Well I'm off to work shortly. I hope the day goes by fast. I hope that I manage to get home in time for the start of the Bachelorette!

Jayne, I never thought of that! If that's the case then our BC didn't work. It would be really bad timing but we'd handle it if that's the case. Guess if my TOM isn't here by Tuesday I'll be looking into it!

Kier, I love my crockpot! I leave it on overnight or while we're gone all day at work & have never had a problem. Its the easiest best thing ever. Just make sure you get one where you can pull the inside apart to wash-that way its much easier plus then it can be put in the dishwasher if you want.

Belle, wow your life sounds hectic right now! I hope that you still can find some time for yourself & time to be OP!

Anyway I should go to work. Talk to you all later

[bullfroglover]

Belle, why do people keep asking if you are getting married? Unfortunately, I get the same thing. It's really annoying. Been with my man 4 and a half years, we live together, and constantly get that question. It was really bad on Valentine's day because 2 girls in my class got engaged, and they all know about my relationship, so the question was asked often. We are just graduating from college, and want to save up some money before the engagement. I actually know 4 people who got engaged last valentine's day. Crazy!!!

KT, wow, 2 years for a BSN??? Ours took three, and that is not counting pre-reqs....feels like forever. But I put my cap and gown on yesterday(had just picked it up) and reality really hit me.....wow, college graduation!! My classmate is actually counting down the days.(81 to be exact.)

Well, this weekend my family is having a thing for my grandma's birthday...big celebration, she'll be 86. This will be my first time foing away and still trying to stay OP. A bit nervous anout that. We'll see how I handle it.

Ahhh, finally, hump day. Tomorrow I get to sleep in, and added joy since I've be waking up at 5 AM the past 2 days.

Well, ladies, I'm off...have a great day everyone!!

Robin - its been only 2.5 years with my b/f - we have lived together for 1.5 years and at every stinkin' occasions its "did he propose?" "do you think he'll propose" " any talk of a ring" and after a while I want to slap the people who ask.....especially my 60 year old spinster aunt. I am only 26 (actually, its my 27th b-day on Saturday) so its not like I am running out of child-bearing years or anything!! Yikes...

OK there is my rant for the day.

Got a 1pm meeting so must run....adios amigas!!!

[Sweater Girl]

Kirsty: I am back to counting all the time too. I know where I want to be in four months for my friends wedding. I have a big batch of veggie soup on my fridge, tons of veggies and healthy low-point snacks. I just gotta be careful.

Rina: My boy is doing well, I get to see him tomorrow. We hardly see each other, but we've both agreed to take this slow. He's such a sweetie, he was hoping I was better so he could see me awwww... I am so in like:P Yet, I do like the space we're giving each other... sometimes when people start dating they suddenly forget all their friends, I don't want to do that... I did that before a few times.

Lori: is candle pin what I call duck pin I wonder?

Tonya: yeah, I want to make sure I can fit in my shorts as well. The worst thing is I bought them all when I was a size 4/5. Maybe the smallest I won't be able to fit into, but I want to be down to a 5.

Belle: Glad you're still around! Good luck with the moving Are you an aquarius or a pisces?

Jess: I bough 24 500ml bottles of water yesterday and they're helping immensly. Might be a slightly expensive way of doing it (though I am planning on refilling with brita water), but it keeps me drinking all day.

Robin: little red dresses can be damn sexy too But yeah it's a cool goal to have. It really drve me thinking about the clothes I wanted to wear etc.

Jayne: I really gotta start with a crockpot.. my roomie has one and says I can use it. All your recipes look so good

Robin M: It's funny since we basically had the first same 10%. Once I reached that I knew I would get to goal. I am actually at goal now, I just want to be a few pounds lighter... Nothing too extreme though.

Anyhoo, have a good day all!

OK - Just used my break to read all the posts and it's almost time to get back to work. I'm not at my regular job for the next couple of weeks so my internet access will be sporadic at best.
Hi to everyone and here's my fantastic news:

I WENT BACK TO MEETINGS!!!!!

I'm very excited about this. It's what I need to be accountable to myself. I've been OP so far today (even with forgetting my premade lunch at home) and I will be able to do this!

Thank you so much to all of you for your support. Without this thread and all of you guys, I might not have ever gone back to the meetings. I'm going to go change my sig so I can be even more accountable.
Have a great day everyone.
KT

I weighed in tonight and only gained 4/10's of a pound. YIPPEE!!! It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I needed that motivation. My leader was talking about the "Wendy plan". He said it really works.Have you heard of it? I'm going to try it this week.

Ali: Hello

Tonya: I hate the treadmill, but I have to do it. I'm sick of "Chub Rub", that is when you wear a pair of shorts and your thighs rub together and the inside of your shorts ride up between your legs. Not pretty.

Jayne: I've been hearing a lot about "Leslie". Can you buy it anywhere?

Jess: Even when I cheat BIG, if I drink all of my water I usually do pretty well. You might check into that "Wendy plan" also. I'm going to try it this week and I'll let you know how it goes.

KO: I also love TARjay but unfortunately I live out in the middle of nowhere so the closest one is 1 hr 45 min away. I went before Valentine's and bought my husb a shirt that says "It's all about me"....so true.

Lori: Congrats on your loss! I prefer ten pin over candlepin but in ME candlepin is the most popular.

Kirsty: Good for you for planning on counting points this weekend. I would just blow it off.

Rina: I'm always tired. I think it's the extra 70 pounds on my ***. I'm almost sure of it...

Belle: Hello!!

Jayne: Do you mean buy a size 22 little black dress? I don't sew and I will have to take it so far in...

Rina: Sounds like you wouldn't be too disappointed about having a baby.

Robin M: I married my ex-husband in 1987, divorced him in 1997, married him again in 1999, divorced hin again in 2001. Now we are living together and getting along better than ever. I changed back to my maiden name and never plan on marrying him again. I'm sure our son will be in therapy forever-I feel like such an awful mother. But at least we're all together and surprisingly our son doesn't seem too effected by all of it. Kids are pretty resilient.. Don't get married if you're happy-it's just a piece of paper. So if anyone here wants marriage advice-you might NOT want to ask me...

Ali: I'll take any color as long as it's little.

KT: I need those meetings too.

Since I weighed in and I don't have to do it again for another week I am going to have an ice cold Bud Light (2 points). Cheers!

[momofoneson]

I just went to the frig and all of the Bud Light was gone!!! I felt like that commercial where that man looks in his frig and screams in horror! Oh well-two points saved....

[momof4girls]

Well, I am coming in late...and have not posted in a few days. Hi to the new members!!

So far everything looks good with the pregnancy...the hcg levels have doubled like they were suppose to and my spotting has stopped. So, looks like we will be having a baby in October. I have my first ultrasound on March 10 to double check dates.

About BCB.....I actually like it. I know I am in the minority but I like the hard core approach. It may not be for everyone, and I try to stay away from blasting others who may fall...but I do like the site, and the people on it. Just my opinion...don't kick me outta here though please!

Went it weigh in tonight and am down 4.5 pounds. Last week was cancelled so that was a 2 week loss.

Anyway, hi to all!!

Angie

[Sweater Girl]

Angie: Of course you can be on BCB and on here Good news on the hgc levels too

Robin: was having a perfect day and then went out to dinner... I made okay choices... the feta vegetarian burger, corn as a side dish and just a taste dessert. I am estimating 18 points for that all... which brings me to 29 which is okay to maintain... but I want to keep under 23 right now. But yes, I am sure you'll fit into that little black dress and you will feel on top of the world!

KT: Congrats

Take care!
