She Smiles

I just finished [ame=http://www.amazon.co.uk/90-day-Geisha-Chelsea-Haywood/dp/1741666414]90 Day Geisha by Chelsea Haywood[/ame]. I really liked it Now I am reading Bitter chocolate by Carol Off, its a bit heavier in topic, but I think its going to affect me for the rest of my life (Fair Trade Chocolate all the way!).

Posting to say I don't know what a Frosty is, but I think it might but just what I need right now.....my nasty bacterial throat infection from 2 weeks ago is back and rearing its ugly head. Ugh. The Doc gave me tomorrow off work, so at least I'll have time to watch the Sex and the City Movie DVD I bought a while ago and haven't watched yet. I saw it at the movies, but am exciting about seeing it again. The shoes!!!! I love the shoes!!!

I have one....mine delves into other areas of my life too. The link is below :biggrin:

I don't think you look square AT ALL! All your curves are just smoothed out now to look fluid and really lovely. Enjoy your new body!

Wow, I'm floored, you look amazing. Your before tummy looks just like mine does now....makes me think again about saving that $20k I was quoted earlier this year for a LBL.

Ha sounds like I'm writing your blog for you Jacqui! Mine started out as an attempt to track my exercise earlier this year to get the last 20 or 30 pounds off....and its evolved to be more a personal blog over time......I've always found writing cathartic, so I enjoy it. My url is in my signature.

Thank you for creating a space for us to all come together Alex! Hooray for LBT!

But, what doesn't kill you will only make you stronger, right? Or in this case, thinner!!! Stick with it, you'll have such a sense of personal satisfaction if you make it through the diet your Doc set for you. You can do it! *hugs*

Well we can get this last 20-30 pounds off together! This the second attempt for me after an unfill/gain situation a few months back. I got down to about 145 last time and gained back to almost 170 when I was unfill/finding god restriction again. Its coming off sloooooowly...... You and me both. I'm off work today. I had an ear/throat thing a few weeks back, finished the medication last week for it and it seems my body just doesn't want to let go of it. Off to the Dr at 3pm today for me :biggrin:

smsmithart, whats your ultimate goal weight? You're doing great!

Wooot! 161! Awesome :w00t: I know the feeling about taking it one lb (or kilo in my case) at a time. I did a little dance this morning when I got the scale and saw a 70! So, I think every rude, obnoxious, arrogant, mean and narrow minded a-hole within a 50 km radius came into my work today. Apparently some freak is going to call my boss tomorrow to complain that I lied to him about what one of our soils is composed of (I work in a landscape centre). Dude. Its soil. There is soil, compost and sand in there. WTF would I WANT to lie to you about that? Seriously???? Jerk. Funny thing is, when he calls the manager to complain, he's gonna tell him the EXACT same thing. GAAAAAAAAAAAH! Some people have too much time on their hands. END RANT.

It sunday morning and I'm off to work at my 2nd job. So not in the mood to be happy and chirpy to customers today. Wish I would just crawl back into bed and under the covers.....

Woot SnT! If you don't have the shoulder tip pain yet, its possible that you might not get it at all, Ihad it for about the first 5 days. Posting to say I have to go vote in the local state election today. I have no idea who I am voting for....I'm usually a very informed voter, but this time round the candidates all seem to be a bunch of clowns so who knows who is going to get the 1 on my ballot paper. Ugh.

A similar thing happened to me, life got in the way and I sustained a knee injury which stopped me from doing my favourite exercise - long distance outdoor running. I was almost entirely stagnant for about 3 or 4 months. I'd run one day and then do nothing for 2 weeks. I knew the only way I would get back to it is if I had it staring me right in the face. I joined a gym I HAVE to walk past to get home after work. Like some one else responded, I play the "just stay for as long as you feel like" game and always end up doing a good hard 40-60 minute cardio work out at least 4 days a week. Do you have any way you can put yourself in a situation like that? Where you are forcing yourself to be faced with it everyday? I've also found that the results I am seeing are motivating too....I know that's one step past where you are now but it sure will help you keep going back to whatever you choose when you get going again! Good luck!

I replied to your other thread, and PMed you my addy so you can add me. Theres a nike + challenge on my blog too, if anyone wants in

Hey Huggie, I might have been part of the one that you were in that ended....what is your nike + name? I started a new one yesterday, so far its just me and Losingjusme....I've made mine for 75 days (takes us until almost the end of the year). Details are on my blog (link below). Let me know if you want to be part of it too (PM me the email address attached to your nike + profile I'll pm you my email address, I'll be part of yours :thumbup:

Good luck SNT!!!! You'll be in band land before you know it!

Ooohhhh. I think I know which LBTer you are talking about.....I had a look around.....

Who is Elisabeth Hasselbeck for us foreigners?? And links to threads, or hints at least, please?

Isn't that the best feeling in the world? The breaking point for me in deciding to get my band once and for all was trying to get into a ride at disneyland with DH that was supposed to fit 2 adults comfortably. I got stuck in it, in front of a massive crowd and there was NO way in hell DH would have ever fit in with me (he was quite slender at the time). I had to prise myself out of it, and that was a big embarassing struggle. The shame!!!! :thumbup:

Phew we're back online. That was the longest 10 minutes EVER!

Yeah it was good fun. None of the REAL fancy dealers let you near their cars, they're all roped off (lamborghini, ferarri, maserati etc) and the nicer cars I like (Audi, Mercedes and BMW) weren't there this year, which was a big let down. So it was mostly just run of the mill "see them on the street every day" kind they had. But it was a nice weekend away all the same. And yes! Perth is days away from where I am. Polar ends of the country in fact! I've never been to Perth, but I have heard it is an amazingly beautiful city, I bet your brother is loving it! (and even with an American husband, I still have to ask where is "this" US state? Geography was NEVER a strong point for me haha)

I feel EXACTLY the same about looking at my pre unfill weight gain photos too. We can do this, WE CAN and we'll be THAT hot again.

Geez it was quiet around here the last couple of days! Are you people out having lives or something?? I'm posting to say I'm back from Sydney! Hi all!!

Happy Birthday Alex! And I second the thank you for creating this home away from home for us. I'm made some wonderful friends here!
