Thursday's Empty?

  • I can't possibly believe that I'd be the first to post. I'll try this and see if it works.
    KT
  • OK, that seems to have worked. I hope this is nothing to do with the crash. I've been invited to go to a big bra sale at Victoria's Secret tomorrow. Quite the road trip - and so exciting - crossing the border for bras!! Do they have any for larger busted women? My little sister is excited because she loves their body lotion so she's asked me to pick up a bunch. I'm going to get back to work. Where is everyone!?!
    KT
  • Hello KT.

    Well, I'm not sure if anyone will remember me. It's probably been over a year since I've posted. I remember everyone. Belle, KT, Tanya... I remember everyone and have missed you all.

    Work started monitoring our internet usage, and I don't have internet at home... so I have missed you all. Work still monitors, although I've figure that if I come and post once a day... I should be fine.

    So... my WL story... things have been good. Highest weight was 220. Lowest weight 125! But then, this summer I went to Tahoe and San Francisco, then I went to Spain, the holidays came, went home. By the time Christmas was over I was 140. I was in shock and so mad at myself. I was close to losing 100 pounds! But I got back on track the day I came back. And in 12 days I've lost 5 pounds.

    So, currently I'm at 135.

    Brian and I are doing well. For those that do remember me.... Brian and I had just started dating when I left the board. It's been a year and a half and we're talking about getting married. No ring yet. But we're talking

    Belle... speaking of marriage... CONGRATULATIONS GIRL. That is wonderful and you look beautiful in your wedding gown. Gosh I remember when y'all were just dating, and you weren't sure about things! (I'm assuming it's the same guy). He's a lucky man.

    Missed you all and hope I am welcome back.

    Lisa
  • OH MY GOSH, LISA!!! IT'S SO GOOD TO SEE YOU!!! I had to type that in case you're still online so you'll see it. Now I'll go back and do some reading...
  • Hey KT,

    I couldn't get on the website all morning, so maybe that's why you were the first to post. I was totally OP yesterday, amd on my way today. I even got up this morning and did part of the carido sculpt firm tape. I just didn't have time to do the whole hour (made it through about 40 mins). Anyway, that's about it for me. BBL
  • Ahh, I took too long to post. Hi Lisa, I remember you! Welcome back, 135 is awesome!! Congrats! Is 120 your goal? I can only fream....lol

    Hi Jess!
  • KT--I couldn't get on here today, maybe others are having the same troubles... As far as the Victoria's Secret sale goes--I'm a 38DD and have only found one bra from there that worked for me. I don't know if they've expanded into larger sizes--I haven't been in a VS for years (because I can never find anything). If you happen to run across their lip balm (it's like Soothing Nights or something--it's peppermint and it's awesome), pick one up for me.

    Lisa--I can't believe you're back, I'm so glad to see you!! I still think of you often--you always offered some spectacular advice, and I'm still making the chicken quesadillas you suggested. I'm so glad that things in your life are going well--it sounds like everything is wonderful... I remember Brian--I also remember you were a little iffy about him at first, I'm glad to see that you overcame that.

    OK, I don't have much else to say. I better get back to work...
  • Hi Lexxy!
    Hi, Lexxy!! I read your post about the Discovery Health Weight Challenge and I'd seen the commercials and stuff. really wanted to do it!! However, we don't have a Discovery store for me to go WI at--Nebraska is mostly cows, corn, and football players, so I won't be able to get all the free stuff or go to Bally Fitness Center. But if you want to, we can do that challenge (only if I get to play, that is!).
  • JESS!!!!!!! Babe!!! Oh, I missed you!!! It's so good to hear from you! I hope things are going well! Yes, can you believe I was iffy about him? But he's turned out to be the most wonderful guy I've ever met. He makes me happy, and I still get all giddy when he calls or comes over. I was worried because he looks so much older than me, although he's only 4 years older than me. I was too worried what others thought. I'm so happy to be back. And do you know how wonderful it is to come back and see the same faces. It's comforting.

    Lexxy... baby. It's not just a dream... I know you can do it. Please... if I can do it, you can. The week before I started weight watchers I was in a dietician's office hoping to get put on Meridia or something. She told me she couldn't prescribe medicines. I was crying and we were talking. She told me at 220 pounds it was unrealistic to think I could lose 100 pounds. She told me that I'd never be "skinny"... so to focus on being healthy. Well, once she told me I'd never be skinny... I joined WW and guess what. Maybe not skinny... but getting there!

    Here's a pic of me before and at my lowest. This is in May when I was 125. I'm 10 pounds heavier now, but I'll get there again. This is Brian with me... I love him!

    Lisa
  • LEXXY!!! Whatever... I just went and saw your picture in the photo thread... and you look like you're at your healthy weight!!! Just a dream! HA! You are DREAMY!!!!
  • Lisa!! You are looking Fantastic!!! It's so great to have you back. You're quite the inspiration.
    Jess - I think I'm looking more for creams than bras but whatever, it's the roadtrip that should be fun. I'll certainly try to enjoy some lip balm for you.
    Lexxy - I had my tapes that I did every now and then (not with any sort of regularity) but now that I have the roommate, I don't have the option cause she tends to watch a lot of TV. It makes me miss them.

    OK - back to work. I like this smilie because it looks like the snowman is embarrassed. Maybe he's melting.


    KT
  • LISA! It's so good to see you back!! When did you reach goal? You look great in that photo! (PS I married a guy named Brian just over a year ago!)

    So I'm now house-hunting full throttle, ladies. In fact, DH and I almost put an offer on a house today, but we decided against it after much deliberation. There were many things about it I loved (hardwood floors, a fireplace, a big, deep bathtub), but other things we weren't sure about ... namely, the bedrooms were pretty small and it didn't have central air, and we weren't sure we wanted to have it installed (it was built in 1932). I also heard not-so-great things about the schools in this particular city, and since we want to have kids, that's a consideration.

    I'm just hoping the dream house comes along!

    On a positive note, I've been eating pretty well this week!
  • Ha! Lisa, thanks so much, but that picture of me is when I was 40 lbs lighter. Yes, I've gained that much back and am basically starting over. I think I got down to 150 at my lowest, and that's when that pic was taken. But you look really great in yours, and what's most important is that you found a guy you love. Actually no, what's most important is that the NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS ARE GOING TO WIN IT ALL!!! (I'm from Mass too!)

    Jess, I have that lip balm! It rocks and makes your lips totally shiny. I was just thinking about it today when KT posted about Viki's Secret. WIERD. And yes, we can still do the challenge! It starts Saturday, so get your engines ready.

    Kim, I'm trying to do the house thing soon too. Well condo, but still. Good luck!
  • Hi Everyone, like Lisa I used to post here a long time ago...I think it has been more than a year since I last posted

    Anyway, I rejoined WW on Tuesday night and I thought to keep motivated I would rejoin the group here! I remember many of you but there are also SO many new people.

    I have not done so well the last while as far a weight goes....At weigh in on Tuesday I was up to my highest ever I keep saying that I will do something about but never quite get around to actually doing it....SO this is the first step!

    I have had alot of other things happen since I was last here...I too got married - Nov 8, 2003(we have been together 10 years!!) and bought a house!

    Enough updates on me......BELLE....CONGRATS, I remember when you first started dating!!! Kim, you also got married YEAH...how is your job, if I remember correctly you work for a newspaper, you were always so busy!

    Anyway, I should get going I have to close down the office and get home!

    Talk to you soon

  • Hey all. I was in San Diego all week for work and came home tonight to find the server here at 3FC crashed. So did anyone see the pics I posted last weekend?? And if so, what did you think of the girls?? If not, let me know and I can repost the pics!

    That is all for my quicky. I have to go back to work tomorrow and I am sure I will be swamped! More later!
