I'm almost employed! They have to push the background check through, but it won't have anything I haven't already told them about. So I should start Tuesday

I was down a pound yesterday! Guess I need to go to the gym more often!! :D

HELLO! Not many around today. I know many are on vacations and what not. Hope everyone is doing well and having fun.

rosetta- Hope your daughter is feeling better. We're finally getting some warmer weather here , which is okay , but the winds are going to blow 25-35 mph for the next couple of days still. It gets old... 1st part of June was to wet and now we're watering our lawn to keep a touch of green to them...

Aclai - Way to go on the job! Good for you!

Monte - 1 pound closer- Way to go!!


For me- I'm up 4 lbs:eek:... TOM is here... I'm crabby and unhappy because of it. :( Sorry to whine...


I'll be back before I head away for the holiday.


GO RED TEAM!!!!!!!:hug:

Hey All!

I fell off the wagon, was rolled around, and then ran over by the back wheels on the fore mentioned wagon (nice metaphor huh?) I have been out of town, without a scale, and with my mom at the hospital for the past week and 2 days. She had surgery, and is doing great, but her horrible eating habits engulfed me. I know all just excuses, but I am back the damage isn't undoable. I was absolutely terrified when I stepped on the scale today. I am back on the wagon with ya'll tomorrow!

Hope everyone is having a great week!

Hi guys just thought I would pop in to see how you are all doing before I head off to bed. I am off for the next two days so I am pretty excited about that.

I think it has been a bit quite on both teams but I guess that is to be expected during the summer months. If I had somewhere to go I'd be gone too....lol

Shan should be back tomorrow I just hope she doesn't have jet leg and can actually enjoy her first few days back home.

Happy Canada Day to all the Canadians on the Red Team I hope you all have something fun to do tomorrow. I really want to go to a parade but not sure which one.....Drumheller, Airdrie, or perhaps I will be to lazy to do any of it and just sit in the sun

Have a great night ladies.

happy Canada day!! my fellow Canadians!!

RED TEAM LADIES!!! I'm here!

Ok where to begin, my biggest NSV in a long time. I fly three different flights to make it to Florida and on every flight I actually fit into my seat comfortably! No overspilling my thighs into the next seat. Not only that, but I didn't need a seat belt extender. I actually was able to tighten the seat belt by about 4 inches. WOW! Then, I also was able to comfortably use the restroom on the international flight, 4 times! That's right 4 times. I was shocked I could use it the first two times, so I went back two more times. Haha!

Second, I arrived after 25 hours of flights including a 5 hour delay in Dallas. It was 1am in Florida when I arrived. I was so nervous to see my family. I swear I felt like I was dreaming. I walked out of the security area, and my mom, dad, and youngest sister were standing there. They were smiling and my mom and sister started to cry. They hugged me (including my dad, which was very unexpected). Then, I caught a movement out of the corner of my eye and there holding a camera taking pictures was my other sister. I'm closest to her. She had told me she wouldn't make it to the airport so I was totally shocked. She ran to me and hugged me. I totally cried. I felt so special and they are all so shocked of the progress I have made in my journey so far. This is going to be a great 7 weeks vacation. I'm going shopping later today to get some groceries so I can eat on plan while I'm here in Florida for the week.

End of novel :) :carrot: :carrot:

Morning!

Not sure what workout im doing today..yesterday we took the kids out to a local nature trail and hiked for 3miles, so fun. We then went to a buffet(not exactly diet freindly) and i didn't do too bad, i had only had 600 calories up to that point.

Anyone got any plans this weekend? We're grilling out Sunday but thats about it!

Im doing something different this week team! I normally weigh in just about every morning, well...not anymore. If the scale doesn't go in my favor i get sad and moody for most of the day. I haven't weighed in in over three days and i feel great. So Sunday mornings will be my only weigh in day from now on!:)

Shan-What a wonderful welcome from your family, sounds so nice! Have a lovely time shopping later!

Hello to everyone, I'm out of time or i would reply to everyone. Have a wonderful day!!!:hug:

Shan-What a wonderful reunion! I am so happy for you. Congrats on the airplane victories. Ah life's little rewards. You earned em! I cannot imagine 25 hours of airplane travel. You are one accomplished world citizen.

I am in Kansas City today after traversing the interstates of Tennesse, Kentucky, Illinois and Missouri. Yesterday was a picture perfect day for a long car ride. The farm fields are especially lovely this year from all the recent rain. Getting ready to take off for the final leg of the trip today. I am going to try to do my best to keep the calories within reason today but it will be difficult without doing my own grocery shopping. I am already hankering for fresh fruit and veggies!

misspriss-good luck with the new weigh in schedule. I am a daily weigh-in type of gal but this week I have to go without the scale. I figure I will just have to go by how my clothes feel. I actually packed two sizes of shorts for the trip because I am afraid I will eat too much and the smaller size will be too tight!

Bigmid and 2phat inV-Happy Canada Days Girls. I shared that fact with my husband that and now he won't stop whistling your anthem. He learned it from the Olympics!

Shan! So glad you had such a wonderful homecoming and those awesome NSV's on the planes!!

I'm sure your family is super proud of you! Have a great time and have fun shopping for smaller clothes too!

Sizes when I left the USA to go to Korea- 32 bottom, 26/28 top
Sizes when I returned to the USA (1 1/2 year later, and 1 year into my lifestyle change- 22 bottom, 14/16 top

WOOHOOOOOO!!!

Hi ladies. I'm doing well here in Florida. Tomorrow is the Daytona Coke Zero 400 and this is the race that I have been planning for 4 months to attend with my dad to celebrate his 50th birthday this past May. I bought VIP tickets for us to be down on pit road the whole race. I'm super excited! Should be a great time! Food wise I am doing great here in the states so far. No slip ups. Getting in my calories, and sometimes a little low on calories. I've been able to get in a lot of fruits and veggies. I'm feeling great. I haven't worked out in the past two days but I have been doing lots of walking. TOM finished today so I'm hoping when I weigh on Sunday morning that I have some kind of loss.

What is everyone else up to for 4th of July? We will be celebrating here in Daytona. We are doing a cook out at my sister's with a bunch of baked and grilled veggies, big salad, and some meat. Then we are going to main street on Daytona Beach for a big celebration.

Good luck to everyone, and hope everyone is doing well!
