Amanda (aka Lunasa) where are you?

Jenn-glad to hear about the cash!! Lets hope you are on a roll!! Haydee-that avatar was awful! I will do another one soon. Thanks for the compliment though!! Terri-I am so sad that you are sad!! I wish I could give you a great big violet hug! Kat-I sure hope Kinsey gets to feeling better soon! Judy-you are so fortunate to have your dh to go through this with you! I am jealous! Panda-I hope you feel better!! TracyKS-my dsd WANTS braces, not needs them, wants them. All her friends have them so she wants them too. She has a small gap between her front teeth...like most kids do, SO, her mom is gonna let her get them and stick us with half the bill just so dsd can be in the "in" crowd. UGH....enough about that. I could go on and on about that but I will spare you! lol Well, I gotta get supper ready. Take care everyone!!

Kat-I hated my avatar....Until I can take a good pic, I will just keep that one!! Skinny mini? I doubt it!! Sounds good though!!

Michelle...even city folks bring their kids to the "good neighborhoods" to trick or treat....I do!! LOL

Jeans...I never have been able to find any that really fit well other than stretchy ones...w/elastic waist. Since my legs are so skinny, if I get ones that fit in the waist I look like I am wearing really long baggy capris that go to the floor. So, for now I will stick with wal-mart. Besides, most "people" do not look at the name brand, but how good your body (butt) looks in them! (I would say "men" but, since I am a happily married woman.....) anywhoooooo LOL My best guy friend at work yesterday got a call that his dd (4 years old) was in a wreck with her aunt & uncle. He bolted out of there and I got physically sick with worry. Good news is that they are all OK...thank God! Everyone have a great day today....

I still can't wait....

My goodness....all of your B & A's are SO awesome!!! Makes me not wanna post any LOL Jenn-you are being way too hard on yourself. We are all our own worst critics though! You look fantastic!! Michelle-don'tcha just love it when the wooshes come around? They are the best!! Good for you! Judy-The side and back pics just blow me away!! You look awesome! Great job! Terri-how are things? Pamela-LOL I thought I was just a purse holder too....until I got on one of my friends 4wheelers and they had to pry me off of it. Too much fun!! Everyone have a great evening!!

Great job Dense...I can see a big difference..way to go girl!!! Terri-my thoughts & prayers are with you during this trying time! Kat-your dream sounds like great fun. Me & Macy will be there this weekend (I wish) I hate to have such a short post but my dh OT is gone at work so I have to kick up my work hours to try to take up some of the slack. Gonna be some rough holidays around SE Texas...ugh. But, been there and done that. We made it before, we will make it again. Everyone have a great day!

Wow...yesterday must have just been "blizzard day". Now I feel much better knowing that I am amongst a group of sinners!! LOL I can't think of a better group of folks to be associated with!!!

Everyone has different ideas of treats every once in a while vs. not. I am a not. I am more of a "Hi, my name is Tracy and I am a junk-a-holic". So, one blizzard for me is like one drink to an alcoholic. Last night was a binge, but after six and a half months...I am not gonna be too hard on myself. Next time when I get that kind of craving it should not be that bad because I actually did not enjoy it as much as I thought I would....so it will be easier to "just say no".

OMG....no LBT all day yesterday pushed me into a DQ blizzard frenzy last night!! (no joke) I tried all day to get in here and then finally last night I was craving sweets really badly, so I tried to log in once more for support...I had nobodys phone number because I did not print it out and then went to DQ and got a blizzard. UGH...what a sinner To top it off, I just realized (as I am typing this) that I have the list the Kat sent me in my e-mail...what a dummy. To realize that all of those calories could have been avoided with one phone call to one of the violet sistas! UGH...oh well, whats done is done and today is a new day. (note to self....print the flippin list out) By the way, who would not mind being a long distance help line in case of a food crisis? I don't wanna bug anyone.... Terri-you are a great daughter! I hope things are better for you now! Jane-what you said makes sense and you know what? It is a mind game...you are thinking and feeling what we have all thought at one time or another. Like the little devil sitting on your shoulder saying "EAT IT...come on you know you want to" and the lapband angel on the other shoulder saying "no no no, I am just a tool to help you make good choices!" Look whos talking, right...ms snicker blizzard herself...LOL. But, like I said, today is a new day, LBT is back up and running and I can't let the past dictate the future. The food choices have to be made every meal...not a day ahead or 3 hours ahead but the minute the food is on its way in your mouth. Its not easy, but, nothing worthwhile is easy. Now I am probably rambling...and I am sure I am just saying things you already know...but it doesn't hurt to be reminded sometimes Especially from people who care. Group hug :car: Denise-you are doing great too....just a little bump in the road, but after you talk to your dr I am sure you will be in onederland in no time!! DD is coming home today...wooohoooo!! I really miss her. I am planning on bringing her to an assisted living home to trick or treat. The place had flyers at her school and I thought it would be a sweet thing to bring her to see them. I am sure that alot of them are quite lonely and if we can brighten their day, what a treasure it will be. Just the smiles on the residents faces will make it all worthwhile. After that I will bring her door to door for a while. I sure did miss you guys yesterday! I need to gets some odds & ends done before my dd arrival....I will pop back in later.

I stay COLD all the time too. But we do not have as much insulation on our bodies as we used to either, so that is probably why!! LOL Laura-you look GREAT!! PS...I can skip the "sexy 101" classes. I got it!! :car:

Love the costume Laura!! Can't see the B&A though...

By the way panda....love the ticker

Michelle-you look great! Keep up the good work!! Jenn-I agree...your ds is adorable!!! Judy-RIGHT!! Patience & Trust You can't relinquish your pom poms....you make the cutest cheerleader!! Haydee-how are you? Kat-love the "c"s :mad: I would be frustrated too! Terri....where are you? Hi & bye again everyone.....

Good morning violets.... Off today:whoo::whoo:wooohoooo!! I need to get dressed and go pay some bills and do some running around. I will check back in later. Take care!!

:clap2::clap2::clap2:YAY MICHELLE!!:clap2::clap2::clap2: Congratulations!!

TracyKS....you look fantastic! :clap2::clap2::clap2: My plans for the weekend just shifted into a different direction. My sister calls me wanting "her baby" (my dd) right now!! So, Macy is gone until Sunday. So, I asked for tomorrow off from work A long childless weekend for me By tomorrow night I am going to be missing her so badly though. Now, what to do with myself. Number one is to find a thigh master and buy one of those exercise balls. Hey, the episode of the biggest loser....am I the only one that is pissed off at that jerk that drank all the water to gain 17 pounds? That was just wrong and he should be kicked out for that. UGH...that makes me sick. No integrity whatsoever. I will check back in later. Have a great evening ya'll.

Good morning everyone! Kat-I know you are bound to be nervous, but like everyone said, we are all here for you and things will be great!! Denise-you are right....at least you are losing and that is a great thing!! Keep the faith! Pamela-love the pics....you look great in red!! Haydee-Hope you feel better this morning! Judy-I am envious of the hot tub :eek: Amanda-let us know what happened as soon as you get back! We all are on pins & needles! Jennifur-things are going to be great for yu too. It may take longer than you want, but anything worthwhile is worth waiting for! You have great preserverence! Well, dh is working this morning so I need to get off here and get dd and myself dressed and ready for the day! Make it a great one violet sistas!!!

Fine with me too :eek:

OMG....we have to have a coffee pot too...(or a close starbucks)

I have been told I snore at times...but, I am not sure if I still do because I am asleep....so I don't know My dh is a loud snorer (is that a word?)

I wanna try to rent a 4 wheeler....fun fun fun!!

Hi Janie-glad to hear the good news!! I 'll bet you are relieved! Good morning violets!! Had to turn on the heat this morning to get the chill out of the air. That rarely happens! I just got done with my TOM and I am still at 195 so that is good news...at least it isn't up!! My dh pointed out sagging skin on my inner thighs...OK girls, I have little chicken legs, so how the heck do I have sagging skin on my thighs? Oh well, I am sure that can be fixed with thigh exercises. I wish I had one of those thigh master thingys...do they still make those? Oh well, I need to go to work. Everyone have a great day!
