Well I changed my ticker back to 162. It just keeps bouncing this week.
Oh well. IT WILL GO DOWN. I am sure.
at its own speed… what ever that is.

Lara,
I just got the book by Dr Bob too. I have not read it yet.
Have you tried his plan?

I am interested to here how people like the diet.
Might even go check out that forum after I read the book.


I am sorry to hear you had to sell the horse. That must be like
loosing a family member. OW. Our dog is like a kid to us.
my hubby calls her our second daughter. :D
When do you get the pony cart?
And...Oh! you can talk our ears off anytime you want. That
includes the rest of you too. :carrot:


Edzard,
congrats on the 5 pounds.:carrot: that’s just fantastic.
and its about what I loose every month. Keep it up!

thanks… as you can see I moved my ticker back up. like I said above.
it will be back down soon!

hang in there with the problems at hubby’s job. It will get better.
Maybe try going for a walk when you get stressed. I like to expend
energy when stressed. It helps get the tension out.

Mary,
that is an impressive number of pounds to loose.
How long did it take?
Good Luck with the smoking. I quite about 5 yrs ago. I don’t miss it at all. Most of the time.:o


Here is a joke I received today…

Flat Tire

A blonde's car gets a flat tire on the Interstate one day , so she eases it over onto the shoulder of the road. She carefully steps out of the car and opens the trunk. Takes out two cardboard men, unfolds them and stands them at the rear of the vehicle facing oncoming traffic.
The lifelike cardboard men are in trench coats exposing their nude bodies to approaching drivers…
Not surprisingly, the traffic became snarled and backed up. It wasn't very long before a police car arrives. The Officer, clearly enraged, approaches the blond of the
disabled vehicle yelling,
"What is going on here?"
"My car broke down, Officer" says the woman, calmly.
"Well, what the **** are these obscene cardboard pictures doing here by the road?!" asks the Officer...
"Hellooo, those are my emergency flashers!" she explained.

gotta go, time for work. see ya later girls.

Lara - You're absolutely right. Thanks for writing that! I must go out and get that book (I've been thinking about it). It just gets a little frustrating when the numbers don't go down like you think they're going to. But some of my clothes are definitely feeling a little more comfortable so I just have to keep that in mind and not worry so much about the numbers!

Edzard and Petra - Thanks for your kind words! I know the number on the scale shouldn't be everything but it's nice to be reminded once in a while!

Well, I'm off to a movie with my kid. Have a good day everyone!

Ok
wake up girls.
here is another laugh.
hope it doesn't offend. I thougt it funny. ;)

Girls night out

Two women friends had gone out for a Girls Night Out, and had been decidedly over-enthusiastic on the cocktails. Incredibly drunk and walking home they suddenly realized they both needed to pee. They were very near a graveyard and one of them suggested they do their business behind a headstone or something. The first woman had nothing to wipe with so she took off her panties, used them and threw them away. Her friend however was wearing an expensive underwear set and didn't want to ruin hers, but was lucky enough to salvage a large ribbon from a wreath that was on a grave and proceeded to wipe herself with it. After finishing, they made their way home.

The next day the first woman's husband phones the other husband and said, "These damn girls nights out have got to stop. My wife came home last night without her panties." "That's nothing," said the other. "Mine came back with a sympathy card stuck between the cheeks of her butt that said, 'From all of us at the Fire Station, Well never forget you!'

LOL Littlered!

Well, I'm still practicing my culinary skills in the kitchen. Trying to stick with superfoods, but giving in a little here and there for hubby.

This weeks dinners:

Spaghetti Pie
Sweet Potato Tacos
Tuna pasta salad
Lentil Loaf
lasagna type dish with WW pasta

I also wanted to report....

I had a post partum doctor's appt (kinda late since my baby is 3 months old) and they weighed me. I am only 15 pounds away from my pre-preg weight after gaining 80. I was really hoping for a ribbon or a pat on the back, but <sigh> no recognition at all. The kindergartner in me wanted to go home with a gold star. LOL

littlered - love the jokes.

edzard - Congrats on the 5 pound loss!! That's awesome. :cb:

Vacation is hard. It's so much harder to keep track of what I'm eating and how many calories I'm consuming when we're always out doing something or out eating something. I've got my fingers crossed.

I'm watching old episodes of Biggest Loser right now. I love this show. This is the short version that was two "teams" against each other and only lasts 2 episodes and they win $50,000.

Have a great night everyone! :D

We had a BBQ at work today, so I had a large lunch and a light dinner. It worked well, I think. I brought potato salad, a veggie dog to throw on the grill, and a whole wheat bun. There was plenty of fruit and pickles too (but not together :D.) I even had a beer. Yes, I know it's weird that we had beer at a work function during the work day. When you work in the wine industry, well, stranger things have happened.

Littlered~ :rofl:

Coolmom~ Here you go. There aren't any gold star smilies, so here's a dancing banana! :cb: Getting 15lbs away from your pre-preg weight in 3 months is amazing!

AnnaA~ I had a digital scale that gave me grief too. It would come up with a different number every time I stepped on it (even when I had just stepped on it.) So I got rid of it and bought an analog scale (sometimes old school works better for me.) I love my newer scale and now I don't have the frustration that I had with the other scale.

edzard~ :woohoo: on the 5lbs lost!

Grammy~ A co-worker showed me an interesting mouse trap today (we have a problem at work with them. Ick!) This trap was the snap kind, but it was covered (with a hole for the mouse to go in.) So you don't have to look at the mouse and there's a lever to empty it. You don't have to touch the trap to empty it. I thought it was a neat idea and it looked heavy duty.

I went and saw Evan Almighty today. It was okay, but nothing special in my opinion. Wanda Sykes is hilarious though! :rofl:

I really just prefer watching stuff off our DVR here at home. HA! Has anyone been watching "Traveler"? That is one of the BEST shows on this summer! I love it. So thrilling and everything.

I've been looking at these fake iPod Shuffles on eBay. I wonder if they work...

Lara ~ :rofl: That story was hilarious! Tongue piercing? Eh, not for me!! I want an itty bitty ball in my nose too, nothing big. I noticed you seem to love horses, I'm sorry you had to give yours up. I've NEVER ridden a horse, EVER I don't know why, I just never had. We had a dog but we had to give him up because he kept trying to eat our little dog. (He was huge!)

Meg ~ That's so cool! I really want mine done. BTW : I go for the lean cuisines and smart choice things by weight watchers. I didn't know you were 17! Me too. :)

Natalia ~ Congrats on the weight loss, I bet you'll be at 20lbs in no time!

Tinky ~ I love the smiling picture too. So cute!

Anne ~ I'm sure you'll get that pound off soon. AND MORE! :hug:

NurseChef ~ I know what you mean about 300lbs. I really was scared of getting to that myself. I'm way too young for that kind of weight. Thing is, apparently I don't look my weight. Or at least that's what I've been told, but I don't think so.

edzard ~ A friend of mine had a terrible kidney infection and was out of school for like 3 weeks, and she can no longer have caffeine. (She drank a power drink called "Monster" all the time!

littlered ~ :rofl2: Those are so funny! I love stories like that, but I never seem to get them in e-mails anymore.

Crafty Mommy ~ I know exactly what you mean, I went on vacation a couple of weeks ago. I like ate everything. Luckily I've lost the weight I gained! :carrot:

Coolmom ~ Congrats on the weight loss, you're doing great! :hug:

I'm gonna go watch a show! TTYL! Bye!

Coolmom-keep up the weight loss, iv'e never had to get rid of baby weight,but sounds like your doing a great job

Littlered-thanks for the jokes i came on here to read because i dint wanna start eating and the jokes helped (gave me something to do)

craftymom-i love the biggest losers too!! Right now im watching celebrity fit club though, have you ever watched it? I love these kinds of shows it helps me get motivation

Charlene- i wanted to see that movie.......that sucks it wasn;t that good. Whats traveler about? I've never heard of it...o and if your looking for an mp3 i personally dont think it matteres what kind you get i bought one at walmart for like $40 and i love it i take it walking wtih me all the time it really helps.

Everyone sounds like there doing a great job......Anyone know of any excersises other than walking that are easy to do???? i usually just walk for an hour a night and its getting a little boring. Well I'm gonna go for tonight ttyl

Thanks for the pats on the back! :D

speaking of movies, I went to see Knocked Up...laughed my butt off! Such a funny movie.

Good Morning,

Zoe,
I have to tell you…that loosing that much weight in 3 months is beyond words. :congrat:


I also wanted to see Knocked Up. Thanks for the reviews.
We need to too sharing our reviews. It is better than the reviews on tv.

What is a sweet potato taco?
I love both foods. but I have never thought about mixing them.


Zenor,
That must have been one of the most fun BBQ’S around. Your healthy food and a little extra refreshments. I can say…I have never seen beer at a company picnic. At least not in the open. ;)

Charlene
I have been wanting to see that movie. Would you advise to wait for the dvd to come out?
I agree about Wanda S. She is too funny.
I did watch the Traveler once. It just did not keep my attention.

I was bad yesterday. I ate cheesecake! :fr:
At work they had a cheese cake with Leftover’s.
you Don’t dare tell the patients. If one gets a 2nd piece…and there was only about 8 pc. extra.
This was my first pc. of Cheese cake since March 1st.
AND MY HEAD DID NOT EXPLODE! And the world is still here. ;)

Wow! When I got on the scale today…back to 161.
I am just bouncing all over the place.

Theresa I started loosing weight on Jan 1 2007. I want to be at goal by August 15, when we go to the races at MIS. At first I didn't think that I would make it. But now I am kinda thinking that I will...Hopefully.

Well we have the Parade today. She didn't win the princess thing so she don't have to ride the float. But we are going to watch the parade. They can't go on any more rides either. I bought them each 1 sheet of tickets before the fair when they were "Cheaper" and told them that's all I could spend. Because of those being 15 a piece I didn't think that the rides would have to take so many tickets, but no they all took at least 3 tickets if not 4. They had a great time, but were disappointed that they can't ride anymore rides. So the parade will be the last thing we do. Which I can say is fine with me, I have way too much stuff to do around here.
Well gotta get going.
Mary

Good morning and I hope all is well with you. I haven't been on for along time so my handle is abigi7 or my name is really Kate. I have to lose 130 and am on a 1500 calorie diet. I try to stay on whole wheat products along with fresh foods to. I have tried alot of diets especially low carb and that doesn't seem to work for me so here I go again with calories and WW. I do Weight Wtachers on my on for I am on a set income and can't afford to go to meetings. I will give you all my support and hope you give me yours.
Have a great and wonderfull week end and talk to you tomorrow.

Hi Kate, This is a great place for support and encouragement. Welcome back!

What do you guys think of this mp3 player on eBay. It's kind of a total rip off of an iPod Shuffle but half the price and double the space. Your opinions? The guy has good feedback and all, but I'm still unsure.

iPod Shuffle - Kinda

Meg ~ It was okay, and it was kinda funny, it's just not as funny as I thought it would be. One of my friends thought it was like the best movie ever! IDK though. It was only rated PG, so...

CoolMom ~ I really wanna see that movie, it looks hilarious!

littlered ~ Like I said, it was okay, but I personally would wait. Especially with the price of movie tickets, a lot of my friends are gonna wait until it goes over to the 99 cents theater. (Yeah, we actually have a 99 cents theater.)

Kate ~ :welcome3: Good luck!

Gotta go eat lunch, I'm starving! Bye!
