Okay the tip/quote/inspirations/etc will not happen over the weekend. I was thinking if we could get one more person we could have the 5 weekdays covered, if we get three more, then everyday of the week would be covered. Any takers??? If you take it you have first choice of your day!! It is supposed to be warm this weekend!! So odd it was 10 Wednesday and 70 on Sunday? Wow!!! Okay everyone have a great evening and weekend, and Suzie you have done a GREAT job of motivating me to drink more water!!!! Jane

Well I haven't heard from my Dr. about the Ct scan I had on Monday, it really is no big deal since it is not serious, but I am left to wonder, and I know she got the results because I had to take them over after the test! It just aggravates me that Dr.s are no nonchalant (sp) about test results. There were times where it was serious and I was on pins and needles, do they not understand this? This time it just aggravates me!!! I hope everyone is doing better today! It is sooo hard to get back on track!!! Yesterday it was a good thing that I was busy at work because I had a hollow leg all day!!! I could have eaten and eaten!! Well off to work!! Have a good day! By the way Jennifer I sent you some lottery tickets about a month ago or so when you were talking about needing to win the lottery, did you win anything? Jane

So far Pam, Kat, Suzie and I have agreed to do the tip of the day, should it be a tip of the week? Should one person be in charge of a week? Let me know, I am up for anything. My next question is it something that helps people? Or annoys them? Have a good night!!! Jane

I agree with Laura Judy!!!! You have done so well, it is like the biggest loser, you may not have lost the most but the percentage is far greater than a lot of us!!! Are you feeling the purple?????? Jane

Laura, they better give you two cartons for the grief they caused you!!! I took deep breaths as per Kat, and feel better already!!! It is cold here and am in for the night!!! My nephew is coming over and wants me to list his laptop computer on Ebay for him. Other than that slow week!! My house is a mess so I can clean with my extra time!! Suzie good quotes and help with my water!!! Thanks, Jane

Michelle, you looked magical!!! Jane- Shrinking Violets -- April 07 Bandsters
8 to 10 is a lot, it just penetrated my skull!!!- Shrinking Violets -- April 07 Bandsters
DAILY TIP!!!! Add just one fruit or veggie serving daily. Get comfortable with that, then add an extra serving until you reach 8 to 10 a day. Do we want to do this? So far Kat and Suzie have said they would like to. If so Kat can do tomorrow and Suzie the 3rd and from there I will make a more detailed calendar. By the way today is CUT THE CRAP DAY!!!!!! WHAT AN APPROPRIATE DAY!!!!!!- Shrinking Violets -- April 07 Bandsters
Pam, I liked the story!! I can't imagine eighty dollars for dinner, I bet you were SHOCKED!!! But I love doggie bags!!! When I go to relatives house I take a regular plateful and then get a doggie bag!!! My Aunt expecially cooks so good!! Well I slept late and am now not as crabby!!! I sort of chuckled when Terry wrote what wonderful attitudes (or something like that!) we had for the new year after I just got done with the long long rant!!! It is amazing what sleep does for me!!! I get sooooo crabby without it the older I get, it used to not bother me at all. Okay I am rambling have a great day!!!- Shrinking Violets -- April 07 Bandsters
Can't sleep, no alcohol for me last night. I went to the ENT yesterday for a very drippy nose at times. It is just clear, I don't have any other symptoms, but after a couple of months it was driving me crazy!! She said it was one of two things. Allergies, which would be the simplest and probably most expensive with allergy shots and stuff or a CSF leak!! She said that it happens to women between 35 and 55 and they don't know why! She said that if that is the case they just go up through the nose take a little cartiledge out and plug up the hole that is leaking the fluid!! She says it is no big deal! HELLO it is my nose leading up to my brain that we are dealing with! Plus the fact that we as women are dealing with enough BS that is associated with being a woman!!! I know I am ranting, and it really is no big deal either way, but I wanted a pill to make my drippy nose stop!!!! How come I get the weird stuff? Has anyone else heard of this? It is Aunt Flo time so I am probably (for sure) more sensitive than normal, but give me a break!!! I just wanted my nose to stop running!!!!!! Okay I am done, starting out the new year b#%^&%!! Jane- Shrinking Violets -- April 07 Bandsters
Just wanted to wish everyone a happy and healthy new year! This past year has been one of changes, all good for me! I wish only the best for everybody!!! Heres to a good 2008 and thank each and everyone of you for making it so special for me!! Jane- Shrinking Violets -- April 07 Bandsters
I just burned the cookies that I had in the oven looking at the before and after pics!!! Neat!!! Maybe I will try to post those that Tracyks did for me!!! Jane- Shrinking Violets -- April 07 Bandsters
Wow Laura that is amazing!!! Nothing like pictures to tell the truth and show us where we are going and where we have been!!!!! CONGRATS TO YOU LAURA AND EVERYONE ELSE AS WE ENTER THE NEW YEAR SKINNIER AND HEALTHIER THAN LAST YEAR!!!!!!- Shrinking Violets -- April 07 Bandsters
Okay here comes a really really stupid question, I can't find the before and after pics. I am not very computer literate and they were not mentioned anywhere on the home page!! Terry, Necklace is gorgeous!!! Great work!!! Tracyks, swimsuit looks great!!! You gals are soo great taking pics in swimsuits and underwear!! I am sitting here sliming big time on some chicken I have eaten. Worst one ever!!!! I was thinking of the new year and everyone who wanted to participate having one day that they post an idea or suggestion for weight loss or just personal improvement. What do you guys think? Anyone want to do this? I can get a schedule with everyones name and dates on it so we know when is our day. It could be a silly idea... Jane- Shrinking Violets -- April 07 Bandsters
That dress is great Michelle!!!- Shrinking Violets -- April 07 Bandsters
Terry, never been to urban outfitters, sounds like a real eye opener!!! I really wish I would have had kids, but at times like this I don't know how I would have handled the situation, so I am glad I don't. It is scary the things the kids know and do at this young age!!! Plus it makes me feel old!!!!!!! I just looked at the clock and have one minute to get in the shower and ready for work!!! Bye and have a great day!!! PURPLE POWER TO YOU DENISE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jane- Shrinking Violets -- April 07 Bandsters
OH MY GOSH TRACY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU LOOK GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOUR WEIGHT LOSS IS INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cindy, sounds great!!!!! I am still thinking of my bands name! Can't decide if it is a boy or girl!! jane - Shrinking Violets -- April 07 Bandsters
