Oh I forgot one thing...Does anyone watch "the mole"? I think either Steve or Jim are the mole. Just curious...

Hi all!

Well, MIl brought over a big box of chocolates for hubby and me (meaning I got my own box) and it's ummm pretty much empty now. SIGH.

I polished it all off at two am because I was up all night with a sick kid. The chocolate was sooo relaxing at the time. Now I just feel sick. BLAH.

Stacey: I ate a lot of pumpkin custard when I had my teeth pulled out also yogurt, cottage cheese (non-fat) and I don't know if you have a juicer.....but I drank a lot of veggie and fruit juice. I could'nt really eat for like 4 days.
girl scout cookies are evil. Especially the somoas. Yikes! I am soo glad I have yet to encounter the cute little girl in the uniform

Lolly: I like the boy scout bob-a-week thing. You get a service rather than food. I wish girl scouts would do that to!
I hope you guy gets well soon.

Kim: Hello! Your post really did post.....I have that problem to.

Shalyne: Happy last day at work! When do you start school?

Trish: even just cutting down one per day is a good start. I noticed that when I cut back to I noticed a good loss.

Hi to everyone else! I have to go deal with a sick toddler (I think he has a double ear infection. Poor baby)

I'll chat soon!

Emily

Afternoon All! I have finished all of my reading for my seminar! So I have 20 minutes to kill so I can post

Lolly: I am currently running 2-3 times a week. I am going to see if there are any 5ks in my area which I can train for!


Trish: I am beginning to shift from diet coke to crystal lite, but I still drink way too much DC. Good luck on weening yourself from the D Dr. Peppers.

Shalyne: That's great you're going for your MBA! I'll go back fro my master's at some point I am sure, actually, I have to finish my BA, but after that (I will be done in May), I am going into a professional program and am going to work for a while.

Stacey: Having 2 pieces of chocolate is great, I have a tendancy to eat half a box (in one sitting) so congrats! I find FF chocolate pudding and sugar-free hot chocolate quench my chocolate cravings.

Kim: The girl guides in my area sell the mint cookies in november and they come around with the actual boxes instead of the order forms. Luckily I knew my bro loves them, so I sent a box to him in a care package! I am wondering about loose skin right now. I don't have a real problem with it yet or anything, but I am muscle training which I hope will help prevent it.

Brenda: of course, the party's at my house when my parents are gone

Lola: That's really cool, I was born and raised in the West Island area (okay just west of teh West Island, but I went to John Abbott and HS on the WI). I go to University here in the townships (can you guess which one ). I want to work in a museum eventually and I think Ottawa would be a cool place to pursue that, plus Algonquin has an intensive course on Museum studies. Weird coinky dink though!

Kay: I agree with you about Temptation Island, I have also kind of lost my interest in it.

Emily: It's just so hard to say no to the Girl Scouts. I used to be one (well I am a Canadian so I was a Brownie and a Girl Guide) and I don't think I had anybody reject my attempts to sell them cookies

Okie, I have class in 15 so see ya!

Hey Brenda and Kay... When I got PG I was down 30 pounds with 30 more to lose. Yah I was disappointed that I hadn't lost all the weight, but I was even more happy that I was PG. I gained the average amount of weight, about 35 pounds, and my doctor was happy with that. Most of that weight came on near the end when the baby really grew. I really didn't look like I was gaining a lot of weight. The part that really got me is that AFTER Emma was born I gained a little (5 or so pounds) and didn't lose any. I found it really hard to stay full, mostly because I was breastfeeding and needed 600 more calories a day. I think most women that don't b-feed are able to lose the weight quicker, but then again I have heard the opposite. None the less, don't be afraid to have children because of your weight loss. REMEMBER... when it goes on quick, it is easier to take off. If you stay focused and are determined to lose the weight afterwards, I don't see a problem. Again, I was so panicky and my hubby hollored at me about it... but remember, you have to do what is good for the baby, and they are just a joy to have!!

GOOD LUCK!!!

Jen

PS... The funny thing is that about 1 year ago is when I actually became PG... hubby thinks it was Valentines Day, but it could have been anywhere from Feb 12-15... Get to it!! *wink, wink*

it will be interesting to see in a couple of months if any of us wind up with a bambino on the way....

for those of us who aren't ready for that....good luck, the rest of you - YOU GO GIRLS...

Belle

Hey everyone!
Belle: Glad your job is going well! What are you doing now?
I didn't resist the chocolate today. Tomorrow is my "new" day, instead.
I don't know when I'll get to see my sweetie. He's been delivering flowers all day and probably will into the evening. I have choir until late, too! The only problem is our favorite teams are playing each other tonight! I don't want to go to bed angry...
Is it time to go home yet? This has been a very very long day for me!!!!
Well, I have to pick up dinner for my parents and myself so have a good evening everyone!

Happy V Day Everyone !

B/F was very nonchalant (SP?) about today...kinda put me in a bad mood....we started e-mailing each other on this day 3 years ago...so we've celebrated it as an "anniversary" too. It's like he totally forgot !

Low and behold when I got back from lunch...I got the biggest long stem roses I have ever seen in my life ! On our first date, he brought me a single huge rose....these blow it away ! I guess men can surprise you....I'm then envy of the office !

In the note...he said that he was so proud of me for doing WW and he'd thought I'd like this more than chocolate !

I'm off the gloating...now on the subjects of Diet Coke. I am an addict ! There I've said it....I dont' like coffee....so this is my caffeine fix....in the morning for sure...even with breakfast ! it's so hard to stop...I have tried...I think I will take this bad habit to the grave....

Luckily, I don't know any scouts here...no cookie temptations...I love hte shortbreads dipped in melted hershey kisses ( b/f and I discovered this last year) so good !

I have to stop talking about food...he he

Talk to you all later....I need to earn my pay !

Drumroll please ... I lost 4.2! I was so excited! I had this huge grin on my face all through the meeting. I got to my 10 percent and even went 2.4 past it. How cool is that? I got my little 10 percent keychain, and another star, and boy, did that applause sound good. Even though I know I still have far to go, I feel great today! http://www.3fatchicks.com/ubb//spinning.gif

And, I came back from my meeting to find flowers from my b/f! All those hints paid off, I guess. A dozen peach roses and they're so purty! I generally like simpler flowers better (daisies, tulips, stargazer lilies), but I'm not complaining! It turned out he has to work tonight after all so I'm going to a friend's house for a dance party! My friend Eric is such a hoot. About a year ago he bought a house. He lives on the second floor, and has transformed the first floor and basement into party central. He's got a foosball table, a ping-pong table, a dart board, and he's decorated the basement to look like a dance floor. He painted the walls dark blue and has colored lights, strobe lights, a sound system ... he is the party man! So tonight I'll go dancing and work off that cheeseburger and fries I had from Wendy's today! (I've only had ONE piece of chocolate, though!)

Ali: I agree; it is hard to turn down Girl Scouts! I was one too, once upon a time. But it isn't so hard to turn down the parents who are trying to sell cookies for their lazy kids! Jeez, my best friend and I used to go walking all through the neighborhoods where I grew up. It was such fun. No one had their parents do the selling for them ... that was cheating when it came to the number of boxes you sold! But I suppose it's not as safe anymore for kids to tromp around the streets.

Hi to everyone, since I didn't get to respond to all! I need to finish something before I head home, so, see you all tomorrow!

Happy V Day Ladies!

I work at a college and all the single students are calling today Black Wednesday! This is my first Valentines Day ever with a bf I'm still at work but I know I will be burning the 2 points for hachmagandy tonight. I've also spelled out to him that I would like tulips but he's pretty oblivious to some things so we'll see.

I did really well on eating today. I had another yummy veggie sandwich for lunch. I think I may be hooked.

Have a great night ladies! TGIF for me tomorrow because I took Friday off, I'm going to go back to my college to visit friends I left behind when I graduated!

Suzanne

Hope everyone had a good V-Day!! Mine was great I got a dozen red roses and I honestly was shocked. I weigh in tommorrow at 6. I have been OP all week. It's my first week earning POINTS does anyone use them? I'm scared I won't lose if I do.

Brenda- Thanks for asking treadmill went good I earned 2 points(1.5 miles) I had walked 3 miles for the past two days but got busy. I think we'll be getting the same kind of exercise as you tonight

Everyone have a great day tommorrow. Off to bed now.

Oh gosh, our Girl Scout Cookies aren't here yet but I'm already worried.
