(((Jen))) hope you feel better!

Hi ladies! I am just doing minimal shopping today...like walgreens lol Did you all hear about the man that worked @ walmart that got killed by the stampeding customers this morning? UNREAL! We put our tree up today and we need some new decorations so we will brave target or walmart later to get some. I have eaten too much...yes, less than I used to be able to eat but still too much. It is OK though, it's the holidays. Have a great day everyone.

Still 206 after 5 or 6 weeks...oh well, at least it isn't 207 :cool: I am in the baking mood so I am gonna go bake some thanksgiving desserts. I am glad that I am not craving sweets right now. That would be a disaster. My daughter loves to bake with me though and we hardly ever get to do it so it will be loads of fun. I may even take some pics and post them. I really have this feeling that either tomorrow or Thanksgiving morning I will get on the scales and be under 206....like 205.5 then be too paranoid to actually enjoy Thanksgiving. Oh well, it would give me one more thing to be thankful for!! I wanted to be back in onederland but I guess it just wasn't meant to be. :confused:

Yumm...the food was so good! I had already told myself I was not gonna weigh again until next week anyway. No big deal. I have been bouncing around like a ping pong ball with the weight so I would much rather just call it 206 and weigh a week from now and see 206 then instead of a bunch of ups & downs between there...too much of a rollercoaster. When I lost weight before, I could weigh every day with no problem but NOW I can see I can't do that any more. Besides, I am starting to get on Judys nerves. lol Hope everyone enjoyed their day. I did

by the way, the 204.5 was just temporary. It was nice while it lasted. Back to 206.5 today. I think I will ask santa to get me some new scales. Oh well, I will just enjoy my day today and jump back with the program tomorrow.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING DAY!!! GOBBLE GOBBLE GOBBLE :grouphug: HAVE A GREAT ONE VIOLETS

To all violets that will not log on tomorrow... Happy Thanksgiving!! Thanks for being such wonderful friends

Kat-your signature thing at the bottom that says "Proud Shrinkin Violet"....shouldn't yours say Proud Shrunk Violet? lol

Thanks ladies...it really is a naner boobie kinda day for me!! I only ate 2 of the cookies I baked yesterday and before I went to sleep last night I had a guilt complex about it so I got up and ran in place until I thought I was gonna pass out. Then I layed down in bed and thought 'well, if it is still 206, at least I did my part'. Right now my house smells like carrot cake. Macy and I are going to do the cream cheese frosting in a little while. Kat-sounds like Kinsey (and Grannie) had a fantastic time!!

I did it....I finally did it! What a joyous occasion it was when I stepped on the scales this morning! 204.5. :confused: How is *that* for incentive to behave myself over the holidays? I never wanna see that dumb number again. I have so much to be thankful for. I am truly blessed. I have a Godsent family, I am healthier than I have ever been (even though I gained some weight back), I am a nonsmoker for the first Thanksgiving since 1983....my family is healthy, I have a great group of friends here on this site (shout out to the violets WOOT-WOOT)). I may not be rich in money but I am rich in every single other aspect of my life. What more can someone ask? OMG, I am going to sit here and make myself cry. There are so many people who are not as happy as I am right now. That breaks my heart. Some have lost loved ones this past year, some are homeless, jobless, so many scenarios. My heart goes out to them. I am counting my blessings. Whether I am 400 pounds or 130 pounds (yeah right), I am blessed. Thank you God. To anyone who might be reading this blog...have a wonderful Thanksgiving and do not eat anything you might regret on Friday. Make healthy choices. Now if I can practice what I preach I will be in business!! Once again....BYE BYE 206.....

I did it, i did it!!! I am no longer 206....I am 204.5. WOOHOOO!!! OMG, I am SO happy!!! :wub: I have waited about 6 weeks for this!! :wub::hurray::tt2::pray2: Thank God!!

OMG...the house smells SO good!! Here are a few pics of my kitchen helper

So I am the one who has lost her mind after all. I just got back from buying pie, cakes & cookie ingredients. Have I gone mad or just domesticated? I am gonna have fun though. I have always been in the workforce during the holidays and when I had to make something for the holidays I would gripe about it while I was doing it because it was just 'one more thing' I had to do. THIS time it is different and I am lovin' every minute of it and so is Macy! I will peek back in later :thumbup:

you know I love ya Trace! :thumbup:

Me thinks the other Tracy is losing it

Good morning violets! Pamela-I love long posts! Thanks for sharing what you have been up to because we have been thinking about you and this difficult time you are going through. Macy is out of school all this week! Michelle-wow, that is gonna be one HUGE grocery bill. I know, already been there & done that. Here I sit broke. I see a Mikes Hard Lemonade in your future! Terry-I am so jealous of Hero. I really am. What I would not give to have a warm big ole dog to cuddle with on these cold nights! There is just a feeling of security when a dog is near. Is it just me? Suzie-I can not even imagine going to a childs funeral. I was supposed to go to one but I just couldn't. I prayed about it and the Lord gave me a free pass for that one. Some things people can handle, some can't....THAT is one of my can'ts. :tt2: Judy-Could you please UPS me some snow? I am like Terry in the thinking that there would have been some kind of fireworks at your church the other day. I can understand you keeping your mouth shut. Must be really hard to do. You are to be commended. :thumbup: TracyinKS-I wanted to say thanks again for the flying monkey! How are you doing? Haydee-I know you have big plans for Thanksgiving, right?! House hopping or one huge event? Jane-still hanging in there? I am. Kinda lik walking on a treadmill, ya know, walk walk walk and never really get anywhere? :w00t: lol Jenn-what are your Thanksgiving plans? Laura-I saw on facebook you said you were painting christmas cards...whatchutalkinbout? Sounds fun. Kat-the lady that makes the candles & lotion....do the candles really put off the smell when you light them? Some don't and that aggrevates me. I love yankee candles because they always smell up the whole house! :tt1: Denise-are you excited about having a new house to have Thanksgiving in? I'll bet that is so exciting. Are you loving it? Gina-come out come out wherever you are!! Well I am still hanging in there @ 206. Maybe I can go under for Thanksgiving? I'll probably be 205.5 Thanksgiving morning then not want to eat one morsel of anything tasty...THAT would be about right. Yesterday and the day before I walked a mile each day. Plan on doing the same today & tomorrow. It is really nice outside. Kinda cold but I would rather kinda cold than kinda hot! I have been typing this post for a very long time and would be super duper PO'd if I went to post it and lost it! Have a wonderful day friends and make healthy choices!!

macy called her mawmaw & pop to tell them that her momma got a surprise in the mail today but she didn't get one:crying:....needless to say the mailman will be bringing her something very soon! lol what a girl! Judy-love the lights...makes me feel all christmasy inside :cursing: goodnight all...sleep tight :thumbup: (I got tired of waiting to be able to change my weight on my ticker so I at least was able to change the style of it:tongue2:)

Tracy...I got mine too. What a hoot! Macy LOVES it! I told dh the significance it holds and he thought it was funny. I don't know who played with it more...him or Macy! Now I will have to try to get it away from her just like the Ty beanie baby giraffe Laura got me! lol Thank you so much sista

:thumbup: Here I am. Sorry about that! I have been doing so many different things that I do not know whether I am coming or going! Good news...it WAS fluid retention and I am back down to the 206 I never go under which is a relief!! Never heard of fluid rentention while having a virus! Oh well, alls well that ends well. Laura-strange thing...I QUIT having reflux problems when I got pregnant and never had it come back?! Was able to stop meds when I got preggo and never had to start taking them again. Strange. Jane-I am gonna send you an e-mail right now... I still have alot on my plate so I am gonna get off here for now but I will bbl.... ((((Pamela))))

Hi everyone-just coming in real quick to say have a great night & sweet dreams....

Kat-thanks for the website...I am gonna check it out. I am a sucker for that kind of stuff :laugh:
