And me too, it's one of my favorite books. Enjoy your reading.:)

Congratulations everyone on your weight loss, and to those that didn't, it's a new week:D

off topic but i just found out michael buble has a new album out!! when i went to spotify - i am listening to it. so exciting ! i love him!! his voice is smooth as chocolate. i went to see him in concert in 2008 (actually twice infact!cause i was late for the first concert and missed a couple of songs, i got late cause i was at the library and met my friends at the concert - but the crazy person i am , went again a couple days later on my own hehe, one of the best nights of my life ! :)

one of the best concerts i've ever been to. he was BRILLIANT!!!! :dance: and later on in the concert got down near the stage, and he looked really good! he lost alot of weight. really slimmed down (hehe there i managed to make my tangent sorta related! )

okay sorry for my outburst hehehe :dizzy:

Happy Monday all you Beautiful Bluesers !

Hope everyone had a great weekend.

I pretty much sat on my butt all weekend. We went up to a friends' cabin in the middle of nowhere and it rained the whole time so got in a bunch of reading and movies.

I had great news as I was going out of town. Stopped at the Doctor's office for him to OK my scuba lessons and he has decided to cut my BP and Diabetese medications in half !! This is a huge step in the right direction. He also signed my Scuba forms so off I go in about 2 hours for my first lesson.

Have a great week all !!

Hi Guys!

I've been such a slacker lately, and haven't posted for a couple of weeks...just too busy with so many family things going on...but I *hope* to get back on track here.
I hope everyone is doing well with your goal!

Have a wonderful week!

LOL Echo!

I can't wait until you read the book, it was life changing for me. Really, until I read the book I don't think I would have maintained my weight loss, or changed my life for that matter.

I also read winning for losing, it is a good companion book.

Me thinks that Buble is FINE:D

:wave:

Hi Blue team, I'm baaack!

Our wedding was absolutely amazing - I couldn't have asked for a more amazing day! The whole weekend was full of family, friends, and good fun times. We just spent a week in San Francisco and Monterey for our honeymoon - the longest vacation either of us had taken in more than 3 years!

After 2 weeks of not working out and eating whatever we wanted, I was pleasantly surprised to have only a 3.2lb gain when I weighed in this morning. We're back in action now that we're home from the honeymoon, so I'm confident that weight will disappear soon.

Can't wait to get back in the loop around here and get back to being a good Blue team member!

Practice - Congrats on the wedding!! Glad you had a lovely honeymoon! Many wishes for a long happy life together!

Congratulations and welcome back!

Congrats Practice! You sure can't beat that--a great wedding/honeymoon AND a great weigh in!

So does anyone else HATE changing out their clothes with the seasons? I do. There's bags and bags of clothes everywhere. And sorting them out is awful. Which ones do I like? Which ones don't fit anymore? Which ones don't fit and haven't fit for the past three years, but I've kept hanging on to them thinking maybe they would magically just slip on? Oh well. It must be done.

Congratulations! Glad everything went so well and you had a wonderful time. :)

Bigsexy - I did that last week. I had a HUGE trash bag full of stuff to take to Goodwill. It felt good to purge some of it, and even better to fit in a lot more of what I do have.

So, stupid TOM ruined my day yesterday. My weight yesterday was 175.4 (-1.0) which was cool, it was a loss, but today it was 173.8, which would have been a (-2.6) loss. Oh well, next week will rock! lol

Hope everyone has a great day!

Thanks for all the well-wishes, everyone!

Yeah, I hate this! Right now my struggle is that most of my fall/winter clothes don't fit, but I don't want to buy much more in my current size. How can I make my summer clothes stretch through fall/winter? Can I creatively make last year's stuff work without looking silly?

Welcome back Mrs. Practice. So glad you had a great wedding and honeymoon.

Bigsexy, I'm of the opinion that we all have way too many clothes. I'm not saying that you do, though. I volunteer at the Goodwill Center and my church also has a free clothing store and I see so much good used and badly used clothing come through. We (women, in general) are slaves to the fashion industry...sigh... Good luck with your sorting. :)

Leslie, have fun with those scuba lessons. You've got more nerve that I do.

Hi Suzie. We miss you when you're not here.

Nella, you're doing great.

I did the exercise challenge today that Echo posted yesterday or maybe the day before. If any of you are at a loss for a good workout check out the challenge thread. It says week 5 but we're continuing on into week 6 with it.

DH bought home a huge bag of wind fall apples last night. So I made applesauce last night (8.5 pint jars) and today I made up the last of the apples into 3 pies. The pies are going in the freezer for entertaining but they look so good sitting out there on the kitchen table.

Keep up the good work, Blue troop. We shall overcome.

Leslie, congrats on the medication cut!

My bf surprised me with a trip to Maui, and all we did was snorkel. It was EXTREMELY scary at first because I am not an "open water" person that was the scariest part, but I got used to it and as long as he was holding my hand I was fine. I don't know if I could ever dive! I tend to panic and pant easily when scared.

I do also get VERY sea sick and in that crazy boat ride to Molokini crater 3 miles off the island I was extremely queasy. I didn't even want to get off the boat but sitting in it rocking was worse. So we jumped off with our snorkels, and we were told that we cannot feed the fish/animals/birds on the crater nor touch anything because it's a protected reserve.

Well after a few stroked I straight up vomited straight down underwater, it was disgusting. And next thing you know... fish Swarmed all around me to eat it up! Then everyone else snorkeling around me saw the swarm and got really excited "look, something's happening over there! The fish are all around her, let's go over! Awesome!" and they all came around my area to touch/see the fish. Not my best moment, and no way did I tell anyone what I did to get those fish around me (but my bf thought it was hilarious)


Practice, congrats on the wedding! Hopefully a wedding in my future, maybe a few more public humiliations under my belt to keep the guy entertained first... :)

Let's go girls, I need you guys more than ever these next two weeks! This gal is wearing boy shorts with fishnets for her Halloween costume!

I'm still here just feeling lousy. My sciatic is acting up again, back is killing me and TOM started. it would be funny if it wasn't so painful. Needless to say no working out this week but I am watching what I eat so hopefully I will see another loss next week.

Practice-So glad everything went well. Congrats!!! Many happy wishes for a long life together. I will be celebrating 22 years of marriage on Nov. 7. Marriage can be such a wonderful thing if you go in expecting it to have its ups and downs and believing the ups will be better than the downs! Maybe try some consignment/thrift shops to find cheap clothes that fit.

Happening-LMAO! funny story thank God no one knew the real reason for all the fish!

Hi to everyone else!!
