OMG Wendy you are SOOOOO cute!

hope its okay that i said that! lol

brandy - hope that headache is gone today.

courtnie - thoe collars are c u t e. especially that easter egg one.

wendy - love that cut!!

shelby - is it wrong to chew sugar-free? I say if it is keeping you from doing bad stuff (ie smoking, eating) then keep on doing it, no?

Well, I am on Day 3 of staying on point! Woohoo for me!! And it does feel good. I am lower on my scale, so I must be lower on WW scale. i can't wait until weigh in tomorrow, just to see where I'm at. (and if this hard work will pay off). but no matter what, I'll still be sticking with it because I like the way I feel. i feel great!!!

have a great day gals!!

Good morning gals. I'm supposedly going to the hematologists today. I'll let you know if and how it goes. I have such a bad attitude after getting cancelled on last week.

Ro-Good for you on day 3! I'm glad your scale is down and hope your weigh in is very rewarding for you.

Shelby-I'm also a SF gum addict. It helps keep my mouth fresh feeling and keeps me from munching. If that's your only vice I'd say you're doing well. I dont worry about mine much.

Shari-Hang in there with TOM.

Wendy-Cute pic. Love the hairdo. Its very flattering on you.

Well, I'm off to play a bit before my appt. I love that my appts are in Ann Arbor and I can wander around if I get there early. I hope all of you have a wonderful day.

Hola,

Honestly, the gum bothers me for a couple of reasons:
1. It's still a vice!!! I don't WANT to have any addictions! LOL (Okay, so this one's kind of minor)
2. $$. My BF and I are on a very strict budget, and as silly as it may sound, spending $25 a month on GUM is a little bit ridiculous (are you getting my nickname now, RidiculouslyAddicted?), KWIM?
3. I have bad teeth, and chewing the gum can aggravate them, giving me headaches, shooting pain, and a sore jaw.

So...

It sounds like you have what I do TMJ. I cannot chew gum because of it.

I just had a big NSV for me!!!!!


I was feeling crappy, a friend really upset me tonight, my boyfriend has his night class... Thursday evenings are usually the evenings I binge. Tonight, after my regular dessert, I was feeling like I needed SOMETHING ELSE. Well... I remembered the last time I binged, and how horrible I felt, physically and emotionally, and so....


...I went and hopped on the exercise bike and worked my tush off for half an hour, even though I already worked out this morning!! And I felt SO MUCH BETTER!! This is a HUGE step for me; I need to remember it the next time I'm feeling down. :D

Hi ladies, just a quick post to let you know that both dr. appts. went really well. At the hematologists I learned that while my protein c level is low, its not low enough to be "deficient" and therefore shouldn't be a big concern in my life. Basically stay on asprin every day and know what the symptoms of blood clots/stroke are. I can handle that. The neurologist pretty much backed that up and also said I need to stay on the B12 supplement and have it checked yearly to make sure my body is still absorbing it properly.

SO...no one truly knows what happened to me. I've had half the drs. guess a TIA, and half say they just aren't sure. Either way, I'm feeling good-headaches here and there-but no big problems or lasting effects.

HOORAY!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm glad to hear that everything is ok. Doesn't it suck that sometimes we have to accept the answer of i don't know.

Brandy~ You and I are in the same boat. No answers. Maybe a TIA,maybe not...glad you are feeling better though!

Been really busy here that past week and it looks to be the same for next week also. I'll try my best to get one here as much as I can though!
Have a good weekend ladies!

so after a very very very bad day yesterday, i told myself I was going to be good today...

well its 8:30 and I have already had a handful or two of chocolate mini eggs, haha

Hey girls. I haven't been around the boards much the past week cuz I'm enjoying my spring break and the nice weather. I just can't sit inside on the computer on such a nice day. Dunno how I'm going to keep up with posting in the summer if I'm having such a problem now! LOL. But I'll figure something out.

And just wanted to report I lost two more pounds! And now I'm at the lowest weight I've been since my freshman year in college (I'm a senior now)! :carrot: Have a great Sunday girls....

I wonder if Wendy is going to be around to start the new BTB or does one of us have to start it.

Oh yeah I am down 2 inches my waist is finally under 29 inches (28 3/4)

Yep, I'll be around!
Been so busy the past while, I feel like I'm ignoring everyone including myself!
Have some running around to do yet today so I'll check in later!

Ro ~ So glad you seemed to have found what works for you. I am very proud!

Brandy ~ Glad you are doing better now though it sucks that the doctors don't know what's going on. Quacks.

Shelby ~ WOOOT for you!

LaBonita ~ CONGRATULATIONS!

Hi everyone!

Game 15 is up and running. Starts tomorrow! I think it will be stickied by then!
