Good Morning!! I'm totally bummed about the server crash, but let's get revved up about weight loss. Whoohoo!!

I'll post my wedding dress (not ordered yet, but I think it's the "one") for you guys to see (again).

The crash does suck, but that's life! At least it's still here today, right?? The price we pay for the web

I was totally OP yesterday and the day before - yay!! I am over the xmas/new years splurging thank goodness.

Must go to meeting, but BBL

PS - that is me in the dress, so please feel free to comment on how it looks on me (ie: the arms....are the arms OK?)

So, where has everyone been lately?? I know with the Holidays people get busy, but now it's time to get back into the swing of things and start posting again. For awhile, it was really busy but it seems to have dropped off...

Anyway, hopefully today will be a busier day around here.

Had WI last night. I received my 16-week award. Neat-o. I received that before I've even received my first 5 lb bookmark. That sucks, doesn't it?

Not much else going on here. Hopefully your lives are more exciting than mine right now.

Beautiful!!! Beautiful!!! And the arms are fine.

Hey Ladies!

So glad the forum is back up. Bummer about the crash, but at least now we can't feel guilty about having to catch up on posts, right?

Belle, love the dress, arms look totally fine. Plus, the wedding is ages away, so you have time to pump some iron if they bother you.

Jess, bummer about not hitting 5 lbs yet. You'll get there!

I myself am a lardass today, had to wear eleastic waist pants to work (am supposed to be wearing a suit!! - 2 are at the cleaners).

Thanks Jess! I hope you are being sincere, remember, I dont know where you live!

I was wondering where everyone is too! What is up with that? I try to post every chance I get - anyway, I must go. I have to leave early to take my dog to the vet - he is getting to the end I think, and I am struggling to come to terms with that....poor old Barney!

Oh man, I just noticed that the signatures were restored from November as well....gotta go move that number up again

Lexxy--I gotta move my number back up, too. Dang--I liked my weight a lot better in November... And you're wearing the EWP's today? (That's what all of us gals with weight issues here at work lovingly call Elastic Waist Pants). I love my EWP's. Even when I'm skinny I probably won't give them up.

Belle--I was being completely honest about your arms. They really do look fine. If they didn't, I'd say something like "have you considered wearing some sort of wrap?" Or I'd say "Hey, you know what works really good to tone up your arms". But you look fine. I'm sorry to hear that your dog is maybe nearing the end. It's so hard to cope with the loss of a pet--I'm still dealing with the loss of my guinea pig. Sometimes I'll just start crying out of nowhere. And recently, there's been a commercial on TV about the legend of the Rainbow Bridge and it gets me bawling every time. But if you need any help, pop by here and get support.

Seriously, I'm so not in the mood to work. But I suppose I better get something done. I'll be back later a whole bunch, I'm sure.

Morning all!

I'm ready to get back into it too! Finally the holidays are over, so I don't have the temptation to eat ALL THE TIME. I tossed the bad food, have my meals planned for the rest of the week and my gym bag packed. If I can make it across the ice to get there (we got something like an inch of freezing rain on Sunday so the parking lots are still covered since it's still cold out!)

Belle - gorgeous dress - I love it! I seriously don't see anything bad about your arms in that dress, it's beautiful!

Lexxy - I had to break out the pants from the back of my closet yesterday too... way too much eating all weekend. I only have elastic workout pants though - it would be way to tempting to live in actual work elastic waist pants!

Jess - I'm not in the mood to work today either! I just want to go home and watch TV... guess that's not going to happen and I should just deal with it, right?

I tried to fix my sig but I don't remember the numbers right now. They're higher than I want them to be and I used up flex points on candy and cake last night. More stress today at work. We closed early yesterday because of the snow. It wasn't a lot but the buses don't get up the mountain and we have to close. This morning cars were sliding back down and we had to go to the other side of the mountain so I was 45minutes late - but so were a lot of people. Gotta fly but I had to say to Belle - it's bee-you-tee-ful!! I know you're not fitted in it but I would say get a really good corset type bra and it will be perfection. (cause you must look HOT! in your wedding photos!!)

EWPs!! LoL...they ARE totally comfy, but the drawback to them is that they don't hold anything in! I feel like my rolls are flapping all over the place. My friend thinks I should see a doctor because I am so freaking out about how much weight my stomach is gaining. She told me a nice story about how her friend's sister had that happen and turned out to be a huge tumor! I'll give it a few days....

Angie and KT, be careful in all that snow and ice! The cold weather is really putting a cramp into my running plans. It was windchill of 8 this morning when I got up. I don't think so!

Oh, BTW, a couple friends and I are going to do the Discovery Body Challenge starting this Saturday. Anyone on here want to do it to? Basically you get weighed in and body fat tested. You get a little kit and a 3 month pass to Ballys. (it's totally free) Then in 12 weeks you go back and get weighed in again! It could be kind of a thread challenge or something?
