agreed!

CG, I don't think you were that much bigger than me to start. I started at 330. I was 317 for surgery. You are all some great women to know.

*sniff* I need a tissue. I'm so proud to know you CG. You are an inspiration to me. You are leaps and bounds ahead of me in weight loss, but such an inspiration.

I'm listening

Yeah, what BB said! That's great!

I'm here, but I'm about to watch my Saints play on Monday Night Football. One thing you need to know about me is I'm a FOOTBALL girl. At our house, fall is about football. I love NFL and College. So I missed it. How was your appointment today PPPB?

Today was a horrible Monday at work. UGH! I'm glad to catch up with my b*****s! I sure do miss y'all when I can't get in here. DeeDee I'm glad you are able to pass the time at work here. Pretty toes, I'm jealous. I really need a pedi!

My mom usually goes with me, but that's because we usually go shopping and do lunch afterwards. You really should be fine by yourself if you have to.

We have had a nice morning. It has rained (not hard, just a good steady drizzle--just perfect for hubby's garden). I have the house open. It's supposed to cool off some more, should make for a nice week. The time did change last night. Now I will be going home from work in the dark (well not totally dark, but it will be getting dark).

I shall have to get out my book of magic spells to find just the right one to dispense with trolls.

Wooooo Hot Mama!

Gotcha !

WOW! Just got caught up. I missed a lot! Friday was crazy at work and today was all about the grocery store and football. I'll try to check in before football starts tomorrow. My Disney job has been keeping me busy too. I've had a wave of clients requesting quotes, so that keeps me busy. I miss you b*****s bunches! Love to you all :wub:

Good Afternoon, I'm just now checking in. SORRY...it's been a hectic day! I know there's been a nail break (sowwy CG) and no emergency roadside assistance for such matters. I'll be back if time permits tonight. Love you all!

I are here! (Oh wait--check that. My grammar is not correct,) I have returned from handing out candy to the few Trick or Treaters we had. I am also working on some Disney quotes for a few clients. I will try to keep up.

Thanks ladies. Sometimes I would just like to hear it. My clothes are getting a little too big. My hubby, my boss, and my student worker are wonderful. They always ask, comment, and give me tons of support (not to mention hubby who is fantastic--my kiddos too) CG, don't you dare stop telling people what they NEED to hear. I do hate how people try to out-smart, or best Missy, but I'm like...b*****s, she has lost 152 lbs in 9 months...she must be doing SOMETHING right. She might be worth listening too. You are the same. You've lost 70+ lbs in a very short time FOLLOWING THE RULES....must be something to that. Preach on Princess!

So, Princess and all my other lovely b*****s, I have a question for you. Does anyone "notice" your weight loss? Besides those you have told, or those who support you? As I have said, I work in academia (I am the Department Secretary at our local university) and people come in and out of my office all day. "NOBODY" (other than my boss) has even mentioned that I might look like I have lost weight. It's kinda aggravating. I'm certainly not doing it for them, but it would be nice if they would pull their heads out of their asses long enough to notice. The same goes for my in-laws...UGH.

Pretty good so far. It's lunch time (Tuna time for me) How about you?

I'm here. I usually try to check in by 10am or so Central time.

Dee, I think taking to your Dr is a great idea. I have had a few stuck episodes, but they were my fault. Eating too fast, or not chewing enough. I'm sorry you are stuck at a plateau, changing up your eating routine may help. What about exercise? Have you changed up that routine too? Our bodies are creatures of habit. If you are doing the same things...so will it. Love you hun! Good luck at the new job! That can be exciting.

I'm about to have supper (Hubby is making yummy chili!) Then I will have some Key Lime Greek Yogurt for my bedtime snack.

DEEEEEEEEEEEEe, I'm so glad you're back. I thought you might be in the midst of the storm. Hey b*****s!

I eat it...but I use it as an afternoon "pick me up" before my workout. 1 Tbsp. maybe 2x/week.
