DDA Chapter 17

WTG Robyn on another 4 lbs!

Anne Marie - any offers after the re-shows?

Here's a photo of my latest outfit for Leighanna.
I finished it late last night, so Leighanna didn't get to model it for me.
I am sure you will see lots of photos when we return though!

 

[MinnieMouseMom]

I had WW last night and am down another 4lbs since last week. Only 4 more pounds and I'll be under 200. I haven't seen that since right after Emma was born and I think it lasted a month or 2 maybe. I am determined to keep plugging along.

Yay! Congrats on the loss!

I am still feeling wogitty (as Bob calls it) and am very happy that I don't have to go in to teach until 3:00 today. I think a few more hours of rest ought to help! Have good days, everyone.

Hope you're not feeling wogitty soon!!

Thanks, Janet! I love it because Randy is rarely ever smiling in pictures but is in it. He's very self-conscious of his teeth that needed braces, but his parents couldn't afford them. What's crazy is he's always laughing and smiling in real-life. (This pic had to be shrunk down to fit the siggie, so it looks like his eyes are closed, but they aren't. ) Bet you didn't think would get a novel-length response...

It's a great pic!!

GLYNIS!!​

Tom love the outfit & on the weight loss!

Good morning.

I see I will have a busy day ahead of me looking at Amy's pictures.

We are having a heatwave here. It's going up to 46 today!

I want your heat wave. We may see 32 today. It hasn't been above freezing in well over a month.

Good morning...

Tammi- Aren't you excited for the balmy temps?!?! I'll take it, though.

Amy- Can you PM your link please? I can't get it load for the life of me.

Elizabeth- Congrats to DS on his grades.

Theresa- Again, Congrats to Abi & Cassidy on their grades.

I hope everyone that is still under the weather is feeling much better today. I don't know what was bothering me but I feel much better. I really think it's that my routine is out of whack. Between MLK day, the Inauguration, and then Emma's school schedule is all wonky. Eric was home Mon & Tues and then he's home early to get Emma from school. Too much time together.

I had WW last night and am down another 4lbs since last week. Only 4 more pounds and I'll be under 200. I haven't seen that since right after Emma was born and I think it lasted a month or 2 maybe. I am determined to keep plugging along.

Wow, getting under 200 sounds like a terrific first goal. I'm sure that will provide you with all the extra motivation you need to keep losing. Kudos to you.

Being sick as helped me lose a couple of the pounds I gained after vacation. It's pretty sad when I can eat my way across Disney and not gain weight (because of all that great walking) and then gain weight after I get back. My sister and her husband just joined WW last weekend, and they've helped motivate me. Of course, I'm so sick of my BIL (the one who hasn't worked in three years and must weigh over 300 pounds) tell me he's so satisfied by his points. Yeah, if I got 40 points a day I'd be eating a lot, too. I think my sister is going to slug him... actually, I hope she does.

Isn't it unfair how many points men get. Chris gets a ton of points too and he drops way more pounds per week than I do. Of course on the flip side he puts them on way quicker than I do too

Marci tell Randy that he is not the only one that hates their smile. I had braces, but I was left with one tooth that is blackened, due to some sort of trama while in the braces. Because of that tooth I cannot whiten the others or it will become more obvious. I hope that some day I can afford to have veneers to give me that perfect smile, but until then I need to live with and smile with what I've got I don't even think that most people notice, but I do every time I look in the mirror.

Another Knock out dress Tom. You guys are going to get so much attention.

 

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

Tom - Princess just caught sight of that dress. She ran over and said "Oh! Lady and the Tramp. Maybe I can have that dress sometime!" She is MIGHTILY impressed.
It is gorgeous, like always! We will have to hire you to make some dresses for Princess when they schedule her first trip.

I asked Dadboss about my W2. He forgot I needed one! He said he will print it for me tonight.

 

[my3princes]

Wow, you guys found some new and brilliant birthday graphics today. The ones I use pale in comparision. Oh well, it's the thought that counts.

Glynis

I did find one just for Elizabeth. So here is an early...or belated birthday wish

 

[my3princes]

I'm feeling wonky today. I was so tired last night, but when I went to bed I couldn't sleep. I think I finally fell asleep sometime after 3 AM. If I didn't know better I would have sworn that I took some cold medicine that reacted poorly. Of course this morning I woke up with congestion, head ache, ear ache, stomach ache and overall aches and pains. I don't dare take anything as I want to sleep at some point. Thankfully I don't have a busy day. I need to run to school to pick up Colby this morning then late this afternoon to pick up the other two boys after tech crew. Otherwise I will be a couch potatoe and maybe do some laundry.

 

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

Thanks, Deb! We are very close to being at the 6 month mark for my birthday, so we can count it as early or late.

 

[mommykds]

Anne Marie - any offers after the re-shows?

Nothing yet. Our realtor said that a young couple who had seen the house twice is ready to make an offer on Friday mornng but we will see. I am in no rush right now cause I want the kids to stay for the rest of the school year. If they had changed schools during the Christmas break that would have been fine but I am not putting them in a new school in March or April.
Thanks for asking.

Are you back to normal? If I had your schedule on Tuesday I would have been pooped for the rest of the week.

 

[mommykds]

Deb,
Dana does atkins for 2 weeks & drops 20 lbs. I trudge along doing WW's for months just to loose 20! Stinky eh!

 

[my3princes]

Wow, it is really wonderful to see so many of you reporting in with weight losses. I'm so proud of all of you for sticking with it. I lost another 2 lbs last week and I'm only 2 lbs away from my personal goal for the month of January. I really think that I can keep myself on track and not only reach my total weight loss goal, but also reach my monthly goals. My DH thinks that I am nuts for making monthly goals, but it makes me feel like I'm accomplishing more by doing so. So here's to the DDA:

Keep up the good work and thanks for the support.

WTG on the loss!

 

[my3princes]

Deb,

Atkins is a whole different beast of a diet. I lost 50 lbs in 4 months on Atkins. It is amazing for losing weight, but you cannot maintain the loss afterwards. That is why I switched to weight watchers when I started gaining it back. I've heard the same things about South Beach. Actually I saw an old friend that the restaurant the other night. We used to go to the gym together years ago (yes, I actually worked out daily ) She was never a thin girl and struggled like the rest of us. She did south beach and got down to a size 2. Of course it stopped working at some point and now she is the heaviest of her life. I didn't recognize her until she spoke. I can't tell you how much the extra weight has aged her. So the moral is keep plugging away on WW. It may take longer, but you have a much better shot at keeping it off in the long run.

 

[tmfranlk]

Tia, is your link still active (since I realized I never did see them, once I noticed that the pics you posted were not the same, but were ones from your own camera!)?

It is. I just managed to load them the other day so it will be good for awhile. As soon as the site starts working again, I'll repost the link.

I am still feeling wogitty (as Bob calls it) and am very happy that I don't have to go in to teach until 3:00 today. I think a few more hours of rest ought to help! Have good days, everyone.

Hope the morning off is just what you need to get this thing cleared up. Feel better!

HOPE YOU HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY GLYNIS!

Scraplifting...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GLYNIS!!!!

I agree. It's a great picture!

I don't know whether to say "at least it's your slow day" or "dang it, and on your slow day too." Either way, Feel better!!!!

The login page came up for me. No pictures

all I got was a server error. Twice. I am beginning to think I am not supposed to see those pictures.

I think there's a Photopass issue now. I can't even get the site itself to open. Guess we'll all have to try again later. Jennifer has me excited to see all of the ones she keeps mentioning!

 

[tmfranlk]

Good morning, DDA!!!!

Not too much on the schedule for today, just kids everywhere at one point. Erin had to go in to cover for someone who is sick so Kaylin is here. Kristi's kids will come over around 2 and then Rachel will watch them here or we'll take them back after she gets home from school. All of that plus the baby. Hmmm...guessing I'm not getting too much done around here today.

I am trying to come up with a list of my favorite house listings so that I can email the Realtor. I think maybe Terra and I will try to go see some next week and then take Phil back if he likes any. It's just too hard to work around him sometimes.
