hello good morning everyone. we are off to another hot day in Indiana...but wow i am ready to go another pound lost. hope everyone burns lost of calories today got to go workout before it is too hot

Tinky ~ I just saw the picture of your pug. My ODD would be in love. They think pugs are the greatest. Good luck on the evaluation, ours here is yearly.

Grammy~ You poor thing! Sometimes I think tough love is harder on those giving it out. :hug: Oh, and don't worry about the wisdom teeth. It's a piece of cake! Mine were impacted really bad and I had no problems with the removal (I did go under.)

Tinky~ Good Luck!

Zenor ~ He said I am lucky that although my teeth on the bottom are slightly leaning forward the roots are not curved and don't have big hooks. He was sure some laughing gas and shots is plenty but I didn't have to do the gas if I didn't want to. Personally I will take the gas so I can get thru it floating. HAHAHA!

WE GOT A NEW GAS GRILL AND IT'S A WEBER! I don't know if any of use know about gas grills (I don't really know that much.), but apparently Weber's are really good. It was $300 and is really nice. My uncle is going to set it up tonight and I'm going to grill Steak!

They put the box on the treadmill and instructed me NOT TO MOVE IT. So I pulled out an old exercise tape and It's from like 94 and I feel like a fool when I do any of the exercises. :rofl:

Well I started the Alli diet, but I'm not taking the pills until Sunday. I woke up at 11:10 so Breakfast wasn't applicable, more like a 1400 calorie diet today. Just thought I'd tell anyone interested in the Alli diet plan. :)

Natalia ~ I'm sure that weight's from the sodium. That's why I'm leery to eat chinese food. :p

Theresa ~ I read the thread over in "Does It Work?" about Alli and it looks like a lot of the people testing it have had what Alli calls "Treatment Effects". I'm nervous about leaving the house when on the pills and my grandparents like to take me out to eat once a week (normally Applebee's, thank God.) because they are getting old. (They're 82 & 73)

Lara ~ Haha. I'm still unsure if it's pronounced like the name Allison or like your friend in war, ally! Maybe like your war in weight loss? IDK. The lady that created the diet isn't named Allison. I think.

I'm sorry about your DD. I'm sure she'll come around, it just might take awhile. :hug:

Georgia Lady ~ Sorry, I've never heard of "Snack Away" I'll keep an eye out for them when I go grocery shopping.

Meg ~ I really can't eat 1800 calories a day, and now that I'm out of school til the Fall I sleep late and sometimes I don't eat breakfast. I guess I'll take 3 capsules the days I wake up early enough to get breakfast and 2 when I don't. So it'll be more like a 1400 calorie diet, but when I wake up in time to eat breakfast it'll be 1600 because I never really eat a 400 calorie breakfast myself.

Crafty Mommy ~ I've lost track of the posts too! So many! When I lurked I never thought I'd write this much but I do! :rofl:

Zenor ~ You have a nose piercing? That's so awesome! I'm still under 18 so I need parental consent but my mom said she'd get me one done a week before my birthday (My birthday is like the 3 day I'll be at UGA.) if I lost a noticable amount of weight. I did it last summer and I'll do it again!

Tinky ~ I love the picture, you're so pretty! :)

Milleradah ~ Hi! I haven't seen you around here! :welcome:

My hands are sore from typing! HAHA! Talk to y'all later.

Bye!

PS : I thought I lost this one but it saved it automatically in Mail. Phew!

This is funny. The reason why is I would be the one asking the question.

This was sent to me in an email and has had me laughing for the day.......


I have 2 dogs & I was buying a large bag of Purina at Big W and standing
in line at the check out.

A woman behind me asked if I had a dog. On impulse, I told her that no, I was starting The Purina Diet again, although I probably shouldn't because I'd ended up in the hospital last time, but that I'd lost 50 pounds before I awakened in an intensive care ward with tubes coming out of most of my orifices and IV's in both arms.

I told her that it was essentially a perfect diet and that the way that
it works is to load your pants pockets with Purina nuggets and simply
eat one or two every time you feel hungry & that the food is
nutritionally complete so I was going to try it again.

I have to mention here that practically everyone in the line was by now
enthralled with my story, particularly a guy who was behind her.

Horrified, she asked if I'd ended up in the hospital in that condition
because I had been poisoned. I told her no; it was because I'd been
sitting in the street licking my balls and a car hit me.

I thought one guy was going to have a heart attack he was laughing so
hard as he staggered out the door.

Stupid lady...why else would I buy dog food???

Lol that was a great story Grammy! I laughed.

Charlene-I have my nose peirced to! If you want it done you should do it, im onyl 17 but my mom just came wtih me when i got it done. I totally dont regret it.

I finally bought a new mp3 player the other day and i went walking wtih it and it helps so much the minutes go by so fast when im jammin out. Do any of you eat those Healthy choice meals???? Well, i supppose im gonna get my butt up and go for a walk before i put it off for too long. Bye everyone

Meg1989 ~ OK, now I get the 1989, was probably the year you were born not the year you graduated. HAHAHA! I graduate from High School in 1986. So, I am old to you. My ODD is 20 and YDD is 16.

Charlene ~ Thanks for the hugs, I need it. I love her and my DGS so much but can't take the abuse any longer. I just went with ODD when she got her tongue peirced, that was horrifying to watch but quick. I am thinking about using that as my award when I get to goal, nose peircing - not tongue. I just want a little itty bitty ball.

Well I better get going and eat my snack.

I eat Healthy Choice meals when they are sale. They are good and they have certain standards to follow because of the word Healthy. I prefer Lean Cuisine and Smart Ones over Healthy Choice. They are usually lower in calories and to me the taste is superior. The reason I think Healthy Choice is higher in calories is they include the dessert, which I don't care for but I also don't know how to subtract it from the total calories.

I usually chose meals that are between 200 - 300 calories, add a salad and low cal dessert on the side. If I chose one that is higher in calories I have sugar free jello. If I have one that is lower I have sugar free/ff pudding or Quackers Drizzles. Just depends on my mood. I also make sure I have a variety on hand. I don't like to cook any more than I have to. The last plan I was on burned me out because everything had to be cooked from scratch. Few years of that and that was enough cooking for me. Plus I want that time for playing. HEHEHEHE! You know the tanner, Curves, walks and shopping.

Wooooo-hoooooo!!! Weigh in day today, and I came in at 159.5!!!
That's a different tens column..:carrot: and 1.5 lbs shy of 20lbs!!!
So excited! I still don't believe it, my scale was showing 161.8 when I left the house..but theirs is usually 1.5lbs lighter than mine :dizzy:

Hope you guys do great on your weigh in's today too! Anyone have thursday as a weigh in day?

Lara- I just wanted to post a quick note to you about mouse traps. We got one at walmart that shocks them. It was like 17.00 a year ago. We got 5 of those nasty mice the first day!!! (we are surrounded by fields). It is the greatest thing ever. A lite blinks when there is one in there, you just put some peanut butter on it.

Today is going ok on food. I have a 3 day weekend, so I am hoping to stay on plan all weekend. I should be able to I think. Well gotta go the kids want to get in the pool.
