Get on a plane and come spend the weekend with me! oh... all my favorites, would only be better if they were peanut m&m's:eek: Ok so I just did a muli Quote and I have no idea how I did it
-
Tracy - you know it is not good to skip meals (((((hugs))))) Suzanne - I've been cursin' like a construction worker today working on the bathroom. I want to kill the guy who did the work, ugh. I won't be done until Thursday and I am having a party Friday
-
Suzanne - just came to take a break, I am done chipping up tiles and have almost 1/2 of the subfloor taken up. I need to get the entire floor up and new floor down today. I think I'm going to layout a row of tiles so tomorrow I can go to town. I have to paint the wall behind the old sinkand where the toilet is going to be so it has a nice coat while it is empty. I'll update final pics with my other ones on photobucket when it is all done. I can't wait. Trim in the kitchen, living room and bathroom will all be done at the same time, and other than my office/laundry room, and some paint... I'm done! It has been a year of a lot of work, but it was so worth it, things look so very different in here and it is so much warmer with all I've done.

Thanks I use to process and close mortgages for 15 years, I was so unhappy. It has taken me a long time to get to where i'm going, but I'm almost there and never been happier with my career. with 4 more years of experience I can take state test to be a state instructor and 5 years i can be fully vested with a good retirement. That is my ultimate goal. Lehigh wanted me to move there, but if I relocate, I'm going south! -

Well, I was just working for Lehigh (you guys hear of them?) I was Super's assistant and did the site safety. I'm working on getting into construction safety full time by the spring and right now I'm working part time for a tree service logging and brush chipping. It is very physical but i love it, and even better, I love that I can handle doing it and feel good, not like I'm going to fall over. Just did 4.5 mile walk in 60 mins... best walk yet -
Hola Tracy sorry your time is ending so soon, but it was nice wasn't it! Hi Suzanne I just got in from my walk, and having water and breakfast and then i'm going to sit on the bathrom floor for hours DD is watching the breakfast club... i love that movie! We do netflix so that goes back Tuesday and We will have The Proposal on Wed, and going to pick the next movie, we get 2 at a time but returned one yesterday instead of returning at the same time. Anyway, off I go...

Vicki 3lbs, could have been anything, I was 187 when I went and the day before I was 184... so what can you do, shit happens.. (sorry) but it does, but you are watching and not letting it go far. I've been 184 -187 for 2 weeks but I won't let it get any worse than that and I'm not going to beat myself up for it either - you shouldn't either! I have to get serious again, I've been slacking off and getting comfortable so i'm not losing anymore but getting frustrated too, which i can't. I hope that I can go logging more because that is a great ab workout, ok entire body workout. I measured my arms last night, have not lost anymore, but there was not much sagging around the tape. I was happy about that. I logged Thursday ad thought for sure after carrying around the hooks my arms would be beat... NOPE... yipee, my light weight workouts have paid off! Ok enough of that... be strong and never give up! Are you all cold over there? It is damp and cold here today and only going to be 39 on Friday... Not ready yet! -
Hi guys I can't figure out that multi post, I did it a couple times but then i go to do it and screw it up so forgive me if i miss personals Suzanne - I wish I could go to support group, I just can't for personal reasons, and I can't seem to find one that is not with Albany Med. Tracy - so glad you are getting a nice quiet all about you weekend. Love ya sister Michelle - holy crapola... a Bear????? I would freak It is so cold here today, I turned on my gas fireplace that heats my downstairs. It is on low and just enough to take the chill out of the air. It was only 56 in my house this am. We are only going to be 39 as a high on friday and possible snow. YIKES! I had a nice time last night, we went to dinner, I felt like I ate like a pig... I had 1 scallop wrapped in bacon, a very tiny salad and didn't finish it, an ounce of steak with some onions on it, and some butternut squash as a replacement to potatoes. we had nice conversation and company, then we went to bar, it was quiet when we got there and for quite a bit. We had a drink and visitied and when it got crowed and we were getting ready to leave we had a great time people watching. So I'm up, going to walk, come back and work on the bathroom, and then going to ladies night tonight. have a great day all... i'll be back later

Good morning gals! or afternoon, really busy, have a date tonight and worked the last 2 days Kat - I so enjoyed talking to you too, and that is a sad turn out on that. No matter what happens, you guys were close and it is sad to see someone you cared about in such a bad state. Hi everyone, just wanted to drive by, got to get moving

BigGurl - I have to say this morning I agree with you, I did a lot of thinking and I'm still eating very healthy and 1200 or less cals... and exercising every day and nothing for a few weeks... nothing. I figure I'm stuck, or just adjusting to losing 30lbs quickly. my flab is tightening up and I just tried on a Med blouse my mom got and it was too big. So I should be happy right? I'm not going to get discouraged just keep doing what I'm doing. go to nutrition again in November and fill on December 10th. Stay strong and don't give up! That is my best advise and what I have learned over the last 2 years. I have never gained more than 10lbs and could lose it pretty quickly, never allowed myself to above that... 10lbs was my freaking out point. Anyway, stay strong everyone and have a great weekend. any of you go to keith urban and sugarland? Heard he went from here to Darien Lake, it was the best show I've been to in years -

I still have 35lbs to go to my goal, and I don't think I'll ever get there, eating more and exercising like a crazy person and nothing. so I feel your pain too. I hate being home alone i think way too much and get really sad -

Hi gals quick check in. I worked yesterday with a tree company so I was logging from 8-5 and didn't have an ounce of anything left in me last night I am the same 184.5 I suck, but tom and female issues so the 3lb bloat is gone so I'm happy. Yes, $400 it is a smoking hot jacket, pink and black leather and Harley Davidson so you pay for the name too, but see why I am going to wait until i'm at my ultimate goal. I am getting a white coat from Old Navy this week, that is really nice too but only $90 so that will be my winter coat. OK got to get going, omg, just realized have 5 mins to leave for the bus -
Good Morning gals Laura - wow thanks for the compliment. I have met someone online support group, not banding group, but wl group and I've been talking to him for almost 3 months, the thing that sucks is he is so far away, because we have such a connection and very similar goals and it is to the point where we can't wait to talk to each other... oh.. why me. I am going on a date Saturday night, He would have us married, I've known him for a long time, but we are just going as friends because I told him I'm too f'd up to get into a relationship... The other thing, most of the guys I know, meet and hang with are all constrction, so I can tell it the way it is. Ok so I'm going to make kids breakfast and figure out if i'm working this morning, going to rain about noon so I don't know that is my new shirt

-
Michelle - I hear you, my dr says why torture yourself if you can't or are done having children. I did Depo for 3 years and my friends wanted to KILL me, I was the biggest Bitch in the entire world, but it did stop my bleeding. I'll keep you in myy thoughts. Tracy- that is great it went well for you yesterday, I'm off to help a friend so I'll be out cleaning trees all day! I will catch up later because you know I want to chat with you. Concert was AMAZING, I got security to put us in the pit and he had a back stage and was right there!!! I will have pics later and will try to post, it is almost unreal! Sugarland was amazing too, best show in a long time, we danced all stinking night. xoxoxo off to get ready - have to leave in 20 mins, i'll be back for more personals later

Michelle Yes feels great, I've been in regular stores for a while... 16 is doable, but still was not into trying things on. We had a blast today, the first time ever! As for my surgery, I had the ablasion done (SP) best way to describe it is as a DnC that is more perm. I was having very long (2week) periods and get cysts approximately 2-3 times a year. I should only get a very short light period if any and I should not have the cyst problem if all goes well. There was no other medical reason than to have a hysterectomy to straighten my problems out, so this is the best option and worse case, I still have to have the big one at some point in my life. I was back to regular activities the next day, other than leftover pain pills. I can get the exact name if this sounds like a similar thing. pm me if you want more details xoxoxo

Irene - Admitting there is a problem is the first step.. LOL... just kidding, kind of. But I understand where you are...Tracy, Kat, Suznne all know, I've been the same 5lbs for over a year, this last 30 was me waking up one morning and taking control of my life, my eating and my exercise. That is the bottom line. I don't alter my food much because I really do well eating the same thing, then something different is a treat. I have stuff that is easy to make and prepare and only takes a few minutes if I'm in a hurry. I never every drink with my food, bad things happen to me... and I have not put anything with bubbles in it in my body in 3 years, no soda, no beer, no champagne, nothing!!!!! I hope you figure it out and I know that you can jump start this again! I have faith in you, getting your head in the right place really is the next step (for me it was anyway) So in March I was a size 16/18 and today I went to Old Navy and bought a solid size 12, and have on a 14 non stretch jean right now that is too big, just didn't hav clean laundry. I found my new winter coat there and it was a size L and beautiful. I can shop in anystore I want and I am finding all these clothes that I've never been able to wear ... and my old navy bag with a skirt in it was so tiny I had a hard time with the reality that there was something in there that would fit on my body. I mean a bag you would get at a salon with shampoo in it. I wish I could just make the last 25lbs go away, and I wish I knew what I have been doing so I could share with all of you. Kat - I'm glad ds made that choice, I think it was a smart one too. Tracy - good luck with your legal advice... (((((hugs))))) ok i'm off to have lunch and then go tan so I can hit the gym at 3 with my daughter. xoxoxoxo all

Thanks gals for the compliments Suzanne YIPEE YOU..... see... now doesn't that feel great??? I think I'm totally bloated, it is TOM but because of my surgery I only get symptoms... I am up 2lbs and there is no reason for it. I'm going shopping this morning to return some jeans I got for dd that are too big... I have been harping on her, she was up to 164, granted she is 5'8" but still, she was getting a little belly and kev has heart history and she is built just like him. that scares me. So anyway, I have just been harping to take smaller bites and chew her food... she lost 8lbs and went from a size 10 to an 8 in 2 weeks... not even changing anything she eats. Ok off to get ds on the bus in a few and get showered to hit the mall, a nice rainy day. DS is staying at aftercare and dd and i are going to the gym at 3, she wants to start going back. Then home to get ready for the concert tonight, can't wait.

Vicki I really can't eat much more than that, I've gained 2lbs, but this is my pms week and even if I'm not going to get TOM i can still be bloated and hormonal. I hope that is it. I'm being so stinking good I don't get it. -
Nice Kelly love the story of Shalee Thought I would share a pic of me today, was feeling a little fat but pretty good at the same time. and I found a shirt at target tonight, and guess what it was a small, i got sad and then thought I'll try it on... I BOUGHT IT. I'll take pics tomorrow of that, wearing it to Keith and Sugarland!
