Still ~ I hear on winning the lotto but I don't think I want to be rich, to much responsibility. I would rather just be wealthy. LOL! Rich people have people crawling out of the wood work asking for money but you can hide wealth a little.

I learned to say no to my mooching relatives long ago. Doesn't matter if I had one dollar or 20 million I would still say no lol.

Still
If I had the money the one thing I would do would be to put the cousins back where they belong lol.

Is the very reason I go to good will. Clothes are cheap there. It can be very expensive if we buy new clothes for every size we get into. I have a to do list everyday ( so does everyone else in the house ) and I do not sleep until everything on the list is done. This cleaning is special. It includes scrubbing walls and ceilings and things like cleaning out the crawl space. Things that only get done once a year. We are also remodeling the down stairs 1/2 bath.

Sorry things have been so rough for you. I too understand about wanting to be where I should have been before I started taking the meads. We just can't think that way. We will make our selfs crazy. All we can do is stay on track and the weight will come off.

I will have everything done and my hair and nails done by next Friday morning. I will be gone for three days. You know what my house is going to be like when I get home Sunday night lol. It won't be bad, the kids aren't that bad BUT it will not be in the shape I left it. Company gets here Tuesday afternoon ( the 8th ). That means I will have Sunday after I get home and Monday to have everything done again lol. I gave myself this month to not exercise like I was so I had plenty of time to get everything done. I told myself starting the 7th I have to start to exercise back on schedule. I have a feeling the 7th is going to be a very busy day trying to get all the exercise in and get everything caught up lol.

That is what I am talking about SHY...putting the "girls" back! Gravity is a PAIN especially when your dealing with gaining/losing weight...

Agreed! One thing I hate is that you can't pick where the weight comes from... sometimes it comes off in places where you want it to stay, and it stays in places where you want it to come off. Let's just say my chesticles are shrinking, and I'm left feeling a little deflated. When I get to my goal weight I think I'm going to have to... you know, replace the lost volume.

I wish mine would go away. In 52 pounds I have gone from a 42 to 39. Bra size is from a 42 d to a 38 d. I am lucky I have most of my bras hand made for me so they fit nicely. I can't find store bought bras that really fit nice. I only buy the sexy bras lol. I only started out at a 34 B lol. They just won't go away. When are the darn things going to leave? Everyone complains that is the first place they lose weight. I am losing all over pretty evenly and I wish they would just go lol.

Shy- who makes your Bra's? Maybe I need to check into something like that. I have fluxuated from a 44DD to a 36C to a 38DD to a 36DDD

My poor "girls" do not know where they belong anymore. And they are heavy so they are droopy

From my first training bra they were hand made for me. The lady that made them retired and now her daughter makes them. She is getting older now and only has about a dozen of her old customers that she makes them for. I have no idea what I am going to do when she just can't do it anymore.

Hello all!
Bras really are a pain, aren't they? I find one that I like, and then after I buy several of that type, I don't like them anymore.

My niece's wedding was very nice. My hubby became ill on the way, so we turned around, brought him back home, and then I went on my own. I didn't do bad with all of the food, and I used up lots of calories on the dance floor! What fun!!! My left knee and ankle are paying for it though.

I have class in the morning, so I'm still sticking with it. Need to pay more attention to the calories. I think I will be lowering the number for several days.

Good morning, all!

I've been away from calorie counting and the gym for a year which led to a ten-pound gain. Amazing how quickly you can get out of your groove.

So I'm back to this, looking for the 119-pound mark and all the joys it has to offer.

I'll post my calories tonight. Doing so makes me accountable and it's actually quite fun.

Have a good day, ladies!

Tammy-I am sorry about DH not feeling well. That sux! I hear ya about dancing then the ankle/knee paying for it the next day...that is how I am too.

I am ok today...just got to work and thought I would catch up. I have to drive to my DR tonight for my appointment tomorrow (5 hour drive). I get my splint off and get my regular cast on (WOOHOO). I am excited, my leg itched SO bad last night. I think it is the stiches, they are surely ready to come OUT!!!!

Still and Shy ~ My doctor already told me that if my girls are not smaller after I lose the all the weight then something has to be done about it. He feels that they are causing posture problems and eventually back problems that can be prevented with them being made a normal size.

I am still a DD. The size around keeps getting smaller but not the cup. I hope mine do what Tinky's do and shrink at least into a D.

Tinky ~ Amazingly with this program I stay on plan all week and then the weekends I end up playing at least one meal which can be a disaster. That is one reason I don't weigh in on Monday's. I give my system a day to normalize as much as possible after the weekend. I remember you have your big day coming up and I would be in a panic trying to get as small as I could before the date just like you are. For me, I am just sick of being overweight. I am 40 years old and have had a weight problem since I was 12, before that age I was to thin. I am just tired of fighting it and its time that it just happens.

Still ~ You are healing amazingly fast. Good to hear they are switching casts already and its nice to see a face with the name. You are beautiful!

Diva ~ WELCOME BACK! You always lose so fast when you get determined to get it off.

Well I better get going. I just finally got a little break here at work. Monday, I think that says it all.
