Oh, one more thing. Someone on another board posted a site for LL Bean where you can get a virtual model and try on clothes. You put in your body shape, weight and height and any measurements you want to and the model goes to your size and tries on the clothes you pick out. OMG! :rofl: I look like a pig! She looks just like me!!!!!!!!!! BUT.........I lower the weight to my goal weight and ......much better. Anyway, I thought you all might want to try it if you get bored.

KAREN!!~~I was shocked at the outcome. I thought for sure that scott would be out... I was really upset... I know it is just a show.. LOL, but we come from a performing family. I dance ( used to but will again) in a dance company and my daughter is in theater, community and does alot of plays. That girl had talent compared to scott....!!!
DEANNE!!~~ roller blades... I'm thinking middle east and roller blades don't go together, I must be stupid LOL.. you have to post pics of home. I have pics I would love to send everyone, but I can't seem to post them on here...I would need email addy's
MARIE!!~~ hello and welcome beautiful vixen, enjoy the group, pull up a chair and post and vent...
KERY!!~~thanx for the grain advice I'll have to try that!

LYNN~~

Awww...thank you for all the support- I just love everyone on this site- so wonderful!

Karen- My DH had a #2 hit in Nashville a few years ago....and Buddy Jewel sang some of the demo songs that Dale wrote.....Dale toured with Merle until shortly before moving to Cali and since then he's been trying to finish his CD and also working as a graphic artist, which I think he likes better....I think he has a passion and talent for music, plus an open doorway...but I think for the moment he's having a good time being husband and Daddy ( he's never been married before) and Im totally happy with that!

Kim- Well, I went a little crazy with the girls!...my oldest is 25....then I have a middle daughter who would be 13 this year, but passed away at age 3 1/2 ( pediatric cancer)...I found out I was PG one month after she passed ( a sign me thinks) and now I have an 8 year old red-head spit fire....

Lynn- thanks! you may be sorry you offered!

Deanne If I could fit a cracker barrel restaurant into a box I'd ship it to you....:)

thanks again to everyone- you all rock!

Ok Lynn, Now cake and cookies sound GREAT but not on any plan I know of.
Come on girlie! You can do it! We need your help here!!!
Kim

Oh to have cracker barrel...yum. Ok, Im going to try to find some pics of here...ill be right back.

Love,
Deanne

LOL i have a red headed spit fire myself. 2 blondes and a brunette to boot. Way to much estrogen in this house lol

Marie, Your hubby was on tour with Merle? Like Haggard? Wow! That is way cool! :dancer: I am a country music fanatic. Good luck to you both, whether a graphic artist or musician. I know he is lovin life - especially the hubby and daddy part.
I am so sorry to hear about the daughter that passed away with cancer. I have a 13 year old son. And a dad that is going through chemo from colon cancer. Certainly not the same situation, but my heart goes out to you. Bet that 8 year old keeps you busy though! I have a 9 year old daughter. What a blessing! You had them all spread out! What does your 25 year old do?
Kim

Kim thanx... but COOKIES!!!!.. CAN'T BLAME IT ON PMS.. EITHER!!

Marie~~ I am so sorry for the loss of your child and yes I believe it was a miracle you had your lil spit fire!...
LYNN~~

we should all try to get into the chat room one of these days...:)

Hey girls!

Karen- Thanks for the site. I meant to say plan...typo :)

Kim- Thanks for the good luck! Im trying to get upload some pictures now. We're on dial up so it may take a while.

Lynn- My email addy is [email protected]...I hope your husband feels better!

Here are some pictures...

Love,
Deanne

And yes, we should get into the chat room

Thank you for the thoughts...my little angel was a blessing- she never knew any different...or how many lives she changed....

Kim- Yeah, Haggard...but Merle pretty much raised him growing up-he was good friends with Dales Mom....it's a much different life than Im used to- now my little one answers the phone and screams "DADDY! CHARLIE DANIELS IS ON THE PHONE!!" *blink*
Im just happy having him happy at home and not out on the road. Im sorry to hear about your Dad- it's just not fair is it.....
My 25 year old is just kinda pluggin along right now...works at sears and recently moved in with her BF of 6 years.....

Marie- the picture of that dog and cat is so cute!!

It cracks me up everytime I look at it.....

I Want A Hedgehog...:)

deanne I see you are on.... isn't it like 3am there in the middle east????

Okay...I am really irritated...I was typing along and *poof* my message disappeared....I think I need to go vent a little after that! Ugh! Don't you hate that?!!!! I am tossing my PC! As spoiled as we may be to have PCs and delete keys, etc....it is still so disappointing to completely lose a message like that. Bummer! :mad:

One more time!!!!
 

Okay~~sigh, I will try again, don't know what happened to my undo key. I just got tripped up somehow. As I was saying.... :dizzy:

Deanne~~Your hedgehog is cute...so small next to the cat. No wonder the cat thinks he has a new toy! Poor little thing! I see you have been changing your avatar picture. I like the sexy cat woman by the way!

Goddesskim~~I know what you mean about too much estrogen in one house...I have two daughters that are pre-teens, 10 and 11 (act more like full blown teenagers, lots of bickering and fighting over typical teenager things). Not too mention I have one female dog, 3 female cats and 2 female hamsters. So that leaves one male husband (yep, he is a male! Ha ha), and his lone male companion--our German Shepherd Max. I have such a zoo--but I wouldn't have it any other way!

Lynn~~Yes, it would be fun to get on the chat room and do some real time chatting. Good idea...Lord knows we must have a lot to say with nearly 60 posts in single day! We are hot! I have one word to motivate you right now HAWAII baby! Keep that in your head. I keep doing the same thing with my Vegas trip...I want to be confident in a bathing suit. Know what I mean!!? You can do it....toss the cookies! There will be NO MORE cookies as long as you can't control yourself. Ya hear!

Marie~~So sorry to hear about your loss, I can only imagine your heartache. I am happy to hear that you have the blessing of the feisty red-head to help heal your heart. Sounds like you are in a happy place now with a loving hubby to keep you smiling as well! Pretty exciting to have a connection to those big names in country--but as you indicated, to him its just his family and we are all "just people" in this thing we call life. I think we are all connected in some way, at least I would like to think so. By the way, you are right--your kitty/dog picture surely makes you laugh. Speaking of funny animal photos and such, I came across the funniest cat book when I was browsing in a Barnes & Noble recently and came across this funny book called "Bad Cat: 244 Not-So-Pretty Kitties And Cats Gone Bad". It was the type of book that makes you laugh out loud--silly stuff. I didn't remember that whole book title by the way--I had to go look it up in Amazon. Me and my daughter cracked up looking at it.

Kim~~Just think all that soreness is your muscles getting stronger on those walks, and you know the more muscles you have the more fat your burn...and so on! Keep it up!

Hope everyone is having a healthy and happy day! :cool:

Karen...Bad Cat...OMG! we saw it too the other day and we howled! honestly, the sayings underneath are just as good as the pics!

KAREN~~ <<laughing>>> house full of estrogen here too.. two teen daughters, female dog, cat, and bird. We also had a female duck we lost last month... LOL...Thanx for the kick in the pants about hawaii. It is our dream vacation and I had to pull alot of strings to do this!! Two whole glorious weeks and I want to look good!!! I see alot of the summer clothing out now and I'm like... urghhhhhh nothing fits.. I'm in a 14/16 now I'd like to be at least a 12 by then.. NO MORE COOKIES I PROMISE :) AND MY FINGERS AIN'T CROSSED BEHIND MY BACK NEITHER.. LOL

MARIE~~How in the world did you get the dog and cat to pose that way??????? That is too funny. I have a siberian husky that loves my cat ( would love to eat her) and the cat knows it. (dogs pic is in my profile) Eight long years I've had this dog and they just don't get along. The cat sees the dog and lets out a hiss like you wouldn't believe.

Tomorrow my goals are to drink all of my water, walk 2 miles and stay within pts.. toss the cookies and BEHAVE!!
Jamie was suppose to come home from school tonight but decided to stay because she is going out with mike. She is still depressed over her breakup with matt and has lost 18 pounds ( she couldn't afford to lose a pound) I'm getting alittle worried, but hubby says it will pass. sigh..... You don't want your kids to hurt and you wish you could take it away, but heartache is part of life....
I'm going to watch ER and dream about broccoli... LOL
LYNN~~

was on the fashion bug web site and I had to buy this.. I love it ( I really bought it for the matching bag) LOL

http://fashionbug.charmingshoppes.co...P001768&nav=FP

Lynn, yes, unfortunately heartbreak is a part of life. I am so not looking forward to those years with my kids. It is coming though. I try not to think about it too much. I know you told us on the last board, but when is your trip to Hawaii? HANG IN THERE! You can do it!

Deanne, the hedgehog is too funny! I love it! Looks like the cat loves it too! haha. Thanks for posting the pictures. That was great.

Karen, thanks for the boost about my friggin' sore legs. There are a few hills that Kim and I walk, and they are horrible! I know they look like little hills to Kim, but to me, they may as well be Mt Everest! I can't wait to be where I am walking further, with less pain. I guess that would be the 'maintenance' part of walking, huh? Yes, I am just glad I am getting off my huge butt and at least making an attempt at something.

Marie, that is wild to me hearing about someone who grew up with Merle Haggard. My dad has ALWAYS loved him. I grew up listing to him. Dad says country music just isn't the same as it was in the days of Haggard. He loves all the old stuff. Wow and to have Charlie Daniels call up! WHAT A HOOT!

Well, I am dying for something chocolate. I found a SBD recipe I am going to try.

Oh, I don't remember who mentioned us all chatting......GREAT IDEA. We really should!

Off to find some chocolate and watch ER!
Kim

How do I subscribe to this thread. I always have trouble finding it. I am new to this site?

WOW, there are so many posts! I planned on posting every day for the Curvy challenge, but my computer went crazy and I have to defrag it...I know that is supposed to take 30mins-1hour, but so far, I am at a lil over 36 hours of defragging. I have been drinking my water and exercising like no one's business. For instance, yesterday, I had trampoline, African Dance 2, I worked out (40 mins cardio, 20 mins weights), and I had to do a lot of walking for work. I'm a lil sore today, but I still plan on hitting the gym in a few hours. I wish I could say I have been as good on food, but I can't...oh well.

I hope you ladies are doing better than me with food...I'm having chocolate cravings

Mel

Ok, I got so excited. I wanted a chocolate fix....I apparently did NOT put enough splenda in the brownies..........OMG! :eek: THEY ARE SO BITTER! Yes, I am a tad upset. :stress: Dang it!
Klengkeek- welcome! Just come on over any time. As far as how to get here? I just click on support groups and then curvy vixens #2. Get ready for some fast paced posting though. You are gone a day, and there are at least 3 pages to catch up on!
Universityprincess, we just got a new computer. Our other one took 3 days to defrag the last time I did it..You may not have been doing good with the food part, but OMG! That is alot of exercise! YOU GO GIRL!
Kim

Hi there
 

Here's some Info. about myself. My name is Myrna I'm a SAHM and have three kiddos. I live in CA. and have a great husband. I'm so glad he's doing the points with me. I feel like this time I'm motivated. This is my firs time doing WW. Three of my husband's friends got me to go to the meeting and I'm glad I made this choice. I had my 3rd WI on Wed. and I'm surprised I lost 2.4 lbs. this wk. I thougth I really messed up my points on Easter Sun.
Hope to get to know all of you and to give support as well and receive it! :)

Hope everyone is loosing Lbs., oz., and in.

Saggii :wave:

Hi Myrna! I am a SAHM too. I cater VERY part time, and do lots of stuff at my sons school. Welcome! I think you will find this a very friendly and supportive group of vixens! Way to go on the loss over Easter! That is great!
Kim

Hey girls...I dont really have much time to post. I will post a little bit later. You're all asleep anyway :) Ok, just wanted to say hi.

Love,
Deanne

I'm not asleep! Oh.. .wait... that'd be because I'm 6 to 9 hours ahead I guess ;)

My expectations got blown away - this thread went up to 5 pages overnight, not 4! And I wonder why I'm having a hard time to catch up :lol:

Myrna and Klengkeek- Welcome to the group! :)

Kim - It can only go better with the walking and legs pain, so keep your spirits up, hehe. There's this magical thing with muscles, when we use them and go on making the same type of effort, they don't hurt anymore after a while - and this can evolve pretty quickly if the effort is made regularly. I bet that in 1 or 2 weeks, you'll be a killer when it comes to walking these hills ;)

Not having too much time right now, so I'm not going to post a lot... I'll be back later on tonight if I can!

aloha vixens....
It is 930am here in upstate NY and it is raining....
I have nothing much planned this am, I do have an appt for a manicure and pedicure late.
I can't believe the weekend is here already.. my my what a fast week!!
GOALS~
Drink 8 glasses of water
walk 2 miles
and stay with points
Have two servings of fruit today~
Hiya Myrna.. .and WELCOME!
HAVE A GRAND FRIDAY ALL!
LYNN~~

Now I can tell my hubby that he's not alone in the estrogen heavy house holds lol. We have our 4 daughters a female cat and a female puppy. His lone companion is our super hyper male pug. He's so spazzy you cant even pet him. I'm still plugging right along with this diet. I'm actually eating a bit before I go on my walk this morning (cottage cheese). I usually wait until afterwords to eat breakfast, but I woke up HUNGRY this morning lol.

Hi kim.. have fun on your walk..:)

Hi gang.
Hope everyone has a love Friday and a wonderful weekend.

Good morning Vixens!

Just checking in real quick to say happy Friday to you all!

Lynn~That's the spirit, start the day with the plan. Those cookies will soon be a distant memory--and you will proudly say Aloha on the beaches of Hawaii. BTW, that little butterfly outfit from FB was adorable. Now you can go through a metamorphosis and transform yourself! Visualize the skinny you! :cp:

Goddesskim~Great job with morning walk! You are motivating me! :strong:

To everyone else--hope you are on track and feeling in good spirits today! :coffee2:

Good morning Vixens and a big welcome to Myrna and Klengkeek!

I've seem to have officially fallen off the WW wagon this week. Damn Girl Scout cookies! I am over my FP's by 7 and WI isn't until Monday night! AND it's only Friday! Wah, enough crying. Nuthin' I can do about it now but watch those points over the weekend and try to get in a whole bunch 'o exercise. Wish me luck girls. I think I might be laying sod in my yard on Sunday. That's gotta be worth atleast 4 AP's right?!

We sure are cruising right on through the pages these days aren't we?!

It's Friday!
 

Hey, thanks for the nice welcoming!

So, it's friday and I feel in good spirits. I have my two girls who are on their last day of vacation before they go to school on Mon. Were off to the beach to meet a friend. :dancer:

I'm doing pretty good with my points. I have 35 FP left until Wed. Let's see how we do during the weekend. It's funny, but I think the reason I'm sticking to this whole way of eating is because I have to go to WI with my three friends. So far both of them have lost about 20 lbs. each. They've been going to WW for 16wk. I'm only starting my third week.

Keep positive and lets have a great Fri. girls!!!!! :cb:

:wave:

Myrna

Hey chicks!

Kim- Have you seen the recipe for cake where you add soda to it. I bought a milk chocolate cake and im going to add diet coke to it. Its a WW thing so you may not be able to have it. Not sure.

Mel- Maybe you could try the cake too...whats with all the chocolate cravings?? It seems like we're all in sync.

Myrna- Welcome to the boards. You doing the Flex or Core program?

Kery- Im not too sure how far you are behind me.

GoddessKimj- Woah! Thats alot of estrogen!

Karen- How are you girl? Y'all still using that grill?

Dina- You'll get back on that wagon! Just move on and do better :)

Ok, it was an awesome day here. We took the rescue kitty to a petshop. I was crying. Found a bird that I want while we were there. I swear, I need to go to meetings for my obssession with animals.
The diet actually went well today. Im having very bad sleeping problems so that doesnt help. I was up til 3am last night. Im going to try to go to sleep earlier tonight though. I used to drink those Carnation drinks in the mornings when I was little. I even had my mom send me some. Today, the grocery store got some in. YAY! It was $14 for 22 packets. WOWZER.
I bought some new nose rings today so Im excited about that. Other, than that its been pretty dull today.
Ok, I will check in later.

Love,
Deanne

chocolate cake and soda are definately not on the south beach diet. No sugars at all for 2 weeks so anything like the prepackaged cake will have tons of sugars in it. I have tried those before though and the cakes are great.
Kim and I had a delay in our walk this morning. It was raining like crazy when we were about to go. We sat around and drank coffee (with no sugar) and talked until it stopped. But boy oh boy was it chilly when we got out there. I think it made us walk faster lol. I came home and had some eggs and turkey bacon and now i'm trying to warm up.

Hey Soccergirl! Hope you have a wonderful day as well. It was raining this morning by the time Kim and I went to walk, so we hung out, drank coffee and as soon as it quit, we walked. It is chilly today and the wind was blowing. Kim said she figured that a little wind resistance for us! Positive thinking on her part I would say! Anyway, we did it.
Deanne, I am still having a craving for chocolate. I know I can't do the cake thing on SBD, but there has to be something!!!! I may do the brownies again, but try to fix what was obviously wrong. They sure did look and smell good though, didn't they Kim? YUCK! :yikes: Oh, Deanne,You may need therapy girl! You are addicted to those animals aren't ya! I wish that was all I was addicted to! HEHE!
Myrna, let your friends be your motivation, that is awesome! Way to go! Keep it up! Lots of Flexpoints to have on stand by! WoooHoo!
Dina, Girl, pick yourself up and get back on the wagon. Every day you don't you will beat yourself up. Don't beat yourself up! :rollpin: Just pick yourself up and start again!
Karen and Lynn - Hope you are all doing good and reaching those goals.
WE CAN DO IT!!!!!!!!! :cheer: Each day that goes by, we are one day closer to summer!
Kim

OMG I just drank some chocolate milk. Ok so I made it with sugar free nestles quick, but it tastes just like the stuff the kids drink. I even made it with skim milk but I'm soooo in heaven lol.. funny how little things make us happy when we're old and dieting!!
