Cassy,,,I have never heard of that,,,possibly only available in the states. I was sad to see them loose...my boy is almost done. I did mention Im distantly related to him right?

Amanda Mae,,,that is fantastic to have now dropped 16 lbs. People have got to be noticing....

Barbra, nah Im no hockey fantic...believe me! I like th Wings cause of a relative but I think I would actually raither go to a football game...but I don't know anything about CFL Or NFL just local football...

hey Angie Girl!! Actually It Is All Over The World!! If You Go To Mesocanada.com You Will Be Able To Find More Info About It Over The Water! I Was Surprised How Many Local Associations There Are!

amanda Mae... That Is A Really Good Way Of Making Sure That You Follow The Plan. The More You Repeat What Is Done And Be A Fanatic About It The Better It Is. Thanks For The Support As Always Suge

I Am Starting To Be That Way About Working Out. I Am Obsessing Over It. I Was Depressed This Morning And I Did Was An Addict Does, I Went To Get Food To Fill That Craving-taco Bell Was The Drug Of Choice. So Ate It And Did Not Enjoy It-but Ate It Anyway. I Went To Sleep. When I Woke Up I Instantly Thought About Working Out. I Got Up Went To The Gym And Did The Elipitical For 40min And Lifted On My Legs. Then I Went Home. But It Felt So Routine I Didnt Really Seem That I Made An Extra Effort-which Is Huge For Me! I Just Hope That I Can To Keep It Up! I Have So Much To Work On Ladies, So Many Problem Areas, So Many Short Term Goals.

I Am Seeing Changes But It Is Not Nearly Enough, Not Nearly As Fast You Know.. I Know What You All Are Saying(baby Steps) But I Just Want To Really Do This For 2006 More Than Ever.

My Sis Is Doing Really Well With Tj Too.. She Is Down 3 Sizes. She Is My Idol Too Amanda

REGINA .. WHERE ARE YOU SUGA??

Cassy,,,ELLO...gonna go and check out that mesocanada site...thanks! Ya know sometimes eating that lil bit of junk can make your body feel so bad that you don't want to do it again for awhile. I want to be there again. I do the stupid binge eat,,,eat clean for days,,,binge,,,then starve and start over. *sigh something other then my mouth needs to get some control.
I have a Body For Life book that I followed faithfully for years and did so well with,,,after getting hurt,,bruising the heck out of my ankle,,deep tissue damage. Tearing the rotary (sp) cuff in my shoulder then breaking my foot,,I think its time to take a break from all my trips to the ER and get down to loosing some weight. I know its all there,,,Im just scared. I had such will power,,,such drive. Not sure if I have what it takes to do it again...
But will try...would raither try and fail then fail to try....my new motto

Amanda Mae - congratulations on the 3 lbs lost. You'll have to post that bikini picture - are you the one going to Toby Keith?

Amanda Mae,,,you go girl! You have it going on...
Im so jealous over Toby Keith! Seriously I have this umm crush on him...*giggle
I just bought Josh Turner's cd,,,love that one song Your Man.

I ate clean today,,,water included! I bought the new 3FC book,,,what a great read. I laughed a few times,,,cause man I can so relate to what they are saying.

I was feeling so moody over the fact of having to wait a full 4-5 months till I saw Dr. McKenna,,,then thought,,,well Ang,,,it took you how long to gain this weight? It kinda snapped me out of the funk...I am done with my theatre stuff,,,which i am happy about. Cleaned the house all day Sunday, the basement is even cleaned as best as we can...feeling more on top of things so that makes for the personal stuff (dieting) so much easier to work around. I tend to feel overwhelmed when the house is a wreck.

Im working full time again...for the next two months,,,get July half time then full time till end of Oct.

HELLO MY SISTA'S!!!!!

OK I AM OUT OF ORDER FOR NOT CHECKING IN MORE OFTEN. HOW ARE ALL MY SISTA'S DOING. MY GIRL REGINA IS RIGHT, THE POSTS ARE LIGHT. I THINK WE SHOULD DO A PM TO ALL THE WAYWARD SISTAS ENCOURAGING THEM TO CHECK IN. IF THEY DONT RESPOND THAT WOULD BE COOL TOO-IF WE SUPPORTED THEM FOR THE LITTLE TIME THEY STOPPED THRU THEN WE SERVED OUR PURPOSE.

I AM UP TO THE CHALLENGE TOO, I THINK OK DARN IT, I AM IN!!! YOU CONVINCED ME! I NOW DRINK AT LEAST AN ASTONISHING 112 OUNCES A DAY! I NEED TO GET MORE NUTRIENTS THOUGH, BUYING A MULTIVITAMIN THIS WEEK.

AMANDA..YOU ROCK SISTA! I AM SO PROUD OF YOU!

ANGIE... YOU ARE SO RIGHT GIRL.. IT DID NOT COME ON YOU OVERNIGHT. THE HARDEST THING TO HAVE IS PATIENCE THRU ALL THIS. I WAS THINKING ABOUT GOING TO CHICAGO TO SEE THIS DOCTOR MEHMET OZ AND DR. ROSEN FROM THIS EPISODE ON OPRAH. THE WORTE THIS BOOK THAT HAS OPENED MY EYES TO SO MUCH HORRIBLENESS THAT I PUT IN MY BODY. THEIR BOOK IS CALLED- YOU: THE OWNERS MANUAL.

OK DARLINGS I HAVE TO GO NOW.. I WILL HOLLA BACK TOMMOROW (PROMISE)

A challenge sounds good - water and report losses/gains? No exercise involved! I'm in!

O.K do you have a magical secret that we aren't aware of that one can lose weight without exercising because I want to know it like now chickie... Please I'll be your friend. Basically the challenge is do what you need to succeed in the game. I am not going to lay down any rules because I don't want people feeling discouraged, flustered, etc. are you feeling me. I want everybody to go at there own pace without feeling any pressure. I am going to PM the other sistas to see how they are all doing.

I'm am a slacker sistas' :O( My most sincerest apologies!! I got so caught up with doin' a 30 day challenge with the members of my local gym,, I just lost track of time... I was exercising in every available moment of spare time,, I was determined to not be the biggest failure!! The 30 days was over last week :O) I won first prize, I'm the biggest loser at my gym!! Now I need a new challenge to get my butt back into gear... I lost twelve and 3/4 inches all over and 13 pounds,, I had a stomach flu and strep throat for 10 days though and I'm still ticked off 'cuz I just imagine how much more I could've lost if I hadnt been such a wussy and stayed in bed so much!! So now I'm back to being a lazy bum, sittin' on my butt and playing on the internet :O) I need some motivation really bad, before I gain back all I worked so hard to lose....I really feel bad for abandoning everyone here :O( I avoided the computer alot 'cuz I tend to get lost on the internet for hours on end and I found it was easier for me to not even turn it on!! Please don't hold my weakness against me forever :O) I'll be a good buddy, I promise ....

GoofyGirl - i was referring to ADDITIONAL exercise not being part of this particular challenge. PM the others to see how they are doing? if your goal was to make me feel like the idiot outsider, you've reached your goal!
Thanks for the for support
