GOOD MORNING! Like Suzie said it was GORGEOUS yesterday and supposed to be even nicer today.... Have you seen those Topsy Turvey tomatoe planters o tv?? Well I did and ended up buying 3 of them off ebay... what started out as a little project turned into a HOME DEPOT run! LOL DH ended up building an L shaped frame with 9 hooks for my topsey turveys!!!!!!!!! Now I have to either order more or hit the AS SEEN ON TV STORE.. LOL...... I'm hoping they turn out great because NO weeds, no cages and no worry of bunnies or puppies eating my plants and no bending over to get them......... I will let you all know.. so far I have grape tomatoes, early girl, and then strawberries planted..... I also worked on our little garden pond.. planted some seeds.. transplanted some more vinca vine and basically spent the entire day outside in the yard......... as Charles would say..... "you are as happy as a pig in shit"............ The boys had a Water baloon fight oh and Josh DOES have to have eye surgery on both eyes..... his mom had the same surgery when she was little............ all that will take place the end of May...... I've already had my coffee on the deck (albeit a bit chilly) I LOVE this time of year!!!!!!!! Time to head back outdoors.

Good morning V's! I will not be at work due to dH dr appointment and then our 8 yr old has an eye surgeon appointment........ so I'll be away.. I had to come post that I made it through 2 days of no junk and now I'm down again........... whooooooohoooooooooo 187

I LOVE THE PICS DENISE!!!!!! You ARE the cutest and coolest nanna around!!!!!!! and you are smaller than your daughters! NSV NSV!

WOW congrats! and my question.... how many sizes have you dropped? My guess is that you are one compact dynamo packed with muscle.... Since you are training for a marathon you will need more calories than I do.... I am mainly trying to cut the junk out.. which has been my biggest downfall as of late (and for months really)

At that time in my life I was playing every sport that the school offered.. the girl in the pink is the SKINNIEST BEAN POLE.. (still to this day) and she was MEAN MEAN MEAN.. she told me all time that I was fat.. she even turned the entire 5th grade class against me (seriously.. Janice had to sneak behind the monkey bars to tell me that she was sorry she couldn't be my friend because paige would turn everyone against her. Later I ended up getting into a fist fight with her in the bathroom and she was then forever my best friend (fake best friend)......... so the above pic is a couple years later..... LOL When my mom saw this pic. she just said. "I remember when you looked like that".............. uhhhhhhhhh mothers....... the between the lines meaning was that she remembered when I was skinny! LOL

WHOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Jenn!!!!!!!! you hawt sexy biotch with a job!!!!!!!!! Speaking of which..... here is one of me on Punk Rock day 7th or 8th grade....... and I thought I was SOOOOOOOOO Fat! Janice, ME, Paige, Stephanie... (Janice is still a very good friend of mine) and she is the one who told me that this was posted on the reunion website.. (I didn't graduate with them so I wasn't in the loop)

Pam you are going to be in vegas 1 week BEFORE ME!!!!!!!!!!!!! Did I tell you guys that my sister is booked to go with me instead of dh? She was able to use FF miles to get her flight for free! WHOOOHOOO.. it's going to be sooooo much fun!!!!!!! I did it I did it I did it............. I ate good all day, I stayed away from the junk that has been running my life and I bounced DOWN to 188.2! That really gave me the motivation to stay good today too! The worst thing I had yesterday was a small baked potatoe with real butter (I refuse to eat fake butter.. blech) I was only able to eat half a grilled burger and then it came back up anyway... I stayed away from the kitchen all night and woke up victorious!

Suzie: I have no idea!

Yes, Denise is posting on her myspace and I've left comments for her but I think she is stuck like the rest of us and with both daughters being preggo AND the house being built.. I think she is taking lbt hiatas.

Ok... so its 3:40 p.m. this is what I've put in my mouth today: 1 glass of milk 1 thermos of coffee w/sf creamer 1/2 a bowl of WC oatmeal (made with milk 3 caramels (full disclosure) I just have to make it through the evening and yes drink some water would be a nice touch :rolleyes2: We are planning to grill burgers (YEAH RIGHT Like I will be able to eat them!!!) but I will try albeit soaked in ketchup ...... (Full Disclosure right???) NO, ABSOLUTELY NO.. icecream will pass my lips tonight... Please lord help me be strong!

GOOD MORNING!!!!!! Happy Bandversary Jenn! Kat: geesh woman.. I hope you start feeling better! Jane: Have a great day at work!!!! Laura: 229, 229, 229 229!!! WHOOOHOOOOOOO! Pam: Yeah DH would stab me with a fork if I tried to split a meal with him! LOL........ so I just order alacart or have left overs. I am sooooooo sick of being stuck.. I hit ONEderland on 1/05/08.. and I keep bouncing from 189-192..... I think its time for me to start a traditional eating plan..... go into regular diet mode.. because obviously this last 30-40 lbs is not wanting to budge.. it is weird to think that I'm a mere 30ish pounds from goal.... surreal really..... I can tell that my gut is getting mushy and deflated.. it is so weird.. it's like the fat is falling down and settling "down there" so much that a mons lift might be the only cure..... WIERD LOOKING. Yesterday I wore a size 10 black levi capri, and then after work switched to a size 10 denim capri.. (both had a bit of stretch) but I felt victorious.. as those black levi capri are officially THE SMALLEST THING IN MY CLOSET PRE-BAND.. I got into them for uuuuhhhh a MINUTE the last time I lost weight... yet I was a good 15 lbs lighter than I am now.......... Today I am wearing a size 16 NONstretch Docker pant.. it is loose on the thighs but snug in the waist... go figure.... DH said my butt looked good in them... so I guess I need to quit focusing on sizes and start going for style......(which is also weird) I have been hitting the clearance racks lately and it is so weird that more than just one or two things fit and I actually have a choice as to what looks good and then refrain from buying 1 in every color.. LOL Today I started my day with a glass of milk.. and I'm getting ready to go make some oatmeal....... today I'm going to TRY to stay away from the junk that goes down oohhh sooo easily. Yesterday I had: pb cookie ok... two 1 bag of popcorn w/real butter melted all over it a bit of beef stew broth a bowl of peanut butter icecream on top of a piece of chocolate cake a glass of milk ..... so yeah.. full disclosure........ there IS room for improvement :confused:

23rd afternoon

Good morning all! I have right around 4cc's in my 4cc band and I can still eat..... I'm going for my one year appointment next week and I'm going to have him check my fill level (maybe) kind of afraid to mess with it. Sunny and supposed to hit 70 today.. whooooohooooooo Jenn: GOOD LUCK TODAY!

That is BooBooKitty with red hair! AWESOME!

good morning! the sun is shining after frost attacked my dafoldils..... Cool Pics Laura! Jane: We have a lot of brown recluse around our house... don't know why.. I just kill them. :rolleyes2: What I hate are WASP's, and all things that fly and sting... also.. I do NOT like water snakes....... seeing a little head pop up out of the water while I'm relaxing on a raft will FREAK ME OUT!!!!!!!!!! My sister is BOOKED to go with me to Vegas! WHOOOHOOOO she was able to use FF miles
