Quick question... Is it okay to eat frozen yogurt on the Medifast Diet? Looking forward for any answer. Another question I got... HAPPY FREAKIN' SWAGGERIN' SATURDAY - FRIDAY SEXY SHAMROCKS!!!!. |
|
|
|
Yup, although you might wanna make sure and wait for someone else to confirm my answer as I am not very confident. Better yet, why don't you ask the Medifast guys because they can assist you better...

Good morning hookers,.
Not so much sleep last night.. Shocking, I know.. Joe just left for work.. Shocking, I know.. Imma head over to the gym at about 8:20 so I can finish up to get to a 9:15 polish change and I'll BBL.. Happy Saturday and Mad Love to All... |
|
Robyn wanted me to let ya'll know that she's still kickin'!.
She's still having internet issues at home - has been ridiculous at work - and is away for a wedding in DC this weekend.. She sends her love... |

Good morning shammies..
I am welcoming day 4 today...complete with crankypants, hungriness and a headache....by god it's working.. |
|
And caveat here - it takes me FOREVER to get into ketosis for those of you who are reading about 4-5 days so don't look at me as an example of how quick you get into ketosis most manage it in 3 days....I'm just special..

Morning! Up watching Bethenny ever after... just got baby down for first nap... taking ODD to her first birthday party for a friend from preschool.
Up til now we have just had bdays with my friends kids... She is so excited. Im feeling like cleaning today, hope that feeling lasts til I get home later! Im thinking I will work on my room... how do people keep up with laundry???? Just adding one more person has made such an increase in my laundry it's crazy! I get it all washed then it sits in baskets in my room and then I have to dig for our clothes each morning. it's so annoying.... ANYHOW!. I did an odd thing yesterday... had a great OP day, was not hungry etc. Finished my lunch then I picked up DD mac and cheese and took a couple bites before I realized what I was doing. I have been so mad at my self since, I just need to let it go, I did not give into craving or anything else... like I said it was just weird! Moving on.... So birthday party, then picking up a teenage friend of the family who is going to stay with us tonight (and watch the girls so I can clean a little. ) Then maybe have some friends over to watch a little basketball later.. Ill try and check back later <3.. |
|
You are special.
Glad you are getting back into your groove! By the By I have been making good use of your old clothes that you sent me finally.. |
|
Good morning ladies,.
Today was weigh in day and...are you ready? -25.2. I have to do the weekly thingy now that I have 6 weeks under my belt.. Sexy, Sassy with Swagger!!!!. Hope everyone has an OP day. I have a busy schedule today, so I'll check in with you ladies tonight... |
|
Old habits die hard..
Trust me on that one, sister.. Please do let it go.. Be mad at yourself for something else.. This isn't it.. If you went head first in to the pot with your mouth wide open, hmmmm, then maybe you could be mad.. But - not for this - not today.. You're doing great.. Keep up the OP GREATNESS, JillyBean... |
|
Dude....you lost 25 pounds this week?.
Just kidding....just kidding..... Mad props to you - you're kicking boo-tay.. Keep up the great work... |
|
Morning lovelies!.
Up early to take Hubbie to his conference. Need to meet him later for dinner so I drove him in. That way he didn't need to take train in super early. We took 'Ra with us and she and I did a run at a new park. TOO FUN!!!. And... Gave me time to think about the next challenge... What to you think about an accountability challenge in April. "30 days of WILL DO" ????. I'm thinking weight will be a reportable measure but not the goal. The goal for me would be 30 miles in 30 days. Others may want 30 days of 80 oz. Maybe reading the Beck Book every day... Maybe strict 5/1..... What do you think???.. |
|
Terri - you go girl. That is a big deal..
Jill - I did the same thing baking one time. I licked my finger and it tasted so sweet - and I was taken back. Now I think when I am baking. wake up call.. Lori - what is up with no sleep. You need your sleep.. I have read several articles about stress and weight loss. I guess our bodies go into a protection mode (like starvation mode??) when we are under stress or feeling anxious and they retain water and slow done metabolism. So I think it is important that we try and find some time each day to breathe and relax. It might be why they suggest journalling. For me, journalling is still work so I need other relaxation time.. I am going to the elliptical machine today. I am not sore from doing my strength, balance, stretch routine yesterday. Yeah!.. |
|
Good afternoon shams,.
Late start this morning. I slept in till after 10 (sorry Lori). I decided to skip the sleeping pill and pain pills last night since I felt pretty good when I went to bed. However, I woke up around 1:30 with my leg killing me and decided to take both pills right then. Guess that's why I slept so long. I've been trying to figure out a way to get into my hot tub but just don't think my leg will be able to swing up that high right now. I may still give it a try later tonight. Gotta go get into the shower so I'll see you guys later... |
|
I think that it's a great idea and I think that I love you for coming up with it and putting it out there. But I think I'll be in Aruba for 10 days in April and may need to pass on this one..
You're a rock star... |
|
I'm not trying to make excuses for myself - because I can't STAND it when I read excuses from people on why they didn't stay on plan or went on a binge or gained weight back, etc. But I do feel like I'm fighting a lot harder for it now. Between the funk of the last year and the stresses and losing my job and hormones and not sleeping...I'm definitely needing to work 10 times harder for the same results..
Because my stomach is REALLY big and REALLY flabby and it wasn't the case before.. But we just have to try and do the absolute best that we can do.. And we are.. And we will... |
|
For those who want to know.....
I got rid of the French, which was getting on my freakin' nerves as soon as I got it, and went with "Glove You So Much" (which now makes me think of Sand) and I'm so happy! We filed 'em down and I seriously forgot how much I LOVE LOVE LOVE this color. I haven't had it on in a really long time and...well....I'm happy.. I'm still procrastinating bills, though....so I gotz to go..... Boooo....... |
|
Would you believe I still haven't done bills?.
I did, however, make a turkey meatloaf - steam some green beans - clean the kitchen - and talk Sparky for a walk (admiring my new polish in the sunshine!).. So...here I am with a diet Pepsi and bag o' puffs....ready to do bills.. Then I'm thinking I'll get my TM on for a little while...shower...and hit up some DVR'd Jersey Shore.. You know, I'm doin' me..... |
|
Oh...look....me - by myself - again..
Now I'm eating celery.. I've been cleaning.. A friend is stopping over in a bit.. I did do my bills.. So I'm thinking a little TM and shower now.. Okay, maybe a game of online Scrabble first... |
|
Thanks. I'll be in FL for 10 days and hesitated but decided to go for it. 30 miles in 30 days... that means I need to run in FL. Oh the HORROR..
|
|
Perhaps I could get in the 30 miles by the 15th...the day before I leave..
If not, do we have a calculation for how many miles are burned every time I get up off of my lounge chair to walk a few steps to the pool to wade over to the swim-up bar?.. |
|
I've done e'thing on my list again today..
Even an extra 20 on the TM.. But I'm hungry and I can't shake it.. It's getting on my nerves... |
|
Barb - my Dad got an infection by going in the pool before he should have - please look at all notes from Doc before you go into the hot tub and make sure your incision is ready for it..
Lori - congrats on getting everything done. I think hungry is good. I think - ok that means I am losing. I have not felt hungry for awhile.. Time for L&G - more later... |
|
AFM, good day today. Starting to feel more in control. I haven't felt in control for some time now - not just about the food either so taking this step for me is helping me in other areas of my life as well..
Hit the trash-picker jackpot today....While running errand I got :. 1. 27 inch color t.v. with dvd player which works beautifully and a really girly pretty bureau for dd that someone was putting out b/c they didn't sell it at their yard sale; and. 2. The coolest gaming table ever. First part is a foozball table. You lift that up and then it turns into an air hockey table; lift up that part and it's backgammon/shuffleboard and then finally when that layer goes it's a mini pool table. LOVE IT!! My kids are going to go crazy when they see it tomorrow... |
|
Jilly - I have three girls and I do wash pretty much every other day if not every day....it's ridiculous..
And WTG to you for not shoving the whole bowl in your mouth. You realized what you did and STOPPED. That's the important part... |
|
And finally, I made the best recipe tonight!! Buffalo Chicken Burgers:.
This makes 4 burgers of which I ate 1 and 1/2:. 1 lb of ground chix - I get the butcher to grind chix breast for me. 1 tbsp of lf blue cheese dressing. A bunch of Franks' Hot sauce (watch your sodium though). 2 wedges of Blue Cheese Laughing cow cut in half. Mix everything but the Laughing cow together. Form 4 separate large meatballs. Push in 1/2 wedge of LC cheese in the middle - then smoosh meatball into a burger. Grill.. These were fantastic! If you are tracking your food I counted this as 6 oz of leaner protein as 1 healthy fat... |

Good day chicas! I know I am late getting here. I have developed the cold fully now and tried to pretend like it didn't exist. I went with the book club girls, drank off plan beverages, but ate on-plan food. We went for pedi's together and now I'm on the couch with hubby in front of basketball and a warm fire. I have taken so many cold medicines that I am truly a cocktail in myself and the burning sensation in my sinuses must be burning away calories. Or at least that is what I'm telling myself..
I really thought that peanut butter might be my trigger food but instead I must tell you that I now know my true weakness is margaritas mixed with my girlfriends.. Here's a piece of honesty. I'm kind of a funny gal. My friends think so at least. It's kind of like, add three girls and Muffy, shake well, and someone is giggling. Well, now imagine it with a little tequilla. My lack of inhibition in everyday life begins to buzz a bit more and well, I like margaritas and so do my gals. Well you can't waste all that on a day without a beverage, a memory, and some laughs. Mix that with today's cold meds, well baby, I'm surprised I can type.. If that keeps me fatter for a week each month, so be it. I'm in no hurry and life has to be worth it. I'll leave all the food behind. Just leave me the margaritas on the 5-1.. Not trying to drag anyone off plan. Just explaining why my plan includes my once a month party... |
|
I have cold drugs. I will share. you can be a human cocktail with me...
|
|
Let it go. The subconcious is a weird thing, and you need to move on. You got this girlfriend, you got it...
|
|
April is scary for me. Why? Because I have a huge number of work meetings at night that month, and both boys are in track so I have to go to all the junior high and high school track meets.... all with concession stands full of nachos and bratwursts. I could stand to be accountable...
|
|
Angela - thanks for the posts and the recipe. Sounds great..
We went shopping today. Dillards is having their bring in a handbag for charity and get $... off your purchase. I love Brahmin and bought a purse and wallet. She gave me the discount on both items. I do not see this brand on sale so I was happy.. Tomorrow I am in a three day tournament. It is call eth Red Boot. It is named after a girl named Red. She received a pair of red boots as a child and as she grew she was know for taming men and horses. Red is at a circus this year so all the decorations and contest and entertainment will be around a circus. It is three days for girlfriend time, golf, free open bar,..... Last year I won a raffle for a week in a condo in the mountains in Colorado and two rounds of golf for four people as very exclusive golf courses. I feel like a girl just before Christmas. It is so much fun and the weather looks like it is going to cooperate... |
|
April - ???? I have two of these golf tournaments and then I am driving my Mom from her Az. home to her Mn. home. I will be oK on the road except for my water and exercise. So I am thinking about what is the best 30 day challenge for me. It might be exercise related...
|
|
Oh girl, you just found my weakness. It there was a pagent for garage sale queen, you know I would be crowned and have a sash...
|
|
This is from our practice round last Wed. Does this look like a winning team to you? Say yes so I get a bunch of money in the pro shop to buy new golf clothes...
|
|
Sounds like a woman I would like to meet. I figure if you're a woman and you're not trying to pull all the oxygen from the room when you enter it, you're not trying hard enough..
I love that you feel this way. What a great way to explain it. So much fun... |
|
Joe's still working..
I'm going to try and sleep.. Try.. I hope so.. Have a good night e'one... |
|
Lori- Hope you get a good night's sleep..
I won't be around much the next three days. Hope everyone has a great OP time... |
|
Hi guys - would love to join your group..
Married working mom of a soon to be 3 year old daughter. I live in berkeley, ca and it's day 11 for me. So far so good - any tips always appreciated.. Thanks!. - teri.. |
|
Good morning Shams..
Sand - Where you going?. Terri - We'd love to have you. Welcome. You're doing great so far!.. |
|
Good morning shams and WELCOME TERI!.
AFM, not much planned today. Going to try and find something to do so I'm not home thinking about eating, lol... |
|
Morning lovelies!.
Headed to work. Check back tomorrow.. Have a great day!.. |
|
Morning Shams,.
Welcome to our group Teri. We're a fun bunch of gals going thru all phases of weight loss or transition. Ang, sounds like you got some really good "finds" out there. Bet your kids will really be excited - WTG. Sandy, this outing sounds like so much funenjoy yourself and hope you win something big. Muffy, loved all your shout outs last night and your fun time with your friends and the margaritas. Sometimes I miss working just because my friends and I use to do that quite often too (dancing, drinking, etc.). However, I gotta say I love retirement toolol. Just wish I was richer and hubby was healthier. Oh well, I still thank God for the blessings he's given me. Washing and changing sheets on beds which is always fun (NOT) and that's about it for today. For follow-up on my knee and then it's off to visit the kids. I can't wait. It seems forever since I've seen the boys. Hope everyone enjoys their day... |
|
Lori, don't know if I mentioned this before but almost every day now when I go to MSN to either read my hotmail or the days news, the ad for "Borgata" pops up. Just showing me the hotel brings back great memories and really makes me want to be there. Why that ad keeps reoccurring is beyond me but maybe it's trying to tell me something...
|
|
My "to do" list for today....
Hit the store to get stuff to make a salad. Go to the cemetery to let Lorraine know that 365 days really hasn't made it any easier. Touch up my hair color. Walk on the TM. I have some sinus/allergy/cold thing going on.... Oh - I SLEPT LAST NIGHT!!!!. I woke up a couple of times, but went back to sleep.. I got up after 6:00 to let the dog out and feed him and I was just about to hit the 'brew' button on the coffee pot and said - 'nope'.. I came back up and crawled back in to the bed and didn't get out of it until 8:20ish.. I have not gotten out of bed poast 7:00 a.m. IN YEARS!!!!!. Okay - thatz all I gotz... |
|
Hi guys - happy sunday..
Thanks for all the nice welcomes. made me feel right at home.. Today taking the kid to a "messy art day" - no idea but sounds fun in just a few minutes and then the dog to the dog park.. Im an SPCA kind of girl but for the first time in my life bought a dog - labradoodle - b/c our house is so tiny and wanted a non shedding dog. The one I picked out had more of a lab coat than poodle (straight versus curly) and though he's adorable and a good dog - he of course sheds. LOL. I just can't believe I spent the money on a shedding dog but he's WONDERFUL with our kid (almost 3) so I need to just count my blessings.. Have a great on plan day everyone.. Xo. - teri.. |
|
Welcome Teri,.

|
Well, between lots of games of Texas Hold Em and a few puzzle games, I better get my azz off the computer and get some more stuff done around here. I did wash and change sheets on both beds so that's somethinglol. Have a good day everyone...

|
AFM: been an emotional rollar coaster weekend. Had my cousin's son's bar mitvah on saturday 3 hours away from home. BF slept over on friday since we had to leave my house at 6 am. kids act different with him around and it's really uncomfortable. I was cranky towards him and couldnt stop thinking about our relationship. Bar mitzvah service was 3 hours long and I'm not exxagerating.
Lots of food not for me, same with drink. got seated at misc family table with people twice my age. my aunt (who is a biotch) gave me a dirty look while saying how good I looked (fake biotch). BF was great and sweet, and now I feel like a heel thinking bad thoughts about him.. Why did I subject myself to all this.... my dad. he wanted me there and since he is the best, I went.. Sorry for the long story... still wish boyfriend could disappear and someone else could talk to him for me..... |
|
Visit with Lorraine - Check.
Hair color touched up - Check. Groceries for salad - Check. 450 calories on TM - Check.. |
|
Andrea, sorry it was such a long day but happy that you made your Dad happy. Again I would say to just take it slow with your BF. Can you talk to him about your feelings? Maybe he's been holding back to. We'll be here for you no matter what you decide. Glad you got your checklist going, Lori...
|
|
Hi girls.
Got the computer working at home finally...it was the router.... Just got back from our weekend in DC...it was more fun than I thought it would be...gotta get my shiz together cuz Mexico is 4 weeks from tommorrow!!!. Gots some laundry and other not-fun stuff to catch up on. Hope everyone is great!!!!!. Xoxoxoxo.. |
|
Hi all. Another on plan day down. I forgot how good you feel after you stop feeling crappy...
|
|
I'm stuffed full of turkey meatloaf and salad and asparagus..
I feel like I weigh just as much as I did last week.. Le Sigh... |
|
Hey guys...I am stopping by to say hi and bye...leaving for our "Florida vaca" tomorrow! So excited to get away from reality for awhile..
I wanted to say thanks for all the good thoughts you guys shared with me last week when I was really struggling with the loss of my friend's daughter. You guys are here for me for so many things...you have been a great support system for me...and I appreciate that more than words can say.. In saying that I feel I need to also bring something that hasn't been "sitting right" with me all day. I got on here this morning before I went and ran my errands. I am glad to see many people posting and stopping in. But I think we need to remember the main purpose of this thread ( I am hoping I do not offend anyone by saying this, and maybe I am not the "right" person to say it-since I am not around all the time, but I feel I need to say it.). We need to support each other in staying ON PLAN.. We need to give each other kicks in the azz when we go off plan and help that person get right back on (like Jill and Andi just did.) That is success-you learned something from your mistake.. We can not let people who are new to the program (and might be reading this thread) think that they can have off plan foods, or drinks and still think they are doing Medifast and will lose weight. Because typically it won't happen...off plan drinks and foods on a continuous or regular basis will cause someone to go out of ketosis and that will cause them to not lose the weight that the program talks about.. I am not saying it isn't okay to have slip-ups...probably all of us have...but we can't talk about how we are going to go off plan every week, or every month.. If I am wrong or have offended anyone I apologize....I have just been thinking about it all day and feel we need to help each other get to goal ASAP...let's get it done shammies... |
|
Hello Ladies,.
Another OP day! Thanks all for the love. I have had a busy day and I'm now getting ready to go back to work in the morning. (sigh). I did a quick read through and S/O's to all.. I hope everyone has an OP week. I will try to check in as often as I can. Back to the grind!. Lets all have a successful week!. Welcome to the new Teri... |
|
Morning hookers!.
Sorry MIA this weekend. Didn't have a good one and didn't want to bring anyone downBut have been reading the thread this morning for inspiration and have decided to have a rockin week. Gonna 5-1 this week to get a few lbs off. Thanks for being here girls- now please keep me accountable this week... |
|
Dawn.
- You're awesome. Thanks for that. Have a great time in FL. We'll miss you... |
|
It's been so long since I've done an official weigh-in, I forgot that I should really poop first..
The moral of that TMI story?. Maybe I'm really 139!.. |
|
Morning lovelies!.
Rushing this AM in my haze - maybe I'm not the morning person I thought I could be... just really tired lately. NEED to get more exercise - that will help. tonight. I will. remind me to get up on it plz.. Later lovelies!.. |
|
You are my exercise Guru and I know you can and you will..
I will remind you on the thread - in a PM - on Facebook - in email - via text.. Is that enough stalking?. I mean, um, reminding?. Love you madly... |
|
Good morning all....
Dawn.. think you may have already left, but if not, hope you have a great vacation. great post about staying focused on OP.. Im sorry, to everyone, if I have been blabbering on about realitionship troubles. Dont want to be a wet blanket or bring others down. truth be told, I really only have one girlfriend and I cant talk to mom about stuff cause she worries enough. I'll keep it to a minimum and focus on Medifast and OP.. Lori... never underestimate the power of a good poop. a poop comment reminds me.... Hey Robyn... glad you had a great weekend!. Hi Terri... great to see you here.. Lara.. sorry your weekend was rough. be happy to keep you accountable this week. consider yourself stalked! feel free to stalk back.. Andi... hope you start feeling awake a bit later. you are so right about the excericise and energy piece. I missed a day of working out and I can feel the difference. you can do it. just get right back on that horse... |
|
Hey ang... loved your crazy morning comment... my house is nuts most of the time too!..
|
|
Morning shams,.
Up early and getting ready to head out soon for doc appt. and then to see the kids. I'm so excited to see the boysit's been awhile. Hope they can stay away from my knee though. I'm hoping I can also start making better choices on the weight loss. I've been getting some exercise thru my bike riding, etc. Have a good week everyone. Ang, I think it should be "ranchero angelero" - kinda has a nice ring to itlol. Hope things settle down a little for ya... |
|
Good Morning. Up to do... paperwork UGH. I have a crazy day of running. Things would be better today if I had worked yesterday, but instead I took DD roller skating.
It was SOOO cute. She is 4 (almost 5... tear.) she just looked so tiny out there!. Im watching Ruby... I really liked the show when she was losing consistently, now that she is struggling the show annoys me.. ANDI~ I LOVE the 30 day challenge! Lets do it!!! Mine would def be certain # of miles in 30 days... Im supposed to walk an 8k with a coworker at the end of the month.. |
|
Teri.
- How was 'messy art day'? How's 5/1 treating you?. Barb. - Don't 'hope' - just 'do'.. Andrea. - I'm sorry about your weekend and don't worry about venting about the BF stuff. We've talked about it via PM and I'll talk to you about it 100 times a day if it will help. My only repayment for psychotherapy fees is that you are taking care of YOU and getting the weight OFF. Much love.. Muffy. - Hope to see you back soon.. Terri. - Don't work too hard and keep up the great work. You're killing it sister.. Lara. - I'm sorry about your weekend. Of course you had a PM from me as soon as I knew it was happening - and you have another one from me now. I really want you to get through this, Lara. You've worked way too hard not to do it right.. As I've said many times before - I've been around here a LONG time and I see people lose a buttload of weight (I hate to say it's the "easy" part - but sometimes I really believe that it is) only to dickaround in T & M and gain it back. Sometimes a little, sometimes all of it. Get your head around this, girl...I know you can.. Angela. - Hope you have a happy Monday.. Robyn. - So excited for you about MEXICO!!!! (So sad you're not going to Aruba with us!). AFM - I'm not sure what's on the agenda for today - but I need one.. So far I'm thinking an oil change and car wash.. And, of course, the gym.. That's it so far.. Mad love to all... |
|
JillyBean.
- We were posting at the same time. Good to see you and glad you're all about Andi's challenge. I've been catching some episodes of Ruby, too. I'd never seen it before - so I didn't watch when she was consistently losing. I am, however, fascinated by her journey and getting underneath the surface of why her weight got to be so high in the first place. I guess I believe that - even if you take off 300 pounds - if you can't really figure out why you got to that weight in the first place and don't put the effort in to changing it emotionally/mentally/whatever - that, chances are, it may not stay off.. Have a happy Monday... |
|
Aaahh Lori. Your posts make me breathe a sigh of relief. thanks for the support and I'll be counting on the 100 posts a day....
Hey Jill and Lori... if you sorta like Ruby have you watched Heavy? it's on mondays 10 PM but not sure what channel. they also show repeats all day. amazing, inspirational stories about serious weight loss/issues.. Barb... enjoy those boys! you can do this with us. I'm behind you 100%.. Jilll... your ODD sounds adorable. we need some pics!. Ok.. so here is a living, breathing example of what will happen when you get older and dont take care of yourself. BF is in the hospital AGAIN !!!! wound on his food is infected. Im gonna blog about it. I know it's not Medifast related, but it's about denial of health issues , which I know I have been guilty of too. I'm not judging others, just hoping it's a wake up call to some... |
|
Andrea.
- I tried watching "Heavy" and just didn't love it. I'm sorry about your BF. I know it's not easy for you. If you need to talk, I'm only a PM away... |
|
So, I decided this morning that I'm going to book the helicopter tour for when I'm in Aruba. I'm going to do this on my birthday. Something I've always wanted to do - but just never did. I will book it in advance so I'm certain to do it..
This is something I will surely be doing solo, as Joe will NEVER get in a helicopter. I'm lucky I can get him on a plane.. Also, we are going to do a 5-hour island tour. For all of the times we've been there, we've never really toured the island. This will bring us to see a lot of things we've never seen and the guides will teach us so much about the history and people and development and the tour ends at "Baby Beach" - which I've always wanted to at least see.. Joe also mentioned wanting to do a tour of the Aloe Factory. I'm fine with that, too. I love me some Aloe.. Oh - and did I tell ya'll around Christmas that Joe's gift to me was the diamond necklace I saw in Aruba last year when I was with Karen but did not get because of the price? I've been wanting a diamond cross for quite some time now. Aruba is full of jewelry. I saw one the day before we were leaving and it was perfection to me. I just hadn't intended on spending that much and didn't want to make a snap decision, so I let her go. When I came home I kept looking at diamond necklaces and nothing could compare to the one in Aruba. So...when we get there...we can go in to town and pick it up and I'm SUPER excited about it.. I'm also thinking that if I wasn't exercising like a freakin' lunatic that my loss would have been more.. Very random today, I know.. Here is a VERY bad picture of the necklace. It's way more stunning in person. I think this picture almost makes it look like yellow gold - it's not - it's white gold. The quality of the diamonds is also very good. One of the reasons I love it so much is because of the round stones and baguettes. That's the way my wedding band is - so - they kind of go nicely together... |

Hey lori.. that cross is beautiful. you will have an amazing time. I love how you have stuff planned and you are ready to go. Joe sounds like a sweetheart. thanks for the support about BF.
AWESOME! Ever tell you I went skydiving once.... it was amazing. next year, on my grand canyon trip, I plan on doing a helicopter ride too!.. |
|
Just the thought of skydiving is enough to give me a heart attack..
Joe's a great guy and he's very good to me.. So...despite the fact that my g'friend said that she would hang with me for oil change and car wash and we'd do lunch afterwards, I'm still sitting on my lazy asssss procrastinating going to the gym.. Um...I gotz to go... |
|
Go to the gym, Lori..
My plan after work, with ds, was to go to the gym and then go grocery shopping. BF is in the hospital, but I'm not giiving up my gym time and time with ds. I'll go see him on wednesday when I have more free time.. I choose me!.. |

Good girl Andrea..
I went to the gym and the drycleaner and am now showering, throwing on sweats, and going for oil change, car wash, and lunch.. Before I do - I want to say this:. If anyone took Dawn's post last night 'personally' - I can assure you it was not meant to be that way.. I reached out to her as I was frustrated with things overall.. It is not just one person - it is a combination of things and events and people on this team and I needed to vent.. I sincerely believe that Dawn was just trying to take some of the weight off of my shoulders, as she has every right to do, as she has lost a shitload of weight and kept it off.. No one is trying to be a self-righteous-***** here.. I struggle - Dawn has struggled - Andi has struggled.. But there's been a lot of eating and drinking and weight gain and tickers disappearing and that's not what this is about.. This is about getting through this freakin' process and supporting each other to goal and beyond.. Any questions or comments - ask away - send me a PM - whatever it takes.. All I (we) really want, at the end of the day, is to see you all get it done and be happy... |

Hi. I'm back. Not sure that this is the right group for me. Seems like there is always a bunch of stuff going on below the surface and I can't seem to break in. Or maybe it just takes time?.
Probably getting a little too bent out of shape for no reason, but I was kind of sad to come back to no messages or mypage stuff. I don't know, I just don't feel very connected within the group. But I'm also dieting, so maybe I'm just whacked? I dunno..... |
|
Also, was really NOT intending to start any drama with that. Just letting everyone know what is up with me...

Hi kate... I think it does take time to get in a groove with a group. I'd say give us a chance, but only if it fits for you. regardless of what you decide, I'm happy your back !..

Hi from work.
To add my two cents quickly..... I think that some of us look for any excuse to cling to when we want to cheat and what Dawn and the Captn' were going for was more of a be careful how you express yourself, especially, be mindful of those that are really struggling.. Sometime we don't realize how are words can impact others... |

Hi Kate,.
Sorry if we didn't make you feel welcomewe love having new people join our merry little group. We're all here to support one another so feel free to jump right in. I had a great day with the boysthey're so darn cute. I walked really well and hardly needed the cane. Doctor was super impressed with me. Even got a few groceries bought. Your tour trip sounds great too. I was in a helicopter in the Smokies and was supposed to go on a trip when in Hawaii but weather turned ugly. I have done the para- gliding with a boat pulling you when I was in Jamaica and it was the most exciting and wonderful feeling ever. Another reason to get this weight off me so I can do that again... |

Andrea, forgot to say sorry about boyfriend. You did mean his "FOOT" was infected instead of "food", rightlol!! Just checking that you didn't poison him or something. Hope he does well and gets home soon...
