Barb, I love hearing how healthy you are becoming!!! You should totally write Dr. A and see if he'll put you in the first revision of the SBD book...I think you'd make a great story! :D

Hi, ladies. Sounds like you are all enjoying a good day at the beach. I am still half on, half off, but working my way back. I wish I had never gotten off the ball. But I am excited to start, and this has shown me that I don't like eating 'the normal' way anymore. Frankly, who would? =)

Enjoy your days ladies!

Barb - Thanks so much for the info on the stir fry. I am definitely going to try that one. It sounds like something I would really enjoy. By the way... Congrats on your weight loss, but BIGGER kudos on your health. WTG, I'm so proud of you. You have done a wonderful job on, not only losing weight, but becoming a healthier person.

AND, I am not doing cartwheels yet. It seems like the last few pounds are becoming a struggle to lose, so I don't want to celebrate too early. I am anticipating that I will lose by the end of next week, but I don't want to continue past the goal weight.

I was trying on the skinny clothes in my closet last night and found several outfits that were hanging in the back for a skinny day. And, they fit. Woohoo. There was one suit that I bought about a year and a half ago. We were away and I wandered into a clothing store while DH had his back turned and found a few clothes that I really liked. Since I was in a hurry (so DH didn't catch me), I bought several outfits that were my size, but didn't try them on. However, I didn't have my glasses on. When I got home, one of the suits that I thought was a size 9, was actually a size 4. It was too late to return, so it hung in the back of the closet with the XXXL (DH bought in China and I swear it would be small on a barbie) pantsuit. When I tried it on last night - it fit!!!! I am wearing it today and have received a ton of complements on it. One of the ladies saw me a told me that she had no idea I was so skinny because I still wear baggy clothes to cover up the fat. I am really going to have to work on that perception of me, I think.

Well, gotta run here. Too much work, so little time.

Just a quick drive by on my way to get the girls for soccer practice.
TXMomof3 I am getting a dress for my sisters wedding in Dec. Big shopping day Sat. She is so spoiled! She said she wants about an 800 dollar dress! OMG! It ain't her first rodeo if you know what I mean! A shoestring wedding with a fairy tale dress! hahahaha Oh well when daddy is payin for it I guess you can afford that luxery. Gotta go I'm late now! hahaha

SIZE FOUR?????? Peggy, you skinny thing, you!!! :hat: :high: :cheer: :hat:

I'm so proud of you for all of your very hard work...of all of us, I think you've had the most stringent Phase II and you've done it all without one complaint! Yippee!

So....do we get to see pictures of you in all your splendor? :D

:bravo: Peggy. I still like you even if you are a size 4!! :love:

Ok I'm back early another parent is goin to pick the girls up so I didn't have to sit and wait on them. Peggy a 4 yes we need a pic so we can see what a 4 looks like! It has been way to long ago for me and will probably never happen again! I bet you look stunning today! You go girl! I'm soooo glad for you!

I don't think I have EVER worn a size four! You are doing so well!

My 14's are starting to get a little loose so I have hope I will be in 12's eventually. That would be great. :)

Hi RNMOM,
I leave for Cambodia on Saturday 6th November - so next saturday!!!!! The trip has become all consuming - I can think of little else, well that and SBD!

Have a positive day!

Evening all!

I always get in here soo late!

Peggy - size 4? I haven't been a size 4 since I was 4 :lol: You go girl. Pictures would be nice - I'll bet you are :flame: - I'm looking forward to shopping at a regular store! Who told designers that plus size women want to wear ugly clothes? The smallest I remember is a size 10 and that was many many lunar eclipses ago.

Bami - Is the dress white? :lol: I get married in a potato sack if someone could guarantee me it would work. :lol:

I just completed 24 very scary werewolf cupcakes. I thought I was going to die. No licking spoons or anything. Actually after awhile the smell of sugar was making me a little sick. Either that or I was getting so upset about handling all the sugar I was getting sick. :dizzy: Not sure - but I made it! Tomorrow night I have to do their fangs.

Sleep tight all!

Anchor...Ugh yea she is wearing white white. I tried to sway her to off white but.... she is the Princess! teehee She has this notion that her girls will want to wear it one day. Maybe but I doubt it. I sure don't expect my DD to want to wear my dress and it was one of the most beautiful dresses I have seen. I don't say that lightly I feel I got very lucky or blessed I should say! Oh well you can't tell her nuttin she already knows it all but I love her anyway! haha
