Okay, Lolly - I wonder if you could be any cuter!! I bet you were an adorable baby, eh?? Wow, those before and now shots are amazing!! Taht is inspirational

Kirsty - you ARE gorgeous.....move over Liz Hurley.

Belle

TOOT WOMAN TOOOT
you are gorgeous you should
on the meds note i got the ok from the doc to alternate days b/c my body holds on to meds longer i also reduced my dose
twice a day insted of 3 times I think the grease or whatever is coming out other places skin etc i dunno if its poss but who knows

I'm back to posting today. I have been out of it a couple of days because of a heavy work load. For the panties question, I love thongs only when I am wearing clothing that requires them. For everyday wear I like the cute cotton bikinis from victorias secret.

As far as the job question, I like my job right now, but I kinda wanna go back to school. I just don't know if I can pass the tests and get accepted. Its been a long time since I took a standardized test . Also, we'd have to put off kids for a while if I went back to school and I have a bit of baby feaver, so thats another hitch. I'll just give myself time to decide.

Lolly ~ Your pictures are so great! You and Kirsty are very beautiful!

Trish ~ Glad to hear that all went well at the Doctors! I would love to not work as well. I always hate coming back after staying away for a time.

Brenda ~ Congrats on the Avs winning!

Hi to everyone else out there!

For the weight question, I think that seeing myself on my wedding video and then in pics from the honeymoon made it click. Also, I was having gall bladder attacks, so that prompted me to sign up and actually do this.

Well I must go back to work. I'll check in later!

I'm supposed to be writing this book review and I am SO BORED!!! Thank you for all the cute comments about the photos, I've been promising to post them for so long I'm glad I finally stopped talking about it and did it!!! Note in the one of me and Kirsty that Miss Piggy has a pint of beer, while Skinny Bird has a white wine ... there's a lesson there for all of us

Trish - glad you've got the all-clear to go back to work. Will you miss the daytime tv??!

OOPS!!! pressed return and posted this before I'd finished it ... except now I'm editing I can't see everyone's posts ...

Belle - I've always been proud of my skin too, especially when I was a teenager and my skinny friends got acne and I glowed like a little fuzzy peach. It was like 'my thing' - so like Kierie says, toot away

Ali - SO IMPRESSED!!! Not just with your achievement, but your attitude too. Yay you!

Kay - do I remember right? Are you less than 2lbs from goal? YIPPEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!

Kierie - still sending HIRE KIERIE vibes to NYC ...

Hey! to everyone else,
Lxxx

but that wouldn't have been the only glass of white wine of the evening...
and if i recall correctly that was after a 4-course dinner with white wine, red wine and port. so god only knows how many points we had!!
if you really really really squint at the piccie you might notice a photo frame in the background. you might be able to see a before me (sitting in the middle of the front row). but i can't tell if it's the right piccie, so i doubt anyone else can!! sorreee
oh, and thanks for the sweet comments, i'm going to have trouble getting my inflated head out of the office tonight...

I am so stupid sometimes when it comes to eating. I am trying to lose weight here and I have WI today but I ate a cookie when I got to work! No tjust any cookie but a really good one that must be 6 points! I am going to WI at 5pm so I brought a 4 point lunch and had 1 point for bkfst. So why did I do it? Weakness! I am only working from 10-2 today becasue the client has cancelled our services until Sept due to financial; difficulties. They have asked for me to work 4 hours today and that is it. Don't know what I am doing this aftrernoon, hopefully nothing! I am definitely going to the gym for a good workout!

I am loking forward to tonight. MY BIL is driving up to surprise DH for his bday which is Sunday. I am making dinner and he will show up! Then we are going to see an A Capella gorup sing. It should be a fun evening. Tomorrow is a baby shower and difficult food. Oh well, I'll do my best. I have got to get to goal weight!!!!!!

Lolly - I love your pictures. You looked great at the wedding and in the stiped top!

Kay - Take your time in deciding whether you want to go back to school. It is a big decision. I have a friend who started last year and is trying to get PG now. It is going to take her a long time to finish her program.

Ali - Glad to hear that WW is still going well. I hope you are getting used to the funny looks when you go to meetings. I am sure that everyone is very impressed when they find out your accomplishment. Congrats on being able to wear skirting withouth the rubbing!!

Trish - Going back to work is no fun but on the bright side, at least you are able to go back to work. That is great!

Belle - I wish I had your skin! Mine has been worse lately and it had been good for a long time

Kirsty - always partying!

I get jealous of skinny people who on't have to work at it as well. I don't mind going to the gym and mostly I enjoy it bb/c I feel so good afterwards but it would be nice to know that I could skip a day. Like Kim said yesterday, it would be nice to be able to eat cake and not think twice about the points.

Ok, better scoot. Have a great day everyone. Hi to all! Cross your fingers fdor me for WI tonight!

Sarah
194.4/160.2/160DR

Lolly i have this pic of u in my head waving ur hands like ur casting a spell going HIRE KIERIE lol

lolly is actually a fully-trained witch. and i am a slayer (well, i've got my green belt in karate)...

Hey All...Don't have much time to post , so really quickly..

Lolly, those pics are awesome!!!

On the jealousy thing-I think I am jealous of those people that don't have to work at it at all...but I know they have more self control than I do around sweets and stuff...like last night I really blew it-I ended up with 39 points for the day and couldn't make WI this AM b/c of work...so i'm going to try to go tomorrow morning....we'll see..

On the thong thing-I've never tried-I always wanted something there to hold in the jiggle...but maybe I'll try a pair...

Lori "must resist the Dunkin Donuts"

Kirsty if shes willow and you're buffy
does that make me Cordelia

yeah - if you want! cordelia is fab (she's really good in angel i think).
anyone want to be faith or anya or tara? (sorry lolly - you might still be at the werewolf bf stage in your life but i'm rushing you on to the lesbian witch stuff)....

no i haven't started drinking yet. at least another hour before free drinks at work (someone's leaving do).

and then home for big brother 2 (eviction night tonight and stuart has gotta go cos he looks like a vampire off of buffy and he is a four-letter word beginning with t that rhymes with bat that i'm not sure i can use on here).

k

ps lori - resist those donuts!

Remember when we were kids and fought over who we got to "be"? That was funny.....I do not feel like working today.

B/f's mom is coming from New Brunswick in 3 weeks tomorrow!!

I wanted to be at 200, but I don't think I can do 3lbs/week to get there. So, I will have to settle for 202-205 (that requires work in and of itself). Hopefully I can burst this plateau!! Ah.

Maybe I should try running 4 or 5 times a week rather than just 3? (or 2 which is what I usually get in).

BUT I do feel way healthier! I sleep beter at night, i have way more stamina! Good for hochmagandy! and also for things like going up stairs, I bounce now. Its great. and so different.

Well, off to the ONE meeting of the day (yay!)

Belle the almost fit

Good morning ladies!!!

Wow, so many discussions going on!! Here's my take....

1. Underware - I have not gotten used to thongs yet, in fact, I have been going "panty-less" lately, (rebel, I know! )

2. As for my click - It came after I got my 10 year class reunion pics back. When I went to the class reunion, I remember thinking to myself, "Wow, the girls in my class are going to be jealous of how I still look like I did in high school". Who the **** was I kidding after I got the pics back, I was 168 pounds and even looked fat in an all black dress! So, that was the click. The next day, I borrowed my mom's WW material, and never looked back. Now, my 15 yr class reunion is in 2 years, I plan on going not at 168, but at 135 pounds, which is 10 pounds lighter than high school.

Lolly and Kirsty ~ Love your pics girls! You both look fabulous!!!! Lolly, you are exactly how I pictured you, which is rare, since most people are nothing like you pictured them!!! Kirsty, you are nothing like I thought you would be....I was thinking, short, dark, curly hair...I was WAY off!!!

Belle ~ I have been thin my whole life (except after my pregnancies, which is where my weight issues came from, anyway), I would give my little pinky to have a flawless complexion. I am still taking medication to clear up my skin, it looks pretty good now, no zits for a year or so, but it took a long time to get it looking good. BTW ~ I think you have wonderful qualities, not just complexion. From your pic, you have a terrific smile and are very photogenic!!!! Don't ever sell yourself short!!

As for jealousy, yeah, I do look at thin women, especially beautiful ones, and think, aw, man...they have it good. I know many of them don't. Now that I am almost at the weight I want to be, I don't think that much anymore. I think it is a natural reaction....

Trish ~ Look forward to the time you will have off with your new baby!!!

Ali ~ I think it is fabulous at how much weight you have lost! You are an inspiration to all of us!!

Hello to everyone else, sorry I didn't get an opportunity to respond to everyone. I am involved in a big retirement reception at the university and will be out of my office the rest of the afternoon, so I wanted to quick post to say "hi".
