Red Robin has the BEST CHILI! Kim-I will try to make tomorrow night. It's an hour right?

Where are the bathing beauties?

OK NOW I"M crying!!! I missed not only all of you guys, but this wonderful food! Kim did you ever get the txt message I sent you around 4:30? I'm sure you guys had a great time. OK Christmas party at my house with husbands! This way I can't go to the in-laws..lol... A Friday night in December, bring your favortie appitizer.

Good Luck. You are really going to love clothes shopping!!!

I hope you guys have fun! Angie+Kathy, I met Joe today. Very nice guy. I'm excited to see what the future will be bringing to us! I'll be out with the in-laws. Have fun and Kim can always send me txt messages and pictures!!

Cindy-Congrats on your pound! That is great! It is so much fun redoing rooms for DD. Mine was on a mission trip all last summer and our core group girls and I redid the whole thing. If I didn't have those girls help I would have never made it. She has the classiest room in the house. Darcy-How ya doing? Sherry-I did the same thing! Only it was my own doing! Took my DS to Carvel for a Sunday on Wednesday you know buy one get one free day. I would have gotten a small but he wanted a regular. I did tell them not to make it as big as his though, but I ate the whole dang thing!! I'm still craving Cold Stones German chocolate..OMGosh it is good. I'll be thinking of you this weekend. My in-laws used to pull that crap too. I hated it! Hang in there good luck. Eileen-Your birthday's coming! Yippee! I'm feeling better thanks, I laugh everytime I think about it, so that's good thanks for asking. Your so right about the craziness with focusing on a "diet" That was a big thing at the Renfrew center that they talked about. I need to write a book! lol We all should write a book together! Hey I'm not kidding I have ideas but I don't want to broadcast them on here. Have you guys noticed that on August 1st we had 81 people look in on us and we were the only one's posting! HUMMM makes ya think huh. Betty- Have a good weekend! BEANIE-WELCOME HOME! We have missed you! Congratulations on the weight loss That's great news! How was your trip? Well I claimed 3 but then said ok 4 but really felt 3 more advertisers would come in by today. I called all the people I've seen in the past 3 months to follow up the ones I thought for sure were coming in didn't..WTF...Then I called the person the other day and they got in and as you know I now also have a cake section because of them, Do you think that count's as 2? I don't get anything from the 2nd section, but to me that's 2. Then out of the blue someone I went to see 5 months ago called and is signing up!!! I hope I get 1 more so I can officially call it 3. It' just cool how it's working out. OK I'm off for another appointment. I'll catch cha later.

Sherry- you are to funny! You said no to many things yesterday I think you did GREAT! You could have said yes to that lunch time ice cream. Darcy-Hang in there, I break down too as you know! 1000 calories is great for the day. I had a huge bowl of spaghetti last night. It was mostly sauce but it was a regular size bowl. I enjoyed every bite of it and didn't feel guilty at all. Your doing good come on help me go to the gym I am having trouble getting my butt there also so lets drag our butts together! Wanna! Starting tomorrow weather it's going some place or doing stretches or walking or swimming as long as it totals 30 minutes a day at least! Cindy-LOL did you have that ice cream? Eileen-Good choice on your personal challenge! I was in an eating disorder hospital about 16 yrs ago and that was exactly what they told us, not to restrict our selves from anything because then we'd go back and make up for lost time..lol.. OK MY personal Challenge for the rest of August is to exercise by doing something whether it's curves the pool walking or floor stretches. The other thing I started today was to put the timer on every hour. Remember I told you about eating something every hour? Well I'm hungry today! and I was noticing my hours were lasting only about 20 minutes at times..lol..some hour huh...so I'm putting on the timer and when I want to grab something I look at how much longer I have to go. I only have about 6 bites but I sure look forward to those bites! So for today when I see I have more time I'll set the timer. I wrote this earlier, Now I'm in a real pissy mood, I hope you guys have had a better day! I think I'm so pissy cause I'm HUNGRY and can't get satisfied! I'm doing pretty good with my small bites. Sorry for _itching.

Happy Birthday To You! I Hope You Have A Wonderful Day And Year!

LOL I am caught up! I gotta go to bed maybe I really did hit my head to hard yesterday..WOOOSHHHH, splash, bang.... Hi Anne, thanks for starting August.

Eileen-Great idea! I'm in! I want to challenge myself to keep exercising at curves 4-6 times a week. My PT wants me to take it easy and take a break from curves. So I'm going there but mostly just doing the "resting stations" it's a half hour of something I wouldn't do at home, that's for sure. Darcy-Bummer! hope your feeling better. Hey I go nuts with those 100 calorie baggie thingies I have a pantry full. But the fudge stripe Cookies always win out! still only 100 calories and I think I'm going to pour a glass of milk and have me a bag as soon as I sign off here. lol don't I sound southern! Wow I'm so proud of you for going over a week w/o ice cream and chocolate! Ahh you guys are to fast for me and I have to go to bed so I can't read all the posts now. Real quick and I'll tell ya more in the morning. I got an advertiser. He has the BEST and I am not kidding when I say THE BEST chocolates on earth! anyway it is very unusual and he has it with passion fruit..wow better than sex chocolate it is!!!!! I am not kidding! He also makes cakes so we will now have a cake section! This is GREAT NEWS. I'm claiming 3 more advertisers, I don't know how Gods going to do it but it sure is fun watching and dong my part! I'm hoping for 2 more tomorrow. OK cookie time then bed will catch up in the morning, did I tell you that already. Cindy-Good luck with Mr scale!!

Cindy-The candy was gone in less than 10 minutes! Thank goodness! How's DD doing? Your such a good mommy. Patty-Are you relaxing? Kat-Thinking of you and DH! Congrats on the size 16 that is awesome!!! WTG. Hang in there I know it's going to be tough, but you and DH will do fine. Remember to breath. Anne-That is so funny that you decided to give up chocolate and ice cream the same day as us! Sherry-What I find is strange is that the new stuff I brought last year is now to big, so I'll have to get rid of that stuff! I refuse to buy another summer thing. I'm just going to live with what I have. I did have a few of my favs altered. I'm not sure I'd do it again cause it was so expensive, but we'll see. That travel fabric is worth doing. Eileen-You crack me up!!! OH I'm SO happy about your niece! You knew it you had that piece about it. That is so wonderful I'm so happy. When are you 2 going shopping!! Darcy-Your doing good. 1 step at a time! Hang in there your going DOWN GIRL! Betty-I hope your foot is ok! That's what DH's are for ya know. killing spiders fixing clogged toilets, changing filters..lol... OK confession time. I had 3 kisses last night! BUT I went from whatever day we decided last week until last night. I haven't had ice cream. I can't help the chocolate cravings although I must say last night when I was opening the kiss and thinking of all you, then tasting it, it didn't give me the thrill I thought it would. Went out to dinner with our company last night. I had the best grilled tilapia ever! I'm not a fish lover so for me to order it out is a lot! This was so good, I can't wait to go back! We went out in their boat yesterday and we went tubing. Well today I see my physical therapist and I know he's going to shake his head! I went airborne for about 50 feet! Thought I might have had major injury..lol...smashed in the water..I'm laughing typing about it...I flew over my GF hit her and the tube I have a swollen lip, my leg hurts bad and my neck and back are hurting...lol...but it was so much fun...we went on it again...no more flipping though...My lip has a natural dark red in spots...DH was afraid I was seriously hurt. As I flew through the air I thought I was going to die or be paralyzed. Anyway it was a blast. Hopefully I won't be sore for to much longer. I'm off for 2 business appointments today. I'm professing that I will get 3 more advertisers, at least, by Friday! Have a good day, ttyl Where is Beanie? Vacation right? When does she come home? Everyone else hi.

Karen you never know what the 1 pound is, I bet it's gone today! Hang in there your doing great! Our company just left a few minutes ago. 4 kids, 1 dog, a 24 ft boat, 2 motor cycles, a dirt bike...our driveway looked like the Beverly Hill Billies. We went to Lake Wylie yesterday and I went airborne for about 50 feet. LOL I have a fat lip sore leg, neck and back, but it was so much fun!! We lughed so hard. I'm going back to bed for a few minutes. Angie-Looks like I'm heading your way again tomorrow. A friend from the past is coming to Gastonia and wants to see me. I drove around Ballantyne the other day and saw that building we were talking about. It is not complete yet, however the location is very high end so we'll see. There is so many new things over there everytime I go that way, which is pretty often, I find more new places. Not many medical mostly offices. ttyl

Tonya-That is a bummer that you have to travel so far. Keep us posted. You guys are to funny about the new Dr coming. Didn't Dr Kawada win in the hunk group..lol... Angie of all weeks to have a birthday! I would love to come celebrate with you but DH is in town this week. If for some reason he goes out I'll let ya know

I have a new phrase for PMS it's PMO (piss me off)..lol.. I do feel better and just talked to my friend they are going to be about 5 hours late so I may just get to rest a few minutes before they come. Cindy I have a bowl of M & M's out and the rest of the Jelly Belly's so they have 4 kids they should be gone by the morning I hope! Betty- I'm so glad DH got a job. To bad about the car but I'm sure it will all work out. I'm singing tomorrow morning with the small group at church again. I should be fun I had a blast last time. Everyone else hi, have a good weekend.

I have to run we have company comeing in an hour the house is still a mess I have no makeup on I'm tired and I have to go to the store. I will try to check back later. I held the bag of kisses ths morning and was very tempted to have one cause I had about 8 M&M's ..lol...for breakfast but I thought of all of you and didn't do it. I did land up taking a zanax cause I'm barking orders around here and feeling anxious. I'll do personals soon. have a good weekend.

Honestly you should get Costco's chicken I think they are 4.99 and I don't roast anylonger because it is the BEST chicken on earth, we had t for dinner tonight. Weekneds are fine with me too. I'm just home alone a lot at night with everyone running around and I get lonesome sometimes.

Well your all going to have to kick my butt I need it bad!! So guess whos PMSing!!! I can say though that I haven't had any kisses! I think I need to add jelly beans to my list!!! Crud I'm hungry! Just saw doc and Monday and we desided to hold off for now on the fill! So since then I've been HUNGRY ALL THE TIME! I think I'm at 1.3 and like Cindy I really don't want to have another fill. I know it's PMS crap is there a drug out there that I can take for 2 weeks a month that will help, rather than a fill? My magazine is called Carolina Party & Event Planner www.carolinapep.com I started with Jennifer the publisher before we even had a magazine published. I had never done sales before, but I think because I'm an artist I saw her vision and ran. We've gone from nothing to a good size imformative magazine. We lose advertisers becaue there contracts run out, but that goes with the business. Thats why I run around all the time and try to get more advertisers. I'm losing 3 this qtr and I have gotten 3 new ones so far. I have 1 week to go and I'm professing I will get 3 more by next Friday. Well I'm going to hang with DH. Darcy I hope you guys are doing better it sure does get tough at times. Have a good night. love me

I'm sure you are and the joke is on them, they'll gain it back you won't... Some people can be so inconsiderate. Your doing great!

Hi, Is it Tonya? Welcome! Where are you from? We have a great group here as you can see. A lot of laughs and we all help support each other when things get tough. I'm off to bed I've been p late everyday this week. Hope you all have a good night. Oh now that we know we have some shy people out there checking our wonderful NC thread out, if any of you are in the Ballantyne/Stonecrest area and would like to join me in a support group with a theripist who has been where we all are for 9 yrs now. Please PM me. She said If I could get 4 or 5 people together she would put together a group. I know of one other person interested that lives in this area. Have a good night.

Well I'll be with the inlaws and thinking of you guys. Does anyone have TXt messaging with a camera on verizon? You sould send me pictures and updates...lol...have fun... Do you guys want to try another weeknight dinner for September? I'm away the 30th I won't say where..lol..but your all welcome to come with us! Have fun

Darcy-I LOVE YOUR LOWEST WEIGHT!! LOL I'm so proud of you for doing that!! Sherry-I can't believe your still wobbly! I have had that on small boats but never a cruise ship. Maybe you have an inner ear infection. Feel better. Cindy-Good luck on our challenge! I'm not having any kisses today! So far so good. Ice cream I do not have to often, so I'll be cool with that. How did your fill go? Eileen-Go for it! LOL I just wonder how many of us will be going through PMS during this time..lol...do think we'll be able to tell who it is? Did you order that German Chocolate cake from Wyckoff Bakery YUMMMMMMM I remember how great they were!! OH NO.. Kat-I'm sure it will be hard to give away that Blizzard! I'm sitting here thinking about the Blue Bell nuggets out in the freezer yummy, but I won't I'll hold off. I do wish we were starting Monday though... I got my hair highlighted today and a slight trim. Our core group girls wanted me to go swimming with them but I hated the thought of my hair smelling like pool after she made it so nice. My GF's dog ate something they think in the garbage today and died! He was only 1 1/2 yrs old. So now I'm a worried wreck about Lucy. Were closing out the magazine next week for this qtr. I'm hoping and praying I can get at least 3 more advertisers before next Friday. I could use the $ right now. I HAVE TO go to Costco tomorrow and get food in this house. I'm not kidding there is NOTHING HERE except SF pudding , deli turkey and protein shakes! Well sleep tight and have a good night. OH I got my car back today! They painted it and it smells real bad but it looks better than it did before. night night

Kim- I'll for sure let you know about the next cruise. I want to find one out of Charleston. That would be awesome. The Personal Trainer is cute. How cool that she's making up a work out for you! OH I forgot to tell you all the NJ crew is starting a no ice cream for a week thing. You know me and my chocolate kisses! So I'm giving that up too. Wanna join. Darcy has been having a hard time, so we are all joining together to do something to help her and ourselves. Angie-Thanks for that stuff. I'm hoping to hear back, so far I haven't. You sounded good yesterday. I'm so glad your neighbor noticed. That is a huge amount in less than a week! WTG! I'll call you next time I'm heading to Gastonia. Denika-Congrats on your anniversary! Now listen, you don't have to gain ANYTHING BACK! Didn't you lose before you had a fill? You can maintain and even lose right now. I suggest you stay off the scale! This can only frustrate you right now. I'm not saying you'll gain I'm just saying that we all fluctuate and that alone can make you feel bad. So hang in there, your doing fantastic and I'm sure you;ll continue to. Melissa-I'm glad your footsie is better. I once dropped a jar of Hellman's mayo on my foot in the grocery store, actually it fell out of the whole in the wagon. I landed up having a hairline fraction. Today is a slowish day. I've been doing follow-up calls for the magazine. Kim, I really want SE Bariatrics to advertise! I could, we could write an article about our wonderful bands. Go talk to him again, think about it 11,000 magazines how many over weight people do you think will read it! Sorry I'm in the sales mood..lol... Anyway have a good day I'll be back later I'm sure....

If I can come I can only make it early but I'm not sure if I can do it.

I can do it if we do SF pops! I just had a handful on jelly beans..ahhh.....I'll do ice cream and kisses starting tomorrow and if we officially start on Monday then I'll just continue this is good I'm going to try to get our NC girls to join us!
