Hi all!

Thanks for inviting me over here Mom2Gaby!

Yeah...I'm back in kindergarten too! :( Actually went back to kindergarten a few weeks ago...just didn't know it yet. :D

:welcome2: Bep!!! lol So funny!! Glad to have you here!! Congrats on the 25 pounds!!!!

Deb I am 5'4,big bone....I think I would look good at 145/150. I can wear 8's jeans at that weight. I wear 9 extra wide shoes.....yikes.....

I wear size 12 jeans now though I can squeeze into 10's depending on the brand (ok.....I am just saying that because it makes me feel better - lol though Eddie Bauer jeans are big in size!!). At my heaviest I was wearing 22/24 jeans.

Appt!! better get!!!................welcome again Bep!!:D

Jules ~~ It's really horrible how the MIL is! My gosh, she encourages the flirting, which can lead to very bad behavior!:dizzy:

Susan ~~ It's okay...you are forgiven LOL! I was just a little confused; I thought you also had a son or maybe old boyfriend names Josh.;)

Deb ~~ I'm 5'4" and large framed, I wear a size 8 wide shoes, and my bra size is just HUGE!:D

:welcome: :welcome3: BEP ~~ Glad you could join this nice fun group of ladies here! You have done really good with your 25 pound weight loss!:dancer: :flow2: :cheer:

Michelle I don't think I have ever had a boyfriend named Josh:dunno: lol....I have had a Tom, Doug, Mike and Rocky....the main guys in my life......that is my story and I am sticking to it!!!:carrot:

Eating lunch at my desk - turkey salad.

Spoke with CS lady. She is very nice......she spoke with Mike today and he is sending $10. He has said this before so no one believes him -*roll eyes*

anyway......have a lock out!! what a bother....I am eating!! ugh *&%$#@

Hello ladies...

Have a little bit of time and thought I would check in. What a morning...but I got a lot accomplished. Went to Wally World, came home watered the back yard, mowed the front after I put the groceries up. Then had to run to the mall to look for a pitcure, found one, went to Penneys to return some more stuff. Actually, I bought V some jeans and I got the wrong inseam and of course they don't have them any longer than 32 which is what I bought knowing he needed 34 longs. Then those ugly curtains that matched the comforter set I took back. We painted the bedroom a sage green and boy, is it different. So this new comforter was icky and I took it a back and ordered a different one. Think it will work much better. Then had to run DS#1 to V's work to pick up his truck so he can drive it to work at 2:30, he's closing tonight and who knows when he will get home. So that means I have to pick V up from work at 3:00. Like I said what a morning! Oh, and I managed a 2 mile walk as well! And now I am ready for bed!

SUSAN...don't fret over the post. You kind of confused me too. I started reading and thought, what the heck? Then realized it was my post, lol! Bet Rachel is excited about coming home tomorrow. Hopefully she learned something while gone and will straighten up.

DEB...I am 5' 6" and depending on the clothes as to what size I wear. I can wear a XL in regular sizes in tops and some pants, like sweat pant type pants. But I usually buy a 1x shirt (trying to get away from that though, makes me look more frumpy and fatter) and a 16-18 in pants. I also wear a 9 1/2-10 shoe, depending on the shoe. Just bought some NB shoes in a size 10 and thongs wear a 10 but other shoes I usually get a 9 1/2. Bra size 38C-40C, again depending on the bra. Right now I am aiming for 155-160 and feel that is a comfortable weight for me. And I am big boned/framed also. Your lunch sounds so delicious! :T

Hi BEP and WELCOME! :welcome:

GINNY...it is going to be very hard when Josh leaves because I know I won't see him next for at least 9 months. :( :cry: I don't handle good-byes well ever since losing DH#1. And I know I will be in tears when I take him to the airport. I try not to cry while there with him but do a little. But when I get in the car, geez the flood gates open. How is your Josh's back? Did he ever get help with the costs/bills?

KATHY...you are welcome for the card. Josh will only be home for 2 weeks :( Then he is back to Hawaii and then off to Iraq :cry: Did the little one end up having chicken pox after all?

Okay, ladies sorry for cutting this short. Wanted to go post elsewhere and my time is running out. Have a couple of things to get done before I go get V and really don't have much time to do it....argh! So...

HI to everyone else, MICHELLE, KATY, JULES, SHAWNA and anyone I may have missed.

I'll try to get on tomorrow for sure, sometime. I have got to get this house clean! So until then...EVERYONE have a GREAT day!

Real quick to join in on Deb's question...(and to say welcome to Bep) (and to tell michelle ma belle that I LOVE Hello Kitty) (and hi all others)

Here goes....
W - 210 H - 5' 5 & 3/4"
(it's a joke around our house-my Mom is exactly 5'6" and now my 18 year old daughter grew an inch in the last year and she is 5'6" too....)

I'd say I am an hourglass figure 46-36-47 tend to lose chest & waist first and the dreaded hiefer hips last
I weighed 125-130 up until my second child and measured 36-26-36. I will be happy with 140 to 150 pounds not worried about getting any lower--after Dad telling me I was fat I did the jack & pill diet and got down to 115--looked terrible--I am definitely not small boned!!!

Tops I wear L-XL-1x depending material and cut-pants are any where from 16(if reeaaally stretchy) to a 20 -again depending on material and cut. I always have had a hard time finding a pair of jeans that fit right-they either fit my waist or my hips--the best I have found is women's Levi's even when I was in a 9/10....shoe size 8

Jules ~~ THANK YOU for the cute card! You are SO sweet and made my day!;) :hug:

Cristi lol .....hope you can relax once Josh gets here!! A lot of zooming around this morning for you!! I stayed up until 1am hanging clothes and doing laundry. Gaby and I were out the door at 7 am, Starbucks, checking her bus (she HAS to do this everytime we go that way..lol) went to Freddies picked up Atkins, banana's, turkey. McDonalds for Gabys breakfast, to the sitter (11 miles away) and on to Rach and that appt. Was sooooooooo mad. I was suppose to go plan a company picnic but said "what the heck??".....I have enough going on with beach trips and safety committees and camp.....pooh.....and now I am at work!! Amazing how that happens every day!! lol

Jules What am I if I am heavier on the top and smaller on the bottom??? I don't really have a waist.......kind of a blob shape:shrug:

MichelleHi :wave: a lot cooler today, huh?? Hope you are having a good day!

Think I will go for a quick walk around the block!! Chat later.

:wel3fc: :welcome: :welcome3: CHIMARA ~~ This is a GREAT group and you're welcome anytime!;)

Chimara--Welcome and jump right in!!

Michelle ma belle- your welcome

*pant*pant*pant:drool: :drool: Ok, I made it around the block 3 times....out of shape, sad sight. I really need to step on my exercising!! Any tips on how I can do that with a 4 year old?? I would love to get out early in the morning and take a 3 mile walk but don't want to drag her outside at 6 am....any thoughts??

edited for Jules Hey!! I want my card!! I don't have time to go looking on other forums...lol... I will just say I am an upside down pear...lol :) You having a good day?? Rach is coming home tomorrow!! Scared to death,,,,,lol

Susan ~~ Have you ever tried the WATP videos that you do in your own home? I highly recommend these and they are what I only use right now. I have about 12-13 dvds and they're great!:carrot:
