Michelle - congrats for being down. slow and steady wins the race!!!! Pamela - I hope you have a better day today Laura - I agree with Tracy, love the tramp stamp. they are addicting, I'm getting ready to do another one - or add to the one on my ankle, I want to bring it down and wrap it around my foot some how. Not sure yet, I put a lot of thought into mine since I'm stuck with them forever

TracyKS - I know exactally what you are saying about setting goals. I joined the Labor Day challange and wanted to be down to 200 by Monday. LOL... no way that is happening... but I am closer than I was a month ago when I set the challange. I may still be mental about lots of things, but I do realize that no matter what ... I / we are all doing a great job and numbers don't always matter!!!! I know I am the most critical of myself, but I do know and starting to convince myself. I AM 66+LBS LESS THAN I WAS ON MY BDAY IN MARCH, so even if I don't see it others must. So YOU WILL BUTTON THOSE JEANS and it may not be this week but it may be next.... when you least expect it, try them on! you may be surprised. You look so fantastic and are so cute. Well, I am not even going to weigh myself today after all I munched on yesterday, but tomorrow is another day. Back to work today ... yuck!

Denise. I am so sorry - I don't know what I would honestly do but I can give you what I think. If she had the balls to call you, then maybe you can give her 1 last chance but give her a list of conditions? Seriously take the time to think about what you want her to do to prove herself and let her know it is not a 3 strike out deal. 1 strike and she is back out and will not be allowed back in without rehab and extensive work? just a thought. Make her sign an agreement with your stips on it so she knows you are serious. TracyKS - you are so awesome, you have such a great attitude Judy, niceyou are back, again, disney for a week and you are still my hero! Nice job as usual! night all

Ok all this food talk... bad bad bad I had roughly 1300 cals today and hey were not good yogurt 4oz chicken w/fiesta sour cream to keep moist 2.5oz steak zuccini.... so that is not the really bad part tonight mini 150 cal choc/carmel cake 120 cal peanut butter cup ice cream Eddy's 1/2 fat 100 cal salsa sun chips 80 cal 2% cheese That is a complete waste of almost 400 cals. What the heck was I thinking. although the sunchips and cheese actually hit the spot so I think i'm done... oh shoot, lets add in the 200 cals for the pizza bites.... good thing tomorrow is liquid shake day... YIKES next time I think I'll start with the sun chips. Off to bed. catch up on sleep on my night off

All this talk about food tonight... I'm going to gain back the 6lbs I lost last week. LOL I had 3 pizza bites, didn't do it for me, still want something.... tomorrow is 2 shakes and salad thing again until Sat. Going to get my dd some pb ice cream and will find something for me to much on. I don't have a problem having 1 bad night a month. It keeps me sane. Stacie - I am so sorry that you are having such a hard time. It is all such a head game. I am one of the lucky ones, only 1 small fill and I have been good for over a month with it. I have a hard time eating lots of things so it is a bit easier for me, but mentally, I beat myself up. Stay strong, you will find your grove. This is a great and very supportive group. Give us your problems, we will do our best to help.

didn't I put x friend???/ that is the neighbor I've mentioned who will not talk to me anymore since surgery and said I only cared about myself and was a horrible person. I miss our friendship but have grown so much over the past 4 months that I know she was not a true friend - but someone who was holding me back. It just really sucks that she can't suck it up for the kids and be civil at cheerleading - Oh well TracyK - I don't get that depressed about food but sometimes I do miss it. I love sauce and work in a pizza shop!!! I made pizza using a slice of eggplant instead of bread and was satisfied. Started getting pitas so I can have a sandwich. Throw some stuff out there... I'll ponder some ways to alter it ... I love to cook and am good at it. I do miss drinking like that some times. I use to drink a lot, every day 2-3 drinks. not beer. vodka...tequila... good stuff... strong stuff. For me to have 1 small drink is a major accomplishment for me, when I use to go out I would have 8-9 doubles. I could not go out without dropping $50 on drinks alone. I cried and cried a couple weeks ago about missing that, and then had bf issue and had 1 drink. I have had 3 total in 4 months and they were all recently. So no you are not alone

OK, I do like broc/cheese and potato cheese soup. off to cheerleading, the nightmare of my life!!!!!!!!!!!x friend is the coach and treats me like shit!!!!! the things I do for my dd

You guys are funny, I did 4 days of protein shakes last week but had a small bowl of lettuce and tuna with it for dinner. I ate this weekend and just had a steak and some zucunni. Tomorrow is protein shake and salad again for the rest of the week. I am not a soup fan, love my black bean soup and that is about it. Judy... maybe getting ready for her 2nd vacation????? Lucky duck LOL

I have this stuff, I got it from TastefullySimple. They have the best spices.. It is Salsa seasoning, you add to tomatoes, onions, or what ever you want in there and YUMMY. I know they have seasoning mixes in the grocery store too, either in the mexican isle or where the packets of different seasons are. I forgot how to make from scratch...

Hi everyone. I made it to the gym and then to the er with my sitter, her cats ran out of the bedroom just as she was coming out of the bathroom and tripped her, sending her flying head first into the door jamb!!!!! I have never seen anything like it. She is not even dizzy or anything. Denise - you will be in my thoughts and prayers... as well as your DD! You look great Tracyks - did I mention how cute you guys look, and you son is so cute Kat, that sounds so yummy

Night all, just getting in from work and checking in. I'm going to get up in the am and go to the gym. going to try to get my time in this week. Denise. I'm so sorry to hear what you are dealing with. I can't even imagine but send you good thoughts.

Welcome back Judy!!!!!!!!!! Glad you had a good time, I'm sure drinking water you will get rid of those lbs quickly! You are the woman!!!

Laura. I'm sure that was a crazy day, but boy sounds funny from the outside. Wow, after accident 2 I would probably not get back on and take it as a sign or ride more responsibly. So - friday, I was on my way to drop off my bff, we went out for the morning to take care of health insurance stuff and on my way to drop her off, a co worker was waiting for the bus to get to work, we stopped and asked him if he wanted a ride blah blah blah. We drop off my friend and then I bring him to work, come home - get changed - pack a bag because I was going out after work and go to work. I was going out with the guy I use to work with. Slow and steady> Yes dbf is still around but as much as it breaks my heart, i'm loosing him more and more every day, and all is going back to his accident and his extreme depression, they wanted to admit him to a mental hospital for a month! Anyway...I went out and had a great time. This guy treats me like I know I should be, but I don't have those feelings. While we were there a group of bikers came into the bar. Man, this one guy was so hot! But first of all I am there with someone else... second... I don't have an ounce of confidence in myself even if I was not there with another guy. I leave the bar (only had 1 drink - so proud of myself there) but because I worked all night and it is now 3am, I called bff I was with earlir in the day, woke her up to keep me awake going home. She asked if I got my email - of course not. so come to find out she sent me an email asking what was going on with me and co worker! WHAT!!!!! He is like a big brother to me, which is ironic since he heard all these horrible things about me from dbf's x and didn't like me until he got to know me. Now we are very good friends. No more than that. Here is what I got out of all this. I love attention. It is approval for me and makes me feel good about myself. I still see myself as being 65lbs heavier - when I was younger, i did use sex for attention - There is too much crap out there and it scares me, so I would not do that now, but to know someone is interested makes me feel good, like there is hope for me. I don't feel like i look good enough to be with a guy like the hot harley guy in the bar so I won't even attempt talking anyone new. I love my biker friends I do have, but they are just people i see out, How do i meed a crew like that I can be part of? How can I meet someone that can help me move on when I can't even talk to someone new? I am so mental. My bff said to me at 3am, I KNEW IT... I knew you were going to be one of those people I see on Dr. Phil that can never see themselves as anything but fat. We laughed, but I am afraid it is true. Oh well. Off to church... I don't go as often as I should, but boy have I been doing soul searching over the last 10 months since I started going (dbf's accident changed my life!)

Kat - I have to lecture,... I know you know better... HELMET!!!!! dbf is mental but things have been much worse since his head injury. He was stopped in traffic and a car flew out of a parking lot across 3 lanes and in the 4th one was dbf stopped on his bike. needless to say, bike is totaled and his helmet saved his life. He now wears a full helmet. just getting in from the worst night ever. I am disgusting, going to shower and go to bed.

hi everyone. just popping in real quick, just woke up from the best sleep ever and now off to work. Suppose to hit 100 here today and tropical..... Last night was interesting and my bf had some very interesting words for me. Kat - I can function on very little sleep - something I've always been able to do. TracyK _ YOU LOOK FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!! Hair cut is nice but you look so cute. Did you darken your hair too?

Morning everyone i just got back from breakfast, 3 hrs sleep, went out after work last night. I'll fill you all in later when I can think...I am going to sleep for a couple of hours, it is my night on the ovens and it is high 90's and tropical. If i don't sweat out 10lbs tonight i'll be shocked!!! Terry - you taking orders for bracelets????? my bf is jealous and said you should go in business, she will be your first paying customer!!! LOL

I don't know if I'm going to make goal by next week but maybe close if I keep up what I'm doing ChrisNJ.....great job!

Michelle - congrats on the 5lb loss!!!!!!!!!! I agree with you and it makes sense. how can you eat things you know are not good and expect to lose. It is a life change and by time we get to our goals or closer to them, we will not even think twice about the choices we are making with food and times we eat. I make pretty good choices but still have a hard time loosing, so if I drop 10lbs doing a liquid phase I know with my regular eating patterns I have set I can maintain that loss. That is so much progress for me it is amazing!!! I don't think that was a lecture. LOL

Morning TracyK - I see you

Morning ladies I hate noise too, my dd always has the tv so loud i tell her the neighbors can hear it. now that dm is back she encourages it. ughhhh so I went to bed nice and early last night. well it was getting muggy when I went to bed, something happened to a transformer or something and we lost power, ceiling fans went off and it got so uncomfortably hot - ds woke up freaking out because night light was out and he couldn't see so they all ended up in bed with me. so very tired, my back is killing me and I had to get up because I have an 11am appt that I am not ready for. so speaking of headaches, did I mention i closed my trunk/back hatch door on my head yesterday trying to balance a case of water on my leg? ok so my immediate tought was OMG if I'm bleeding no one is here and i'll have to call 911 and explain that. I saw stars so I would have called if there was blood. I was not bleeding but holy smokes, do i have an egg on my head and it is so very tender. And on a happy note. I am down another lb today, so I'll officially claim my mini goal from yesterday. I don't know if I'm going to meet my exercise challange for this month - which stresses me out. but it is a bad month. at least I'm going when i can - which is much more than I would have 4 months ago! Terry - you can do it on liquids, if I can with no fill... you will be fine. Maybe jumpstart a loss. You look fantastic!

Night all, i'm going to go to bed nice and early, have to get up early in the morning to deal with health insurance stuff. then to the sweat shop. going to get hot here again tomorrow, thank goodness

Terry thank you sooooooooooooo much. I think you saw the necklace I have that matches it...? I love my WWJD bracelet!!!

LOL that is funny... I use to listen to that back in the day, I was a freshman in highschool when he was over here... very true Laura, it is crazy, a happy meal is what the size of a regular meal was 30 years ago.

No secrets... but.. i say do it now and party later. well survived another day of liquid diet.... waiting for electrician... i hate wating for people. man, my living rooms are not very big, i have a huge wrap around fireplace that divides the space and a big coffee table. Well, my mom got one of those giant size exercise balls, guess who loves it most. my insane ds (3) and watching him run and jump on it on his belly right towards the corner of the fireplace is making me slightly crazy... can you just imagine? I need a mental break
