Share with us: What has improved for you?
hmmmm...I just love the word "skinny" being used in the same sentence with my name.... Also, since it is football season you know how they announce the players & their height & weight and the announcers talk about the players and how massive they are? I now weigh less than the linebackers...that used to depress the hell out of me. Those days are over now

Oh yeah, as far as goals...I set them but really realistic ones...like I want to be in onederland by Thanksgiving, now it looks like it might be Halloween But, if not, the original goal was Thanksgiving so I will still be able to "give thanks" if it happens by then.

I think it would be a riot to have all of us in the same hospital wing. The nurses would ask for huge raises or quit...LOL I hope that everyone has a great day!! (206.5 this morning)

TracyK--I go for my scan on the 6th, (wanna come hold my hand???) my mammogram on the 10th, and my gyno visit on the 18th I think they all are, I wrote them on the calendar, and entered them in here to remind me, but off the top of my head, I think those are my days! Kat-I wish I could go with you and hold your hand. But know we will all be there with you...in spirit & prayers. My dd has an eye appt that day. The dr thinks she may have her left eye turning in slightly...so they said the eye doctor can fix that when they are little, but when they get older it can not be fixed....SO....off to the eye dr we go!!

OK, here is the deal. if I win the 325 mega million lottery Friday...I will pay for the violets tummy tuck or breast lift or whatever ... that is my promise to you! Since some of you may print this out or legal purposes let me put a disclaimer *one surgery per violet* j/k I would love to be able to pay or all of our tummy tucks!! Maybe if we all go do the same dr I will get a discount? lol Terri-Sorry you are hungry. Which is the worse of the evils? Hunger or only being able to drink your dinner? I'll take hunger, at least for now. TracyKS-thanks for the hair compliment. I am glad youar enjoying our restriction...I hope it lasts for you! Everyone have a great evening!!

Ms Jen-I hope your dh feels better. Congrats on the jeans fitting!! Go you!! Terri-I had NO problems with my unfill....quite the opposite. I felt like a new woman walking out of there. While drinking the water I could tell the difference immediately! I was restricted like you are now...no solids at all!! You will be glad you did it Judy-I hope you have a great time on your cruise...think of us, OK? Everyone have a super day!

Thanks Haydee!! I figured that with fall coming soon, I would get a fall hair color. Everyone seems to like it, so I'll keep it for a while Did you get all moved into our new house? Terri-Good luck with your unfill. You must be real close to your "sweet spot". I am kinda considering (have not decided yet) getting a little bit of a fill....I was just so miserable last time though. When it is my TOM I can't eat anything, only drink. I still PB every once in a while. I think I just talked myself out of it....no fill for me yet. Kat-I am having sinus trouble too right now. Hope you feel better!! Michelle-Congrats on the pound!! Pamela....I am just waiting for our show to come on I hope nobody wins the veto. Everyone have a great evening...

Good morning violets-Thank you all so much for the input. I appreciate it more than you could imagine. I need to update my definition of "normal food". What used to be normal food for me can't be the "norm" anymore. Once I do that, it should be OK....just tough getting there. (as I am sure you all know) Thanks for being there for me Denise-only you can decide what is right concerning your DD. I will keep you all in my prayers! Pamela-what a graphic e-mail...LMAO!! I hope you are better today! Everyone have a great day!!!

hi everyone- Let me share somethng cause I want to see if this is just me or if you all are feeling the same way....this does not happen often, but last night I cried....i missed food. I mean the food we used to eat. My DH asked me what was wrong and I told him that I was eating the same old crap all the time. He asked what I wanted and I said "everything I am not supposed to have. A sandwich, a big plate of spaghetti, boudain, a bowl of rice & gravy, a big bowl of blue bell ice cream, Mac & cheese....not to mention a cheeseburger". I had a really difficult time. They are like "old friends" and I missed them. I was SO depressed. Can't blame it TOM, that is over for now. This has to be a normal feeling, right? Bottom line is I don't miss that stuff enough to blow it. I will take the weight loss over the fat ass anyday. It is just that sometimes, I miss food. Any thoughts? Am I by myself on this one?

Denise-what a strong willed parent you are!! So many parents need to do what you are doing. Be strong, you are doing what you need to do to improve your DD life. I know how difficult it must be for you!! (((hugs)))) By the way...you look great!! Everyone have a great day!! WWJD?!

Pamela-Thanks for the BB 'spoiler'.....like I was gonna be able to skip over it, yeah RIGHT!! LOL But even if it is true, those are the 2 that I figured she would put up for eviction. Gonna be interesting to see who america told Eric to try to get nominated....probably Amber. I hope so anyway. By the way...if Jen actually goes to the sequester house, I will be very surprised. I guess it depends on how bad she wants to continue to be on TV. :confused: Everyone have a good evening!!

Thanks Jennifur....yes I colored it yesterday. It was blonde highlights, now I am Auburn. What interesting words did your db have for you? Inquiry minds (aka nosey me) want to know!! Michelle-thanks for the compliment!! Congrats on the NSV!! That is so awesome! Kat-My hair is way too thin now for bangs, so the lady said a "swoop" would look good. My regular beautician called in sick today so I went to a lady I had never been to before...I will go back to her next time. I am like you, I love to just be able to pull my hair up & go but I decided to go ahead and bite the bullet! If you did it, you would not regret it!!! GO! :huggie:

Pamela-I know how worried you must be. Keep the faith that everything is going to be just fine. We are here for you. Friday will seem like an eternity getting here for you. Everything will be fine. Chin up!! As far as BB...I want anyone to win other than Amber to be quite honest. I just can't stand when someone that rides coat tails ends up winning. As far as mowing the grass goes...I wanted to do it and get it out of the way to spend the rest of the child free weekend doing what I wanted to do. Plus...I had eaten some onion rings so I decided to do whatever I could to make sure that I worked it off Have a great day!!!
