i think our dream val would b to live on a big farm in the sticks.. with lots of barns for all the kitties who need homes...

my third cat Mallie i ended up adopting becuz she was the ugliest kitten u have ever seen sharp thin face ... huge ears.. but the prettiest emerald eyes u have ever seen.. i stopped at pet smart one day and just my luck it was adoption day!! i know i should have turned around when i saw that... but there she was and everyone was ooo and ahhing over all the prettiest kittens and no was picking her up or even looking at her...

i pick her up and she is purring so loud and so sweet... i put her back down cuz i know i have 2 at home..i really dont need 3 cats! drive home ( 40 miles) get back in the car ... drive back 40 miles.. find out yes she has been spayed has all her shots... say to myself o well whats 1 more...

and ya know whatas she grew her face filled out... and she grew into her ears and she is a beauty now! the skinny little ugly duckling is now a 18 lb swann!!

Curly that was sweet you adopted the "ugly" kitten. I had a couple torties last time that no one wanted. They weren't at cute as the other kittens. I was lucky to find someone that thought they were beautiful

My meal out went well. I didn't have any bread even though I was just about dying watching people slather butter on the crusty slices.

Hi ya Pic's!!!

Valerie....WTG....avoiding the bread while all the time your mouth is watering? thats a tough one, BUT YOU DID IT!!!

Iwmonn......Glad to hear that your workouts are doing so well, my goodness you sound so PUMPED!!! Good luck with your weigh in!!

Curly......haha, your farm and barn story.....my little cat who's 18yo, was from a farm, and she's still strong as ever. Something to be said for those mouser's. who knew?

Petra.....How are you doing? legs okay now? You must be swamped at work, we miss you!

dang it,i can not get below 246, i have been here forever it seems like. i can not even lose a pound.i am frustrated.

WOW .. that sounds so familiar... sounds just like me a few months ago!! try zig-zagging your calories one day a bit lower, one day a bit higher, change up your type or length of exercise... just hang in there .. the scale will eventually move... doesnt feel like it some days but it will... Its just your body waiting to see if u are gonna give up!!

also try zig zagging your carbs, add a few xtra and then cut back

Charlie ....hang in there GF!!! You are doing so well!!! It is frustrating and we've all been there believe me.....try Curly's suggestions. I do the same thing, zig zag my calories up and down all week. On a positive note....YOU MADE YOUR VALENTINES CHALLENGE....EARLY, I MIGHT ADD!!!!

that is a good idea,thanks.thats funny,i like that about it's my body waiting to see if i want to give up

Yeah Charlie, Hang in there. My old bod is trying to outwait me again, but it is not going to win. I am a little over half way to goal and I plan to keep at it!

zoey

From MIA to AWOL..that's me. Well...Since January 1 I have lost 11 pounds. Not bad if I do say so myself. I take 2 water pills and Metformin now, and I walk the steps All 10 flights.

Looks like you all are doing FANTASTIC so far. I need to read and read and read some more to catch up...so far there is something about vanilla and a tortie cat..but I'll get there and post to you all.

Just wanted to send out to all.
Take care of you all.
P.s. CURLYLOCKS }}} Thank you for again for my dragonfly. I know how to get it to flap its wings and sparkle now!!

woohoo....congratulations L2L !!! 11 lbs is awesome!! PLease come back and post more....we miss you!!!

L2L !! {wave} nice to see u back!!! sounds like u are doing a great job! 10 flights of stairs ... wooooo!

Hi Everyone!

Charlie I agree with zigzagging the calories. You don't want your body to get to use to anything!

L2L congrats on the 11 pounds Keep it up!

I didn't get the kitten again today. It was having trouble breathing this morning after it's spaying surgery yesterday so they're watching it to see if it gets discharge which would mean a viral infection. I hope to get her tomorrow.

I was good with my eating today. I've been feeling a bit under the weather. My hubby has been sick all week so hopefully I don't get what he has!

Keep up the good job ((everyone))

how is eveyone today? we are expected to get at least 5 inches of snow ,yippie!! i can't wait.i love the snow.bring it on!!

they are calling for 6-10 here this weekend! my self... i was ready for spring!!! lol

I don't think we have any snow in the forecast. I'm just pleased to announce that I bought a pair of Levi's in Misses 18. I don't know how that compares to women's sizes, but it beats the 22's and 24's I've been wearing around. That and they were on sale! This is just the boost that I need to keep myself motivated.
