Hey guys, back from Sturgis, no I did not get a pic of ***-less chaps, I did end up going topless at one point and got my chest painted, very well done and peeps didn't even know I was topless, was crazy liberating!
I didn't get a pic with me in the no-top, because I didn't want to remember that or have it end up on facebook. Here's the pic of me in my skirt that I got in High school and didn't have the heart to get rid of it, and my sexay shoes!!!
I'm home, struggling to get back onto plan, but I'm glad that I am at least trying. A few slip ups here and there but adding more and more protein to my daily diet at this point, and starting veggies tomorrow (out of money and pay day is today). I missed my house, my pets, my couch, my bed, and my TV while I was gone, but had a total blast. I had a 0.2 lb gain after 9 days in Sturgis, about 5 of which were not OP at all, although I was careful with portion sizes. Today I'm down again so looks like my trend is going the right direction!
Busy busy at work, just wanted to check in with you guys and say I'm back, hugs to all and toodles!

Another hot one again today. When are we suppose to start getting these "cool" fronts? I am most definitely waiting on them. Even though I am sitting in my office with my Saints snuggie on again and I can barely feel my fingers b/c they are practically frozen (its only 72 in here LOL)
TONS of WI's yesterday and today!! CONGRATS you guys!!! AWESOME!!
I have my 7th WI tonight. My home scale was the sweetest thing ever this morning. Hopefully that shows up on the scale at the clinic.
GOOD luck to everyone weighing in today!!! May we all be LOSERS!!!!
hi lovely lady!!!
good luck with your WI 2nite!!

I was able to get rid of some of my clothes that no longer fit to the young lady of the couple. She was commenting how she didn't have monies to buy new cloths. I gave her 2 big bags full of cloths. She also said, "I could't afford this" I gave her the alternatives speech and said how much DH and I save on groceries and dinners out that it's a noticeable difference in the budget. Well that's enough rambling for me.... one more thing

I go in for my start WI and measurements today with my coach. They called me twice yesterday which was awesome! I'm very happy to be here and so appreciative of the support!
Good luck today...you'll love the support that they, as well as this forum, give you. BTW the headaches WILL go away!
Just weighed in this morning. Checked a few times then called for back up from my wife. She read the scale and said, 341 or 342. I looked at her and smiled, because that's all I could read too. She crouched down and said 341 and gave me a high five. So I am down 129 as of this morning! Today is day one past the half way mark.
Way AWESOME... I see more cookie baking in your future!

Wow how that quote rang quite true with me. I have to stop and think... I can't defend an addiction to cheese. I really can't. That is a hard pill to swallow for me to stop and think when I put things in my mouth. There is no defending that. Big changes in my head coming soon to a theater near you.
Congratulations on the weight loss!! Furthermore...way to be a role model, and an inspiration to your friends. You are the "kick in the butt" that they need!

Welcome back. We were all worried when you took off on your bike to your cousins and then we never heard from you again.
Sounds like Sturgis was more than fun. Glad to hear you didn't go totally overboard and only had a small gain. Get going again as soon as you can. You don't have too far to goal.
Congrats on the missing pound and missing inches!! I love the Ziploc bag system, I really think it's the glue that's holding my progress together right now! Now I have to plan ahead and make some purees to add in to the soup days
Good morning all, I just came from WI #16 and was down 4.5 pounds and 5 inches!!!!! Woohoo, I've come half way now!
Great job!
