[2cute2Bfat]

Thin... thanks for starting our new thread. :thanks:

What a nice surprise I had this morning. I figured the kids would be tired and grouchy all morning.. but to my surprise they were in great moods. :) We had a wonderful morning... they ate like a couple of horses for breakfast and lunch. They cleaned up their messes before naptime. ... and they went willing to sleep at 1:30pm for their naps. Ahhhhhh what a relief. :)

I think I may try to get a few zzzz's myself. Just wanted to share the good news.

[bobsgal]

2 Cute- glad to hear the kids weren't grouchy for you. Hope you have a nice nap. Thin- you started a new thread, so where's your post? Just want to report that I did the full 20 minutes on the treadmill today. Lunch was good and op. I've also been drinking my water. I've been to the bathroom enough times today that's for sure. For those of you who are going the low carb route, the Carb Smart ice cream bars are absolutely delicious. I think Breyers makes them. They have only 3 grams of carbs and taste just like a regular ice cream bar. There is also a low carb ice cream made by them as well. I haven't tried that yet, but I just might have to. Where is everyone else today? I hope there are more posts later on. I still haven't gotten any advice on downsizing pics, so I'll ask again in case anyone missed it. I tried to post a pic on the picture page and it said my file was too large. Anyone know how I can make it smaller?
Well I'll be back later on.
Steph

[Jehari]

Today has been officially cancelled by me. LOL

Well, today was a total PMS day. I have had mega cramps and am mega tired and since the kids were home from school and killing me, I didn't exercise. I ran some errands including my son's parent-teacher conference, came home, watched a movie, did some reading, and ate chocolate and strawberries. So needless to say it was not a great food day. Still got in all my water though :^: . Tomorrow is a new day. Better yet, tomorrow the kids will be in school. YAY!!! I'm going to drop their butts off, come home and ride the bike, then shower and run some more errands. That's the plan anyhow. LOL

Tina: Sorry to see you go, but as everyone else has expressed, you have to do what is right for you. No hard feelings here. Good luck to you. :)

Anyhoo, I'll talk at ya all later,
Jen
:wave:

[bobsgal]

Jen- looks like we were both posting at the same time. Sorry to hear about the cramps. Aren't they the worst? Ah the joys of womanhood. Hope you have a better rest of the day. Good for you for getting all of your water in.
Steph

[gmalil]

Just wanted to say tht I fixed Thin's O'brien potato soup last night. It is very good! dh had 2 bowls full!
Tonight I will fix Syn's apple salad. :hungry:
More later, a church group is painting memory boxes this afternoon.
gotta run!

[MichelleK]

I got the job!

I have mid-term exams so I'll check back later.

[chequitagirl]

CONGRATS!!!!! michellek.

[thinthinker]

Can't believe it. I went to PM a message to Michelle cuz I saw her on and lost the big huge post I had been writing for the past hour. :mad:

Anyway, to everyone: I love you, but I'm not rewriting it all now.
Suffice it to say:
If you deserved a "congrats", I gave it.
If you deserved a little :drill: "sargent", you got that.
If you deserved a "pick me up", I offered it.
If you deserved a [[[hug]]], I gave that too.

Tina: I will truly miss you as we all will.
Joyce: Glad you liked the recipe. I know you'll love the apple salad too.
Michelle: CONGRATULATIONS on the new job. That's awesome!

Gotta go. Oh damn. I also posted resizing instructions for Jen. Ok, quickly, I use Microsoft Photo Editor. I find it by going to my "start" menu and going up to programs and it's under Microsoft Office Tools. (of course, if you don't use Microsoft Office, or you don't have your computer set up like mine, you may not find it there. ) Anyway, Open the program, open a file and get your photo into the program. Then choose "image" from the top toolbar. Go to "resize". A window will come up and you should pick "pixels". You adjust the number that appears in the box until the final picture is small enough to attach on the site. You're gonna have to play with it because I wrote down the numbers I use and I'll be darn if I can find it. But just downsize it, and save and then try it. And if it's not small enough, downsize it again and try again. Sorry, that's the best I can do.

Now I'm really going.......

[ageoldie]

Super MichelleK :bravo: :twirly: :flow2: That will be great working in a health club!

I don't have time to post more, just sneaking a peek at work!

oh yeah, Steph, where do you have your pic's stored? are they on a webpage, your hard disc, or somewhere else? If they are on your hard disc you have to have a picture editing program such as Microsoft PictureIt, Photo Shop, Paint Shop Pro, etc. Pull your picture into the program anc click on the "Image" tab and you will find something to the effect of the size of the image. Click on that and it will pull up the current size it will be in something like 325 x 275 just pick on one of them and change it like change the 325 to 162.5 and the 275 should change automatically. if not change it to a resonable size too (if you half the first number half the second as well so it would be 162.5 x 137.5) then rename the picture in the small size and you should be good to go.

If you save your pictures on a commercial website (I use villagephotos.com) They give you directions on the site as to how to resize them. I hope this helps.

[LuckyLadyBug]

Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" marathon on Bravo! Love it! Kat, I love them too. Wasn't that cowboy the sweetest!!!

CONGRATS Michelle :bravo:

BarbPA I am keeping baby thoughts and prayers for you!!!!

[BarbPA]

Hi Everyone!
It's been a great day here - work was okey-dokey, nothing exciting. I came home and hopped on the treadmill :tread: - YEP! That's 4 days of exercise in a row and 8 of the past 9 days! :D Food was good - just finished journaling the day - just under 1500 calories -- may go a little over because I am thinking of the Hot Cocoa I have downstairs (the recipe that is on the message board) but that's only another 40 calories! :T

DH is on is way home from another late night at work so I am trying to get this in quickly so we can spend some time together.... :cheers:

Who are my Survivor Pals - Thin, Terri, Kat??? Anyone else??? I am so excited that it's back! I had a hard time staying awake last night, but I will watch the encore tomorrow night to catch the parts I dozed through.

Terri - Sounds like you had a fun, fun weekend. Bummer on the movie going out!!!

Syn - WOW - Great loss! CONGRATS!!! Keep up the good work! :cool:

Tina - You have to do what is right for you!! I am going to miss you dearly, but I am happy for you knowing that you have gotten to a good place and are doing well!!! I do look forward to the occassional pop in here to let us know how you are! ;)

Mary - Good Job on the 2 pounds gone! :cheer:

2cute - What a night you had!! Did I say something about wanting children? :?: :lol:

Steph - Great to see you back!!! :) Hope you day ended as well as it began! Good Job!

Susie --- Wow, another big loser! :p WAY TO GO!!!!

Jen -- Sorry to hear it was a rough day!! I know what you mean - I feel myself becoming very iritated and the PMS coming on! Yikes!! Tomorrow will be a great day for you! Don't let one bad day throw you off track!! :dizzy:

Michelle -- Congrats on the new job!!! And, I am happy for you that your Patriots won!!! (since it wasn't my boys!) ;)

Lucky - Thank you for the happy thoughts! :bb:

A big Hello :wave: to anyone I missed. DH just got home....catch ya later!

:love:

[Terri in MO]

Good evening ladies!

We started out with a little snow this morning but it turned into nothing. I got my nails done on the way home. I got home to DH having a crisis of faith about our church. :( :cry: I have to admit that the church is going off on a direction that we're not sure is for us. I did get away to get on the spinner - got 42 sweaty minutes in. Woohoo!!

Barb - You betcha! I'm so excited to see Survivor back. Good old Richard - naked right off the bat. When did Jenna turn into such a B? Rupert turned into a liar already. Are you still doing WW?

Michelle - :bravo: I'm so happy for you getting the job! Good luck on the exams.

I'm going to have to give up on this post. DH is still going and its too hard to concentrate.

Good night!

[2cute2Bfat]

Good evening ladies. This will be short and sweet. I want to go shopping early in the morning so I am going to FORCE myself to bed by midnight.

I had my first attempt at buying on ebay today. I LOST. Grrrrr
We are looking for a dress for the candle lighter. We found the PERFECT dress ... but got out bid. :( They did not have one of those "buy now" options. It is no big deal ... it does not have to match exactly to the bridesmaids ... but it was new and fit perfect. She tried on one at the bridal store in the same size. NEW in the store was about $150. :eek: NO WAY !!! This dress was listed as NEW and just a clearance item. We are also watching for a dress for the flower girl too. Tomorrow I am going to some wedding resale shops. I have high hopes. :crossed:
We told the flower girl she gets her dress when the swimming pools open again so she has a way to understand it will be awhile. LOL

MICHELLE !!!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS !!!!
I am soooooooo happy for you. :dancer: When do you start ??? Is this the job you have to drive farther for? What will you be doing ???

Barb... Last night brought back some negative memories for me and raising my kids. When I felt helpless I always turned to food. Unfortunately I fell back into my bad habits and found my stress relief in food again. :mad: It was a real eye opener. And trust me... I was stressed. My granddaughter does not talk very clear and she would get sooooo mad at me when I did not know what she was saying to me. We were BOTH stressed. LOL

Speaking of Lucky..... Lucky speaks. :lol: I sure miss you... I wish you would say just a little more. LOL

Okay... I owe more replies again... but my time is up. I have to get going. There is a dress out there waiting for me. If anyone knows of a size 10 amethyst bridesmaid or dressy dress...or a size 4 flowergirl dress let me know. ;)

[qsilver]

Hey everyone :)

I'm up way too late, but didn't want to fall behind on reading.

I zoomed in to Curves this morning on my way to work so I could get a real WI number. I was sooooo relieved to see myself back down to exactly where I was 2 weeks ago! Problem is, those are the same numbers I was at 4 weeks ago as well... And within 1/2 a pound of December's WI. Will someone pull out the :drill: for me?! Maintaining is nice, but I'm in this game to lose!

Two days now of journaling all my food, even if it was painful to admit sometimes. I drank all my water today, plus I went back to Curves after work and did my exercising. :)

DH is reminding me that I need to be up at 6, and it is after midnight. Ugh. See you all tomorrow! :)

Andria

P.S. Tina, I don't know if you are going to see this, but I wanted to say thank you for all the wonderful support you have given me. It has meant so much. *HUGS*

[Jehari]

Mornin' ladies!

Just a quick post. I have MUCH to do today!! I have this huge list of things to do that I know aren't all going to get done today dang it! Mostly because I had a blonde moment last week. Every Friday since school started I have gone in on Fridays to do volunteer work. Well, I don't know if having the snow day Thursday fried my brain or what but I COMPLETELY spaced off going in Friday. It didn't even dawn on me until Friday evening. So I apologized this morning and told them I'd be in today. Hence, most of the stuff I needed to do today will have to wait until tomorrow. RATS!! I hate not getting things done.

First of all, let me say CONGRATS to Michelle!!! :dancer: I'm so happy for you about that job!!

Bobsgal, That low carb ice cream sounds good. Maybe I'll put in a request for it at the commissary here.

Barb:Yes, I am a raging bi@#$ when it's that time'o'the month, as you can all tell from my crabby a$$ post :o . I'm feeling better today though LOL. I wish I could watch survivor with you all. We don't always get it over here, and when we do, it's always behind you guys so I usually already know what's going to happen.

Determined to Succeed: Good job on that 42 sweaty minutes!!

2Cute:: Good luck on the dress search. Sorry you lost that Ebay auction. I just LOVE ebay!!!

Hello to everyone else I didn't get to. Will try to catch up again later.

I looks like I'll be doing my cycling tonight rather than this morning cuz I just don't have time. Gotta get going!!

Later taters,
Jen
:wave:

[Duckie25]

Morning Lady's,
I feel like crap today, I don't know if its because I started SBD yesterday, and my body is trying to adjust with out the carbs, but man am I ever tired and not feeling very well. Any body else feel like this the first few days of Low carb no carb?? It better pass real quick or I will need to get some carbs into me. WI at TOPS tonight I'm expecting a loss, we'll see.
I'm a huge Survivor fan as well, it's one show that wins over Hockey in my house, it's only on once a week and Hockey's on pretty much every day, already warned DF that I will be watching every episode, so don't even try to fight me for the remote.
Tina, sorry to see you go, I really looked forward to your post's, you will be missed. I hope your new group loves you as much as we do.
Well I'm feeling nauseated staring at the computer, better do something else.

[2cute2Bfat]

Just stopping in for a second to ask Jen a health question. My memory is sooooo bad.
Jen... you were having some kind of problem from your surgery. I am embarrassed to say I forget exactly what that problem was. Did you get it taken care of ???

What brought that back to my mind is...
Remember me telling everyone about a friend of my sisters who had WLS (weight loss surgery) and she has been in a hospital or nursing home ever since. One complication after another. It has been between a year and a half to almost two years ago.

She died last night.

She never retuned home... she never got to enjoy a single moment of life since the day of surgery. Her children are taking it very hard.

Let's all count our blessings today. Enjoy our families. Appreciate what we have.
That is my Tuesday Tip.

[Grannie39074]

HI all not much going on today . I feel kind of bad headache and such. catch you all later

[Jehari]

Oh 2Cute! I am so sorry to hear about sister's friend. My heart goes out to her family. You know, I was so positive and so sure about this surgery all the way up until I was in pre-op. There I was, all alone on the table, my husband in Iraq, my kids at the sitter, my family and friends all at work because I insisted that everything was fine and they shouldn't take off work. After the nurses prepped me with the IV and left the room, I was suddenly so scared that I might not live through it. I was sobbing uncontrollably for fear of never seeing my kids and husband again, and wondering if I did die, would they ever forgive me for leaving them because I didn't have the will power to lose the weight on my own. That was the most scared I've ever been in my entire life. Although I wanted to just pop that IV out and make a run for it, I stayed and went through with it, but I can't say what exactly kept me there. Probably the fact that I hated myself the way I was.
I've had a few complications, but the one you would be refering to was the adhesions I had back in November. At least they THINK it was an adhesion. Could have been a kinked bowel. Fact of the matter is that fortunately for me it worked itself out in about a week while the hemmed and haahed about exploratory surgery. If I should ever experience that horrific pain again, they will probably have to do exploratory surgery to see what's the deal. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it NEVER happens again. It was awful. However, I definately am one of the lucky ones and am grateful for having made it through.

I just had to reply to 2Cute. I'll be back later to post again.

Jen
:wave:

[katrinabgood]

Oh, my dear 2cute...I'm sorry to hear about your sister's friend. How tragic. Proving once again that life is so very precious...oftentimes we don't realize that til it's gone.

My Tueday tip? Count your blessings. Embrace your life. Make it wonderful. You don't need to be skinny or have a lot of money to do this. Appreciate the small things...Some of my favorite things in the world are there for all of us to enjoy...the sunset, the stars on a clear, cold night, sunshine, laughter, friends...oh yes. and red hats! Love your pic, Joyce! Can I borrow that?

[ageoldie]

2Cute, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your friend over your loss.

It has been almost 2 years sinc my DH's WLS and a year and a half since his emergency "re-do" that almost killed him (literally, they did not expect him to survive the surgery) but I thank God every day that he had the courage to face the challanges and do this for himself, and for me. I truely beileve that if he had not have had the surgery, he would not have been alive today, or if he were alive we would have no life. So even though your friends experience with WLS had a tragic end, I'm sure she did what she thought she had to do. I know of very few people who would go through the procedure just to look good, and any doctor who would preform the surgery under those conditions is not a very ethical doctor. I guess what I'm trying to say is that you friend didn't make the choice to have the surgery lightly, so don't look on here death as being sensless.

End of preaching!

Duckie: yes what you are feeling is very common for the start of a low carb dite. Luckily it only lasts a day or two. So hang in there, you can do it![/size]

[gmalil]

Precious is what I called my sister who died of cancer last year...and yes especially, her sudden diagnosis and death after only 4 months,showed me how extremely precious life is. My heart goes our to your sisters friend 2 cute

We need to enjoy every day of what we have and put each day to good use in helping others. Take time to smell the flowers :flow1: and wear red hats !!! Enjoy the raindrops, (boy did we have them last night! a real 'gully washer!) but the air is so nice and clean today.

Thanks KAT glad you liked my pic and the red hat!Sorry, though, it is not mine to loan :lol: It belongs to the tearoom. hmm maybe I will wear it again today. I'm taking a friend there to see if she would like to have her step daughter's (my goddaughter) bridal shower there.
the owner of the tearoom is a former neighbor of mine and a WWer too! so when I told her last week that I am now type 2, she said she would figure out some healthy alternatives to serve when I come in. I'm taking her some ideas that I have found. Guess I better get ready to go!
'ttyl' :comp:

[BarbPA]

Hi Gals -
Too tired to post much tonight, but wanted to stop by for a minute and check on everyone - it's been a quiet evening in here. After work I decided to go to the gym! :) Just had a nice mug of herbal tea and now I am going to get in my pjs and wind down. I've stayed up way too late the past couple nights. I need to get to bed early!
Sweet Dreams to all!
:cloud9:
Barb

[thinthinker]

Hi everyone! :wave: Just checking in before bed. I had a really tiring day. My 4 hour job, turned into an 8 hour job with 2 people!!! I so hate it when they mis-calculate how much time something is going to take! :mad: I'm so glad I had my neighbor with me, or I would still be at the store.

When I got home honey even gave me a rub-down. Bless his heart!!! :love:

Going to bed early tonight. Big work week this week. See ya later. Love :love: ya bunches.

[2cute2Bfat]

HI guys !!! :wave:

Boy did I have a productive day. :smug: I did not get home until 9pm and my butt HURTS !!!! I used muscles there I did not know I had.... actually I don't have muscles in my butt... that is why it hurts so bad now. :lol:
Not only my butt hurts... my legs, my feet, my arms... even my head. :dizzy:

But I got a LOT accomplished. We are suppose to get 6-10 inches of snow and/or ice tomorrow so I wanted to get as much done as possible today.

I started with a haircut. I went to a new lady. I always drive back to my old home town and go to the woman I have been to for years. But I decided I needed to find a new woman closer to my new home. I really liked her. :) She took twice as long as the old one... and cost twice as much too. LOL But I think I will go to her again. She is a grandma too but very HIP... LOL ... and I like HIP. :D

Then I bought my wallpaper for my small guest bathroom. I have FINALLY decided what I want to do with it. I am going to paper only one wall ... and paint the rest. I also went to several stores until I found a new light fixture for it too. I am getting really excited. :D

I went shopping for the candlelighters dress and the flower girls dress.
I found a couple that "almost" would work... but not quite.
My daughters dress is Ivory white rather than pure white and finding an ivory flowergirls dress is harder than I expected. Most are always white.
BUT... then my daughter called me... and ebay sent her an email saying that the dress she wanted was available afterall. Either the buyer backed out.. or they had more than one.... either way... we got "THE DRESS" we wanted and we got it cheaper than we bid. :) We are happy campers. :D

I also went shopping for dining room furniture too. I have this empty dining room and hate for all my family to come for the wedding and find an empty room. LOL I found a store that can get the set I liked best at a different store for $300 LESS. :cp: It has been a good day. :yes:

Joyce... I loved your photo.. and loved your hat too. Thanks for sharing it with us. I enjoyed looking at everyone elses pictures again too.

That is the only reply I am doing tonight. Other than thanking everyone for their kind comments for my sisters friend. I had only met the woman once and it was many years ago. It just breaks my heart... she was younger than me. When I think of all the things I have done since she had her surgery and to think if it had been me... I would have missed soooo much. And each day from now on is a day she won't have. It really makes me appreciate every little thing.... even hurting legs and butts. LOL

Okay... I love you guys... but this has been one longgggg day.
good night. :wave:

[MichelleK]

Oh dear I am sooo tired! My little guy is sick again and was up all night every hour crying mommy mommy! He slept in our bed, I moved to the couch, he moved to the couch, he moved to the floor in the living room, he moved to his bed, I moved to my bed, he moved to the floor beside my bed! We did that about 3 times last night and now I am exhausted!! Nothing like giving your notice at work and then calling out the next day huh? At least it didn't happen the first week I started my new job!

2Cute...this job is about 10 minutes further drive. The benefits are great, like 40% match on a 401k, free health club membership, they are an AquaRehab and a Health club rolled into one. They do physical therapy for people with motor vehicle accidents or workers comp injuries just like my doctor does now. I will be doing collections from the insurance companies like I do now too! They also do some gym membership collections for the gym members but I won't be doing that part. At least this company is stable and growing! They just opened a 4th facility a couple months ago.

Tina....come back!!!!!!!!

I need to go tend to my little guy so I'll try and catch up to you all later! I do have one more mid-term to take so I will be working on that today. I got an 80% so far on my second mid-term. Just have to wait for the grade on the essay section from the professor. Can get up to 20 more points there but not counting on it!

TTFN Michelle

[Terri in MO]

Good morning ladies!

Woohoo, we're supposed to get snow again today. That is sarcasm, btw! :D We had a beautiful day yesterday. Practically a heatwave at 29 degrees. But at least the sun was shining and it made all the ice glisten.

I thought about you Kat while I was out walking the dog for the first time in almost two weeks. The stars were just coming out and the temps were just falling so it was a brisk, getting cold evening. Definitely, something to soothe the soul.

That's all the exercise I did last night. My foot was sore yesterday and the walk didn't help. But the dog NEEDED to be out on his walk. We've all been cooped up too long. :dizzy: I have kept my food good the last two days. I am doing a modified Fast Track this week. 20 points is too darn low espcially since I'm trying for 3-4 exercise points a day. So I'm doing 25 and following SBD phase 1. So far, so good.

I don't really have anything exciting to talk about this morning. I'd rather be laying up in bed. So I better get moving or else I will be laying up!

Have a great day! :wave:

[chequitagirl]

good morning ladies. i hope wed. morning finds you all doing wonderful. i had wi last night and it went well. i am down another 4.5 lbs. since last week and 32 total lbs. michelle so sorry to hear about your little guy. hope he gets to feeling better. well got to go for now. more later.

[Duckie25]

Morning Lady's
Feeling much better this morning, hope it last for the rest of the day. WI last night and I'm down 2.5lbs, One more lb and I'll be back down to my weight before Christmas. I'm hoping I can continue doing the SBD, yesterday I was really suffering, nauseated and tired for most of the day, we had Kentucky at work, so I had 2 center breast and a little coleslaw, there must have been some sugar in the coleslaw, cause I felt a lot better after eating it.
I made a nice grilled chicken and tomato salad for lunch and I also made a avacoda, tomato and cucumber salad, with some mayo, and a squirt of lemon, really good. And carb friendly.
Have a great day,

[BarbPA]

How are all my favorite women doing today??? I am in the midst of work, but thought I'd pop in for a minute! The sun is finally shining here today! :sunny: It's so good to see it --- I am so excited for warmer weather! Come on Spring!

Friday is my weigh-in day, but today when I got the scale it showed the exact weight in my signature, which means I have lost the 5 or so pounds I gained over the holidays. Now I am back on the losing side of things. Hopefully Friday will bring another pound or two so that I can actually put a "Lost in 2004" category! :D

All these doctor visits have become overwhelming to DH and I the past few days - I told you about the one on Friday! :D The he started complaining of a toothache so I got him into my dentist --- he hasn't been to the dentist in years and I told him one day it would catch up with him --- sure enough, he has to go see an oral surgeon about getting 2 teeth removed and he has to have a biopsy on some tissue in his mouth (from chewing tobacco in his younger years --- Yuck! He still sneaks it now and then and it grosses me out --- pretty much the one thing we fight about - but no longer now that he got this news). So he goes in a couple weeks. Then today he went to the family doc for a routine checkup (hasn't done that in years either). The Doc recommended that he give the Atkins diet a try. So, now that a doc has told him we may be doing this together. I don't follow a "plan" - just my own of low-fat, reasonable carbs, count calories...but I know we can make it work together!!! So, we are worn out from Dr. appts. this week and I have 3 next week --- on Tuesday I start my fertility workup with the reproductive specialist, Wed. I have to go to the dentist and endocrinologist. UGH!!! It never ends. :) That's ok, I am so happy we are taking care of everthing....guess what DH told me the other night???.......
"I am turning over a new leaf, I want to be healthy enough to play footbal with our children."
I wanted to cry when he said that! Now I know how excited he is about starting a family, and something finally happed to want him to be serious about his health!!!!
I am so proud of him and happy to have him!!!

Boy, oh Boy did I just get off on a tangent ---- sorry about that!!! I am not sharing all this with many people in my life, but I feel like I can share with all of you...even though I know the entire world has access We just aren't ready to share much of what is going on with family and friends yet.

Well, since I babbled on longer than expected I really need to get back to work! I'll continue to catch up later!
:love:
Barb
