Shrinkin' Violets- Part 2 Read Here
Wow Laura!!! Talk about odd!!! I guess that what happens to some very immature people. I hope she doesn't think life is not full of complications!! Maybe she has just lead a very sheltered life, it is sad though. Trying to get motivated to clean some more. I spent yesterday switching my files and SHREDDING!!! I have two big bags to take to the recycle place. My house seems like a bigger mess today! Need to clean up from my cleaning!! I am going to hop in the shower, good thing I waited to after I read that post, need one after that!! Jane

Judy, how about a purple tipped one!!! That spoon thing is really a good idea!! Can someone send me the link about the before and after, I am not smart enough to figure out how to find it!!! Okay I am wanting to clean my files out today, and box up 2007 and move in 2008. Did I tell you that paying (self pay) for my band REALLY helped for a nice tax refund??? I am such a procrastinator!!! Did I spell that right?? Oh well have a nice day!!

I just checked and the fill place is in Farmington Mo, which is a very odd place I think. There is nothing there, so I am surprised to find that. It is about 2 or 3 hours away. It is $349 for a fill. I wish this was easier!! I guess that what happens when I go to a Dr. that doesn't have a big practice....

Colorado chick, I third what Judy and Tracy said. I was so worried before I had it done, I think of all that time I wasted worrying... I did something sad earlier, after work I stopped by the funeral home because that woman whose hair I cut that had ALS died. It was very very sad. She worked with wildflowers and they were beautiful!!! She and her whole family were very special people. I am taking my sadness out on a bad thing... Never, I repeat never go grocery shopping after a long day at work and then the funeral home!!! Jane

Don't want to go to work today!!!! Terry he does fills one day a MONTH!! The fourth Friday of the month for 2 hours!!! The only problem with a fill center is I have already paid for the first two years of Dr.s appointments and fills, but when I get home from work tonight I will google fill centers and see if there is one in St. Louis. I finally figured out I am being a big baby about all this. Susie, love the sig thingy!! I loved Bewitched growing up. I remember I asked my dad when I was little who the most beautiful woman was (he should have said my mom or ME) but he said Elizabeth Taylor, well I knew the girls name on Bewitched was Elizabeth so I thought my dad thought she was the most beautiful woman on earth! My dad is a great guy by the way even if he did give the wrong answer!! Well I am avoiding the unavoidable, off to hop in shower!! Jane

Tracyks, seems like you have a doomed weekend in front of you!!! I am glad about the Gruene trip! I bet when you are dealing with more than just one person things do get in the way!!! I was only sick Friday and part of Saturday. It was one of those things that was quick. I did manage to lose about 5 pounds during it. I just wish it was after the weight challenge so I could claim that!!! I hope all other sick violets get well!!! Off to work!! Jane

Pam, I liked Tracys idea of a virtual pizza too!! I am with you can not stand Natalie. Her voice gets on my nerves something fierce!!! It was funny how Chelsia kept it cool until the last few days!! My internet was down this morning and couldn't get on. I went to work missing my morning violet read!!! THERE WAS NOT A CANCELLATION FOR THE FILL DR. SO NOW I HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL THE END OF APRIL. I AM SOOOO MAD!!!! Venting should help me huh! I hope you feel better Kat!!! Well I also remembered that I forgot to do my tip yesterday!!! Bad Jane!

Laura hope you feel better and stay that way! I can't imagine how frustrating that must be!! Came home from work early, went in and was busy, but then the day fell apart. Lots of vacations and spring breaks right now. My new fill Drs office called me today, when I made an appointment last time they told me Friday April 4th. They said he only sees band patients on the last friday of the month so they would have to reschedule me to April 25!! I said I really needed a fill, and was really looking forward to getting one next Friday. Does he have anything left this Friday, she said no. I complained more and she said let me talk to his nurse, and then she came back and said it won't hurt me to wait and that I just needed to watch what I ate til then!!! EASY FOR HER TO SAY!!!! I am just very very frustrated with the situation. I told her to keep me in mind for a cancellation and that I would call tomorrow and hope he has one!! I really don't want to wait another month. I can't imagine that he only does them once a month!!! Oh well I can only hope that he gets a cancellation. Jane

Terry I feel the same way about Laura, I hope everything is fine. This is the total of what I ate today!! Totals: 1,410 calories 64gfat 77g Protein too much fat but okay with calories may even eat a 100 calorie thing. I signed on to use daily plate and it is pretty easy. I am happy so far with it!! It told me how many calories to eat to lose 2 pounds a week. Purple thoughts and prayers with Laura!!

Hey Violets!!! I slept late, then piddled, I did weigh this morning and it was 245. I had set my goal weight at 140 and when I did that thing that Terry sent a link to it was 161! But, the medical versions were 97 to 129 so I am not sure. I am only five feet. I like the idea of percentage lost vs what are goal weight is, but I really don't care that much to make a difference. Well I am off to take a shower, get my taxes (getting a refund back from Federal thanks to my band! State I am breaking even.) For the first time I am going to have it put in my bank account and then pay my 1st quarter separate. Then I have to go to work!! Have a good day!!! Laura I hope you are okay!!!!! Jane

Kat glad your dad is well. Good for you for standing your ground with Lindzie with the Easter Basket. I listened to The Violets, and I have just reaffirmed the fact that I am old! At least I don't have a bunch of cats!!! Well tomorrow is the big day! I bought a pair of jeans from Catherines in a SIZE 5!!!! Really it just their new sizing system that is suppose to be better, the only thing I can say that is better is that I can say I wear a size 5!! They were a bit small, I was about 1 to 2 inches away from buttoning them, and I was going to take them back, but now maybe I will hang on to them and make a vow not to shop for clothes til after May 1st. I am rambling sorry, have a good one and see everyone in the morning!!

I think that Laura has the right idea. Because I can lose more weight than any of you, because I still have so much to go, so that wouldn't be fair. So Laura can you be the official % person?? I am a hairdresser not an actuary!! By the way the sun is gone!

I watched the show I can make you thin, and it is really interesting!! All that tapping last night, I am an emotional eater, but can't say my stress is over a 5 or so. I think next week when he talks about cravings may help me more!! But last night during dinner, I noticed that no one put there fork down between bites! Even the skinny ones!! I see the sun peeking out!!!!! I am soo happy!!! The only problem is I might be blinded, but it is such a rare occurance these days I am sure by the time I leave it will be gone. All those on liquids GO, GO, GO!! and GOOD LUCK!!!! Don't know what I am going to do today other than lunch with a friend. I might go see a movie, love, love, love going to a movie by myself! Lost some weight, but I think it was the stomach flu. Also that show told you not to weigh yourself but every other week. Wonder if I can wait two!!! Have a good one!
