Ok awesome! Let do it then. Anyone who wants to participate in the Labor Day Challenge just let me know... also let me know how many pounds you want to lose. :wink2: Let's do weigh ins on Mondays since that is the day Sept 1st falls on. Sound good?

Dee I don't want to steal your thunder but figured I would give you a break from keeping tally this time. Just yell at me if you want to do it! lol.

My goal is to get to TWOTERVILLE! 8.5 pounds to get there, so I will shoot for 10 pounds. :cool2:

Here is a couple pictures of jeans that I wore on our trip to Paris in May. They fit tight on the trip. These were taken when we went to the sand dunes 2 weeks ago.

Just me @ 6 months

Lookin' good, Ladies!!!!!!!:wink2:

Pix: You guys look great!!

Lap: love that smilin' baby!

Mini: I want a trip like that!

Denver: He told me no potatoes, no rice, no bread, and one more high carb thing I can't remember right now:frown: So it wasn't absolutely NO carbs as many veggies have carbs...but just think meat and veggies and you will be fine.

I called and paid my final $9800 today. Have to say I am getting nervous, guys. Don't know what about exactly...probably the immediate time after and the travel home, although the flight isn't that long. I guess I fear I won't have the right stuff around the house after surgery. I have had a couple of sleepless nights over this (in addition to the ones concerning Tucker.)

Update on the Tuck-man: Emergency hospital called yesterday to report on the bacteria culture they took from the wound around the trach. hole.

It is E.Coli, so the Clavanox they had him on was doing no good. He needs a new antibiotic. Called Dr. Jeff as I was concerned about the E.Coli; he said "No worries! E.Coli is everywhere." The meds, however, are something else!! A 10-DAY SERIES: $124...the tech called the company "Nazis" as they have monopoly on this particular drug and charge 4 times its worth:cursing::wink2::cool2:

Phone just rang: A/C in my truck: $1100.:scared2: Boy, I am glad I have good credit as that is $10,000 just today!:tt2:

All good investments to make you happy, healthy and cool! Money well spent, friend! I am so glad Tuck is getting better.

So I was goofing around on the internet today (what else is new?) and stumbled across a killer deal on airfare to Costa Rica next February during my spring break. Under $500 RT on Frontier through Denver! Anyhoo, snapped it right up. We're going to stay on the Caribbean side near a national park that supposedly has the best snorkeling in the area. It's also much cheaper on that side of the country (beautiful private bungalow for $100 per night). I'm so excited.

AND - it really gives me some motivation to lose as much as I can by then and to get into good physical shape as well. There are lots of jungle hikes, kayaking tours, canopy zip lines, etc. in the area and I want to be able to enjoy myself and really be able to fully participate. OOO, and there's a sloth sanctuary too where you can hold baby sloths. I guess there are monkeys everywhere too. It sounds so awesome.

I wanna go!!! I've always wanted to do a zip line!

I was in to Dr. K's with a friend yesterday and he said there would be over 100 people. Sure hope we can figure out a way to all meet up so I can put names with faces.

Anita, way to go with the new jeans, size 14 is half of what you were. Last time I saw you you were getting skinny. Now i know you will be soon. Don't turn side ways or you will disappear.

See you guys at the picnic bbq

YES!!! I think we SHOULD do another challenge. I liked being accountable to others! :wink2: We could do a Labor Day challenge. That is exactly a month from now. A nice short 4 week challenge. 8-10 pounds... something like that. What does everyone think??

Count me in, Ador! I'm shooting for 8 pounds!

Hey, Mare! I'll be there in spirit! Good to hear from you and I hope that your reflux is behaving.

Munchk -- Sorry about your sister's job, but hopefully she listen to her big sis and stay nearby for the next job!

BTW, someone has abandoned a lab puppy (about a year old) at my sister's house. She wants me to take him, but I think he's growing on her....... labs have a way of doing that, ya know.

Hi Dee -- My final weigh-in for the BBQ challenge was down 1 pound!. I didn't hit my total goal, but I lost overall so it's all good. I got a slight fill yesterday and I'm back in the saddle!

PS Ain't love grand?? You are absolutely glowing in your pictures and in your words!
