Too CUTE Laura!!! LOVE IT!

:smile: :biggrin: way to go jane!!

This morning I was -2 The reason I think that is really good is because I start TOM today and I am retaining alot of fluid and I was still -2. Pretty awesome. :biggrin: I wasn't planning on getting ont he scales this soon but when I realized to was here I knew i would not weigh again for about a week so I went ahead and bit the bullet. Now I am scale free for another week. :smile: I'm bringing sexy back Macy got bit by something this morning. I am haaving to watch it closely cause it sure looks nasty. Hope it doesn't get worse. she isn't itching it so that is really good! 50% chance of rain. Gotta go to the store because I realized I do not own one single pair of shorts and unless I wanna go workout nekkid, I need to get some! I am bringing the kids home soon so I will just do some shopping afterwards. Have a fantastic day everyone. Respect the pouch!

Ummmm, was it my lack of deodorant? Where did everyone go?:thumbdown:

I love frosted brownies :thumbdown:

Pamela-no not sore. I am taking it slow at first, just doing cardio until I get to have my first meeting with my trainer, then I will branch out. DH and I will not always go together. There will be times that I will go by myself but for the most part we will be there at the same time. It always helps when the spouse is suffering with you, lol, right?

Good morning ladies~ Yesterday evening I went and picked up brandi & trey since their visit was cut short last week from the virus. Macy and trey played so hard outside. They both came in smelling like puppy dogs, lol. I remember playing that hard when I was a kid. My dsd is talking more & more about moving in with us. She doesn't like her school, has issues with her stepdad and is just unhappy about life in general over there. I know that it is going to be a bigger adjustment than she thinks. I think that she may have in mind that it will be more fun and lenient here. So we are going to talk with her about OUR rules and chores and yada yada yada. Then the whole money/child support issue comes up. Ugh. As long as she knows that there will be none of that back & forth business going on. Jenn-how are you...I see you! Terry-what is on your agenda? Haydee-how are you sista? Pamela-hope the margie cure has held on thru this morning! I sure wish I was able to come see you too. I will be there in spirit. I am SO ready for a new season of BB!! Judy-hope you are having a good time! Kat-I wish we had a motorcycle! Its gotta be so much fun to jump on and go! Suzanne-i am so glad that you are on this weight loss journey with us. No matter what we weigh it sure is nice to come here and know that we are all friends no matter what we weigh, right? Heather-are you OK TracyinKS- :wink: Miss you sista! Michelle-i think you are doing fantastic. Don't get down on yourself. This too shall pass.... Jane-how is business lately? Hope you are doing good. I might give you a ring tomorrow, k? Laura-did you ever decide on when you are going back to work and who is going to take care of Carson? I know that was a very emotional HARD time for me. Looking for someone to take care of something so special is a scary thing. After much tears, prayers and searching I found the perfect lady for Macy. Everyone have a fantastic weekend! Respect the pouch!

Kat-NO, not pics of the gym...a before pic of me and I will not show it until I have an after, lol Jenn-I am SO sorry that you are sick! Prayers headed your way sista! Pamela-hope you are feeling OK!! Goodnight everyone!

Suzanne-the reason I feel that way is because last time i lost weight I thought that I "didn't make it" because I was still not at goal. Looking back, I had "made it" and just not realized it. The numbers aren't waht I had originally set out for so I just figured I had failed. It is amazing the pressure we can put on ourselves. So this time, I just wanna get where I was....and feel good about it knowing I did it (again) It is really all about how we feel about ourselves when we look in the mirror.:thumbup:

I survived the gym! We even took before pictures! A couple of years ago I fell down on a concrete driveway. All my weight (preband) landed on my right knee. Needless to say I am hurting in that leg after the gym but it is OK. I will get through it! Thanks for the KUDOS! (((hugs)))

Good morning everyone~ HAPPY MAY 1ST!!!!! Today is my (and dh) first day at the gym. We signed up with 24 hour fitness...only 4 dollars a month more than the Y and it is alot nicer! We are each going to have 3 personal training sessions too. Man those things are expensive! I am so excited about it though! I have new resolve today...I have so many positive changes going on in my life that I cant help but get excited about it! I will ride the wave SO, todays weight is 226 and this is my reaction...on your mark, get set, GO I will make a new ticker later. Not sure when I will weigh again, but I am not really too wrapped up in a number this time. I am more just wanting to FEEL good, ya know? To look in the mirror again and go AHHHH, thats more like it! Of course the first goal is under 200, after that if memory serves me correctly the 180s is where I feel fantastic! We'll see. So I will get macy off to school, get breakfast in me, then head to the gym. Have a great day everyone! Wish me luck!

I remember bringing macy in for her shots...tore my heart out every time they would poke her and make her cry............. :thumbup: Poor babies!

Good morning violets~ Judy-yep, all healed up from my flu or virus or whatever it was! Thank you :biggrin: Today is the day we join either the Y or 24 hr fitness. I am happy about that! I will get back on soon....have a great day!

She took the pics down after her dad and I talked to her this morning. Dunno if her mom knows about them but it is up to dh to tell her. She knew they weren't appropriate and knew which ones we were talking about. I am just glad they are down. Terry-glad you stayed home, I was thinking about you! Heather-thanks for the pics :drool: Very cute!!

Pamela....is that movie good? I have been wanting to see it because the trailer looks good!

Good morning friends~ Its raining so bad that the frogs are unhappy about it too! Some school closings, but not macys. Our roads are OK for right now. Should clear up some in an hour or 2 from what I hear. This morning I saw some pics that my dsd posted on myspace that are not "good girl" pics. (she is 14, almost 15). Do not get me wrong, she isn't nekkid in them but she is trying to show off her figure and be sexy. I showed dh and he called her and we both told her what we thought but really the bottom line is gonna be if her mom lets her keep them on. I told dh if her mom lets her keep the pics on there that he still needs to talk to his daughter and let her know that HE is not happy about it at all. There is one thing for sure....there is no way in hell I would let my dd have pics like that online. No WAY! We'll see what happens. (probably nothing, ugh) It upsets me so much when parents wanna be 'friends' with their kids instead of parenting their kids. BUT, Dr. Phil says since I am just a stepmom that I should be the silent observer....and that is SO not in my character. I will tell dh what I think though! I want to be 'friends' with my dd BUT first and foremost I am her mom. Can you tell I am passionate about this? lol Have a great day everyone! (((hugs)))

That was hilarious!!!!!!!!! Thx terry!!

This page is as white as my legs....

Good morning everyone! I am a hurry to get macy ready for school. Wanted to pop in and tell everyone to have a fantastic day! Respect the pouch!

Congrats Jane! What a big step that is....I will keep my fingers crossed! I am sure that God has great plans in store for you! I slept all day and dd and dh just got home around 6. My whole body is sore. I feel like I have been hit by a train. At least the nausea is gone :laugh: Mom told me that while macy was there today she was riding her tricycle full speed having races with her imaginary friends, hit a bump and got startled and forgot to put on her brakes and crashed into the wall in the garage. She has a bruise on her shoulder and light blue marks under her eyes but she is OK. She will probably be sore in the morning. Hope she doesnt wake up with 2 black eyes!! lol I will have some explaining to do to the school! Terry & Haydee-I really enjoyed lunch and am looking forward to doing it again. Have a good night everyone! :thumbup:

Good morning! I am ALIVE...sore & weak, but alive! :smile2: Frank got a touch of whatever we had but he went to work this morning anyway...he mainly just had stomach cramps. I am glad he did not get worse (yet). Have a great day violets. Thanks for the purple healing vibes! (((hugs)))

Ugh.... I slept all day. My fever has been 102 (macy didnt run fever with hers). My sister came over and spent the night last night and so did dss and dsd. Well, I got my sister to bring macy to my moms and sent dss and dsd home early so I can try to get better. Throwing up sucks!

I was puking all night and still feel like crap but wanted to come in and say hi. Back to bed....

My GOSH it was so good to see them both! I wish we could have stayed longer. We need to do it again really soon....and keep the conversation lighter I felt like I was on Dr Phil...LOL Friends are the best!

I SO do not wanna post this pic...I tried to crop it and fix the lighting and I still look like shit....imagine what the pic looked like before I fixed it? LOL
