Hi guys! Just checking in, can't stay long. Yesterday, at 5:05pm, I became an aunt again! The baby is premature but doing well, so can't ask for much more than that. Hope everyone is doing well and I'm sure I'll be around at some point this weekend.

Wow, I'm really zonked...I wanted to pop in and say hello to you all though...I had a GREAT day foodwise, I stayed on program and I worked did this massive 2 mile walk today...I'd never tried Walk Away the Pounds Express 2 Mile walk..MAN that is SO much harder than the original walk away the pounds...boy i worked up a sweat today...but it felt sooo good...i didn't think I was going to make it at first.
Oh, and in other news today I picked up a part time job at Border's to supplement my other jobs...yay!! They have a BRUTAL hiring process..I've never had to have two itnerviews for a RETAIL job before...


Thin - I never watch Survivor ...what is this merge? Does that mean there's only one team now? I can't stand that gay guy..he's such a drama queen..gah...rememer my incident at my job? Where I supposedly "pulled" a girl's hair??? Well the guy who reported me acted JUST like him...flaming obnoxious guy..bah....(For the record I'm not prejudiced against gay people - I have a few gay guy friends who think people like him make the rest of them look bad lol)

I better lose weight this week. :/

Anyways, I'm off to watch Survivor and the Apprentice...

Sorry about the double post, I wanted to get the 2x2 in LOL

Okie, so the relaties have been evicted… I don’t plan on weighing myself this week tho :-P I’ll wait til next week hehehehe… I know I was bad bad bad with my eating this week. Not as bad as I have been when Uncle TOM and Aunt Flo are here, but bad none the less. I’ll be doing a lot of calculus this weekend…. Anyone offering to do my homework?? *POUTS*

I’ll be working out this evening with James… He wants to get back into shape to and he seems to like the “Lifting Weights to Loose Weight” video that I have. It’s nice to have someone there to workout with me.

Iwillbe -

Jackay – Hello WELCOME! What an adorable picture of your kids!

Jazzmine – Actually I work up at 7:30 today rather than 6:00… I had to leave at 7:50 for work… so it was hectic this morning… I hope to catch up on sleep this weekend. Then during my conscious hours I plan on studying my calculus. I won’t get into the details… but OY! Hehehe

Esmaraude – great story thanks for sharing.

Pebs – Hello WELCOME!


Take care everyone!
Sue...

Well, I thought we were going to Subway, but my friend and her sister changed their minds and wanted me to meet them at Fazoli's instead.

I knew what I wanted and made my order, but they totally messed it up. I wanted the grilled chicken with the side of steamed broccoli and a side salad, but somehow they ended up giving me some kind of salad with grilled chicken instead. I pointed out the mistake, and they offered to let me keep the bigger salad while I waited for the rest of my order. But they gave me some kind of chicken and broccoli bake instead that was smothered in cheese. I didn't have anough time to have it fixed yet again since I had to get to work, so I ended up eating a lot more fat than I had planned on. I could've just asked for my money back, but I was hungry! Oh well, it wasn't that bad. These kinds of things will happen once in a while, right?

Howdy everyone! Just checking in before hitting the sheets. The thread's been pretty dead today. I know Lilion is gone, but where the heck is everyone else? Ok, I know a few of you have been here. It's just we have alot that are missing.

SueMarie: Great that you have a workout buddy!

Esmaraude: That's really cruddy that you couldn't get the right meal. Kind of makes eating out not too much fun.

Brandnewme: Congrats on being a new auntie! You didn't say niece or nephew? Glad the baby is doing well, I hope mom is too.

Melissa: I'm confused. If you "never watch Survivor", how do you even know about the gay guy? And why would you want to start watching it now when the season is half over?

I was surprised at the way Survivor ended up. I'm glad for the way Apprentice ended up. And that's all the news that fit to print at this end....and I'm not sure THAT was fit to print. Night all. Love ya bunches.

Thin -
When I say I "never" watch it I mean i've only seen it a couple of times, and one of those times was a couple weeks ago when i noticed the obnoxious guy...so that was that...and I think the Apprentice ended the way we all figured it would, but it's a shame because I liked him a lot, but i'm not sure he had what it took. It's neat though that Trump said he was a good kid, as well as Carolyn.

On a more embaressing note has anyone gotten one of those nasty painful skinfold rashes?

I wanted to pop in just this once to thank whoever recommended fitday.com, it's amazing and detailed. It's perfect.

Thanks.

Bleh. Those are horrible!

I actually never had one until a few months ago, around the time of my very first yeast infection. I don't know about you, but mine seemed to be connected with it somehow since I had them at the same time; they were both painful and itchy (but on different parts of my body). I started eating yogurt and it cleared right up. I also put some medicated powder on it (the skinfold rash part) to help it keep dry while it was healing.

hello[SIZE=6][COLOR=Navy]

I just wanted to say hello to all you wonderful women on here. My name is Kymberly, and i have been lurking here for a few weeks. Your stories are so inspirational, and have kept me motivated. I currently weigh 216, but my highest wt ever was 314. my goal weight is between 155-160. It is so difficult to find anyone who understands the difficulties and challenges in trying to lose alot of weight. I work with people who are a size 2or 4, and want to lose weight! so you can see how missplaced i feel! i look forward to posting and getting to know you wonderful people. Have a great day!

Karen -

yeah see this is the even grosser part - I tried Gold Bond Medicated powder. At first I didn't really think about the fact that it was in a green bottle instead of a yellow one...weeell....I put it on and then I got this slight cooling sensation right...then I waited a couple moments and realized this "slight" cooling senation wasn't going away,and soon thereafter became a nasty BURNING sensation. Oh. My. Gosh. I couldn't move, every time I did I felt this agonizing burn. Finally I found my courage to wash it off (which hurt like ****)...I looked at the bottle and saw that it was EXTRA STRENGTH. It was like 5% menthol compared to the .8% in the regular stuff. Egads.
Man that hurt...

Mornin' All,

It's too nice out to be stuck here at the office but, what can I say I need the $$$$$'s.

So far I've had a pretty good week. No major slip up's. WI tomorrow AM so I'll stay really honest today.

Greetings to all the newbies. You've found a great place for friendship and support.

I'm a bit pissed. I found some jeans in 28P at Lane Bryant on line. I had a $20 off coupon so I got 2 pair. (All my 30's are baggy .... as in falling off.) They 28P's fit my legs, my waist and my butt but getting the darn zipper up is a challenge. DUMB TUMMY FAT!!!! I'm keeping them. I'll wear them for short periods around the house while they stretch. Hopefull 5 or 10 lbs. down the line they'll fit perfectly.

Goota get back to work,

MissMeliss- Jeez, I didn't even realize they carried extra strength! I know how bad the burning sensation can be in other areas.

I gotta be careful with that area under my tummy, since it's really prone to those rashes now. And it never used to be!

Well, I'm back from work and my workout. I gotta stop weighing myself everyday, but it's so tempting with the scale right downstairs in the Y's changing room. And it's one of those official-looking doctor's office scales with the weights at the top, so I feel they're more accurate than any I could buy for my house. I've been pretty steady with going slightly down for a while now, but I've fluctuated in the wrong direction this time around. I know that Fazoli's lunch kinda messed me up a bit but there's no way it made me gain four pounds since yesterday morning! But I'm not changing my siggy again until Monday when I usually do my "official" weigh-in. I'm not gonna let this get to me (as it normally would) and I'm gonna be positive.

UPDATE!

Judy- I missed you post and had to respond to it when I saw it.

I've found that I have the exact same problems with my jeans. They'll fit everywhere but my tummy and it's really frustrating! And if I go to the next size up they're way too big. It wasn't very long ago when I found I fit in some 28 jeans at Lane Bryant but not others. And I can't even touch the jeans at Shopko right now because most brands only go up to a 26, the Lane Bryant size I'm (sometimes) into now, since they won't go around my tummy, either.

But I can easily wear regular non-denim 2X pants?

Ok this is totally not related to weight loss but I needed to vent....why are some people just so....disrespectful? I'm a vendor and I do a lot of store visits to stores in my area...this means I'm in and out of a lot of stores every week, and I seldom have any chance to get "close" to the people that I work with. That must be why it is so easy for managers to be b*tchy. Usually I don't even notice, the usual snide comment like "that's dumb, why the **** are you here for that??" or "you're too late to do the job, I've taken care of it" (even when I am perfectly on time)....but today I called a particular store I had to do a reset in...I found out the section was NINE four foot sections....now normally it takes about four or five hours to do three or four four foot sections...and I'd only been alloted four hours to do this job....so I asked the manager if they would mind me coming in next week since my entire day is already mapped out, and nowhere do I have time to do a 12 hour job. She was so not understanding, in fact all she did was ***** at me for the last section that I did, saying I did the labels "completely wrong." So I apologized tactfully, but she kept going off on it....hello you do not need to tell me EIGHT times that I did your labels wrong, tell me once and I'll rectify it from now on....All I could think of was that movie Office Space when Peter is reminded by like 6 different bosses that he needed to put a cover page on his reports from now on..."hello it was just that ONE time..I will do it right from now on..."
Well this lady was like "I expect merchandisers to know what they are doing, I do not know if I want Spar working for my store." .....Hey no skin off my back lady I'm just doing this as a favor for my boss. So yeah she went on for about ten minutes about my labels not being in the upper left hand corner. It just ticks me off because I've been doing resets with them now for six months and not ONCE has anyone told me I was doing labels wrong...and I've been to FOUR DIFFERENT K-Marts in the past six months...not once did a manager tell me i was putting labels on wrong.

Grrr.

Esmaraude – I dunno if they happen only once, but I know when we’ve ordered pizza from a certain pizza place… we ordered 2 pizzas and a 2 liter of soda. That was our first order. So we get the pizzas, where’s the soda. I call and they say we’re sorry we’ll credit you two sodas and so on. Next time we order, same thing happens, they forget the soda they credited us. This happed 4 times in a row. Eventually we told them to keep their pizza and soda. Then we tried another place. We had a small group of friends over and we ordered 3 pizzas, 3 sodas, and 2 orders of their chicken wings. Well the pizza came first. We called asked where the rest of our order was, they apologized and sent another driver out. So…. That driver came with the sodas. But where were the wings??? They sent a THIRD driver out. So I called, spoke to the manager, and he goes. I’m sorry, we’ll credit you your sodas. Like DUH! I think we’re cursed. So we gave up on pizza being delivered, and went to a whole new place LOL.

MissMeliss - I have. I haven’t had any recently, but I know when I was kid, I always played sports and I would get them, like where my stomach hung over. I also got a rash where my legs rubbed together from all the running around and sweating…. It sucks, which is why I hate sweating and doing exercise. whooo, talk about an embarrassing memory. OUCH about the gold bond!

Kymberly – WELCOME


I gotta run to work, will post more later!

Hugz to all!
