Hey ladies, I don't have much time to post, I'll definitely be back later when I have calmed down. I was in a wreck today when I was taking my friend home - my bumper is pretty messed up, but other than that both cars are fine. I banged my knee on something when we hit and he just hit his head on the top of the car but we're both fine, just a little shook up. I guess exercise is out of the question because my knee is very bruised! I'm just glad it wasn't worse.

No news from the college yet.. I'm betting I'll find out tomorrow.

Catherine - I really hope things simmer down for you guys soon. You're in my thoughts and prayers.

Mo - too funny about throwing the meals on the floor!! A store here is also having a frozen food blow-out this month. 50% off on most things.

Hey girls! I've been away from computer for awhile so I haven't been able to keep up. I haven't really felt all that great lately. Not sick or anything. Just a little under the weather. The hubby and I have been arguing none stop lately. I've been eating like there's no tomorrow. I have still managed to excercise though. I haven't been using my eliptical but I've been taking the boys for walks. I thought I would do something nice for them yesterday and take them to the zoo. At first they were excited and then my oldest said he wanted to go to Chucky Cheese. I tried to explain to them that I can't take them there by myself cause they won't stay together and I can't keep an eye on all of them. Well he got mad and had one of his flip out sessions so I loaded them in the van and took them for a drive to go to sleep. I've also been a little depressed cause I found out 2 of my friends are pregnant and it makes me really wish I hadn't had a tubal. I know it was for the best though. I just really want a little girl. I have 3 little boys and they're all turning out like their dad. None of them listen to me and they talk back. I just want a little girl in the house to mix things up a bit. Any way I don't really have time to read much to catch up so I hope all is well. I haven't lost anything but I've managed to not gain anything back.

Hey ladies! I'm doing better today. My knee feels a lot better and I was just a little sore when I woke up this morning. I'm going to try to do an hour of DDR later if my knee will hold up. No news from the college YET - I'm getting impatient!

I need to catch up on posts, be back later or tomorrow for personals.

Hi ladies:

Serena: sorry you didn't get to the zoo that would have been nice. Now that the oldest didn't get to go to Chucky Cheese or the zoo, maybe he'll think twice next time.

Katie: glad you're feeling better today, take it easy on DDR, I can't make it past beginner on that thing!

Nori: Will we be getting a new haircut picture?!

DG: thanks for stopping by, we miss you.

Catherine: I hope things are getting better there.

Sarah: Where are you moving again? South Carolina?

Well, I was home all day with the kids yesterday because DH was out working. I over did it in the cookie department I just can't stay home all day, I'll be 500 lbs. Today we're going to the store after church and visiting DH where he's working. His friend bought a house and they're trying to fix it up to rent or sell and the guy is in a hurry to get it done because it's a beach house.

B: 2 granola bars L: ham sandwich 2 cookies D: spaghetti & more cookies!
Points: about 30? Exercise: none Water: none

I tried to sew yesterday (a cover for an old ottoman). Boy do I stink!! I'm using it anyway but if you look close boy did I mess it up. DD made a pillow, we went to a consignment store and bought old silk scarves for a dollar or two. She's going to make some doll clothes today I think.

Well, my hair is drying, I've got to go blowdry. Talk to you girls tonight or tomorrow.

Mo

We did make it to the Swamp Saturday. It was made a national park a year or 2 ago so it's a pretty nice place. The boys enjoyed it and we walked around for about 2 hours. I was pushing the double stroller so I got the most excercise. I'm still eating like a pig but I have managed to stay active which helps.

[purplepansy912]

Katie~ sorry to hear bout your accident.. hope all is well..
I walked three miles today and it felt soo good. I'm alil tired now...

[MoNewEngland]

Good morning ladies:

I hope we have everyone check in today, let's get the gang all here!

Well I lost 2 lbs this week (I was surprised actually because of my run in with cookies, cake and hardly any exercise) but hey, I'll take it. I am SOOOOO close to "one"derland, I can taste it!

Serena, glad you got your walk in, was the weather nice?

B: nothing L: ate 1/2 of a kids portion of fried clam strips, 2 french fries, 1 onion ring (I treated the kids to lunch because they put up with me at the Goodwill store for more than an hour!) S: 3 SF mint milanos D: pot roast, potatoes, carrots Points: ?? Water: None Exer: None

I am geared up now to be good for the next four days. The weekend will be hard, especially because DH says he's going off the diet for a couple of days to treat himself. He's lost more than me so he can afford to. I'll just try to make smart choices.

Have a great week. I'm off to change my weight (can't wait to start it with a "1"!!)

[purplepansy912]

walked for 46 mins 2.38miles.. I remember running a 10 min mile.. I hope one day I can be there again....
hope all is well with everyone..( noshing on an apple)

[Nori71]

Fly-by post here!

Lost 2 poundshere too. Yeah, Mo! We both have only 1 pound to get to our mini goals now!! Want to race?

I'll post a haircut pic. I don't like how she layered it on the ends. She used scissors instead of a razor. They always used razors in Seattle? Blends better I think. Oh well...it's grow...

Sorry no personals. I've got so much to do today. Going through all the girls clothes and putting away what doesn't fit and trying to figure out what I need for summer. Luckily my 11 month old is about the size that my 2 year old was last summer, so she'll fit into a lot of those clothes!! But the 2 year old need new everything. Actually not NEW - I think I'll get her a few new outfits and the secondhand store it for play clothes. She gets so dirty outside. I have a whole summer wardrobe in 14/16's and those should fit me fine this summer since I'm very comfy in my 18's-XL's right now.

[MoNewEngland]

Nori: You're on! I'm on my way!

This weekend I was in the attic and I found two pairs of my favorite Ralph Lauren "skinny" shorts in a size 14 that I wore a couple of years ago after Atkins. Actually this time around, I've been a little discouraged because I'm still wearing an 18 jean. They're looser than they were but I can't wait to get down to a 14 and can wear my summer clothes from two years ago.

I just noticed, I did our mini goal really based on me, I can't believe DH stuck with it and is on track to reach his goal too!

My siggy is too big, I think I'll take off DH's goal (he won't care) and add a long term goal for myself. I'm actually drinking water today, which is increasing my walking (to the bathroom!).

[Nori71]

OK, MO!!! I am hoping that I'll be there in a day or two. I've been at 236 for about 5 days now. I seem to be "sticking" at a certain weight for a few days and then releasing 1-2 pounds suddenly and then staying there for another week or so. I don't care how my body decides to give up this darn fat, as long as it keeps doing it.

[Katie Bug]

Hey ladies! I weighed in yesterday at 162. I was surprised because I barely worked out last week. I did make good food choices though. Hey, I'll take it!

A few NSV's.. I've always worn XL belts, but I'm going to have to buy a new belt soon - I'm on the tightest hole now I can also see my hip bones poking out on the front of my body - I've never seen that before. I'm also noticing increasing interest from the opposite sex.. I do have a boyfriend (we've been dating 3+ years) but it's always nice to get attention!

Mo and Nori, you guys are so close to your mini goal weights! That's awesome!

Curvy Vixen - It is totally possible to get back to that 10 minute mile.. Just keep working at it!

[dgpebbles]

Hello everyone..well I was down 2.4lbs today..i guess the gym is really helping...

Maureen - congrats on the 2lbs...You can do it this weekend...I have to watch my 18 yr old eat all kinds of things but you just have to say no and and watch what you eat & amounts...Just remember onederland is right there waiting for you.

Vixen - you will be at 10 min mile in no time..it just takes practice...I started at the gym 2 weeks ago and could only do 3 mins on the elliptical the first time and yesterday i did 65 mins...just keep pushing

nori - way to go on your 2lbs loss...keep it up
