Way to go Cassi

Screw the no sclae challenge. I'm down another .8!

Yeah Kim.......but GO BEARS!!!!!

Megan -- too funny about the Super Bowl menu ideas being pushed on you. That sounds like a classic case of the COD not listening to the customer. Oh well, you handled yourself quite well. Now, go read Cassi's post for MORE Super Bowl menu ideas!! LOL

Syracuse - we do have a JCPenney's and I usually do really well there with their clothes.....may have to find time to check it out.

Good job, Cassi & Kim #2!!! And Cassi, I'm having a hard time with the no sclae challenge, too. I mean, I know I had to WI today for the TBL thing, but I'll TRY to go all weekend without peeking. Maybe I'll put the scale in my daughter's room or something. As messy as her room gets, it'll be a month before I find it again!

[Wendelina]

Evette - I ate your pizza for you and then gained a lb. I think this may be construed as "taking one for the team"..

Cassi - Oh go girl! Yay for downward movement! Loved your Superbowl ideas on the other thread.. you're so clever!

Wendy - Hi.. my name is Wendy.. and I'm a Losers & Friends addict...
(Hi Wendy!!!)

Ok.. so after wondering WTF after gaining at WI this morning.. I then realized that I made a major boo-boo this week! I had pizza twice!! Dag nab it anyway..

The question may not be who's planning on staying POP this weekend... but rather who's planning on doing an emergency TO on Monday??

[bizlawchik]

WendyII, you're so sweet! (And pretty funny too. The the COD crack whore made me laugh so loud at the office!)

Paula - It's actually made it to 90 here today! It's windy as all heck (20+ mph), I'm gonna have to stuff 3yo DS' pockets w/quarters to weigh him down when I pick him up from daycare. Glad you got through the frontal band unscathed.

Joni - I'm glad you're back posting. I missed you.

Katie - How's it going in childcare land today?

Evette - I think the fact that you missed your pizza means you need some on Sunday.

[Barb316]

Well, I see we are a busy little group here. It is day 2 and we are on page 10. I am going to catch up here.......

Cassi: WTG on crossing your legs what a NSV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Katie: I would go to Kate's Just desserts!! YUMM!

WendyII: It is such a nice feeling when all of a sudden you realize that you are losing when you have to use a belt to hold up your pants or you realize you can pull your jeans down without unzipping them.... WTG!!!!!!!!!! Good luck on WI!

Joni and Kim: I sit at my chair with my leg under by butt all the time at work and I have had my leg go numb on numerous occasions...

Joni: I have gotten some really good deals at thrift stores. Sometimes they are BRAND NEW!!!! I know Target donates their clearance stuff that does not sell to Goodwill so alot of the things are brand new. How is the pup???????????

Lizzy: WTG.. It is so great that you and Dan are doing this together!!!!!

Julie: My prayers are with you that they straighten this out in time!!!

Alannah: My recommitment went out the window this week, I am hoping to jump back tomorrow! WE CAN DO THIS!


Jennifer: My friends have a trampoline in their backyard and he uses it as a workout alot! It is amazing how many things we can do that are considered workouts!

Kate: I am sorry about your loss of your coworker!

Wendy: I hate when I do stuff like that. I plan out my meals for the next day for work and pack them up and forget it! I then end up starving also!!

Dan: sounds like u have your day planned for the Super Bowl! Good luck and have FUN!

Pearl: It sounds like you still like your job. I am sure even though it was busy you are having fun!!!

Nicole: I have 1 more car payment left, it is such a good feeling to not have a car payment!!!

Makena: YOU CAN DO THIS T/O!!!!!!!

Megan: It sounds like she was a robot and it was programmed into her that she had to give those statements regardless of what you said....

Sherry: Let us know how you like the recipes you are trying!

If I missed you I am sorry!!!!!!!!

Congrats to all the losers!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, my recommittment went out the window.... I will try again tomorrow. Am I putting pressure on myself? Yes!! Should I put pressure on myself??? NO!! Why am I putting pressure on myself??? Because I am a bride in 3 1/2 months and I HAVE to fit into this dress! I have considered doing something different but I dont want to waste the $ I put into LAWL! I went to the COD yesterday and honestly did not look at the scale. I didnt even ask how bad it was. I was so ANGRY with myself. She asked me how she can help and I told her I did not know! She was very nice (surprising, I have never seen her before) but I dont know what she could have said to make me feel better!

Love to you all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cassi!!! Congrats again....WTG!

And sadly-I returned to old habits yesterday . . . .you know what I mean. I have to get that under control-it wasn't the first stressful moment of this process and it won't be the last. . .

I'm better today. Gee-I even frightened myself yesterday.

Oh, girlie.........Welcome to motherhood!!! They bring us great joy.......they bring us great worry.........they have a power over us like no other It is great that you have a friend who has been down this road already. And, yeah, like Kim said....vent all you need to. That is one of the best parts about girlfriends

Sorry, Nicole, but I had to know my post TO gain (and this is the first time it wasn't one), and then I have to know my Super Bowl gain. Maybe then I can stop my crack addiction!

You girls know.......I am so wanting to write an article and send it in to the newspaper about the no sclae challenge. It is very interesting Too bad I don't make time to do things like that........

[LizzyW]

Well, workout tonight, WI tomorrow. I hope I see some good results. I did miss a fruit the day before and 2 fruits yesterday plus a dairy. So results may not be that swift. I did have orange juice at like 1 o'clock this morning. Should I count that as todays fruit or yesterday's?

Anyway, I hope everyone had a POP day and have good results at next WI.
Liz

Barb - Thanks for asking about Charlie dog. I'll know more on Monday or Tuesday next week. In the meantime, he's fine....of course, we're giving him so much love and special attention and special treats that he's loving life!
I wish I could throw some magic dust on you to help you along. All I can offer you is that you just need to keep coming here for encouragement and support. Take this one meal at a time; something will click and you'll get past this mini slump. I need to get my butt in gear too.

[KrispieD]

Hello All
We are in windchill central here.. supposed to feel like -27 tomorrow! YUCK!
Was down .8 today so 1.8 for the week. Hoping for a nice drop next week, I'm due and need to get a few more off for my VDAY challenge! I'll start running laps around the kitchen as it's too cold outside!
We are going to a friends' restaurant for Superbowl so i'm going to be DD and hope to not have the one beer I had planned.. maybe a grilled chicken salad of some sort.. of course the best laid plans often go out the window when I get into a social scene.. maybe DH can tie me to the chair and stick an IV of hot lemon water in my arm!
Just about to get the girls off to bed but had to say a quick cheerio to the great gang!

[2bfit06]

Hey gang,

I know that I missed a lot today and I missed you all as well. I ended up leaving work a little early because I just didn't feel that great. I think I was just tired or something.

Eating has been going well. I purposely didn't weigh myself this AM after FF because I have to go in to the COD tomorrow. It's so cold here OMG! I really hope that it warms up soon, I can't take it. I know that I have to because I am not moving! LOL!

Have a great evening!

[Repo girl]

Ulanda- I have decided that those of us who live in cold weather are having a hard time losing right now because our bodies are thinking, "Duh dummy! It is really cold out there. I am not giving up my blubber, no way, no how!" With that being said, Pearl and Cassie, get the guest bedrooms ready, cause me and Ulanda are on our way!

Forgive me my chickies, for I have sinned. I ate 7 seven brownies at work today. I am totally, insanely out of control. Oh, I have food addiction issues! One of my employees told me that I always impress her with my self control as far as food goes, but today she was suprised to see me binge. Excuse: TOM. Real reason: Feeling crappy and grumpy and self medicating. Tomorrow I will be better. I MEAN IT!

[Mama Nicole]

Katie...........you crack me up, girl. I know eating 7 seven brownies is not so funny when you are the eater.....but the way you tell it just makes me laugh my a** off. Sorry I am such a jerk........it's just so funny........it's like taking a look in the mirror.......cuz, girl, when I do it, I do it WELL.....binging that is.......LOL. I liked your fake and real excuses as well. I do have a real excuse for craving sweets, and it is TOM, and it should be here tomorrow morning.......woooohoooo, lucky me. Oh well.....so the story goes. I hope your day goes better tomorrow.........I know it will.........and I am really crossing my fingers for the both of us. I'm soo darn b*****, and I just really feel that reeses peanut butter cups would help. Good thing it's too freakin cold to go out........it's 14 degrees.......and I live in ST. LOUIS!!! WTF???

Anyway......DH and I were going over our budget tonight (I know.....we really know how to have a rockin friday night), and I realized that we spent $1350 on GROCERIES last month. Yep, that is correct....from Jan 2 to Feb 2, almost an entire house payment of food. Isn't that insane? I realize we have a big family, but damn.....I'm going to have to start clipping coupons and shopping more sales I think. Just think, if we didn't have to eat, I could have that Mercedes Benz I have always wanted.....LOL. Anyway....it is ever so frightening when you actually start writing down where your $$$ is going.

Ok enough about me......CASSI.........WTG on yet another loss. Just out of curiosity......did you try to not look at the COD sclae, or did you just say FI? LOL. I think it is fab that you didn't have a post TO gain.......and it is about time......you deserve these good sclae victories.......I"m happy for you!!!

And........with that, I really need to get some beauty sleep......have a busy weekend ahead. I hope you all have a great weekend. Did you see that my boyfriend (well, one of them), Billy Joel is singing the National Anthem at the Superbowl? I could listen to that man sing forever

Good night all!!!
XOXO

[Mama Nicole]

p.s. HI PEARL!!!! XOXO

and Barb.........so good to see you back!!! Now, quit leaving us.....stick with it.........no more exuses you CAN do this XOXO
