I figure, half the people who see me workout are bigger and more out of shape and the other half are smaller than I am but still more out of shape. Ha, ha. That leaves no room for anyone who is in better shape than I am. Actually, most people who make comments are very encouraging and I wouldn't/don't pay any attention to discouraging or nasty remarks because they usually come from people who should be out there with me. Anyway those kinds of people are always on someone's back about something and soon go on to torment someone else. I'm not that confident I'm BRAZEN!!!

Do you know my children complain about folding towels. TOWELS. I tell them that folding towels is the job everyone gives to the blind, deaf, DEAD person in the family that really wants to be part of the family and help out lol.

That bending over and stooping and twisting can really get to you can't it lol.

good weigh in today..its a day early but im taking it as my weigh day..-1.8 so im 234.8. We are going wedding dress shopping today with my daughter and i want to be able to relax and enjoy my night without worrying about my weigh in tommorow.I do still plan to be careful about what i eat,,,but know i will be eating much later than normal for me.

That's great dgramie--almost 2 pounds. Actually my scales are in .5 graduations so that would be 2 pounds on my scales. And, yes you're so right about being careful even though you've weighed in. Remember after you get the blushing bride all fitted out you have to find something ravishingly beautiful for the mother-of-the-bride. Have any ideas yet on what you'd like to wear?

Go you! Have fun shopping with your daughter. Wedding dress shopping, just about the best kind of all. *sigh* I am a sappy sap. I love weddings.


I had a great day, yesterday. On track, got my exercise and drank enough water. So, I'm happy.

I think I may weigh in on Monday, this time around. I'll see how I feel about it, come Sunday.

I hope that you are all having a terrific, on track day. Hugs for anyone who might be needing or wanting one.

Later, gators.

Good morning ladies-
I've been OP all week, weighed in this morning at 123.5, down (1.3) from when I started maintenance. I'm feeling pretty good today.

Retire - LOL...

Dgramie - congrats on the loss! Have a great time shopping for the wedding dress, and you absolutely have to look for a great mother of the bride dress!

Rain - good job being OP yesterday!

Shy - I used to complain to my mom about having to fold towels... she inevitably made me do something worse every time I complained about them, like vacuum... I really hated that...

Have a great day everyone!

Shannon, down 1.3! Yay! You!

When I was growing up, in addition to helping with all the household chores, washing dishes was my own "special" chore. And we had no dishwasher and a big family. Oh, how I hated washing dishes. Still do! But now, my husband and son help with the dishes, so it isn't so bad. I would kill for a dishwasher, tho.

Well, now, don't kill for a dishwasher. Make that you're special treat when you get to goal. Maybe you could put a dollar or two away for every pound lost and then when you're at goal you'll have the money or most of it for a dishwasher.

Hello everyone....

I thought i would check in today, i haven't gotten to read all the post i wanted to say congrats to every1 that has stayed OP. For those that haven't My favorite motto is now ....Tomorrow is another day!

I have lost 1 lb last wek, and i have been OP so far so good this week. I my weakest day was yesterday, where i di not eat too well, i do blame it on TOM symptoms. I feel so bloated.

Hope all is well with every1 though.

hi everyone,
thanks for the congrats on the loss..
I am not even thinking of looking for a dress for myself till after christmas ..I still want to lose another 30lbs before the wedding.
i will let you know how it goes tommorow...have a wonderful weekend everyone

dgramie, I'm hearing you on that one. You'll be one chic mama.

dgramie, waiting until after Christmas for your dress makes perfect sense! Maximize your hotness for the wedding!

Alas... I live in a rental. Landlord made some lovely rumblings about installing one, once. But never followed through.

Yeah... What she said.


I am doing well, today. And I seem to be posting like a madwoman, too. On track and got 50 minutes of cardio done, too. I doubt I'll get to exercise this weekend. It is almost impossible to carve out the privacy I need for an hour on the weekends, in this house. *sigh*

Ah, too bad about the dishwasher. I guess you'll have to put pressure on the landlord.
