Punkin:

I know how you feel. I work with 30 guys. All of who would walk right over me if I didn't stand up to them. Or worse yet act like them. You know what I mean. When they start those stupid man jokes you have to laugh along too. Even though you are thinking to yourself how stupid can one human being be.

I think working with all these men affects my weight.
They are such men. The gauk ( I think I spelled that right) at everything that comes in and comment about if for 30 minutes after she leaves.
My sister came in one day. (A size 4 all her life) They said some things I didn't take to kindly to so I had to "NIP IT IN THE BUD" as quickly as I could.

Oh well. Sometimes I wish there was another women here that I could talk to.

But I have you guys for that.

I was just thinking how good some penut & 's would be right now. But I am saving it for my strudel tonight.

MMMM i like M&Ms. However im much more of a cake person. Im glad we can admit when we eat poorly or not the right choice. Cause i had some cheese doodles today and feel guilty...oh well.

I dont think im going to lose any weight this month and i hope i dont gain...but i might. I am going to have to work on my mental attitude. Im getting frustrated with people in my life telling me that i have accomplished so much bye losing the weight and that i worked to hard to put the weight back on. And im just in such a struggle and i dont think i can keep the weight off. Maybe my will is just not there. However people think since i made it this far that its easier to keep the weight off when its not.

What are peoples favorite healthy snack?

Pumpkinseed i think its important to have a voice....far to many women dont have one. I know that sometimes i should have a bigger voice but to timid too. I admire u.

Tipper i know about nitemares.. i have them all the time. I really believe to dreams there are some deeper hitting meanings. Is someone in your life creating fear or anxiety for you? Could be work related or anything for that matter. After a bad dream i try to analyze it. Some times they are just to funky too.
I hope you have a better rest this weekend!

So anyone have good plans for the weekend?

Well post soon..have to head back to work!
Sheryl

I like working with all guys however my guys are computer programmers...different breed! Good guys...i work with one other lady but for years i worked with all guys. The men are older..like 35 however i dont hang out enough to see the guy side. Im sure i would get upset with that if i did.

Scooby:

My favorite health snack are carmel rice cakes. They used to make blueberry ones that were great but I haven't been able to find those lately.

I am 35 years old. The guys are 35 and older. We are commercial hardware distributers and we sale to general contractors. And we all know how construction workers are not to mention Salesmen in the construction industry.

OH god tipper yea that sounds like the men would be burely *** holish men. I guess i used to work with women in the office...a different place from where i am now and they were so catty and annoying so when i found only men i was so happy!

I have done the evil weigh in and have amazing lost 2 lbs...down 180...only 3 to go to get back to starting weight...Can I readjust my goal like we did in the Scary Halloween challenge? I'd like my goal to be 175...if' that's ok with all you pilgrims out there! Have a wonderful weekend folks!

Punkinseed could you please change my current weight to 198.6 sorry to be picky but every little bit counts. work has been busy this week and it hasn't helped that my grandson has been sick all week. I went out to eat last night with the girls from work and I manage to stay op I had the rainbow trout baked potato vegies and soup. Sorry got to run Im making dinner.

Onward and downward!!

Okay, okay....I weighed this morning and I am definitely down one pound, wavering on two. So put it down as one pound, and can I have a banana, too?

I wasn't going to weigh until the 28th, but curiosity got the better of me. (Curiosity may have killed the cat, but satisfaction brought her back!!!)

HAPPY FRIDAY!!!

You may have a dancing banana my dear! I've also changed Babette to the new and improved Arabella, amended Hotsplashes Turkey goal and added current weights so that maybe we can see our progress better!

Ya likey??
(note to self - don't do updates late on Friday afternoon because brain is fried, making simple math near imposible)

Anywhoooo, time for me to go get changed for Curves . It looks like it's going to be a wonderfully rainy weekend - brake out the candles, throw blanket and good book!

Enjoy! See ya Monday!

Terri *snort*
(I am , because it is Friday)

Hello all!!

Glad to see so many stopped by !!

Had a long discussion w/ my boss today. I don't expect much to change but it felt good to know she was interested enough to listen.

scale looked very promising this am but seems like sometimes Friday's are a carrot to keep OP during the weekend so that the official weighin day on Monday will show the same lower weight.
Silly where our brains go isnt it?

favorite snack someone asked-- I still love a crisp red delicious apple but nothing tops Chocolate sugar free pudding. Its worth the points and has saved me many times.

I enjoyed Shawshank Redemption too and was pleased to find the quote.

just reading the word strudel makes my mouth water!!

Will be checking in later but need to move the laundry from one machine to the other- I love to start it on Friday nights-- Makes me feel like I'm getting ahead on things!! ( like I said, silly where our brains go isnt it!)

Punkin, I likey! Thanks for the

We are supposed to get SNOW here tomorrow! Not much, just enough to make it look cold outside. I'm off to the fabric store tomorrow....got the bug to make some long skirts I can wear with boots for the winter.

Kaylets, since you're so far ahead of the laundry game, why don't you drop by and do mine tomorrow?

Hey, we've collectively lost 16lbs so far. 16lbs....that's a good-sized turkey!

Love seeing all those bananas!!!! Congrats to Hotsplashes and Wildfire for releasing those pounds back into the wild!

Punkin, my husband works at a library and he loves to hook old ladies up with non-horror Stephen King, like 'The Girl Who Loved Tom Gorton' or "Shawshank"!
By the way, saw "Chamber of Secrets" today and it was....words fail me...GLORIOUS! I'm STILL waiting for my letter from Hogwarts.....

Scooby, my favorite snack this time of year are clementines---those little seedless tangerines that show up in the market this time of year; they're usually sold in little crates. They're sweet, seedless and easy to peel! And sublime with a couple of squares of chocolate on the side.
