Laura - Pamela (Kity) post are out there. Maybe that is why you are missing it, we are calling her by name

Morning all OMG went to bed at 2am and my neighbor was pounding on my door at 8;30. He borrowed $70 I didn't have the other day (a true friend who needed help and I had it in my hand at the minute) and wanted to return it before he spent it. I'm glad because it was my cell phone money that is now late - but he has been there for me, so i'm very glad I could help, but at the same time glad i can run and pay my bill. I am NOT glad I'm awake - i'm so bloated. I am glad school next week, I can get into a regular eating habit and regular gym schedule. Nothing big planned for the weekend - going to relax. having a very emotional week and i don't think that is helping the diet. I have not made 1 good choce this week. oh well today is another day. well going to drink coffee...going to be a longggggggg day. Today is the first football game, my dd cheers. then doing a 9 hr shift and working on the ovens tonight. at least it cooled off.

MOJO passed. I think you all already got it, I stopped and everyone else is doing great. Sunday is the first...EVERYONE UPDATE THEIR EXERCISE CHALLANGE. School is on again, so life gets back to normal - which i so need. I've turned into a lazy slug the last 2 weeks

Yes, -18 but don't worry, I will be stuck until the next big drop. LOL well off to clean my room and shower for work. Friday is my long day

Morning violets TracyK - I lost 14 of it right after my fill and kept it off, another 4 on protein shake week after I gained back a few. I had a bad week this week. Mine goes in spurts too, i lose then do a great job of maintaining, the lose and maintain... at least it is staying off!!!!!!! I don't know what happened in August but I failed my exercise challange and by a lot, last month I exceeded, does that make up for it? LOL I have changed my august challange - I am going to get my butt out of bed every day with my dd when she goes to school, drop ds off at the sitter and go to aerobics. I have to ... time to boost this loss to hit my next goal... then ONEDERLAND HERE I COME!!!!! I was going to go today but realistically - I am going to start the week off right. TracyKS & Kat - Have a great time on your rally this weekend...i'm jealous. I have so many friends who camp I was thinking about picking up a used camper - cheap mini vacations. right now i'm so tapped it wouldn't matter - which sucks because I found a nice big self contained one for $1500, but... that is a mtg payment & car & motorcycle payment so you know what is not going to happen right now I bet Judy is having a great time, Hey Terry - did I mention how much I love my bracelet and wear it every day!!!!! you are so awesome Pamela - I hope your fill goes ok this morning, thinking about you everyone else i missed. MORNING!!!!!!!!

I've slowed down. I did lose 18 in August, but it was all quick and then nothing. Back to water aeorbics - if i'm not going to have a job, i might as well go to the gym like it is my job. 3 days a week i'm doing a dbl with water aerobics and 3 days a week weights. I need to get my ass in gear to kick it up to be down more. I'm no longer happy wearing the old clothes, I want new ones1!!!! TracyKS - sorry TOM is here in time for a quality alone time weekend Wow!!! #3 that says we are pretty darn special!!!

OMG Laura that is horrible - you should stop those pills, maybe loosing weight would regulate a bit more but obviously how is that going to happen on those pills??? what a mess!!!!!!!!!!1 off to work, ate breakfast and went back to bed. i'm getting in a funk and it is not a good one

Haydee - how long are you going to NY for? Maybe I'll come meet you for lunch or something while you are here? I would love to meet a fellow violet. Terry - I agree. I use to be even harder on myself than I am now, but I have been setting goals and if I don't make it, as long as I'm moving in the right direction I'm happy. that is huge for me. As long as i get there I'm good. Like my -75lb goal. I'll get there ... slow and steady

TracyKS - is that why that strange dent is there? I had that shortly after surgery and is just starting to go away Michelle - honelstly honey, they don't care in traffic court. Plea not guilty they will slap you on the hand, give you a fine and move on. they just want your money. (that is how it works here) CALL YOUR LOCAL LEGISLATOR!!!! Find out what you need to do to get something done about that spot and the right way to fight that fight, but traffic court is not it. I promise you that. I use to be there on a monthly basis. anyway, not weighing myself until tuesday, i only ate a small plate (child size) but dad came to work last night and cooked me and my step mom steak, mashed potatoes and summer squash. YUMMY Kat I'm cracking up.. let them go to pull out the wrinkles...

thanks tracy, I needed a good laugh... I have always had the opposite problem... well off to the sweat shop for the night..... Maybe I'll get my hair colored tomorrow... mood booster

I want to have the fat removed from my belly and moved to my boobs.... there is nothing to lift...LOL

Tracy - thanks girlfriend. I don't need anyone to beat me up, I am hard enough on myself. I know this I think that is the rest. I don't have a penny to my name at the moment. I have not left my house in days because I don't have money and have enough gas to get me to payday so I am not going anywhere - i have clothes that fit me and the only thing I wear are boxers and tank tops to work. As for bras... LOL that is depressing ... my boobs have shrunk this too shall pass... I might see about going out this weekend

Michelle - I am having the same kind of day, very frustrated with cheerleading and everything going on with that. I called the head coach this morning to try to get a grip on what is happening and how I felt that I could not even go to practice. I do feel better about that talking to her, but very very sad this week. I don't know what my problem is. I have been picking all day. at least high protein, had 4 slices of turkey bacon and 3 chicken tenders today. not the best choices. how do i get out of this funk? I think I'm honestly sad because I feel more changes going on, it is almost like good bye to another bad but comfortable part of my fat ass life.

wooooooohoooooooooooo Terry!!!! That is great no gain with not smoking!

Morning gals Unfortunately I'm up... Have not been sleeping great and just so tired, I can't seem to go to bed before 1 lately and have to get up with the kids. man, it is going to really suck next week when dd has to go back to school, she catches the bus at 6:50am!!! I am bouncing today, but it was hot last night and I wore my real shoes and my feet are so swollen. my stupid foot is really in bad shape, but since fall is around the corner I'm trying to get it in a shoe, can't wear flip flops forever. Tracy - you will be in those jeans... man a size 14... I can't remember when I last wore that size, let alone a 12. Terry - ok I failed my exercise challange this month. how sad last month I exceeded this month i suck. Next month back to normal. I'm going to change my plan next month when schol is in. Hello everyone else. slow start today

That is great Tracy - I am sure you can hit the teens!!!!! I am hungry today - probably because of all the crap I ate last night and it was late, still 213 today, i broke down and had to check... so going to grab a shake and get ready for work!!!!! Hope you all have a grat afternoon

Judy it worked for me... great pics, and what a great family.

Kat - get your head checked out girlfriend....it is important....but I'm sure it is allergy stuff, I've had a killer sinus headaches the past week and I have not had ones like that in a couple of years. Laura. I designed my tramp stamp too. Have fun at the concert, they are going to be here in Sept or Oct. Puddle of Mud is coming here at this local hall/bar, tickets are only 20, that is in my budget right now. LOL

Michelle - congrats for being down. slow and steady wins the race!!!! Pamela - I hope you have a better day today Laura - I agree with Tracy, love the tramp stamp. they are addicting, I'm getting ready to do another one - or add to the one on my ankle, I want to bring it down and wrap it around my foot some how. Not sure yet, I put a lot of thought into mine since I'm stuck with them forever

TracyKS - I know exactally what you are saying about setting goals. I joined the Labor Day challange and wanted to be down to 200 by Monday. LOL... no way that is happening... but I am closer than I was a month ago when I set the challange. I may still be mental about lots of things, but I do realize that no matter what ... I / we are all doing a great job and numbers don't always matter!!!! I know I am the most critical of myself, but I do know and starting to convince myself. I AM 66+LBS LESS THAN I WAS ON MY BDAY IN MARCH, so even if I don't see it others must. So YOU WILL BUTTON THOSE JEANS and it may not be this week but it may be next.... when you least expect it, try them on! you may be surprised. You look so fantastic and are so cute. Well, I am not even going to weigh myself today after all I munched on yesterday, but tomorrow is another day. Back to work today ... yuck!

Denise. I am so sorry - I don't know what I would honestly do but I can give you what I think. If she had the balls to call you, then maybe you can give her 1 last chance but give her a list of conditions? Seriously take the time to think about what you want her to do to prove herself and let her know it is not a 3 strike out deal. 1 strike and she is back out and will not be allowed back in without rehab and extensive work? just a thought. Make her sign an agreement with your stips on it so she knows you are serious. TracyKS - you are so awesome, you have such a great attitude Judy, niceyou are back, again, disney for a week and you are still my hero! Nice job as usual! night all

Ok all this food talk... bad bad bad I had roughly 1300 cals today and hey were not good yogurt 4oz chicken w/fiesta sour cream to keep moist 2.5oz steak zuccini.... so that is not the really bad part tonight mini 150 cal choc/carmel cake 120 cal peanut butter cup ice cream Eddy's 1/2 fat 100 cal salsa sun chips 80 cal 2% cheese That is a complete waste of almost 400 cals. What the heck was I thinking. although the sunchips and cheese actually hit the spot so I think i'm done... oh shoot, lets add in the 200 cals for the pizza bites.... good thing tomorrow is liquid shake day... YIKES next time I think I'll start with the sun chips. Off to bed. catch up on sleep on my night off

All this talk about food tonight... I'm going to gain back the 6lbs I lost last week. LOL I had 3 pizza bites, didn't do it for me, still want something.... tomorrow is 2 shakes and salad thing again until Sat. Going to get my dd some pb ice cream and will find something for me to much on. I don't have a problem having 1 bad night a month. It keeps me sane. Stacie - I am so sorry that you are having such a hard time. It is all such a head game. I am one of the lucky ones, only 1 small fill and I have been good for over a month with it. I have a hard time eating lots of things so it is a bit easier for me, but mentally, I beat myself up. Stay strong, you will find your grove. This is a great and very supportive group. Give us your problems, we will do our best to help.

didn't I put x friend???/ that is the neighbor I've mentioned who will not talk to me anymore since surgery and said I only cared about myself and was a horrible person. I miss our friendship but have grown so much over the past 4 months that I know she was not a true friend - but someone who was holding me back. It just really sucks that she can't suck it up for the kids and be civil at cheerleading - Oh well TracyK - I don't get that depressed about food but sometimes I do miss it. I love sauce and work in a pizza shop!!! I made pizza using a slice of eggplant instead of bread and was satisfied. Started getting pitas so I can have a sandwich. Throw some stuff out there... I'll ponder some ways to alter it ... I love to cook and am good at it. I do miss drinking like that some times. I use to drink a lot, every day 2-3 drinks. not beer. vodka...tequila... good stuff... strong stuff. For me to have 1 small drink is a major accomplishment for me, when I use to go out I would have 8-9 doubles. I could not go out without dropping $50 on drinks alone. I cried and cried a couple weeks ago about missing that, and then had bf issue and had 1 drink. I have had 3 total in 4 months and they were all recently. So no you are not alone

OK, I do like broc/cheese and potato cheese soup. off to cheerleading, the nightmare of my life!!!!!!!!!!!x friend is the coach and treats me like shit!!!!! the things I do for my dd
