TracyK

Good morning everyone... Michelle-YAY you for your -6 That is awesome!! Kat-You are right, over half way there. I can't hardly believe it myself!! It was a great homecoming for my daughter. I missed her so incredibly much!! She is the light of my life! I will post a pic of her later. Laura-I can so relate to your post about hurting in the legs & back. Isn't it great to be virtually pain free? When my DH and I went to Vegas in Feb is when I knew I had to do something...I hurt so bad walking down the strip that I was in tears. Those days are gone!! Well, rain here again today. At least we had one or 2 dry days. It is pouring so bad here right now that I am going to just wait it out instead of driving to work in it. My boss won't mind. He's cool. I had 3 guys at work comment on my weight loss at work. It feels good when the men say something because they (unlike some women) will tell the truth!! Houston gals-Sure wish I could have been there. I am glad you all had a good time. can't wait to see the pics!! Everyone have a super day. Aunt Rose is visiting me so my restriction is unreal and I am cramping SO bad!! This is definitely a day I want to stay in bed with a heating pad....oh well, I can dream... Take care everyone!

Congrats Tracy!!! I am so happy for you!! Everyone have a great day!

Wow...just took a long bubble bath and I realized that my garden tub is actually big now....or maybe I am smaller?....either way, I have room in it to play now Everyone have a good night!! PS, My DD is staying at my sisters again tonight I miss her

Hi Violets... I am just sitting around the house waiting for my sister to call to meet me for me to get macy from her. I sure miss my DD...I loved the momma time but I am going to be very glad to see my babygirl again! yesterday I ate like a hog...but, I am not gonna dwell on it. I think every once in a blue moon that is a good thing to do...I mean we are human after all, right? Judy-Congrats on the 3 more pounds! I am so happy for you! My next goal is the 20somethings...then...onederland! It seems like a dream. But, dreams do come true. Right now I am out of books to read. I am waiting patiently for Amazon to deliver my 6 books I ordered. I have replaced eating with reading. I have read so many books that I will be able to open up a used book store by the time I get to my goal weight! Pamela...try not to be sad....Friday will be here in no time! Everyone have a great day!

Hi violet sistas... Just taking a break from my break I wanted to pop in and say hello!

Good morning! Everyone have a great day! Rain here, again. Judy-best of luck with Garage sale Part II. Terri-Your idea about the pedicure is a great idea (the nap is a given, especially today) A whole weekend without having to watch Blues Clues or Barbies Fairytopia....I am not gonna know how to act!! Take care everyone!

Terri BUSTED ME!!!:eek: Oh well, have you ever just had a feeling that you should get on the scale? something just MADE me do it!! Anyway, I am very glad I did, otherwise if it went back up I would have never known it actually went down...thats my story and I'm sticking to it:ermm Jenn-No secret on my end. I am sorry that you are still bouncing but it will get better, I promise! Well, I have loads & loads of laundry to do...so I better get to it! Haydee-I agree with Terri about LauBerge...nice place, but we have never won squat there. I did really well playing blackjack once, but the slots don't pay. Stick with Coushatta or Delta Downs.

Thank you all :biggrin1: :rain:Boy this rain today has been a real frog strangler....and from what I hear, it will be like this for 3 more days!!! I am so glad tomorrow is Thursday...I took Friday off. My DS will have my DD for the weekend, so its momma time!! I am running over to the casino to have ome FUN! My DH hung a lip, but he is working and I am not sitting here and not doing anything! he will just have to get glad in the same pants he got mad in. For those who can't have a BM...I found something that works (for me anyway). Drink some crystal light then about 30 minutes later drink some slimfast. That stuff does not mix and within 30 minutes it will be bathroom time....and I mean make sure you are near one! OK, TMI i know...:rolleyes Terri-I nearly pee pee'd on myself with the WWJD comment. Sad part, is I knew where you going with that before you actually said it...LOL Everyone have a spectacular evening!

WOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOO...after a couple of weeks of bouncing around 219-221 I was at 216 this morning!!!!!!! GO ME!!!!!!!! HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY........ :whoo: Everyone have a great day and remember what Judyalways says!!!!!!!!1

I am so busy this evening but wanted to say hi real quick....I will pop in later

Good morning violets!! Sounds like everyone is doing great! TracyKS-you are just too cute! Big differences! Congrats! Josie-I am happy after my unfill too! Hope yours continues to be good for you! Judy-Beautiful flower beds!! Lots of work I am sure, but they are beautiful! I was not blessed with the green thumb my mom has. I had a cactus once and it died! lol Denise-glad to hear that your fill is working so far! Cool! Terri-hiya chickkie!! Pamela-It is so good to see you back and posting regularly again! Kat-is Kinsey fully recovered now? I sure hope so! Did you write out the 0.00 check? lol Everyone have an awesome day! And remember what Judy always says....

Hi everyone....to the ones that are wishing they could have a get together like the Texas violets, I am in TX and I can't go either...schedule, babysitter, yadayadayada...so I am envious too. boooohoooo!! poor me!! Well, I need to run...got off work a little early today cause my mom is in town and she is coming to visit. God I wish we lived closer to each other.... See ya!

Good morning violets...I was down to 218.5 this morning, which is great but I am not going to celebrate too soon the way things have been bouncing back and forth. But, I am not going to weigh again till friday that way if it does bounce back up, I won't know it. I will just roll with that number and it will keep my spirits up to make me keep doing what I have been doing. Did not get a chance to walk this morning but I did get my exercise in and I will not elaborate on that one So needless to say I am running late this morning. Everyone have a great day despite it being monday, ugh... And remember what Judy always says!! Jenn-I would not worry about your problem you spoke of, I compeletly agree with what the other ladies said about it. I had the same problem and now I make sure I eat oatmeal a few times a week and the problem has corrected itself! Have a great day violet sisters....

LOL...not even!! (bump, I love this thread)

rain rain go away, come again another day...little violets want to play, rain rain rain rain go away

By the way Terri-What a geat NSV...I am so happy for you, that is so awesome!

Welcome home Pamela!! Hasn't been the same not seeing your posts on a daily basis!! We missed you! Hi Josie!!! Everyone have a great evening!

Judy-look at the first comment as a positive one too....she would not get near as many "patches" out of one of the dresses you wear right now, right?!! Sounds like part one of the garage sale was good considering the rain!! Good for you! HEY..GYM NAZI....do some exercise for me I would do it myself, but, I have 3 kids over here, but wait, that is exercise enough, right?

Good morning violets!! Plateaus?? hmmm, I have hear several long time bandsters say to eat more than you normally would for a day or even two...then get back one liquids and mushies for a day or 2 and that will kick start it again. I am too chicken to try that though!! But, they swear it works....kinda like shocking the system. Judy-it is supposed to rain here today too . I really hope you get the sunshine you need for your garage sale. Laura-what beautiful pics! what a cute couple you 2 make. I still can't get over the hundred dollar slot:eek: I've seen them, but never done it! Oh well, I need to check the weather radar & forecast....I was going to bring the kids swimming today (and get some exercise in for me too believe it or not) but this just sucks!! Terri-hangover this morning?? lol To anyone I may have missed talking to, sorry, I am only on my first cup of java Have a great day! And remember what Judy always says!!

Also, I am sure that the plane ride will be alot more comfy than it was this past February....

I would also make very effort to be there (Vegas) too. We went last Feb and are planning on going back! I would love to meet you all. Pray for me tonight...the family is having pizza:eek: I PBd today so I have to have something along the oatmeal lines...ugh Everyone have a great weekend!!
