Hi everyone

Well, I have just finished eating my perfectly SB legal dinner. I had rotisserie chicken, salad, coleslaw, cauliflower and peas. My ds picked up the chicken and salad at the restaurant and I prepared the veggies (at least I took them out of the freezer and put them in the microwave). Usually this chicken comes with barbecue sauce and a nice crusty roll (white of course). I was sitting there waiting for him debating in my mind whether I would eat the roll or not. And guess what, he comes home with no rolls. He told the server he didn't want them. So after all I didn't have to make that decision. This guy is stricter on this woe than I am and he doesn't even need to lose weight. I think he is afraid he will end up overweight like his Mom.

Lamap - Glad you are enjoying the water aerobics. I've been a few times and it is fun. With the determination you have I am sure you will win the battle with the weight.

Deb - A belated HAPPY 1 1/2 YEARS SUGAR BUSTERS ANNIVERSARY. I know I am a bit late with a comment on the chocolate but I think you should ditch that outdated chocolate and have a bite from one of the others that you have stashed away! Glad to see the scale is down a pound to-day.

Jred - Loved your poem.

Melf - Congrats on getting down to 141!!!!. I can feel your excitement. I seem to stay at the same weight for months before losing, not weeks, but at least it is beginning to move down again. Have you taken those weights out of the box yet? I have a couple sitting on my dresser which I haven't touched since last winter. I think it is time I started using them again. I've just read your last post as I was finishing this so CONGRATULATIONS ON REACHING GOAL. That's wonderful and enjoy wearing those new clothes.

Nancemeister - Congrats on the test results. I'm sure you will do just as well with the test tomorrow then you can WOW them at the interview.

Fillise - Hope you make it to the High School reunion. It should be fun.

Solshine - How are you doing with the job search?

LinMae - Doesn't it feel good when you go down a size. Don't worry about those two pieces of pizza. What is done is done. Just concentrate on getting right back on track and getting in plenty of water.

Music teach - Hi and welcome. 14 pounds in 2 1/2 months is a great start.

Karen 3000 - Thanks for the hint with the socks. Should make dusting much easier. I just have to look for some old ones. Don't usually have strays now the kids are grown and my ds usually buys a dozen the same color.

Deb - I loved the scale article. It really hits the nail on the head for many of us.

Fly - I didn't see that tv special on Afghanistan but I have read a few articles about the way they treat there women and it's really atrocious. Apart from not being able to go to school or work they are not even allowed to be examined by a male doctor and women doctors and nurses aren't allowed to work anymore. Which means absolutely no healthcare. It's hard to believe how such a group can control a country.

BOB - I like the motto at the end of your post. It's exactly what my sister used to say to me when I was a teenager (She eats to live but I live to eat.) The reason I am where I am to-day!

Hi to Meliris, Thunderwoman, Frog, Rhroo, Gator, Chris and anyone else I may have missed.

Have to get in the kitchen and clean up the mess before settling down to watch tv.

Bye for now.

Marie.

Debbie--I was really surprised to see the article on the scale was posted by YOU!! I just had to laugh. It was a great article and hopefully it will help free us up a little bit. Maybe WIW should be the ONLY day some of us weigh, because I agree that the scale can be a controlling monster.

Melf--CONGRATULATIONS!!!! That is wonderful that you reached goal and I know you are very proud of your accomplishment. We are doing the happy dance with you.

Welcome to all the new gals. This is a great board.

Struggled a bit today. We went to Olive Garden where a friend had her birthday party. It was pretty hard finding anything on the menu that was SB legal. I found veal marsala, which turned out to be really good. I had that, the salad and steamed broccoli. However, I also had a bit of cake. They brought the cake from a local store and since there was just a small group, I didn’t want to cause any notice, so took a piece and “nibbled” at it, leaving all the frosting and some of the cake. It was impossible to count calories, as was dinner tonight that we also had out. So, I’m just trying to stick closely to plan, but can say that it definitely is easier when we don’t go out.

BOB--We end up playing you guys Dec. 1. I guess that will be “dessert.” LOL
I am pretty sure we will be cancelling our trip to N.O. for the LSU game. We will lose a little money on our plane tickets, but will end up saving more money by not going. With the market the way it is, and so many people we know who will be losing their jobs, we are thinking we should put our money to better use. We still plan to go to the Auburn game, but we will drive up to Calloway instead of flying. We figured it would take us just as long to fly when you count the airport waiting, etc. etc. than it would for us to drive. That trip won’t cost anywhere near as much.

SolShine--We watched part of the MSU game. My condolences. We were surprised. The bulldogs come to the Swamp next weekend. And we really enjoyed watching the action up at UNC. Any Tarheels on this board. Great game!!!

BTW. I am still having trouble with this new setup with the board. When I click on reply, instead of it taking me to the "reply page" I get a page that tells me that I am not logged in, which is not true. I then have to log in for the second time with password and all. Do you know anything about this,Debbie? Also, what is the difference between "subscribing" and "registering" on 3FC?

Well, I’m gonna go study some French. We have our third test this Wed. and each lesson gets a little harder.

Hi Gals!

Here's a quickie, because for some odd reason, it kills my neck and incision to sit at the computer. I must be stretching something that doesn't want to be stretched right now. Anyways, I'm scanned the posts and wanted to assure you all that I am coming along nicely. Feeling much better today. No pain medicine at all today. Yippee!!! SEeing the doctor on Tuesday. Hope I get the go ahead from him to resume normal lifestyle.

Hey, MELF . . . WAY TO GO!!!! I'm so excited for you!!!!!!!!! What a great way to celebrate the weekend at your goal. What's the first thing you are going to reward yourself with . . . new pair of pants??? Jewelry???? Just don't let it be a hot fudge sundae!

Better go. I'll be home most of the week and hopefully will have a more cooperative neck. Take care. Thanks again foir all your thoughts and prayers.

Evening All

Thought I'd try and get in as much of a post as I can before my parents come for a visit, then whatever I don't finish now, will hopefully finish later.

Went for lunch at Ole Ole, delicious, as always. Eli pissed me off at the mall though, told him I was going to the bathroom, he disappears, after going through Spiegel 3 times, I finally found him-he does this a LOT and knows it drives me crazy, yet continues to do it-men, they're cracked up to be more than they are Didn't feel like staying there after this episode, so we left. So, he's on the doo-doo list for the rest of the day! Went for a Carbolite afterwards, one of my fav. flavors-mint-it was delicious! Didn't take him off the doo-doo list though

Lauren came home excited today. They went to Gameworks and Michael was playing a game and got caught his shirt on the handle and was pulling at it and sorta came off a little hard and knocked into a guy sitting and playing a game close by, thank goodness the guy was able to catch himself before he fell. Michael looks at him and realizes it's JOEY from NSYNC-he ran to tell Lauren, who of course went gaga! She got his autograph on a napkin and couldn't of been happier.

FLY, at least your hubby is on the good list! Good that he knows how to fix the a/c-a true handyman I guess MFEO, you had me for a minute on that one, today though, I'm not quite sure (can you tell I'm on the warpath??). Okay, so you knew I'd be down today-care to give me tomorrow's prediction so I can either be in a good/bad mood before I even step on the scale?? Just cross those little fingers, toes, eyes, and anything else that can be cross for me!!

BOB, how'd the chicken come out? Did your BJ'S carry the 75% reduced fat cheese? Sounds like you had a good time spending some dough today Don't worry, your stuff is safe here-it's all nicely put in a Starbucks bag, away from the garage sale stuff. Which brand of falafel mix did you buy? I made some more tonight-delicious!!!!

MUSIC, whatever may of been bothering you to eat off plan, put it behind you and start anew tomorrow-no matter what we have bothering us, we THINK food will make us feel better, but that euphoric state we get when we eat something that does make us feel good is just like a junkie getting his fix and as soon as the "drug" wears off, we feel like dookie again! Maybe DH will join you later on, once he sees you doing a disappearing act. Eli has no desire to do SB with me, but would love it if he would.

MELF!!!! CONGRATS!!!! WOO HOO!!! I'm so thrilled and delighted to hear such wonderful news!!!! So, what's next????

ROSALIE, dinner sounds yummy-actually, every time you post a meal you've had-they all sound yummy. You must be one helluva cook! I know, you didn't cook this one up, but it still sounded yummy! Oops, too late on ditching that outdated chocolate, already had a piece yesterday, and one this evening-I can't ditch anything-waste not want not!!

GATOR, glad you got a laugh about me posting the scale article-oh, I did see myself in there a time or two. After the New Year, I will only weigh in on WIW!! Not sure on the subscribing and registering, never paid attention to that, but you may want to see if your profile needs to have you being automatically logged in, it may of changed when the board changed.

QUILTER, {{{HUGS}}} Thanks for letting us know you're doing better!!!!

Gotta go to bed, Eli has work at 5am, have to take the kids to school and get in my walk, then will post on the new weekly board.

Oh yes, he's only half on the doo-doo list now! LOL!

NITE!
