Have fun Tracy!!!! ((((((be careful)))))) we'll mis ya' Ms Jen-Great job!! What a pretty lady you are!! Good to see you again Denise!! Hi Terri!!! Pamela-hope your having a great time at the cape (like your really gonna read this while your there) lol Well....my good new is the scale FINALLY went down a pound today. It was stuck on 213 for about 2 weeks so 212 was a much welcomed sight!! now maybe I can eat a small piece of my dd b-day cake tomorrow? Small being the key word! Everyone have a great evening & weekend!! Sara-I agree with Judy. It is so great to see you posting regularly again!

STAY IN THE GAME IF YOU WANT TO WIN The more you try, the greater your chance of succeeding. The law of averages is on your side. Taking a risk is often your first necessary step toward success. If you don't take some risks, you won't get the chance to succeed. While you are trying, you are winning. Never get discouraged. Every wrong attempt is another step forward. People that make no mistakes usually don't make anything. Make up your mind not merely to overcome a thousand obstacles, but to win in spite of a thousand defeats. Your mistakes are stepping stones to success and your installment payments to victory. You can't be a winner and be afraid to lose.

Good luck Jennifur!!!! I have my fingers & toes crossed!! Kat-what an emotional roller coaster for all of you. i will say a prayer that everything comes up roses. Just keep on showing her the love & attention you have been!! You are such a great lady!! Terri-you know what? Once we see the calories in black and white, it hurts but it makes us more conscious of what not to do next time. Don't beat ourself up because if anyone on here will do the RIGHT things, its you...my hero Tomorrow is bathing suit day at the party ... OMG!! Everyone have a great day and I will check in after work....

Jennifur...good luck with the interview!! I know how you must really miss being with your family in the evening!! So good luck! (for in case I forget to tell you that later)

Hi Lunasa...I see you there!!

MsJen, Sara, Schexy, Judy and Kat- Thanks for the kind words!! I will wear it and try not to look as nervous as a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs. I would have gotten a better suit BUT since it was bought past the suit season, it was the only one left that would fit that did not make me look like Shamu. I will let you all know how it goes... My arms are almost as big as my thighs for crying out loud. My angel wings will have to come off after I get to goal...along with a serious tummy tuck. But it will SO be worth it! BUT, this time 6 months ago you would not have caught me dead in a bathng suit, much less in public!! Judy...I am so glad you had a helmet on. I am sure you are bruised, but at least you are here and not in a ....well, you know The scales have not moved in close to 2 weeks and I am starting to get frustrated but I know it is just temporary. Everyone have a great day and remember..WWJD?!!

Thanks Kat...that makes sense...now if I can just do it...

HERE I AM!! Unfortunately I can not post at work :tea: So, I post first thing in the morning and as soon as I get my DD situated in the evening with all her demands I grab my laptop and here I am!! OK, Here is a question for everyone....What would YOU do? My DD b-day party is Saturday is at my sisters house. She has a pool. The only person in 25 years that has seen my in a bathing suit is my mom. She bought me a new one about 2 months ago. It is going to be mainly family at the party, but, I am SO freaking out. Should I wear the bathing suit or not? OMG...such stress. I have not seen my brother since January so I have lost the whole 56 pounds since he and my skinny SIL has seen me. What would you do? Maybe I should take a pic and post it ... but I have to have honest opinions only. not to mention I am as white as a ghost....BOO!! HELP me violets!

YIKES!! I just lost my whole post. I do not have time to retype it all!! Laura, Terri, congrats on the weight loss!! I am so happy for you! Hello everyone else!! Sorry no more personals, but I have to run!! Take care everyone!!

Good morning everyone... NSV again...2 more guys at work told me how good I am looking....I love hearing that!! OK, so I have a goal...onederland by Thanksgiving. I think it is an attainable goal. I should be able to lose 14 pounds by then. If there is a will there is a way!! Everyone have a great day!

Good Monday morning violets! My DH was actually OFF most of the day yesterday. It was so nice to have him home with me. He never gets any time off so it was a real treat Well, here it is so long to the rain but hello humidity and heat!! YIKES! Oh well, I guess that is better than swimming to work. Everyone have a great day and remember WWJD?!

Terri! WOW, you look fantastic!! What a big difference!! YAY YOU!! PS...Are you getting taller? LOL

Well, we are back! Since all 3 of the kids have a birthday all within about 3 weeks of each other I decided to surprise them and bring them to Rainforest Cafe for lunch. I think they have those all over the place so most of yous hould be fimiliar with them. Anyway, it is a rainforest setting complete with rain and thunder sounds, lightning, and gorillas and elephants, you get the idea. They had a ball!! Well, except for the youngest one that will be 4 next week. She sat there with her hands over her ears asking, "mom, when are we leaving this place?". she is not really one for loud places. But she loosened up and enjoyed herself too. The employees sang happy birthday to them and brought them out a "volcano" which is this HUGE pile of cake like brownies with ice cream and whipped cream with a sparkler on top. (I only had a few bites of it after my salad). Then I took them to Frys Electronics and The 13 year old got speakers for her IPOD and the 8 year old got a new video game, and the almost 4 year old got the movie Mermaidia. So, now we are all happy campers. I had every intention on going to Hobby Lobby and then grocery shopping, but ran into some rain and decided to just head home. Now it is relaxation time. Lunasa-my goodness, be careful lady!! Hope you are feeling better!! Jennifur-I thught about rattatoui, but it just did not look at appealing to me. I am a "shrek" kinda gal...lol Judy-boats are so much fun!! I love to go fishing or just ride around!! Everyone have a great evening!!

Hi everyone...I am an April bandster but I just wanted to pop in and say I am so happy for you all and the journey you are beginning!! Best of luck to all of you!!

I can run to my car when its raining....

Never been there. I heard it is really awesome. I wanna save that field trip for when my DH is off. He LOVES doing that kind of thing!! The hobby lobby idea is a great one!! Thank you!!

YIKES!! There is not enough money in the world to get me to weigh at night!! You are braver than I am. For me to weigh anytime other than morning is just asking for heartache!!

Good morning violets!! YAY, its Saturday!! I have all 3 of the kids here this weekend. Macy is happy that her bubba & sissy are here for her to play with. She really misses them when they are not here, but when it is time for their visit, she is on cloud 9. I am so glad that she is close to them. It is amazing to me how there are so many half brothers & sisters in the world that do not even know each other! Now, what to do with them this weekend....I would like to bring them to the city pool but just me with all 3 of them is too scarey for me. My DH is working so I am limited on what I can do with all of them. I just would not be able to live with myself if someting happened to one of the kids on "my watch". My ex-wife-in-law (dh ex wife) would never forgive me if something happened to one of her kids on my watch, but then again, I do not blame her. SO, we will do something out of the water....lol There are not really any good movies at the theater right now, at least nothing that would keep the 4 year old quiet. The 2 older ones just had their birthdays, so I will bring them shopping so they can spend their birthday money we gave them. That outta be a joke... But, if they get unruly I can just use the mothers words like "if you keep misbehaving, we will just go home and I won't buy you anything". That is always good for about 5 minutes of good behavior. Everyone have a great day!! WWJD?!!

Thanks SO much Terri (aka blabbermouth)!! Happy Friday everyone!! Have a wonderful day and remember WWJD?!

Good evening Violets... Michelle...12 tubs of ice cream? OMG!!! FOOD PORN!! Ice Cream is my weakness.....

Pamela-I will try my best to make the Vegas thing...I will not know until a later date though. Everyone have a great day and remember...WWJD?

Tracy-Just noticed your new pic...cute cute cute. You look like a different person! Jenn-Great NSV!! I am so proud of you and good luck with the interviews!! Great things are coming your way, I can just feel it! Pamela-Your trip sounds like so much fun! I know how excited you mut be! Take plenty of pics for us!! Terri-I would also like a WWJD bracelet....hook me up. Everyone have a great evening!!
