Reggie - Tiramisu is my absolute favorite - I saw at safeway they have a new tiramisu flavored mascarpone cheese - I was so so so very tempted !

Coco - will see you tomorrow

Don't feel bad Heather. You will fit into those boots soon. Last summer when I was in Paris, I wandered into a fancy boutique and was just browsing in the underwear section and a french woman who worked there came up to me and said, 'Madame, you are much too large for this shop." I could have died. I plan on going back when I am thin and buying a fancy bra and pair of panties while snubbing my nose at that woman.

Just remember it took a long time to put the weight on and at least now all of us are going in the right direction.

Dang Laurel, That was harsh!!

Just stopping by

Pat I won't be there tomorrow, I cant make the trip out to SAC at this time, it's just alittle to far. I tend to stick to group meetings and things close to home I hope you all have fun tho!

I've always had large calves. I do have a pair of knee-high boots from Torrid, if only they made ski boots!

Seriously Laurel, that's horrible! You always feel like the salespeople think that, but to have one say it! Yikes!

I wasn't the only one with boot trouble, there was an average size woman who had to return her boots because they were too small, it just sucks!

I woke up this morning with red, swollen shins. Worst ski trip ever! Even worse than the time my brother and cousin both broke their ankles and had to be dragged down the hill in a tobbagen by ski patrol. lol.

Laurel, what an a$$ that woman was. My brother has been married to a french woman for 41 years. She has always made me feel like a cow. I've been to Paris 5x in the last 10 years. The most I could buy there was shoes and handbags. Next trip.... look out!

I'm sorry she made you feel so bad.

I woke up feeling great his morning. Took a 30 minute walk, met a friend for tea, then came home to work from home today. My throat is getting progressively more sore as the day goes on. WTF is up with that?

My friend Bonnie from the Wednesday night group is coming over to walk on the treadmill with me. I'm not giving up the exercise because Fri, Sat and Sunday are my best days!

I hope you all have a great time playing together this weekend! I'll be playing with my best girlfriends to celebrate one of them's birthday tomorrow night.

Coco... you're so close darlin. Almost there!

I went out and bought soup today. It's tough finding lower sodium soups. The best I could find is like 480 mg of sodium for a cup for the creamy soups. Campbells should be called on the carpet fro putting 780 mg into a cup of soup. Don't they know it leads to high blood pressure? I'm going to make home made soups and use the Trader Joe's Organic Creamy Tomato that is really low sodium.

Ash, congrats on working towards goal and getting a date!

Mo, still doing the happy dance for your Onederland.

Back to work for me.

Nicole,

You're having surgery next week and you will only be off work for a couple weeks? Was that your choice or is that what the doc ordered? In orientation I thought they said you are typically off 4 weeks.

Ali, I think everyone is different. I know that I'm hoping to go back to work five days later from my home office. That way I can nap as needed and walk around a lot. I'll be back in my office full time two weeks after my Sleeve surgery.

Kaiser will give us 4 weeks if we need/want them. I don't need a work slip so it wasn't an issue.

I was only going to take one week off from work, but ended up staying home two weeks. I sit in a chair in front of a computer all day at work and sitting up straight with the port incision wasn't working - neither was wearing a bra.

I just had to read 6 pages of posts to catch up since yesterday noon - man you all are chatty. I love it.

I changed my pants twice today and my shirt 4 times before I left the house this morning. I was having an "I feel fat" moment and a low self esteem half hour. I dropped the boys at school in my bathrobe, showered, dressed and dropped my daughter off at school and ran some errands before taking lunch to her teacher. I was going to have a protein drink for lunch, but drove off and forgot it at home so I got the teriyaki chicken and ate some of the chicken. I hardly ate any of it as last time I ate it with her teacher I ended up pbing in the little girls room when the class went to the library. Why oh why can't I give him up - especially since he has already said he is not interested. I did find out today he has never been married, bought a ring once, but never did get married.

I will definitely be there tomorrow Reggie - did the mapquest thing already. We are going to the gym in a little bit although I don't feel like it.

When my daughter and I were waiting for my boys at school this afternoon, a teenage boy and girl were having what looked like a serious conversation and then he walked off and she started walking in the direction of our car and she started crying - omg I started crying with her. She was trying to hide her face in the hood of her coat. My daughter thought I was nuts.

Guess I'd better fix something for my kids to eat as they are snacking like they think I am not going to feed them.
