I'm not tired of seeing it MamaP.I'm excited for you we're all going to that ball with ya we want to see everything Like Diana,i can't remember the last time i had a chance to dress up like that.Oh..wait a minute..when i went on a cruise,for the captains ball!!! about 9 yrs ago
ThanksDiana,i'll try to find one here in town.I have a weight watchers and it's giving me a fit i have to weigh about 6 times to find 2 of the same numbers good job on the 1.2 lbs you're back in the groove again.
Think I'll go visit Mother today.Will check back later in the afternoon,have a good day everyone!
Kris Have fun at the Renaissance fair! I love me some smoked turkey legs! I'm not tired of your gown pictures. I am excited for you and hope you have a wonderful time. The last time I dressed up like that was when I got married and before that was the proms in high school. A girl doesn't always have an opportunity to do stuff like that. Sometimes we have to live vicariously through others.
Thanks. I didn't go to prom and I eloped when I got married so I've never had opportunity to buy a pretty formal or dress up like this - except that one formal when I was at my highest weight for a charity dinner my employer took me too and buying a size 22 wasn't any fun .
Angie Thanks! That's an awesome Whoosh you are having! Great job staying on plan. You know, those mock mashed potatoes would be a great addition to your plan. Have you ever tried spaghetti squash? I was try to get DH to try it, but he's not interested. The next time I make spaghetti, I will probably get a small spaghetti squash for me so he can try it.

Ona Don't forget to keep that receipt if you find a new scale.
1 ~ 221
2 ~ 220
3 ~ 220
4 ~ 221
5 ~
6 ~
7 ~
8 ~ 226 (definitely going the wrong direction)
9 ~ 224
10 ~ 221.6 dropping some water weight
11 ~ 219.2
12 ~ 220
13 ~ 219.2
14 ~ 218.4
15 ~ 218.4
16 ~ 218.4 (I think it's about time for this number to go down)
17 ~ 217.6 (not sure it will stick TOM started today - but I'm claiming it anyway).
18 ~ 217.0 (I expect an upswing tomorrow)
I'm up 0.7 - I'm guessing from the sodium in last night's dinner. I'll just have to flush it out with water today! I have so much to do today and not quite sure how it's all going to get done! Eeeekkk...
Anyway, I just have to say Kris I think the dress looks fabulous on you! So glad you decided to go with the smaller one, it really does look great.
Glad the rest of you liked the piece I posted yesterday, it really sent my mind into a whirlwind yesterday. And you're right Ona it's now added motivation for me. Today is going to be a good day!
Kukkie You'll start losing again as soon as things settle down. I really like the blog you posted. It really hits home for me.
Kris You're doing a good job losing with TOM! Claim that loss! And for what it's worth, I think the smaller dress was the best choice! It looks good on you and with seven weeks I think you'll fit it no problem. I've enjoyed seeing your pictures!
Lnoelparis You can do it! You're going to be in onederland in no time!
Star - I make my tickers on the Ticker Factory website. At the end of the process they give you the option to make a big one or a small one. I chose small, then when I copied and pasted them to my signature, I just made sure I didn't click enter (or return) between the two. It took me a few tries.

9.06.2010 - 166.8
9.07.2010 - 167.4 I made the mistake of missing lunch, then ate way too much at my boyfriends house for dinner...so much so that I made myself sick and ended up throwing up Now I'm paying for it with a sore tummy and two black eyes. lol...why I got black eyes from throwing up I have no idea, but I've learned my lesson.
9.08.2010 - 167.4 Ugh, still here.
9.09.2010 - 166.4 YAY!
9.10.2010 - 166.0
9.11.2010 - 166.0 Scale was jumping between 156.6-166.0 so I'm accepting the higher number. I was SUPER busy yesterday and ended up eating way too late last night too.
9.12.2010 - 166.0 Scale was still jumping between the same numbers! Hopefully today's rest day helps for tomorrow's weight in!
9.13.2010 - 166.0 ...still here. Been eating & working out on plan, just gonna stick with it. lol GAH!!!! lol
9.14.2010 - 166.0 lol I ate way more than I usually do yesterday but it seems like not even that effected the scale.
9.15.2010 - 166.6 Ate late last night and more than I probably should have again. I felt so hungry! Been on track today and hopefully tonight goes a little better.
9.16.2010 - 166.2
9.17.2010 - 166.8 Stayed on plan last night. I've been getting headaches, hunger and bloating...which can only mean one thing for me. TOM is coming. GR!
9.18.2010 - 166.4
MamaP - The dress is really fabulous on you, you've definitely lost inches! I secretly want to get married just for the dress I didn't really do a grad dress myself, so I understand where you are coming from. The jacket is super cute with the dress! And I'm also in the camp of not getting sick of seeing/hearing about the dress
Ona - glad to see the scale moving downwards Have you tried mashed cauliflower with roasted garlic? OMG, YUMMY!
Diana - WOO! Glad you got the little stall worked out!
Angie - you rock! Thats some very nice whooshing you are doing, congrats!!! I love cauliflower too, but think I'm a little boring with mashing it, I just steam it, and then mash it with some sour cream with a hand masher. I used to take zucchini and cut it really thin, pan-fry it with some pam and make a little sauce, SO yummy!
Kukkie - Oh Sodium, how I both hate and love thee.. I'm a salt junky, when I was younger my mom took me to the doctor because she was worried about how much I was ingesting, but he didn't seem to have a problem with it. Something about iodine helping with gallbladder issues, I dunno! I wouldn't worry about that .7, it'll be gone in no time I'm sure!
StarGetsFit - you are having a nice whoosh yourself
I haven't been getting on the scale, I have been working lots, and sleeping less which is always a bad combination for me. I get some relief on Monday when I get to sleep in But two weeks with overtime isn't so bad for the pocketbook
we're all going to that ball with ya 
we want to see everything 
Like Diana,i can't remember the last time i had a chance to dress up like that.Oh..wait a minute..when i went on a cruise,for the captains ball!!! about 9 yrs ago 
i have to weigh about 6 times to find 2 of the same numbers 
good job on the 1.2 lbs 
you're back in the groove again.
I did not lose 5 pounds overnight. I was rather elated for having lost half a pound! 
I don't trust it.
I really like the blog you posted. It really hits home for me.
