Hey all! I'm having such a hard time keeping up with this thread!

It is hard but worth it.:goodvibes :surfweb:

[pigget74]

I hope that you get a clear view! What is the string and the ring?

You put your wedding band on a piece of string--either olace in front of your belly or on the inside of your wrist. If it goes sise to side it is a boy. If it makes a circle it is supposed to be a girl.

[daisy_77]

Good morning Peeps! :sunny:
I just LOVE seeing everyone in their wedding photos! :love: You all look wonderful! What a great idea to post the pictures! :grouphug: It's so interesting to see the different styles from each decade! LOL! I'm the 80's! Someday we want to do a vow renewal - hopefully in WDW! - and I want to be skinny so I can wear a sexy dress this time! I was only a few sizes smaller than I am now in these pictures...

I love the pics of your DH with all that hair!!! lol

Ugh..weigh in tomorrow. I only had two cupcakes at the b-day party tonight. Plus the two last night. Here is my food for the day. It is actually helping to post what I eat.

B-1c. Grape Nuts cereal, 1/2c skim milk, 2 tbsp. honey, 1 cup light OJ
L-garden salad with 1000 island dressing, 1c. chicken noodle soup, 2 small pieces of garlic bread, diet coke
D-1 1/2 pieces of roast, pasta noodles, peas, 1 roll and 1c. skim milk
S-TWO choc. cupcakes!! :scared1:

[winkers]

Guess what my boys just discovered???? 7 kittens in our back yard!!!!!:scared1: :scared1: So now I guess we get to take them to the shelter. If it was 1 or 2 it wouldn't be so bad, but 7!!!!!!! I'm hoping there's still a mom around because they're too young to be on they're own. They are so cute I had to hold and cuddle one, but I'm allergic and so now I'm itching like crazy. Anyone want a cat?????????

[dance2874]

I read on another message board that a CM is reported to have said that there will be a Sept. free dining bounce back program offered THIS September! Has anyone else heard that?

I heard that on a TGM board too, not sure who posted it first but I would love it if that were true. of course, that means I ahve to ahve an extra $200 for the deposit when we go in Sept though!

OK anyone else here see Marsha Brady??? Now is it me or is she really 150 lbs??? If she really is then I am in bigger trouble than I thunk!
Ok, I have to say that is what HER 150 looks like. Everyone carries their weight in different places, she seems to be all belly and booty from what I saw. But on somebody else, a toned 150 may look totally different, know what I mean?

So far a decent day food wise. i am still under my calories and need something sweet...so I may have to indulge. Just making it a smart choice if I can. Weigh in tomorrow morning. I am curious to see if all my calorie counting has helped this week at all.

Anyone know if sore muscles weigh more than regular ones? I am SO SORE from yesterdays pilates class. It is embarassing actually.

[eeyore45]

Snady did you get your mail????

WooHOOOOooooTY 13,000

UMA did you have any idea when you started this thread, and dragged me over (kicking and screaming) :rotfl2: that it would get to 13,000? And to top it off even more - look at how many views the thread gets!!

Fidge I did get a beautiful Easter card and a movin cd!! How are you liken the WDW music???

[dance2874]

Before I get too wrapped up in thurs tv to post, here are my totals for the day:

Breakfast-frozen good for you type waffle, lite syrup
Lunch-wendys mandarin chicken salad
Dinner-'food in a bag' as we call it, this one was a hamburger helper variety, with lots of steamed broccoli.
snacks/dessert-ff sf chocolate pudding with a few m&m's on it (all counted!) and a 100 calorie hersheys snackster thingy earlier this afternoon.

(can you tell I cant get through a day without my chocolate fix???)
Todays total:1650, under my max by a few calories, so still OK. Only exercise today was my dance class this morning, which I took it very easy because of my sore legs.

Have a good night peeps!

[Eventer98]

What does this mean??? :confused3

[dismom9761]

Everyone's totals sound so good.:thumbsup2 Good luck with weigh in tomorrow.:goodvibes I expect a gain but I haven't exactly gotten back on the wagon yet.I haven't stopped following the tracks though.;)

I posted my frustration with my DS9 earlier.He came in and apologized and cleaned his room with no more problems.I don' think I will ever figure him out.

Dance,I have to have my chocolate too!!

[dismom9761]

What does this mean??? :confused3

I would like to know too.:confused3

[Eventer98]

I would like to know too.:confused3

I think it might mean you can book next year's free dining now? I know I won't be able to go next year unless I go in Aug. I feel bad enough taking the 2 days off for this trip since I only get school holidays off.

[dismom9761]

I would love one but my DH hates cats and we aren't supposed to have animals in the house because of DS9's asthma.


My DD3 just informed me I would be pretty if I would wear a dress,flip flops and put on sparkly lipstick.:goodvibes

I have no idea if I was even right on that..where's dance when you need her?

[dismom9761]

Total weight to lose from starting point: 33
Progress so far: 5.5
Method: eat less and move more, but on my way to strict calorie monitoring, cuz I need to see some results here!
Exercise: elliptical, TM, kickboxing, yoga, weight training, riding bike
Best tip:[/QUOTE] even when I dont feel like working out I make myself do 20 min, then I can stop, but usually I keep on going for 45-60 min

http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q210/harleygirl1222/DSC01068.jpg


I don't know if I am doing this without hurting her self esteem so I don't know the answer(did that even make sense??)In the last year when she was teased we had told her that her weight was fine and that God makes people in different sizes.Well after her appt. with the DR. she later asked if he said her weight was still good.I had a talk with her and told her that the Dr. said we needed to be careful with her nutrition and we talked about what an unhealthy weight can do to your heart etc.She didn't seem upset at all and has been doing great with her choices this week.I would imagine that it is easier with an eight year old than an eleven year old though.She did ask this morning if she can weigh on Friday and be a PEEP.I told her she would only weigh at the Dr. office that this is NOT about what she weighs but about being healthy.

I understand about being the food police.Frankly it sucks!Between Dd8 and DS9(trying to limit sugar,red dye,and caffeine) I am always the bad guy.Mostly I don't have junk in the house and do my best when we are gone.

Dis you are doing a great job


Can no longer DIS at school... so, I'm a bit behind.



Jay is my fantasy boyfriend.mine too !:cool2: .. reality is something totally different. He's my friend and that's probably all it will ever amount to (except in my dreams :cloud9: ). I also think Jay got my hint about "not yet" (as in, I'm waiting for someone special) 'cuz he hasn't joked about it in a couple of days.


Thank you!



I know I gotta get some pix! My description does not do him justice!



I know... I never want to let a man (or anyone) "define" me again... change me from who I am to who they want me to be. Good for you chickie

Picture... I know, I need to work on it some more... "Now, Jay?" "How about now?" "Picture time yet?" Darn, wish someone would have a party... people tend to take pictures at parties, not when you're "hanging out".

How about start a scrapbook of sorts for you to keep to chart your progress thru this journey and include the faces (and bodies:rolleyes1 ) of those who are on this journey with you


Sorry, no current pic...

Birthday: 3/2/64
Location: Granbury, TX (30 miles SW of Fort Worth)
Occupation: Science Teacher (currently 9th grade biology)
Personal: Widow for 15 years, DD19 is in college, starting to actually have a personal life now
Total weight to lose from starting point: uhhh, dunno 'cuz I haven' picked a goal weight yet... probably between 170-200 lbs total to lose (putting me between 130-160)
Progress so far: 77 lbs
Method: lots of exercise, lots of healthy food, lots of water, lots of support (both imaginary and new friends)
Exercise: everyday! yoga, step/cardio, elliptical, treadmill, free weights, machine weights, exercise ball, walking in the park, etc.
Best tip: Hard work breeds success... success breeds desire... desire breeds more hard work... an UPward spiral... (and... find a hunky trainer dude)



Yesterday, I FINALLY got Jay to go to Yoga with me (Christy was there, too). Somebody "passed gas" during class and Jay keeps laughing and talking about it! He's convinced it was Christy... I thought it was the instructor. They were both in the right area for where the "sound" came from.

We were at the gym doing an ab exercise called the Dead Bug and my friend pooted and said oops must be a stink bug....i couldn't quit laughing :lmao: I can no longer read DIS at school (it is now blocked)... and tomorrow I'll be packing and doing a double workout at the gym. (Packing to go to San Antonio with Christy... leaving right after school Friday. Double workout to make up for not being "allowed" to do nuttin' tonight... had sclerotherapy... 6 shots in my left leg, 25 in my right) ANYWAY, please count my 5 lbs in this Friday's total.

Taht suks!!
Love, ya'll... I'll try to get some pix (of my anyway) on my trip!

[punkin413]

OK anyone else here see Marsha Brady??? Now is it me or is she really 150 lbs??? If she really is then I am in bigger trouble than I thunk!


i think she's heavier than 150. she's my height (5'3") and i weighed 158 when i started my diet and i honestly think she's bigger than i was. and i'm not just saying that to make myself look good - you guys are my peeps and you are some of the only people on the face of the earth that know how much i weigh and what size i wear! anyway, i don't want to be mean, but she looks bigger than 150.

here's a pic of me right before i started my diet and i weighed around 158 here. you be the judge! i'm the one on the far right. not a very good pic of me, but it shows my body.

I am a diet food taste tester.

First is the Diet COKE Plus (yes, I did.) ((shhhhhh!!!!))

It's enhanced with vitamins and minerals and is in a pretty bottle.

It's ok (for Coke) and has a vitaminy or weird after-taste. Hmmm. But it IS pretty. It's better on ice.

My browser shut down earlier so I lost most of my quotes and didn't want to go all the way back!

I enjoyed seeing all of today's pics and bios. Mlil - Pretty 80s gown :bride: I forgot to mention yesterday how great your photo quilts are. Anyone who didn't check them out, they are a fantastic gift idea. I'm definitely keeping it in mind.

Sandy, did you see how similar Grammy's wedding gown was to ours over on the OM thread?

AnnNan - I'm curious to know where your pic was taken. What a beautiful background!

Too funny Melinda, DH was over my shoulder when I was looking at the pics and he asked hey did that girl plan to have Goofy and Mickey with her girls like her wedding photo??/ I said wow you are getting so wierd noticing things and on the DIS site no less!!! DH has no found a new repsect for this site as it is the great source of help in my battle against the bugle and learning the importance of ADRS!!!

DH loves the ADRS!!!! lol
I thought the same thing!!!

13,000TH POST WOOO HOOOOOTY, FIDGE!!!!!!!!!!

[aries1980]

Night Peeps!

[winkers]

I'm begining to think that all the extra fiber I eat is starting to hurt me socially! No one is ever around when I'm here! Utahhygenemama, could you send me some of your Jean Nate'? I swear I can clear out a thread faster than anyone else.

Harley, How did you get that picture of Me?????:rotfl: :rotfl:

[AnnNan]

AnnNan - I'm curious to know where your pic was taken. What a beautiful background!

I was fortunate enough to get to go to Rome and Monaco and the French Riviera in March. That picture is along the coast highway near Monaco. I have two pics of me (out of like 900) from the trip (and this is the only one I like). The twenty pounds I've lost is far from being enough, BUT it has made a difference in my face and I'm liking pictures better.

I've enjoyed getting to see everyone else's pictures so I knew I had to share too, but I had to figure out how to do it! Always something new to learn....

Dene', have fun on your trip!

[winkers]

Anyone know if sore muscles weigh more than regular ones? I am SO SORE from yesterdays pilates class. It is embarassing actually.

Drink lots of water, because I'm pretty sure sore muscles retain water.

Thanks she is sweet and sometimes scary smart.She is in the bed singing herself to sleep.Other kids are counting sheep...she is singing"We will,we will ROCK you...mud on your face,big disgrace,kickin' your can all over the place..."

Good taste! Rock on, sweetie baby.

I am so beat we had Open House in kindergarten tonight. One mom made a snarky comment, but guess what? It's April 26, and it's the first time I've seen this woman. Can you imagine not meeting your child's kinder teacher until April 26? So :snooty: hmph to her.

Harley- I dreamed I bought a Harley last night. You must be having an effect on me.

I'm afraid to weigh in tomorrow. I've been super diligent in counting calories this week. Around 1550 everyday, three of those days I burned between 300-500 calories with working out, but i got on the scales this morning and was up 2 lbs. Help me here. 140 lbs x 12 calories =1680 right? So within 150 calories should mean a little weight loss, right? WTH?

Love that the questionnaires and pics keep coming in. You ladies (and one South Park guy) are fabulous.

[spongemommie05]

my weight loss is 3 pds (LIM):confused3 .

[mousehouselover]

I have just a min to check in. I'm the same this week....... I'm less than 1/2lb from my goal of 5# this month. I guess I'd better make the next 4 days count.

Have a skinnie day!!!!!

[lexmelinda]

HAPPY WEIGH-IN DAY! :sunny:

Good luck everybody! Don't eat breakfast yet! Go big potty, clip your toenails, trim your bangs, pluck your eyebrows and when your finished......weigh yourself DRY & NEKKID for best results. Post your loss/gain/same at the TOP OF YOUR POST IN BIG RED LETTERS.

HARLEY!!! Loved your pictures! The family photo is beautiful!!! Your husband looks so tough but I bet he's a real softie. ;)
he asked hey did that girl plan to have Goofy and Mickey with her girls like her wedding photo??/
I thought the same thing!!!Good eye, girls! We assaulted and posed with every character in the park on that 2000 trip so I just picked out the goofy and minnie pics to scan for my trip report because they "went with" the wedding pic.
I'm begining to think that all the extra fiber I eat is starting to hurt me socially! This is for you, Winkers!

I was fortunate enough to get to go to Rome and Monaco and the French Riviera in March. Nancy...My DD17 is going to Europe in June. Tour begins with 2 days in Paris, then Madrid, Barcelona, Avignon, Riviera, Florence, Nice, Rome. Oh....I was 26 and DH was 27 when we married. I wish I still looked that young!
Guess what my boys just discovered???? 7 kittens in our back yard!!!!!:scared1: :scared1: I'd take them if I could. I found our cat at Target. She was in the parking lot all alone, weighed less than a pound and was anemic from all the fleas. She's now sweet, healthy and 5 years old. I fear I am destined to be a cat lady like my mom. :sad2:
(can you tell I cant get through a day without my chocolate fix???)Jen....I keep real chocolate here....Dove Dark. Only 42 calories each and like buttah. Try them!
What does this mean??? :confused3
It means if you go ahead and book another trip for next year while your on your September trip this year, they'll give you free dining. Free dining is not guaranteed for the general public next year. Also the dates might be more open so possibly you could book August!

HAVE A GREAT DAY, EVERYONE! TGIF! :flower3:

[Eventer98]

Stayed the same

I'll take it (while kicking myself) since I went out to eat twice, even though I ate as responsibly as I could! I actually thought I lost a pd. until I went to update my ticker and saw that last week's weight was the same as today. *#$@*@#!!!!!!! I wonder how much 10in. of hair weighs?? Not much I bet...it sure woud be nice if it made a difference when I chop it tomorrow~~

Have a great Friday..the weeks are flying by!!! :flower3: to everyone on weigh-in day!!!

[pixie dust 112]

I stayed the same!

[harleygirl]

2 lbs gone forever!!!!

[belle8306]

I lost 4lbs!! I get a new ribbon today!!:cheer2:

[UtahMama]

I lost my minimum 1 pound!!!

oK. I've lost 8 of the 15 regained. :banana: Remember the fated yet FUN regain of 15 pounds from Disneyland where I went hog wild (pun intended)? It's more than halfway re-lost! Yippee! I'm just worried to death about going again in less than 2 wks. I specifically remember giving myself permission to eat what I wanted. Oh YA! As Dr. Phil would say, "How'd that work for ya?"

THIS time I do NOT grant permission at ALL to eat what I want.

No corn dogs (the best meal there! next to Blue Bayou). No Tigger Tails, no funnel cakes, no caramel apples, NO DOLE WHIPS. NOTHING like that! :sad1:

I yam on a quest to not gain weight at Disneyland!!!!

[the Fidge]

gained 6

For all you number people out there--I was sent this in a e-mail yesterday and I thought it was neat.

I would just like to inform everyone that at three minutes, four

will
> be: 02:03:04 05/06/07.

> This won't happen again until 3007, a thousand years from now!

I wish I had time to sit and think about these things because I really like numbers, but I would have never thought of this one.

I have not had time to read all post since yesterday afternoon--maybe I will get to catch up later.

Hope that everyone has a BLESSED DAY!!!!

[MJMouse]

-1 from first post on tuesday for a total of -11 in 2 1/2 weeks!!!!!

I've loved reading all of the bios and seeing your be-u-ti-ful pics! What a great intro to the board. I will eventually have a pic to post, but I'm not much of a picture taker/saver, so don't have any right now.

[UtahMama]

Yay!!!! tHAT'S GREAT mJ mOUSE!!!!!!!

From a fellow "number person": I love stuff like that! I'm a big math dork and nothing makes me happier than a good number puzzle or cool fact. Too bad I will never be awake to see it!

[dance2874]

What does this mean??? :confused3

Sorry for not being here for you! DD was very high persickety last night. Anyways, last year in Nov or Dec they gave people a discount for booking a fall 07 trip- they had to book for late Aug or most of Sept. They had to book it while at DW, and had to pay the deposit before they checked out. They didnt call it free diding, but the discount is exaclty what free dining saves you and they had to include dining to their res. I believe. There is 'talk' that they may offer thisi offer to us lucky peopel there during FD this year instead of when they offered it last year, and possibly not offer it to the general public next year. (although that was speculated for this year and we all know how that turned out)

So, on to more exciting news, for me anyways....I lost 2 pounds!!!! I am very close to some new bling!! I seriously cant say enough how this thread has motivated me. I would have quit long ago if it wasnt for you guys :goodvibes

i am a SAMER this week. at first i was completely baffled by this because i worked out like a mad woman trying to make up for the two weeks of my trial that i didn't get to work out like normal and i ate well. but i think i've figured it out. i've heard that sore muscles retain water. and let me tell ya......i'm SORE!!!!! my calve muscles are so sore i can't even walk normal. DH has been making fun of me for two days now! anyway, i'll take it. i'm hoping for big numbers next week though because it'll be my last weigh-in before WDW!!!!!!!! 9 DAYS!!!!!!!! :yay:

[WI_DisneyFan]

After losing 5.5 pounds last week, I gained 1 pound this week. Doesn't surprise me, though. Because of moving out of our house, I ended up having pizza for supper Monday night and breakfast the following morning; and I had McDonalds twice. So I guess I am ok with only gaining one pound. But now that our lives are getting back to being somewhat normal (outside of living in separate houses), hopefully next week will be a better week.

Good luck everyone!

LOST 4 POUNDS THIS WEEK!

I was fortunate enough to get to go to Rome and Monaco and the French Riviera in March. That picture is along the coast highway near Monaco. I have two pics of me (out of like 900) from the trip (and this is the only one I like). The twenty pounds I've lost is far from being enough, BUT it has made a difference in my face and I'm liking pictures better.

I've enjoyed getting to see everyone else's pictures so I knew I had to share too, but I had to figure out how to do it! Always something new to learn....

What a cool trip! Next time you travel, you'll be skinnier, so we'll expect lots more pics for you to choose from for posting!!!

Uma - Prayers send for your boyo! I'm sure he'll et lots of pampering from mom this weekend :rolleyes:

[winkers]

I stayed the same, for the 3rd week in a row! I couldn't do that if I tried!:) I'm so excited this is my last weigh in day before disney!!:yay:

[eeyore45]

Would it be for the exact same dates?? I need to stop getting my oldest out of school....

and WHY do we have to stop taking our oldest out of school - they arent in high school yet are they? (I mean it is a break for dd,, she is always ahead of the class, so not challenged that taking her out gives the teachers a break from her and it gives her a break from them!!)

Sandy, You are beautiful!:)
Belle, I have to tell you right now I have my Peep thread "saved to fav" which when I go to that "fav" this sits at the top and I read this... and think "what a nice thought" Positive it helps take away some of my negative talk - thank you! :goodvibes (and I'm sure that doesnt make sense, expet for the thank you!)

How else do y'all save to favorites? Do you just go to the main wish page?

Sweet dreams peeps! Time for bed for me!:wave2:

Drink lots of water, because I'm pretty sure sore muscles retain water.

aHA so is that my problem, I have sore muscles and have not drank all my water the last 3 days... I dont drink enough water when I substitute teach!

Good taste! Rock on, sweetie baby.

I am so beat we had Open House in kindergarten tonight. One mom made a snarky comment, but guess what? It's April 26, and it's the first time I've seen this woman. Can you imagine not meeting your child's kinder teacher until April 26? So :snooty: hmph to her.

Harley- I dreamed I bought a Harley last night. You must be having an effect on me.

I'm afraid to weigh in tomorrow. I've been super diligent in counting calories this week. Around 1550 everyday, three of those days I burned between 300-500 calories with working out, but i got on the scales this morning and was up 2 lbs. Help me here. 140 lbs x 12 calories =1680 right? So within 150 calories should mean a little weight loss, right? WTH?

Love that the questionnaires and pics keep coming in. You ladies (and one South Park guy) are fabulous.


gotta run... literally

[daisy_77]

Morning, Peeps!

Congrats to all the losers and samers!:yay: :cheer2:

I lost 3.5 lbs. since Monday. I am really excited!:banana:

UtahMama....I had all my wisdom teeth pulled the day before my junior year in high school started. They had me numbed and I didn't feel a thing. They even got a nerve and although I was sore later, I didn't feel it at the time. He will do great! Pixie dust headed your DS's way. :wizard:

[my2boysrtwicethefun]

Stayed the same ! Good since I ate out several nights this week.
I'm behind 20+ pages and I don't know if I'll get back to reading them. I'm so far behind that I feel lost. :confused3

[eeyore45]

Uma adding + + + thoughts + + + and prayers... What helped dh is I packed 2 frozen ice paks, so as soon as he got in the car, I packed his face in ice - and then of course finding tempting soups and soft foods -

when fdil had her teeth pulled, ds was able to convince her to come stay with me for 2 days - I gave her tomato soup made with half and half cream, she thought it was fantastic, but I knew I had to get protein in her!! Puddings made with milk...

so hard on them, ew the blood! You're younger ones are gonna luv that!!

[UtahMama]

Sandy, i didn't get your - or +. You've posted twice without posting your #. Silly! Are you taking a free pass? samer? loser?

[HockeyKat]

I am at -4 lbs. from last Friday AM. Up 1 from Tuesday, but hey, I shouldn't weigh every day anyhow, right?

I am down a total of 21 from when I started this on Feb 6. Only have 37 more to go, sigh. So I am 218/197/160. Might shoot for 150 but it will depend on how I look/feel at 160.

Rome is gorgeous. I lived in Barcelona for a year in college, and it was the best year of my life. The "skinny" pic from before is from a town just south of there. I took a train along the same route you are discussing, through Monaco to Rome.

Wisdom teeth removal, yuck. Let him know I am thinking of him. I had mine out when I was 18, as well... except I had 8!

Hope everyone has a skinny day!! I am going to try and hit the gym today and avoid the Friday going-out-lunch that everyone does.

Hey punkin, I will be in WDW May 11-16... will you still be there?

[the Fidge]

Prayers and quick recovery wishes to UM DS! I reminded myself often in labor it was just a bad toothache. Nothing worse than a tooth pain!

seriously! where are all the peeps?


Thanks for asking about me. I've been so busy with wrapping-up another semester at college, taking my son to Little League, and babysitting my new niece that I just haven't had time to log on this week. Also, I have had a really bad toothache this week and went to the dentist yesterday because of it. I go back Thursday to have the tooth pulled.

Hello to all --

Well after lurking for several months over on the DIS Disney Cruise boards and dreaming of a relaxing cruise with the mouse himself, I somehow found my way this morning over to the WISH board and this thread.

Talk about serendipity! :wizard:

About two weeks ago, I embarked on a crusade to get healthy. That means I need to exercise, eat better, and LOSE serious amounts of poundage. I’ve tried the whole weight loss thing before, but never really stuck to it for any amount of time. So I decided that I would raise my accountability level and tell some of the people in my life about my decision. However, after two weeks of trying (and mostly succeeding) to integrate healthier habits into my life and telling people what and how I was doing, I think that I have bent my friends and families ears as far as they will go. Sooooo, I hope that you won’t mind if I crash this thread for a little inspiration!

Anywho, a bit about me: I’m 27, have a desk job, and up until two weeks ago I was a certified couch potato (actually I think that I’d progressed from couch potato to one of those potatoes that you find rotting at the bottom of the drawer with the eyes growing out of it). But that’s all about to change… (Big Breath)… I hope. Scratch that, I know it will change.

I’ve been the “heavy friend” my whole life, but my weight absolutely ballooned about 6 or 7 years ago and has been creeping up and out of control ever since. So the real question is: why now? Well it’s been coming for a long, long time and there have been lots of little catalysts along the way (innocent and not so innocent comments, worry about fitting in plane seats, disgust at the fact that I plan my life and what I do around how much walking will be involved). However the real thing that started all of this was -- over Easter weekend I agreed to chaperon my younger sister and her friend for a girl’s weekend in NYC sometime in June. That was all well and good; I was excited about the shows and sightseeing. Then I realized – these girls are 17 yo and dance for an hour and a half each day. I will never keep up with them. Thus, I decided to dust off the treadmill and start walking and to make an effort to refine my diet.

I officially started two weeks ago yesterday and I am up to walking three miles on the TM and have lost 10 lbs!!!!! :cool1:

Now you may say – “5 lbs a week is bordering on too much weight loss” (??too much??), cuz we all know that slow and steady wins this race for the long term. BUT, I really haven’t done anything too extreme (although I guess that it is extreme for my body). I’ve been exercising for 30 – 60 minutes every evening at a moderate to brisk pace (for my little legs). I also am making sure to eat breakfast, proteins, whole grains, salads, and fruits/veggies. Take out is a rare treat and delivery is an absolute no-no. I’m still eating the stuff that I love (pizza, pizza, pizza), but limiting it to reasonable portions once or twice a week. My biggest change and challenge is that I gave up my sugary sodas. I’m a bit ashamed to admit this, but I realized yesterday (after weighing myself and being shocked at the big weight loss) that I had been consuming 700-1000 calories a day in soda and juice. AAACCCKKK! I don’t know how I never realized. I’ve substituted diet soda during the day (gotta love diet Pepsi) and water after 7 pm. I hope to be down to one or two diet sodas a day in a few months, but for now just drinking diet is a huge leap!

Wow, didn’t mean to have such a long first post! Sorry about that.

Smiles,
MJMouse

:welcome:

[dismom9761]

I am up 1 lb

AF is here so I am not too surprised.

UM,sending prayers his way.:wizard:

[dismom9761]

Fran good to see ya!!:goodvibes

[eeyore45]

Stayed the sAME!

Sandy, i didn't get your - or +. You've posted twice without posting your #. Silly! Are you taking a free pass? samer? loser?

I did so post... I'll even go quote myself.... <harumph...>

:confused3 :confused3 :confused3 ITS NOT THERE!! :rotfl2:

I know I added a diatribe and everything!!! :rotfl2:

(you see I gained 2# from wedding, bad eating, no exercise - yeah, well, now I"m at 214# today - the weight I said to start the SEPT CHALLENGE!!)

[Disneyfreak92]

Attention WENDY! - I will most likely be giving you my weigh in info later today or tomorrow. According to my scale this morning, I gained something like 12 lbs since last Friday morning! :scared1: I worked my butt off this week, and my scale seems to be doing a lot of jumping around lately, so I am questioning its accuracy. I DO have sore muscles and more importantly (TMI alert!!!), I have a pain in my side which I believe to be because things are not moving through my system like they should. I am going to try to correct my tummy issues today, and I'll be taking the day off from working out. I will re-weigh later tonight and/or in the morning, and I'll let you know what I find out. I am trying not to be frustrated at the moment. I had that huge loss a couple of weeks ago after staying almost the same for 3 weeks, and then I lost again last week so I thought things were just moving along again. :confused3 I received my Old Navy online order last night, and it is definite that I am down a size there. The new pants, shorts, and capris all fit great! :thumbsup2 Well, I do most definitely remember why I didn't own a scale before! This up and down that doesn't make any sense makes me CRAZY! :crazy:

DSalmost18 is getting his other 2 wizzum teeth pulled today (full boney impaction). Poor Baby!!!!

He's so skeered! Last time (at the beginning of April) he didn't know what to expect. Yikes!

I feel so badly for him!

Keep my man/boy in your prayers today, pretty please!

[eeyore45]

oh Wow Lynda!! :hug:

didnt you have a surprise loss last week? There is some kind of mischief inside that scale of yours!!

I am concerned that you have zeroed in on your health - so follow your instincts!! Do follow your instincts - see a doctor, get a check up!! (of course our minds may be playing tricks, I wondered last night in a dream if I dont have some kind of tumor riding inside my belly area to make my belly so large!! you've seen those "women has 50# tumor non cancerous removed")

I'll be looking for your update!!

[DisneyJo]

[aries1980]

I am afaird to get on the scale today, although i did and ma intained...

I did however go to Kohl's last night and the brand of jeans Ive been wearing Stamp 10 i got them in a 16 when we started, went down to the 14s that i have been wearing and for fun I tried on the 12s last night and they fit.. little snug but they fit!!! I was so happy!!:cheer2:

I also went to whole foods for the first time and now Im obbessed a lot with that place!

[Disneyfreak92]

I'll be looking for your update!!

It was the week before last - the day I met you! :) It was a 12.? loss, so I was nervous last week about what it would say, but it said I lost another 3, I think. And prior to the 12 lb loss, I had lost 1 lb. 2 weeks in a row and then stayed the same the week before the big loss. Anyway, I am doing what I know to do to help my tummy today, and I am scheduling an appointment with the doctor anyway because I need a new Prilosec prescription, or we need to explore what is causing the heartburn problem. And I will be talking to him about the weight loss as well. My grandma always had issues with her digestive system, and they never really knew exactly what the problem was. I am afraid I may have inherited this from her. But I will keep you posted! :)

[eeyore45]

Well that I understand - I have a hyiatel hernia (I may be spelling that wrong!) I was diagnosed a few years ago - a muscle in the throat that acts up... so sometimes it causes me to "choke" on my food... esp when I get hiccoughs...

and that is heridtary - my mom's dad, and one of his sisters had this - they were both extremely skinny tho - I thought perhaps if I stop eating every time I choke, or throw up (from choking) I too would be skinny, (my dad's mom and a few of my cousins are heavy) but I think I just like and enjoy eating and drinking too much!!

so anyway. I had to have an upper GI series, and that's when I was diagnosed... and the treatment was zantac (before it went over the counter) :confused3

so take care of yourself!

Lynda your ticker is at TWEntY DAYS!! woohooty!! Are all your plans set???!!!

[daisy_77]

Lynda...I am sorry to hear your tummy has been hurting you.:grouphug: I get like that every once and awhile. I add some Benefiber to my food and it seems to help.:blush:

[eeyore45]

I LOVE WHOLE FOODS!!

I buy the ground oat flour - the 6week Body Makeover Program says that oat flour ( or specifically whole oats that you use your food processor to grind into 'flour') is a "good" carb!

So, today I decided I have to do better (gotta get that 20# challenge!) Well, I made my oat "pancakes" (only egg whites, oat flour, apple butter) instead of buying and eating the SlimFast bars for a protein snack.... and this weekend I'm grilling a weeks (or two) worth of grilled chicken and freezing it - along with the wild rice mix (another "good carb")

"What do you want? What are you doing? Do they match?"
This saying is up all over dd school - its a reminder to me that if I want to lose 20# by Sept, I need to look at my food journal more closely!!

[UtahMama]

Ladies I just had the best salad it was brown rice apples celery and walnuts its the waldorf rice salad from whole foods, see i told you i was obsessed and later foor a snack i got veggie sushi... its got carrots cumcumber and a little avacado the rice is on the outside instead of the inside and cover with sesame seeds.. Im so excited.!!!:banana: :banana:

[dismom9761]

Here are a few of my wedding pics.The second one is of me and Harley and the third is with Dragonfly also.

[eeyore45]

Oh Aries, that reminds me of my favorite salad - (the store went out of business, but they gave me the list of ingrediants!)

Wild Rice
Mandarin Oranges
Dried blueberries
grilled chicken, cut up in small tiny chunks/squares
shallots
rice wine vinegar
sugar

I'm not sure if there is anything else, its what I remember - all I know is the wild rice has this amazing nutty texture (and a good carb! meaning it doesnt stay inside your system long enough to convert into that bad sugar! I think!!) and it has the fruit (the oranges and blueberries provide sweetness so I have been omitting sugar, sometimes I may sprinkle a tsp over the bowl) Dried blueberries are hard to find, and those and the wild rice are expensive -

which is how I know its VERY VERY Healthy!! :laughing:

I made my pancakes - I hope dh doesnt come home from lunch and attack me - :rotfl: I smell like maple syrup!! :rotfl: (anyone remember that study of men and scents that drive them wild?? It was the vanilla, pumpkin and other food smells!) Oh and I just put maple flavoring into my pancakes, so I when I freeze them, or eat them, its just the perfect snack food - yummm! But the lid wouldnt fit on and I kept trying to get it to fit on straight - and now that's all I can smell from my hands!! :rotfl:

Great, I hope you're happy! Now I have to go to whole foods and look for that stuff. :rotfl: It sounds SO good!! There is one here, but it isnt in my usual grocery routine. I may have to add it!

[eeyore45]

AMY!! I LOVE your dress!! the pictures are wonderful!! Just gorgeous!!

WOW!! WOW!!!

I guess it is funny how all the wedding dresses the last, what decade? Were the no sleeves (what are they calling that? Ball Gown?) and so puffy - I dont think it flatters every style, but I do love it!!! I was glad when fdil (who has a skinny petite body style and would look good in everything!) decided she hated that style!

and look how many of us had similiar gowns?!! amazing - we have good taste!

I am dying today... want to eat everything in sight. Skipped the gym, too much work to be done... I DID eat breakfast this AM and now I am ravenous.

Food today has been 150-cal reduced fat toaster scramble, 300-cal red baron thin&crispy pizza, a salad (35), and a 60-cal SF pudding. Total 545, which is more than I usually eat by this time.

HELP!!

Kat...That doesn't sound like enough food to me. How many calories a day are you eating? Try drinking some water, sometimes you are really thirsty, not hungry. Where's your fruits & veggies? What about more protein, you don't seem to have much listed and that's what helps fill me up. Just some ideas.

[punkin413]

Hey punkin, I will be in WDW May 11-16... will you still be there?

we're checking out may 10th! that stinks!!!!!! i'm just missing linda (disneyfreak92), too. she's going for her 5th anniversary, as well. oh, well!! hope you guys have an awesome trip!

HELP!!

Hunger is usually thirst for me, so the first thing I usually try is massive amounts of water. If I'm actually hungry then some protein is in order. But if I just have the munchies a piece of sf gum usually helps until the urge to chew and crunch passes. Darn oral fixation....:rolleyes1

Good luck and stay strong!

[bradford82]

just a quick fly by post. Lost 1 lb this week. I wish I could lose more but it seems to only come off slow and steady.

[daisy_77]

Hi, Peeps!:flower3:

Christine-that salad sounds soooo good! I wish we had a whole foods here. Boise doesn't have much selection when it comes to groceries. BTW--your daughter is ADORABLE!

eeyore45-I really like that--"What do you want? What are you doing? Do they match?" I wrote it down and taped it my monitor so I can look at it when I am dising and wanting to blow it with some snacks.:rolleyes1
AND...I really like those tee shirts. I need to learn how to make em. Thanks for the link.

Amy-You were such a pretty bride! Thank you for sharing the pics!

Kat-I would just try to keep full by drinking water. How soon until you eat dinner?
I am not really a breakfast eater...so I try to keep it a small as possible like string cheese and a breakfast bar OR a SB breakfast wrap. I also eat 6 small meals a day and space them every three hours so I am never full.

It is another BEAUTIFUL day here! I love it! I hope you all are having a great Friday!

[HockeyKat]

I am eating 1200 calories since I didn't work out today. Probably too little but it has been working pretty well for me.

It might be thirst since I didn't have as much water as usual today. I will go fill up my water bottle. Already have the SF gum in my mouth. :)

I think I mostly am just craving bad food. That wee pizza was so good I wanted more. I had a big salad with lunch and I have a half cucumber here I could eat, but I just don't want it. Maybe it is the protein... I usually have meat with lunch but today was all veggie.

Also, work is super-boring this afternoon and I want out... I think that has something to do with it.

Dinner is going to be golden corral (large salad and small steak), so I don't want to go too overboard.

Thanks for being here!! :love:

[eeyore45]

I am dying today... want to eat everything in sight. Skipped the gym, too much work to be done... I DID eat breakfast this AM and now I am ravenous.

Food today has been 150-cal reduced fat toaster scramble, 300-cal red baron thin&crispy pizza, a salad (35), and a 60-cal SF pudding. Total 545, which is more than I usually eat by this time.

HELP!!

Timing, your body is getting used to having fuel (for me every 2- 3 hours) so I try and have some healthy snacks available (I've used the 0 point weight watcher snacks or fruits and veggies, or a V8!) USUALLY we know its protein that we want...

and like Uma knows that hoodia can be really helpful too!!

[Disneyfreak92]

Well that I understand - I have a hyiatel hernia (I may be spelling that wrong!) I was diagnosed a few years ago - a muscle in the throat that acts up... so sometimes it causes me to "choke" on my food... esp when I get hiccoughs...

and that is heridtary - my mom's dad, and one of his sisters had this - they were both extremely skinny tho - I thought perhaps if I stop eating every time I choke, or throw up (from choking) I too would be skinny, (my dad's mom and a few of my cousins are heavy) but I think I just like and enjoy eating and drinking too much!!

so anyway. I had to have an upper GI series, and that's when I was diagnosed... and the treatment was zantac (before it went over the counter) :confused3

so take care of yourself!

Lynda your ticker is at TWEntY DAYS!! woohooty!! Are all your plans set???!!!

I don't know how to spell it either, but that's what the doctor thinks I have too - the hiatal hernia. I made an appointment at lunch. It's for May 31st! :eek: They did say they'd call the office and try to get me worked in earlier, but I have to wait to hear back from them. I didn't want to see one of the Nurse Practitioners because I had talked to the doctor about the problem before.

Lynda...I am sorry to hear your tummy has been hurting you.:grouphug: I get like that every once and awhile. I add some Benefiber to my food and it seems to help.:blush:

I might just try that! Thanks. :)

[eeyore45]

Lynda I wonder if there is a difference between zantac and prilosec? The zantac I was prescribed was twice the dose (150mg) of what is sold otc (75 mg) and the doctor told me then (over ten years ago tho!) that it wasnt so bad that I needed surgery that I had to take the zantac twice a day, and then eat a bland diet... no alcohol... and some foods may "trigger" (raw carrots and hot dogs for me!) and to keep a food journal!

After about a year on the zantac they released it otc and it was no longer covered on insurance, so I quit taking it daily, and manage ok by limiting my diet, but I will say if I've eaten Italian, or garlic, or spicey Mexican food, I'll take a zantac before bed - and it does help...

Once I had control over the food, I now eat whatever I want and hardly notice it until I get the hiccups and the food wont go down my throat (it comes up with each hiccup) and sometimes its bad enough that I have to throw up, over and over (and still the food wont dislodge) I have had to heimliech myself once - but now dh and ds recognize my signs (usually I get real quiet and pray I dont get hiccups) if I get up and leave, it makes them nervous - because it takes so long to get that food dislodged -

anyway.............................

you'll be able to work with it - and I still say that 12# gain on the scale is a sprite foolin with your scale!! :hippie:

[Sparkie]

Samer-No Loss but No Gain!


Well, I was hoping for a better week. Tried the Hoodia- Works good when you take it. I seemed to feel fuller and it must have a lot of fiber or something cause TMI Warning it has been doing a number on my colon. So maybe next week will be better.

[belle8306]

Lynda- My husband worked with someone who thought they had that (I can't spell it either:upsidedow ) and it turned out to be an ulcer. I will send some prayers your way for you to feel better!:hug:

Sandy, I like your quote! I am going to write that in my food journal. I also like the shirt idea. How cute! Thanks for sharing!

Today my school's PTO bought pizzas and cake for all of the teachers. I avoided the lounge and I ate my lunch from home. I probably could have figured out the points and had a little bit of it. I would rather save my points for tonight and have a nice dinner with my husband. It smelled really good though!

What are your goals for the week before your next weigh in?

1.I want to start doing my Leslie Sansone Walk Away the Pounds video. It has a resistence (sp?) band with it. The first time I did WW I used this and I know it made a difference.:yay:

2.I need to restock my pantry and fridge with WW friendly items. I want to get a few new things to keep me interested.popcorn::

[eeyore45]

Belle I've been watching the BE (bare minerals) specials on QVC - and they are going to have a 5 mile Walk Away The Pounds (WATP) video with bands... and I went *duh I have that and those!! and I love watching becaues I get off my bum and start movin..

I really like them. (Well, as much as I can like an excercise video!:rolleyes: ) I have the set that has the band and the 1, 2 and 3 miles. Have you tried the fruity V-8? I like it. They make it in a light version too! By the way, I work with someone who gets an order from QVC like once a week.

Great! Am I too late? Did you eat everything not nailed down? ;)

I would say hurry and eat some protein like string cheese, lunch meat, beef jerky, etc. Protein keeps you full alot longer. Hours longer than carbs!

Thanks! :)

And my goals this next week would be to restock my kitchen. I have run out of a few things. And there are still a couple of items I have seen mentioned here that I have yet to find at the store.

I also want to pre-prepare some things to take for my lunches. I am tired of waiting in the Mickey D's drive through! (Even though I can eat healthy there - sitting in my van waiting in line is such a waste of my lunch time!)

I am getting my hair cut Saturday, and I am also planning to take the day and do some things for me - watch some chick flicks, do some writing, paint my toe nails, do a facial mask. I need a "me day"! :laughing: Then, maybe DH and I can have a date night! :)

I will continue to do my exercise, and I will try to post my totals EVERY day! (I did do better this week though!)

I can't think of anything else at the moment, but I'm sure I'm forgetting some stuff. :rolleyes:

[the Fidge]

I am afaird to get on the scale today, although i did and ma intained...

I did however go to Kohl's last night and the brand of jeans Ive been wearing Stamp 10 i got them in a 16 when we started, went down to the 14s that i have been wearing and for fun I tried on the 12s last night and they fit.. little snug but they fit!!! I was so happy!!:cheer2:

I also went to whole foods for the first time and now Im obbessed a lot with that place!

Way cool and COngrats on the NEW SIZE Yiippeeee score a victory for the loser!!! Good to hear!! Thanks for keeping me motivated with hope!:banana:

[the Fidge]

Lynda I say return that scale and get a new one. I truly think its on the fritz. Will be praying for your comfort stomach issues not fun, hope you feel better soon. The most frustating thing for me is waiting to know whats going on when it comes to Dr stuff.

HI Fidge, how's your ds???

[HockeyKat]

UM, I didn't eat anything. DH called and promised golden corral for dinner so I can hold out.

Workday is just about done... headed home to go to Walmart and buy more trees for the great tree planting of 2007 that will occur on Sunday (trying to not see the n-bors desolate yard).

I just called and added another night to our WDW trip in May. My training was cancelled so I can leave work early on Friday, we can get on the road by 1PM and get there around 9:30-10. Was lucky enough to extend our one night at CBR to 2 and keep the AP rate on a king bed room! I tried to look online and there wasn't anything, so I feel fortunate that the CM was able to pull it out of his hat. :yay:

Great, I hope you're happy! Now I have to go to whole foods and look for that stuff. :rotfl: It sounds SO good!! There is one here, but it isnt in my usual grocery routine. I may have to add it!

Well I also got silken tofu to make cookies
multigran bread
vitamuffin
veggie burger
and some veggie sushi

I got addicted to this place!



Hi, Peeps!:flower3:

Christine-that salad sounds soooo good! I wish we had a whole foods here. Boise doesn't have much selection when it comes to groceries. BTW--your daughter is ADORABLE!


You have to try and make it... very good salad.

Thanks your daughter is a cutie too!

I must be certifiably insane. First, I had to teach this morning, and the kids were all fired up and not listening. Then, I had my 'new daycare kids' here until about 6:30 tonight (they came here at noon) and now I have a different little boy here for a sleepover. (he comes here a few times a month, goes to bed fairly early, she will come as soon as he wakes up tomorrow and she pays me $100...couldnt turn down the extra disney money.) Anways, all the kids have been wound up all day long, must be the spring air. I am losing it. Oh, and my lovely AF came about a week early. Go figure that one. At least it explains the chocolate fix I have been dealing with all week.

Somebody talk me down off the ledge please :scared: I am pretty much maxed out on calories and I am craving JUNK tonight. It has been a LONG day and will probably be a long night too.....tell me not to eat please. I am chugging water but it isnt what I really want. :sad2:

I had a sweet fix as well and went and got Twizzlers. They are virtually fat free!!! But those remaining 7 cupcakes are calling my name. I had to work late as well tonight..how come on Fridays the time goes slower when you are putting in extra hours??? :headache:

You can do this!:cheer2: You will feel so proud of yourself tomorrow if you hold out tonight. If you need to have something what about an apple with a little bit of peanut butter on it? Or some chocolate milk? I make it with skim milk. It is a pretty good snack. Your peeps believe in you!!:grouphug:

Hey guys...I posted on the Meet Thread in order to find out who wants to do the firreworks cruise on 9/24 at 7:35pm. it's $35pp and Aries is the only one who can reserve it for us since she is the lead planner. If you could jump over there if you are interested that would be great!! You'll have to PM her your reservation # and name b/c the reservation is added to your hotel one to be paid when the balance is due! :goodvibes

The cruise is on one of my in-flexible nights. DANG! We probably couldn't afford it, though. That's our Mama Melrose/Fantasmic night. Meeting Celery and someone else that night. Lynda? was it you? I'm all confuzzled.

[UtahMama]

Hello Ya big losers!!!

37 1/2 ponds lost this week including the 11 pounds MJMouse lost (for 2 wks. we'll count it!)

I didn't get Lynda's real number. Her scale is stupid ;)

I had to show my Driver's Lic. to obtain Sudafed! Sheesh!!! I just Ny-Quiled, which I only take when I'm genuinely sick even though I joke about it all the time.

So! Goodnight!!!!

[AnnNan]

That is so cool that you go to go there! I want to see more pictures! popcorn::
I'm kind of trying to make that work...
[B]Nancy...My DD17 is going to Europe in June. Tour begins with 2 days in Paris, then Madrid, Barcelona, Avignon, Riviera, Florence, Nice, Rome. Oh....I was 26 and DH was 27 when we married. I wish I still looked that young!
You really look young for 26 - I was thinking you were right out of high school!
Your DD's trip sounds fabulous. I love getting to go - well anywhere! - but those are some incredible places. I went to Italy ten years ago and London and Paris eight years ago. I was amazed at how little I remember clearly. Encourage DD to take pictures (and maybe even more write down as much as she can.) It will really help to remember it all later. I was much more conscientious (sp? - don't feel like looking it up!) on this trip about knowing where I was and what I was seeing and still am already looking back at a few pictures wondering "which cathedral?" or "which monument?" Mine has to be edited for viewing by anyone besides me, but I'm so glad I wrote as much as I did this time.

DSalmost18 is getting his other 2 wizzum teeth pulled today (full boney impaction). Poor Baby!!!!

He's so skeered! Last time (at the beginning of April) he didn't know what to expect. Yikes!

I feel so badly for him!

Keep my man/boy in your prayers today, pretty please!

I set up four slideshows in photobucket - about 10 pics in each - for those who are interested. (That is just kind of what worked - I'm still figuring out photobucket!)
We had a brief layover in New York and then to Italy. I tried to put just enough caption so you could know where each picture is.

HAPPY SATURDAY, PEEPS!!! :sunny:

Love reading the menus!!! Keep up the good work!!! :thumbsup2

Not much posting going on last night. I watched Night at the Museum with DS as oldest DD was at work and DD13 was picked up in a fancy limo for a slumber party?! :rolleyes: (I'm sorry...we can't compete with that.)
You really look young for 26 - I was thinking you were right out of high school! That's so funny! We actually had a lot of people (even at the time) tell us we looked much younger than we were. Add a baby and you're not looking all that young anymore.
Your DD's trip sounds fabulous. Thanks! DSIL invited her to go and is paying for the trip! It is a tour with a high school group although not DD's high school. DSIL is a teacher but 2 other DSIL's are going on the trip also so lots of chaperones.

DD is a very good photographer and has a DSLR. Her greatest fear is having her camera stolen on the trip. :scared: She is also a journaler since the 4th or 5th grade so I'll make sure she has a new journal just for the trip.

Nancy....your pictures are awesome! I think DD is going to all those places except maybe Monaco. I know they are going to the Riviera and I heard Caanes mentioned but haven't looked at the itinerary recently.

Can you recommend any good guide books? It's so much more meaningful if you actually know something about the places/churches/monuments before yuo see them. Don't you agree??? Thanks! (Probably should've pm'd all that!)
I ab gebbing a colb. I'b sooo stubbed ubb!!
Hope you feel better tomorrow! COLD-EEZ!!! It will get rid of the cold. HONEST!
HI Sandy - DS is just fine he is upstairs palying with a firend right now got report cards all Bs what the heck happened??? Well its better than Cs right?? He went down in 3 subjects.Fidge! I got a call from the counselor at DD13's school a few weeks ago to tell me she had an F in algebra!!! I KNOW!!! She had to go to Saturday school! The grading period was fairly new and she hadn't turned in a couple of assignments so she turned them in and presto....she had an 86 average. She cried and begged me to call the teacher and get her out of Saturday school. No way, Jose! I told her the situation was of her own making and by golly she was gonna go to Saturday school. And guess what? She had FUN at Saturday school! Uuuugggggg! :sad2: I'm keeping a close eye on her grades now...online. Heh. :cool2:

Everybody have a great Saturday! :flower3:

[dance2874]

Happy Saturday everyone. Hoping we all have a great weekend. :goodvibes I am off to help my mom with her garage sale today. Ugh. Hope I dont have to stay all day, I mean it was HER idea to have this thing. ;) But to be fair, her garage is in the back of the house, in alley of sorts, they all are that way here. And she wants to put stuff on the front lawn where people will see it and be enticed to go around back...so she cant be in 2 places at once and needs some help.

Right there with ya. The hot tub is here and set up, and DH is calling ;). I'll catch up later.
I am so jealous!!!

I set up four slideshows in photobucket - about 10 pics in each - for those who are interested. (That is just kind of what worked - I'm still figuring out photobucket!)
We had a brief layover in New York and then to Italy. I tried to put just enough caption so you could know where each picture is.

[pigget74]

Starting tonight DH and I are going to start walking -- If we go all throughout our neighborhood twice it is almost 3 miles. It is kind of hilly in places so that is good to. The past 2 weeks at school I have not made great choices. Three of us each week are providing lunch on Friday's until school is out and boy had it been good. Then we have had families over for dinner and they have brought the dessert and tey are always good. So I really need to watch what I eat more closely and really start walking.

Hope all is well for everyone. Landing about in 1 hr from now next week in Disney. I have so much to do between now and then.

[UtahMama]

AnnNanabanana- THOSE are some great pictures! Lynda's going to love them, being the thread photographer. All the historical sites must have been amazing in real life!!!

Pigget!!! Great on the walking!!!! :cool1: You should "Walk like an Egyptian" or moon walk since around the neighborhood. :sad2: See? Who needs a treadmill?


Dance- I LOVE garage sales! I have a garage full of stuff to get one of my own going. It's our DisneyWorld Sept. fundraiser. :yay: I guess it'll go toward MNSSHP or something else we totally cant afford but are doing anyway!

[Disneyfreak92]

Hi, Peeps!
Here are my totals for the day:
Breakfast-South Beach Southwestern Breakfast Wrap 4 points
Lunch-Tuna Sandwich, baby carrots, Baked Lays BBQ flav 8 points
Dinner-McDonald's Southwestern Chicken Salad w/dressing 9 points
Snack- 1/2 cup SF ice cream 3 points and 1 string cheese 1 point
Totals: 25 out of 25 points
Exercise: 2 mile Walk away the Pounds DVD and some sit-ups

How'd you like the McDonald's salad? I enjoyed it.

The cruise is on one of my in-flexible nights. DANG! We probably couldn't afford it, though. That's our Mama Melrose/Fantasmic night. Meeting Celery and someone else that night. Lynda? was it you? I'm all confuzzled.

It is me! :yay: We are doing Brown Derby and will meet you at Fantasmic! :thumbsup2

Hello Ya big losers!!!

37 1/2 ponds lost this week including the 11 pounds MJMouse lost (for 2 wks. we'll count it!)

So! Goodnight!!!!

I am going to weigh today with clothes on, before I leave for my hair cut, and then I am going by my mom's house and using her scale to compare. (It's one of those with the slider, like the doctor's have...or had. My doctor has digital now.) I'll let you know what I find out after that. I am also tempted to just skip putting down a number this week and see what next week brings, but I want to know if I need to exchange my scale before the trip. I NEED that final number to be correct! :laughing:

Aw! Sorry to hear you aren't feeling well! Hope you feel better soon! :hug:

Melinda, how is your daughter traveling? A group? School?

Amazing pictures! I SO want to go to Europe!

Thanks! DSIL invited her to go and is paying for the trip! It is a tour with a high school group although not DD's high school. DSIL is a teacher but 2 other DSIL's are going on the trip also so lots of chaperones.

DD is a very good photographer and has a DSLR. Her greatest fear is having her camera stolen on the trip. :scared: She is also a journaler since the 4th or 5th grade so I'll make sure she has a new journal just for the trip.

Nancy....your pictures are awesome! I think DD is going to all those places except maybe Monaco. I know they are going to the Riviera and I heard Caanes mentioned but haven't looked at the itinerary recently.

Can you recommend any good guide books? It's so much more meaningful if you actually know something about the places/churches/monuments before yuo see them. Don't you agree??? Thanks! (Probably should've pm'd all that!)

No way! I love hearing about this! I can't tell you how anxious I am to see her pictures. I really want to go to Europe, and I know her pictures will be great. :) And what a great opportunity for her to get some material for a portfolio!

DH doesn't fly...yet. We plan to fly for the January Peep meet, and if that goes well, it may open up a lot of possibilities for us! Like DL and Europe! (He told me the other day he read Wendy's DL trip report! ;)) Now, if only it didn't cost $$$. :laughing:


OK folks, I have to go get ready to go get my hair cut. I haven't forgotten about yesterday's totals, but I will have to do it when I get home. Hope everyone is having a great Saturday! :goodvibes

[eeyore45]

Good Mornin,

I think we may have gotten our tax refund... dh asked me if he thought we should by a dyson!! :faint: ( we need a couch, we need to buy our plane tickets to wdw1)

My teapot has a teeny tiny crack... large enough that my tea is leaking out... dagnabit - its a special teapot - it has a super dooper cozy that goes over it that keeps my tea hot for about an hour! I'm going to Michaels and see if there are glues that I can seal it up with!

[harleygirl]

Morning Peeps - I caughtup last night then the stupid computer went all Kerfunkel when I was tryingto upload pics. from my wedding and I got mad and shut down

I ate way to much last night but am on track today

have a great peep day

Here's my weight loss for the week:
3 pounds woo!!!!

[winkers]

My kids are having so much fun with the kittens they found. They just can't seem to understand why 7 is way to many. We told them we can keep 2 and then when we get home from disney we'll see about finding homes for the others. Here's a couple of pictures of Hunter & Ethan with some of them.

I have that same pile of junk..hope to have the sale in July but it will depend on where I am working this summer. My dad is selling his house soon and there is soooo much stuff there too. It's very overwhelming but I would rather have the cash then donating it! :thumbsup2

Winkers, your boys' freckles are SO cute!!!

I don't think I've ever seen a cat like the light colored kitten with the stripes before. But then, I'm a dog person :rolleyes:

If I didnt have 8 cats already I would take some that one that looks whitish grey is cute too!

[Eventer98]

Winkers-Those kitten pictures are so cute!! I found one of my cats when she was 3 weeks old in a woodpile. It was a "friend" of mine's house and they didn't take great care of their animals. So I took her, even though the mother was around. She was thin and I don't think she would have survived. Now she is 6 and pretty darn cute. A runt though so only about 5 pds. I hope you find great homes....I'm glad you are keeping two!!! :flower3:

So the 10 inches of hair is cut!! It looked like a dead animal laying on the table. I have to mail it to Locks of Love Monday. DH is not home yet so he hasn't seen the hair yet. The highlights didn't come out exactly like I wanted but since my hair is so short it won't take long to get them re-done!!

Thanks! I think they're rather cute myself!:) I'm allergic to cats too, so they will be outside cats. And the light striped one looks suspiciously like our male cat! I think they're called silver tipped siamese or something like that.

And that is so cool that you are running the marathon!!! You go girl! (said in my best Tyra banks inpersonation) I'd need a concrete sports bra to run in public.;)

Winkers, your boys' freckles are SO cute!!!


i told her the same thing when she posted some pics of one of them on her TR!!! i just love freckles!

i wish all you yard-sellers lived close to me! our community is having a huge yard/hot dog/hamburger/bake/lemonade sale next saturday and all the proceeds are going to a family here that has a little girl who was born in october with a serious heart condition. she's not doing really well and their insurance isn't covering everything at this point. so sad. :sad2: anyway, i've gotten my stuff to donate together and now i just have to go through it and price it. some of it includes my size 12 stuff......gone forever!!! :thumbsup2

[Eventer98]

PS-Just called The Timeshare Store for more info on a resale OKW contract. We were contemplating going new thru Disney with SSR but this is a better deal by far. I think it's harder to get their financing though without a ton of $ down so I might end up going thru Disney anway. We'll see.

I know when were trying to decide--you had to put more money down, the interest was higher and it showed on your credit report. You also have to pay closing cost. With disney you put down a down payment, intrest is better, they pay closing, and it does not go to your credit report. We like that it has never showed up as a debt on our credit report ;) But sometimes if it is a better deal that outweighs all the other stuff. Good luck.:thumbsup2 We have 200 points at BC and are now needing to add about another 75 to 100 points and are trying to figure out what to do.

That's a good point..I never thought of resale showing up as a debt vs. Disney. I also liked that SSR is an extra 12 years. I just asked her to send us the paperwork so DH and I have until Monday to figure out the best option for us. Those extra 12 years are nice when you are youngins like us!!! ;) Thanks for the reminder about the loan/credit report stuff.

[Wonders10]

Hi everyone,

I know I haven't really posted at all since my return from vacation, but I have a very pressing question for all of you.

About Crocs. :lmao:

No, seriously. I'm thinking of finally breaking down and getting a pair. Mainly for my WDW trips coming up. My flip flops are comfy but my feet are way tired at the end of the day. And sneakers are even more comfy but so hot and restricting for someone who lives in sandals. Crocs seem like a nice alternative.

Here's the problem. I'm a very matchy matchy person. Is it ok if your crocs don't match perfectly with your outfit? I guess I could get a simple brown or black pair, but the colors look so darn pretty.

Ok, thats it. I'm in serious planning mode and gearing up for the beginning of the summer semester this week. I'm sort of fallen off the wagon and not really cared about it. It's hard getting back on track after vacation. But I did grocery shopping and am ready with all my old staples to get back on the wagon and lose some weight before my trips.

Hope everyone has been well!

[eeyore45]

Shannon - I'm QUEEN of Crocs!!

Its way ok - I just got the fuschia bright pink crocs, and I get so many compliments from the jr hi girls!! I also have a MM red pair - as well as 2 flip flop crocs...

One pair is a boring blue with a grey bed - the other is my fav - WATERMELON!! Pink and Lime Green - I wore them everywhere - but I did get a blister towards the end of the ten days - I have pronating ankles (turn in) so there's not much of anything I can wear!

Let me see if I can find a coupon for crocs.com - they just came out with new styles!! Beware of the maryjanes I've heard tell from a Peep as well as another that they arent as cushiony... but they look prettier!!

here it is free shipping crocs. com enter promo code spring07 at checkout

I have the athens - I want the Cleos!! and the disney pink, oh and look at................ its an addiction! I have a plantar fuscia (??? Bone spur) and with crocs I dont need a cane!

[lexmelinda]

We just had our house painted! The painters finished today and it looks GREAT! Not so much like Monster House...if ya know what I mean. Not so embarrased to live here now.
http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q240/winkers_photos/100_2676.jpg
I would like to order 1 Winker kid and 2 kittens. Next day air is fine. Send me a bill.
So the 10 inches of hair is cut!! Yay! Good for you to share the love. :hug: New 'do, huh?! Pictures???
NSalz started Weight Watchers last Saturday and at this mornings weigh in she was down 9.6 lbs!:woohoo: :woohoo: Go NSalz!Go, indeed! :cool1: WOW! Tell her we miss her!
Is it ok if your crocs don't match perfectly with your outfit? Yes! My croc-a-likes are hot pink and I wear them all the time. But not with red or clashing pinks. The colors are very fun! But Shannon....have you per-chance taken a look around at some of the baaaaad fashion choices at Disney. I say don't worry about it.

[eeyore45]

I am trying to make a Sept Challenge Clippy - actually I've posted asking someone to make it for us, I'm going to work on this...

Lose 20#
Sept free Dining
Peep Challenge http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c228/angelmum3/minniedance2.gif

and maybe somehow use a minnie mouse??? 20# for free dining


any other ideas??

OMG!! I am sucker for kittens and freckles...those are adorable pictures! How can you tell them they cant keep them all! You big meanie ;)


I will try to post a pic soon...tried to install my camera on new laptop and can't find the installation disc!!! :scared1: I saw one on Ebay for $10 so I'll probably have to get that. Very annoying!!
I lost the disk for mine and my dad was able to find a way to download it online. Try the manufact. website. Mine was a really off brand too and we still found a way to downlaod it. FREE, and immediate...not that I am dying to see your hair or anything! (I think he searched 'drivers' or something like that, because that is what you install to the system to get things to download from the camera.)

This is Sophie, she's a miniature spoiled doxie!
OMG, that is an adorable little doggie too!! So cute!

Ok, no it isnt a big deal if they dont match, at last I dont think so. I have a blue pair and a red/back disney pair I love. They also make flip flop crocs, I have a black pair of those. I think they are just as comfy too.

Try www.shoebuy.com- they have good prices, free shipping and free return shipping if you dont like them. And try looking for discount codes, I know they pretty much always have one. (naughtycodes.com or currentcodes.com are my favorite sites for that.)

I am going to weigh today with clothes on, before I leave for my hair cut, and then I am going by my mom's house and using her scale to compare. (It's one of those with the slider, like the doctor's have...or had. My doctor has digital now.) I'll let you know what I find out after that.

I want to see your hair cut too missy!! I am in need of inspiration and way overdue for a cut.

So, garage sale over for today. It was ok...her whole neighborhood was supposed to be participating but not many people did. We got alot of people who wanted everything for a dollar...which is ok for some things. But my mom has tons of nice stuff-she advertised it as a designer sample sale because she is an interior designer and has tons of stuff to unload from her business. Problem is that most garage salers (myself included) dont want to pay more for her sutff. They were expecting a deal...and her stuff was a deal if you knew what you were looking at. Make sense? That is whay I was dreading it I guess. I knew there would be the people who thought her prices were crazy, and some who thought it was a good price. Making it fun for me who has no clue what to accept as an offer :rotfl:

This is Sophie, she's a miniature spoiled doxie!

We have had two minature long haired doxie's with the same coloring...

The girls are now in love!!:rotfl:

[winkers]

We just had our house painted! The painters finished today and it looks GREAT! Not so much like Monster House...if ya know what I mean. Not so embarrased to live here now.

I would like to order 1 Winker kid and 2 kittens. Next day air is fine. Send me a bill.
....have you per-chance taken a look around at some of the baaaaad fashion choices at Disney. I say don't worry about it.

There are many days I would send them all to you free of charge! ;) This summer we get to paint our house, I'm really not looking forward to it. And I got a good:lmao: about the fashion choices at Disney! But I find just going to my local wal-mart can be entertaining fashion wise.

OMG!! I am sucker for kittens and freckles...those are adorable pictures! How can you tell them they cant keep them all! You big meanie ;)



OMG, that is an adorable little doggie too!! So cute!

Hi, Lynda-I really liked the salad! I hope that they are going to keep in on the menu.:)

Good luck re-weighing in! :wizard: AND if you feel up to it....I would love to see a pic of your new haircut, too!.:flower3:

Me too!

Well, according to the re-weigh, my scale is accurate...today. Of course, I have no idea if it was accurate when it said I was 12 lbs. lighter a week ago! Wendy, I think I'd like to opt out of an official number this week, so I can see what happens next week. I will try to verify that my scale is accurate next week somehow, and if it isn't, I think I will exchange it. If it is, I'll go with that number. Is that OK?

Here's the haircut. It's not great, but DH isn't home, so I had to take it myself. ..

I love the cut! You are truly a lovely beauty!

[Eventer98]

Ok..not that it's that interesting to anyone but we decided on SSR thru Disney. I was approved for the preferred financing and we have the option to take 2006 points. The only way we will do that is if there is a DVC resort with vacancy for our honeymoon in June. Since the dues are cheaper then what we will pay at Shades of Green, and we will also save $115 on towncars since we will have ME, it might be the way to go. I just want to make sure there is a resprt avail before we sign the papers for 06 points. I am waiting for guide to call me back. If we can't go DVC in June we will just get 2007 points and use on our xmas trip in Dec of 08!!!

You know...I still have my camera stuff in my old computer...I could take a pic and upload it. Perhaps tomorrow..I'm lazy!!! ;)

[Wonders10]

Shannon - I'm QUEEN of Crocs!!

Its way ok - I just got the fuschia bright pink crocs, and I get so many compliments from the jr hi girls!! I also have a MM red pair - as well as 2 flip flop crocs...

One pair is a boring blue with a grey bed - the other is my fav - WATERMELON!! Pink and Lime Green - I wore them everywhere - but I did get a blister towards the end of the ten days - I have pronating ankles (turn in) so there's not much of anything I can wear!

Let me see if I can find a coupon for crocs.com - they just came out with new styles!! Beware of the maryjanes I've heard tell from a Peep as well as another that they arent as cushiony... but they look prettier!!

here it is free shipping crocs. com enter promo code spring07 at checkout

I have the athens - I want the Cleos!! and the disney pink, oh and look at................ its an addiction! I have a plantar fuscia (??? Bone spur) and with crocs I dont need a cane!

Thank you Thank you for the code! I was definitely going to order them online because they don't have many color options around here. Thanks!

Yes! My croc-a-likes are hot pink and I wear them all the time. But not with red or clashing pinks. The colors are very fun! But Shannon....have you per-chance taken a look around at some of the baaaaad fashion choices at Disney. I say don't worry about it.

I've seen the bad fashion choices...stiletto sandals and a mini skirt? Not smart disney fashion (and I think it looks a little trashy not at Disney lol). I think I'm gonna start "safe" with a neutral color and then move on to the fun ones. I saw some really cute pearlized looking ones at Key West in light pink and gold - loved them.

Here's the haircut. It's not great, but DH isn't home, so I had to take it myself. ..
http://lyndapphotography.smugmug.com/photos/147667427-M.jpg

You look fabulous! Love the haircut and you can totally see a difference between this pic and your siggy pic! I need to get a trim since I'm growing it out and I desperately need highlights. It's getting way too dark for my liking, especially for summer.

[Disneyfreak92]

I love the cut! You are truly a lovely beauty!

Aw, thanks! What you can't tell in the picture is that it is shorter in the back than it is in the front. I am really happy with how it turned out. I go back in two weeks to get fresh color for the trip. :thumbsup2

[winkers]

Lynda, I love the hair cut!

[Minnie_Moo]

Lynda, you're looking SO skinny!!! And your hair looks great too!

Eventer, that is exciting about the additional DVC points. Hope you're able to get in for your honeymoon. Buying into DVC is on my wish list for the future (once my car or the bathroom remodel are paid off). A coworker has been trying to sell me his SSR, but I told him I need to wait. I want to see whether "upcoming DVC opportunities" are going to be affordable.

We technically should have waited too since DH is starting a new job in July but I guess we are banking on the disability he will get from the navy when he's out in June. He also will get a large chunk every month for two years since he is not going to use the GI Bill. I just checked Disney's website and they do have avail. for the DVC resorts for the week we are going. I hope it works out!!! :cloud9:

Mine is naturally wavy too. (See my siggie pic ;)) And it is fine, but I have TONS of it!!! My stylist cut a LOT out of the back! She always has to take lots of bulk out of the back, and she sure did this time.

Prayers please...

Prayers for ds 21.. Nathan... he is in a lot of pain ONE WEEK BEFORE FINALS..

You see 2 years ago we went thru 3 or 4 hospitals, to get rid of a HUGE kidney stone... and he believes its his kidneys...AGAIN!! ugggg. I was in his room, he doenst drink pop anymore... water, lemonade, or tea... and he's 21... (oh yes, he drinks beer, but not to excess, he cant afford it, he may dring Guiness a few times a week!)

I have no idea, but why sUNday, ONE week before finals...

yes, dh and I are a bit distraught! Should we drive down there and bring him home? I have no idea what to do!

[pigget74]

Sending prayers your way. DH had one a year ago and he thought he was going to die. I had never seen him in so much pain. Is there not a place that he could go there to get a scan? Hopefully he will be able to finish the week out.

[Eventer98]

I'm sorry to hear about DS...I hope he feels better soon!! I can't imagine the pain he is in!! :flower3:

Hi Peeps!:goodvibes I hope everyone had a nice Saturday. It was beautiful here. My mom and I went shopping and I got some hanging baskets and other flowers. We also had lunch at Chili's and I had the best salad: Grilled Caribbean. It was so good and only 9pts!:woohoo: Tomorrow I am going to make Taco Soup. It works out to be one point for one cup of soup! I can post the recipe if anyone is interested.

sorry to hear about your DS! i hope he feels better soon. ray (DH) had kidney stones a few years ago (before we got married) and he was in A LOT of pain. i walked in his apartment to find him laying in his living room with his legs spread open in a V. i asked him what he was doing and he said he couldn't close his legs cause it hurt too bad! does your DS drink cranberry juice at all? i've heard that's a good thing to drink when you have kidney problems.

[punkin413]

We also had lunch at Chili's and I had the best salad: Grilled Caribbean. It was so good and only 9pts!:woohoo:

that's my favorite salad at chili's! i worked there on weekends through college and i LIVED off that salad and chips and salsa for 3 years out of my life! :laughing:

It was the first time I had tried it but I will definitely get it again!:thumbsup2 \

I sure would be interested in that recipe, Belle. I make the WW white chicken chili recipe and that is only one point also.

I have had a bad food day today - got into the rest of the cherry cordial kisses. Now they're ALL gone, so no more temptation. But my weight will probably be up next week. Grrrrrr . . .

Sandy - Sending prayers for your son also. I would have a hard time not going and bringing him home. Please keep us posted. It's tough being a mom at times like this. :grouphug:

Welcome home!! :cheer2:

We bought resale through TSS, and fwiw the financing was better than WDW and the same money down. Credit hit was the same. However, the extra yrs didn't matter and we wanted BWV badly, so it all worked out for us.

I was terrible today and had pizza, wings, beer again. Did work 4 hrs in the yard (bushes and plants today) and will be planting trees all day tomorrow, so hopefully it will be offset.

Kittens are SUPER cute... I want that white-ish one, but NC is a bit far!

Sorry to hear about your DS eeyore, hope he is better soon.

I will check back in tomorrow night after planting 16 trees, sigh. Wish me luck!

[dwheatl]

Danielle, you're going to LOVE it!!!

http://stupidguesttricks.com/vb3/images/smilies/hottub.gif

We are loving it. We went in last night and twice today. Even ate dinner in our bathing suits so we could get back out there.

Winkers- Love the kitties. I didn't used to be a cat fan, but DD went through some terrible times and we got her a kitten as therapy. It's worked out great, and she is a super sweet kitty. One is plenty, though, thank you.


So the 10 inches of hair is cut!! It looked like a dead animal laying on the table. I have to mail it to Locks of Love Monday. DH is not home yet so he hasn't seen the hair yet. The highlights didn't come out exactly like I wanted but since my hair is so short it won't take long to get them re-done!!

Oooh, you brought back memories. My cut hair sitting in a ziploc bag, looking like a dismembered squirrel's tail. Good for you for doing Locks of Love. Can't wait to see the new 'do!



Here's the haircut.

How are the student health services there? Is there any chance one of you could stay there or close by, so he could finish his classes? Can you talk to the school (or can he) and find out about making up exams later? I feel for him and you.:hug: Lots of prayers headed your way.

Tomorrow I am going to make Taco Soup. It works out to be one point for one cup of soup! I can post the recipe if anyone is interested.

::yes:: ::yes:: ::yes:: Please post it!

Well, I worked it on the elliptical at the gym today while I finished reading Metro Girl by Janet Evanovich. It was no Stephanie Plum, but I still enjoyed it. I had some of the GS sugar-free little brownie cookies today. I don't think they are worth the calories. A serving of 4 cookies is 140, and a serving of 4 thin mints is 150. I'll stick with the thin mints next time.

[HockeyKat]

We are loving it. We went in last night and twice today. Even ate dinner in our bathing suits so we could get back out there.



We have had ours for 2 years and it hasn't gotten old. We :love: it still. Enjoy!! It is especially good after a hard workout!

[AnnNan]

Thanks! DSIL invited her to go and is paying for the trip! It is a tour with a high school group although not DD's high school. DSIL is a teacher but 2 other DSIL's are going on the trip also so lots of chaperones.

DD is a very good photographer and has a DSLR. Her greatest fear is having her camera stolen on the trip. :scared: She is also a journaler since the 4th or 5th grade so I'll make sure she has a new journal just for the trip.

Nancy....your pictures are awesome! I think DD is going to all those places except maybe Monaco. I know they are going to the Riviera and I heard Caanes mentioned but haven't looked at the itinerary recently.

Can you recommend any good guide books? It's so much more meaningful if you actually know something about the places/churches/monuments before yuo see them. Don't you agree??? Thanks! (Probably should've pm'd all that!)

Thanks, everyone, for the nice comments about my pictures, but I couldn't mess them up too badly - everything is just so beautiful! Melinda, your daughter's trip sounds a lot like the one I went on. We had only a few students - way more grownups. They take care of everything and it is a wonderful way to travel. I'm terrible about not reading and planning ahead so I really don't know what book to recommend. I've found it interesting since I've been home to look up the places we went on Wikipedia. (one reason I've been glad I was more careful this time in listing the names of the places we went, churches and monuments we saw, etc.) It's not quite the same as knowing the info while you're seeing it but they tell you so much I can't take it all in at once and this way I can take it in and appreciate it as I put it together at a slower pace - plus enjoy the trip longer!

Winkers-Those kitten pictures are so cute!! I found one of my cats when she was 3 weeks old in a woodpile. It was a "friend" of mine's house and they didn't take great care of their animals. So I took her, even though the mother was around. She was thin and I don't think she would have survived. Now she is 6 and pretty darn cute. A runt though so only about 5 pds. I hope you find great homes....I'm glad you are keeping two!!! :flower3:

So the 10 inches of hair is cut!! It looked like a dead animal laying on the table. I have to mail it to Locks of Love Monday. DH is not home yet so he hasn't seen the hair yet. The highlights didn't come out exactly like I wanted but since my hair is so short it won't take long to get them re-done!!
What a great thing to do! I love to hear of people doing things like that. My niece did it a couple of years ago and I thought it was precious!
Winkers, cute kittens - and kids!!!
And Sophie - what a cutie!!


Here's the haircut. It's not great, but DH isn't home, so I had to take it myself. ..
http://lyndapphotography.smugmug.com/photos/147667427-M.jpg

sorry about your scale issues, but you and your new haircut look fabulous!

Spent today with a lot of extended family celebrating my grandmother's 90th birthday - casual but turned out really nice. Fun to see family we don't see often.

Left there and drove eight hours to my brother's in Texas to see the kids' choir musical and will drive home Monday. Quick trip but looking forward to seeing my sweeties in the morning. (They were asleep when we got in at 2 am) I'm up way too late but couldn't resist checking in.

Have a good Sunday!

ps Sandy - sorry about DS - hope he will feel better quickly!

Lunch-Lean Cuisine Butternut Squash Ravioli w/salad 8 pointsHow is the ravioli??? I don't think I've seen that one before. Sounds good!
Me too!
Well, according to the re-weigh, my scale is accurate...today. Of course, I have no idea if it was accurate when it said I was 12 lbs. lighter a week ago!
http://lyndapphotography.smugmug.com/photos/147667427-M.jpg
Scalesrputz, too! Love the haircut! It does look like she thinned it out a bit at the bottom....very cool! Doesn't it feel weird smiling for the camera when there's no one else in the room? :laughing:
Should we drive down there and bring him home? I have no idea what to do!Prayers for Nathan! Where is his doctor? Looks like they'd have better/more facilities to manage the situation if there's a med. center at the university. Can they get him in one of those stone-buster things on an emergency basis???? I think I'd go down there and then decide wether or not to bring him back. Praying that it's small and he passes it.
got into the rest of the cherry cordial kisses. :eek: Oh, no! They are SSOOOOO good. I can see how that could get outta control. A few kisses won't hurt the weight. :hug:

HAVE A WONDERFUL, BLESSED SUNDAY!

:laughing: I can just see you guys eating really fast so as not to waste precious hot tub time! That is so cool...I really want one, and with my back pain it would be very handy, but DH is not as interested in it. Oh well...maybe when his aches and pains start!

I love the hair! It looks fantastic. You all have inspired me to call my hair lady today. I am going to try to get in today, yeah right, but I can try! I am a hairstylists worst nightmare. When I make up my mind to go I want to go NOW. :rotfl:

OH, newsflash for all you girl moms or young girls at heart!

They are opening a new BBB IN the castle on 9/10. (where the gift shop was, they moved that somewhere else)They started taking reservations today, so I called and made one for DD (and me too) for Sat the 22nd. We did just her last time but she wanted me to do it with her, this time I think I will...just for her enjoyment only ;) Anyways, they said there will be a place for pictures like DTD has, but theirs will be either IN the castle somewhere or on main street! How cool! I made mine for 8am, so we can be first ones in and out, and done before park opening to get our pics without lots of other people in the way. Dont worry though, no scary grown up princess costume for me. I just think it will be fun to have some pics of us together all done up.

Prayers please...

Prayers for ds 21.. Nathan... he is in a lot of pain ONE WEEK BEFORE FINALS.. Hope he's feeling better soon, could exam stress make it worse?

I was terrible today and had pizza, wings, beer again. Did work 4 hrs in the yard (bushes and plants today) and will be planting trees all day tomorrow, so hopefully it will be offset.

I will check back in tomorrow night after planting 16 trees, sigh. Wish me luck! 4 hours plus more work today will really burn the calories :thumbsup2

Winkers love your kitties, have a great trip only 2 more days now isn't it? :cool1:

Did you all hear we had an earthquake?:scared1: It was about 30/40 miles from me, we felt nothing! Luckily only 1 person was hurt but it caused loads of damage. It was about a 4.7 whatever that means not sure what's a big quake? We never ever have quakes so it's all a bit of a panic overhere at one point it was thought it was an explosion!

That sounds lovely, I've booked my DD's at BBB in DTD in August as a surprise, hope they will love it.

Prayers for ds 21.. Nathan... he is in a lot of pain ONE WEEK BEFORE FINALS..

You see 2 years ago we went thru 3 or 4 hospitals, to get rid of a HUGE kidney stone... and he believes its his kidneys...AGAIN!! ugggg. I was in his room, he doenst drink pop anymore... water, lemonade, or tea... and he's 21... (oh yes, he drinks beer, but not to excess, he cant afford it, he may dring Guiness a few times a week!)

I have no idea, but why sUNday, ONE week before finals...

yes, dh and I are a bit distraught! Should we drive down there and bring him home? I have no idea what to do!

Oh Sandy! Prayers heading Nathan's way! I don't know what his insurance coverage is, but could he go to the Carle ER if that's covered? :confused3 It is a really good facility, and I should know! ;)

I noticed you are dropping the Activia/Fiber One bomb. I hope it works/worked! :thumbsup2

Scalesrputz, too! Love the haircut! It does look like she thinned it out a bit at the bottom....very cool! Doesn't it feel weird smiling for the camera when there's no one else in the room? :laughing:

I am dropping that bomb! :rotfl: Nice wording, by the way! :lmao: It is helping, but it seems to be gradual. Today is cheat day, which usually helps too. Must be that eating something I normally wouldn't shocks my body or something. :confused3 I am going to be careful today though.

Thanks! :) When I went to take the picture, it was starting to curl up a bit, so I had to go straighten it before I took it. Today, I get to play with it myself. :) And we are going to church, so I am going to go do that very shortly! :thumbsup2 And yes, it did feel weird smiling! I almost made a face or did something non-smiling, like in Mimi's self-portraits, but I often look mad when I don't smile, so I didn't. I DID strategically pose so that the chins didn't show! :lmao:

[pixie dust 112]

Lynda ~ WOW! I love that haircut! You look wonderful. Between the weight loss and the beautiful haircut you look much younger! WOOO HOOTY!

Sandy ~ Prayers for NAthan. :hug:

Danielle ~ I love your hot tub smiley. It really made me laugh!

Jo~ I always smile when you use the word "lovely"! It's a word that I don't hear alot. Only from the British and my Mom. I use it sometimes, but it sounds funny when I say it....maybe I'll use an English accent next time.

Dance and Jo~ your girls will love BBB. DD(11) and DD (13) went in April and it was wonderful. They loved it. BBB in the castle would be amazing!

For all of you who are talking about DVC.....I'm so jealous!

[pixie dust 112]

Double post ...sorry. Boards went down and then posted my post twice!

[pixie dust 112]

Just got this e-mail and had to share with you. I've replaced some naughty words with smilies.


Most of you have read the scare-mail about the person whose kidneys were stolen while he was passed out. Well, read on. While the kidney story was an urban legend, this one is not. It's happening to women every day.

My thighs were stolen from me during the night a few years ago. It was just that quick. I went to sleep in my body and woke up with someone else's thighs. The new ones had the texture of cooked oatmeal. Who would have done such a cruel thing to legs that had been mine for years? Whose thighs were these and what happened to mine? Hurt and angry, I resigned myself to living out my life in jeans and Sheer Energy Control Top Panty Hose.

Then, just when my guard was down, the thieves struck again.

My :eeyore: was next. I knew it was the same gang because they took pains to match my new rear- end to the very thighs they stuck me with earlier. I couldn't believe that my new :eeyore: was attached at least three inches lower than my original. Now my rear complemented my legs, lump for lump. Frantic, I prayed that long skirts would stay in fashion.

It was two years ago when I realized my arms had been switched! One morning I was fixing my hair and I watched horrified but fascinated as the flesh of my upper arms swung to and fro with the motion of the hairbrush. This was really getting scary. My body was being replaced one section at a time. How clever and fiendish!

Age? Age has nothing to do with it. Age is supposed to creep up
unnoticed, something like maturity. NO, I was being attacked repeatedly and without warning. In despair, I gave up my T-shirts. What could they do to me next?

Then my poor neck suddenly disappeared faster than the Thanksgiving turkey it now resembled. That's why I decided to tell my story. I can't take on the medical profession all by myself.

This is not a hoax. This is happening to women in every town every
night. WARN YOUR FRIENDS!

P.S. I must say that last year I thought someone had stolen my :Pinkbounc :Pinkbounc . I was lying in bed and they were gone! As I jumped out of bed, I was relieved to see that they had just been hiding in my armpits as I slept.
Now I keep them hidden in my waistband.

[eeyore45]

:goodvibes thanks Peeps :goodvibes

My heart is in my throat! Its sunday, I'm hoping if he waited this long he can wait another 24 hours - Lynda that's where he went 2 years ago for his first stone (he had blood in his urine, and hs gf/df made him go to that eR - it was the beginning of a long series of hospitals - he got the shunt, he got the shockwave...) Right now he doesnt have his cell phone charged, so who knows... :confused3 dratted kids when they are far from home and need mom!

cranberry juice, its going to become a staple - Food lists - the doc last time felt it was an anomoly and told us not to worry, but to cut down on soft drinks/sodas/coke...

DANCE!! thank you so much for posting that!! I just called and we're all booked too! I wouldnt have thought to book me - but I'll probably get a bigger kick out of it than dd!

Pixie do you have a hidden camera in my house??? roflol - that sadly is too true a picture!

You have our prayers for your DS:grouphug: ! Is there a nearby hosptial he could go to the emergency room at?? He should not put off treatment as you know he maybe smart but he is not a doctor and need not complicate life with self diagnosis thats what Moms do!

I would insist on him getting to the hospital or Dr office ASAP! PLeae let us know how this goes. I will hope he is just stressed out from studying and is bound up with bad gas. Boys and gas now thats a norm but this he should not mess with!!!!

no, i didn't hear about that! i'm glad no one was killed and only one person was hurt.....well, i'm not *glad* they were hurt, but you know what i mean! we had an earthquake in georgia a few years back. it seems like it was in the early morning hours and DH woke up and said, "what the h*ll was that?" and i told him he was dreaming, go back to sleep. but then when we got up we saw it on the news and realized that's what he felt. crazy stuff!

[punkin413]

Just got this e-mail and had to share with you. I've replaced some naughty words with smilies.

:lmao: that's too good! i'm so copying that and forwarding it to my friends and my mom!

[punkin413]

lynda - i meant to comment on how good your hair looks! don't you just love getting your hair did! ;) i just got mine done the other day and i loves it! but i get bored with it really fast. and it grows soooooo fast so when i get highlights it's hard to keep up with the new growth - i'll probably end up changing the color again when we get back from disney!

by the way, about your *problem* down below.....have you tried mineral oil? that always works for me when i have that problem. i just do a shot (literally a shot in a shot glass) before bedtime and then in the morning my problem usually goes away. and the mineral oil doesn't taste bad. it doesn't taste like anything really....just oily. so i always chase it with cold water to swish around in my mouth so i don't have that nasty oiliness. just a suggestion!

[dance2874]

you have any place that i can look up the info on it?
I saw it on one of the other boards here. If you do a search on BBB there is a FAQ thread somewhere that has info on the 'experience' in general. As for the one in the castle, I read that on a post started by a CM who works at the DTD location I think. She just told us when it was opening and when to book. I am now reading they changed the packages a bit,not sure if it is at all the locations or just the castle. The Coach pacakge (the cheapest one, what we got) is $44.95 and includes hair w/choice of style and crown, makeup and nailpolish. The next package up includes fake nails for about $5 more and then there is 'the big one' that includes a costume too. Not sure how much because it was out of the question for us.(over $100 for sure)


Amanda is going to love it!!! What a great thing to do together!! :cloud9:
I know she will love it, and she is gonna be so happy I get to do it with her this time. I tried to book it super early so as not to mess up our touing plans too :goodvibes

:goodvibes thanks Peeps :goodvibes

DANCE!! thank you so much for posting that!! I just called and we're all booked too! I wouldnt have thought to book me - but I'll probably get a bigger kick out of it than dd!


When are you guys going? Which day? I have to say it looked like a ton of fun last time and the 'fairy godmother' who did hers kept trying to talk me into it too....pushing the mother/daughter factor. I didnt do it but Amanda wanted me to. Now I get to do it, in the castle :cool1:

Oh My GOSH! This happened to me TOO!!!!!! :rotfl2:

[UtahMama]

Me too!

Well, according to the re-weigh, my scale is accurate...today. Of course, I have no idea if it was accurate when it said I was 12 lbs. lighter a week ago! Wendy, I think I'd like to opt out of an official number this week, so I can see what happens next week. I will try to verify that my scale is accurate next week somehow, and if it isn't, I think I will exchange it. If it is, I'll go with that number. Is that OK?

Here's the haircut. It's not great, but DH isn't home, so I had to take it myself. ..

My flight doesn't get in until 11 on the 21st so maybe I will sleep in a little that day! Depends what Robin wants to do. How long will the appt. be do you think? :goodvibes

[eeyore45]

:goodvibes PEEPS :goodvibes Keep those prayers comin - - ds is callin right now, he thinks the medicine the Health center gave him is messin with him - ( Ketorolac) its making him dehydrated but he knows he's drinking his Nalgene bottle of water, and his input and output are off - so he stopped that medicine and there isnt blood in the urine... but he still hurts... He would rather go to a doctor - so we're going to call the urologist from last time and get a reccomendation for him down there -

JO I forgot to PM you and ask how that was - they showed the center on the map and it wasnt that far from London! :scared1: Didnt see that one coming did we!!

Dance I also scheduled us for an 8am time slot - still not telling dd - but I may want to change it, or change our Princess Breakfast in Epcot( so we'll have our Princess Diva 'dos for the breakfast pictures!) - right now I have it scheduled for a nothing planned day! I really feel like my planning is all askewed!!

I do get confused about posting times and dates, and plans as I have been told that problems can arise from that - so I get a littlle freaked out, I know it has happened to others... :confused3

Lynda cant wait to hear how your church day went!! We went to the Caryle ER last time, but I think we're going to see if we can get a referral for DS to a urologist - but its Sunday, so it may not happen today!! Thanks for the :goodvibes

FORGOT to add!! lol

I did my run - - 1.5 miles in SEVENTEEN MINUTES!! :woohoo: I'm on my way... so later today I'm going to increase the distance to 2.5 miles and see if I can work that up to 14 min miles - then increase... I dunno never done this before... but I am out of shape! and I DO HATE running... and :Pinkbounc: :Pinkbounc:

[punkin413]

CONGRATS ON NO 2'S, UMA!!!! i'm still waiting on that single, annoying little pound to get my 15-pound ribbon. how come that final pound is soooooo hard to achieve??? yesterday was my cheat day (watermelon margaritas = yum!), so i can't really hope for too much until mid-week. anyway, congrats again on the no 2's!!!:thumbsup2

[mousehouselover]

Quick, sorta flyby from me again........

Sandy~ Prayers and :goodvibes for Nathan.

Lynda~ Very cute!

Danielle~ Can we come over? :rotfl:

UMa~ Woo Hooty!

I read about the new BBB when I logged onto DIS yesterday. On the main page at the top there's a box with news and happenings. Yesterday's announcements were the BBB, MNSSHP, MVMCP and fall P&PP sale dates.

Well, I can't stay, I have to finish cleaning my LR so I can paint!!!!!! I took the plunge and bought 2 gals of OOPS paint from Home Depot a few weeks ago. It was pretty close to the color that I wanted in the LR and for $1 a gal, it was a steal! I convinced DH to buy the rest of the primer and paint this am so I have to get everything put away and moved so we can get started. I have all the paint I need to finish the LR and to paint the guest room and will have enough for the accents in the mater bedroom. (I picked the same color scheme for those rooms, esp the MBr and guest room so I can mix and match things and save on decorating; just move a few things around when I get tired of seeing them everyday.) Anywho; gettign the paint led us to looking at furniture and we finally found something we can both agree on! I can't buy it now since we are going to Disney but I will get it in the fall. I've been dying to re-decorate for more than 3 yrs but until just recently we couldn't invest the funds so we've been waiting and planning. There's been lots of bartering, bickering, explaining and compromise but it's all coming together. :woohoo: The final thing we have to decide on is carpet..... :headache:

Hmmmmm, kids just moved the sofa, there's lots of interesting stuff under there. A lost sock too, I was wondering where that went.

Alrighty, I have to get my craft cart cleaned off and moved. No more DIS time for me.........

[dance2874]

My flight doesn't get in until 11 on the 21st so maybe I will sleep in a little that day! Depends what Robin wants to do. How long will the appt. be do you think? :goodvibes
The appt usually takes 30 min or so, and we will both be going at the same time so we should be done no later than 9 I think.

:goodvibes PEEPS :goodvibes Keep those prayers comin - - ds is callin right now, he thinks the medicine the Health center gave him is messin with him - ( Ketorolac) its making him dehydrated but he knows he's drinking his Nalgene bottle of water, and his input and output are off - so he stopped that medicine and there isnt blood in the urine... but he still hurts...

I dunno never done this before... but I am out of shape! and I DO HATE running... and :Pinkbounc: :Pinkbounc:
More payers coming his way! And some :wizard: couldnt hurt.

I think the only way for your plans to get messed up from posting them is if you post a conf. # or something. As far as I know, nobody can mess ith a res. without the conf #. :confused3

And, yeah on the run!! That is awesome!!:cheer2:

[Sparkie]

eeyore The Ketorolac is for pain. It is in the same drug class as Motrin/Advil but stronger. We use it a lot with post surgery patients to help with pain because it is non-narcotic. I dont think it would directly affect the input/output. And from what everyone has said about kidneystones(a pain similar to unmedicated childbirth) I dont think the Ketorolac(Toradol) would help much either. The blood in the urine may still be there- it just may be microscopic- If he is still having pain, he may have passed one stone but may have more to come. If he wants he can do a makeshift strainer with a coffee filter over a plastic cup. You strain the urine and look for any gritty residue- those are the stones. I agree call the urologist. Prayers sent. Hoping he feels better soon.

Pixie Help! Help! I am a victim too! :lmao: :rotfl:

UMA Congrats on the NO 2's!

disneyfreak I just love your hair. You look like a young 20 something!


JO I heard about the earthquake. I wondered if it was close to you. Glad you are ok.

DD 1 just left for her audition. I worked last pm so dad is playing taxi today. I'm nervous for her. I just want her to do her best.

Hope everyone is having a great Sunday! I'm trying to enjoy my last few hours of "freedom" before the new semester begins this week.

Just curious, I have a new client this semester, a 5 yr old with autism. It really is not my forte. Obviously I know what it is and everything, but does anyone on here have any experience with an autistic child? Thanks

Hugs to you all! I'm really going to try to get back on here more this week. Honest!

Have you guys tried the new Quaker Rice Cakes that are Peanut Butter Chocolate chip???? 60 calories but they are so good! Especially for my kids. They like a smear of peanut butter on top of them. Tasty!!!

I work with a lot of autistic children in the music and movement class that I teach. I find adding movement helps the kids learn. The teachers tell me what they are working on. I try and put it to music or make a movement activity for the lesson. The teachers are always amazed at how fast the kids learn. Kept an open mind and be creative. I have a lot of fun working with autistic kids.

Wonders When I was doing my elem ed. practicums I had a class about children with special needs. I had to write a paper about autisim and I found a really good web site. I will see if I can find it for you. Oh, and I am also thinking about taking the plunge and getting some crocs. There are so many to choose from!

Watermellon Margarittas sound so good!:) Did you make them or go out somewhere?

Eventer I can't wait to see pics of your hair cut! I'm sure it looks cute. :cutie: I think it is so nice that you are sending your hair to Locks of Love. I had a girl in my class do that last year.

Audition didnt go too well. Even though this is her eigth year dancing, it is her first year of ballet and there was a lot of stuff she didnt know how to do. I was expecting this and I thought DD understood this as well. She has never wanted to do something and failed. I know this was a good lesson for her but its a hard one to watch. Thanks for cheering her on though.

we get the watermelon margaritas at longhorn steakhouse. we don't really like their steaks that much b/c they use the flattop to cook them and we prefer grilled, but DH LOVES their wild west shrimp and i like the sierra chicken. they don't always have the watermelon margaritas on the menu, but if you ask the bartender usually has the stuff to make one. soooo good!!!!! but it's only allowed on a cheat day b/c i have no idea how many calories are in those suckers! :rolleyes:

by the way, thanks for this recipe. :thumbsup2 i'm printing it out and i'm gonna try to make it when i get back from disney. i want to do it immediately, but i just got back from the grocery store and i don't have some of this stuff and i don't want to go back before we leave next saturday.
