How many calories does ROTFLMAO burn? You cows are toooo much.

When I came over here to the land of Oz I weighed a measly 57 kilograms. How many pounds is that? 125???? 13 years and two kids later I'm a heifer. How depressing.

Bravo to all losers. It is amazing that we're, all of a sudden, TRYING. In my case there is no mystery. My pants HURT. I mean Hurt. I have to wear baggy tops because my top button will not button and I'm sure I waddle due to thigh restriction. Plus there is that whole shortness of breath issue that keeps slowing me down.

I've been doing pretty well. I"m PMS so I'm packing on the water...so I'm staying off the scale. I see no evidence of loss(puff, puff, puff) I haven't had sugar so I feel pretty positive.

So Bagz, 22 pts daily with 35 extra to spread out over the week? I'll get my point counts from Dottie's website. I'm going to start today with the flex points. Question, how does exercise fit in? Do I get extra points?

I have back to school night tonight. I have one easy child and one who drives his teacher crazy. Which one should I send DH to? Last year, DH went in and sat in the back of the room with all the other Basketball dads instead of sitting in DS's seat and listening. It proved my point, he's the bad influence.

I'm going to the mall. Bye.

I've eaten :
Chicken 3pts
Banana 2pts
SUBTOTAL: 5

heh heh...not likely...at least THIS heifer won't!

Cowpernia, I go to a WW center, close to home. A new fancy schmancy one, not a firehouse where I used to go. I did the online thing too and when I was all gung ho about it, did very well...but then the enthusiasm wanes a bit, and I wasn't intimidating enough to myself to be afraid to get on the scale. Not that the scale ladies are intimidating, they're quite nice and non-judgemental, but I have this need to show them what a good girl I've been..."look, see how I lost weight this week!" ~or~ conversely, I approach the scale with trepidation, my tail between my legs, vowing to do better next week. My mind works in strange ways. Plus I go with my sissy...but she's not nearly as fat as I am.

The online program is good though. Lots more info there than you get at a meeting. All kinds of fun calculators and recipes and recipe points calculators and things. You don't have to sit behind the yentas who feel the need to talk through the entire meeting, oblivious to the fact that there's a leader trying to be heard over their racket. You don't have to put lipstick on to go weigh in...heck, you don't even have to put clothes on! You can weigh in BUCK NAKED if you so desire.

they frown upon that at the meetings.

You online cows, how much is the online program? I'm a lifetime WW member, so if I could ever get down to 132 my weekly dues would be free, free, freeeeeeee! I'm starting back at the meetings tonight. I'm feeling the need for a boost, and I'm over 4 weeks post op so I think I'm safe to start trying to lose again.

OK, enough of this weight talk. Anybody got any smut to discuss?

Wow! This is a revival!!
 

Looky looky at all the inspiration I am finding here!! I need to see people making progress and getting motivated. I got motivated over the summer and was walking 4 miles an evening on the track. Then it got hot. I stopped. It's not hot anymore. I shall start again just as soon as I know the ex is finally out of town on the way to mommies in Palm Springs. Should be the end of this week. I don't like to leave kids here alone these days, but will be able to once he is GONE!! WOOOHHOOOOO!!

Lohani, please forgive me for not entertaining you and giving you something to respond to. Pumkin did great. I had a panic attack around 10ish and wanted to call sooooooooo bad. :dizzy: The mom said pumkin wanted to give me a kiss around that time, but the mom asked if she could read them a story first. She was out before the story was over!! The dad, on the other hand, said he felt like he had a couple of hyenas in the house. These two girls do nothing but giggle, giggle, giggle. You could look at them and say boo and they would still be literally rolling on the floor giggling.

It seems WW is the way to go. Maybe I will have to get off my fat butt and join myself. I haven't been eating to badly. This was proven when I actually made myself tacos sunday. It had been awhile since I had hamburger, and the combination of that and the grease did not sit well with my belly. Neither did the bacon and fried eggs I thought I was treating myself yesterday. Yuck!

This all has to weight (ha ha) until I get some money though. I got my unemployment papers back yesterday and it said I didn't qualify for a reward. I called. Seems my employer had not reported any of the earnings I had made. AHEM Yea, it is her responsibility. I'm waiting for a call from a lawyer this morning to advise me on how to handle this. I also have to call and find out if any of the tons of money I paid into Social Security shows up. Or if she is just keeping it. Jeez.

Now.....to make those phone calls.

I keep forgetting to sayyyy.....

Way to go Cherry!!!!!!!

online WW is $59.95 for 3 months including startup fee and $14.95 per month thereafter even if you weight 132.

I don't have one nearby, katrina. Not even at the fire station. All I have is a barbecue restaurant and a truck stop with deep fried everything on the hot bar.

Muff ... uhhh ..... are we looking for your ex-boss to be joining you in the big house?? ?

Well Peachy
 

We shall see. After talking to EDD this morning I called her and in a very nice manner told her what that there was no record of my earnings. And in the voice I have come to know means she is full of hudda, she said she had done them and that EDD should be getting them in the mail today. I asked her to fax me copies, and she said, well, I don't have them here (meaning she hasn't done them). Then she got a little huffy and said she could not give me that information but would fax to EDD today. I followed that conversation up with a phone call to EDD and they put on the record that she would be faxing today, and I then followed up with a formal email to her confirming our conversation and let her know that I had informed EDD of her intentions. :s:

She is a very crafty woman, we will see how this turns out. I am pretty sure she will probably protest my getting anything. I will then just have to go to the appeal board. This may even end up at the State Bar level. Pretty heavy stuff that I really don't want to have my name involved in. Yikes!

So, in answer to your question, she will not be joining me, but she may be joining my old friends. (ok...I confess to have at one time occupied a cell):o

Surprise! PITA employer turns out to be PITA ex-employer. Oh well, you're better off out of there.

I'm not going to Porkbutt meetings. I know I should, but I don't have time and it is awfully expensive.

My coffeemaker is refusing to make me an afternoon cup of coffee. This is a bummer.

P.S. Update:
Prev. Bal : 5
gagfast/7-up: 4

Geezomagnezo, Muff. If you admit it, it's no fun accusing you. Party pooper. So we have to change the subject .. hmmm.. armed robbery?

Painty, do you have any insight into a person who personifies a coffee maker? It's broken but she thinks it's being stubborn.

You know the answer to that. You already know how well the easy guy's doing, right? Don't expect much from DH. Mine is on my **** list. He left the house this afternoon at 1:00 for an interview and left the internet connected without telling me. (We only have one phone line) At 3:05, I sat down to the computer and discovered it. DD had called at 2:35 to ask for a ride home. So she had to sit and wait for over half an hour. Worse, we get home and warm up a cup of coffee and sit down to the computer, and he shows up no more than 5 minutes later and needs to use the *&#% phone. :rollpin:

Oh, I think she is screwing the wrong ex-employee, wouldn't you say?

Can you see this picture? I thought it was sort of funny.

WW is too expensive for me. I want someone to pay me for losing weight. I'm surprised there aren't any meetings in Dogpatch, Peacherino. Our town is minute and there are plenty. Apparently we have a whole ton of hefty people.

Does WW talk a lot about sodium, kat, or do you just find you retain water if you have too much? Salty stuff is truly my downfall. I have cut down on salt in cooking, but man, do I love salty snacks. (well, as long as they're fatty too...:corn: )

Off to the walking club tonight. The day turned out very nice, a bit cool, but sunny. Yay!!

Kiwi

there is something strange going on when it is HOT in NB and cool in Maine!! I am suspicious!!!!!!!!!!!!!---------YAY KIWI FOR THE WALKING CLUB!!!!!!!!

I saw the picture but not sure what it is. I heard of kinky clubs in LA. Is this one?

A Wendy's baked potato, plain, is supposedly 280 calories. How can that possibly be? It's a plain potato, for goodness sake.

Lohani, I don't envy the teacher conferences. I always felt like I was the one misbehaving, not my child. I'd always sit down and they'd say "oh you're little Johnny's mother!" like I was the kid who wouldn't settle down in class.

Speaking of motherhood, remember the 2 girls that were kidnapped and murdered last year from our town? The 3 siblings of one of the girls were all removed from their home last week, due to neglect. This is the first time the press has even hinted that the mothers of these girls weren't exactly cookie baking June Cleaver types. Not that it takes away from the tragedy of what happened, but the mother of Ashley Pond actually sent her to live for a period of time w/ the guy who murdered her. I'm just sick of seeing these moms on the local news talking about suing the children services division here because not enough was done to protect their children. :soap: Sorry, just had to vent.

Muffie, you go girl! don't let her get away with nuttin'!

I'm hungry. One of the guys here ate my banana.

My weight is 145 and my butt doesn't wiggle. My weight is 145 and my butt doesn't wiggle. My weight is 145 and my butt doesn't wiggle.

When does it take effect? :eek:

Cowp.. don't know about personification of coffee machines... after all I believe that if I get close to a vacuum cleaner, dust rag or other cleaning supplies I will be possessed either by Satan or the spirit of my dearly departed Mommie Dearest. Flylady flew the coop.

Kiwi--sorry that DH is in doghouse and daughter had to wait. poor baby. You cannot be psychic, though.... Surely SHE can make a few strong remarks to DH! NOT YOUR FAULT. :)

Wabby--- I know that big public legal cases ALWAYS involve family dynamics.... and I've seen the twisted innards of enough families to know there is always more to the story.... That's partly why I'm (almost) addicted to the crime channel that goes back and mucks around in so-called open and shut cases.

I did NOT walk this morning. I doubt that I'll exercise tonight because I won't be home until 10 pm..... But I have not pigged out. Maybe DH will chase me around a little and that'll count for something.

I weight 145 and my butt doesn't wig......
