wow....I have some of those symptoms but have never been diagnosed with it so I guess I don't. Who knows! lol

Kat-I do not know what PCOS is, so I guess I do not have it :wub:

Laura-you are doing a fantastic job of quitting the smokes! (((hugs))) YOU CAN DO IT LITTLE MAMA!

Hi ladies...well I mentioned TOM here and aunt flow showed up! I am actually glad because it eplained the scale this morning, even though I knew it was water retention, I still like being validated :redface: It is going to be horrile I can already tell. DH wanted mexican food for lunch so this one time I cheated. I had one beef enchilada and some rice & chips. Not too bad until we got to the register and I HAD to buy a pecan praline....the rest is history. BUT, if we can not be 'normal' once in a while, then whats the fun?!, right? I owed it to me :w00t: (like how I am trying to convince myself its ok?) I am going to go take some midol & a have a nap....

Just checking in...seeing whats up. I am gonna go have some breakfast. Catch all you girlies later :redface:

Good morning violets- Oh I hate weight fluctuation. At least it is only bouncing within a pound and that is easily water retention. Especially since I have not had a period since July or August?! Whats up with that? Stress related I am sure. Oh well, I am sure once I do start it will be one of those extended visits. yuck! Have a great day everyone...gotta get dd ready for school!

someones boobies are growing... :crying:

For us it was a celebration of something we thought would never ever happen for me. The birth of my first and only child, my moms last grandchild, my 73 year old step dad had never witnessed a birth even though he has great grandchildren, my sister can't have kids and had never been in a room to watch childbirth. I made alot of peoples dreams come true that day, including mine. I would not have had it any other way. The delivery room part should be up to the parents if they want to have family involvement or a more intimate session. There is no right or wrong.

My entire immediate family was in the room. I was so happy I wanted everyone to share it with me....BUT I knew that none of my inlaws cared enough to be there so that part was not even an issue. Had they been there I would have made different choices to not hurt their feelings, cause I would not have let them in....(Made my brother and stepdad stay at the head of the bed with me

what cream cheese/spenda thing? Are you holdin out or am I not reading all the posts?

OMG Pam how sad! I will keep them in my prayers!

By the way...I stole Judy b'fast this morning: Egg with crumbled up turkey sausage & cheese ... num num

Terry-is he house trained? He is such a friendly/loyal/sweet looking dog! You are so lucky

Good morning everyone, and thanks again :tt2: Jenn-do it with me...you can! Ready, set, GO! :thumbup: Pamela-poor Susanne, she will probably really have a shiner this morning! Do you really have an eye appt today? Suzie-your dinner sounded yummy (again) Kat-I am with you...I love German Chocolate!! TracyinKS-I just have a feeling that you are going to have the tt done soon. Don't know why, just a feeling. I am so glad for you that your dh is on your side about it. I know that must mean the world to you. Judy-once again, you are one of my fav cheerleaders:biggrin:. Thank you. Janie-I am proud of you! You have done a fantastic job! You have regained 30 and I had regained 40 but it is not going to dictate how we finish thing thing...just what Judy said!:frown: Laura-surely you are watching Survivor this season! I am so addicted to that show. That and Big Brother when it is on. How are you feeling? Terry-so if you stay in focused mode, how many pieces of jewelry can you make in a day? Haydee-so are you still going to change jobs? Is it something youare still thinking about? :frown: Hello to anyone I may have missed! Have a great day everyone and be good bandsters...stay away from the evil halloween candy!!!

208.5 this morning. This is the huge question for me right now. I normally weigh everyday. That is what I have been doing so far. I need the accountability. But we all know that when you weigh every day you can fluctuate up and down each day and it can be a real downer. What I think I will do is...since I think I will weigh the same tomorrow I will just put the scales in the closet until say....ummmm....Wednesday or Thursday. Some people go a week without weighing. I can't do that because my fat girl mind starts sayin' things like "you do not have to weigh for 6 more days so you can cheat today and then you still have 5 more days to make up for it". Or, I can just do the every other day weigh in thing. I dunno....I just do not wanna see the same number day after day. I am over exerting my brain. Does anyone have any thoughts? Please comment to let me know if you have any great ideas! I am in need of a great idea:blush:

Thanks to all of you sweet ladies for cheering me on even though this is my 2nd time around on these numbers. Sometimes when I update the numbers I feel a little stupid doing it like it is something 'new' but then I read the congrats and see the naner boobies and I am so thankful I have all of you in my corner again for round #2. I am just as proud this time (if not more) than the first time I did it. I am gonna get off here for now and give dd her shower. I may bust back in later :tt2:

Glad you are doing better Tracy and glad you had a good b-day :tongue2:

Awww, Michelle-hope you feel better soon. That is the same crap my family just got over. Takes about a week unfortunately! REST REST REST!

Judy-yep I am in a groove and I plan to keep it that way, thanks! That cruise sounds heavenly! I am envious!

Great NSV Judy!! That is so cool! That reminded me of mine...my mom came over to pick up Macy Friday and as soon as she saw me she said "your losing weight again aren't you?" WOOT! I had not even told her I was back on the wagon. Made me feel wonderful!

Good morning everyone! How is everyone doing in ROCKtober? Are we rockin' it? I am doing my best for sure! I am going around noon to pick up dd. She has been at my moms then my sisters this weekend. It has been since before Ike that they had her and they were missing her like crazy! Let me tell ya...I have a DVD of Michael Jacksons greatest performances. (even though he is twisted, he is still a great musician & dancer). Well, for her first time ever, Macy saw it about a week ago and she has Michael Jackson'd me to death! She puts it on and dances around and tumbles & kicks her legs and tries to do the moonwalk..LMAO! It proves so much that she is caucasion but she tries so hard!:thumbup: lol My babygirl is so cute. I am so blessed! Pamela-way to go lady! I knew you could pull it off. I bet you slept like a rock last night. Tracy-how was your b-day? Or, should I say, how was the cake? Terry-woohoo on your 5 orders. That is so exciting. Pretty soon you may be a household name!:tongue2: Is it a strange feeling knowing your crations will be worn all over the world? That is way cool! Congrats on your -2 by the way. Great job:thumbup: What is c&s? Laura-I am glad to see that you are taking your weight seriously. What I mean is that there are so many women who say "what the hell, I am pregnant". You are going to do great!:sad: Jane-so what do you have planned for your days off? Your weekend starts today, right? Judy-where are we cruising to this time and when do we leave? Is it just you & the Bobster going? Kat-I read where you said you had a fire going. It is so ard for me to believe that it is cold in other places. It has been absolutely gorgeous here. 55-60 at night and about 85 during the day with low humidity (for some of it). You know Texas, can't beat the humidity away with a stick! Haydee-hope grandmas party goes well! How was the wedding? Jenn-how goes it? Denise-I always love to see the pics of your grandbabies. They are just too cute! Michelle-I am really enjoying the stuff you sent! I love the book with all of the holiday cakes in it :thumbup: Suzie-how did the walk go? I wish I could meet Robby. I know he and Macy would play so well together. Gina-I really do love seeing you post regularly. We miss our violets when they are not here! Have a great day everyone....eat the right things, get a little exercise...love yourself, k? (I talk to myself like that all the time so I figured I would share it with you all)
