the link quits after 24 seconds...I have never watched the Simpsons, but that sounded really funny!!! Jane

So far Pam, Kat, Suzie and I have agreed to do the tip of the day, should it be a tip of the week? Should one person be in charge of a week? Let me know, I am up for anything. My next question is it something that helps people? Or annoys them? Have a good night!!! Jane

I agree with Laura Judy!!!! You have done so well, it is like the biggest loser, you may not have lost the most but the percentage is far greater than a lot of us!!! Are you feeling the purple?????? Jane

CONGRATS AMANDA!!!!!!!!!! What do you have to do different with the band now? That is so neat! I remember reading that this is why you wanted this in the first place. I am happy for you and your husband!!! I bet your mom is over the top happy also!! Jane

Laura, they better give you two cartons for the grief they caused you!!! I took deep breaths as per Kat, and feel better already!!! It is cold here and am in for the night!!! My nephew is coming over and wants me to list his laptop computer on Ebay for him. Other than that slow week!! My house is a mess so I can clean with my extra time!! Suzie good quotes and help with my water!!! Thanks, Jane

Michelle, you looked magical!!! Jane

8 to 10 is a lot, it just penetrated my skull!!!

DAILY TIP!!!! Add just one fruit or veggie serving daily. Get comfortable with that, then add an extra serving until you reach 8 to 10 a day. Do we want to do this? So far Kat and Suzie have said they would like to. If so Kat can do tomorrow and Suzie the 3rd and from there I will make a more detailed calendar. By the way today is CUT THE CRAP DAY!!!!!! WHAT AN APPROPRIATE DAY!!!!!!

Pam, I liked the story!! I can't imagine eighty dollars for dinner, I bet you were SHOCKED!!! But I love doggie bags!!! When I go to relatives house I take a regular plateful and then get a doggie bag!!! My Aunt expecially cooks so good!! Well I slept late and am now not as crabby!!! I sort of chuckled when Terry wrote what wonderful attitudes (or something like that!) we had for the new year after I just got done with the long long rant!!! It is amazing what sleep does for me!!! I get sooooo crabby without it the older I get, it used to not bother me at all. Okay I am rambling have a great day!!!

Can't sleep, no alcohol for me last night. I went to the ENT yesterday for a very drippy nose at times. It is just clear, I don't have any other symptoms, but after a couple of months it was driving me crazy!! She said it was one of two things. Allergies, which would be the simplest and probably most expensive with allergy shots and stuff or a CSF leak!! She said that it happens to women between 35 and 55 and they don't know why! She said that if that is the case they just go up through the nose take a little cartiledge out and plug up the hole that is leaking the fluid!! She says it is no big deal! HELLO it is my nose leading up to my brain that we are dealing with! Plus the fact that we as women are dealing with enough BS that is associated with being a woman!!! I know I am ranting, and it really is no big deal either way, but I wanted a pill to make my drippy nose stop!!!! How come I get the weird stuff? Has anyone else heard of this? It is Aunt Flo time so I am probably (for sure) more sensitive than normal, but give me a break!!! I just wanted my nose to stop running!!!!!! Okay I am done, starting out the new year b#%^&%!! Jane

Just wanted to wish everyone a happy and healthy new year! This past year has been one of changes, all good for me! I wish only the best for everybody!!! Heres to a good 2008 and thank each and everyone of you for making it so special for me!! Jane

I just burned the cookies that I had in the oven looking at the before and after pics!!! Neat!!! Maybe I will try to post those that Tracyks did for me!!! Jane

Wow Laura that is amazing!!! Nothing like pictures to tell the truth and show us where we are going and where we have been!!!!! CONGRATS TO YOU LAURA AND EVERYONE ELSE AS WE ENTER THE NEW YEAR SKINNIER AND HEALTHIER THAN LAST YEAR!!!!!!

Okay here comes a really really stupid question, I can't find the before and after pics. I am not very computer literate and they were not mentioned anywhere on the home page!! Terry, Necklace is gorgeous!!! Great work!!! Tracyks, swimsuit looks great!!! You gals are soo great taking pics in swimsuits and underwear!! I am sitting here sliming big time on some chicken I have eaten. Worst one ever!!!! I was thinking of the new year and everyone who wanted to participate having one day that they post an idea or suggestion for weight loss or just personal improvement. What do you guys think? Anyone want to do this? I can get a schedule with everyones name and dates on it so we know when is our day. It could be a silly idea... Jane

That dress is great Michelle!!!

Terry, never been to urban outfitters, sounds like a real eye opener!!! I really wish I would have had kids, but at times like this I don't know how I would have handled the situation, so I am glad I don't. It is scary the things the kids know and do at this young age!!! Plus it makes me feel old!!!!!!! I just looked at the clock and have one minute to get in the shower and ready for work!!! Bye and have a great day!!! PURPLE POWER TO YOU DENISE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jane

OH MY GOSH TRACY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU LOOK GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOUR WEIGHT LOSS IS INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cindy, sounds great!!!!! I am still thinking of my bands name! Can't decide if it is a boy or girl!! jane

I want to lose 50 more pounds in the New Year, plus I am in a financial mess, and need to get it straightened out. I just need to be more financially organinzed!! As far as eating goes I am with Michelle, it is hard to stop once started!!!! I think once Tuesday comes, no junk for me. It worked in November when I allowed myself only 4 days of sweets. I think I will do that again. No snow or ice here, so close, but no cigar!!! Everybody be careful!!!! Jane

I think you can't live on cottage cheese, everything else is fine, although I really did have to think on the oatmeal!!

TracyKS, maybe it was the camera that took up that extra weight!!!!! Whatever it was under 200 is FANTASTIC!!!!! I am going to be so happy when I am there. Cindy, didn't get a knock on the door this morning telling me to get up!!! Boy, what a neurotic little girl that mother is going turn her little girl into. Stalking!!! Hugs!!! Glad everyone has survived the holidays!!! I didn't do an official weigh in on Monday like I normally do, did a unofficial one Tuesday and it said the same. So if Cindy comes to my house every morning this week maybe I will see a loss on Monday!!! Off to shower and then work, short work week only 3 days, then off three days. Well have a good day!!

Laura, you look great!!!

Kat, I am so glad you finally got your gift!!!!! Don't know what took so long, I wonder if the post office accidently forgot to deliver it since it arrived sep.? What ever I am so glad you finally got it. I was so worried!! Enjoy!!!! Jane

Water is the only thing I do right as far a dieting goes. I don't like soda, the bubbles do me in, and I hate drinking my calories!! If I am going to put something in my mouth I want to enjoy it, not just swallow it!!! So I drink black coffee and ice water. I have a insulated mug from the hospital at my station at work and drink at least two a day there, plus what I drink at home and away. I think that is a great idea, because I do know that it is a problem for many people!!! I think another thing you could do Susie is come knock on my door and make me get up and exercising in the morning!!!! That would be great!!!!! I am rambling again, sorry!!! Jane

Pam I meant to ask if your back is better??
