Man, looking at those flavors made me want ot go eat mine now. I think that was what went wrong last night. I ate it to early and then I was ready for more.

I need to start going through our stuff tonight. My MIL and I am having a garage sale on the 21st so I am going to see what I can actually get money for. I usually just give all of my stuff to good will. I think whatever I make I am going to put towards school. I am sure I wont make $5000, but every little bit will help.

Have you heard anything more on the financing from the school?

I love yard sales. I bought a crate for Candi a few weeks ago for $20.00. She likes it if you put hotdogs in it. But when I walk by the house on my first trip around I can hear her and Cappie in here barking. They spaz out when we let them out too.

I try to eat mine at 8 or 8:30 at night. I like to have something to eat while I am vegging out and it does seem to help. I have trouble not eating the whole thing on some nights though but hey at least it is fat free if I do. :lol: I find that I can usually overeat and get away with it for the most part if it is fat free but if it is fatty then I bloat up for a few days from one nights splurge.

The two places that I called said that the school has to be listed with them b4 they would lend me the money. When I go in to talk to the on the 14th I will ask her if she would be interested in doing that. That would be great for me if she did. Otherwise I am going to have to come up with plan B for the money. The problem is I don't have a plan B.

My sister is a yard sale lady too. I can never find anything good. My MIL lives in a ritzy neighborhood so maybe I can get away with pricing high and having poeple pay it. :devil:

Angie: I think the strawberries come out the end of June and the season goes for like 2 weeks maybe? Hope you get to keep your new accounts, did they sign anything with you, a contract or anything? Good luck.

Noelle: I'm gonna have to go to bluebunny site and enter that trip too.

Kempy: Good luck with the yard sale.

Room for 1 more?
 

Can I join this group? I have read the posts for the past few days and could use some of that motivation and support.
I have been trying to lose weight since Jan. 2002 and i am at a stand still right now, can't seem to get myself kickstarted again.

:wave: Sure! Welcome NeeshK, so glad you could join us. First off, a big congratulations on your pounds lost so far--looks very good! Are you following any specific "plan" ? or just winging it (like me) ? I just try to do low-fat and low-cal. I try not to restrict any particular food groups since that's not how I'll eat for the rest of my life. All of us great ladies that post on this thread seem to be about the same age (I think I'm one of the older ones though :lol: ) but we're at different stages of our weight loss. We go through so many of the same struggles and it helps to have a support group, like this one when things aren't going so well and to share the highs when they do go well. Are you in Washington state? Because if you are then at least we have another person in this time zone...sort of. Jen (Mark&Ivy'sMom) is from Colorado and long after Kempy, Angie and Sandy have gone to bed, Jen posts. I'm in HI so I'm the last to bed and the last to rise :yawn: . Welcome aboard again and I look forward to getting to know you better. :D

I was feeling energetic this afternoon so I took a quick walk from my office to the bank and post office. It only took me 20 or so minutes to get there, do the errands and back so I know it's not a whole lot, but it's something. I'm going for my daily evening walk of 3.5 miles later on. For now I'm just counting my lucky stars that I'm having my 3rd OP day in a row. I'm looking to hit 170 by the end of this month--I've been there, but had a rough month and I've been up and down the scale since, not having had it STICK to the lower # :crossed: .

Well, hope everyone else had a great day and looking to have an even better one tomorrow.

NOELLE~
Thank you so much for your warm welcome! I am excited about this forum. I am doing the Weight Watchers program... It was so easy in the beginning, my husband and I joined together but he's lost his 50 pounds and I just can't seem to do it alone.
I keep telling myself" I'm a healthy eater, I can do this" then I see a piece of chocolate and it goes down hill from there! I was at 159 last month, and I've slowly inched up the scale again, so I thought I would try something new. I have bounced around the same 5 pounds and I am fed up. I should have been at my goal weight by now! My goal was by my 31st b-day...oh well maybe by the 32nd!

Congratulations on your third OP day in a row :CP:
I will try starting tomorrow.

I am in WA. I am glad to have someone to talk to in the same time-zone. Although I would LOVE to be living in HI right now!
We are in the process of moving. We are having a house built. It won't be ready until October 1st. We have sold our house and will be moving into an apartment for 4 months. It will be an adjustment!

How do you keep yourself motivated? I can get through the entire day at work, I just seem to forget about it when I walk in the front door. ~N

Neesh, you shouldn't even feel bad about not losing as fast as your hubby...he is after all, a man. Men have more muscle mass which burns cals faster + women have an extra layer of fat, aren't we lucky? Anyway, you've done well in keeping off what you have lost, just look at it that way. I know what you mean about "playing w/the same 5 lbs". I've been doing the same thing in the 170's...I can't seem to get out of them. We can do this!!! We just need to keep on making the right choices, including exercising.

Hmmm, how do I stay motivated? If you'd asked me last week, I wouldn't have had an answer for ya, I was off track for quite a few weeks :lol: . When I am on track (like right now, thank gawd!) I exercise in the evening. My exercise just consists of walking 3.5 miles in about and hour and 5 or ten minutes. By the time I get home and eat dinner, it's pretty late and I don't normally feel the need to snack if I've just eaten enough dinner. But I try to keep "legal" low-fat or fat free foods around that I can snack on, I know how it is w/the evening munchies sometimes, esp. around PMS. I think Kempy and Angie are into Blue Bunny fat free yogurt or ice cream...it feels like you're cheating, but you're actually not, as long as you eat the recommended serving size...that's where I have a problem w/it. My other trick is to just go downstairs away from the kitchen and get online here at the website. Out of sight, out of mind works for me as far as snacks. Maybe the others can offer some more helpful words or advise. Well, it's getting late and I need to go to bed. See ya tomorrow.

Welcome NeeshK!! Noelle has great advice. If I am having a particularly bad week I will go and watch tv in my bedroom at night so I am not even near the kitchen or have an excuse to go near it. It seems to help me. You have had an awesome weight loss so far and you should be very proud of yourself. Wow you are having a house built right now.You must be so excited to get it done.

My name is Angie. I am 30 but I will turn 31 on July 1(Kempy's B-day too!!)I am a married mom to 3 kids...Brittany age 11 and Corey and Alicia age 9(the twins turn 10 on July 1 too.). I am a baker for a living.I too follow my own plan of low fat low calorie like Noelle.

I hope you like it here. These girls are great and I give them all the credit for helping me get so close to goal. It has meant a lot to me to have them here for support everyday.

Noelle, YEAH for having 3 op days in a row. Did ya get your click back?

Sandy, How have you been doing this week? Are you back on track too?

Kempy, Did you save your cone for later last night? Mine tasted so good that I wanted to bring the whole container in!! :lol:

I hope everyone has an awesome day. I am waiting for the new accounts to get in touch with us. Oh yeah, it is POURING outside today. I really cant wait until it warms up for the season and stays that way.

I weighed in yesterday and the scales said 140.5. Not bad I thought. Then I weighed in this morning and they said 139!!! Can that be possible? I would love it if it were but that would mean that I lost 3 pounds this week so far. I would have thought that would have been impossible since I am so close to goal. WEIRD!!! I will HAVE to check them again in the morning. :lol:

HI Neesh and welcome to our little corner! You are going to love it here. The guys are true friends!

I ended up eating the ice cream at around 7 but then I hopped in the shower and tried to get my mind off of eating more of it. By the time I layed back down on the sofa I wasdog tired. I wonder if it is b/c I have been gettin up 30 mins. earlier than normal. I ended up going to bed at 9:30. I feel good today though. I am a little soare for the wegihts but I knew it was going to be like that. I am even taking it slow and lighter than I am used to lifting. I can only imagine what I would feel like if I hit them like I used to.

I have a respect for you guys that walk outside for 2+ miles. It is one mile from my house to the front of the subdivision and back and I can't even think about walking through again. I think that most of it is b/c it is so hot.

I wonder if Jen will check in b4 she leaves tomorrow?

Sandy what's going on in your world today?

Neesh I used to live in Wash when I was 4. What part are you in? I would try to spell the name of the town we lived in but I think I might misspell it.

One more thing...... ANGIE!!!! YOU!!!GO!!!GIRL!!! That is great about the scale. Who cares if it is possible. It looks like it is. You are almost there. Don't give up !

Hey chickies. Just a quick check in before I leave my office...I just got here, it's 8:08 am, but I'm going to sneak away and try to get my hair done--cut & colored. The amount of grays I have is getting ridiculous and the amount of time between colorings is getting shorter and shorter :mad: . Sheesh, I remember the days in high school (which wasn't THAT long ago) when my friends and I would dye our hair just for kicks--sometimes going jet black or reddish brown. Now it's a necessity and I wish I didn't have to! But I refuse :snooty: to go gray at 31!

Angie! AWESOME! Believe it. Oh my GAWD you're so close :dance: I gotta do the happy dance for you. That's so exciting and I'm proud of you. We're supposed to get some afternoon thunderstorms here for the next couple of days. Oh well, I guess I haul out the umbrella :rain: .

Kempy you keep working w/those weights and soon enough you'll have to change that heading by your avatar to "muscle woman" :D . You go girl, work it!

Neesh, a brand new house huh? That's so exciting. Have fun living in the condo in the interim--just remember when things get a little hairy that it's only temporary. What part of the state do you live? I have a friend in Federal Way.

Jen how are you holding up?

Well ladies, I'm gonna rush on out of here. I'll check back later.

Happy late morning everyone!
Its hard to get to the computer in the middle of the day at work, just a quick note to let you know I'm reading posts :)

I havent figured out how to work the smileys yet!

I live in Federal Way right now( Noelle~ thats strange your friend lives here too!) We will be moving to Snohomish. about 20 miles north of Seattle. We are very excited. I turn 31 on June 28th. I have 2 boys... Alexander 6 and Sebastian 3.

Angie- Congrats on you loss this week! That is great, almost to your goal.

Kempy- That icecream sounds yummy!

I'll check back in later. ~N

Nees I just looked up how to spell that town it was Suquamish. Have you heard of that?

Neesh, The 28 is my dads birthday.

As for my weight, I think it just might be right. The black dress I bought at the Good will store, I tried it on today and could get more of the buttons done up and I couldnt do that last week. That is so weird though, gosh I hope it stays for my official weigh in. :lol:

It stopped raining for a minute so I probably should go get a walk in. I havent done anything for exercise yet today and Brit has a D.A.R.E. graduation tonight.

What happened with you accounts today? I am dying to find out.

I didnt get a call and we couldnt get ahold of her so I am hoping she is just waiting to get final word from the corporation and she will call and tell us to start on Monday. I am keeping my fingers crossed. I know that they move slowly because we had one of them while they were opened in our town and it took forever to get in and then they closed that store a few months later anyway. :lol:

I got in 1 1/2 miles just now and it misted on me the whole way. I am going to try to walk to Brits graduation tonight and that will give me just over 3 miles for the day. Tomorrow is supposed to be 80 degrees out so I know I can get my full 6 miles then and lay in the sun for a minute because all the base tan I had a few weeks ago is gone.

Jen, I hope I can catch ya before you guys leave on vacation. HAVE FUN!!!!!

Hey chicks,
I'm here, just late today. I had a big day at work. We are closing the company on June 30 and reopening it on July 1.......we have to change the name and get INCORPORATED......long story....lots of paper work, but gives me a paycheck:) .

Angie: YOU GO!!!!!! LETS ALL HAPPY DANCE WITH ANGIE...:dance: I'M SO HAPPY FOR YOU. AND YES!!!! With all that walking you've done it is possible. You are still my inspiration. Did you get the accounts? Hey, Evan did D.A.R.E. too this year at school.

Neesh: Welcome to this little corner of the 3fc site. These are some of the best people you will find. By the way, I think I am the elder here???? I'm 33 will be 34 in Novemeber. I have 2 kids, 1 boy who is 11 and one girl who is 5 going on 16!!! And to get the smiles to work alls you have to do is to click on them and they will insert, or click on the get more tab thing and it will list a ton of them and then click on them to insert. You will learn as you go, I did.

Kempy: Lot's going on right now at work, at home all is good. And as Angie stated, IT is raining today....rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Noelle: Did you get your hair done? How did it turn out? I know all about the grays.....but I kinda have a dirty blonde hair color anyway so it seems to blend well (thats my story and I'm sticking to it!!):D

Jen: Where are you, how is your day going?

hoping you have room for another newbie
 

Hi everyone!
I would love to join your group here- I just love how chatty you all are! My kind of girls! :) I need some serious support and am ready to get serious myself again...

Just had my 3rd baby 6 weeks ago-- have lost that pregnancy weight, but am still 15 lbs *over* my previous delivery weight with my other boys...YUCK. AM hearing that "click" (even if it's a bit faint) and ready to start this journey again.

Look forward to getting to know you all! :)

Emily

Of course you can join in Emily! There is always room here. We do like to chat alot don't we.

I hope that we can help you like all of these girls have helped me.

Arggghhhhh!!!! Finally the darn cable company gets us back online. I got back into the office this morning at around 10 and the internet was down. Talk about withdrawals! Anyway, yes I did get the gray covered and got a little trim, you can call me Foxy Cleopatra again :lol: .

That was spooky! My SIL just came by looking for Rick. He's never here in the daytime since he's out doing calls. She was asking for $2 to buy her kids some juice. Her 2 kids got taken away by CPS and placed in foster care over a year ago and I guess today is her regular visitation day. She's supposed to bring juice? Well I didn't want to give her any money because who knows what she might spend it on, but I did have some juice boxes in my fridge so I gave those to her to take. Personally I don't think she should ever get those kids back, but the way the system works here is all about reuniting the child w/the biological parent. I'm a little afraid of her myself, she's been known to get really violent...but that's a whole 'nother can of worms. So I gave her the juice and off she went. Whew!

Welcome aboard Emily! Congratulations on your newborn :bb: . Don't you just love how the weight falls off the first few weeks after delivery? Especially if you nurse... anyway, I'm sure you have your hands full, so is it 3 boys then? I have just one 4 y.o. but am sort of trying for another :D . At age 31 I don't want to wait much longer.

Sandy you busy lady. What do you mean 'gives you a paycheck' ? Were you working for love before? :lol: Just kidding. Incorporating huh? Is it a big deal? I don't know because when Rick started his business he just went straight into it, no transition or anything. All I can see is that we're paying taxes through the nose but have the protection of a corp. We're looking into applying for S-Corp status though, that should save us a few $ . Maybe I'll have 2 nickels to rub together after bills are paid :rolleyes: .

Angie good luck on keeping those accounts :crossed: . Oh, the proverbial "little black dress", how sexy! Do post a pic you sexy thang ;) .

Jen have a good roadtrip...you can always leave your sister on the side of the road if she gets out of hand :lol:

Kempy what's shakin' today?

Neesh my best girlfriend from high school moved up to Fed. Way maybe 5-6 years ago. She worked for Capital One for a few years, then is currently going to school to become a pharmacy tech? We visited her 2 years ago. I love Seattle and the surrounding areas, it's a beautiful place.

Hey Noelle, yup thats what we are doing.....s-Corp....but you are still called Incorperated I guess? Thats what the lawyer said anyway. We actually found this lawyer that is a Certified Accountant also, so he knows his stuff and only does Small Business stuff. He impressed me today. Anyway, for some reason when my boss started the company she started it as a LLC, and well thats a bad thing to do I guess? But he did say turning into a S-Corp would save some big bucks. Ends up my boss was like paying double taxes on her paycheck.....long story and I am still majorly confussed, but it will all work out. I told the girl that I will be working with in his company (small company just the 2 of them) that I don't know that much, but I am a quick study and she can teach me to do it the way it should be done....lol and she said wonderful at last someone willing to do it my way.....LOL.

I think actually the transittion will be okay, just lots of paper work to do all over again with the hippa laws and confidentiality and omg the list goes on and on when you are dealing with the elderly.

welcome to the thread Emily....hope you enjoy us, we tend to get chatty sometimes which I love, I have to keep my fingers moving on the key board so I don't eat...LOL

I LOST THE ACCOUNTS!!!! How can a drug addicted slug get away with everything?? Jay is going to call up the company tomorrow and ***** that woman out for telling us we had it when she gets back and then falling for whatever line crackhead fed her! He is so good at being a loser!! I am sooooo mad right now . Enough whining from me but now you see why I hate living here! Good people can never get ahead!

Welcome Emily!! Sorry for my little rant there, it has been a hectic week. Wow a little baby, you must not be getting much sleep right now. These girls all rock!

Sandy, I am supposed to be in the process of being incorporated right now but I am sure the accountant forgot to finish the paperwork. He gets kinda absentminded unless we call him everyday. :lol:

Noelle, Our inlaw families sound so similar. Luckily we met the NORMAL ones!! :lol:

Brit's D.A.R.E. graduation was cute. She got a t-shirt but she is so small the shirt goes down to her knees. The whole class is going rollerskating tomorrow for their graduation trip.

Angie, sorry about the accounts. Did want to tell you from what this lawyer/accountant today said to go S-Corp....same thing as incorperated, but less money to the government.? Good luck.

I have no idea about all of the incorporated stuff. All I know is that we are LLC here. I wonder if I am getting screwed in any way?

Angie I am so sorry. Maybe when Jay calls they will change their minds. I will keep my fingers crossed for you.

Noelle we have the same thing here with kids going back to biological parents. It is a real shame that they try to do that.

Jen if you check in today have fun!

Sandy we got your rain. There is a tropicla disturbacne sitting right off of our coast and it is making it very humid and it is going to rain all day today. I am not upset though. We spent alot of money on our flower beds and I would much rather mother nature water them than me.

Neesh, Emily are you still here?

Has anyone heard from Washu or Gargoyle lately?

Hey everyone-
Thanks for the welcome :)
This will be short as I'm trying to type with a floppy baby and it isn't so easy...

Noelle-yes it's 3 boys: 5, 2.5 and the baby. Yes it keeps me hopping. Thank goodness the weight fell off with this one. I only lost 15 of 40 with my 2nd...the rest is still hanging on...tightly I might add!

Neesh- I have a brother in Auburn- right next to Fed Way I think?? He works dowtown at WAMU. Cousin in Federal Way too. I love that area- used to live in Portland. It's so beautiful!

Hi to the rest of you and I will get everyone straight soon- promise! Need to go get the boys dressed and #2 to the Dr. for a lovely infection on his -a-hem- peepee... :)
Later!

Emily

Happy Friday!!!

3 boys eh, Em? That's great. Don't feel bad about weight not coming off w/the other 2 kids prior, no sense in busting your butt trying to get it off only to put it back on again w/another pregnancy. (I'm just trying to make myself feel better because it took me 4 years to get back to prepregnancy weight :o ) . :lol: I've always been heavy ever since I was a kid, but now that I'm getting older I'm trying to get some of this weight off because frankly, it's not pretty. Hope your #2 son gets better :^: !

Neesh I hear you guys up in Federal Way are having temps in the 80's. Must be hot for you guys. I had to laugh when I visited there because my friend kept telling me how rainy and dreary it was before we got there. When we arrived though, it was in the low to mid 70's the whole time--it was absolutely beautiful.

Angie sorry to hear about the accounts. I hope Jay gives 'em ****. Maybe they'll reconsider? I hear ya about honest people trying to make a living. It's the same way here w/unlicensed contractors who charge less and get paid under the table. Sometimes it seems to me they're the ones who are making a fortune instead of us upstanding-licensed-taxpaying people. I understand your frustration completely--even the disgusting BIL part. Ugh, I don't wanna go there.

Kempy we were supposed to get rain yesterday and today but so far I haven't seen any. Hope your flowerbed is doing well.
I haven't seen Gargoyle around in a long time, Washu's been MIA even longer. Hope they're doing OK.

Sandy how are you doing today, still buried up to your elbows in paperwork? Oh well, it's Friday! Can't wait for the weekend. Look on the upside, you're over halfway through your day and mine is just beginning.

I stopped by the grocery store on my way to work just to check out the produce. The darn watermelons are back up to $.39 a pound, and that's supposedly a sale! 2 weeks ago I bought one it was only $.17 p/lb. What's up w/that? Oh yeah, and the freezer section only had BB no sugar added, reduced fat--no fat free...now that I think of it, I don't think I've ever seen BB FF yogurt or ice cream, only the no-sugar added. But! I did see that BB had tons of FF or low-fat ice cream or yogurt bars, single serving sizes, just perfect for me. I'm gonna try that next.

I have a cousin from Guam that's flying in tomorrow and will be staying w/us for 10 days. He's getting his captain's license for boating. He works a tugboat (I think, I'm not sure) between Guam and Wake Island and is gone for weeks at a time. Once he gets his captain's license, he'll be in charge of the boat instead of just a working stiff. I can just see my dad firing up the grill 3-4X this week for BBQ :rolleyes: :ink: . Wish me luck but I'm gonna try and stay OP this weekend :crossed: . It's something that I don't really try and do, I just let myself go, then I have to start over again every freakin' Monday. :nono:

I actually got to work out today! I got off of wokr at 2:45 so I just stuck around and did legs and did a little cardio for about 20 mins. I am slowly getting myself back into working out so I don't want to burn myself out by trying to do to much.

You guys have been pretty quiet today, what's going on in your neck of the woods?

Hey girls!! My BIL is such a liar!!! He never got those accounts back. He told my MIL that he cooked for them for today and guess what? NO DONUTS!! Jay called the woman and she said as far as she knows all they need to do is wait for the main office to give the go ahead for us to start! He may have screwed himself because I was so pissed last night that I emailed the head health inspector to see what kind of penalties and fines he should be getting. If I get an email back saying that he never passed inspection(which I dont honestly see how he could) I am so going to tattle on the rest of his accounts and make sure he doesnt have a business left. See he brought me down to his level now. I hate that. I feel petty.

Today was so nice out. Not as warm as I would like but nice. I noticed a huge difference in my reflection when I was peeing this morning(My toilet is beside my whirlpool tub so the whole corner is mirrored and I can see myself pee. Not a pretty picture.) Anyways, my stomache and arms are alot smaller now. I took my measurements tonight and I have lost 1 1/2 inches of my waist and 1 inch of my flabby arms since April 17. I was surprised.

Kempy, WAY TO GO ON THE 2 POUNDS!!!!! WOOHOO!!!!

Noelle, good luck this weekend. I need it too. We are going to do another fire for the kids and we bought good hot dogs (I should be okay with not eating the hot dogs)and the stuff for smores again. I loved those smores. HELP!!

Jen, HAVE FUN!!!

Sandy, that is what we are doing(S Corp..) too. He said it would save alot in taxes. Did you get a chance to enjoy this nice day today?

Emily, I hope your sons infection heals up soon. Poor baby.

Hello my friends!
It is so darn hot here, I think 88 maybe 90, havent seen the news yet. Had to stop by Dairy Queen with the boys for a cone!

Emily- From one newbie to another... WELCOME!

I'll try to check in this weekend between packing boxes!

I am going to try to stay OP this weekend and exercise both days! That will be a beginning. Off to Costco! ~N

Hi there, I just got back from Evans choral concert. It was okay, I mean the kids did a wonderful job, just he music is really not my kind of music. Then they have this adult group mixed with some kids and they stuck them in the middle of the nights events so you had to stay so your kid could finish......rrrrrrrrr...but the final song was wonderful!! The kids got to pick it and they did an awesom job.

Anyway, Angie....good luck on the accounts still then. Hope you get them. Wow you lost inches and lbs and are doing so good!!! Keep up the good work!!!

Kempy: Glad you got your work out in. And congrats on the loss.

Noelle: Yes, I was really busy today. They had suggested we send payroll out to a company....but I can't see that it will save us any money really. I mean I do the payroll, well the computer does it? So I don't see the big deal? I'm wishing you luck at all the bbq's you will be attending this weekend. Have fun with your company.

Emily: hope all went well at the doctors.

Neesh? where are ya?

Hugs to all,

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
Neesh~~ we were posting at the same time....so now I know you are around...lol...don't get to overheated witht he packing.

Oh my gosh, I have missed so much. I have been so busy getting things ready, I haven't even had time to think. It's midnight now and I need to get up in 4 hours to finish packing things up, and then we are leaving at 6 a.m. Welcome to the new girls. Angie, hope you still get the accounts, oh gosh and everyone else HI. I hope you all have a FAB week, and I'll post once I get back into town. Don't forget me. Bye.

Luv ya ladies.

P.S. My sis decided not to go, I think everybody is going to have a better time including her. Bye!

The saga continues.....BIL has the accounts back I guess. Jay went into the stores and they were there this morning so whatever. He is going to ***** her out for sure on Monday since he talked to her yesterday and she must have known what was going on. I hate being used as a pawn to get someone else to do what you want. That company has done this to us about 4 other times in the past. Next time they call I will just say F**k off!! So on with my own life. :olo:

Weigh in...It is official the 139 stuck!!! Oh my god that is a shocker.

Sandy, My kids have so many concerts each year. I wonder why they never do plays like they did when we were kids? The concerts are so long and boring.

Jen, We will miss ya!!! Have fun!

Neesh have fun packing this weekend.

Happy Saturday! I just got in from a great morning walk--took me an hour and a half, 20 minutes more than my usual AND I ran into an old friend so we got to chat and walk together. It was wonderful and I'm feeling really good right now.

Angie congrats on your STUPENDOUS loss! :dancer: That sucks about your BIL. I don't know what to say except eventually what goes around comes around, it's just a matter of time. Peace girlfriend!

Jen I'm do happy you'll be able to have a fun time!!! Let us know how it went and have a safe trip!

WooHoo Kempy, 2 lbs down!!! Well on your way :cp: !


Sandy, Neesh and Emily hope your weekend is starting off well.

Take care everyone, check back w/ya gals later.

Well, now that I have finished cleaning the house it is raining again. I was going to go out and work on my pot plants. I guess not now.

Angie I can't beleive that happened. Your hopes are up and then they are down. I hope you get a response to the e-mail and also that Jay chews some butt! You are doing awesome girl! I forgot to do my measurements when I start but it was only a couple of weeks ago so I am going to do they tomorrow so I can keep track. I am still not really looking at myself in the mirror so I can't tell if there is any progress.

Neesh all of the power to ya this weekend. I hate packing and moving. If I can help it we wont be moving for a long while.

Sandy I don't even remember doing any kind of concert when I was little. We always had talent contests. I was never in thouse. I never could do anything.

Noelle can you mail the BBQ to me? I will gladly eat it. Although by the time I get it it might not be to good. :lol:

Angie, sorry that Irving is messing around with you all, hope all gets straigtened out soon.

Noelle, thanks for the happy weekend thoughts, yes so far my weekend is great. Hope yours is too.

Now for the funniest thing I read....

that is what Kempy wrote and I about peed my pants.:lol: :lol:

Hugs,

Too funny!!!:lol: I didnt catch that until you pointed it out.

I made it through not eating anything bad so far today. But the kids are doing smores tonight. I may eat some of that.

I wrote a letter to the manager saying how I felt about being yanked around repeatedly and I am going to fax it to her Monday. I figure this way it is a professional letter and everything gets said. I said in the future when you want to switch do not call me until you have made a definate decision and date when to start because it isnt fair to get my hopes up when they just go back to their unlicensed vendor anyway.

LMAO at the "pot plants"- I didn't notice it either, just pictured nice potted flowers :) Too funny...

Angie- that really sucks about those accounts, sounds like you are dealing with it really well though! I'm sure I would have eaten through my cupboards! The letter sounded good too...

Well, I don't quite have a grip on my eating, but it's coming...You guys are all great motivation to start again!!
We bought a new TV- our old one died and we just couldn't get it back. Thought we could get through the summer w/out-- re-runs and all, but I just cancelled my gym membership and bought the WAAP videos for when I can't get out for walks (sorry for the run-on :) ) SO broke down and spent the big bucks (had to get a bigger one y'know!)

Well, it's not so easy typing with a squirmy baby so I'll say good-night. Hope you are all having a great weekend!

Good Morning!!! I succumbd to the smores last night but that is okay because I ate clean and healthy all day so it isnt a bad thing.

I have 3 baby robins in a nest in my tree. So cute I go out and watch the mommy feed them during the day. My cat killed a chipmunk and put it under the tree. Hmmm, do you think they are trying to tell them something. :lol:

I fell in love with a dog at the shelter in Auburn. It is a silky terrier.

I love Bill Blass sizing. I can fit into a size 6 jean made by them and it is loose. A 4 would be perfect. That is the way to size jeans. Make them bigger and put a smaller size on them so the consumer feels good after trying them on. :lol: I found 2 pair at the good will store yesterday and grabbed them. I bought a ton of tops at Mardens(a discount outlet) now I have to go back and return some. They are tighter than I would like and one has a stain and one isnt stitched all the way. So Monday should be fun for me. But hey, after we left Jay was looking at the receipt and they never charged him for his Nikes. COOL!!! Free sneakers. Now I guess I can grab more tops next time. haha
