Lindy - Don't be hard on yourself about the pizza and strawberry cakes - I'm glad you enjoyed them and then went forward . I am sorry about your friend. That has been a hard lesson in my life, because every 'best-friend' or good friend I had has stabbed me in the back, or disregarded our friendship, putting their needs first. I am not perfect, but I can say I was there when they needed me. Anway, I hope she rethinks her actions and realizes what she did. I hope you have a blast tonight and I know you will look gorgeous!

Dance - Thank you for the kudo's, and when your hiking those beautiful Colorado Mountains, think of me! I wish, I wish, I wish. Many do wall walking here, but it is because of the dreaded heat and rain........LOL. I wish we had the 'cold' problem! LOL......I love the cold!

Tiff - Wow, I have missed you, but know you have alot going on now. I am so happy for you and know your wedding will be gorgeous. Send pic's when you can!

Ok, I didn't get much of a workout in yesterday and today is much of the same........dang it. I will try later to get some crunches and leg lifts in. I waited too late to go outside to day before the heat took over. My eating is really good, except I am still fighting the evening demons. For some reason around 11pm I get hungry. I tried last night to just go to sleep and **** that didn't work I tossed and turned until 3am! So, needless to say I ate a sandwhich. I guess because I did good all day I didn't gain and was down .6 of a pound. Thank goodness! Hopefully today I can be stronger......pray!!!!!

mygrits - I so hear you on the late night munchies! Luckily, whatever was making me craving crazy earlier this week has gone and this is my second day of being normal again - 1180 cal so far today and I'm full still. Plenty of calories left for some cherries if I need a snack. Hope tonight your cravings mysteriously disappear as mine did. I have a sneaking suspicion that it all has to do with exercise for me - if I'm physically worn out from tons of exercise, no cravings. Curious if you find the same thing...

Morning, girls! Happy Friday! Down another pound today for a grand total of 20lbs - pretty excited to add another dancing carrot to my sig : ) Hoping it's a good news day all around....

Dance! How awesome are you! Who's a rockstar?! YOUR A ROCKSTAR!!! Lol. 20 lbs is quite an accomplishment.

Mygrits - sorry you battling "hungry" in the late night hours. I usually try to sleep off my hunger but sometimes, thats just not possible. And I totally hear ya on the summer heat in Florida. I WILL NOT exercise outside right now, I might die of exhaustion if I do (ok, being a little extreme but you get my point).

I did so well yesterday. I was hoping to hop on the scale this morning and see a number drop because I actually stayed at 1200 for the day and dont feel bloated at all and TOM is gone (FINALLY) but I forgot to get on and now Im at work and its too late. I doubt Ill weigh tomorrow because Im going out for drinks tonight and well, the scale is not too friendly after a late night out. Ill wait till the weekly weigh in on Sunday. On another positive note, I feel so pretty today. Ya know how you have those days where everything goes perfect, well...perfect hair, perfect makeup, perfect outfit...Im a very happy camper. And it couldnt come on a better day, I meeting up for a girls night out tonight. Woo-hoo.

Ok, gotta go into some meetings today, Ill try to log on later.

Good luck today girls - I know you will all do awesome.

Hello Chicks!

Dance - Woo Hoo! Awesome! 20 lbs is a HUGE accomplishment!! I know you feel great today, as you should. Late night munchies - ugh, again last night, but I am being really careful on what I munch on. I have been good to stick to a half of a sandwhich or something light to allow me to fall asleep. Workouts do help Dance, as it calms my hunger down for some reason.

Lindy - Don't you just hate it when you forget to weigh and then have to wait? That does tick me off......LOL. I'm glad your feeling better and hope you have a ton of fun tonight! Don't let those guys flirt to much with you! LOL........

I finally got my workout in outside today - and oh my gosh was it ever hot!! Whewwwwwww. I was happy this morning being down again .4 lbs., so I think that makes is 3 lbs this week?? Something like that. I still need to lose a few more to put me where I should have been two weeks ago - atleast according to my calendar. Anyway, I am happy that atleast things are going forward! I hope everyone's Friday is awesome - ITS THE WEEKEND! YEAH!

mygrits - 3lbs down this week? That's great! What a nice way to head into the weekend!

Woo-hoo for 3 lbs with Mygrits! Wow, everyone is doing so well lately, it is so inspiring. KUDOS!!! Its been a crazy busy day. I had lunch with my old boss and an old co-worker (who are both guys, but JUST FRIENDS) and man did they make me feel good. They are both 2 very handsome, successful businessmen and complimented me the whole time at lunch, over...and over...and over, lol. It was great. I mean, they didnt cross the line in anyway and we have such a good friendship (both of them), that I wouldnt ever want to ruin that (not saying they do...just saying), but it was still a huge confidence booster. I feel like Im on top of the world today, its amazing. NOW - I know everyday is not like this, so Im living in the moment.

Mygrits - lol, your so funny. Dont worry, I wont be meeting any guys tonight in that way. I actually have a rule, if I meet you in a place that I would not normally go (i.e.: the bar or gun range or something like that), I will not even give out my number. That has been my rule since I was a young teenager. Why is this my rule? Because if you were my BF, I would not want you hanging out at a bar, at all, ever, so Im not going to date a guy that enjoys that because then it just means that I am bossy and condesending and Im not that girl. I know it sounds kinda hypocritical but oh well...furthermore, Im not ready to date. Me and my hubby are still debating on some things. Whew...that was a long blab of crap for nothing, lol.

Ok, Ill check in tomorrow. I have nothing on my agenda. Have a great weekend!

Dance & Lindy - You both are so sweet, and awesome, and just great - thank you. Atleast I'm going in the right direction! LOL......

Lindy - Very good rule to have, and I wish I would have adopted it years ago when I made some really stupid mistakes with guys I did meat in bars.....ugh, but we won't go there! LOL....I like your rule, very smart on your part. I also like your ex-boss and co-worker! What awesome men friends. There the best!

I had my final fitting tonight for my dress and it fit perfect! I think I could still lose 5 lbs before the wedding and still have it fit great and I am certainly trying to do it!

I am going to try my absolute hardest to make it on here on Sunday so that I can weigh-in since I'm FINALLY going in the right direction again.

I also got my wedding ring tonight and it is ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS. I am in love with it! lol. I can't wait to wear it!

Dancer and Sandy...you two are on fire with the weight loss lately!!!! Dancer...20 lbs when you are that close to goal probably makes SUCH a big difference! (You are close to goal in my eyes when you have at least the same first digit as your goal weight).

OK girls I am off to bed. Gonna try to get up early tomorrow
(early for me anyways) and be productive tomorrow!

Morning ladies...

So last night was a...uh....errrr...interesting? night. Yes, we will use the word interestng. Lol. I woke up this morning with a very interesting perspective on things. Dont get me wrong, I had a BLAST last night but when I woke up this morning, I realized that I like being a homebody 10x more. I realized that last weekend I stayed in and watched movies and ate jelly beans and loved it. Last night, I drank...a lot and felt so blah...so empty this morning. I know its weird, because I know you guys go out with your friends but you have to remember, I NEVER go out with my friends. In fact, I have gone out more times in the past 6 months than I have in the past 6 years! I guess I was looking for my independence, idk but anyhow, Im ready to stay home for quite some time. No more girls nights out for me for a LONG time.

Anyhow, I was mildly feeling nauseated this morning so I had to run out and put something in my belly because frankly, the thought of cooking was not on my radar. I went out and got a large pepsi and egg mcmuffin. Im ok with that though, really...Im pretty sure I will be sleeping the whole day (by the pool), so Im not too concerned about overeating.

Tiff- yay on the dress! Oh, I cant wait to see you in your wedding dress.

Ok, I will weigh in tomorrow and post some pics from last night.

Lindy..I'm with you...I'm past the partying stage of my life. I haven't drank a drink since New Years and certainly don't miss it. I'd much rather hang out at home with good friends or just my fiance and I. Love the pictures! You look great!

I'm home alone today, so I am going to go lay out in the back yard and get some sun and get rid of this triangle on my back.

Ok, I am behind so if some of these responses are to old posts, sorry.

Lindy-Big Brother, me and Chris are addicted, we watch it on showtime too. Glad things are ok with you and your mom. Did you get your hair fixed? Its so nice to get compliments from friends, glad you were having such a good day. I am the same way, Chris and I dont really ever go out to bars. We might have a bonfire and have friends and family come over, but we are just not the type to go out often. We like being home.

Maddiesmom-you are doing so good. Almost to 30 lbs lost.

Sandy-nighttime cravings are the worst. Hope they subside for you soon. 3 lbs down, you rock!!! I need to start working out more. I am doing good in the food dept.

Tiff-its exciting when you wedding gets so close, cant wait to see pics of you in your dress and the ring. Get rid of that triangle before the wedding.

Dance-your hikes sound nice, its been nothing but storms here lately, cant be outside much. Plus everything in my garden is turning yellow

Ok, so I got on the scale this morning, after I ate and TOM is here and I was at 222. I am ok with that. Hopefully tomorrow will be 221 or 220. I am fine with maintaining but I have to get on the ball and start losing again. I am going to New York next month to surprise my best friend on her birthday. I havent seen her in 7 years since my wedding in May 2002. I am super excited, but want to get rid of a few lbs before I go. You girls gotta help keep me on track. I plan to indulge tomorrow, we are going to a pow wow(my husband is native american) and I want an indian taco. But after that I am going to stay on plan, stay on plan, stay on plan!!!!!! Ok girls, I am talking to my sister in NZ, so I will weigh in tomorrow. Night

Morning ladies...dont have a lot of time, I have to run some errands but...woo-woot, I am down 1 more pound, which means I am at a total of 35 pouns and I get to add an exercise smiley, lol.

YAY!

Well just as I thought today. I am at 222, but TOM is here, so I am hoping to be down next week. I have 27 days til I go to NY. Gotta get on with it.

Hi Ladies,
Back from vacation...I don't think I did too bad, but realized that restaurant food is salty! LOL. I haven't eaten out so much in my entire life! Couldn't wait to get home and eat something I made myself. I'm up 2 pounds, not too bad, but I know most of it is water weight. Will have to work out at the gym extra hard this week to make up for it. So, I'm 248...not changing my ticker, I know it will go back down in a couple days.

Just wanted to weigh in, as promised. Have a great night!
