Hey girls - Not much to report on this end. Just got back from walking the mall... a good hour of exercise there... and I'm TIRED! :yawn:

Just a reminder - Week 4 weigh ins are due TOMORROW!!!!

Mel~pictures, pictures, pictures!!!! We want to see the new dolled up you!

Purple~Thank you. Still feel like crap, I think it might be starting to break up. I have to babysit tomorrow. The kids have a half day of school. I need to feel better.

Eny~thanks for the reminder. I am used to Monday weigh ins. I am off schedule for a creature of habit.

Catch ya all later. Pat

Dixie...I will post pics tomorrow after I get my nails done....

Maybe I need to work more on developing things I enjoy, so I can get some of that prompt satisfaction and pleasure, instead of eating.

pics so far
 

Okay so here are some pics of the new hair color and the eyebrow job...LOL!

I will post more tomorrow after I get my nails done..

I feel really good...I like it and my hubby does too! He can't keep his hands off me...LOL! :carrot: :D :carrot:

Melissa, you look gorgeous!! You have the biggest prettiest "doe" eyes... I hope I said that right. I love your hair too, it looks like magazine hair... is it usually that shiny or did you use something I can try?? My hair always looks like a haystack *lol*. Your brows and eye makeup look nice too... the shadow is all sparkly and cute! The color reminds me of the "brown eyes" set I got from ELF.

Go you!! Way to woo your hubby with your womanly wiles ;)

EDITED to add: Hey, your daughter is a cutie, and she looks like she sits 'bout as still for a photo op as my 3 year old son does. I have to keep my digital camera on the steady-hand setting because he always ends up with body parts (arms, legs) ablur.

i am feeling really nauseated and my pc with stupid vista is forcing me to restart in 3 minutes. so i will get caught up sometime soon. dont think i will make the 2 lbs:( DH off for 3 days. wont be on but to weigh in. have a great weekend!

THANKS :hug: I feel lgorgeous. My husband always compliments me on my eyes. I use absolutely NO products on my hair. I think maybe that is what keeps it so healthy. AND trim the dead stuff off every 6-8 weeks. I colored and conditioned my hair and then blow dryed it and either flat iron it OR use a really big curling iron to give it body and smooth it out.

The make up came from wal-mart......I'm a wal-mart queen!

And you pinned my daughter right! She didn't want to sit still.....LOL!

My weigh in tomorrow is not going to go well and I'm not looking forward to what the scale is going to show. Hope you all will do better.

Hi girls! Ive been MIA for the past few days. PMS is wrecking havoc on my week. One good thing is I got some free proactiv and im sooo excited. Ive been wanting some forever but was afraid to pay the price and I did the system tonight and my face is soooo smooth.

Melissa- I like the new hair! Its nice and shiny, I wanna touch it, lol. Your eyes look purdy too! Whoo whoo! I think im cutting my hair off again. Its pointless to have long hair when I wear it in a pony tail everyday because I work around food and have to. I NEVER do it unless im going out which is rare or when im in TN. I will actually have to do my hair if its short again. I feel better when its short too. Not too short though, just under my chin maybe. Im gonna have me a pamper day before las vegs except I wont be getting my nails done , ill have to do them myself. Let me see them nails when you get them done.

I forgot to add, my grandma is suppose to be going the lung dr tommorow to find out if she has cancer. I would love for your girls to pray for her. Im not a religious person but she asked for prayers so im gonna do it. I think thats one thing thats been wrecking my week. Im so worried about her. We are very close and I used to live with her for years, thats why I keep talking about it.

I totally forgot about weigh in. I gotta remember to do that tommorow before work.

Eny- I went to the mall today too! I guess that is some exercise ,lol.

Hi everyone, I didn't make the 2 lb challenge (prolly cause I didn't start til Monday) but I did loose another 1.5 lb this week. :)

So I've got to report in on my 3 goals from Melissa's challenge:
1. <1600 cal. -- once I started I completed Mon-Thurs
2. >8 glasses H20 -- yeppers
3. 6 hours cardio -- I got 5 in this week

Good Morning Ladies,

Yeah, I took my daughter to her last music audition yesterday. She said it was her best and the prof accepted her on the spot. Unfortunately, it is not the school she wants to attend. I am relieved to be done with the process though. In about a week we should know if she will be receiving any music scholarships and it will be time to decide.

DS2 was in a car accident yesterday. He may have totalled our 2005 Camry with only 50,000 miles on it. I just made the final payment on it last Monday. Waah. Thankfully he is okay. I am so thankful for seatbelts and airbags. When he realized he pulled into the path of a car he tried to get out of her way and ended up hitting her head-on instead of being T-boned. A rather strange manuever but if he had been T-boned I don't think he would have walked away unscathed.

I am thankful to at least be maintaining these days. It is just too difficult to focus on changing my bad eating habits with everything that is going on right now. I am not eating crazy but at the same time I am not trying especially hard to eat the right things. I keep bringing home snacks from the grocery store just because they are on sale!

Tonight we attend my daughter's festival concert, tomorrow is her prom (picture party for parents) and Sunday we have to go to her boyfriend's Eagle Court of Honor (Boy Scouts). Just what am I going to do for a social life next year when she is in college?!

Good Luck with the weekly weigh in results. Who is going to win?????

Don't you DARE cut your hair....it is absolutely beautiful! And besides...when you aren't at work you can fix it....I hate having short hair...makes me feel even fatter...


1.5 pounds is AWESOME!!!!!! :bravo:





I started the week at 244 and I'm ending it at 241.3 so that is a little over 2 I think its like 2.7....so yay almost 3 pounds!

I lost 3 pds the week before last, I gained 5 pds last week and I only lost 1 pd this week. This all doesnt make since. I know I did bad this week but I thought atleast I would have lost more than a pound of that 5 I gained last week. Hmm...I guess im retaining water because its about time for TOM. Oh well any lost is better than a gain.

Terapet- Glad your son is ok.
