I have to say that my day improved drasticly after that post. Guess I just needed to get it out of my system. I had fun last night with a couple people I know, and stayed up ridiculously late talking about music mostly, and trying to make some plans for today which happenes to be my 20th birthday It feels SO good not to have that nasty "teen" at the end of my age anymore!
Well I'm not going to be doing so well with being op for today...(or last night for that matter) but another reason my weight is likely not cooperating is TOM which hadn't even occured to me at the time! But here it is. It tends to seriously sneek up.
Susan, HAPPY BIRTHDAY! you have every reason to be feeling better..hope you have a wonderful day!
Beth..thank you for the biology lesson i really enjoyed reading that too..today i'll be lifting again..every other day is my plan
I think i read that you have to have a days rest for your muscles to recover don't know if thats true or not. You can probably tell me
Faye, you cried: ?? oh..i wanted to see that movie but not if it makes you cry i want to laugh!
Well, as usual i've been online for hours and i've got things i want to do..exercise..clean..shop. so i'll get going
Happy Birthday Susan!! I am so glad you are feeling better and have a wonderful day!
Faye, I can't wait to see that movie, it sounds great.
2 points for yesterday, water and op. I couldn't help but stay op at dinner last night. Jeff came over for dinner, I made my son's favorite meat loaf---between the 2 of them I was lucky to get any at all!!!! Bottomless pits, both of them.
Susan: I am so glad you feel better! BTW HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU! Hope you have a spectacular one!
Cathy: Oh, I forgot we have some newbies who don't know. First off, my dh and I have been married going on 32 years. He is my very best friend in the world and we are tremendously close. In the middle of the night of November 2 of this last year, he had a major heart attack. He is doing well now, but it was very very tough on me and I pretty much kept it bottled up so I could handle everything. I am a BIG cryer even for cartoons, but I really identified with this poor woman and knowing it was a real story made it even more so. In this movie, her husband has leukemia and passes and that is why I was crying. It just tore me up. It is a spectacular movie and very very funny so you really should go and see it.
Judy: Doing good girl, keep it up!
I was all energetic this morning again and made two batches of lowfat buttermilk biscuits and froze them and a batch of homemade noodles. I have never made them with egg beaters before instead of eggs and with half the salt, but they came out ok so I will let you know tomorrow how they taste. Instead of using a stock chicken, I am using boneless skinless chicken breast, cooking it shredding it and then cooking it in ff canned chicken stock so we will see how that comes out. Sure will drastically cut the fat for sure! I also made myself a peach and apricot smoothie which was really good.
Well, I am going to let my dh have the computer and get the sheets out of the dryer, make the bed and unload the dishwasher.
GOOD MORNING BEAUTIFULS!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY SUSAN!! I understand completely what u were saying about putting too much of your self into relationships... but its who i am... and i happen to like me... so i just deal with it... does that make sense? I hope so... Sometimes u just have to come to the realization that if u like who u r... then u need to celebrate it... Take pride in yourself and how u do things. Every now and then someone will come along and make u question how u r... but u just need to remember that its just something to learn from... Man, i am getting alot out of this as well...lol seriously... sometimes we just need to be a bit more patient with ourselves... treat ourselves as we would treat others. Ok i had an epiphany here and i am glad... i hope it helps u too susan...
I really want to go and see that movie Faye... glad to hear it was so good. Judy good luck with the boyfriend, and i agree with
Faye... be careful... Beth... chin up ... u r a good and beautiful person and we all have our blue days...i sometimes have bl;ue weeks...lol just know u can come here and vent or cry or say whatever u want to and we will be here... and love u... and support u. Man i am in a mood today... Remember to take care of u... and i love u all very much...
Hello seriously fun ladies! I'm forum-shopping, a returning 3FCer who's been gone for a while. This forum sounds terrific, and I think I would like to participate. I will introduce myself: I'm Kim,
I am starting Nursing School in Portland, Oregon right now. I was supposed to start last week but no school cause of the freak ice and snow storm (you heard about it from Scuzin!) The snow is slowly going away, so I guess I'll start on Monday. I am 26, live with my boyfriend in NE Portland, and have 2 cats. I have been struggling with my weight actively for about 2 years, have 21 lbs to lose to reach my goal (BMI 24).
Since it is saturday I will open up the joke book for you...
I didn't write them, and can't be held responsible for any groan-related injuries.
What do you get when you cross a comedian with a salamander?
A shtick in the mud.
I am really into the positive attitude, having fun sort of thing. Hope I fit in!!!!
I guarentee you'll find this a welcoming suppostive place. Fellow Willamette Valley-er eh? My parents live just south of Portland and I go to school in Corvallis. We only had 2 days of school cancelled but that's still enough to throw everything off!
Thanks for the lovely birthday greeting! Hope you all are well.
Dropping in to let you know that I AM STILL ALIVE! just have been busy. I must confess I gained 3.3 lbs since last weigh in, I knew I had some, since I have been nibbling and NOT EXERCISING since Christmas Day!!!!!!!!!!!! yikes
Getting revved up to get back on track! so now it is a 53 lb loss, so, not going to keep kicking myself in the rear over it. just need to get back in the saddle again, Right?
Welcome to all you new girls!! you will feel very loved and inspired here.
Take care of all of you lovely ladies, and I will ck in again soon
I just lost a long post I'd just written - how annoying!
Welcome to you Kim - you sound like you'll fit right in here!
Also Happy Birthday to you Susan - I hope you had a fantastic day!
I'm trying to set up an exercise routine at the moment. I've just bought an exercise mat and ab-trainer, so I can now use my exercise bike and do sit ups and floor exercises at home, as well as go to the gym. I think I'll benefit from doing my exercises at the same time every day so it becomes a routine. I might have a temp job locally starting soon, so I'll have much less time - but I think it will actually help me to have a more structured day, as at the moment I tend to drift about doing nothing!
Amanda, Sandy, Scuzin, thanks so much for the warm welcome. I earned 4 pts today. My personal picture was too big to be an Avatar, hopefully I will have one soon. I plan to post frequently!
Lets Go!
SUNDAY: Today is Silly Poll Sunday and here is our Silly Poll this week:
Now ladies, this is all fun so just play along. You are at your cosmetic surgeon's to get "redone" completely. He shows you pictures of celebrities body parts, whose do you choose for your boobs, butt, legs, etc.?
POINTS WRAP UP:
Kimmy:
Welcome, Kimmy, we are thrilled to have you here. If you haven't already clued in, all the information about the thread is in the very first post. When you feel comfortable enough with the group, send me your e-mail if you like and I will send you an invitation to join our myfamily website where you will be able to join in the chat, post photos and all kinds of things. Oh, I am sending you a pm with my e-mail address and if you e-mail me the photo you would like as your avatar, I will resize it and send it back to you for you to use. Several of the ladies have sent me pics to resize for them. I do delete them however after I have posted or e-mailed them back to reduce taking up space on my computer.
Amanda: Got your e-mail and will send your invite to you.
Got an e-mail from my son's fiance telling me when her bridal shower is. I really want to go, but I don't know if I can swing it money wise with the trip to Vegas. I am gonna talk to Jack. The airline tickets are really reasonable to go for that weekend so we will see.
As for the poll, I guess I would probably like to have Carmen Electra's boobs (perky and dh is a big boob man! ), Jlo's butt even though everyone else thinks it is too big, again Jack would like it , and Tyra Banks legs only in white to match the rest of me!
I guess in the reality world, I have Mavis' boobs from the Hallmark Cartoon, the butt of Jumbo the elephant and the legs of Billy Barty, saggy, tubby and short!
Hi, All
Kim , I am new here too!
The girls here are very supportive, I know you will love it here too.
Susan ,HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY!!!!
Sorry I do not post as often as the rest . I am more of a listener than a talker. I do come here every day since I found this place,
you all make this a lot easier to stay on plan .
as far as the poll, Shania Twain's body would be good or for those of you who might watch General Hospital the actress who plays Faith Roscoe.
Hope you all have a Great Day'
Donna
And I did NOT blow my Diet!! I am just so very proud of myself!!
I got all 4 points yesterday and the day before. I have still not stepped on the scale.. I am not quite ready to. I have been working very hard.. and have noticed a bit of slack in my waistband which I pray is a good sign.
I hope all is well with everyone and welcome to all the new members. I am going to catch up on posts and get dinner started.
It feels SO good not to have that nasty "teen" at the end of my age anymore!
you have every reason to be feeling better..hope you have a wonderful day!
don't know if thats true or not. You can probably tell me 
?? oh..i wanted to see that movie but not if it makes you cry 
i want to laugh!
so i'll get going 
I am so glad you are feeling better and have a wonderful day!
- I hope you had a fantastic day!
