Hi gang . . .

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but it just never seems to stop. Here's an article I got in my in-box this morning about the lastest 'invention' in the world of tampered-with food -- specifically -- say HI to the newest nasty FAT . . . http://www.dlife.com/dLife/do/ShowCo...fake_fats.html

Obviously the article is aimed at those of us with diabetes -- but unfortuntely it has implications for everybody.

Hey Everyone...just a quick post for me. I've got a lot on my plate today. Alyssa's big birthday bash is only four days away and I gotta get my rear in gear and start preparing for **29** kids! You know grab bags, treats, food, etc....Plus I've got an idea for her cake (yeah that's right..I'm making it) that I gotta try and figure out. I hope I can draw well..LOL! Perhaps I'll post a pic if it turns out good.

Everything is still the same. Still working out at curves (measurements tomorrow) and still trying to follow a healthy meal schedule. Fingers crossed!

Welcome Rockie!

TTFN!

Good Afternoon Ladies. Okay, so I don't know if this is possible, but the scale said that I am down 3 pounds from my last weigh in! I was so floored by it, that I kept moving my scale around the bathroom floor just to be sure that it wasn't some kind of trick. So, I have met my halloween goal, now I'd like to lose 7 more before Thanksgiving. I have to keep it going! I hope you are all doing well. Tina, the party sounds like a blast. I just had a party for my two year old with 17 kids....it was crazy. I'm sure you'll get everything done. Okay, work is calling so I must go....Chat Soon!

staffinchick - that's awesome on your weight loss!!


I had a great weigh in today. I didn't lose even an ounce last week, and this week got that extra 'whoosh'. Down 3.6 pounds, which puts me in a new decade!!
I am happy! This thread has really helped me stay motivated!

Quick post again...I'm on my way out the door to go pick up my mother (1 hr. drive). But I had to come in and share my results from my measurements at Curves. I lost 3.6 pounds...not much eh, but I lost 11 inches!! I guess I have been toning and gaining muscle mass. Oh gosh, I'm so motivated!!

Okay..I better scoot! TTFN!

Hey Tina - we had the same weight loss this week! Congrats on the pounds and inches!!

Hi everybody . . .

Wow you are all doing great . . . Hope my scale- decides to be kind when I let him out of the corner on the 31st.

Morning everybody . . .

Good morning everyone!

Hope you are all having a great day!

Good Morning.
I just wanted to check in quickly. WOW you are all doing so well! I am so proud to be part of this group! I am down another pound-YAY. It seems to be falling off pretty steady now - there's no stopping me now. By the way, you can all call me Angela.....I guess I should change it on my profile! Keep up the hard work girls, it is certainly paying off! Congrats!!

Good Morning . . .

Hey everyone! The weekend is here, yeah!!

Tomorrow is going to be a challenge for me. My sister and I are getting together for a girlie day. Going to the spa, shopping and out for lunch. She and I tend to eat too much when we get together, so it's going to take some control to not go overboard!!

I am looking forward to the aromatherapy sauna and private mineral bath, though

Hello Chickies. Wow Lori, a spa day sounds wonderful. Ya know, I actually have a $100 gift certificate to a spa. My brother gave it to me LAST christmas, and I haven't had any time to use it:-( I guess I need to make time....it sounds like it's going to be a wonderful day. I on the other hand will be at my 4 year old nieces halloween birthday bash. I can't imagine they will have anything healthy there...besides the apples for bobbing of course-LOL!! Hopefully a veggie tray of some sort. It should be fun for the kids. How are the rest of you doing? I have been sick with this nasty flu that seems to be going around. I'm down another pound, but I feel so tired and miserable. I haven't had much of an appetite the last few days. Plus it's rainy and getting cold here, so that doesn't help much either. I made my halloween goal though....I wanted to lose 6 pounds, and I actually lost 8.....now I'd like to set a Turkey Day goal of 6 more pounds. Okay, I better get going, I hope you are all doing well.

P.S
Linda..... I am so anxious for you to get your scale out of the corner, I'm sure it will be very kind to you from now on-LOL!! If it's not, we'll have to come up with a new punishment for it :-))))

Chat Soon

Hope all of you had a great weekend! I had a wonderful day on Saturday, spending time with my sis. I even managed to eat pretty well and stayed within my calorie range for the day, surprise, surprise!

I really can see why people go to the spa. I am going to ask for more gift certificates for christmas!!
