Well Karen! You go girl! How fun! I would love to do that, but I can't sing a lick! I am horrible! Plus, I am not that brave. I think that is great! Shake your groove thing girl. :dance: You must have gotten some good exercise!

I am doing great on my diet...I think. Like it was posted earlier....there is sugar in EVERYTHING!!!!!! The chocolate milk with SF Nestle has helped though. I haven't gotten the guts up to try the brownies again.

Well, here is Mississippi, the allergies are AWFUL! I have problems in the fall and the spring is miserable. I took allergy shots for 5 years..and I still am miserable. Watery and Itchy eyes, Itchy throat, and can't quit sneezing. When Kim and I go on our walks, I have to take extra tissue. It is bad here.
So I sympathize with all of you allergy sufferers. BLESS YOU....HEHE

Lynn, just curious..what kind of chocolate did you have? YUM!

Dina, nice place! You will have a blast. My hubby and I are taking a long weekend in the mountains in July. Our cabin is sooooo cute. Something else to lose weight for........It would be nice to feel sexy again! I can't imagine!

Oh well, here is wishing you all a wonderful weekend...AND BE GOOD! :tread:
Kim

choc kisses!!! mmmmmmm had four of them..

wow karen...not only a vixen but a singing vixen.. wtg!

Good afternoon ladies. How is everyone today. Glorious weather to report in Mississippi and since I don't suffer from allergies I'm actually enjoying our spring. Now when the yard work starts I'll be hating life lol. I went out on a date with my hubby last night and managed to stick on plan.. woo hoo...I was one of those dorky people that bring their own salad dressing to a resturant so I wouldn't have to eat what they had there lol. I avoided all bad foods and even went to starbucks and ordered a caffee late with non fat milk.. no sugar... Now that diet coke i drank last night didn't taste so great but at least its on my diet...

Hello all!
I would like to tell everyone congrats on their will power ...... whether it is keeping on their diet, excersicing, or going *back* to their diet.

I have been excercising. As for my diet...well, not so great. But I did get rid of all that evil Easter candy and for the last several days I have been able to break my awful 3pm eat fest. Yes, just me and Dr Phil (baby is napping) and popcorn, pop, cookies whatever I can dig up lol!

So, baby steps for me this week, but its a heck of a lot better than what I have been doing.

Happy Saturday, girls!

backtome - Nothing wrong with baby steps! I have spent the last 9 years going backwards. There is alot to be said for baby steps. Good for you! ;)
Kim

Hey girls...wow I missed alot. Nic was supposed to work yesterday but got the night off. So, we hung out at the house and did absolutely NOTHING. It was great.
Things are ok here. The weather is awesome! The diet however is just ok. Im trying to get back on track but just cant seem to. Being bipolar has its ups and downs as far as dieting goes. If I get depressed, I gain. If Im manic, i lose ALOT. So, I have made a promise to myself to do better. Much better. I need to lose this excess weight.

Anyway, I have my Slimfast in the fridge for breakfast. I have my goals printed up. I WILL do better.

Ok girls, I will check in later. The hubby gets home early...probably in about 30 minutes. So, I may not be checking in later :)

Love,
Deanne

Oh Karen...you go girl!! Goodness...sounds like you had a great time!! Hot mama!! Good for you. Exercise in disguise :)

Love,
Deanne

Lynn- I love your avatar!! I meant to tell you I changed my email address to [email protected]. The other one was getting all this spam mail. Everytime I tried to block it, it would come from different addresses. Oh, hows it going with your daughter and mike(?)?

Love,
Deanne

Good evening ladies....

I don't have much time, but wanted to check in and let you all know I was thinking about you. I have to get caught up on some homework--and am feeling really sleepy so it will be a challenge. But I gotta get motivated...in more ways then one. I have been in good spirits mentally, but have done some bad things (eating wise) while out running around with my family. But I have had plenty of exercise with all the walking as I have hardly sat still this weekend. Only one time did I sit really, when I went to go see "Meet the Fockers" at the cheap theater in town. Cute flick, by the way! So maybe all the acitivty will make up for some of my bad choices this weekend. I wasn't bad the whole weekend--but I went a little overboard when I went out to eat on Friday with my family to a buffet. By the time we got there I was starving--and that is never a good thing! I need to eat my mid-morning and afternoon snacks to get back to a good rhythm. Othewise, I end up feeling like I can eat a house from waiting too long. Ugh! It makes me feel like a failure when I go off track like that, especially since I was challenging myself to be good this week! Bad, bad, bad! Lynn~you can yell at me this time! It's my turn!

Alrighty gals, I need to get back to studying...before I pass out on my keyboard!

Ciao bellas!

Hey ladies,
My computer just finished defragging...I've been doing it since Tuesday night...YEAAAAH, ok, on to better things, I didn't work out today, but I did work out five days this week and of course weight trained every other day. I am so sleepy right now, but I have to do laundry...because I don't have any workout clothes left, LOL.

I seem to be pretty bad on weekends, I don't seem to drink as much water and I am not getting as much exercise and I eat more...oh yeah, thats a good combination. My graduation is coming up pretty soon...I am excited and yet oh so very nervous.

Kim, oh my goodness, what are you allergic to? We have some of the worse allergiens out here in Oregon. It's the grass seed capital of the world, has plenty of trees and lots of mold!

Karen, I loved Meet the Fockers...it was so funny!

WOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I weighed in this morning. I was 164.7 ( i round off for the tracker) Not bad for one week on South Beach!! It makes all the world of difference to see the numbers move even if its just a bit. Ok, giving up sugar wasnt the hardest thing i've done in my life, but it's not the easiest either considering everything at the grocery store has sugar in it. BUT now i can say it's worth the effort. I'm going out for my walk with Kim this morning then off the quote a job. I'll check back in after that.

I did it!!!
 

whoooo hooooo! I lost 5 pounds!!!!!!!!!!! :cb: :dance: :dancer: :encore: :cheer: :goodscale
I am so excited and motivated! Kim and I even took a little longer walk today with another Mt Everest hill! I know the first 2 weeks on SBD is the quickest loss, but that is all it takes, is losing a few pounds to really get me going.

Universityprincess, honestly, there isn't much I am not allergic to. When I had the test done several years ago, I was allergic to 80% of everything they tested. The only difference I see with the shots I took for 5 years is that now summer is more bareable. At least when there is noone cutting grass nearby. I can't cut the yard at all. I am really looking forward to summer though.

Well, I am off to help my hubby paint, he is off from his regular job and his aunt needs a rental house painted. I thought I would help him a little.
I will post back later!
I DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kim
