Good morning violets! TGIF....hope you all have a great day! I am going to be bored bored bored at work today. I sure wish the boss was not going to be there. But, at least it is Friday. Judy-glad we were able to get you out of your funk. You have helped us pull out of ours so it was time for some payback As far as water goes, I am like Judy in that respect. I drink it all day every day. It is just a habit to me now. YAY!!! I had the biggest loser recorded and I watched it last night. I really liked it. I wonder what happened to Kim? They do not even mention her on their website either...hmmmmmmm I would love to have either Bob or Jillian as a trainer. They are so good! Have a great day sistas! Pamela-did you hear BB is coming back on in Feb? woohooo

By the way...welcome to the new ladies...Shannon & Nancy!! (and anyone else my poor brain may have forgotten)

WOOT Laura...you are on a roll babe....Good 4 U !!!!

Congrats Panda....I loved my pregnancy...sick all 9 months and everything, but still loved it! I am SO happy for you! My neice called me 2 days ago and she is pregnant with her first child too!! Have a great day violets!

Judy? Haydee? Hi violets!! It is so nice for everything to be back to normal again. All unpacked & things are put away. Holidays are over...life does not get any better. I have a pic I want to post...maybe I will do it this weekend. About 6 months ago (around there) dh and I went to an Astros ballgame and they gave away t-shirts that day (Jeff Bagwell for those who know who he is) anyway, theyonly handed out XL and when I got home I put it on and it was so tight I felt like I was wearing a condom (or at least I guess that is wht it would feel ike since I AM a female, lol). Back then, I asked dh to take my pic with it on. The other day I put it on and was sure it was probably still snug...not at all. It fit perfectly. So, now I will take an after with it on and show you all. HUGE NSV for me. Everyone have a great evening!

Good morning Violets- I am ready for work. I wanted to pop in and say hello. Suzie-phase 10 is my absolute favorite!!! I hope you all have a wonderful day. Denise & Laura-hope you are both feeling better today!!

Pam, Terri & Tracy, sounds like nice NYEs' you had! I am cooking the peas & cabbage right now. Tracy-you are not the only one who has a hopping scale, I am so glad it is a new year! Mine will officially start tomorrow. I need to wake up dd. She has been waking up at 2:00 AM every morning for some reason, the last thing she needs to be doing is sleeping right now! Have a great night sistas!

Speaking of hangovers....where is our gorgeous Michelle??? :party:

Happy New Year!! :whoo::whoo::whoo: :dance::dance::dance: :party: :party: :party: Wow, what a year we violets have had! This year is going to be even more awesome for us, I just know it! So, are you all having your cabbage & black-eyed peas today? I sure am. YUM YUM! I am making cornbread too but that is for dh...I can not stand that stuff. Everyone have a great day!

Happy New Years' Eve everyone.... Be Safe :scared:

Tracy-what a cute swimsuit!! Jenn-I would get something to hang up and fit into as a goal...but, thats just me. I am gonna go look at B&As...then go get my dd, dsd and dss. Take care......

Good morning violets... I really don't have anything planned for New Years Eve. I have to work and dss and dsd are coming over today so they will be with us for the new year! First time they have slept at the new place and they are excited. Macy has been with my sister this weekend and she called me last night saying macy said her "cheek" hurts and was crying for me. Broke my heart! I think it is her ear. I am waiting for my sis to call me this morning to let me know how it went last night. Last time I talked to her she had given her some ibuprofin and ice cream and all was well. I hope it is not anything like an ear infection. The dr is probably closed until the 2nd. Went to wal-mart yesterday and got some 12/14 cotton pants (elastic waist) got home and put them on and was drowning in them. I know that cotton and elastic=bigger than normal but it was just the idea of exhanging an artical of clothing and getting a size with a single digit in it. I got 8/10 and they fit perfectly. Wow....the only single digit things I have ever worn is my rings and my shoes. Huge NSV for me! Back up to 184 today but that is not bad considering I ate WELL last night. DH and I went to a steakhouse and I had a ribeye, salad and some sweet potato. Laura-I love that VS top! Congrats on the new size! Maybe I will go look at the stuff on their website :thumbs_up: Pamela-I like the bigger font you use, I can actually read it with no squinting! Suzie-that happened to me. I had an outfit in the closet (never worn) that I was dying to get into and I had to bring it to my mom the other day to take up because it is way too big now. Great feeling! Kat-sounds like a great NYE party you are going to. Can I go? :present: I bought an exercise ball yesterday (you know the big ones that you can sit on and lay on?) It comes with a DVD and I am going to start the new year out correctly and see if maybe these little fat wrinkles on my upper inner thighs will go away. I can tell I am just rambling now so I will go finish my coffee now and see what the TV says we have in store as far as weather is concerned. We have an auditor coming tomorrow to work to do year end inventory with us. Needless to say I plan on getting to work about 5:30 or 6 in the morning to get things as straight as possible before they arrive. Someone just shoot me now....

Michelle-here are some naner boobies (hope pam doesn't mind!) :Banane20::cheated::Banane20::Banane20::Banane20::Banane20::Banane20::Banane20::Banane20::Banane20::Banane20::Banane20::Banane20: I agree with Kat....that dress looks a helluvalot better on YOU than in the pics!! Look at that hourglass figure you have working!!! GO GIRL!!!!!!!

Oh, and my bands name is WIT. Meaning "whatever it takes"!!!

Tracy-have fun at the movies and know that Pamela has the nanner boobies ready for you when you get to wonderland (tomorrow?!)

Real life joke of the day..... I get to the old place to do the final clean and low and behold no electricity! No vaccuuming?! OMG! Soooo, I thought well at least I can do the other things and just sweep up as much as I can in the areas I was going to vacuum. So, I get the "mean green" cleaner and spray counters, sinks, bathtubs....NO WATER!!! OMG!!!!! Dumbass me had it turned off yesterday. So there I am furiously with rags & papertowels getting up as much gunk and mean green as I can. Then I start sweeping, and I swept and swept then decided screw it and got in the floor on my hands & knees with a whisk brrom and dustpan, saying things to myself like 'is the deposit really worth it' and 'this is good exercise, keep going'. My brain was in a terrible tug of war. Oh well, long story short, I did the best I could and I hope I get my deposit. Oh, and I pray to GOD that whoever rents it next will rinse out the bathtub before they take a bath otherwise they are going to get a mean green rash........

Terri-I have heard of that store but never been there. Ugh...what is the world coming to?!

OMG...i would have been pissed beyond repair if I would have lost that last post! LOL

I am so excited this morning I can barely contain myself!! (note the new ticker...182) I guess getting back into my normal "eat right" habits the past few days plus the exercise from the move made the scale move....whatever the reason, I'll take it I don 't know if I am the only one of us but when I lose, it is a woosh and then nothing for 2-3 weeks. Weird. So that makes -5 for December. Not bad. Tracy-I have brought all of my clothes to goodwill. I purposely kept those jeans and that shirt because I wanted to remember where I came from and yesterday when I was puttiing things away in the new house I found them and put them on and was like OMG!!!! That shirt is a mens 3X (54-56) and I used to have to stretch it out before I put it on!! The jeans were stretched to the max when I would put them on, no lie!! Cindy-I have not even cleaned the other house yet...I am having my coffee and then I am going to go tackle it this morning!! YUCK! PS...I am so envious of your upcoming trip. Sounds like heaven! Denise-Give the junk away. Laura and I did it and as soon as I did it was instant relief!! You can do it if we can!!! Pamela-Thanks for the boobies girlfriend!! I just love getting nanner boobies!! I wish I had a new couch to snuggle up on Kat-glad you made it home safely! Belly dancing? LOL, you go girl! I have way to much belly to to that! Wrinkled belly at that!! Laura-That sucks about the cigarettes!! Good lord, they cost enough as it is! Hope they make it good for you...let me know what happens! PS...macy was not ahppy taking that pic! My mom and I both had to hold her cause she was making my pants fall off and my step dad was taking the picture LOL Jenn-You do not suck!! We all have different metabolisms and body types. You are doing fantastic especially since your dr sucks!! I am really glad to see you so positive about the upcoming year! Tell me more about the houston job...when do you find something out? Terri-I am so glad your kids enjoyed their best christmas ever!! No matter how old they are it is great when they smile, right? Janie-I need to get my finances in order too this year. Easier said than done though! Cindy-my mind is going but I believe it was you that said you were crazy for driving through that ice & snow to go swim, right? No, you are not crazy, just determined...i love it!! Judy-I am up before you this morning? Michelle-you are probably the busiest person I know. What is on your schedule for today? Just reading your posts makes me feel like I have gotten my exercise for the day Haydee-Sorry you did not get a bonus either. I found out that my boss did not get one too so now I feel a little better that I was not the only one that got screwed! If I missed ayone I am so sorry!! I have had a terrific year. I wanted to say thank you to all of you. You all have made a difference in my life, more than you will ever know! Have a great day everyone!!
