Donna - I got the all white leather ones - SKECHERS Official Shoe Store | Women's FITNESS | Shape Ups - Metabolize Two weeks till I get to see you again :crying: Wish I could get more sleep - didn't sleep much at all this weekend and ATE PIZZA!~ fast and easy when packing and all your kitchen is packed away - didn't go overboard but the crust will kill me - 2 slices! HEATHER - OMFG! Your Rock at this weight loss thing - you are 1/2 way to goal. go girl! Hey Nicole - so glad your party was a success but pissed I missed it! We will hook up for lunch to get our oils! What's new with the Duck? So, she's got all her stuff in storage and she gets the keys to her new place on the 20th so we will be spending that week unpacking - grrr! This is why I bought a house - I hate moving! Guess your up next for the moving - GONNA START SHOPPING FOR MY SALSA DRESS! Candi - you still dressing up with me like a salsa star?? You're so cute & tiny I may not be able to stand next to you though - :thumbdown: Tina, Friday works for me! You must be feeling better, yes? How do those calves feel hahaha - Hope Michaela enjoys herself at camp Jes, when I wear mine when I'm not walking or anything I find myself just rocking back & forth - still haven't watched the dang video though! Tani (emily was it - sorry!) Invite yourself whenever you please - that's what we ALL do! Sometimes I think these ladies only talk to me because I force myself on them LOL Truthfully, the more the marrier - Tomorrows a big day - I think Tamra has orientation too with you - look for her! Tamra, don't you have orientation tomorrow too? You're on your way girlfriend! HEAR THAT LURKERS - JOIN IN! Reggie! my husband hates the dresses LOL I knew he would - said they don't do anything for my figure and the colorful one shows to much boobie! I told him not to worry, I'll wear them when I go out without him. How's that halter thing working out for you... Hmmm, miss "I can't wear halters" Ladies you should see miss Regina in her new halter dresses - she looks fab! Hi Riley - I believe my liver can gain 5 lbs in 10 minutes! Does he HAVE to go to pharmacy tech school to be a pharmacy tech now? I have friends that are techs and they did on the job training as techs - once they put in a certain amount of hours they took a test & got certified - just wondering if the rules changed in the last decade. I'm anxious for the petaluma wetlands walk. I checked it out on line and it looks so nice!! I really want to try that tofu but I'm scared of tofu :biggrin:

Hey ladies, just chekin in - I'm finally home now but gotta turn right around and finish tomorrow - grrr - no time for exercise but on the flip side - no time to think about eating - I had a decaf soy americano for breakfast - two bites of a chicken breast for lunch and 3 scampi with 1/2 c salad for dinner. Go jes - below goal weight - Have you emailed your surgeon yet? I still haven't weighed myself and I'm afraid to - not going to do it untill I get to the Endocrinologists on the 21st. Nicole - hope the party is going well. Hope it's ok, I copied your number down too for future. Donna - I LOVE YOUR AVATAR PIC. Thanks again for planning the lunch - i'm so not a planner but if you plan it, i will come LOL Tina - you feeling better now? Will you email me the photo of us that was taken on the group fill - I tried to go back and find it but I couldn't I want to do a little "group" album in my profile. Heather - I love that after all you've accomplished so for the thing you focus on is your slightly imperfect arms - LOL. You are lucky that you are so young - your skin still as elasticity in it and will shrink back. Hey Riley - that place looks great - I'm down - but as I said, i'm so not a planner but if you plan it, I will come! Kids are great, aren't they hahaha Pam, Im glad you enjoyed your day! You deserve it - and more good things to follow - missed you at lunch though! All the rest of my ladies - have a great night

Morning Ladies, I had such a great day with you girls yesterday! Got to meet Tanifaire (you are too sweet!) and Candy. I didn't leave Sac until 5pm. That was a long lunch LOL Then I get the call on the way home - my girl, the one who's husband ran over her exhusband and drove thru the house - came home to a 3 day notice - so I spent most of the night helping her and will be there for the next two days packing and moving her stuff to storage - she has nobody else to help since her husband is in jail & her ex husband is laid up with broken legs LOL (so not funny but LOL) So, Donna, I will be away for the next two day, ok? thank you so much for my little clutch - it matches my shoes so perfectly! Love you!! Ladies remember Donna is heading the sac group this month so we ALL NEED TO BE THERE TO SUPPORT HER Reggie, you look great in a halter girl!!! I can't believe you stold Donna from me LOL. When's that party? both those dresses I got are a size XL - I didnt realize that! I thought they were 18s - they were in the 18 section! Need your sisters website - awsome.... something LOL Nicole, I pm'd you - please be sure to read it asap! Damn sorry to miss the duck! didn't find a salsa dress yesterday but still looking!!! Name the date & time and I'm so there!! Lets plan it so everybody can be there. Have a great party! Hey Maria - no, I don't live in EG - I'm all the way in Vallejo, all by myself! Jess & Tamra live a little closer to me though - yeah!! Missed you yesterday Jes - you too Riley jane! When's the Petaluma walk!!!! Candy - Happy One-derland girl! great success!! Tina, I'm glad the shoes are working for you - I really want the mary Janes! Is there a model number on the box you can give me - maybe I can order them online. How are you feeling today - sure did miss your company yesterday!! Tamra - listen to nicole! You'll get in faster if you do that! We need to figure out when you're free and can get a sitter so you can join us young lady! There is something I'm forgetting... Hmm - I'll remeber as soon as I'm out the door and then will forget by the time I get back to the computer - scatter brains. Oh, ladies, woul you believe that salad and hamberger patty was all I ate yesterday - I had the other half of it for dinner. Too busy to think about eating anything else - Have a great day.

Good morning all How you feelin Tina - will be real disappointed if you're not there today Maria - you coming? Ok, so I thought it was at 1 but then I ready 12 so either way, I will be there at noon! Riley, Jes, you two callin in sick today to come LOL Gotta get some more stuff done around this house before I leave and I gotta be outta here by 10:45 to make it on time - sometimes traffic thru vacaville is BAD. See ya soon

As I was washing my hair i had a brain storm - Tina, Nicole, have either of you tried sea salt for your hair? It gives ur hair body & makes it look thicker. This is the recipe I used: Gourmet Beauty: beachy hair Ok, nighty night, I think - just don't feel tired - weird day today -kinda energetic - not normal for me!!

Hey Jes, Dr. fisher told me to just go to my pcp and get weighed in just so it's documented - then email him to let him know it's there and he'll get the ball rolling. I would love to be at .8 - of course that would really suck if i stayed there as long as i have in this position - lmao riley you CAN be yourself around a man - you have a great sense of humor and such a fun personality - any man would love to be with a woman like you! Although, don't think they can keep up hahaha - I am so gonna write on that dollar and pay it forward - love that idea - I did see that movie and of course was balling at the end. My new favorite move - the proposal - i was cracking up! sandra is a freak! Pam, the right man usually comes along when you're not looking - you need to get out of the house, do something for yourself - you devote all your time to your kids and it's time for you to do you - get some new panties and get a mani/pedi - a new outfit -a haircut - anything that makes you feel sexy and strut with confidence! You all know what would work for me - sexy red push up bra - whoo hoo - if any of ya'll see one in the extra humungus size, let me know! Ooh! - Activity meet - lets go dancing! salsa or some shit. That would be great fun! Who's down?? Nicole, I know you're in my little dancing queen! Anybody heard from Nicole - Dying to know what happened today at the interview! tina you ain't gotta look for no man cuz they are looking for you! I get what you're saying about getting your self where you want to be first - they say you attract the kind of person as the vibes you put out - so get ur vibes right LOL Time to bathe & get ready for bed. See ya tomorrow ladies - Riley you should call in sice and come - it's a sanity check

That dollar is good luck - it's like the sisterhood of the traveling pants - LOL

Hey Tina, feeling any better - really want you to come tomorrow - I'll have your dollar for you if you come :thumbup: Nicole - dying to hear how the interview went!!!! What's up with the duck?

WELCOME BACK MARIA!! glad the computer is up & running Sorry Pammy - I dont know any "nice" single guys but if you're ever in the market for a complete jerk, I'm your gal - I pretty much know em/dated em all! LOL. My brother's pretty cute - he's 45 - just a male version of me but in shape and lots a tattoos - he's a harley guy. Again, jerk AND has a psycho stalker ex-wife - So.. I'm afairn I am absolutely no help - you should go on eharmony or match.com - one of my best friends has been with a guy she met on one of those for 5 years now! She's a divorced mother of two and, like you, not looking for a live in so they don't live together but spend ALOT of time together. I think those sites work because once a guy gets on there it's because they are ready to settle down and are done with the games. Hey Jes, I see you ... What's up you skinny little thing you with your .6lbs left that you just had to rub in my face - LOL. can't wait to walk the petaluma park!

My phones aren't ringing either! No work to be done I guess - I don't file or anything else so... why not chit chat online hehehe

I'm tellin you I'm all over the group scale chat - it's time to tell them who's boss! I have decided NOT to weight myself until my appt with the endocrinologist on the 21st - hahaha - yes, my husband WILL be spending his birthday at the doctors with me - happy b-day honey! LOL Riley Jane I'm gonna need a complete list of your vitamins & things - I NEED your energy! Or else I'm going back on my asthma primatine tabs - ephedra baby!

Ok, so Im gonna be looking for a new job soon - so don't anybody here hire me or give me a reference: I'm only here 15hr per week and what am I doing - talking to ya'll. Anybody else here suppose to be working?

Hey reggie, is there any difference between lemon and lime? I prefer Limes? more cals or carbs or something...?

Well, then, time to switch back to water, just add lemon LOL. No, I don't always wait an hour - excuse: I try to get all my water in by 3:00 or else Im up Pee-ing ALL night. I will switch up and wait the hour! So many rules! I guess its a trade off, rules need to be followed to be thin - not trying to get skinny!

Thanks reggie - I will eat that and only that menu till my 4.9lbs are gone - it's probably more by now but not speaking to my scale so I don't know yet! Hi Pam - good to hear from ya - sorry bout the peach but it looks like Jane has the answer to that! Ok, is it petaluma walk time yet - I just can't seem to sit still today - did someone spike my CL? I love feeling energetic but it only happens once every blue moon! Got kind of a small compliment today - one of the gals in the office next to me asked me this morning how much weight I've lost! I told her none but she said that she can see a difference. She asked what i was doing and I said "nothing - walking more" I'm not prepared to tell anybody about this crusade I'm on yet so mums the word still.

I have a thought regarding the crystal light - I usually have the decaf ice tea or the rasberry Ice - not too sweet. Anyway, so today, I filled up my 3L jug and only used half the amount of grapefruit that I would use of the others - so, actually, I'm drinking 1/2 the amount than I normally would and it tastes good. so that's my strategy for now to get in less CL and more water.

I want in on the group scale chat! Thanks Nicole, I just got on - I was having heart failure - what would I do without my girls!!! Database error - WTF! Maybe we have overloaded the system! Good luck to Mike to day!! Oh, my PCP told me I had PCOS! I had the test done immediately and I don't have it - I'm just lucky enough to have the symptoms LOL Heather, aren't you the lucky one with the nice scale! Mine is on Time Out - I'm not speaking to it and I haven't since it raised my weight .9lbs - grrrr! Glad you're having so much fun Christine - can't wait to be that person! "EXERCISE" should be lump in as two four letter words! It really is a chore and I hate it! I did get my big butt up this morning - not quite at 4:30 - but 6:00 and did my C25K, Week 2, day 2 this morning and was watching that stupid clock that is right in front of my tread mill waiting for it to be over! Anybody thout of hypnotherapy? maybe that would work to change my mindset.. Just don't think I can be hypnotized though. I'm too skeptical of it. I love the skechers Mary Janes and I want them to wear around the house and while shopping! Just cost too damn much to have two pairs! Tina, hope you feel better soon!

Ok ladies, time to bathe & get ready for bed. Nighty night

I can't find the Mary Janes but I did find the MBT version on clearance - they are suede - but look alot like the skechers leather ones MBT Kaya Black Suede - Womens - Discontinued Style Even the discontinued models like these are 170.00!!

endocrinologist basically studies hormones, how they function. when you put in skechers shape ups in the google search, click on images instead of web and you can probably see some that way

i didn't realize they were good for your knees - that's great! I got mine at the skechers store in the concord mall. My husband had to have his ordered online because they didn't have his size. We tried the skechers outlet but they didn't have them. I got the all white leather ones & the hubby got the all black lether ones. i would like to get the ones that look like mary janes but don't have that kinda extra money sittin around! MBT makes some like it that look nice but they are way outta my price range - like $250 bucks - so I settled for skechers. Glad I did because the MBT's don't have as good a review.

FYI - careful of the grapefruit crystal light! Must add EXTRA water - wwaaayyyy to sweet - I about choked - LOL

They're called shap ups. Now you all know how in shape my husband is - he even works out his calves on a regular basis and tonight, his are a little sore too as well as his quads. They are not heavy at all! They don't put me off balance - what it is is like the heel of the shoe is almost gone. so you are extending your legs without even trying. they are a little mushy so it's ALMOST like walking in a jumping balloon. GO JESS WITH YOUR .6LBS TO GO! I'm proud of you girl - workin it out! I'm holding steady at 4.9 now to go. Can't figure it out - grrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!

Just got off the phone with my Aunt - she just finished her last round of Chemo & Radiation - she has lung cancer - so every body pray for her that her scan comes out clean. Tina, just ask for the referrral - it couldn't hurt! Since i was 16 I was told that my thyroid was sluggish but nothing to worry about just to keep an eye on it - Tired of watching it, time to do something about it! Tina, only an endocrinologist can tell you if your thyroid is functioning properly not some little blood test so go for it! It could have something to do with your other symptoms! Ok, so about those damn shoes - they do make you about 2in taller. But, reggie, my butt does hurt now and my calves are really sore! Guess they do work - imagine how much better they'll work once I actually watch the video and use them correctly - LOL Need to do my C25K in the am but I'm afraid it won't go to well with these legs of mine right now - Nicole, I was worried to start week 2 but it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be and you're in much better shape than I am.
