if you have a hotmail account, be careful!!!!! my friend anna called us because she got a virus alert when checking her hotmail account and since ray's a computer nerd he always knows how to "fix" stuff like that. well, he worked on it for like an hour and couldn't figure out where the virus was. he told her he'd look at it again tomorrow. so then i go check my hotmail account just now and the same thing happens......HUGE VIRUS WARNING. and we don't have any of the same e-mails in our inboxes or folders. so it's something with hotmail. ray checked his account and the same thing happened. so if you don't have decent virus protection on your computer and you have a hotmail account, BE VERY CAREFUL!!!!!! or don't check it at all for awhile!
hello all! I have been a lurker for long enough, (at least 100 pages recently and skimming over the past months) I think I am really ready to do this thing now. I'm tired of reading all of the weight losses and feeling left out and jealous!Just a little background on my dieting history, about 2 years ago I lost 40 pounds on the Atkins diet , with alot of exercise. I would diet like crazy all week, and cheat on weekends. The weight came off, and then I got lazy. Halloween, a couple of birthdays, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and a teenage daughter starting high school, all of these things provided great excuses for eating!
Oh yeah, halloween candy! birthday cake! school parties for my first grader! (You know, I was the mom bringing in the vegatable tray, which by the way, the kids loved, but I could not resist the other moms cupcakes!!!) and of course, lovely batches of delicious Christmas cookies.
It's hard being a good cook sometimes. And yes, I meant that 2 ways, I am only a good cook sometimes.
But, to get to the point, the scale that I had been avoiding all winter (sometimes with a good little kick to get it out of my way)
finally jumped in my way and revealed to me that I had put on 25 of those hard lost pounds!!!!
How did I not know this you ask? Well, maybe you ask, maybe your just sitting there shaking your head thinking, It was the food you Idiot! or maybe your not even reading this ridiculously long post and and have totally bypassed it! But I kind of hid it from myself because it was winter (umm..in Florida) (umm... for AT LEAST 2 weeks!) and I was hiding behind my jackets and jeans. Well, I was trying to hide my behind but it just kept getting BIGGER!!! But when I went to pull out my summer clothes (shorts) they did not fit!!!
Well, they kind of fit, if you don't count the zipper being stuck in the down position... not a pretty sight. Trust me. I spent all of May and June on the south beach diet.... with NO CHEATING! and lost 14 pounds. But we had to cancel our WDW trip at the beginning of July (due to moving timeframe conflicts
,) so I gave myself the week off of dieting. (not like I would have been dieting that week anyway, in WDW, right?) Well, me and my big mouth ate 10POUNDS back on that week!!!

and more
But now, I am ready. (again) Yall have inspired me. I actually did 100 situps yesterday after reading about 100 pages of motivational posts. I admit, not having done situps in a looong time it was hard! But I thank you for the shove. I feel like I know yall, (not in a weird stalker way either) and I look forward to this challenge. Well a little bit. With cheat days. But you know what I mean! That's what is great about this forum, I actually feel like you all DO understand.

ONE pound. One hard earned pound. One, but should have been like 5.![]()
Sorry to be MIA. I have been sewing!!!!
Yes, ME!
There's this SUPER cool thread over on the family boards called Kids Disney Boutiqe/Custom Clothes and I am sooooo addicted. Just go to the first page and hit the photo bucket link to ALL the completed projects!!! In the last 3 days, I've sewed 3 outfits for Norah. AND they're kinda cute! My boys are too cool for homespun fashionso I'll make them sleep pants. Sheeeesh!
No I need to catch up with YOUS!!!!!![]()
I know it's been about 2 mos![]()
since I've posted. I've done a bit of lurking and have sort of kept up with things. I hit a really bad spot and needed to get myself back together. I've been feeling better and decided I've put off rejoining life long enough.
I am job hunting and have finished half of my course work to become a pharmacy tech. I haven't worked for the vet in 6 weeks and yesterday we were unable to come to an agreement over a schedule for me to return to work. I'm upset and bummed but they really didn't want me back. (They posted a job listing in the paper on Wed, knowing that I was planning on returning to work next week......... seems a bit odd if you ask me.)
On the weight front I have lost 5 lbs in the last 6 weeks. It's been slow going and visiting me family set me back a few pounds but I'm moving forward and seeing numbers that I haven't seen in years!![]()
Welcome to all the new PEEPS, Happy birthday and annivesary to those who I missed and congrats to Jen and Tara!!!

Happy weigh in day Peeps! Seems like we have had some good losses today, hard earned ones!
I can do the 1st(unless crarmy will have time to meet up on her visit on the way through town on that Friday? I am pretty flexible until school starts)
I am in McKinney/Frisco area. About 40 minutes north of Dallas.
WELCOME!!! You will love it here and be losing with everyone in no time!
OK, so I was supposed to babysit at 9:15 and I rush home from dropping Amanda at VBS to wait on the kids. Well, here I sit at 10:15, still no kidsI could have easily used this past hour to do something fun by myself while I was kid-less! GRRR......They did call me, 5 min ago to say they were on their way, an hour late, but on their way. So rude.
If you have a moment and are good at "buzz words" I'm trying to fill out an application - essay question...
Describe skills necessary to be an outstanding teacher... (quality, each child can succeed, passion for education and students.... Learning for all teach work collaboratively... implement power standards, with excitement, and a variety of techniques,raises level of achievement thru the use of a variety of techniques, to help students become LifeLong learners... effective teacher is always learning...
I have to brainstorm and I have no one to talk to - I always get great help from other teachers to bounce off ideas until I come up with a comprehensive spiel!!
the other one I cant even begin is How would you address a wide range of skills and abilities in your classroom - and I would use Glasser Method of Choice Theory, and differentiate wow this one is easier,
brb with my notes are shaping up on #2
ATTENTION DOG LOVERS!
I just got this link on email. So cute!
TYPE IN a command and see what happens... sit, roll over, down, stand, sing, dance, shake, fetch, play dead etc. and...it's also very cute if you type in a command that's not recognized.. .!!
Make sure you type in "Kiss" too, but do it last.

I am in McKinney/Frisco area. About 40 minutes north of Dallas.
I then said, so my children could not hear....That I did not expect them to "treat" this bird that was almost dead....Please just kindly "dispose" of it. So, they finally understood what I was trying to imply, and told the children, that they would take care of the the baby bird.
Welcome, and great intro! I probably said "yep, been there" and "I know exactly what she's saying" about 1/2 dozen times while reading your post. So yeah, we all do understand, and we're glad you decided to join!
And I get a new ribbon.![]()
