 by the 11th. I will be in onderland by the 1st of the year. PERIOD. OK who am I kidding, but I'm going to try my hardest. Tracyks - THANK YOU I was so upset about how those jeans looked on me, at least I got them on, but YUCK. I am going to JC Penny and going to try on some real Levi's, they are my favorite and I guess that is that. Keep your fingers crossed ladies that the scale moves tomorrow morning.

Pamela OMG i just almost fell off my chair, that was so funny... i am guessing today was eat the crap day?

hi guys I survived today, 2 shakes and some taco seasoned turkey burger, 1/2 c 2% cheese for dinner and 3 bottles of water. no more food for me today. I didn't get to the gym, something came up, but I did go to Walmart to get my mp3 player so I can have music for the morning. I got a hell of a deal. I got a pink 8gb RCA for $69 + start up kit for $10 to total of $79. I thought that was a great deal, well I just went online to get the link so I can show you all, and it was $96.78 online for the same thing as a special deal. HOLY CRAP I got a great deal! I didn't want to spend so much money but all the ones that I was looking at were tiny and I wanted a screen so I can see what I'm doing. so it is charging now and I'm going to download some music. I'm so happy. Now if I can get off some of the 10lbs I gained it will be golden. I would go tonight, but it is freezing rain here on and off all day and it is dark, 30degrees, windy and the roads are getting slippery, so my sweats are in the washer so i can be ready to go in the am. OH... so I was at walmart today, tried on faded glory size 16 low rise/bootcut.... I HATED THEM! they looked too tight and maybe I'm not use to wearing them, but yuck. How depressing... still a strong 16... Tracyks= how do you do it girl? I couldn't even think of a size 12 and you only have 10lb on me.... I am very impressed!!!! (at you... not me) here hanging playing with some music

Michelle I am doing shakes today, I usually do them 1 week a month to jump start or get my butt back on track, but I have been a mess since Aunt's funeral and Thanksgiving. and today is my 1st day off since Thanksgiving so I figured what a better time to start when I'm home for 2 days with no pizza shop food around. so I guess something to remind me what a fat ass I am would not be good.. LOL

I found an mp3 player at Walmart with a BMI calculator on it... would that just be torture to get it or motivation..???? anyone????

Michelle - I talk to myself like that all the time.... so I guess I've flipped my lid too. I walk by a mirror and rip myself apart, i put on clothes and rip myself apart, I stress and I swell, i'm a mess right now too. Well, there was a 2 hr delay this morning so dd just left for school. ds is getting himself dressed, I'm not going to shower, going to throw on my sweats and go to the gym and do a little running/shopping. I need to get out of this house! Tracyks- you look great, but I understand what you are saying. I'm bouncing around the same 5lbs that you are... Onderland is so close I can taste it but just can't get there...

Tracyks- you look great Laura - that is a nice color... you must be exhausted all that painting yesterday Pamela - I am just getting into lots of colors. My walls are a tan, in my living rooms and going through the hall upstairs, mom's room is a golden color, dd is bright green and ds's is Navy blue, and mine is a deep brown and I have chocolate accent colors in there. I am going to do my back room a rust color to match parts of my kitchen and my bathroom off the living room sage. I love warm colors. dd's room stresses me out completely but she likes it and I don't have to go in there. LOL well, I'm just getting in from work and going to pass out... tomorrow is a new day for me people. I have to do this and do it my way, I am not listening to people tell me not to hit the gym every day...

morning gals still in the dumps so kind of quiet Terry - love the top Tracyks - great NSV Gina - you opened your ss? I was going to put mine under my tree for xmas I don't get presents to open Tracyk- As of right now I have to long weekends planned, one in march for my Bday w/ the kids to an indoor waterpark at our SixFlags and May. As for my dbf... no gift giving between us, we use to but no more, not in the budget I had so much more i wanted to say yesterday but i got home late. work is trying right now, it is so busy. I was going to be sent home early last night and then the delevery guy pd me $10 to take the rest of his night, so with my tips and what he gave me, I made$30, not much but I'm going to get my mp3 player with it so I can start walking again. I am a lazy slug and have gained 10lbs, i feel like a failure and a pc of shit. Tomorrow morning I'm getting up, doing shakes and going to the gym. who cares if I don't walk as fast as everyone else, I just need to walk for 30 mins to get back into the swing of things, I felt so much better doing it. My work week and schedule has been out of control for the last 3 weeks, and Tomorrow starts a new week, and it is a normal week, Monday & Tues off, So what better time to start than a new week? Right? I am having a scrapbooking party Tuesday night which should be interesting. I need to practice self control. As for holiday parties, i don't get to go to one this year, my step mom will have a bowling party or something silly in January, so maybe I'll beable to justify a new pr of jeans for that. well, I'm off to finish getting ready for church.

Option is open... and it is ok... something I had from before my ds and can't part with just because..., it is actually a deep burgundy. that is my old sofa sleeper that i had to take the door jamb off to get out there. My kids put some of the decorations on the tree last night for me

Morning gals Terry - glad mom is doing better. Is your dd my dd's twin? mine was 13 in July and last measurement she was 5'7" and weighed 136. she went from a size 3 last year to a size 7 and honestly she was in denial. LOL but I tell her she is perfect and that is actually a good weight in comparison to her height. Can you pull weight charts to show her where she is and that she is perfect? Michelle ok here they are... sorry I look so shitty, just woke up and had dd take pics before she went to school, i'm drinking my 1st cup of coffee while I post. I also have a cropped black jacket that I wear all the time that would go nice over it that I would be happy to let you borrow and you would not hurt my feelings if it didn't work. Also know I don't have any spandex things on under it, I actually have on my flannel pj's on too, and if you need to have it altered at all that is ok, I got it for a new year party a few years ago, wore it once, had it cleaned and tucked away ... just in case. HUGS

Well ladies Remember I got new furniture 6 days ago??? well looks like something was spilled on the couch... and guess what I just found... a pc of gum ... WTF???? I know it was not my dd she doesn't chew gum... and if she does it is my orbit which is white or orange... so She is no longer allowed to have friends in the house until one of them admits they did it or lost gum.... period. I have insurance on it but shit... it is only 6 days old and I have to call them to have it cleaned already. I don't even want an apology, I want them to apologize to my mother, because she bought it and she is going to be pissed too. so my swelling was starting to go down... and now it is completely out of control again, I don't know if I can even drink water. I am off to get a couple things at walmart... and try to calm down

Great article Cindy - thanks for posting that oh... My favorite aunt and cousins live down there.... and hopefully where I will be in 5 years... ok 4 1/2 now. that was my 5 year plan I made when I was in Myrtle Beach for Easter. Everyone is so much nicer down south and here in NY

Morning gals welcome Cindy! Tracyks you are doing great, i'm still stuck but at this poing I'm just going to make it through the weekend and Monday start shakes and be super golden. I don't have grocery money til sunday and I am still swollen and bad choices are easier to eat at this point - and serious pms is not helping me make good choices. anyway. I bought 40lbs of boneless chicken from work and have to go in and seperate it and freeze indiviually freeze it at work before my shift today. I know, I can't really eat chicken but mom eats a lot and my dd loves grilled chicken so because I'm out of control she is too. But the chicken by the case was only $1.48/lb.. that is a great price for boneless/skinless chicken, I usually pay $1.99 at BJ's and think that is a great price. Tracyk- that is so sad I got an email from a friend today - I'm not big on sharing but it really sums up what keeps me going on a daily basis When God takes something from your grasp, He's not punishing you, but merely opening your hands to receive something better. Concentrate on this sentence....."The will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you"
