TracyK

Ya'll, I have an appt to get my hair cut Saturday and I am a nervous wreck. I want a change to go with my changing bod, but I am scared to jump too far off the bridge with it. I have very thin hair and a very wide forehead. I used to always have bangs to cover my wide forehead, but as I get older it seems like my hairline is slipping back further & further like a balding old man, and quite frankly they would probably have to go halfway to my crown just to get enough bangs...that would sart to look like a comb-over do. NOT. I like Terris' haircut...but am scared to go that short. Terri, is your hair thin or thick? I don't really want to have to get up every morning and do the curling iron thing because I don't have that much time anymore.... I guess I will just get them to layer the heck out of it to give the appearance of more hair... Right now it is about shoulder length and practically all the same length so my hair looks flat and greasy every day even though I wash it. UGH! then there is the problem of my roots are growing out... OK, enough ranting....must be TOM coming out in me. EEEK!

Haydee-I second what Tracy#1 said...I love your pic too. What a pretty lady you are!

Oh....and water water water....

Hmm let me think....yesterday I ate: Slimfast (chocolate) Low Carb for breakfast 190 Cal Snack-1/2 banana 50 cal approx Lunch-salisbury steak & 1 or 2 bites of the mashed potatoes 230 calories Dinner-1C Honey bunches of oats cereal 1/2 cup 2% milk 220 calories This is pretty much the same thing I have every day, maybe just in a different order with a different kind of meat

Welcome back Kat-we missed you! Happy belated b-day! Terri-be strong today...you can do it!! Everyone have a great day!

Wow, so many people I want to talk to and so little time... TracyKS-woohooo for the 220somethings....I am so happy for you!! Terri-I know what you are going through. I am a smoker too. I am not going to try to quit untlil I am almost at my goal weight. I know my limits and quitting now???...that would definitely push me strait over the edge. Best of luck to you!! Jenn-congrats on the inches!! YAY YOU!! Pamela-thanks for the tip about the you tube clips for BB. I will do it over the weekend when I have some time. My good news is that as of this morning I had not gotten my TOM yet so I jumped on the scales and I still lost a pound today to 208....so water weight or not, it still went down...how cool is that!! Everyone have a great evening!!

TracyKS-you and your friend look like you could be a handful when you get together!! You look awesome! Jenn-I am doing the same thing I always do. Eat about 800-900 calories a day and plenty of protein. Sorry that you ae stuck. I know how that sucks. My TOM has not started yet, but I sure it will be any day now. Pamela-you get the BB live feed? I wish I did. I am a die hard fan too. Everyone have a great Monday!!

Michelle-hope the party turns out fantastic!!

Congrats Judy, on the pound loss and on the NSV. That is fantastic!! Jenn-doesn't it feel great to be complimented? Good for you!!

Hi Sara!! Nice to finally see you up close!! What a huge difference in the pics!! You look so different. What a pretty lady! Good news....I went shopping this afternoon and I am now officially in single digit pantie sizes!! Alos....Size 16 jeans, yes they are elastic but so all all my other ones. 16....how sweet! I can't remember the last time I wore that size!!! I had to share my good news. Have a great night!

Denise-I third what Judy & Terri said. You need to find the "skinny thinker" in you. Once you do...everything will fall into place.

Nope Michelle, sorry to disappoint you but Evil Dick is still there. That is why I was glad. So, we have different likes & dislikes of people in the house. Dick & Danielle (or Jen, I can't believe I just said that) are the only people that I actually hope win the darn thing. I jumped for joy when that jerk Dustin got voted off last night. He was a pompous as**. That whole "late night crew" make me sick. If I see Amber cry one more time I think I will eat a bullet. Now if they can get rid of Jameka & Amber. I just like it when there are controversial people in the house that speak their minds instead of a bunch of boring people that ride everyone elses coat tails. YIKES...you got me on one of my favorite subjects so i could type a blue streak!! Tracy-glad your back!! We missed you and congrats for not gaining any weight!! You must be glad about that! Terri-you are a poster child for indurance...hang in there!! You are doing awesome!! Jenn-Glad you and your mom had some good quality time Everyone have a great evening and week-end!!

Big Brother went exactly as I wished it would on last nights episode, so today I am a happy camper YES, I am a BB nerd, but proud of it. lol Well, TOM is rapidly approaching so I am going to try to beat myself away from the scales because I know it would only be depressing. TGIF!!! Everyone have a great one!

Haydee-Yes, I am watching the storm very closely. I work in Galveston & live about 15 miles north of there. Congrats on the house :Banane20: Lickboxing...my kind of exercise!! Where do I sign up? I am a chunk loser too. Nothing for days & days, then whoooooosh!!

Judy, love your new pic too!! I need to do a new one but I do not have one I like, so I will just take some new ones. OK, so Hurricane Dean already has me a nervous wreck!! We live in an uninsured rented trailer. Renters insurance for a trailer is very hard to get. I guess because so many of my friends were affected horribly by Rita it brought my fear to a new height. All of my best friends lost everything they had. Oh well, like my mom always says, if you don't have any control over it, don't worry about it. Easier said than done. The sad part is that even if it doesn't come in here, it will surely hurt & devestate people somewhere. How aweful. Everyone have a great day!

Terri-I know what you mean. What a great day that will be! Right now my goal is 165 because that is the lowest adult weight I have ever been to. That was 12 years ago when I had lost from 325 to 163. Back then if you would have told me I would gain back up to 276 I would have called you a liar!! But, it happened and I am just very glad that I did not gain all of it back. I will have many tears of joy to see 165 again! By the way, love the new avatar pic!! Pam-take it from me...don't wish your days off away!! I will remind you what you said too!! Enjoy the dodger game!! Chica-good luck with the closing! Judy-If anyone can meet a goal like that, you can and we are all behind you! Jenn-just remember the things that you are going through are just temporary. One day soon, all of this will just be a memory. Everyone else, hello and have a great evening!! I am going to put my feet up for a while:bored

Good morning Violets!! I see you michelle!! Helloooo!! I hope you all have a great day. And remember WWJD?!

Chica-That is good to know...thanks! Janie-lol, its always good to be a hero :girl_hug: Jennifur-I hope your day is getting better & better!!

Finally success in changing the ticker... :girl_hug: Chica & househuntress-sorry to hear about your scales not moving. Hang in there. We all know how that sucks so you have a real understanding group of friends here. I just got back from getting my DD 4 year old shots. She had to get stuck 4 times and I cried with her. The good news is that it is behind us now and she does not have to get any more until she is 12 years old. I brought her to dairy queen to make it all better!! I did not even eat any ice cream. Well, I did not get one of my own, I had 2 bites of hers. Everyone have a good day

I am not having any luck changing my ticker..... Thanks Terri!!!! Jenn-Ditto what Terri said. Take care of yourself!!!

:smilingface (52)::smilingface (52)::smilingface (52)::smilingface (52)::Banane09::Banane09::Banane09::Banane09::Banane09::Banane09: 209.5 wooohooooo!!!! Everyone have a great day!!!!

Welcome back Pamela!! We missed you! Well, it is supposed to be a steamy 102 in the shade here today. Gotta love those record breaking days, right!! NOT. Everyone have a great Monday and good luck Jennifur!!! xx

Kat....OMG how AWESOME you look!! I am so happy for you. You are such an inspiration!! Well everyone, I did it!! I got in my little bathing suit and you should have seen the surprised looks I got!! My 2 oldest nieces (20 & 23 years old and absolutely gorgeous) were watching me strip off my clothes and they were trying not to stare. I just said, "This time last year you would have not caught me dead in a bathing suit." They were all smiles and complimenting me. I could tell by their smiles how happy they were. I can't believe that I am actually crying as I type this. Anyway, when they were younger, I was just a watcher instead of a participator. They have never seen me in a pool much less with a bathing suit on. I think they were happier than I was and I can't tell you how great that makes me feel. It made me realize 2 things. #1..how much I have missed out on, but more importantly #2, the things I will not miss out on anymore. As for the party...it was fantastic other than being 100 degrees and humid. Macy hit the motherload on presents. Everyone have a great evening!!

Judy-One again, you have inspired me more than than words can ever express. How wonderful you are doing! You look so great. Thanks for sharing the pics!! Today is my DD 4th b-day party. I am trying to get over the nervousness of wearing my bathing suit. I just keep reminding myself of what you all said...STRUT. I am going to do my best to act like I am not scared out of my wits. I will not be home until tomorrow....so until then, take care everyone and remember WWJD?! YAY LAURA!!!! Good job on the jeans!!
