Hi there silent friend :thumbup: No distress here! I regained ALL of mine...so you are in company that knows how you feel! So glad you posted....keep it up. Sometimes it helps to type it all out. :biggrin:

*Insert singing crickets here*

suz-congrats on the 2 miles on the bike!! michelle-good to see i am not the only one that likes the cold weather!!

hi folks.... I watched Oprah today and I had an AHA! moment. The author on her show wrote a book called -Women Food and God-and I will be at the store first thing in the morning to get it. Some of the things that were said from the book made me cry. It is not a diet, it is the BRAIN food I need. I have always been saying i wish there was a band for my brain. Well, this book clicked with me and, well, nothing ventured nothng gained (or lost in this case, lol) We all know that our head being in the game is at least 90% of this. If I can get my head where it needs to be I will be unstoppable, like i was before. Some of you have not known me as long as others here....the first year i was banded I was a force to be reckoned with. lol After I lost the weight, I quit smoking, had some tough times, got depressed, then more depressed when i started gaining and well, the rest is history. I need to get back to that special place and I think this book may be the key for me. Can't hurt! I am excited about reading it. Have any of you heard of it?

LOL, no but today is a brand new day DH went back to work today so I know now I have 4 days to undo any bad that i have done Macy doesn't get out of school until the 4th of June! We had alot of kids miss our last day of our senior year...I was happy to go to the last day...just to say 'it's the last day'. lol Everyone-have a fantastic day. OMG...i just heard on the news that a dad left their 2 year old daughter in the hot car all day while he was at work and she died. I could have gone without hearing that.... :drool: Hugs everyone (((hugs))) No sugar today for me, anyone wanna join me?

I can not even believe some of you are talking about it being cold outside. WHEW.....I'M MELTING. I am in a blah mood this morning. Not bad, not good, just blah. I am excited for school to get out too so I do not have to set an alarm clock! Macy will be so bored so I need to check into some summer activities for her. When i get off here I need to check into our activity center website. I have been hurting in my joints again....I know it is because I have not been eating right. When I am eating right I feel SO much better. So, today I am going to try to stay away from the EVIL. Have a great day everyone! I think I will go take me a B12 and get some kind of positive mojo going :scared2:

sounds like a great day to me!! :biggrin:

Michelle-Jenn-Suzanne-you have all been doing GREAT oin your weightloss! KUDOS to you all. I am going to jump back on the bandwagon too :biggrin: Good morning everyone! Sorry i did not post again yesterday. Mom came to visit and we all went to lunch then we came back, visited then i took a NAP. It was great! Very good mothers day. I hope you all had a good one too. Suzanne-your yard is so pretty. Love what you have done! Kat-Yes Macy does love dresses. The one from yesterday was a long skirt that can unfold into a dress. I love it. She looks great in yellow with that blonde hair. Michelle-your family has the virus that i had! ugh it is so horrible! Glad you all are recovering! Jenn-I wish i could find some work that i love to do. Then again, I have not really put any effort into looking so I can't complain. Wanna get some weight off before I start looking because employers ARE prejudice against fat people, I do not care what they say! lol Cindy-how are ya sista? Hope you all have a great day! (((hugs)))

Happy Mothers Day everyone!! Jenn-good to see you and I am glad you are doing so well. I will do personals later. Mom is coming in and we are bringing her to lunch to our fav Mexican food place with the #1 rated best Margaritas around Houston. :confused: I will be back in later....

Oh Michelle!! I am glad to hear that it wasn't anything major! I am also glad they caught the UTI early...those can be horrible. Poor babygirl, I know she must have been so worried about her mama! Keep in touch and let us know how you are. Take it EASY! Suzanne-yes we have sidewalks in our neighborhood. I wish I had a big dog to bring with me. Now that you mention it, we have a walking trail by dd school around the corner...thats a thought. Still would like a treadmill to walk in the AC :thumbup: The humidity here is a killer! Macy got some new sundresses from her mawmaw and pop. I posted pics on FB. She had to do a fashion show for me, lol. I am struggling with myself over getting her hair cut or letting it grow. She has never had really LONG hair....but she looks WAY cute with really short hair. I think with the summer coming I will get it whacked off. She wants to get it all cut off. She is so tender headed that she hates when i brush her hair. So, this weekend I will get it cut. I am doing OK with my eating. I have been doing really well until night time. The worst possible time to eat. Thank goodness I only have healthy stuff here but that can be overeaten as well. I just need to be more firm with myself. Have a good day everyone!

Suzanne-i wish i could go with you to your appt! Let us know how it goes. Kat-I hope the woman got in her stall and voted the other way on purpose just to spite her husband. Just for a little self satisfaction! I need a treadmill.....in the worst way! *sigh*

That was fast...right? lol Kat-the cone thing would work for me too if I could stop at ONE! lol So....i see we have more guests signed on right now than members!! :glare: sign on and post friends!! :bored: Me and 3 guests. I feel like a party hostess at a maquerade ball. lol Well, got a house to clean. Take care everyone!

My hip is killing me this morning... Need to run macy to school. I will post when I get back home. (((hugs)))

Suzanne-is it POOL time yet?? :thumbup: Good morning everyone!!! Forgive me Father for I have sinned....I ate 2 WW ice creams last night instead of one. Those things are TOO good and I realized it is a danger for them to be in my house. They are the chocolate ones on a stick with chocolate crumbs on them. Oh my :biggrin: :biggrin: Jennifer Update.... I got an e-mail from Jenn and she said to tell you all hello. She said she is doing good and misses all of us and she will be on Saturday to catch up on posts. Cindy-When is Alex graduation day? I'll bet she is SO excited! Good for you about not having to worry anymore. Did you think the asst principal would NOT love you? Have you been a bad girl? :thumbup: Anything fun planned for the summer? Kat-so how did Conners game go? Was the big shocking announcement made? lol Michelle-how you doing girlie? Recovering quickly I hope! Mexican food....omg my weakness. Our fav place really needs to shut down or lock its doors to me or somethng if I am going to be able to pull off this weightloss. It is out of this world. It is called Don'Key and it was just voted #1 in the Houston area for the best Margis. I think it is the best food too. So, i need to get macy to school. I wonder how Jolly is doing....I miss her. Irene...can I get a holla? :biggrin: hi & bye to everyone and have a healthy day!

OK, so confession time....no it is not about food..... Kat came to FB and reminded me I hadn't posted here today. That is how my mind is these days. I could have SWORE I posted this morning. So sorry for my negligence. Still doing good eating :thumbup: I am SO bloated and the scale was +3 this morning but aunt flow is going to be here prob tomorrow so i am not stressed over it. Gotta go to girl scouts.....

Kat-when is ds going to LA? Suzanne-oh my, there is an 11 year old girl involved? That is just a bad situation all the way around. You are very wise to stay on your toes! Michelle-how are you? I am SO happy about your weight loss! That is fantastic. GO YOU! Feels great right?! Jenn-miss you sista! Cindy-are you on a countdown to school being out? I would be if I were you! Right now I am fighting off food demons. I just had supper and a WW ice cream but my head is saying I am still hungry. Aujnt Flow is supposed to show up any day so I know that is not helping matters at all! Have a great night everyone. :thumbdown: (just as an afterthought...i sure hope BP can bounce back financially from this tragedy, but I doubt they can. The Gulf of Mexico will never be the same. Makes me wonder what it will do to our coastal areas, nature & business wise.)

Wow Suzanne-sounds like neighbor needs a wake up call! A 19 year old felon? Oh my! Hope she makes it through this 'relationship' unscathed. She may need you to stick closer to her, ya know? I have a feeling she is gonna need you. Still the same weight this morning.... :thumbup: now i can claim it. I wasn't going to get on the scales but i had a good feeling about it! Have a great day everyone! PS...I got my new MP3 player. 16GB. I am now up with the times. GO ME!

Hi everyone! I am alot better today. still dizzy but that is getting better too. Thanks for all of the get well wishes! We have 2 new additions to our family. I posted pics on FB. They are Frank and Lucy. 9 month old persian/siamese cats. I told dh and dd that we could take them in if THEY take care of them....we'll see how that goes. Hope you are all enjoying your weekends. BTW....I am back in the 24somethings! YAY...249.5...I'll take it and run with it!

Just skimmed posts...sorry. At least this morning it isn't both ends, just one. I thought it was over but my coffee went straight through, so.... I am SO sore this morning from throwing up so much. My back and ribs are KILLING me. I am going to go get the prescription the dr called in (refilled) for me yesterday. Can't hurt to have them handy. Have a great day everyone!

Michelle-how did dd do spending the night away from home?

Hi ya'll...i have been sitting in the bathroom, with a trash can in my hand....NEVER had it both ways before. I have been sick since 1 AM. I am feeling a tad better. Macy is going out of town for the weekend so i can recouperate and not worry she will get whatever it is i have. I will ttyl... PS...this may kickstart the scale, no? LOL I wish i was one stomach virus away from goal again...this would have been it!

Thank you everyone...that was a pivotal move for me. I am like Cindy...i never have spit out chocolate before. I just knew if I were to bite into it, it would all be over but the crying. Thank you all for believing in me when sometimes i can not even believe in my ownself, lol. Have a great day!

you would/will all be proud. I had a bite size nestle crunch in my mouth...IN MY MOUTH.....and before i could bite into it, i walked right to the garbage and spit it out! My mind was saying don't, don't DON'T!! and i didnt! GO ME!

This morning i woke up and prayed to have a good healthy bandster day. TODAY, i will do it :smile: No sugar for me, no rice, no pasta, no enriched flour. That is how i lost it all before....i just followed the rules....go figger. Just heard on the news that there was a shooting at a strip club. Odd aint it? LOL (sorry for the random thoughts) Everyone keep your fingers crossed. My mom found out that for 3 years oil & gas companies have been drilling and putting wells (3 that we know of) on family property and have only been paying my uncle and another family member and they just left her out even though they KNEW she was one of the heirs. Maybe some money in moms future? Cha-Ching. Well, she is taking steps to find out what her rights are, so keep your fingers crossed. I see maybe, just MAYBE, I may have money for a TT in my future when i get this weight back off. It would be such a blessing for my mom to not have worries about her financial future. It would take some worry off of her 70 year old shoulders. That would be great. Have a fantastic day everyone. I may call one of you if I start losing my mind for the lack of sugar :thumbup:

Suzanne-your dh doesnt even know about me? ugh, i feel so used. LOL :thumbup:
