Ro-How was your weigh in? Hope you saw good news. My personal experience is that I have to both exercise and diet in order to lose weight. I'd stick with weight watchers at least a bit longer. You have been losing with it so you know its working. I agree its hard to shell out $40 a month, but this is your health we're talking about. What is more important than that? BTW, that is 1 home remedy I dont think I'd be able to handle. WOW!!

Aimee-I'm happy you're feeling better. Hope you get back into your healthy eating program today. Maybe get some light exercise in today to to push whatever was getting you out for good.

I have a busy day. I have a hair appt. today-hooray! but then I have to drive about and hour away to do some accompaniment work at a school. My house is dead center in the middle and they are both in opposite directions, so on their own its not a big drive, but put together yuck! I didn't intend to do them both today, but had to reschedule the hair cuz of a dr. appt. tomorrow. As long as I get to the school on time, it wont bother me. I just despise running late.

Hope all of ya have a wonderful day.

Hello everyone! Happy Thursday! My wi is tomorrow - I think I may be a lb or so down. No- I did not let the Super Bowl slip up get me down - I actually planned on it! I have been on the straight and narrow since Monday am. Aimee- glad you are feeling better. Brandy- I am glad to hear your headache is gone and your eyesight isn't! Yee-haw! Tomorrow my daugher turns 16 - yikes - I'm feeling old!

Hey Gals, I'm starting to feel a little better each day. Soon I hope to be back to eating 100% on plan, and get more of this darn weight off. Although speaking of which, I am 1 pound closer to my goal Only 3 to go and I'll finally be under 220!

Brandy - Sounds like a busy day of driving, sometimes I find it to be soothing. Depending on the road conditions of course. So what did you get done to your hair? I have been thinking about what to do to mine, it's been growing since the summer.. I have a few ideas, we'll see though.

fatBgone - glad to recovered smoothly. Hoping I can say the same when I'm all back to eating solid normal foods. Can't wait to hear about your WI! Goodluck!!

-Aimee

Hi ya gals, another day of dr.s for me. I'm off to the neurologist in a bit. Hopefully she can help tell me what happened and form a plan so it never happens again. All the driving went fine yesterday. I was more concerned about running late to one of them which didn't happen. It was a good day overall yesterday.

Tomorrow will be off for me. I'm accompany a bunch of junior high kids at a solo competition so I'll be gone all day (start at 8:30 and end at 4:45) then I've got a wedding reception to attend. I'm going solo as hubby has tickets to the Pistons game. Its been a LONG time since I attended a wedding w/o him. Might be fun.

fatbegone-Great job getting right back on plan. Wow, a 16 y.o.! I'm sure you'll have a fun day today. Good luck at your weigh in. Hope you see a loss.

Aimee-glad you're continuing to feel better. Congratulations on the pound loss! You're so close to your goal! Maybe by the end of next week??

Hi gals - Hot Diggity Dog! I lost 2 lbs - SWEET!

Brandy- I hope the neurologist has some answers for you. Sounds like tomorrow will be really hectic!

Aimee - wow - 3lbs- you can do it!

Well girls - I'm off- promised my 16yr old I'd bring her lunch to school for her b-day.

im still here! haha

i think the scale is up

Well, the weekend is almost over. Did everybody have fun? The reception last night was fun for me. I had to many fuzzy navels and a large piece of cake. It was nice to get dressed up and go somewhere. Its also nice that I didn't suffer from a hangover this morning.

I still have no answers. The neurologist is rerunning blood tests the first week of March. If the Protein C is still off, then I'm calling a hematologist. I learned that my B12 level is deficient (has been since my Sept. yearly blood work but no one ever told me!) So, I'm on some liquid B for awhile and when I get my work done, she'll check to see if I'm absorbing what I'm taking. I'm so tired of drs.

fatbegone-great job on your loss!!!

Courtnie-hang in there. Hope the scale starts moving in the right direction for ya soon.

Aimee-I had my roots touched up. I love being a redhead, but its somewhat time consuming to stay on top of the roots. I thought about cutting mine, but I love the pony tail ease for workouts. Plus when I glanced through a style mag. nothing caught my eye. What are ya thinking of doing?

Woah - crazy weekend here! My brother was in town with his gf, and they go to sleep late and wake up SO late. Very different lifestyle from my bf and I! This morning we got up, went to Costco, had lunch and came home to find my brother JUST waking up and his gf just out of the shower. It was 12pm!! They are gone now.. so life returns to normal!

Brandy - my bangs are FINALLY long enough to wear down, in the summer I got like 1 inch bangs cut... SO bad on me! So now they are side swept bangs, which I love. I just need a good cut, probably about 2 inches below my ears. I don't know if you follow celebrities, but it's the shorter hair style that Kristen Cavalerri from Laguna Beach. I probably won't dye my hair, mostly because I LOVE the colour of my hair, it's brown, and always seems to look like it has highlights, but I don't put any in. I like your red colour, it's not too bright, and not really fake. I hate too fake of hair.

Well ladies thats it from me.. I will ttyl!

-Aimee

ugh...the weekends are waaay too short. I need a vacation!

brandy - the sounds like a lot of junk. yuck!! hope you get better and all this stuff goes away. hang in there. soon enough you'll be seeing a doctor oh, but once a year!

aimee - that sounds like a very cute cut. I'm actually going to get my hair cut this week....I am way overdue for a trim. But I don't think I want mine cut cut....just a trim. I've never had long hair and i want to grow it out and see what it looks like. I have not seen the hills in a long time. we moved and have not had satellite for a while now. I'm stuck watching the Soprano seasons over again (not that I mind, I love the sopranos!)

courtnie - how'd it go at ur conference??

fatbgone - WTG on your loss!!!

I had a horrible week with eating. But it's monday so its time to get back on the wagon. I'm going to try really hard and work towards my goal!!!

take care everyone

Hi girls,

Happy Monday! Here we go again I guess. I fell off the wagon again this weekend. However, I made a big crock pot of veggie soup to start the week! Sounds familiar Rosario? This next weekend will be rough because I am out of town. This is my family's 12th annual shopping trip. We rent a large condo and shop, shop, shop. We go to the Lake of the Ozarks. There is a huge outlet mall with 110 different stores. There will be 14 of us this year. This is a very special weekend to my sisters and I.

Courtnie - what a bummer! Hang in there though. I'll be you'll have a 3 or 4 lb weight loss soon.

Brandy - do you like your neurologist? Does he sound like has any idea what's up?

Aimee - your brother and gf sounds like my kids! Welcome to my life! Actually they are starting to suck me in- haha. I find myself up until 1-2 o'clock at night every weekend and then sleeping until 9 or 10.

Some sleezy person broke into my car today, stupid jerks. They stole my CD's, a watch and a quarter. They did NOT take the Oakley sunglasses though. They also got some gum. Its just so unsafe in this world, like someone just feels it's their "right" to invade MY personal items and take what they want. Ugh, so frustrating. I need to move to a smaller town.

-Aimee

Aimee- I feel for ya girl. I had my truck broken into at my CHURCH last May. The smashed a window and stole my purse which was on the floor of the back seat under some things. It is insane that people do this. I work so hard for what I have and it really pe'ed me off that someone just came and took it. I live in a VERY small town. Moving wont help. I hope you are doing ok. I was very upset for a very long time following my incident.

fatbegone-Are you getting back on track?? I had a bungle over the weekend also, but I'm back at it as I'm sure you are. Your family thing sounds so fun!! We have a girls weekend for the fam every year. In fact we're trying to get the weekend picked out right now. I hope you have fun. I do like my neurologist I just dont like how slow everything seeems to move when I'm worried the "incident" might reoccur, or come back worse. She should know what more I need to do after the next test results come in.

Courtnie-

Ro-Glad you're back at it. Weekends are by far the hardest. We just gotta do the best we can.

Take care all and good luck toward sticking to your program today.

The conference was AWESOME just amazing! I got drunk enough thursday night to talk to someone I ADMIRE, he runs www.csszengarden.com as well as another site, anyway we had to go a zengarden for school and ever since then I just admired what he did. I didnt know what to say to him so I had to have a few drinks first, it was all good...

So my goal for this month is to see 161.4 - for now, I think I did gain a pound or so from what my ticker says... but I am waiting till this saturday and then I am changing it no matter the results! haha

Brandy - my bf went to the mall security and they checked out the tape which was recording RIGHT where my car was. But!! The camera scans out for 18 seconds and then returns to the car, and by then the guy was already IN IT!! My alarm did NOT go off either. Like what the HECK?!?! I talked to an insurance person (who just happens to work at my store pt), and he was saying that our type of car is easily broken into. So don't get a Mazda! I asked him what we can do to make sure this doesn't happen again and he said to leave the glove compartment open, and the ash tray open, that way they can see in the car that there's nothing in it and not worth breaking into. A club wouldn't have helped because they weren't trying to steal the car, just get at the stuff in it. I went for a run about 5 months ago and when I was done there was a girl who had her car broken into, she has left a backpack visible. Since then I have not left a thing in the car, not even a sweater. I do feel pretty voilated, and just like why should I help people in this world if they are just going to do this to me. I hate sleezy people. Grr! Do you realize you are only 6 pounds away from your goal?? I can't wait to get to the maintenance stage! I have been learning lots about "old fat" which is supposed to be really hard to lose.... and plan to start doing all the stuff to get rid of it now!

Rosario - I missed The Hills last night, stupid work. I also have to miss Gilmore Girls tonight, I think those are the only two shows I watch consistantly. I have to start requesting these nights off can you imagine? How's the dieting going this week? I was SO bad last week, but somehow managed to recover and am back to my thursday WI weight. You know how they say it just "clicks" and you get it? I didn't believe it, but it did happen for me. My mindset is SO different, it will happen for you and that weight will melt off.

fatBgone - man, I don't know how you do it! When I go to bed late I wake up earlier, which means less sleep. Weird huh? you can totally do it on your trip, think about maintaining! Every good choice adds up!
