TracyinKS

Good Morning! I am better today......... I think I must be getting ready to start TOM, and wedding jitters because DH and I are FIGHTING... our styles vary.. I'm an explosive venter and he is a silent treatment runner........ (and that drives me INSANE) I vent and I'm done.......... the silent treatment only makes me madder until I get meaner and force a argument..... anyway.. this is crazy, because WE ARE ALREADY MARRIED! Plus: LONG LONG SAGA but I had to give Cody and enema last night....... a 5'4", 149 lb, 12.5 year old boy............ poor kid, hell POOR ME! LOL but he was freaking out so I just said.... "LOOK, to me its just a big Robby butt and it is the same I would do for him or dad if needed, so lets just get it over with." we did and he feels much better........ the things we do

emotional eating....... pam I feel ya on that tonight.. I just got done stuffing a heart shaped fancy cake in my mouth and then since I was crying I ate a piece of garlic bread.... now I feel miserable, guilty, and gotta go

CONGRATS Haydee!!!!!!!!!!

GOOD MORNING! Kat, be careful! Suzie: It is raining in Leavenworth too! Cindy: I about snorted coffee out my nose when I read about your intended anniversary gift! Shannon: as others have said............. CTCD... CUT THE CRAP DAY! Jennifer: Kat had a great point with the life insurance issue. WATER WATER WATER I need water!

I don't really get the easy way out speech, because those who know... have seen my yo yo up and down the scale and know that losing weight for me isn't the issue.. it's the keeping it off........ also... those people love me and have seen me break down in tears because I COULDn't eat when I was stressed....... they feel sorry for me when the rest of the group is eating stuff I can't........ that said....... I am NOT HUNGRY....... and that does make is EASIER for me to stay on plan. Sure I can lose with out it, but it was a daily fight with myself to do so..... now, my stomach doesn't constantly remind me about it.......... Those same people who say we took the easy way out... well, ask them if they can quit smoking, drinking, cussing, whatever their vice is... and ask them to quit justifying their own existance by downing yours...... I used to get the same thing when I would lose on Atkins.... people would stop me in the elevator, the bathroom, the hall and ask how I had lost the weight... when I would tell them.. they would gasp and say....... OH I COULD NEVER GIVE UP Pasta, Potatoes, Bread.... etc..... and then would tell me how unhealthy it was for me...... blah blah blah.... people are people.. do what is best for YOU and don't sweat the small stuff!

Shirt is toooooo big for you now TracyK! LOOKING GOOD!!!!!!!!! Hey guys........... guess what....... I just got back from eating pizza toppings!!!!!!!!!!!!!! toppings off 2.5 small pieces of pizza.. I didn't PB, but my port area kind of hurts... I don't know if its related or not.. I'm just zonked out from the day.

Now now michelle........... we KNOW you have stock in the pink pwer tool section!!!!!!!!!!!! ............... or wait......... that's me!

Laura: Good Luck with the Spanish!!!!!!! ( I can't even roll my rrrrrrr'sssss) I need to cut the crap today and drink my water....... I am no help with the fills, because we all know that I am a FILL crazy person... heck I have 4cc's in my 4cc band! Although I can still eat meatloaf (even reheated meatloaf) It did even have a bite of a tortila the other night at dinner..... it is so nice to eat real food again... but I'm not going crazy with it... I mean chicken is a thing of my past and has been for months..... I can't eat scrambled eggs but I can eat an omlett made at an omlett bar???? must have something to do with the mix. I am so amazed that I have not bounced back up to the 2'sss so maybe I can make 189 by the wedding. Tracy you are doing sooooooooo great! I can't wait to get where you are. Denise: How's grandmatobe today???????????? Everyone... have a wonderful rest of the day! Panda: hows mama doing????? SARA and Lunasa!!!!!!!!!!!! Missing you guys!

Julie: wishing you a speedy recovery... a friend of mine has a seroma from her tummy tuck, and has been getting it drained weekly.....550cc's the first time and about 100cc's every weeks since! I feel for you sweety!

GOOD MORNING! I have a busy morning....... check in later

LapDancer is PATTY! Watchin Biggest Loser!!!!!!!!!! weigh in time

Thank you smyly! I just talked to my friend B (the one who came up a few weeks ago for the weekend) she used to have her own shop but she gave it up........... anywhooooooo SHE IS DOING MY HAIR! She also raised two teenage girls full of prom updo exerience... she is bringing all her pins and product and i'm to get some baby's breath.. and she is coming up FRIDAY to help decorate.... I LOVE THIS WOMAN. Terry thinks the necklace she made might be too bronzy... but even if it is.. I will wear it with pride to work and such..... I feel so blessed to be part of this group...... It is with great sadness that I will have to pass on the trip.. I simply can not swing it..... Husbands.......... well mine admited that he has not filed taxes since 2004!!!!!!!!!!!! (Good as they are they do NOT come without stupid ass faults) ME........ miss credit score patrol..... I about hit the roof and then the floor... WHAT????????????? I screamed.... he hid his head and said that he was afraid I wouldn't marry him if I knew.... GEESH!!!!! So........ I have been researching late taxes and the good thing is if you get a refund you don't owe penalties, but you do forfeit refunds after a certain period of time... so I've been working on each year individually............... CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS HORSE SHIT????????? (he's gone so I'm venting) He really is a good guy but he royally sucks at money and credit management...... good with the bad, good with the bad.... he is a good man....... even though I want to wring his freaking neck.

Patty: HIYA lapdancer!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I often go check up on you over on Dr. K's thread... you have done so great... we've come a long way baby! This time last year... well I don't have to remind YOU of the insurance crapola. Ms_Jen & Gina: Good to see you ladies!!!!!!! I am amazed that I haven't bounced back up to 200.... today is going to be a Water day..... :rofl: Busy day at work, so I'll check in later.

Very interesting journey and read! ROOTING YOU ON FROM Kansas!

LOL! I AM THE PERSON WHO DOES MY HAIR!!!!!!!! (a professional hair persons NIGHTMARE!) yep, I've been known to chop on my own bangs with DULL household utensils! I have a vision of blonde highlights, and lots of curly tendrils with BIG volume at the top of my crown (you know to make my face look smaller) I have promised dh, we will spend tonight going over the list of songs and things.......so I can't be on here very long. HAYDEE: SO GLAD TO HAVE YOU BACK!!!!!!!!!!! All my violets are more than welcome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! March 1st

Jane: I had a perm back in May I think.. it is all but gone now.. I have fine hair with body... I can put crap on it and make it wave a bit, I wouldn't call my hair great..... it goes flat real easy and this little impromptu updo for this pic was simply pulling my pony tail high up on my head....... I dont think a viel would really be my style... since this is my second go round, but my arms... YUCK..... thanks for all the compliments ladies...... it really means a lot... So do all hairdressers do UpDo's???? At my first wedding I did my own hair. (disaster!) LeePress on nails that kept popping off (it was august!) and a size 18 dress....... this one is shaping up better already!

LOL Judy.... please tell me what you would think is good! I am horrible with that kind of stuff.... please go pick out something online and send me the link..... Terry is actually making my jewelry... so we will see what shows up in the mail! I will be spanx'd and hopefully about 10 more pounds down so that the dress won't be so tight........ but michelle! LOL... dh saw the dress and was like WOWZER!!! hair... I don't know......... thinking of going and getting it highlighted.... and DONE.. but up or down?????

Just snapped these over my lunch because my sis wanted to know what the dress looked like..... ( I hate my arms, but they will be tan atleast!)

SHRINK'N VIOLETS Hello all... I'm Tracy and I'm starting this thread because I just found out that I'm scheduled for Surgery on April 26, 2007. fffffffffffffffffffast forward to April 30, 2007 SPRING HAS SPRUNG! We made it to the other side of bandland and now we are set to support one another while we shrink our booties and grow into our new smaller skins. All are welcome to join in and post, but we are not a group that bickers..... please be supportive as we all have different paths to follow... but the journies to the more healthy self beckons.... Let the losing begin!!!!!!!!!!!

Just took this over my lunch break in a rush.........

Jennifer: Yes, make sure that judge knows his financial status is getting ready to change.... OR send a letter in to the clerk and request a continuance..... I know that in KS you can only request a modification every 3 years. I would not be surprised if DBF shows up with representation since he also most likely has an atty hired for the settlement where millions are at stake. PROTECT YOURSELF PLEASE

I do however love a good glass of ice cold milk for a snack.. as a matter of fact I had one tonight to curb my evening hunger.... in my strict atkins days.. I always passed on the milk, but truly my carbs are down so much now just because of the volume of what I eat.. that the milk carbs doesn't seem to hurt me.

Ditto here again on the carbs sugar issue....... this is why I like those protien bullets that are like jello shots ... they have 100 cal, 0carbs, 0 sugar, and 27g protein......... I can get them down pretty easy in the mornings.. (I really don't get hungry in the mornings anymore) I get mine at GNC, and mainly order online for the discount

Jane: LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Also....... DH snores like a freight train and he often stops breating I am sure he has some sort of sleep apnea, but he won't hear of it.... so I routinely turn him over...... do not even think twice about sleeping with your machine............ oh crap he just peeked in and read this.. he is now as I type this giving me crap about telling people he doesn't even know that he snores... heeeheeeee.. he is really pretty testy about it....... OH WELL!

I guess I would say....... you need to start your metabolism in the morning...... do a protien (jello shot) then eat a late lunch.. then a bandster size dinner and then STOP...... I know it is so easy to read and say.... but doing it is another thing Seriously though...... get some Protein in the morning.. it will help you stay even for the rest of the day
