My scale this AM said 193 but I've been bouncing between that and some higher numbers for a week or 2 so not chaning my sig yet
dh said my stomach looked smaller so thats a good thing he is also inquiring as to where my butt has gone Did I mention I love my 2 giant staircases? I think I've actually gained some muscle since we moved here
This weekend we bought a clothes washer at sears to go along with our $35 dryer we found in the area.
We had a dinner dance to go to and we were the first ones on the dance floor (yes i did this with a sprained neck I'm not always the brightest bulb) so we burned off dinner.
I have to get some work done! bbiab!

Mornin', chicks! Don't have time to respond to everyone as I'm off to pick up my dog from the boarders!!! Yaay!! Then it's running some errands and heading to the grocery store to stock up on P1 items. Today starts 2 full weeks of it. Have a fantastic day everyone!

Hello ladies I am new. Wanted to find a place to drop in and say Hi. I am on phase 1 week2. I feel great. I had a terrific weight loss this week and I am so excited. I feel better than I have in years. I need to get into a dress for a wedding we are going to in Feb, so that is a short goal for me....And than of course would love to look good in a suit this summer. Anyway,loving this program and hope I continue to stay op. I need all the help poss. Have a great day ladies.

Good Morning All!

Well, today was weigh in day after week 1 - Both Joe and I lost 4#. Very happy! He tends to get woo is me only 4# - but hey, I'm glad it's not a gain! I told him look at how we are eating - not deprived (depraved maybe), good food, etc. Hey it works! I know I'd like to be rid of it all after one week, but that is soooooooo unrealistic (bummer). Sometimes its good dieting together, and sometimes it sucks!

We are off today - got to go to the store and stock up for week 2. Will check in later. I'm sorry I don't comment to each of you individually, yet I want you all to know how much I appreciate all your comments, help and insight! Thank you!

Good morning, ladies! What a weekend! I got about 3 hours of sleep Friday night. Then I had all day scout leader training on Saturday. It was great training but I ate the lunch they provided and that just tore up my stomach. I never have problems when I stay OP. So while I went to bed early, I didn't get a lot of sleep. Then my pager kept going off. I wasn't the one on call but I still had to look at each one. I got very little good sleep that night. Luckily I felt fine Sunday and got a good night sleep and the pager stayed quiet until I was almost to work this morning.

I tried a new recipe last night. It was the Thai Shrimp soup with Lime and Cilantro from the new Quick and Easy cookbook. It was really good. That is definitely a recipe I am going to make again. It tasted wonderful and was so easy to make. It had a whole head of napa cabbage in it so lots of veggies.

Morning all.
I had a first good week back OP even though 2 of those days were rough. I managed to lose 3 lbs - and that was on P2. I also lose better onP2 when I can have my whole grains and fruit. I don't even bother with P1 anymore. I would have to be seriously out of control for me to go back to that starting point. :D
And to add to my happiness this weekend... yesterday it stayed dry long enough around here for me to take my recumbent trike out for a 25 mile ride! Man, did THAT feel great!

Here's to a great day everybody! :)

20 posts before noon! What a bunch of clucking Chickies!

It's really hard to comment on everyone's post but the MODs do read them (Gotta check for porn content! :lol: ) Everybody seems positive and supportive. What a great start to the New Year.

Who wanted to know about Romano? He is my home renovation contractor and really not very hunky! He and his merry men (who are over 6 feet) are chipping away the mortar beterrn the stones in my cellar to get rid of mold. There has been a lot of head bumping and they finally put on hard hats!

I've been sorting out Christmas stuff in my sauna storage area and stashing away things. I've done a bit of sewing and will do more later. My sewingroom is relly too cold right now but I've put on the heater.

Is it bed time yet? I've been up too long. I may work in an afternoon nap today - ALONE!

Catch y'all later.

'ello, 'ello, Beach Chicks~~

Back from the DOL and my "Re-employment Orientation" class. Such fun. ~~yawn~~

I have to go back in two weeks for a check-up so they can make sure I'm actively seeking work. Shhh...don't tell them that one of those weeks I was whooping it up on the Sapphire Princess down Mexico way! :lol:

I'm headed out in a few minutes for a badly needed haircut.

Schatzi, um...that "lobster-clawed" bug...are you sure that wasn't a scorpion??? I'da freaked...

Okay, gotta run...hope you all are having a wonderful day!

SCORPIONS! :yikes:
We have SCORPIONS in Nerth Caroliner?????
Oh thanks Mama... I'm thoroughly skeeved and askeered now!! You :devil:
I sooo look forward to the warm and humid summers I've heard about ...it seems to grow the plants huge...and THE BUGS!!!! I have never seen such lobstrosities in Joisey! (cept our mosquitos...right KO)

Ruthie...I'm suppose to read all the posts... :lol3:

Well, I'm off to the Bank, and haveta clean my house...

Syn, darlin, I moved yer Mock Pancake post to the Recipes Breakfast Phase 1 thread..:) .. Recipes get "lost" on the daily threads, since we Close the daily threads and after more threads are created, they "disappear" off the current page of active threads...

Morning everyone! I'm glad to see that most everyone had pleasant weekends - I know I did! Saturday was a nice lazy day with a little new car hunting mixed in and Sunday was the day of "Great Accomplishment" since I reorganized the whole basement, all of the closets, and the pantry. Damn, it feels good! I think I'm finally moving into that stage where I'm getting more energy. That's amazing since on the 1st couple of days I thought I was gonna die!
I do wish I was losing weight a little more quickly (I hoped I was one of the ones who loses 14 lbs in the 1st Phase!). My pants still feel a little tight from the weight I gained by quitting smoking & from the holidays (mixing the Holidays & quiting smoking at the same time sucks for weight loss). It's horrible in the morning trying to find something to wear because my pants don't fit but I won't let myself buy new ones because I know I'm going to lose weight.
Have a great Monday everyone! I know it's rough but before you know it, it'll be Friday again (I'm telling myself that more than I'm telling you!)!

Schatzi....
 

I'm tellin' ya girl, that's why yous need to move to Ideehooo. We are subzero here for a couple of months out of the year, them bugs don't got (don't you love my English?) time to reproduce and grow into something....lobstersize! EEEKKK! Nope the freezing weather keeps the "growing" season shorter! Oh, BTW, my classes this semester are Advanced Physical Assessment....I have to do clinical hours............for free! So I can learn how to do an assessment.....WHATEVER! Then my other class is Nursing Theorists......yawn:dizzy: . I suppose I should crack a book since it is the first day of class..........but I got into a painting frenzy.........I didn't even plan that. Whenever my dh goes out of town I do looney stuff like that.

Schatzi- We have those nasty bugs here in Virginia, too....And they are so hard they are hard to squish!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good luck with that!!

Bugs ahh my great nemesis. . .Our ahem Skeeters here in the garden state could have their own license plates and the biting flies. . . anything that bites loves me
When I lived in Florida HOLY SHMOLY their bugs are out of control giant and multiple colored
2 quickies
One time. . .no not at Band camp get your minds out of the gutter I was taking my scooter (its a wheelchairy type thing) to the Theatre for rehearsal all of a sudden something Thuds against my chest I look down and see a giant bug SMILING AT ME I swear it was smiling :shudder: i screamed and threw it off me
Another time I was in the library (i worked there but basically i lived there) and I looked down at my leg and the BIGGGGEST Mosquito I have ever seen was on me I wapped it with a magazine and the darn thign just fell over
Did I mention I loathe bugs?
bbl
;)

Hi Ruth:

That was me Beach, iquiring about Romano. I haven't been posting or reading post lately as the board is over whelming at this time of year.

Yikes "MOLD" TG I don't have that problem,even though alot of basements are very damp on the Cape,we invested in a humivent that takes out the moisture,out of the air,without dumping water buckets like the regular dehumiditiers have to do.

Thanks for the inf Hugs Beach Bum
