  • hi chickies -- hope everyone is having a good (for us in the USA) holiday weekend. My hubby is away (his mom died, and he and his sister are working together to settle her estate) so I have been eating tres healthily, reading fun books, hanging at the pool in our subdivision.
    Sorry to have been offline for so long -- life intervenes. BUT, I have good news: for about six weeks I kept gaining and losing the same damn three pounds, and then today (I weigh every Saturday) I clocked in at 258.1! ! Do you know how long it's been since I saw a "5" in that position?? I know it is a pathetically small step, but I am psyched about it.
    If I can figure out how to hold the camera I will post some "before" shots (I still feel pretty "before" )
    So how is everyone? Take care of your wonderful selves!
  • Anita!! EXCELLENT!!!
    whenever you are ready for pics we're ready for you!

    I'm struggling my a$$ off, with living in Amsterdam during the week and then coming home in the weekends... I seem to do ok beginning of the week and at the end it's all shattered. Last two weeks at work I worked too much and only made it to the gym once. I am on vacation now for two weeks, so that's my next challenge. Still in ONEderland amazingly enough. I'm VERY happy about that!!

    hope everyone is doing all right and sorry I haven't been around much!!

  • crap of course it got starred out!!

    it's witch but with a 'b'
  • Hey Anita, not only did you get down in the "5" zone but you did so by almost 2 full pounds! Way to Go! (Any small step is still a step right!)
    Renee, 2 weeks vacation!!!!! Woohoo. Do you have any plans? At least you can slow down alittle, right? OMG I just checked out that blog... tried to "open it in a different tab" (LOL) forgot to notice the ****'s. that was good for about a 10 sec chuckle. Anyways, this girl is smokin'. She makes weight loss look soooooo Glamorous! I love wearing flowers in my hair,(mine never looks that good though) Thanks for the post.
    I bought my kids some HubbaBubba Bubble gum yesterday because I love to say the name so much (and love to hear them say it too) but now really regret it! It smells soooooooooo yummy. Every few minutes I get a whiff of it and it is starting to drive me nuts. I so dont want all that sugar. I think I'll go check out how much is in it. Oh it smells so divine

    (This one just cuz he's so funny looking) Be good, have fun, Missy
  • Man, I can smell that HubbaBubba just thinkin' about it! I can see the headline now: "Suburban Moms Caught in Gum-Sniffing Bust"....

    V, what's on your vacation schedule (or should I say "where")? I love how Europeans just take off and go to other countries -- for me it's a LONG WAY to any place that speaks a different language. Must be what makes y'all so sophisticated and all.

    Hope it's sunny in Seattle, Missy : ) We had fabulous thunderstorms here yesterday, rolls and booms and crashes, with some needed rain. Have a great day, everyone --
  • I love Hubba Bubba too, though it kills my jaw!

  • Renee, I just saw your itinerary, sweet! Sounds like a great time, you got some kids that are going too? How old? (LOVE vacationing with kids!) I gotta look up Legoland overr there,... Ok, just did, looks like a blast. I gotta tell ya, you got me looking up stuff all over the place Man, I gotta get on here more than every couple days... Guynna, We had some wicked thunderstorms here about a week ago and I HATED it. All it did was remind me of how small, insignifigant and mortal, and out of control of the universe I really am... how I couldnt turn a switch off or call someone, it just kept rumbling and rumbling. I feel so incontrol with my diet right now that it was a little bit of a rude slap on the tush! Anyways 1 day of weird weather 2 weeks of awesome sunshine and blue skies, about time too, we had crap from October to mid June! talk about SAD. Have fun ladies, Missy
  • Hey, Miss Renee, I just saw your photo of your hair choppy (over in the photo bio post) What a difference! How are you feeling? I did that about 7 months ago and well, have mixed feelings... I always go back and forth on my hair... forth to something cool and exciting, and back to what actually looks the best on me and makes me look beautiful, then forth to young and hip and then back to what actually looks best on me and makes me look my most beautiful. and so on and so on and... And yes, you can take the weight loss! Have fun! Missy
