OMG, with that, I have to leave before I have to take a picture. But I do understand what you are saying. Have a great day everyone.

Picture of an Upchuck :scared2: Not sure I want to see that.

Morning. I'm in on the challenge. But I'm sad, I don't want to post my weight.:scared2: or is it ??? I will very honest with what I do lose. I have a Doc appointment Oct 26th. So you see, I have to be on my best behavior. Cari, how horrible. I'm not sure I would have left my car either. And as far as my Husband leaving me there. He used to work at a major car manufacturing plant here, there was no way he could have walked off the line. The one time he did have to leave for an emergency surgery I needed, he had to wait for them to pull another person from somewhere. Never question his loyalty to you. As far as your boss, I'd let it roll off your back. Just make sure that you did everything to make sure you were safe. It's sad that in this economy we have to worry so much about our jobs. Good Luck with it. Tracy, down 2 already? You lucky girl. I have a support group meeting this weekend and they are asking us to bring "Healthy" foods. Something that we would never think about buying ourselves because we might not like it and don't want to spend the money on it. Like Boca Burgers, Hummus. Stuff like that. I'm gonna look around on the internet and see what I can come up with that is different. Very busy day ahead of me so I will check in when I can.

I just finished a long e-mail to a friend of mine that left last week for her winter home. I miss seeing her. Cindy, I hope you get to feeling better fast. That sucks about your appointment. Can it be rescheduled? I'm working on the mind thing so I can get my head in the game. I know I can lose it. It's just convincing myself. I'm working on it. Night everyone.

Ten Pound Challenge....Holy Smoke Stack. I was thinking more along the lines of 5 pounds. LOL. So, it looks like I'm in. In for a rough road. :mad: I can do this...I can do this...I can do this...... Hi Laura. Welcome to the Tall group. Actually I used to be 5'9". Somewhere in the last few years I have lost 2 inches. The scale at WW said 5'7" so the next time I was at my Docs, I had them check it. Yup, 5'7". Makes me second shortest in my family. Everyone else is ove 6 feet. Mimi, no way on this green earth are you a band failure. Any weight loss is not a failure. Even if you only lost 20 pounds. I never remember hearing my Doc say that you had to be super skinny by your first year. I'm into my third year and still have a ways to go. At least another 70-100. You do what is comfortable for you and keep coming to us to re-assure you. Are you sure it's a 10 pound challenge. :biggrin: I better get started.

Ahhhh...My first Hot Chocolate of the season. I love this time of year. I need to find my journal that I was using last spring and see if that will get me started again. I've never really been any good at journaling, in fact I hate doing it. I didn't do it when I was at WW, but I still lost. But I need to do something to see if I can get my eating under control. I just feel this need to push it. I need to get my head back in this and when I get that signal that I'm starting to get full that I need to stop. No more bites or licks. Why can't I get that back into my head, it's so frustrating. Have a great day and I'll check in soon.

I loved the whole Kelly thing going on It was so sweet to see her go kiss her Dad and to see Sharon cry. Ahhhh.

Hey Peeps. Home from the hospital. We were really busy tonight. I ran into an old friend while I was there. It was good seeing her. Hi Cindy, you are welcome here anytime you want. The more the merrier. I actually have tomorrow off, so that means a lot of running around. We haven't been able to get the pool closed up yet, so we are going to work on that this weekend. My nephew is going to come over and help. The cover is huge and we can always use an extra hand. Off to go get caught up on DWTS. See ya soon.

Hey Ladies. Home for about an hour before we have to head off to the hospital. I have a load of laundry going and I fixed a quick lunch for us. Kat, good to see you stop by. I'm sorry we didn't get to finish our conversation last night. I hope your friend will be ok. I will say a prayer for her. I hope we see you a little bit more here. See ya all tonight after I get home.

Even though I have lost alot. I still feel like I did 190 pounds ago. But when I see recent pictures of myself, I am shocked at the difference. But I still live with that Fat Girl. Some day she will leave me for good.

Jenn, those pics are amazing. You should feel really proud of yourself. You really deserve a Margi at this point. Home from work. Got in there and there was a letter from the night girl. She is quitting as of Oct. 1st. Our boss is out of town on a cruise. So it looks like more hours for me. I had asked that if any hours became available, could I have them. I was thinking maybe like 4-5 hours extra a week. Now I will have to wait and see what this will bring. The next 3 days are going to be very busy for me. I will check in when I can.

Jenn :smile2: :bored:

Morning Girls. Shower is taken, cats are fed and news is on the TV. I need to get moving soon. Have to get to City Hall and file for a salvage title for my nephew. Remember he crashed his car back in June? Well, just found out he never titled it or licensed it. 20 year olds!!!!! Ugh. Jenn, thanks for the wise quotes. A little kick in the butt first thing in the morning is what it takes sometimes. Temptless Tuesday! What do you think?

Shalee, you and your hubby can come here for the holidays. Last year I think we spent about $100. We are retired and need to save what we can for taxes. We really don't celebrate big anyway. Hubby's Mom passed away in Dec. My Dad passed away Dec. 20th, next year my Uncle died Dec. 21st and the next year my other Uncle died Dec. 26th. There's been a few others also. So as you can see, it is a struggle to get thru the holidays. I don't need the added stress of any gimme, gimme, gimme's. I stress enough with all the baked goodies and cookies.

Shalee, I thought I heard you rummaging through the cupboards. LOL. No sweets here. I keep them out. Except for the bowl of hard candies. Give me strength to make it through Halloween. I tried to take a nap, I probably got about 15 minute. It's storming here and the dog is scared s*#tless. Well, it was enought to take the edge off. I won't be falling asleep at class tonight.

Hey guys. We need to come up with a challenge for October. This will be the worst for me. I love Fall, Halloween and apple anything. Little Smarties candies, oh my. Jenn, I know what you are trying to say to me and I understand. I guess I'm so set in my relationship with hubby that I don't realize that I am alot like that also. I like my space and my time. But I also like a hug or a pat every now and than. The love of a good man without having to be their Mom, sister, Aunt or babysitter. Give it time. Concentrate on the kids right now. Your relationship will happen. I'm off to go take a little nap. Hubby kept me up several times during the night. He had a terrible snoring night. I kept hoping he would head to the couch and let me sleep. LOL.

Morning Girls. A new day, a new start. For all and for everything. I had some of the goofiest dreams last night, they went right along with hubby's goofy snoring. Jenn, you do need to take care of yourself first. You need to learn to like yourself and realize that you are your best friend. When you have that accomplished than there is NO guy out there that can take advantage of you. They will learn to respect you and take care of you. It's a hard road, but your a strong person. Scattered rain today here and on the cool side. It will be a good week for apple picking. I'll check in when I get off work.

Oh Jane. I chatted with Tracy a little this morning and she left before I could get an answer about the weekend in Oct. I for one will be there. Long week ahead of me. I kinda like it that way. Keeps my mind and hands busy. I need to find a job that will do that more often. Have a good one and I will check in when I get up in the morning.

Oh great, Cari just reminded me that I need to get over to Louisburg, KS. to go to the Cider Mill. Have you ever had warm cider donuts. Well, Don't Do It. You will be hooked. Kat, I have tried all summer long to get hubby and BIL out to the property to get some trees cut down so they can get ready to get cut up. Nope. Now we need firewood and will once again have to pay for it. I can't really complain. There is this guy who found us years ago, he delivers and stacks for $80. Hasn't changed his prices in 8 years. We always pay him extra though. Really nice guy. Not much planned for today. Just getting myself ready for the work week. My boss is on vacation so I will be working a few of her shifts. Have a great day and hope that everyone has had a great weekend.

Here's a few pics from our walk today.

Hi up there, Jane.

Ok, body hurts. My feet hurt. My head hurts. My band hurts. My fingers hurt. MY teeth hurt.................. Today's report.. Sausage, egg pattie, no biscuit. Walked 1 1/2 miles. Stood for 1 hour. Walked the Fall Fest to the end. Ate 1 funnel cake. Walked back to the other end of the Fall Fest. Bought a bag of Kettle Korn and am now munching on a small bowl. Need to make a Meatloaf, mashec potatoes, gravy, biscuits and green beans. Cupcakes for dessert. That's my food porn for the day. Starting tomorrow morning, I am never eating again. Well, till breakfast. Boy my feet are killing me.

Ugh..... I woke up at 4am and couldn't get back to sleep. My alarm is set for 5:30. So here I sit, with the tv on low. Cats are fed and back to their window seats. I need to get in soon and take my shower. We leave about 7am. to go do our walk. I'm taking my camera so I will post pics later today. Everyone have a great day and enjoy your weekend.

A couple of weeks ago at Wal-Mart as I was checking out, they had on the shelf these little boxes of cake mixes. There was enough in the box to make 12 cupcakes. I thought how cute, I'll get a few boxes to keep around the house here for emergencies. So today I decided to make a batch for hubby's b-day tomorrow. I made tham and than got down a can of frosting to put on later tonight. I'm out in the kitchen doing dishes and when I get all done go to frost the cupcakes. I take the plastic lid off and someone had gotten into the frosting. I just want to know when they got into it. You can definately tell they used a spoon. Did they do it while I was at work? I need to know if it's still good. So I call my sister and she said it wasn't her because if she had done it, she would have taken the whole thing. LOL. She also would have told me and replaced it. I called my nephew at work and he can't remember if he did or not. He said it didn't sound like him but that he would have to look at it to tell. ?????. OK. Well, thank goodness I had another can. Cupcakes are done and ready for tomorrow. I would certainately hate to think I bought it that way. It's not hard and crusty, all clean and wet like fresh frosting. It will get pitched either way. I just want the nephew to look at it.

Just got my workout in. I was cleaning my room and changing the sheets on the bed when I decided that it was time to flip the mattress. Not just flip it but to switch boxsprings. Do you know how much a king size mattress weighs when it is just you moving it. Well, let me tell you. 2 tons, add that to the fact that the cat had to stand on it the whole time. Like I needed that extra help. Hubby came home and said I should have waited for him, lol. Uh huh.
