Hello everyone. Just kind of getting in from work. It took all I had today not to go to the gym but I didn't and I'm not going to go tomorrow. I am off on Monday and Thursday this week, I'm already tired of working 10 hour days but what can you do. Actually I don't think I would car so much if i had 1 weekend night off. anyway, I ordered chinese eggplant & black bean sauce for dinner. yum and hopefully the oils will help. I'm off to bed. I'll check in tomorrow when I wake up

Laura - you are absolutely stunning! I love the black & white's (they are always my favorites for some reason) I need to have that princess and frog sign... Love your Dad's shirt!

Just want to say good morning gals. I am going to look at Laura's pics that I'm sure are stunning. finally, got to sleep in Denise? I was told yest by a trainer that I got the the gym too much. what do you do there 6 days a week, that could have a lot to do with it!

That is so very sweet. and funny... Crack... Vegas is so very far, I would have to fly which would be horrible for me. I would try my best to do it but there is no way in the entire world I can go anywhere in FEB. I'll explain later my boy is looking for me... yes 1am!

TracyKS - WOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOO... congrats.... you are so cute Terry- Congrats on the Jeans.... I'm just happy I can get mine on Pamela, nice to have you back I am frantic, went to the gym and had 3oz chicken with salsa & sour cream and now shower and work in 45 mins.... whew......

Oh Friday the 13th. this is going to be a crazy night at work. LOL Well Judy - I'm trying to keep up with you. LOL It makes a huge difference when you are home. I would love the job I interviewed for the other day, but my first thought was, am I going to have time to work out? LOL But outside, walking and lifting job, so in the summer if I get to the gym 2 days I would be happy and winter averages 30-35hrs a week, so I will have time to go >LOL well speaking of.... I'm off in 5mins

lots of mixed emotions. how about atlantic city?

TracyK - I'm back down to 219 this am too and I am still retaining last nights 4 bottles of water. so I worked the ovens last night 3 hours straight without a break 8hrs in total. Hot is an understatement and 3 different heights. does that count as a workout?

Kat- that is the most romantic thing ever... how nice Morning all - very very tired, don't know why i got up... ok yes i do because I know kids will be up withing the next hr and by time i got back to sleep they would be jumping on me. so I'm going to have my coffee and watch the news in quiet.

Another great topic tonight I missed. I am a big huge (ok not as huge. lol) CHICKEN to do the online dating thing. My friends would make fun... I am a fat ass and think no one in the entire world would want to be seen with me... and then there are the freaks who just want cybersex! So although I feel so much better about myself, I don't know, but then again, will I ever see myself as a person that someone would want to be seen with. you gals seem to be pretty happy with your others... makes me wonder ...hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

OK Michelle - I'm on my way... I'll have to pass right by you I'm going to do some research when I get home, off for real this time, be back about 11

Hey ladies if we have to fly to get to a cruise, how about leaving from VA? cheap to fly into Norfolk, or only a 9 hr drive for us who don't fly (MEMEMEMEMEM!!!) they have cheap cruises I looked into them last year

Amen:clap2:

on my fitlinxx website, there is a spot for lawn mowing so I say count it. I even have a calorie counter on the site so I count every minute I'm out there

TracyKS - only 13. you look great!

TracyK - I have never had one but I know now I am in serious trouble. I am waiting for my daughter to get home to watch her brother so I can leave. So here is something on my insane mind the last couple of days with all this TT talk..... So ya'll know I work in a kitchen... I hate that word apron so very much I refuse to wear one while I work. They all tell me to put one on but I try really hard to stay clean and believe in Bleach. Well tonight I am working on the pizza counter which I don't normally do, so I will have to, I'm too short to reach over the counter for stuff and always get a dirt/grease stripe on my clothes. I'd rather sweat my butt off working the 600degree ovens than have 2 aprons!!!! you all know I have crazy thoughts. I hope I can entertain someone with them... or maybe that someone else out there is slightly crazy like me. just so ya'll know - sad to say - these are all serious thoughts, but at least I can laugh about them now that I plan on changing my life forever

Judy - as usual, you are so wise and that is true. I started this journey Feb 2006 but consider my weight loss as of Jan 8,07, which was the morning I woke up and decided I was ready physically and mentally, which was why I finally decided to include total weight loss. so what a mess, I was cleaning out my email and outlook and screwed up my settings and now getting an error saying that I need to reinstall outlook. So of course... I can't find my program, but I am going to get up and get ready to go to the gym, that is more important than making a giant mess of my office right now. anyway, i'll be back to check in when I get out of work, I'm sure I'll miss a lot

AMEN!!!!! I'm right there with you on that one.

hi again, ok, so for starters - I think the sourkraut (sp) that I've been eating for the last 2 days is working! YIPEE (i know TMI) Second - I have lost 38.5lbs since 4/16 and 58.5 total since January 8, 2007. I hope to be holding the 40lb mark strong by the 16th - my 3 month badiversary. I don't know about a meeting place - as we think of places lets just throw them out there and put some thought into it.?

Michelle I am wishy washy too, and when I travel without my kids, which until dbf bike accident, we went to CT every month and while he did his Navy thing, I found myself a great place to get my hair & nails done, during the summer I would go to Mystic and hang at the beach by myself or just do whatever I wanted. I guess our Military trips that we started doing together when I was 20 (a 2 week trip to Norfolk VA) has taught me how to be strong and independent and enjoy my time alone and how to relax. Anyway - I am glad you told me to go, I've been thinking about leaving for work an hour early and hitting the gym on my way, and now that I'm showered and back down to 219 after eating, drinking and showering, I feel so much better and am going to get my lazy a$$ up at Terry would put it, and go

OUCH is right - that is an expensive 3 nights I hope to get a huge tax return next year but I am so in debt from not working I'm sure it will be gone quickly. But I will stash a little

Ok this is how I feel today :ranger:... so thank you for your permission Terry, I think I'm going to just take today off.

It is whatever you want it to be. Each month we all set our goals and do our best to meet them. Take a look at our signatures, we put them there and update them as we do an exercise. see, i have mine broken down by weights and basically aerobic exercise so I make sure I do both

Thanks all. now I will slow down now that I joined the challange. Isn't that the way it usually works. LOL

I am so undecided... should I take today off from the gym? what to do what to do?
