oh geez Petra.. maybe Tammy will chill... new surroundings and all.. I myself am just totally disgusted.. went to buy some outfits for work and had to get size 22 when just last year I was wearing 16's grrrrrrrrrr didn't take long for my "protein powder fast" lbs to come back in all the wrong places... i swear I don't know whats wrong with me ... I just have become so lazy.....

I don't even have fantasies of being thin.. but crap under 200 would be nice! sigh.........


Its like when I get home from work ... I am am just worn out... like i am perpetually tired!


I don't know about the braces Dee.. lol you think after they put them on .... they could wire my mouth shut??????????/

I'm home from vacation. I found doggie daycare for the dogs which worked out pretty well. I dropped them off every morning and picked them up every evening and could enjoy the rest of my day while I was on vacation. I think they are both happy to be home but especially Tammy.

Dieting didn't go real well on vacation. I'm getting back on track. I don't think I can get into the fat free thing real well but I actually bought skim milk this week and I am down to fat free yogurt so we'll see how it goes. I want to give it a few more weeks.

I also went to yoga today. That is one positive change I have made in the past 6 months. I still go to yoga regularly as my schedule allows. I'm trying to focus on the positive changes I've made toward better health even if it hasn't caused any great result on the scale.

Back from the big city... ugggh I don't know how people can stand living there... I guess its all what you get used to. My friend picked me up in the evening and showed me some sights... beautiful archecticture.. but who wants a home where your odds of getting mugged are once every six months? ...

hmmm scary those mirrored elevators... kept trying to figure out who that fat lady was looking back at me :lol:

took today off .. but looks like rain all day I guess the remmanats of Fay have gotten here..

have a great day pic girls!

Hey Girls!

Petra~ I hope everything is ok for you. Stay safe.

Curly~ I's SO with you. I don't mind visiting the city, but I'll never be able to go back to live. hehe.

I have to go to a manager party today. I'm not sure I'm looking forward to it totally though. I've heard most of them use the day to get as drunk as they can. ACK! I've also heard there are nice bonus checks given out too... yayyyyy! I'm think I'm going to get my hair cut and hilighted then pay off bills. :)

You ladies have a great day.

:grouphug: Dee~

hey guys remember when i was dating that engineer who was a workaholic? well news story just broke in fl ... he has 3 wives and no divorces!!!!!!!!!! google bigamist florida.....

the reporter told me at least 9 women have stepped up and said they dated him... one was 71 yo

OMG Curly!! That is so weird! I'll have to check out the story.

I'm off to San Francisco tomorrow at 6am... YUK. Another work trip, but this one isn't overnight. A long long day. (It'll still be fun tho)

Have a great day!!!
Dee!

What's up PIC's????

It's finally cooled off here. Fog and overcast today. I love it!!!

Petra~ How goes the FF?? Btw, try the 0 fat yogurt from Fage. It's actually really creamy. Hope you're doing well!

Curly~ How's school going? You better be making time for yourself, as best you can. Good Luck!

Hi..

yes.. I am having my start of the semester...why am I doing this to myself... panic.. started writing papers at 730 am today and just stopped... my brain was getting mooshy...

figured out last night I will be a 2012 graduate... if I last till then :lol:

still stuck... weight not moving... sigh

sound like a broken record here don't I?

everynight I tell myself gotta get up in the am and walk...

morning comes.. alarm goes off.. and I say sleeep must have sleep...

date? whats that? lmao

soooooooo how is everyone?

Hey guys. Me and WW just didn't work out. I gave up on it after about a month. I'm trying Sonoma again. There is something about that plan that keeps attracting me back to it. It just seems so sensible but we will see what happens. Still doing yoga and pilates several times a week when it fits my schedule.

I've had a small taste of hurricanes here. I also found out I will never be able to leave during a hurricane which is not really a surprise. I was locked down in the hospital during Gustave. A friend took my dogs.

Curly-school will go faster than you think. Hang in there. It will be worth it.

hmmm I was thinking about WW online program... been trying to get back into my walking, I am back up to two miles every other day. never have made it back to my ladies workout express... and here lately seems like the weight is just packing back on.. I don't know if its from menopause or what but geeez.

Curly-on the Sonoma site there is a lady who has lost 80 lbs. She eats the same thing every day. I thought about you and how well you did when you ate the same thing every day. I'm amazed at people who can do that. maybe that is part of why this is so hard for me-I crave variety. One of the nice things about Sonoma is I should never get bored on this diet unless I want to but it could make it more challenging.

Did I scare you all away?

Thank heavens, I found you all (along with 60 pounds of junk in my trunk, 2 love handles, and a closet of clothes that don't fit me... Yes, was singing that).

It's been a long, long time ladies, and now that I found myself and put on my big girl panties, I desperately needed to find my PICs. I could write you all a novel, but it sounds like a really bad Lifetime movie.

Would it be okay with all y'all if I came back to this site? I really missed you all, but I want to make sure I am not intruding. You women truly are amazing, and ladies to look up to, sticking together, and hanging in here together. WOW!

I am so happy I could dance (except my cubicle rattles and shakes the computer monitor of the undernourished soul on the other side of the wall (who just offered me a homemade organic nourishment bar that is truly made with sticks and dried leaves of plants from their hiking trip) Uh, ok...

Have a great day everyone! (((HUGS))))

of course you can come back!!! It would be nice to see some of the old PICs back. This is not the active forum it once was but you are certainly welcome, jump right in. The more the merrier.

Hey ladies,

L2L~ Welcome back!!!! The more the merrier. I'd love to get this joint hoppin' again!

:hug: Curly and Petra :)

So things are about the same here. I've been more lenient with myself and have to get back to my basics. I'm still sitting at 208..... but now it is my low weight whereas a couple weeks ago it was the highest end of my average. I seem to be hitting 208-209.5. Not a huge fluctuation, but I don't like seeing that jump none the less. SOOOOO I'm journaling as of tomorrow, and I'm going to vow to walk at least 3 times this week.

Thanks for being there girls!!!!!!
