  1. OMG....I applaud you for doing so well without a fill. I doubt that you have stretched your stomach. the only restriction you have is just the band itself...you definitely need a fill without question IMO. The pain thing, I have not had them. Come on over to the main Shrinking Violets page. We are truly a sisterhood over there and would love to have you join our little family!
  2. Good morning violets! Terri-once again a beautiful necklace! Laura-sorry to hear you were blue yesterday. Men have a way of doing that to us from time to time Hope everything is better today. Jane-good job not giving into the sweet monster!! Jen-any news about the houston job? Tracy-glad you had a good time last night! I have not had any alcohol in so long that I can not quite remember what it tastes like. Judy-sorry your boys lost last night! Great NSV though!!! Kat-I wish I could win a 42" plasma TV!! When you said Rick could retire in 5-7 years I grew green with envy :eek: Cindy-sorry about your back!! I know how painful that can be. Take good care of yourself. Michelle-Like Tracy, I have never had a pedicure either. I have had a facial before and OMG I sure would like to get another one. Talk about pampering! OK ladies, this is not bragging by any means, kind of freakish to me actually. I always knew I had tiny legs and always wondered how they held up all this weight over the years BUT yesterday i had on a pair of shorts and was sitting down and it hit me how little they are now. I mean scarey little. I can take my thumb tips and connect them with my middle finger tips to make a circle around my ankle, drag all the way up to my knees and never touch my leg...can you get the visual? I mean never even touch skin at all, even over my calfs. I feel like I look goofy. Is it weird for me to wish I had more meat/muscle in my legs? The skinny legs are genetic from my dads side. I guess I will just have to work with what I have:straight Have a great day ladies!!
  3. I just did my "biggest loser" workout.....my legs feel like noodles have a great night violets
  4. PS Tracy-now do what I did and stay the heck away from the scales for a week or 2 so you don't risk seeing the 2something again!!!
  5. WOOOOOHOOOOOOO TRACY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am SO happy for you! Welcome to the ones...............YAY!!!!!!
  6. Good morning violets! Well yesterday I went and bought a few workout clothes. I needed some of those sports bras thingys cause my shirt ends up over my head when I am trying to exercise. So now I am going today to find the biggest loser cardio DVD. They did not have it at wal-mart (so what else is new) so I am going to Frys or best buy to get it. Then it will be official, I will have no excuse after that other than sheer laziness. I know the belly fat is a lost cause but may, just maybe I can get rid of the hanging chicken skin off these inner thighs. I have to if I want to wear a bathing suit in public. So what do all of you have planned this weekend?
  7. I wonder about crystal light tea?!
  8. I am so there.. Finances? I will just pull a double shift in the red light district and I should have plenty! LOL I still vote splash mtn....
  9. Laura-I almost spewed slimfast when I read that "hose R us" line!! LMAO Terri-check out our tickers...same weight same BMI...cool. :confused: I hope I am not shooting myself in the foot by scheduling another fill but I really think I need one. I hate driving in Houston though...UGH. Everyone have a great evening!
  10. OMG....I am so NOT supposed to be on here at work....oh well. Hi everyone...I just had to tell you all that i realized at lunch today that I could eat a cow if I wanted to! It was all veggies but still....I ate way more than I should be physically able to. So, I got on the phone and have an appt for a fill on Wednesday. Gotta run before I get busted..(((((((((((hugs))))))))))))
  11. Good morning violets! TGIF....hope you all have a great day! I am going to be bored bored bored at work today. I sure wish the boss was not going to be there. But, at least it is Friday. Judy-glad we were able to get you out of your funk. You have helped us pull out of ours so it was time for some payback As far as water goes, I am like Judy in that respect. I drink it all day every day. It is just a habit to me now. YAY!!! I had the biggest loser recorded and I watched it last night. I really liked it. I wonder what happened to Kim? They do not even mention her on their website either...hmmmmmmm I would love to have either Bob or Jillian as a trainer. They are so good! Have a great day sistas! Pamela-did you hear BB is coming back on in Feb? woohooo
  12. By the way...welcome to the new ladies...Shannon & Nancy!! (and anyone else my poor brain may have forgotten)
  13. WOOT Laura...you are on a roll babe....Good 4 U !!!!
  14. Congrats Panda....I loved my pregnancy...sick all 9 months and everything, but still loved it! I am SO happy for you! My neice called me 2 days ago and she is pregnant with her first child too!! Have a great day violets!
  15. Judy? Haydee? Hi violets!! It is so nice for everything to be back to normal again. All unpacked & things are put away. Holidays are over...life does not get any better. I have a pic I want to post...maybe I will do it this weekend. About 6 months ago (around there) dh and I went to an Astros ballgame and they gave away t-shirts that day (Jeff Bagwell for those who know who he is) anyway, theyonly handed out XL and when I got home I put it on and it was so tight I felt like I was wearing a condom (or at least I guess that is wht it would feel ike since I AM a female, lol). Back then, I asked dh to take my pic with it on. The other day I put it on and was sure it was probably still snug...not at all. It fit perfectly. So, now I will take an after with it on and show you all. HUGE NSV for me. Everyone have a great evening!
  16. Good morning Violets- I am ready for work. I wanted to pop in and say hello. Suzie-phase 10 is my absolute favorite!!! I hope you all have a wonderful day. Denise & Laura-hope you are both feeling better today!!
  17. Pam, Terri & Tracy, sounds like nice NYEs' you had! I am cooking the peas & cabbage right now. Tracy-you are not the only one who has a hopping scale, I am so glad it is a new year! Mine will officially start tomorrow. I need to wake up dd. She has been waking up at 2:00 AM every morning for some reason, the last thing she needs to be doing is sleeping right now! Have a great night sistas!
  18. Speaking of hangovers....where is our gorgeous Michelle??? :party:
  19. Happy New Year!! :whoo::whoo::whoo: :dance::dance::dance: :party: :party: :party: Wow, what a year we violets have had! This year is going to be even more awesome for us, I just know it! So, are you all having your cabbage & black-eyed peas today? I sure am. YUM YUM! I am making cornbread too but that is for dh...I can not stand that stuff. Everyone have a great day!
  20. Happy New Years' Eve everyone.... Be Safe :scared:
  21. Tracy-what a cute swimsuit!! Jenn-I would get something to hang up and fit into as a goal...but, thats just me. I am gonna go look at B&As...then go get my dd, dsd and dss. Take care......
  22. Good morning violets... I really don't have anything planned for New Years Eve. I have to work and dss and dsd are coming over today so they will be with us for the new year! First time they have slept at the new place and they are excited. Macy has been with my sister this weekend and she called me last night saying macy said her "cheek" hurts and was crying for me. Broke my heart! I think it is her ear. I am waiting for my sis to call me this morning to let me know how it went last night. Last time I talked to her she had given her some ibuprofin and ice cream and all was well. I hope it is not anything like an ear infection. The dr is probably closed until the 2nd. Went to wal-mart yesterday and got some 12/14 cotton pants (elastic waist) got home and put them on and was drowning in them. I know that cotton and elastic=bigger than normal but it was just the idea of exhanging an artical of clothing and getting a size with a single digit in it. I got 8/10 and they fit perfectly. Wow....the only single digit things I have ever worn is my rings and my shoes. Huge NSV for me! Back up to 184 today but that is not bad considering I ate WELL last night. DH and I went to a steakhouse and I had a ribeye, salad and some sweet potato. Laura-I love that VS top! Congrats on the new size! Maybe I will go look at the stuff on their website :thumbs_up: Pamela-I like the bigger font you use, I can actually read it with no squinting! Suzie-that happened to me. I had an outfit in the closet (never worn) that I was dying to get into and I had to bring it to my mom the other day to take up because it is way too big now. Great feeling! Kat-sounds like a great NYE party you are going to. Can I go? :present: I bought an exercise ball yesterday (you know the big ones that you can sit on and lay on?) It comes with a DVD and I am going to start the new year out correctly and see if maybe these little fat wrinkles on my upper inner thighs will go away. I can tell I am just rambling now so I will go finish my coffee now and see what the TV says we have in store as far as weather is concerned. We have an auditor coming tomorrow to work to do year end inventory with us. Needless to say I plan on getting to work about 5:30 or 6 in the morning to get things as straight as possible before they arrive. Someone just shoot me now....
  23. Michelle-here are some naner boobies (hope pam doesn't mind!) :Banane20::cheated::Banane20::Banane20::Banane20::Banane20::Banane20::Banane20::Banane20::Banane20::Banane20::Banane20::Banane20: I agree with Kat....that dress looks a helluvalot better on YOU than in the pics!! Look at that hourglass figure you have working!!! GO GIRL!!!!!!!
  24. Oh, and my bands name is WIT. Meaning "whatever it takes"!!!
