Hey All, back from the gym with another great workout!!!! I trained for 45minutes and then I did 200 sit ups and the arc trainer for 37minutes. Burned 412calories on that alone!!! Still no weight gone....YUK!!!

Penny, so glad you are home! Good luck with Andrews test today! Thoughts and prayers are with you.

Michelle and Chris, glad you got my Xmas card. I thought the snowmen were so cute! Anyway, no Michelle, I haven't gotten my swap gift yet, but Cindi said she mailed it....I think last week sometime. Can't wait to hear what everyone else got. I know Cindi got her gift from me already.

Anyway, all HOpe you are having a good one. Yucky weather here. Cold and rainy. Check back in later.

[BIGtimeLOSER]

Mel's gift was sent at lunch TODAY! I am so far behind on everything with the move. But it's on it's way. I posted earlier this week that there was a mix up with my friend and it didn't get out last week, so I got it back and did it personally. I hope it posted. IT'S COMING, MEL!! and I had to try hard not to keep it for myself. Do keep me posted, we have really bad mail service here, I mean REALLY bad.

Back later!

[melmcc99]

Cindi, Hey lady! I hope you don't think I was rushing you. I was only saying I can't wait to see it!!! Thanks I'll let ya know when it comes.

[chrily]

Crystal,
I got your Christmas card in the mail today. Thanks. Now its proudly displayed right by Melissa's. My maiden name is Moore. Funny huh? If you say your middle name is Ann, I'm going to have to say too weird.

To all-Please be patient. I do have cards too but I'm poking along and haven't sent them yet.

TTFN...the kids are running me ragged today. I have been up and down the stairs so many times. I should have a small butt by now.

~chris

[melmcc99]

Chris, I know what you mean about going up and down the stairs. We should be skinny running around the way we do after our children...lol

Crystal, ya, I almost forgot, I got your xmas card too. Thanks so much!

[mamawithdreams]

Mel, got your card today. Very cute, thanks.

Chris, then it's officially weird...my middle name is Ann. Crystal Ann, of course, Moore is my married name. That is too weird.

Okay, back from the doc. Everything is good. I'm officially on a two week period now. I go back Dec. 21st. The appt. after that will be my first "check" to see if any progress is happening. I'll let you all know. I got back and realized dh ate what was suppose to be his leftover dinner for lunch so I've got to go get him something ready. I'll try to be back later.

[BIGtimeLOSER]

I am so sad, I had to send two of my dogs to new homes today. I am happy about them having good homes, but miss them already.

Mel...I didn't think you were rushing me, I hope you think it's worth the wait. I am just sorry it's taking so long and I feel bad about it. Story of my life...sigh!

I still have so much to do and can't seem to get any rest anymore, I am exhausted!

Hope you are all having a great week.

[spryng]

Good evening all!
So sorry I have once again been MIA... dh was home from friday until this morning so needless to say he occupies my time, lol. Saturday was an all day family day, took the kids to see the incredibles which was very cute and they loved it. Went shopping and I got a new blouse that is so adorable, wish I could wear it everyday, lol. Sunday was a relaxing day and then monday of course I had to go to work. I got a 100% on my medical terminology test!!! I was very proud of that. So glad that is done. Dh took the kids to get some pics made, we get their pics done every year between dec 6th and 23rd because those are the two weeks of the year my two oldest are the same age! Bubba just hit 4 yo and Ava won't be 5 until dec 24th. So I only got to see the print out so I hope they came out cute. But he spent the whole day with them, bought them new clothes, had Ava's hair cut and styled (which she loved, lol) so it was a fun day with daddy for them.
Anyway, work is going great! Only 3 more weeks of training to go!
Penny so glad you enjoyed your gift! Don't forget to tell everyone what it was, lol. That's the best part! How was your trip?

Well, my dinner is getting cold in the microwave, TTYL!

[Angel Marie]

Hey ladies,guess I've missed all the gift swaping.That's what I get for being MIA for so long.Hope everyone is doing good.
As far as me i've been going to my gym for going on 3 weeks now an loving it.Haven't missed a day.haven't lost any weight though.that kinda sucks.I know it's because I haven't been eating well plus I know that i'm gaining muscle because my arms are really starting to tone up.Their getting the cut effect i've been wanting.now I'm starting to notice my butt is going back where it should be.Kind of proud of that.Still have alot of shaping and toning to do "back there".
I've been doing so much with the kids I haven't had much time to breathe.Their in a church play and their all having christmas stuff at school.Their doing a litttle musical and all the classes are having a party.Katlynns class is having hot chocolate in her pj's at school on Monday.I'll be so glad when the kids are out of school for christmas break.I don't like being stressed i'm not fun to be around.
Well it's time to watch big fat loser.ttyl love to all

[sherybaby]

Goodevening ladies!
Sounds like everyone is having a pretty decent kind of day. Mine was good. Worked out this mng. Did my 4 mile WATPs but only did 2 miles because I had to get to work. Work went well, and then had my 2nd Brownie mtg after school. We did our little initiation thing and made 2 crafts, holiday cards and christmas ornaments (candy canes) we played a game, learned a song and then we werer done. Very productive if you ask me! LOL! We had 64 degree weather today but rainy and now a wind storm. Winds were 62 mph at the Cleveland Airport. We have a great room and when its windy it sounds like the house is going to blow over. Taylor freaks out! I just hate when the electricity goes out. Only once for a couple minutes this time. So that was good. Before we had kids my electricity went out for 4 days once and ever since then I get so upset when it goes out. I'm making my daughter and son that way too which probly isn't a good thing. I just can't help it tho.
Ok, I'm off to watch the Biggest Loser. I'll catch you all tomorrow.

[Jaymi_Dol_78]

Hello Everyone! I just want you all to know that I'm back and I'm here! I don't have much time today... as usual... but I'll be back tomorrow to update everyone! I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! I missed you all!!

[Deana1113]

I'm here finally! Oldest ds has had the computer since noon! I had to make him give it up.

WI this morning was 3 pounds down and measurements were .5 off the waist. I will get measured and weighed on Monday at Curves so that will be a 1 month point there.

Didn't do a lot today except get myself in deeper with kids stuff! I'm such a glutton and I bring it on myself, then spend the whole time doing it asking myself why I do this! Oh, guess I should tell ya what "it" is....lol. I decided to crochet little stockings for the take home treats for Matthew's 2nd grade class, and if I have time, for Abby's preschool class. That is a total of 37 of them! I started last night after I found the pattern online. 2 done, working on the third and they are sooooo cute. I have pencils, bookmarks, little notepads to put in them and then whatever the other parents send to put in them. I want to atleast have a couple pieces of candy and a candy cane to hang over the edge. If I can scan one and size it right I will post a pic of one. I have so much yarn in different colors and not enough of any one to make anything else so this is a great project to use it up. But I have 14 more days to make them. I have to have them done for parties on the 22nd.

Michelle: Yes it was sent, just waiting on the good ole post office to get it to Texas!

Sorry to not get personal with everyone, just a couple quick things. on the test Spryng! Penny, let us know how the test came out with Andrew. I'm thinking of him. Ricci: Keep your chin up, you'll probably ace it next time. Crystal, you're getting so close! Cindi, sorry you had to give away your babies. Sorry to all having yucky weather. We are supposed to get sun for the next few days and in the 50's.

Well I better go crochet some more

TTYL

[Deana1113]

Jaymi: Great to know you're still around! Get back in here girlie! We miss you. How are the kiddos? How are you doing on plan?

[Deana1113]

Not sure how the color is on this but it's mint green sewn together with hunter green. The reindeer is the bookmark hooked over the side. And my scanner has lines in it....ughhh!

Hi everyone!
Finally! I can post now that I have the majority in bed! I did something stupid today. I forgot to eat breakfast then when I had to leave the house I thought I would just grab something fast. As it turned out I received a phone call that put me way out of time and had to leave with out eating anything! Now I am sooo hungry after supper I want to eat everything I can get my hands on. Any way that's my gripe for the night!

Crystal-so glad that your doc appointment went good! Is it getting hard to eat yet? I always had terrible indigestion near the end. Hope your fine.

Sherry-glad you got in your exercise and had a good brownie day! 62 m.p.h. is a good blow! I'd be worried it would down a tree on the house!

Angel-glad to see you back! I'm so impressed your arms are getting that cut effect and your behind is going back. That is so great! I'm totally jealous my arms have that drumstick (chicken) effect, I don't even want to think about my butt!

Spryng! There you are! So good to see you! Congrats on the 100% on you M.T. test !!

Cindi- I'm glad the move is almost over, that is so much work!! Sorry to hear about your doggies!

Mel- you are the workout queen! I bet you are toning up too! Hats off to you!
Do you think that the more weight you lose the harder it is to get it off? At the site that gave the formula for drinking water also said that you should change what you are doing to lose. It is unexpected for the body and kind of tricks it, because it is anticipating how you are going to feed it. Kind of hoarding the weight in a way. Now I can't remember the site name but someone else will, and look it up.

Hi Ricci- sorry about the test it sounded like a hard one! Seems to me that your one of the best in the class and if everyone failed they might do something to make that up. Don't worry... you'll have your cosmotology license right? My sister has her's but I don't think she kept it updated.
I don't think it's as easy as people imagine.

Hi Jeniqua-Celine just turned 3 on the 3rd of this month. She is a hoot! She recently said, "Sometimes I'm potty trained and sometimes I don't." Another one, when DS came home from school for a visit. "I miss you...don't lose me again." That is really my favorite age. Babies are so lovable...and teenagers,well.... But two year olds are in a class by themselves! Bless their hearts!

Michelle- are you just "waking-up" and rarin' to go now?

Hey Deana-were are you? Jilly bean? Penny? I know I forgetting someone...

Btw- somebody tell me what big fat loser is! Is that a reality show or like a game show? Now I'm curious!
