300+ Weekly Thread #1243
 

We are a group of individuals who weigh or have weighed 300+, or near there. This group was formed to provide a place for others like us to find support, inspiration, and hope. We are aware of the distinct problems that come with weighing over 300 lbs.

We want to invite everyone (roosters as well as chicks!) to join us in our journey. We share laughter and tears, heartaches and fears ... joys and celebrations. We also share what works for us and what doesn't.

We know the thread can move very quickly, and that people often make "personal" remarks and keep a number of conversations going. Please feel free to contribute even if you can't make personal comments all the time.

Finally, we also have several extra threads going on simutaneously such as Monthly Challenges, Weekly Weigh-ins, Recipes, Bios, Photos, Exercise, Info for Getting Started and more. Many of these threads are stickied at the top of the page. Please feel free to check them all out.

We have found this thread to be more than just a support group... we have found it to become a home. We invite you to join us.

Good Morning all,

Happy Monday! I hope that you are all blessed and had a great weekend. The puppy I am getting is a labradoodle. I will post pictures of him shortly.

Blessings to you all,
Annie

I posted pictures of our new puppy on the picture thread.

Kayley: How are you sweetheart? I have been praying for you and hope your doing okay.

Rat: Ditto on the prayers for you. How ya feeling?

Carol: Another one the needs healing. How are you sweet friend?

Sharon: Hi doll.

I sure have been thinking about lots of chicks that left us: Dimples, Debbie54, Toni, Seattle Sue, Battleax. I hope if they are lurking they are seeing that they are missed and many more that I have not mentioned.

Blessings all,
Annie

Hellooooo ladies. I hope everyone had a great holiday thus far. I know we have New Years coming up, but I'm gonna just like relax and watch horror movies or something lol.

Well, my birthday was on the 22nd so now I'm 32 and though not at the weight I want to be, I'm also not where I was, so that is something great. It has been a little over a year and I've lost 75 pounds, that isn't terribly bad and I should celebrate it. I'm not 340+ pounds anymore, I'm now 270+. That isn't good, but it isn't bad. I can walk, I can jog a little, I can wear nice things, I am more outgoing...not too shabby.

So, Christmas day I spent cooking and preparing food for ze family visit. Well, let me just say that thank GOODNESS I did that as there was not enough food for everyone had I NOT brought things. Reason being, two of the guests were vegan/veggie, so they were not eating cheese. So, that means they would have had NO entree at all had I not brought my rice casserole dish, which was vegan. *taps her foot* Needless to say my giant casserole got eaten up, over halfway. My raw food cheesecake (this time I did a sort of apple pie crumb topping with blackberries) went fast, it had one slice left at the end of the night lol. No one felt guilty eating it, that was the one comment I got a few times. It wasn't full of butter or cheese, just healthy things. Yeah it is fattening, heck you can't have that every day, but for a dessert it has a lot of good fat and protein! So, that was nice...the rest of my stuff went over well, so I was pleased. I will say that I had to really push to get things moving. I swear I spent all day on Christmas cooking and yadda yadda, then hours trying to get things moving because NOTHING was set up, though my boyfriend's dad did jump in with me trying to get things rolling. It is funny, the guests gravitated toward the homemade stuff that I brought or non-processed things that were available.

However, I was able to just sit and chat with family and I found that I was WAY more outgoing than I ever have been. Usually I hide out or sit there shyly. Not this time. I was like right in the middle...that has to be because of weight loss and personal growth. Just...I dunno, I was different and my boyfriend noticed it. Plus preparing things ahead of time meant I was able to just sit and relax a bit, still was on my feet all day, but not as much as I usually am and I wore heels...looked nice. New sweater, jewelry, makeup, heels...not the usual me. Or is it? hehe.

I've spent the past day and a half catching up on sleep and relaxing. Oh and the kids love their gifts. They ended up playing laser tag (we got them a cheapo laser tag) all night, and adored their stockings. in fact they were most excited about that. We got them little ring pops and they ate those right away lol. Very inexpensive stuff, but they loved it all so that is great. :D

I hope everyone is well. I'm making changes so I can get back 10000000% on weight loss as a major focus. Just want to get healthy...I want this weight off...I can do it!

*HUGS* You ladies rock! :hug::hug::hug::hug:

Well, I am new here. I will admit my weight once....hopefully it will get easier to accept that I am as heavy as I am. I weigh 370 pounds!! I am starting today...I will take care of myself. I will lose over 200 pounds! I will be a healthier momma for my 5 kids! I will no longer be the fattest person in the room. I will no longer have to worry about my butt fitting into a chair! Today is the start....

Looking forward to getting to know all of you here!

Spent a bit of time, getting all the stats updated for the Fall Biggest Loser Challenge. Thanks to all that participated! The Winter challenge is now up, so if you'd like to join, just hop on over to that thread!

Yesterday, my Grandfather did pass. So if I'm absent for a couple of days, you all know why. Thank you all for your constant support. I love you girls! *hugs*

Annie - I am doing okay, thanks. It was hard to see him that way, but he's no longer suffering.

Beth - Welcome to the group! :)

Hello my Peeps!

Welcome Beth!

Kayley, I'm sorry for your grandpa's passing. You are such a strong woman! I admire your workouts. You are an inspiration.

Annie, OMGosh.. that baby is ADORABLE!! I think the baby is gonna be seeing photo spots for a while.. hehe. He looks like a golden (and you know I'm partial to them). Hugs!

Jacquie, you are an angel and saved the day for your family with your cooking. Happy soon to be Bday!

I now have bronchitis, but am feeling better.

Hugs to all my peeps,
Ratkity

good morning ladies:)
well, i did something yesterday that is not in the norm for me. i ate A LOT. i baked a choc cake for my sister, and for some reason i ate almost half the darn cake.. i never do that.. im not even a sweet eater for the most part.. if im going to eat a lot of something its peanuts, or chips, or something like that. i am sooo mad at myself:(... i paid for it tho.. TMI but i spent a long time in the loo afterwards. oh well, today is another day.
i hope everyone is doing well:)

beth: welcome hun:)

Morning all,

Jacquie: I am so happy and proud of you for getting to 270+ That is an amazing accomplishment and keep on rockin it girl. Glad that all of your meal went well and everyone loved it and the gifts.

Beth: Welcome. Just remember that your weight is just a number. It doesn't define you. You are not your weight. Hugs and welcome again. I know all of the goals and dreams you have minus the healthy mom for your children dream but all the rest can come true for you. Work hard and come here often. Stick with it and you can do it. Hugs.

Kayley: So sorry about your Grandpa's passing. Hugs. Thanks for doing the biggest looser things.

Rat: Get better right now! Okay. Hugs. Ya he does look like a golden to me too but he also looks like a lab. lol.

Twilight: New day today so you messed up on the eating yesterday. Today is a fresh start. Hugs.

Well, I am waiting on my hair to dry as you can see in the photos of me and my doggies, I have naturally curly hair so I want to straighten it today and it needs to dry first before I flat iron it. tee hee. girly stuff. Then I am going to go visit a friend in the hospital and maybe do some mall walking and look for the calendar keosk to see if they have a big sale so I can get a cute one for the kitchen counter. I always like to pull a new page daily and read something inspirational or cute or funny.

Blessings all,
Annie

Kayley:I am sorry to hear about your grandpa..hugs :(

Annie: I love those dogs!!!! I wanted one but sadley could not afford one. Your looking good yourself!

Jacquie: Glad Christmas was good..and the kids loving their gifts makes it all worth it

Beth: Welcome to our little corner! Glad you have joined us.

Twilight: dont ya hate when ya eat crap and cant stop..I hate that

Rat: sorry ya have bronchitus

AS for me: today I complained ALOT at work! I seriously think I make things worse on myself. I foudn out yesterday that my brother has a warrent in another city. About 100 miles from here where my cousin lives. This is why he wont go with us when we go to visit. I AM SO STINKIN PISSED! I am going out on a limb to help him and he said he will not pay off whatever he got a ticket for 10 plus years ago. I told him he has to pay it...or we are moving!! My hubby can get in trouble for living with someone who has warrents. So yesterday I ate a bunch of crap..and paid for it today!

Trying to right my ship after Christmas. Had 2600 calories today, but at least I'm counting again, and less than yesterday. I've found that cranking it down after going off works better than trying to just jump back on. Tomorrow I'm shooting for 2000. I did have a NSV today. I went to the doctor, and was able to fit in the seats in his waiting room. They still aren't comfortable, but I didn't have to stand. I'll be glad when the kids are all back in school in January so that my water aerobics class will be held again.

Cyn: Hugs to you sorry about the news on your brother.

Catherine: Great job easing back into things. You are so smart. I hope school starts soon too. lol.

Blessings all,
Annie

Hi Ladies...

Hope everyone is having a good week..I am trying hard to get back to healthy eating but i am having a hard time of it but at least i went back to exercising ( havent exercised since last tuesday) and went back to drinking water but my plan is to get back to healthy eating tomorrow..the main problem is that there really isnt any healthy food in the house and i wont be able to buy any healthy food until thursday so i am just going to try to eat smaller portions the next couple days until i can get some healthier food in the house but i just keep telling myself that i have lost 50 lbs and i cant stop now i have come to far to stop now but i have noticed that i have felt more tired and sluggish since i stopped exercising and eating right and acording to the scale last saturday i was maintaining and i havent stepped on it since then i am afraid of what it will say but i wont step on the scale to weigh in until next tuesday jan 5th because i got a biggest loser calendar and they have it set on there so i can mark my weight on tuesdays so that is what i am going to do! I cant wait until jan 5th also casue that is when biggest loser starts again--and i need the motivation let me tell ya!

Kayleystar-have you tried the wii sports resort? that game is really fun too my husband and i have been playing quite a bit since we got the wii on xmas :)

Well, good night ladies
Heather

Kayleystar - *HUGS* Sorry to hear about your Grandfather's passing. Thinking of you...

Cyn - ACK! That sounds like a rough time. :( *HUGS* Hang in there...

Annie - Your puppy is so cute :D Hehe...

****
Morning ladies. I'm fussing with my health insurance company that has rejected a claim, well they are in the process of rejecting it, and I'm trying to gather more information but there isn't much at this point to get! So, I'm wondering is this normal? To have just random claim rejections because it is totally random... I went into my OBGYN for hormone control checkup, we also looked at a skin issue, and apparently now the entire visit is under investigation. What is that about?? Of course I have the bare bones health insurance plan, I can't afford more. It is so expensive and I guess I am lucky I got covered at all since apparently I hear it is hard for people at my weight to get coverage! Frustrated lol.

Other than that, I'm sort of waking up this morning and just catching up on emails and the like.

i hope everyone is well *HUGS*

Morning all,

Heather: Stick with it honey. You can do it. Eat as healthy as possible and drink plenty of water to stay away from snacks. Hugs.

Jacquie: I'm so sorry that you are battling health insurance. Hang in there.

Kayley: thinking of you sweetie.

Well, I did the elliptical 2 times yesterday for 5 minutes each time and I walked in the mall for about 20 minutes. I am so happy. Cardiac Rehab won't let me do the elliptical but I have one at home and watching my sister in law do my exercise equiptment is killing me so I just had to try. I did it at a level that I can still breath and talk and no chest pains until later in the evening. I am going to try to do it again today. It is super hard with her here visiting because she tries to control me. She tries to control what I do I know she is just worried but she does like to be in charge. She read a book I am writing, I allowed her to and she told me that she made changes! I was like what the??? Oh well, I guess it is just her personality.

I hope that you all drink your water, move your bodies and have a very blessed day.

Blessings all,
Annie

annie- some people arent happy unless theyre controlling others lol. just do your best to ignore her and do what you want anyway:).. my mother was very controlling and i learned very early to have 'selective' hearing.

cyn- sorry about the troubles with your brother. family huh? sometimes its too bad you cant pick em like you do your friends:)


well, im finally starting to feel better since my cake binge ..i dont even like cake, so go figure lol. im going for a walk soon and really going to watch my cals today. i wish i could afford a gym membership. i get so bored trying to figure out exercises alone here at home all the time. i do have some dumbells and work with those but nothing steady as i dont really know what im doing lol. i signed up for the biggest loser challenge and hope that helps me stick to it some. i like friendly competition:)
well, i hope you all have a really good day

Hello ladies. Just passing through. I've got so much to get done today. I need to go and pick up some floral arrangements for my Grandfather's funeral tomorrow, and pick up the stuff to make up some muffins for tomorrow as well. And then I've gotta hit the gym sometime this afternoon, since I'll be gone all day tomorrow with the funeral and everything else.


So, this may be TMI, but I got a Urinary Tract Infection, and I've been chugging Cranberry Juice to get rid of it, and I definitely think my weight is going to be up on Saturday, because it's so full of sugar and whatnot. (Cuz I'm drinking the 100% juice stuff, that works the best). But I just have to think of it as medicine, right? Heh. And hopefully, next week, I'll see a loss.


I need to take some -50 lbs pictures soon. I keep putting it off.



Ratkitten - Thank you so much, I truly appreciate it. Hope you get back to feeling 100% asap! Bronchitis is no fun.

Twilightwing - Sometimes we binge for no apparent reason, even if we don't like the item we're bingeing on. Doesn't make sense, but it happens. The key is that you're back on track now, and it's behind you! :)

Heather hb - Haven't tried the Sports Resort, yet. I think we're going to rent it this weekend, though, because a friend of ours was talking about it. We love the Wii. :) We've had it for about 6 months, and it never gets boring.

Jacquie - I don't have insurance, and haven't had it for a long time, so I have no clue, sorry. :(

Annie-If someone changed my writing, there would be bloodshed involved. You have great restraint.

Jac-Health insurance, don't get me started. I'm guessing that looking at your skin was what set off warning bells that there might something cosmetic involved.

Taking it easy today trying to get thing arranged for school to start next week. Mostly trying to get my schedule situated.

Hiya my peeps,

Jacquie, I had something randomly rejected by my insurance. New office person put the wrong primary codes in. The insurance paid it in the end. They hope you don't fight it and they make money on a technical error. Keep up the good fight!

Oh dear about the writing Annie. I'm a gov't worker, so I'm used to people editing my writing style. If I wait long enough, it goes back to where it was originally and everyone is happy they put their 2 cents worth in the document. The funny part is that the same people tell me I'm a good writer. Be careful on the machines.. yeah, you already know that. Hugs to that tank of a puppy!! Mine are in front of my gas fireplace, stealing my warms.

I am feeling better and can even smell today! yay! I am still coughing a wee bit and more than a little tired after a full day at work. I found out that my whole cubical area was diseased over the holidays. Everyone had some version of what I had.

Hugs to all!!
Luv,
Ratkity

PS BUURRRRRRR cold in DC! I could do without the wind!

Well chickies I had personals written out..then my computer turned off..ugh!!

I think it is time to clean it out again.

So tonight watching movies with hubby and kids..if i can stay awake

Good Evening all,

I have done so much exercise for me today. It felt great. I did the elliptical 2 different times for 5 minutes each. Rode the bike for 30 minutes then took my old doggie for a walk around the snowy block.

I was all set to go for another walk with hubby and doggie but I layed on the floor next to doggie and my head hit a toy that my other dog, Bear loved and it sings songs and I just lost it. I can't believe how sad I am about losing my sweet little Bearbee. It just came like a wave. I guess being about that time of the month might have something to do with it Hmmm.

Twilight: Yep. I just ignored her and haven't even looked at it and probably won't until she leaves. Good luck with the Biggest Looser Challenge.

Kayely: I hope that you can see a Dr. very soon about your infection! Sometimes they don't go away so easily and they are so painful. Not what you are needing right now. Hugs.

Catherine: She is a school teacher and I think that most of the corrections she did will end up being grammer etc. but, I'm with you. No big deal though. I can change it right back. Have fun getting ready for school.

Rat: Stay warm sweetie pie.

Cyn: Sorry about your post. Have a nice night with hubby.

Well, speaking of hubby, mine is back from said walk with Pepper so I am gonna get off her for tonight.

Blessings all,
Annie

Hi all,


It's been a long time since I have been here, but here I am. There has been a decent amount of activity in my life since I have been away. In July I started a new job (not really by choice, I got the job because the person who had it was laid off). It has been a very hard job. I average about 60 to 70 hours per week. I have also been traveling a good amount. I have averaged 1 to 2 weeks per month. I am traveling for 3 weeks in January, at least one month in February, and we will see beyond that. That has caused me to lose focus on a) eating well and b) exercise. Then my dad had a heart attack the week before Thanksgiving. He is actually doing well at this point. His meds most likely caused it (combined with having knee surgery that day). It was a scare though, as he had 3 heart incidents this year. One Thursday I flew back from California, he had a heart attack that night, and we drove 13 hours that Friday. It was a very short but good trip to see him and the rest of the family.

All of this being said, I have gained about 20 pounds back on. I am teetering around 300 pounds now, and it stinks. I am struggling to get my food back under control. And when to work out? Just need to get my crap together.

I am going to try to check in here more, but we will see. If I am struggling for exercise time, I shouldn't be playing on here.

Glad to see you all again.

Angie

Well I start pre conditioning (MRC) tomorrow! I am excited but lack confidence. I hope that it comes as I lose weight! I enjoy reading all your posts and hope to get to know you better!

Hey girls! How are you all tonight?

I went to the hairdresser to get my hair trimmed, and she talked me into going blonde!!! Aaaah!

What is everyone's plans for NYE?

Just a quickie.....
Annie your new pup is SO cute, I thought of sugesting getting a dog/pup once you felt up to it but didn't want to upset you. I would take issue with the 'corrections' made by sis-in-law (?) ok to say 'Oh I spotted a couple of errors' but TERIBLE to take it on herself to correct them on YOUR book! I'm WAY pedantic about spellings/grammar but would never alter stuff unless asked (or when I'm in school). xxxxxxxx
Carol one day we WILL meet in Derby or that area I hope.xxxxxxx
Ratkitty, hug that ole parrot for me, lol!xxxxxxx
Beth, WELCOME xxxxxx
Pinkflamongo, what's your natural colour? I'm brunette but went blonde for a while, there's a shade of blonde for every skin tone & hair colour. xxxxxx
Umm hope I got everyone, things are a bit weird here, bil is eating (& drinking all the beer, vodka & even my special yearly treat of Tia Maria-that got me REALLY mad, he didn't even ASK!!!!) us out of house & home, hope he gives us something towards his keep soon as we are struggling to buy food this week. I'm going to re-commit (SP??) to weight-loss in Jan, it's been a sh*tty year for me/us but we're still here & together so I'm thankful for that..... I MUSt try & be more amusaing/happy rather than moany & miserable this/next year...lol
xxxxxsharon

Annie - Sounds like someone else I know lol. They are totally unaware of their "helpfulness" and how it comes across lol.

Kaleystar - Hang in there....I know funerals are a bit rough, been to a few myself. *HUGS* Sounds like you are really supporting your family and being there for everyone. As for cranberry juice, very good for you, despite the sugar. I actually love cranberry juice and cranberries are wonderful for so many things. :D See a doc if it doesn't get better though.

Catherine - I think you are right, but it is hard to get information at this point. I don't have anything official from my insurance, probably because of the holidays. So, annoying lol. i'm lucky that it is only going to cost me $122, but my concern is that if I go in for my yearly and something skin related comes up, does that mean the entire visit is rejected? I'm totally gonna fight this though.

Ratkitten - I've heard that too, that most people don't fight it, so I will this time. I figure it is worth the time and though not going to set me back too much, if I don't learn the system now then I might be in trouble with it later. So, this is all a learning curve for me. I'm new to insurance lol. I'm a newb! Glad you're feeling a bit better! Perhaps that is a positive sign for the New Year! Good health!

Realist - *HUGS* Those hard times suck and I often find myself struggling with my weight during those times. I think we all do as our emotions are high, are stress are high, we probably aren't taking care of ourselves as we are focused on taking care of other people. Getting back on track is what is important, I'm with you on that, we all are. *HUGS*

Voodoo - *HUGS* New Year, new positive things! I keep telling myself that. I too, Jan 1st, am going to dive back in. I want to continue to work on my emotional self as well as kick this weight off of me. New Year, NEW Possibilities!

Pink - I'm going to watch horror movies and relax this new year. :D Well...perhaps I'll have some frozen drinky poos....yay! :D

*****
Up a bit late this morning. Gotta get back to sleeping properly. I have trouble getting to sleep, so I get up a bit late. I guess since the holiday is approaching, I gotta get to the store tomorrow and get things for juicing. Going to attempt that again...I think I can get around the green juices, but to be honest, I am so annoyed at the weight on me that I want to just cleanse some of it out and then slowly get back to eating just raw as much as possible. I'm happier then...the problem is right now I don't want to focus on food for me. I just want to relax and get away from dishes and recipes and blah blah. I need a food break. lol. We'll see how it works out.

I hope everyone is well. *HUGS*

Good morning ladies...today i stepped on the scale and i definately didnt like the number i saw i am up 7 lbs :( but im not changing my ticker but i just finished a 3 mile walk the madness stops here!!! seeing that really put things back in perspective for me and tomorrow i am buying lots of healthy things for me to eat i am going to get some appetizers for my husband and my g/f but im gonna buy a veggie tray for me to have :) I havent heard from my g/f about whether she is coming over or not so i will have to call her today i have a feeling she might have went upnorth with her brother and kids for the week i dont know but if that is true we will probably end up either staying home alone or going over to my parents for the evening we will have to see what happens

talk to you ladies soon
Heather

Hi, everyone! I hope it's OK for me to just jump in here.

I was telling my husband today that I really feel excited about starting my weight loss journey. I feel that this time, unlike previous times, he is really supporting me. I think he didn't support me 100% before because he doesn't like "diets" and didn't want me to feel like he agreed that I needed to lose weight. But, this has gotten to the point where I think he is finally on board with me plans. (I'm nearing 350 right now... God knows where I will be in a few months.)

Of course... I don't get to start dieting until next year, after the baby is born! (I'm 24 weeks pregnant :D) So my fear is that I'll lose this driven attitude by then and just be focused on the baby and let it all slide. I guess only time will tell.

I have an doctor appointment tomorrow. I'm nervous about developing pre-e and HELLP again like last time. My blood pressure has been on the rise - so they are actually doing a "bonus" ultrasound tomorrow to make sure the baby is handling everything OK in there. I'm excited to get a sneek peak at my little girl again! I hope things go well... I'm nervous about needing to go on bedrest like last time. With a 16 month old toddler, bedrest seems like it would be a real challenge. :^: Wish me luck!

Sorry to be so me-me-me on this post... I don't have enough time to comment on everyone's posts. But, I have to say that you are ALL in inspiration. You all are creating such a wonderful and supportive community here.

I am new here, and looking for support. I am sick of being over 300# I am hoping that being on here and chatting with you all will give me what I need to lose. I am addicted to Biggest Loser....wish I could go on the show. I know that would work. Hope to make some new friends here.

Amy

ohioU:welcome!!! Jump right in

mama: Motivation comes and goes for most of us...stay here and soon youll be loosing

hb: sorry your up on the lbs :(

jacquie: I have not been sleeping well either..for me too much on the mind

Annie: sorry things are rough for yu with the pooch you lost..it is so sad. hugs

as for me: I am off of work til monday YEAH!!! That place really urks me sometimes lol SO tonight watching another movie..and tomorrow I think we are going out of town not sure. They got snow up north and hubby wants to go play in it. I will be mailing out my cards for OWH tomorrow. I have made 35..not alot but every bit helps.

Hi my chickie friends,
Here I am again trying to commit to losing weight. I have all the tools, just need to put them to use. At least this time my hubby Jim has decided to try and lose too which makes it so much easier for me when we both try.

It's time to break out the DDR and start using my weights, treadmill and my newest toy...Your Shape.

Annie, sorry to hear someone "editing" your book for you. Just take it in stride. So you have snow? I want some!!

Cyn, Have fun in he snow. What is OWH?

hi OhioUChick, Mama, welcome! You'll find lots of support here.

Jacquie, I'm with you...I definitely need a food break. I wish it was like smoking. If you needed a smoke, you had to go out and buy them...food is always around...just not fair.

Sharon, hope your new year is better for you. You've been thru so much this last year. Hugs

Angie, good to see you again! I've been MIA for quite some time too. Maybe together we can lose this darn weight.

Ratkity, aw feeling sick huh? Well take it easy, stay warm and get inbetween those darn dogs. LOL

Well thats about it for me tonight. I gotta go take my shower and then watch a little tv.
Hope everyone has a wonderful and safe New Years!!!:carrot:

Hello My sweet ladies!

Things are almost back to normal around here. Hubby leaves to El Paso in the morning. Tree gets put away and kids go back to school on Monday. I am craving ROUTINE! Got lots of exercise and did not even indulge much over the holidays except the ocassional lick and bite. Which is great! Will get on the scale tomorrow. ITs been a few weeks. Not to bad as Flow came last week and I dont weigh in at all that week! lol

Hope you all had lovely holidays! Prayers for a prosperous & Happy New Year!

Heather

How many calories in champagne? O well, I suppose it's like buying a Jag, if you have to ask how much, you can't afford it.

Happy New Year peeps!

Happy new year everyone!!

Hey all -- I'm doing some "clean up" around here, and decided to start a new picture thread. I won't unstick the old one for a while, but please feel free to post in the new one!!

Happy New Year all!

I'm still recovering from my flu that stole Xmas, but am feeling much better.

I wanted to watch a movie last night, but got verrrrry sleepy and went to bed instead.. hehe. I'm still catching up on sleep.

2009 was a majorly rough year and I am looking forward to 2010!

Hugs to all,
Ratkity

Happy New Year...

Well I drank a little too much, but I had frozen margaritas and pomegranate martinis last night. :D Watched two movies, that were really good, and relaxed. Ate naughty foods and today I'm Day 1 on my modified juice feast, hopefully. I'm doing a smoothie/juice combo. :D We'll see how it works out.

This year I want to FOCUS on weight loss and health. I need to get my weight off. From June 2008-June 2009 I lost about 63/65 pounds. From June until now I've struggled with a 20 pound weight loss after regaining a bit, so going to focus on getting to 200 pounds. :D
