Jen- hmmm.....don't know what you could use for the clear plastic thing but just remember to take things one at a time. You are a strong woman and you will be able to get it all done.

Kim- yes girl scout cookies are great but awful

Well, a little update because I know you all were holding your breaths....ya right. Just talked to bf and he said that he had noticed that I lost weight but he didn't want to say anything because he knew it was a sore subject for me. So I guess he is a good guy

Have a good night everyone!

Hey everyone! I Found my tape measure!!! It's been 6+ weeks since measuring myself and I excitedly discovered that I have lost anywhere from 1/2 to 1 inch off various measuring points. HOORAY!!!

Jen: I say the calgon phrase to!! Have fun in Portland, I am only 1/2 hour from downtown! Check out the Lloyd Center if you have time. Great mall with ice skating rink in the middle of it.

Kim: UGH... I have the munchies so bad today. right now I am slurping on a diet soda to ward off excessive eating but thin mints sound sooooo good. Thank GOD I don't have any of them available! LOL.
Keep that water going!

Carnie Subject: I thought her whole story was kind of pathetic. I did'nt like the fact that she publicized it.
I felt she could have used better judgement.

Tilley: hooray for making a much wiser choice at lunch! One of my favorite mottos is progress not perfection...and you are making good progress keep it up!

Lolly: throw those cakes away!!! You are doing to good to keep eating them.

Suzanne: my husband does the same thing. Half the time I listen and the other half I don't. LOL. He just does it cause he knows how badly I want to finish losing this blasted weight.

Tonya: keep us updated on the land. We are looking to buy a home soon to. Dh is sick of dumping money into renting!

Trish: congrats on the loss!

Brenda: I'm glad to know someone else likes elk.

Belle and Stacey: Hi!

I have to run, hi to all I missed and I will chat with you all soon!

Hi everyone! I wish I could be more regular in my postings. I miss you guys! Work was CRAZY on Monday and Tuesday. The phones didn't stop ringing & the President of the institution I work for was coming to dinner so I was working on a menu for those 2 days. He is so nit picky! An epicurean snob.

I have been journaling online via e-mail w/ a group of friends daily, so that really helps with the accountabitlity.

I skimmed through today's posts. I forgot who has the Bubblegum 'shopping diva' icon ... but I LOVE IT! My sister has the Disco Diva icon for me on her buddy list. Speaking of shopping I hit NY & Co. last night and got some sweaters I absolutely refused to pay full price for a couple of months ago (they're sleeveless - perfect for the Spring & Summer) for $7.99! I was so excited ... and tights which can not be found anywhere I look for $4.00 a pair. Woo-hoo! That is one of my fav stores.

My current fashion dilemma is that I have 5 events to go to throughout this year and I need to find 2 outfits. 3 of the weddings are the same "group" of friends and I certainly am not going to buy different outfits (unless they are an unbelieveable buy). What to do, what to do!

I'm going to get back to work now. I am running another 5K on Saturday and I might sign up for one on 3/31. This is again a busy month for me. No rest for the weary ...

Take care,

Debbie

that I finally feel confident enough to take up Latin Dancing! I talked with Dh and he agreed so we are going to sign up to learn latin dancing (the salsa, merenge etc...) starting next month. ooh lala (was'nt quite sure how to type that, LOL) I've always wanted to learn how to dance since I was a kid, but had NO confidence, self esteem really lacking. So, I am finally confident enough and excited! Just had to share!

o.k. really gotta run!

I wanted to respond to a few posts before I head off to my aerobic class.
Suzanne I totally get the b/f thing. I told a bunch of people at work I was on WW in august and I swear that I couldn't believe the nerve people have. I would have co-workers male and female ask if Ishould be eating certainthings. This just led to me sneaking more food b/c I figured well they must think I look awful and they have taken me on as their "cause" or something I quit real soon after all of the "help" b/c I was really discouraged. I think it is frustrating too b/c with WW you are allowed to eat the so called "bad" things and just count and work them in however those that are not WWer's don't get it! Regardless I can sympathize. This time I am not telling as many people although it is difficult b/c I get so excited about things that I am passionate about and believe it or not I am starting to enjoy WW and Exercise!Today anyways. Unfortunately my hunger levels and ambitions change daily! Also I am so proud of you for expressing thes frustrations to your b/f that shows excellent communication skills. I am glad that you e-mailed him! Good for you
Tilley congrats on sharing your stats with us. It is a really hard step. I know. I don't even tell my family what I weigh. You will be so glad that your shared though b/c the best part is changing them weekly when you lose! (Which I need to do) Anyways thanks for deeming us worthy

Kim Self defense sound cool have fun! don't sweat the thin mints I don't think that they are a ton of points. I was pleasantly surprised that the pb/choc ones weren't horribly bad.

Belle- Things seem to be going well for you! I am so glad to hear it! Keep us posted!

I am a bit overzealous with the smilies but they are so fun

Talk to you guys tomorrow

A co-worker of mine has a really good strategy. SHe thinks the next person to get voted off will be Nick, then Rodger and Elisabeth will join forces with Tina, Keith and Colby to kick off Jerri. So, I sure hope so!!
Well, I haven't done much of anything today except talk on the phone and watch Basketball. The guys--and two girls (me included) are huddled around a little TV watching the NCAA playoffs. It's pretty cool!
I need to call the wedding photographer and touch base with him, so I'll see ya'll later.
Have a great day!

ps...One of these days I'm going to do a super post and respond to everyone like a good girl should...
TTFN!!

pps...Well good grief! While I was posting, the other posts I couldn't see came up! I didn't even get to read them! Hi everyone!

ppps...Well DUH! Stacey!!! I didn't take time to notice there was a second page!!

[Grace, Grace]

I have just had no time today to post or read. I am going out tonight with a friend (girls night out as both of our hubbys are out of town. She is very thin and tiny and fit and wants to eat at a very bad for you place. I am still trying to work off yestarday and DO NOT want to go over points today an mess-up weigh in on Saturday so I don't know what I am going to get. AHHH< food panic. I did have a zero point lungh in prepperation (yah for me).

Brenda and anyone else, I DO NOT KNOW WHAT I AM GOING TO DO THIS WEEKEND. Sorry to yell, but i need to fix that problem but good. Ok, I will think up a new plan tonight and you all do the same. We can share tomorrow and hopefully get a great goal thing going.

Hello to you all and I will be back tonight to let you all know how the dinner with friend went.
