Yoda : no :grouphug: neenagh: thank you! :hug: I'm about to go get my hair cut. I'm scared. This is a new place, but not as cheap-y as the place I went to last time. I hope the girl is young, and cool-ish, and feels my hair-pain. I might come back with those bangs I wanted last time... or maybe not. Maybe she'll convince me against it and layer me again! AHH! I'm trying to get rid of my layers! Maybe people with glasses don't look good with wispy, side-swept bangs? If you don't hear from me for a few days, it's due to a bad haircut.

heh... then I go and delete it rather than face the backlash. It's not worth it. I'll wait 'til I'm in more of a mood for a fight.

I'm a jerk. Just posted a response to someone asking Dr. C a very unnecessary question. Coulda just left it alone, yes. but.. AHH! I get frustrated, I guess. I'm sure people wondering who this bitch is (me) will look in my other posts to see, and will see this. I just want to say to you, I was frustrated with everything, and hearing the same question from someone who isn't BRAND new gets to me. Anyways, I just watched the finale of the Biggest Loser. It was awwwwesome. Well, the guy who ended up being the biggest loser was. He looked SO GOOD! Is it really 8 freakin' months that they do this in?! I was also inspired, and did some exercising on my 'ball' during the show. :omg:

So.... it was final weigh in day at the gym, for that challenge. It wasn't supposed to be until Friday, but since the 'good' weighing/measuring lady wouldn't be in that day, she did it today. I'm ALSO gonna be done on monday, and if the results are any better, we'll take those numbers. (that's because the other lady who's doing well got a couple extra days before she was weighed) I was told on Monday, that the # to beat so far was 8lbs. I was sure that'd be fine, because I was down 9lbs, 3 weeks ago. My weight lost: 10.75lbs and 12.5 inches (from boobs, waist, hips, and thighs) Apparently there's another woman in the running, who's supposed to weigh-in today or tomorrow. Soooooo.... I guess I won't know until next week. I'll probably end up keeping todays weight as the one to go with, because Sat. is our Xmas party, and it's gonna be a doozy! Lauren still has to weigh in, but she'll be doing that Sat morning. I hope she does good. She knows how I did :|

Congrats Pam! That's awesome! You've started the ball rollin'!

Oh goodness... I don't think so!!

Was it Ativan/lorazepam, by chance? I'd loooove some-a that!

Hey Cloe, I see by your ONE ticker, that you're at 265. Fantastic!!! and oh so simple to understand!!!

ooooh Yoda, exciting!! I think you'll make it to the halfway point on Saturday!

haha, yeah really... look at these fogies!

congrats Khrissy, you're doing great!

I'm really bad for getting anxious, so, I have no suggestions. I like the alcohol idea.

Whoah, you guys! I think I'll be havin' the most tame Xmas of all! I'm gonna give you a break down of my entire vacation. on the 22nd, We'll go to the train station at 9 (woo! never been on a train!), take the train to Moncton. We'll get there around 11. Our plane doesn't leave til 4, so I'll be waiting at the airport for a while! 9pm (local), I'll arrive in Calgary, get rid of Dan, and continue on to Saskatoon, arriving at midnight. Love that I have to fly past my destination, then turn back. My parents will be there waiting for me... we might hug... my mom will fall asleep in the van on the way to the hotel. We'll get to the hotel, and crash! 23rd - get up early, hit costco, and maybe Old Navy. Head home. (my parents don't live in Saskatoon, but a couple hours away) That's probably all for that day. 24th - nothing all day. Normally, at night, we'd eat. A shrimp ring, maybe some stuffed mushrooms, bacon-wrapped oysters, a spinach loaf, maybe a cheese fondue. Probably watch It's A Wonderful Life. Around 11pm, my dad will grab a big garbage bag, hang it over the back of a chair, and the present unwrapping will begin. My mom will get the most gifts! We used to save stocking for Xmas morning, but now we do EVERYTHING Xmas eve. This year... there won't be so much eating. My mom was mentioning all the stuff she's been buying to make various things, and I told her... we can have all that stuff, but it's gotta all be on different nights!! I'm not gonna be able to eat all that in one night anymore! Christmas Day - I'll try to sleep in, but my dad will probably wake me up, asking how many eggs I want in my eggs benedict. I don't think I'll be seeing any other family the whole time. Some are going to Jasper for Christmas, and some going to BC to see others. I don't even think we'll have a 'real' christmas dinner. That's quite alright with me. I wouldn't be able to fully enjoy it anyways. Boxing Day - I'm hoping there will be someone around who wants to go out that night! As I told y'all before, that's the big night where I'm from, where EVERYONE goes to the same bar... people you haven't seen forever, who are home for Christmas. I'm hopin' to surprise some people (and jerks) I haven't seen in a while. I'll have a gingerale and rye (or 6) for you guys! and then nothing until the 29th when I fly back here. Dan and I will probably meet up in Toronto, and fly together from there. We won't get into Moncton til midnight, so I think we'll get a hotel, and take the bus home the next morning, cause it's the faster option to get home. That's it!

Dawn... you've still got a couple weeks! Don't give up yet!! YOU CAN DO IT!

Hey Wheezy, how's it going???

oh lordy... ok, your xmas goal is 260, but you're at 265 now, correct? Update your first ticker!!

Nope.. I don't follow. :phanvan what do you weigh now?! 277 or 265? If your Xmas goal was 265, and you're 5 pounds away, wouldn't that make you 270!??!? I officially started the pre-op diet at 284, so there! And, I'm saying, you're catching up to my total amount lost

do I seem nervous, like maybe you're gaining on me?! LOL

Hey... I saw something about you telling your mom you'd lost 82lbs. I don't see that in your ticker!! Is that including your pre-op diet loss too? If so, include it in your ticker!!! I DO!

nah, you don't!

Devana, I read what you and your sweetie do for Xmas, and I told my sweetie! He thought it was awesome, and I do too. You have saved me! That's the best idea ever, I wish I'd known about it a couple months ago. Might alter it a little, like adding 'something to watch", cause he always needs DVD's. And I don't think I'll have the 'something to eat' category, for myself! I will start next year!!! Thank you. :hug:

well... how come *I* haven't heard of it? Must be an EASTERNER thing. :xena_banana:

rye and gingerale?! That's weirrrrd. I've never heard of anyone drinking that before. Rye and coke, yes... but gingerale, noooo.

It moved a little this last wed. from the Wed. before... 1.4 lbs, I think. (the week before that, nothing!) I've got 2 weeks to lose 3.4 lbs! Well, 2 weeks, plus a couple days. I don't know how I"ll get the bed here. Maybe while I'm back at home, I'll look into some stuff. I'm definitely going to pack some boxes and have a couple shipped to me right away, and label others so I can get my parents to ship 'em as I need them. Like my dehydrator! I bought that a year ago when I was last on Atkins! I'd loooove to make my own beef jerky again! Mmmmmm....protein!

Sorry... it should be about $400 :phanvan
