Good afternoon Lovelies.
I was just thinking that one of the things I love most about our group is that when newer people come, the transition is seamless. When I came along, I think you guys were into the second week, and I immediately felt at home. You all are so, so special. I'm really blessed to be a part of this.
Liz - Girl you're literally working your hiney off with all that walking. You're doing such a great job.
I would love to visit Chicago again. I haven't been since I was 10 or 11. That's really ridiculous considering that I only live about 5 hours away. I'm really kicking myself for not having done any traveling over the summer.
I can't wait for you to knock em dead at the reunion! If you really want to stick it to them, pretend like you don't remember their names or who they are.
Melissa - I'm sorry to hear about the scale. I have a new scale coming this week, so it's possible that we'll find ourselves in the same boat. The scale at the doctor's is always 5 - 7 pounds more too. And that's with my shoes off. *Sigh*.... Damn numbers!
Chin up, Sweetie. That still doesn't negate the success you've had so far.
Sapphire - I'm sorry to hear about all the bad news. Good grief! When it rains it pours. One of cousins died last Friday of AIDS. She was only 6 months older than I. She and I were not close. Honestly, I really can't say I cared for her all that much, but it's really sad when someone dies way before it's time. It's tragic. My heart definitely goes out to you.
It's not strange at all that you prefer to exercise with a group. That's what keeps some people motivated. You should do whatever keeps you motivated and is fun.
Mia - Fear not chicky! You'll be done with those maternity shirts soon enough! We'll have nothing but success stories around here. I really believe we will all reach our goals. Even if I reach mine before some other people, I'm going to stick around to help everyone see this through. And help celebrate the success stories.
Kandice - I guess I'd have to say that my family, esp my parents, have brought me down in the past. I say the past because I just don't allow them to have that kind of power over me anymore. The last time my father said something rude to me I just told him to mind is own business. Disrespectful, I know. But I've just about had all I'm gonna take. 33 years is long enough.
The problem I'm encountering now (that 3 people have taken notice of my loss) is people trying to discourage me from me goal. They want to tell me what's "good enough". I think I'm at the point where I want to politely let some people know that I have a goal in mind, but I'm going to keep it to myself.
Needhelp - I know what you mean about those Iced Cappuccinos! I have craved those things more than anything else.
Hey, great job on turning down the apple pie.
I know what you mean about the gene pool. I have all those same ailments in my family. We're literally fighting for our lives aren't we?
Bonnie - Yes, get rid of the Skittles!!!
Harvey Walden is the drill sargeant on Celebrity Fit Club. He's hilarious! The thing about him is that you either love him or hate him. Personally, I love him, but I can see why other people would feel differently. He's probably partly deranged.
He has a great fitness video though. The quality is a little cheesy, but the work out is good. Well it
looks good. I've not done it yet. I've only watched it and I think it will give me the type of challenge I've been wanting.
BTW, who is that beautiful child? Is she your grandbaby?
Aqua and Liz - Angie got on my nerves too. I just knew she'd be like this. I just never dreamed it would be this bad. From an entertainment viewpoint, I love it. That's what makes reality television so great. From the view of a person trying to lose weight, though, she's infuriating. Did you hear that excuse she made for eating the sandwich? She said that she ate it because they had it there at Fit Camp. So what?? She's such a drama queen. I wonder how many more times she's going to threaten to leave before the show is over this season. I agree with you Aqua. What in the world did she think she was coming to? She had to have known that she'd be expected to eat right and exercise. She's nuts.
I love it though!!!
N2 - Awww... Thanks. You're such a sweetie. If anyone is helped by what I post, then that makes me feel good. I get so, so much from this thread. If I'm putting a little back in that makes me happy.
Right back at cha!
Sara - Congrats on the two pounds! I love your statement about loving yourself regardless of your size. I love that!
Yeah, my husband really is rather sweet to get up with me in the mornings. I've said it many times, but he really is a prince. He does a lot of nice things for me. When we first started going out it used to overwhelm me because I just wasn't used to it. I'm grateful.
Well ma'ladies, I'm gonna shut down now. I try to catch up with you later.
.I still have the Skittles on the Fridge I think I will let me girls have them when they get home from school today. It is real hard to Say no all the time But these Ladies are making it easier for me to do that. I knw what youa re saying about Kids at school . I can never remember a day going by that someone didnt tease me in school. My heart goes out to all kids or adults that gets teased Not much fun. Keep up the good work Graduation going to be here before you know it and you will great. I never had one I got married when I was 16 and Never went back to school
