Hey girls...I stayed on plan all day today. Im at 20 pts so far. Not really hungry for anything else though. Maybe a banana or something to get up to 22. My husband ate hardees earlier...that was hard to get through. Especially since I went to get it for him. Got through it though.

I'm not sure whats wrong with me today. I seem to be a bit out of it. I forgot to take my effexor the other day and that may be why. I just feel down. Not sad or anything. Kind of spaced out. Oh well, tomorrow is another day.

Jessica- You have an awesome attitude. Theres nothing you can do now anyway but get back on your plan and work at it.

Sara- I know what you mean. It's like I can go so long without fast food. Then, I have a few french fries or something and Im done for. Its awful. I need to learn how to control that! How is everything else with you? I will email you either tonight or first thing in the morning, ok?

I want to say thanks to everyone for your support. I'm not sure If I could've done this otherwise!

Ok chicks...I think Im going to go to bed soon. Its only 8:30 but Im out of it. I might post later if I cant sleep.



Love,
Deanne

hi vixens.. i'm so sorry I haven't been posting. I have so many stupid things here, keeping me from getting on the computer. Right now as I'm typing this we are having a major thunder storm with tornado warnings... ( and I'm at the comp... shheeesh)
The temp shot up to over 90 degrees which is too hot too soon. We aren't used to it!!

welcome sara, I'm a 41yo nurse, who at the moment is home. I have two girls 19 and one who just turned 16. We live in upstate NY in a very rural but fastly growing town. For fun... hmmm I eat...eat more LOL.. jk... we have a boat we use on the weekends and I do alot of gardening. I help my husband run two electrical business` that take alot of our time. My 19 year old just finished her first year of college and got over a bout of very bad mono. My 16yo just got her first boyfriend and we had the 'talk' sigh... I was just was changing her diapers!

Girls, I have not been on plan and I'm leaving for hawaii in a month and a few days. I'm a cow. I got on the scale this am and I'm back to 199. I could scream. My goal months ago was to be in the 160's and that won't happen. Because i'm so disgusted I keep eating. I did well at OA but haven't gone. Friday I'm joining weight watchers and I'm going to meetings... sigh.. I'm in such a funk today....
post latah, I promise

here is a pic of patrick and heather fri at his senior prom. pic of the car hubby bought that is putting me in debt...

wow these are blurry sorry.. they are so particular of the size.. sigh

It's been awhile since I've written... sorry. The weather has been getting really nice, so it's been perfect for motorcycle riding. I was just wondering -- are all of you on the Weight Watchers diet? Or do any of you do other ones, like the South Beach diet that I'm doing?

Deb

Deanne, you're welcome. It's fun to see that this could be quote material. The "inner brat" stuff isn't my creation, I can't even remember where I saw it, but I too felt that this was a very appropriate wording to describe it.

Now I'm going to check yoursite more thoroughly, I think

Hey girls...

Lynn- Is that a cadillac? I thought you said it was a Mercedes. Either way, they're both beautiful cars. I've gone to look at both of them. My husband and I go and look at different cars on the weekends. We love it.

Deb- Welcome back chick! I'm on weight watchers...as well as, Diane, Lynn, and Sara. What kind of bike to you have?

Kery-I just saw that you have lost 22 lbs. Wow, thats awesome! Good for you! What plan are you on again?

Ok, breakfast time for me. I think I'll eat Oatmeal. The strawberries & cream kind. 3 pts. Oh what a waste of points...but its SO good!

Post later...

Love,
Deanne

howdy vixens..
deanne I did say mercedes.... didn't I.. had a blonde moment, it is a cadi xlr... we looked at the mercedes, but this car came about. From what we were told they are hard to get, the dealer only gets one or two year.
To be honest, although it is nice, it is just a car. I drive a Kia sorento, a small suv. I don't see the difference until you put the top down!! I'll post more pics.. maybe they won't be so blurry...
It is gonna be a hot one here.... ouch.. I'm off for my walk...

Deb I'm doing weight watchers.. the points system

Heres another pic of the car and our pool which i'm jumping in later.. It is going to be over 90 today.. with alot of humidity.

wow lynn that car is awesome, i bet you look great in it. oh i wish i was going to hawaii, dont stress too much about not reaching your goal by hawaii, just think all that weight you have already loss is never coming back, you are doing so great, and your daughter is soo pretty.

Deanne, you sound like you are doing so good. yesterday i did pretty good, i didnt eat enough though, i was kind of in a bummed mood cause joe leaves today, and its another week without him. its almost like we have this long distance relationship. Yesterday i was looking at wedding dresses cause one of my freinds here at work just got engaged and i am kind of jealous, they have been together a year and a half. just really makes me want to get married, but i dont really bring it up to joe, cause he use to be pretty sensitive about it.

Hey Sara welcome, i am just counting calories, although i have slid back a little i am trying to ease my way back in. i am going to work out tonight, i just need to get back in the swing of things. i notice when i post more often i stay on track better, so i am trying to keep up with my post.

well ladies, have a awesome day, and let's keep to our goals, Nothing taste as good as feeling skinny. and i cant wait till i am.

Love
Jessica

Thank you Deanne In fact I forgot to update the ticker, it's a 24 pounds loss, but I've been really stagnating there in the past weeks, as I haven't been, err, very careful about what I was eating. I can only hope that when I do it seriously, my body will buy it, be properly tricked, and start dropping pounds at a good rate again

Alright, now the house is devoid of all cookies, chocolate cakes and other junky leftovers... this will make things easier

Okay, so it's not really, but sometimes I feel like it is. I used to eat a lot more, and I think my body was used to it an could compensate easily (except for the weight gain from all the calories.) Now when I eat very much sugar (mostly if it's more than one sitting, like a few days worth, like this weekend , it does weird things to my body. Besides making me just want more sugar and making healthy stuff sound less desirable, I get a lot of that "false fat" that kinda floats on top of everything else and makes you feel nasty, even if you haven't really gained any actual weight. (I checked!) Plus I think it throws some of my bacteria out of whack and bad things start happening. So I'm off sugar. I'm not going to eat any sugar for several weeks (well, except maybe one bowl of chocolate mousse before it goes bad...) and see how I feel. I'd like to keep it up after that. There really shouldn't be any excuse for me to eat sugar before my birthday on July 29th, right? I hope I can stay strong on this one! Oh, and I ate my points again yesterday (barely) after a very "crash-y" weekend. Today's looking good too. Maybe I still have a chance to lose this week (by my weigh in Thursday evening). See ya!

Clarification: Now when I say "no sugar" I mean no sugar "things" like candy, cookies, ice cream (with sugar), etc. I'm not going to be a sugar **** and not eat normal foods that may have sugar in them, just avoid high-sugar and nothing-but-sugar foods.
-Sara

hi
Sara sugar does weird things to me too. I also avoid it too in snack stuff... It is soo superhot here...
