Hi Gang !! Karri - I haven't even got on FB yet !!! I went to the gym tonite - then came home and been working on the pictures So Gang heres some of my pic's - I can't tell you all how great it feels to be able to do something that you couldn't have done before

Hi gang I'm back !!!! I am alive - got back yesterday around 11:30 - had to play with my babies -they were so happy to see me.... Had to unpack and wash - got a cold on ship :0(... So just watched tv and went to bed at 9 - My dear Phyl called me this morning to ck on me - isn't she just the sweetest thing !!! It's sure nice to have people who miss you... I have been trying to post all morning - but been busy - so haven't had a chance to read last weeks post - will on my lunch - just wanted to pop in and say Hi... Had a great time !!!! Hopefully tonite I can post pic of my zip lining and repelling - this was like the most greatest experience in my life - I felt just like Karri did when she completed her 1st marathon... This was something I never in the world imagined that I could do - Only you all can understand this - My weight before limited my life - now I am free - I am a butterfly !!!! Will post later -- Love you all.. oh ya - i didn't gain any weight !!!!

Good Morning Gang !!!!! I'm Back....................... Haven't really read what has been happending this last week - will go back and do that in a few - but wanted to let you all know I survived 1 week at sea with 2 boring teenagers. OMG they don't know how to have fun - they slept more than me - I did get them in the Party mode in Mazatlan ... I survived zipling and repelling !!!! For me this was such a great accomplishment - it's like running a marathon... I will post some pics tonite and go into more detail later - just a quick ck in. Charlene - Hugs & Prayers on surgery for DIL today - Going to go back and read now :0) Hugs & Love - Janet P.S. I DIDN'T GAIN ANY WEIGHT !!!!

Good Morning Gang !!!! Today is the day and the stupid weather is not cooperating - it's windy and Long Beach (port that I am leaving from) 61 degrees with 60% chance of rain - I am going to have to change what I am wearing or take my leather jacket - I hate doing that cuz I will have to pack it on the return trip !!! Phyl yep the sandal are for outfits - red thongs (not underwear:tt2:) to go with white bermuda's and that Red Teeshirt I got at chicos in PS when we are with Linda - and then a pair of black and white - just incase I don't feel like wearing my others shoe that all are wedgies or platforms kind of sandals.. Yep I am taking too much but what the heck you never know what you are going to feel like wearing... As to PS not getting you to goal - I think it's going to get you closer than you think it will - but I agree about moving your goal - I did that as you all know - made goal something I thought I could get to - then my little Karri joined and motivated me to get lower.. You are really good about doing your Wii when at home !! Ok - sheets are done - just heard the dryer - I am going to go make the bed - it's 5 30 - I know I have tons of time still but I need to shower dress pack the stuff that has to wait til this morning - get gas - p/u Andrew's cousin and hit the road... I just want to be at the port - have to allow time for traffic - flat tire - potty breaks etc... I think that dream I had last week about almost missing the boat is playing on my mind.. You guys gotta know that this is the first time I have gone on a cruise by myself - and really that's what I am doing - I got 2 teenagers - I always have had another adult to confere with - I'm the only one - this is going to be werid... I know that I portray that I am a super confindant grown up but really I am a little kid inside - I just know how to fake it well... I have 2 kids that I am responsible for all by myself... Ok - I love you all !! Am going to miss you all !!! I will think about you guys everyday !!! Will toast you all each day with my Drink of the Day - I also got some pomagranite lemonaide (delisous) and plan to make my own drinks too for less calories - packed popcorn - lets see if it gets thru security.. Hugs & Love - Janet !!!!

Good Morning Gang !!! Today is the day and the stupid weather isn't cooperating !!! It's windy with chances of showers!!!! Long Beach which is the port we are leaving from 61 degrees with 60% of showers OMW I am going to have to change what I am wearing !!!! Or take my leather jacket - I don't want to pack something else - I am done now have to find room for that especailly for when I come home with all the junk I buy - Don't have much room for that kind of stuff.. Up at 4 - went to bed (9) early but I think I woke up every hour on the hour.. Most likely cuz of that dream I had last week about almost missing the ship.. Yep Apples JoAnn is right was there last yr -there were 5 of us Phyl Linda Candice Steph & me.. You can just imagine how much I was in hog heaven at the M of A 3 stories to shop.. But now the problem is I was a 6 then a good 4 now so some of the stuff is a bit baggy.. We are going to Canada this year ... Candice is from Canada and she has opened up her house to us - 7/24 Elvis Fest somewhere close to her house Torornto is like an hour away she lives somewhere that I can't pronounce the name.. Didn't you say something about a LBT conference in LV this year or next - I think I put you in charge of that - I think that maybe Oct we all need to plan a trip to Vegas. Cuz we all gotta meet each other - I gotta meet PJTax when I went to Texas and Kathy when she was here in the Desert - But I need to meet the rest you.. Linda you are so right Julie is doing better than she thinks - and no it won't be that long before you see a 10 - I never imagined seeing that # but if you follow the rules - you will get there - I agree too that I couldn't cook like Apples I do cook for GS but nothing that I love - so it's not much of a problem for me Well Gang just checking in before I leave - I love each and everyone of you and am going to miss you and will be thinking about you all while I'm away - will toast each of you everyday with my drink of the day (taking pomagranite lemonade to make my own drinks)... oh ya and I packed popcorn !!! Let's see if it gets thru security !!!!! I expect you all to chat daily and check in on each other while I am gone - just cuz I am gone doesn't mean there isn't support - We are a family and we support each other .... You know the new saying it takes a tribe to raise a family - we are that Tribe... We should have a name... What should our name be.... There's a good topic to discuss while I'm gone - "I'm Here to Help Tribe" ??? Ok it's 5:16 - I gotta say goodbye to my Lucky #7 ladies and put the clean sheets on the bed for the house sitter/fur baby sitter.. Love to you all - Going to miss you (really truly) xoxoxo Janet

Kathy - you must have been posting the same time as me Oh hugs GF - I know this has to be so hard for you. Especially all that traveling - I know when I am away from home food choices are harder and like I've said before - avoidance has been key for me.. I wish I had some answers for you - but I don't know what to say - except Hugs.. I know this has to be so frustrating for you... The only thing I can say is that you are going to have to work on the dinner issues - as we know the band doesn't make our food choices - but again I guess you are straving by the time dinner comes - I have read that others have this same problem - so don't feel like the lone ranger - Go start a thread about this problem and see if you can get some answers from other banders with this same problem.. Well, the dryer just went off - gotta make the bed CBL - and again big hugs...

:tongue2:Good Afternoon Gang .... I'm taking a break - I've been up since 4;20 - been to the gym 3 miles 45 minutes - hair cut - nails done - last minute target shopping done - but then got home and I thought I had enought dog food - but alas I don't.. Washed out the garage (my fur babies like to poop in there I know tmi) Took a shower and gave myself a spray tan.. I do that now adays - that and the gradual lotion stuff - I have tanned but wasn't a super sun worshiper - I'm fair but do tan if I do it slowly - when xdh and I went on cruise I started going to tanning beds - I love them and could be addicted to them.. As a child we vacationed at the beach every year and this was pre-sun block days - so I have freckle all over.. But laying in the sun - a waste of time - so I am a bottle tanner now... Got the tennis shoes backed - most of the makeup/toiletiers packed - need to still get the sheets out of the dryer make the bed , vaccum and clean counter in bathroom.. So I am almost done - execpt for the things that have to wait til the morning (toothbrush hair brush etc) Apples - I have my suit case packed and closed I'm not even going to open it - so I will just have to make do with what I have.. And I understand about the gf things - I love mine dearly but sometimes they can be real "Bs" Lucky girl 1st class - I could have up graded last yr for $100 for 1st class I kick myself in the butt for not doing it- but I needed the $$ for my Mall of America trip and CLOTHES I bet you are going to have a blast in Vegas.. Joann - Exercise will be chasing that 2 yr old :smile: We don't have a Red Lobster here in the desert I don't know why not cuz it would be jammed packed - So I can't help there - hope you had a nice visit with your friends - sounds like a lot of fun... Long - I think you have to resign up for email notices since they changed servers - I don't get them - cuz back when I joined my lucky #7 pple were so chatting that in 1 hour you would have 3 pages to read and my mail box full - now their are only about only 7 of us who still post regularly... May will be here before you know it - I booked this crusie the end of July 08 - seems like ages ago - but tomorrow we go... Well back to work - cbl in a while .... xoxo J Ellen & Rose where are you - and Kathy & Becky.... Charlene you posted yesterday so I know you are good..

That's interesting about those who have had ps - I read the threads occassionally mostly to look for those who have had their arms done and see their pictures. I think that even without the surgery that;s the whole problem with maintaining is that we know we look good and a little this or that doesn't put on the weight - so it's a little more of this or that - a day or two missed of exercise oh that won't hurt - Well ya all those things add up and it does hurt - the lbs come back. I know that I have 4 more months til 2 yr anniversary - and in the past I have kept the weight off for 2 yrs - but then it slowly creeped back on - I spoke of this in the begining - my whole things was were I will be in 3-4-5 yrs after losing the weight - For me having the PS and not being able to exercise for a while - worries me - getting out of my routine - you all know how that is - once you get out it's so hard to get back into it. And you are so right about the looking good - I know I say it's icing on the cake - but I gotta say I love it - I do love the way I look today - I love being called tiny, skinny. On my mentor thread a lot of the ladies don't get that from their families or friends - I guess I'm lucky - I do - I get that reinforcement and I think that helps with not going back to my old ways. That and just cuz I feel so much better. I just realized this morning (yes it was 4:20 when I got up) that I am going to be able to take the stairs on the ship.. For those of you who haven't crusied the 1st day on ship the elevators are jammed packed and very slow with 2500+ pple getting on ship - so it's faster to take the stairs (I'm on the 7th deck) - Sitting having my coffee this morning - I thought oh - I will be able to take the stairs with no problems this time. What a great NSV for me !!! Also another great NSV is to be able to go zip lining !! There is a 220 lbs weight limitation - No problem !!! Well, this all goes to why I have kept so diligent on my exercise - it has to be a way of life along with the healthy eating - Between those 2 things and all of you - It has helped me stay on that mindset The support here - the accountablity here is very motivating... I know I haven't said it in a long time - but I think of you guys daily in my life. Oh I gotta tell Karri this or I gotta tell Phyl that - Candice will love this - Steph will understand you get my drift. You all are such a big part of my life and I am so very happy that we are together. Isn't it funny - that being on lbt gave us a whole new family.. Omw - I am sentimental this morning - I don't pms any more - but this must be one of those times where I have the symptoms of it anyway - In the past when I got pms I use to get very angry then towards the end - I got very lovie dovey I would tell my Xdh - oh I love you and he would say you must be pmsing and then I would look at the calendar and say oh ya I am :smile: Really I think cuz I am going to be missing you all - a whole week with out you guys... I have never been gone a whole week from here... That's scary for me.. So I may just have to buy the minutes on the ship and pop in to say hi quickly... Ok now I really am going to have to check in !!! To see how that goes!! Ya I think that once he mets the doc and sees how clean the facalties are he will change his mind.. Good Morning Gang - Yep I'm up early - I think it's cuz I am really excited and I want tomorrow to get here.. Having coffee waiting for 7 to hit the gym (so I can pack my tennis shoes) then go get my hair cut at 9 then nails - a little target shopping - wash my sheets - vaccum my room. Oh did I tell you - I am packed - was worried my stuff wouldn't fit in my new suitcase - so packed it last night - fits like a dream with a little room left - not much - but this is the kicker - I have one suit case just for shoes !!! It's my little rolling carry on - I have casual black shoes - dressy black shoes - my fun multi color heels - white shoes - tennis shoes and yes threw in 3 pairs of flip flops on top of that.. The problem now a days is that my shoes now consist of heels well really platform type shoes where as before all I wore was flats (thong sandals) cuz that's all my feet could stand and even walking in those hurt my feet - Now I can walk all day in some of my casual platform type shoes.. Ok off the fb to play some pathword I will ck back later.. Hugs & Love Janet

Well I'm packed - just need to pack makeup & hair stuff and toothbrush etc. heck I have 5 pairs of shoes plus 3 pairs of sandals.. They have a suitcase of their own :thumbup: Need a book - just realized extra cash is needed for gambling :smile: - so tomorrow won't be rushing - I hate to rush... Well it's 8:30 - I need to go watch some t.v. I will ck back in the morning.. Hugs J

Julie NEVER FEEL LIKE YOU DON'T FIT IN !!! That's what this thread is about - getting help - a shoulder to lean on - We are here to help motivate you to make the better choices.. Girl you have lost 80 lbs - you have made great strides in your weight loss.... Heck half the time we just talk about our days.. We all have our woe's and this is a good place to share them - We understand your struggles - We aren't perfect here - We all struggle at one time or another Look what you have been doing exercising every day !!! Thats great... Yes restriction is a big part of this along with taking time for you - being prepared and planning - this is a new way of life but look you are exercising - you realize where you are messing up - you took the time to get the foods you need to get you back on the wagon... We have an addiction and it's not easy to over come it..

Darling I could never forget my girls !!!! Yes we are on for Canada - You Me Linda Phyl and of course Candice and maybe Steph - also Linda & Phyl's DH'S maybe Im going to Pureto Viarta - Mazatlan - Cabo - 3 port 3 days on ship.. Oh that just reminded me - I need to cash a bigger check - I forgot about gambleing :smile: I need $$$ for that... I will see how much it cost for computer time - if not too much I most likely will buy some mintue we will see..

[/url] Yep Mexico is a lot cheaper for everything - So we both are going to be in Mexico at the same time :w00t: Candice - Yep bring him a nice present - and Yes GF you are the ultimate traveler - Vegas - Cuba - Mexico - France... Congrats on your 175 - yep just remember France - Wedding and Us !!!!

Hey Gang !!! Long CONGRATS ON YOUR SIZE 10!!!! WTG !!! :ohmy: I had these jeans that said 8's when I was really still a ten - but I didn't care they said 8's and that's all I cared about too.. Your friends don't mention your bday - Heck I have all my friends trained well - I use to put it on their calendar's a month before !!! How many friends do I have - Good Friends I would say 5 and then all the others maybe another 10 - If I threw my own bday party - I could have maybe 30 friends and some of those are freinds I have met threw my 5 friends- Thanks Holly Yep my GS and his Cousin Janelle are going with me - this is for his 18th Bday/Graduation Present... Just checking in... I have ironed a few things alreay got the suit case on the bed packed my 2 bathing suits and cover ups and pj. Trying to decide what I really need to take or not to take - I hate makeing decision - who know's what I am going to feel like wearing... Charlene - I'm use to be a drinker not much anymore - Hate the hang overs and I always would go over board - I was a big partyer back in the day... I had one of thos miami vice in Mazatlan - Ya they are good - like drinking a big stick - I love the pomergraine lemonade crytal lite - will be taking that to make my own drinks like apples suggested.. I will have the sovinor (sp) glass - have them add the ice - a shot or 2 of liquor and then water and my crystal lite.. Velvet - the only thing the tanning is going to hurt is your skin !! Ok gang - back to figuring out what I am taking - will ck back in a bit - Hugs

Yep dear it's addicting - I am like Phyl - Pathword - Parking wars - between LBT - FB - I have no time !!!! Phyl - Mob wars is sorta a gimic - you gotta pay actual $$$ to get more points for something - I clicked on something and if I wanted more energy I think - I had to pay for it. Mob wars you fight earn money - you earn $$ just by being on the page - you buy guns and stuff to do the diff jobs it's sorta confusing - Pathword is really my addiction as you well know - you me andrew (me) earl (you) play all the time... I just wish they had a pause button cuz when I'm at work I can get a phone call and that just screws up my totals.. Steph - So glad you are back at the hotel - who's with you Jeff?? Were's the kids? Hope your pain isn't bad - Hugs & Prayers for a speedy recovery... Ok gang - going to ck fb then get to my desk - it's really clean right now - the day should be easy as long as I don't get tons of mail - the phone doesn't ring off the hook and my producer leaves me alone !!!! As Candice says - only 2 more sleeps and I'm off to my cruise !!!!

Good Morning Gang !!! It's FRIDAY !!! Only 2 days (well really one since today is already here) till I leave :thumbup::fruitsex::tt2:... Hope today isn't to frantic at work - I hate it when my last day is frantic... Hopefully my producer won't be piling crap on my desk - mail will be light and phones won't ring :tongue_smilie: Well you know how we say that the bad stuff goes down easily - Not always true !!! When I woke up around midnight - had to take dog out - I was picking at the bday cake - mostly the frosting but ate a tad of the cake - well I made this cake in a silcone heart shape pan and it came out more like pound cake and not light and fluffly... Well like I said I really only had a small bite or 2 of the cake - but omw did I get stuck :tt2: - and it seem like it took forever for it to come up and I wanted it to come up cuz it hurt.... Well once I laid down it finally came back up - just a wee bit but oh the releif !!! Well, now I know - no more of this cake and hopefully by the time I get home - GS will have finished it - if not in the trash it goes. Linda - do you have any recourse against the original contractor - I would sure check into to it - It's a construction defect !!! That's why they have insurance - and if I were you I would go after (now remember this is my line of work Insurance) him !!!! Ok gang just wanted to check in - I will be around tonite and again tomorrow - So I want to know how everyone is doing before I go.... Hugs - Janet

Apples - OMW - what a diva !!!! That's a bit much... I'm surprise with that attidute that she has 250 friends :thumbup: Heck - I don't have that many friends and I am a pretty nice person :0)- I think I need to move to where you live... Well I just burned up my rice - I forgot to turn it down to simmer - :tongue_smilie: - you don't know how much food I burn up cuz I start cooking get on the computer and forget about the food.. So I don't want to wait another 20 minutes to eat - so I guess I'll make some pasta.. Rose - How did the wedding go.... Julie - Where have you been Sharon - Visitng her mom Becky - are you taking care of that lady again Long - you said you lost 6 lbs on cruise - you were a very good girl... Charlene - How are you doing... Joann - only a little over a week til you go see DD & Gk's... Linda - How are you girl Ellen you aren't dissappearing againg are you..

Well chickies - I will talk to you all tomorrow.. Sweet dreams - xoxox Janet

Candice - Glad you went again - How was it??? Yep Denise - I thought the same thing !!!! Phyl - Yes it was great really - I wasn't very sad - had a moment that a tear dropped when I realized that I was going there for dinner - but toasted him and know that he's in a better place - Ya it may have been the combinatin of sloppy joe then the chicken... of that whole thing of one day our band is tight then the next day wide open... Yep Steph has been in my prayers all day too - and glad things are going well.. Taxes - cuz of the Ranches and my K1 (whatever that is) I really can't do my own - so I gotta pay - If it was just my pay check invovled -Trubo Tax would be my tax program of choice - I did my sons and nephews years ago on it - and it was great. Last year I had all the deductions from taking my clothes to Martha's village - Well, it's 7:30 - I went to the gym tonite since I missed last night and worked the weights for my legs - I didn't want to go but after bday cake and a martini - I figured I'd better.. Well, I'm off to go cook - I'm hungry.... ttyl Hugs & Love

Hey Gang - What's up tonite - you all have been really quite today... I know I haven't been around 24/7 like I usually am - but as you know I am getting ready for vacation.. Since I didn't get to the gym last night -I went tonite to make up what I missed - came home cleaned the kitchen, put a load of wash in - and thought I would ck to see what my peeps have been up to... But alas no one's posted... :tongue_smilie: Well going to check my #7 thread - will ck back later Hugs - Janet
