Winning Losers Week of October 1st, Newbies Welcome
 

Good Morning Ladies! I got to start our next week off :) I just wanted to say that I'm proud of each and everyone one of you and glad we got a chance to meet.

Welcome to the Winning Losers for all of you who joined :) :hug:

I've been sick :( Although I havent been doing the excersizing yesterday I did have a perfect day healthy eating wise. I've acomplished all of my water goals for the week.

Kenya - Dancing is fun! I hope you have a good time with your personal trainer.

Good Morning to everyone.

I didnt make my water goal yesturday I only drank 3 of the 6 bottles. Been busy so didnt have a chance to drink alot. At least I did get some.

Melissa I hope goes well with the inlaws. I am glad that we dont have any. Both on my side and my Dh side has passed.

Amanda Yes Britt is right the dresses do run small. I forgot about that one.

Daniellle I hope all is going well with you.

Jazy Congrats and welcome to the group you will like it hear. We have some real cool ladies here and they help you with any thing. I hope that you decide to pull up a chair and stay a while .

I better be going have to fix my oatmeal and yogurt for breakfast. Catch everyone later.

I'm reposting for Jazy...our newbie!!! Here's her post from last weeks thread.

hey can i join!!
Hello everyone, my name is Jazzy. I am currently going to college f/t and working f/t so everything I do has to be planned years in advance but I am hanging in their. I work at a hospital and i am constantly walking. I knew i needed to lose some weight when I was out of breath after walking up eight steps. LOL . So, now I came back to 3ft. i was wondering if It would be cool if I could join this thread. I have been reading your previous messages(original and funny) and you all seem very nice!!!!

I am still not sure what diet I am going to start or exercise program but I am starting to eat more healthy.. I am open to any suggetions that have been working for the rest of you !!!

OMG!! I was only gonna skim through posts and wait till later to catch up with everyone but I read Liz masterpiece and OMG!!! My family thinks I'm insane because I'm literally laughing too hard! Liz, you are so amazing! I'm saving that! I'd love to choke my inlaws on their own hair!!!! Ha..thats why I dont wear pants!! I just love your sense of humor!!

:wave: Hello and welcome to our little group Jazy!!! Its so great to meet you! As far as a weightloss plan, I'm currently using Slimfast because of my schedule (I'm a student too) its just easy for me. But the name of the game is just eating less and moving more however you choose to do it. Cant wait to get to know you better and cheer you on to your success!!! You can do it and we'll all be there for you every step of the way!!

Okay everyone, I'm not ignoring you I've just got this huge accounting project I gotta get done so I'll be back in a little bit when I need another break to check in! Have a wonderful sunday!!

~melissa

P.S. Yesterday was HORRIBLE!!! My inlaws ignored dh all afternoon, barely said 2 words to him and made him feel like they were angry with him and he was nobody. They were all chatty with their other son and his wife. Laughing and having a great ol time with them. It really hurt dh alot to be treated that way. They did the same to me but i couldnt care less. And then I didnt sleep well last night because I was going over and over in my mind what I want to say to those people that are supposed to be our family. Okay enough of that!!

hi everyone checking in how are things here? well im still in new orleans i caught a stomach virus so all the weight i imagined i gained from splurging i think i lost it all because i feel 5lbs lighter keep up the good work everyone im going to get back on track starting tomorrow i got so use to watching what i eat and trying to get my water in that when i dont i do not feel good about it dani, liz, amanda where are you guys? Amanda im hoping to have a actually wedding with my hubby we got married in front of a judge on Valentines i just want to feel comfortable about my size when i go out to buy a dress welcome newbies!! can someone please do a role call so i can meet all the newbies ppleasse?

Happy Sunday Chicks! How's everyone so far today? Doing well I hope, and keeping those goals in check! Just cause it's the weekend doesn't mean we throw all our progress and what we want out the window. I know, easier said than done, huh? lol I seriously do alot better when I'm alone all week long for some reason. You'd think it'd be the other way around, would make it so easy to cheat when no one is around. Go figure! Anyone else have a hard time on the weekend staying on plan?

:welcome: Jazy!!!! It's great to have you here with us. I think you will find alot of motivation from these lovely ladies, they're all super! Whatever you decide in terms of a weight loss plan, just know that we will be here to support you and cheer you on! It's great that you're here, I hope you will just jump right in and post away! :)

Bonnie, everything's going well over here so far today. Today I'm sure you'll make that water goal! You were a busy girl yesterday that's for sure.

Sara, thanks for starting us off this week! I'm sorry you're sick. I feel ya, I had the flu that seemed to hang around for at least 3 weeks. Wasn't until middle of this last week that I actually started to feel human again. Take good care of yourself. Great job with the water! Your body definitely needs to be hydrated, so ya done good, kid! ;)

Kenya, yes, I saw your pictures and thought you looked fabu!!! Great job with everything lady, you are melting. I say stick with the dancing if it's working for you. You definitely want to be doing something you love, so I say go for it!

Mia, aw hon, sorry about the tummy troubles!! :hug: Nothing worse than getting sick when you are not able to rest in your own home. I hope you are feeling much better soon!!

Melissa, I am SO bummed to hear about last nights events. Who do these people think they are??? And to treat their own child that way? Ugh, makes me so mad! :mad: And especially because, what in the world did poor dh do to them??? The poor man has just been working his arse off taking care of his family, minding his own business. Puhleeze! These people need to get a life and wake up soon before they lose him completely. Gggrrr, I could go on and on, you know me! Most importantly, how did YOU do last night? Were you able to keep it in check and not let them get to you by eating what you didnt really want? I know mentally you were preparing yourself, but sometimes you just never know with nasty people like that. Good luck with the accounting, I'm definitely not envying you there. lol And on football day too---the horror! lol

Nothing going on here, just football day and laundry. Woo hoo! :rolleyes: Kids are on a 3 day weekend so not feeling so pressured to get things all done today, like I usually am. Hence...I'm feeling lazy! LOL Today was dh's late day to go into work so now I feel like I'm behind in everything I'd wanted to do this morning-- like workout! Darn that man! lol No, I will get to it in a bit, I know it needs to get done if I want that scale to move come Friday!

Have a terrific afternoon gang!

♥danielle

Boy I can tell you I am having a horriable day my allergies are giving me one big fit today I have done nothing but sneeze and my nose run now I feel a headache comming on so I am going to try to take me a nap. Catch up with everyone later.

ARRGGGGHHH!!!! :mad:

I typed out a message this morning and, like a bonehead, didn't click submit reply. I just closed the window. Of course a split second later I was like wth did I do? Man! That's annoying...

Liz - :lol3: You are never allowed to get sick or too busy ever again. We need your humor around here. You're just the funniest person ever. I loved your story and I'm going to keep it bookmarked for when I need a laugh. You're great.

Melissa - Those inlaws seem awful. Console yourself with the fact that you were able to honor too older people you adore. Try to get your husband to see it that way as well. I feel so sorry for him. That poor, poor man. Thankfully, though, he's got you and the girls. You all have a lovely family and you're blessed to have one another. And truthfully, although your husband might not see it this way, maybe you're blessed to not have to be bothered by his family very often. Good grief! Who needs to be treated like that??
I hope you're making great progress with your project.

:welcome: Jazy!!! :woo: We are so happy to have you here. It sounds like you're off to a good start with just making better food choices. That's about half the battle. You don't have to be on any specific plan. It's important to exercise and learn about some other plans just to tweak here and there. More than anything else, it's just important that your plan is livable.

Sara - I'm glad we got to meet you too! :D Thanks so much for getting us started. I hope you feel much better soon.

Kenya - What you've accomplished is nothing short of amazing. :bravo: Losing over a hundred pounds is a rarity.

Bonnie - Here there lady. Don't worry about the water for yesterday. Yesterday is gone. You're still golden. :) I think you're going to be hugely successful.

Danielle!! - Yeah, weekends are killer. I think because we're used to cutting loose on the weekend. Plus we're not usually on a regimine or schedule, so it makes it easier to just slack off.

Mia!! It's so sweet that you're still checking up on us even though you're out of town. I sure hope you feel better soon. It always sucks to be sick, but especially when you're supposed to be on an enjoyable vacation.
My husband and I were also married at a courthouse. By this really weird dude... ANYONE can become licensed to marry people. I have never felt happy about the way we got married.

Ok, well I have to go to the grocery store now. I watched FOL today. NY's mom is a trip!! Just a complete headcase. :rolleyes: I have to admit that I like Delicious now. I still want him to pick NY because I think VH-1 could get two seasons of a show with just Flav and her. It would be extremely hilarious. Of course all that reality stuff does involve at least some tinkering to create the situations. Wouldn't it be great if Liz was hired for the "Flavor of NY" show? "NY Flavor"? I'm going to start a petition...

Callanetics
 

I have to get a new digital camera so I can take some pictures. Callenetics are great. I walked past the mirror today and amazed myself. The exercises are hard (especially at first). It doesn't take long for you to get stronger and then the exercises become easier. I can't tell you how much it's helped with my flexibility. I recommend 10 in 10 Callanetics highly. Look for a used copy of the video or a used book.

I don't know if I've lost any new weight yet. I'm still boycotting my scale until October 26. :mad:

Amanda, for me here, I have more lack of a schedule when I'm alone during the week, than when the kids are here. It's so strange because the hardest time I struggle with bingeing is when everyone is here. I don't really think about it much when I am by myself. Very strange, and something I was never really able to figure out during therapy. It just feels good to have successful days every day and know that I can control my food and it doesnt control me.

Isn't Liz great with her stories? I was laughing so hard I was crying, the choking with the hair thing..OMG! How many times have we thought of something nasty we'd like to do to someone we don't like very much. :lol:

What happened to your digital camera woman? Are we not gonna get updated photos at the end of the month? I love seeing all your great progress!! I have no doubt that callanetics is giving you awesome results. I really should get into that, after all, it's just sitting here collecting dust. :rolleyes: Doesn't it feel good to see a reflection of yourself and be blown away by what you see looking back?! I can't wait til I get to that point, I really can't. All those little feelings like that are what truly keep me going. It means it's working!!

Bonnie, I hope you're feeling better hon!

♥ danielle

Danielle, there may be hope. My husband is somehow able to get the camera to work for him. I swear there must be some trick to it. :rolleyes: I can't do anything with it anymore. We need a new one... :( So I'll have him take pictures. :)

Thankfully my brother will take pictures at the wedding with his snazzy camera.
Speaking of my husband, he's watching Superfly for about the 5th time this weekend. My husband was conceived at the drive in. Superfly the movie his parents went to see and his dad looked just like Superfly. When his father started to lose his hair, he started wearing hats all the time because he still had long hair on the sides and back. Hubby says that his father's hair used to flow in the wind like John Redcorn's from King of the Hill. :lol:

okay ladies this is ganna be short. everything is going good. didnt finish the fast. i got to weak and i needed to get things done but no biggy. I have been cleaning all day and still not done. went shopping and spent 250. the g'rents arent ganna be very happy but ohwell. i watch Flavor and all i can say is i think New Yorks parents are actors. that **** was crazy. CFC4 was cool. to be honest Erika doesnt look like a size 2 to me but i suck at that kinda thing. When i think of a size 2 i think of models but they are probably -5 or something crazy like that. okay now for the big excitment....HOUSE OF CARTERS!!!!!! Nick Carter from the Backstreet Boys with his brother and 3 sisters in 1 house. from the time i was 11-14 i thought i was going to marry him and i still get butterflies when i see him lol...okay ya i'm a lil drunk so i'm ganna go later *****es!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry guys that was a accident!!!!LOL

Good Morning Ladies,

I thought I posted yesterday. It was crazy around here all weekend.

Well, we haven't left on our adventure yet! We were supposed to leave Friday. Well, my nephew made the Home Coming Court and the football game/parade/etc was Friday night so, how could we leave and not catch that? So we stayed. Then Saturday my nephew and his family (who live in South Carolina and we never get to see) were here. So we stayed. It was great though. We had a really nice weekend. SO...today is the day! We are Out of Here! :carrot: We packed the truck last night so all we have to do is shower this morning and hit the road! I'm so geeked! I have my food plan ready and I'm SO glad that you can now get bottled water. Remember when all you could buy at the gas station was pop? LOL My son came home the other day and had pop in a glass bottle and thought it was the greatest thing (which, I have to agree...I hate it in a can)....but, he thought it was something new! LOL My dad cracked up.

Danielle - I LOVE Dodgeball! It's great that you said that that day because we just bought it the day you talked about it! lol Cracks me up every time I watch it.....Freaky naughty! LOL LOL

Melissa - So glad you didn't strangle the inlaws with their own hair! LOL We have the same situation - but we moved on quite a few years ago and it has been really nice. It wasn't an easy thing to do...but we are much happier just not being a part of it. Hang in there.

Amanda - I'm with ya on the scale boycott. I threw mine in the trash when we packed up to move! LOL I did weigh here (my parents) last week but I'm just going to go on the way my clothes fit for a while.

Liz - LOL on the grandmother offering you her cane! What a sweetheart!

Jazy - Welcome Jazy. I'm a newbie here too. Time for a change!

Bonnie - Hope those allergies are calming down today. That is so miserable....we had it last week. Ugh.

Kenya - You look great! Keep up the good work.

Well, I'm going to shower and start waking my family so we can hit the highway! The weather is supposed to be really nice today so it will be a great day to start our adventure. Have a great day Ladies....and don't forget to MAKE THOSE BODIES MOVE!

Happy Monday everyone!!! Did you have a wonderful weekend? I did so good yesterday. I got the bulk of my accounting project done, got groceries, mowed the lawn and did all the laundry! My dh said I was a dynamo as awoke from his 2 hour nap on the couch! LOL!! I ate very well too, we had make it yourself pizzas last night and I may have overdone the cheese but all in all a pretty great day. Plus I got in 5 bottles of water...1 more than my goal! So here's to an even better Monday!!! No BLTs this week!!!

Mia...I'm so sorry to hear that you got that bug thats going around, and on vacation no less! I hope you are feeling tons better now!

Danielle...you KNOW weekends are rough for me! LOL!! Just feels like time to let loose for some reason. But I did get a stir of motivation and the feeling that I really want to just do this already last night watching CFC. Tina looks so great and she did it the old fashion way! We can do it too! I'm looking for more than 1 leaf to fall off my tree this week darn it!! That means everyday has to be spectacular and I think no BLTs will help TONS!

Bonnie...I hope you are feeling better today! Stupid allergies!! My dh is suffering from them lately too. Its that fall follage!

Amanda...my inlaws really are awful people. And I wish it did mean that dh would just want to stay away from them, but it never does. No matter how horrible they make him feel he is always loyal to them. I dont get it but what can I do? What IS callenetics exactly? What types of exercises?

LOL Britt...how ya feelin today girl? I'm sorry the fast didnt work for you, I'd never be able to go 2 days like that. I get weak enough just on low calorie as it is. Back on track with your healthy eating! You can do it!! NY's mom was a trip. I dunno just way over the top but just like NY though. Cant wait to see the finale!

Jazy...Hello!!! Way to go on 2 days with healthy food!! Thats the way to do it!! I'm an undergrad senior studying accounting and psychology. Slimfast for me saves me money. The shakes are less than $1 each, when can you spend less than $1 on 2 of your meals a day? It seems like more when you go to get supplies but if you break it down thats all it is. Its not a plan for everyone, it just works for me and my schedule. Eating healthy foods making good choices and moving more is the way to go! You can do it! Running...oh I'm not even close to that yet! LOL! But I know a couple of the girls around here are looking in that direction too! Keep up the good work!

Melody...oh I'm so excited for you!!! what an adventure! Its great that you can just do it and not be in this huge hurry too, enjoy america! I hope we'll get lots of updates along the way and you are going to kick some butt on your weightloss plan! going by how your clothes fit is a great idea!! Happy Trails!!

I better hit the showers before someone else sneaks in there on me! Have a wonderful day everyone!! Remember...no BLTs this week!! We can do it!!

~melissa

Hi all!

I'm stopping in to say hello before I get ready for work. This is the first time I've touched a computer in three days. My very best buddy drove hours and hours to spend the weekend with me.:val2:

Have a great walk Bonnie!! The exercise will help with the stress from the teenager! Oh I dont envy those times!

~melissa

Good morning!!!!!! Hope everyone had a great weekend! I didnt do too well this weekend. boo. I started off great and then went downhill yesterday. On sat I went to the gym and ran another 4 miles and then came home ran errends all day and did stuff around the house. Then yesterday.. my sister brought over darn halloween candy, and then DH went and got Cheesesteaks and tastycakes. darn them both. I should have had more control over it, but I didnt. I am back on today. I weighed myself at the gym and I am down!!! YAY! But who knows after this little set back.

Melissa, I am sorry your Ils acted that way. I still think we must have the same set of ils. :D Mine act the same way.

Jazzy, WELCOME!! I am a new girl too! These ladies are great and so motivating!!!

I am out for a bit, but I will check back on in a few. I need to get my before pics too. I will try to do that today. Is there a place to put them besides in my siggy? I see how some of you have links to sites, what are some good sites to do it on? Thanks ladies!!

Good Morning Stacia!!! Weekends are the hardest for me, I just dont know what it is. Its all about choices though, only we can make em! Next weekend you'll do better!! Back on track today though! You can do it!! I used photobucket just the other day and it was so easy. I think its photobucket.com otherwise, Danielle has her pic in her siggy I bet she'll know how to do it! Have a fantastic day!! Way to go on that exercise this weekend!! thats nothing to sneeze at!

~melissa

Good Morning girls. Just popping in real quick. On my way out the door to take DD for a haircut. We'll have to wait an hour no doubt so this could be an all day affair, but I am so tired of hearing her complain! I swear 12 must be the new 16????? It seems like overnight she has grown this attitude and thinks that her dad nor I know anything. :rolleyes: It was a very stressful weekend dealing with her & I never say that about my kids! LOL

Anyways, I don't have time for personals right now but wanted to wish everyone a great day and I will see ya'll in a bit! Be good!

♥danielle

Hi. Just stopping in for a quick :wave:. Still busy as all get out at work, but I'm not feeling stressed. There is an end in sight!!

I will get to personals later today. It will probably be around evening time. I hope you all are having good days. To those that went off plan a little.... ****, it happens. :) Don't spend the day worrying about it.

BBL

:hug: Good Afternoon Lady People!

I do not feel like a million dollars today. :tired: Boo. I'm a little ill still. And the 47 beers I drank last night in honor of my Chicago Bears royally shellacking the Seattle Seahawks can't be helping! :frypan: Well, that coupled with the embarrassment and shame I am feeling today after singing the Super Bowl Shuffle to the bar (yes the entire bar) and after composing and reading an apology letter to Rex Grossman to the bar (again, the entire bar). :twirly: Yeah......I think I might avoid that bar.......until the next BEARS GAME!

Jazzy: It's good to have you with us! :hug: I am a big fan of moderation myself. I don't do well on diets per se because I always cheat and end up screwing up. Basically, I go for the more calories out than in concept.

Stacia: Also good to have you with us! :hug: I too am a bad bad bad little lady on the weekends. It's because there's often no structure to my days.....so I find myself grazing and eating things I wouldn't even consider eating during the week. I think I'm going to start really making an effort on the weekends! I really think it will make a HUGE difference.

Melody: Once again, good to have you with us! :hug: Yes, my grandma is about the funniest thing ever. She's very sassy and salty. She just had quadruple bypass sugery a few weeks ago and is completely fine. It's pretty ridiculous. The way she's going.....she's going to live to be 415.
Have a WONDERFUL time on your trip! I'm so envious.....I need a vacation!

Sara: Thanks for starting the thread this week! You rule the school and I'm so glad that I got the chance to meet you! This forum is really awesome! :D

Britt: You drunken buffoon........:p

Altari: Congrats on the loss.....it's good to see you! :D

Bonnie: I'm so glad to hear that your allergies are letting up! :hug:

Mia: I'm sorry to hear that you've been under the weather too! Sheesh....between all of us on this board, I feel like September was a sick sick month! Feel better and take care of yourself! :dizzy:

Danielle: That story about your daughter cracks me up. Oooohhhhh teenagers. Man, I hate to think about what a bratty teen I was. I think my favorite word was "whatever" (insert hair toss right after delivery).

Melissa: Yes, in-laws are not fun sexy people. How they treat your hubby is so terrible. Geesh. I'm sorry you guys had to endure that this weekend. Just picture yourself forcefeeding them their own hair next time.....at least you'll crack a smile. :D

Amanda: I'm blushing lady girl. :o You give me way to much credit!

Girls, I'm so glad you love the stories! I love writing them, so I promise to keep them coming. It's good exercise for my brain and gets me in gear for Second City!

Everyone have a fabulous day!
Liz

Whats Up Chicks!!! :cp: :carrot: :carrot: :flow2:

:welcome: To the new ladies!!

:woo: :woo: :woo: Amanda on the wedding. Good deal. Thats is so neat. You have really nice and supportive huby.

Got a new computer last week and its finally up and working. My goal this week is to knock out about 30 miles and get that 100 ounces of water down a day. Geeeeeeezeeee! that is so hard for me.

Man Kenya looks great! doesn't she? Amazing.

I have not lost anymore weight lately nor have I gained. But I'm not working out like I was 2 weeks ago either. I've been working late. We bought a new car Friday a Torrent, its an SUV. Its not bad.

I gotta go through all these post and catch up. BBL

Good Afternoon here. I did another 6 miles of leslie. I didnt know if I was going to get a chance to walk tonight. But I feel good.

hi everyone feeling alot better today havent got in my water yet but plan on it
Jazzy there are many diets out there you have weight watchers where everyone seem to rave alot i researched it and found out alot of info so i didnt have to pay because i paid over $100 for the 6 week body makeover and it was worthless then you have the 3 hour diet which costs also the best one i saw that was also free is the body for life all you have to do is go to the site basically it says what all the diets seem to say here is the breakdown
carb and protein for each meal and veggies with at least 2 meals fruits are listed as carbs also
the have a allowed foods list on the site basically that was what the 6weekbody makeover was except you couldnt have any salt...
but there are sites like sparkspeople and another one but i cant remember the name that creats menus that you can tweak i agree with Liz diets that are strict are way too hard for me
hope that helps
have a great day everyone!

Way to go Bonnie! And hello to you Trish! :D

Mia OMG I bought the 6 week Makeover too . a few years ago and I thought it was worth less too. :( now I do the Biggest Loser diet and I love it.

Phew! Where does the day go? Spent the entire day out & about and I am ready to drop. DD is happy with her "do" so now she's silent. Now I get back from taking her and my other two want to know why they didnt get their hair cut! :crazy: Guess what I'll be doing next Saturday? lol

I have not done very well today with anything. I skipped breakfast and my water is way way behind. Not to mention that I just inhaled 2 chocolate chip cookies without even thinking about it. Not sure what the heck that's all about but I'm nipping it now. Good grief, will there EVER be a day, just one measely day that I don't have to be on red alert whenever I'm around food? Will it matter once I get to goal. Sheesh, I really think some people are luckier than others. But then again, I think I'm just giving myself a big healthy dose of the 'woe is me's. I hate it when I get like that.

Well, Melody has finally begun her adventures! I can't wait to hear the stories that are sure to follow. Yeah, Dodgeball is a fan fave in this household. My DS does a perfect impersonation of White. Gotta love Ben Stiller.

Melissa, gosh you were a busy chicky yesterday weren't you? Go you! Not really sure what the weekend has that makes it so hard for me. Just one of those mysteries I suppose. lol At least I know to prepare & batten down the hatches! lol How ya doing on those BLT's? I have failed miserably today! Argh!

Altari, congrat's on those 3 pounds missy!!! Woo hoo!!!!!

Stacia, the halloween candy is a dangerous thing in my house. Something about those lil teeny-tiny candy bars.....its a sin that they can still be so fattening. lol Today's a new day and you just pick up where ya left off, the mistakes are behind you. Only good things today!!!

Jazy, doing the slimfast plan sounds costly, but Melissa's right if you break it down it turns out to be quite cost effective. I love it! It's the one plan I've always kept going back to because I know it works and it fits my life right now. I know you'll find something to fit you, just be patient with yourself. And hey, you've got 2 days of clean eating..there's alot to be said for that alone! good for you!

Bonnie, wow 6 miles with Leslie! Go you! I think the day that I can actually do a 6 mile WATP tape I will be celebrating big time! That's awesome!

Amanda, good to see your face today chicklet! Hope things are good!!

Liz, yep it's payback time. I remember what a bratty-pain-in-the-butt teenager *I* was and now I'm being punished! :lol: My son tests my patience every day with everything I have, but alot of it comes from his high intelligence and some of the little easy things he just doesn't get. If that makes sense? Oh and my DD, we are gonna go rounds in the coming years I can so tell already! Definitely not looking forward to her getting older! lol And trust me, I will continue fantasizing about choking an IL with their own hair every day if it gives me a smile! :D

Trish, there ya are!!! Good to have you back. I hope the new computer is making life a little easier for you. Amazing how we quickly rely on them & when they're gone or misbehaving our worlds collapse! Good luck with the water, you can do it!

Mia, hope you're feeling better!

I hope I didn't forget anybody. I really tried to power thru this real quick. I've got a boat load of things to get done before the evening hits...of course, because the Packers of Greenbay will be playing tonight! Makes me cringe sometimes to watch them play, poor Brett. But cannot help it, he's one class act. So anywho, that's me so far today. I hope everyone is having a successful on plan day and staying focused and inspired.

When the night has come and the land is dark and the moon is the only light we'll see, no i wont be afraid no i wont be afraid just along as you stand by me...love that song!!! yes u would think that i'm in my 60's...i love music from the 50's and 60's. today was...well i dont know what today was. I ate 1 serving of oatmeal and the a cucumber with lime and salt for lunch...then somt twislers cuz i was really weak at school and then i got a salad at Mcdonalds on my way home... so yeah...plus ive been cleaning for 3 days and i'm still not done. ya'll probably think i'm a total pig but ive been re oraganizing things and trying to figure out what the **** i want to do. on top of that still been emotional...my football time lost in the last 10 seconds of the game by 2 freakin points. yeah lots of tears there...then i talked to Josh and he said he had been emotional too so we agree that its the time of year. that or we are both just crazy which is a really good possibility.

Amanda- hope work was good. its always good when u can keep ur cool and not get stressed out!!!!

Trish- awesome on the new car...sometimes i wish i could get one. i'm so tired of mine, but it still runs good so i'm stuck with it!!!

Liz- holy ****. 47 beers? i do not want to be in a drinking contest with you!!! Sounds like you had a great time!!!!!!!

Stacia- we all have set backs but as long as u start again its all good!!

Altari- sounds like you had the best weekend...so jealous!!!

AlaskanMelody- thats soooo cute about your son!!!!! hope your adventure is awesome. have lots of fun and fo everything and take pictures and post them!!!

Jazy- thats great about the food. keep it up!!!

Danielle- we all have those days. usually when i go home there is pie or cake and it takes everything i have not to have any and honestly i usually fail so ur better than me!!! Just take a deep breath and it will all be okay!!

Hey LAdies!!!Thanks for all of the introductions guys .I feel very welcome!!

Danielle!!!WOW, you seem to have your plate full with that major,god accounting sounds so ,mathmatical. LOL Good for you and god bless.Thanks danielle for the tip. I think that I am going to start to investigate that, I just tink that I would be hungry after just having a shake!! Do you eat it with a meal?
How many days do you exercise?

Does anyone watch the flavor of love!! Could ypou just recap what happened this sunday!!!

GOOd luck with tommorow and feel better MIa!!!

Good Morning Sunshines!!! Ugh I was so tired last night I was ready for bed at 7! But didnt go till 9 after I put the girls down. I dont have class till 11 today so I feel like I could just go back to bed till then. Sleepy girl! I failed on my BLTs yesterday! I did good all day long till dinner and my downfall was making myself something different than I made the rest of the family. So I tasted theirs!!! Shame! LOL!! But I'll attack it again today...no BLTS!

Liz...did you make it through the day? Sounds like you had a great time!! I'd have loved to have been at that bar! LOL!! Hard to believe your bears are undefeated still eh?!! Dont ya just love football! LOL!

Trish...congrats on the new car!! Its great to see you around here again!! You can get that water in I know you can!!! Cheers!

Bonnie...excellent job on that exercise!!! I'm so very proud of you!! Keep up the good work! I hope you are feeling even better today!

Mia...I'm so glad you are feeling better!! Is the 6 week makeover the Micheal Thurmond one? I read some of his book, some interesting stuff but the menu he suggested for my body time consisted of fish at just about every single meal for a week...I hate fish! LOL!!

Danielle...yesterday is behind you! Right back on track with it girlie!! Running around makes it tough and then once you skip a meal it seems like you can never catch back up with it. At least I'm like that anyway! Gotta pack some bars in your car! I failed BLTs yesterday too, but back at it today! We can do it!! We've got leaves to remove from our tree darn it!!!

Britt...you wanna come do my house when you are done? LOL!! I sure could use some major cleaning like that!! Make sure you are eating enough girlie!! Your body cannot function unless you fuel it, and its telling you its not getting enough by you being so weak. And then you reach for things you dont need or want. So many people think they'll lose weight by starving themselves and that may work for awhile but all they are losing is lean muscle tissue. Thats the absolute worst thing you can do for yourself. When you feed your body right then you lose fat. You want to do this healthy or it wont matter how much you lose, it'll all just come back and then some. Be good to your body!

Jazy....if you are interested in the Slimfast plan I would suggest checking out their website. It really is different than what people think. You'd be amazed at how much you eat! Do we watch Flavor of love? LOL!!! OF COURSE! Basically all that happened was the parents came to the house. NYs mom was over the top from the moment she stepped in the door she does not want NY there, very dramatic even tried to tell NY that she was dying to get her to leave. Crazy's parents were a little white trashy wanting to party Flav took them out and got them braided LOL. And Delicious' parents were very quiet and polite. Flav had his kids on too they all seemed to like Delicious thought she was the most "real" one. At eliminations Crazy left, he felt she was only there for a chance at a record deal. Ny's mom said that she wasnt leaving w/o NY but she walked out the doors, then at the very end she went back into the house and started yelling for NY..thats when it ended. Finale is next week!

Okay, I'm gonna make chicken corn chowder in the slow cooker today since I dont have class till 11. Then its off to the school again for more fundraiser stuff. Tonight is my first PTA meeting as president! Tomorrow is the rolling stones concert! Busy times! Have a fantastic day everyone!! Remember no BLTs! and drink that water!

~melissa

Good grief!! I feel like I'm missing out on everything! I haven't even read everyone's posts.

I just wanted to drop by and say hello. I won't try to predict when I'll get around to personals this time. Just want you all to know that I miss you! I hope you're all doing well. :grouphug:

Good Morning to everyone. I did my exercise this morning and Instead of Leslie I decided to do some Richards Simmons Tone and sweat video. Decided I needed a day of tonning. Boy I can feel it to. Figured I would shake my self up and do something different.
