Shrinkin' Violets Part 3 Read HERE!

[kity 2]

Tracy, you should NEVER leave us over guilt, ya know if all of us failed at the band, there'd still be nothing but love for each other; you should definitely know that.

I don't judge any of you (and I know none of you judge me) when we fall off the wagon. We're here for support, and friendship!

As for the virus, reboot your computer and hit f8 when it's restarting (when it starts back up), and open in safe mode with networking.

It kills any programs running. So then open internet, go to www.download.com and download adaware, spybot search & destroy, and trojan hunter (this isn't a free program, but it allows a free trial-all you need).

Run all 3 while in safemode (if something makes you reboot, make sure to open back up in safemode with networking). follow instructions for updating all 3 programs and do full system scans. Should fix you up.

Yay no Ice cream :thumbup:

Can't wait to hear Adam then, I like him the most but haven't liked ANY song he's sang.. I like that song though, can't say I met an Aerosmith song I didn't like.

Thank gawd we have a youngin' in our lil' group! WTF did you just say??? I understood the part about Adam and Aerosmith. I've seen Aerosmith so many times (literally like 25 or 30) that I prolly wouldn't go even w/ free tix...but I love 'em!

[Daisalana 33]

No fair, Aerosmith came here once and the tix were sold out before they even went on sale..

oh and what I said is.. my husband use to be my boss and we worked for the university of new mexico, cleaning student's computers so they would work on the network :thumbup: lot of porn (translates to virus galore) on college kids' computers.

[Teachlady 3]

Sooooooooooooooo yer saying that Tracy's puter is loaded with porn, eh?? Only the minister's wife would pick up on that.. :thumbup::tt2:

Off to bed.. pool is open and we'll fire up the heater tomorrow. Hopefully next week, I'll be swimming even when it's freezing out!!!

Everyone sleep well!!

[Suziecat 379]

I wanna go swimming.

I love Aerosmith. And I think Adam rocks. I'm just tired of his screeching. He's no Steven Tyler, but he is talented.

Up and getting ready for my early shift. My throat is all yucky. I ate late last night and about 2am I woke up with bile in my throat. I know better than to eat past 7pm. I need to give myself time for my food to get down before I lay down in bed. It always backs up. I had to get up and go take a rolaid.

They are calling for storms today. I hope we don't get to much rain. Tomorrow is our day to cut the grass at our Church. It takes hubby and I about 6 hours to get it all done.

Yesterday when I was taking my sister all around, she told me she had been talking to a friend of hers and the friend said that she has asked her several times about my weight. She wants to know what my starting weight was. Well, I don't think it's any of her business. I didn't tell her that though. I just never told her what it was. Only 4 people know. The WW lady, my 2 docs and me. That's it. Not even hubby knows what my top weight was. I don't know if I will ever confess that. Maybe some day I will, I'm just not ready to admit it.

Everyone have a great day.

Good morning everyone~

Biggest Loser watchers....I am so disgusted at last nights finale. What a bummer! Helen looked like a skeleton...to the point that her head look GINORMOUS!...she was not healthy lookin' at all. She is my height and weighs 117?! Come ON!!!! She starved herself just to win the money...while Tara and Mike look healthy and trim. I hope she (Helen) did not bring the game to a new low....the goal should be healthy, not anorexic looking. Anywho, that is just my 2 cents.

Good morning ladies~Today is my last day with my trainer. In a way I am glad. I am gonna ask him what his plans are for me today and if it is the same thing he did to me on Friday I am gonna tell him to stick it. :ohmy: It has taken me from Friday til now to feel decent again. Just teach me, don't kill me. It would be different if I had signed up for the long term training, but in the beginning I told him that the 3 I am getting I wanted instructonal training and he agreed. SO, we'll see. My appt is @ 9.

:smile2: TracyinKS-yay on no ice cream!

And American Idol....I just love dude that wears glasses (whatever his name is). Adam screams too much for me. Don't really like him.

OK, need to get off here and get ittle bitty ready for school. I will be back after the gym...:tt2:

[kity 2]

Hey Ladies~

Laura..what is the final vote?

Susie...it is no one's business! Tell 'em you started at 150! That'll shut her up.

Kat...love and hugs.

Busy busy (I sound like Michelle). After work, I have a meeting, and then driving to La Verne to pick up cap and gown!! Then a meeting at 6pm there, then 80 mile drive home! I am tired...been a long week!

Pop in later!

Go get 'em Tracy!

[Jennifur 0]

just wanted to say a quick good morning, i'm sharing a small office again, just like the beginning of the job

I can't think about no pay for a week but i'm exhausted and would just like to take a day or 2 off without running kids, without me running, not being sick... just a day or 2 to breathe... no housework... sitting on the deck soaking up the sun

i ate like crap last night, pms i'm sure... had 1/2 cup sf ice cream, 1/2 cup mashed potatoes and 3 chicken tenders... not all at the same time, from the minute i walked in the door until the minute i went to bed... and all i really wanted was some popcorn, and i didn't have any...

went to the store this am.... so that is my dinner tonight

i'll try to check back in if i'm alone... have a great day

[TerriDoodle 6]

Hi Girlz,

Gosh, I just can't express how happy I am to have Jenn and Tracy posting again.

Where is Heather?? Ohhh Heatherrrrrrr!!!

Kat your whole last post was a scream! You're hilarious.

Ok, WAY more kid drama last night. I was up 'til 2:00a again. I've talked to his dad more in the last 2 days than I have in the last 5 years combined. He's in his bed at my house now but I have no idea what the day holds. He's being totally irrational, manipulative, and is compulsively lying about everything. It's pretty damn hard to relate on any meaningful level with someone who is doing all that at once!!! I'm going to try to talk him into a "family" therapy session tomorrow with his therapist -- which he will resist mightily -- but if we can do that then we all become part of the therapeutic process and she can then legally discuss his case in detail with us. Surprisingly he IS taking his meds, so that's not even the problem! I can only imagine how bad it would be if he were not. HIS bottom line is that he just wants to be left alone, to be out on his own, but he has no money, no car, no job, etc. He is willing to live on the street to have his independence. BUT, there is this underlying manipulation going on so nothing he says is reliable.

Well, I could write a book about all of that whole drama but blech....who cares? I'm ALMOST at the point of throwing up my arms and just letting him go. I'm running out of ideas.

[TracyinKS 7]

Good morning......

YAY day ONE with no ice cream.... going for TWO.

I made some deviled egg filling for me to eat today..... also I've had a glass of Calorie Countdown and a pc of string cheese........ so far off to a good start.

Thank you Laura for the help! I printed off your directions and will be trying it out tonight.

205 today

[TracyinKS 7]

Terry: I'm at a loss for what to say...... I can't even imagine

[Suziecat 379]

Home from work, a garage sale and Wal-Mart. I need a nap now.

Terry, Hugs to you and your family. I wish I knew what else to do to make it better.

I think we are off to the pool company. Need to pick up a part that broke off. The installer tightend everything down so tight. If we get that part then we can get things going and hopefully be swimming by next weekend. Hurrah!!!!

Make it a good day. And I'm not telling anybody my weight and that's that. Until I feel comfortable telling it.

[janiebug 0]

Terry, hang in there, I can't imagine..........

I agree about Helen, she was too thin! I think giving a few pounds back and she will look good. I haven't watched American Idol yet, I like Danny the best, but really not enough to really care at this point who wins!!

WELCOME BACK TRACYKS AND JENNIFER!!!!!!

I

[HeatherO 7]

Hello Vi's,

Is it the weekend yet??? I am sooo ready.

Wednesday is my never ending day in that I leave for work at 7:30, go directly from work to class from 6:00 to 10:00 PM and drive an hour back home . . . blahhh.

Yesterday when I was taking my sister all around, she told me she had been talking to a friend of hers and the friend said that she has asked her several times about my weight. She wants to know what my starting weight was. Well, I don't think it's any of her business. I didn't tell her that though. I just never told her what it was. Only 4 people know. The WW lady, my 2 docs and me. That's it. Not even hubby knows what my top weight was. I don't know if I will ever confess that. Maybe some day I will, I'm just not ready to admit it.

Everyone have a great day.

I understand you 100% on this one. Whenever anyone asks me how much I have lost or how much I weighed in the beginning, I can't bring myself to talk about it outside of this website. For me, I guess I am just embarrassed that I ever got to that point in the first place and it is an entirely too personal question, especially when you get asked by someone who is a mere acquaintance.

[Haydee 2]

Good morning girls!

Terry - I'm so sorry you're going through all this right now. I really wish I could help but I don't know how... All I can do is keep praying for you!

TracyKS - YAY on no ice cream for two days! Why is Robbie so skinny? I love coupons too but never take the time to organize myself enough to actually use them effectively...

Tracy - do you mind telling me how much you paid for your personal training sessions? I would like to do it so that they tell me how to get the most out of my time at the gym.

i'm not done posting but my boss is calling me into his office! i'll be back...

[Teachlady 3]

Good morning, Violets.

Just back from an hour bike ride. It was soooooooo beautiful along the river and through some sub divisions with huge homes. I really love my terrratrike. It is gentle on my back, my butt and my knees. I wish I could do that ride every morning at 10 -11, but I usually have Ethan or some rehearsal or a hospital shift.

Our gas heater is fired up and warming up the pool. Hope they come with a new solar cover today. Otherwise the heat will be wasted at night when it gets down to freezing. Suzie.. hope we can be in the pool the same time you are!!

Terry.. having a bi-polar son, I know some of what you're going through. But ours didn't exhibit the behavior your son has. Each one is manifested differently and my prayers are with you and your family.

Suzie.. I would be embarrassed to ask anyone what they weighed to begin with if they had weight loss surgery, or even just lost a lot of weight on their own. That's just rude. I don't mind sharing with others how much weight I've lost, but to say what my highest weight was... nope.. not gonna do it. None of their business!

Ethan comes in a half hour and the sun just disappeared. We'll still go out in the backyard for awhile. He loves it out there with the dogs and his bike that he pushes instead of rides.. lol

Everyone have a good afternoon!

TracyK.. how was the workout??

TracyinKS and Jenn... glad to have you back!!!!! You both were missed. A~ LOT!
