If Wheat Thins doesn't post again, I think that was just someone trying to poke fun at us. (low post count) If the person does post again and is genuine no offense! We welcome all. Just know we are a fun but serious group!


My best friend in this beautiful world's mom died and I have to go to the funeral home tonight. I'm sad for Steph. Lot's going on and now this. She got laid off last month and a few months before that her DH got laid off too. They worked for the same company. Please say a prayer for her and her family if you will. They just need something to go right this year. Thanks.


Sorry for your loss but I am so glad that you can be there in person for your friend.

I'll vouch for WheatThins.... he is one of Utahmama's rabid trip report fans and is just poking fun at her (not at us!) I doubt he will be around much but he really would try a diet of only wheat thins.
 
:3dglasses ME

I have lost 4 since I started...I gained some weight during Christmas and had to start over.:sad2:

Thanks, UM!

Ok, I edited you IN!!! :woohoo: You are ROCKIN!!!!!!!

Wheat Thins is harmless. If we were in school, and he sat behind me, he'd be a pony-tail puller. And I'd be a tattle-tailer and a covert spit-wader (heh-heh)
 
I'm not on the list either, but I have mixed feelings about posting. After holidays, anniversary, and DL trip, I am right back where I was the day before Thanksgiving, which was my starting weight for this thread. To me, that's great, because I usually gain from Thanksgiving to January and then have to take it off before trying to take off the rest of my excess weight. However, it means I have no ribbon, no lbs. for the skinny Minnies to count, a big zero. I guess I'll go with the positive attitude and say, Yay, me, I didn't gain over the holidays.

I ended up getting a Boca burger at Johnny Rockets last night, because the salad looked ugly ( iceberg lettuce! Come on, this is CA. Give me some romaine, green leaf, something with some color!) I left half the bun, and had 3 tiny sips of DD's 1100 calorie chocolate shake. She's a natural skinny Minnie, so she can just stop when she's full. Imagine that. She left more than half the shake, and I had to remind myself that's a good thing. Also, DH and I went to see Casino Royale yesterday (great bod, Mr. Bond) and I brought an orange to the movies for my snack. That helped fend off the Raisinets and million calorie popcorn. I did feel a little redneck, though. Well, it's the theater's fault for not selling fresh fruit, so :p to them.

DH and I had a plan to get up early and go to the gym today, but his new meds made him sleep till 8, and my nature made me sleep right along with him (I think 8 would be a very civilized time to wake up every day, but when we go back to work it's between 5 and 6 every morning). I was a good girl and said, let's just throw our sweats on and go, and we can eat breakfast when we get back. So we did. Yay us!

V- Sorry about the AF problems and the funky diagnosis. I had a polyp in September, and had it removed under local anesthesia. Dr. removed it with a thing like salad tongs. I was very brave, but that almost made me :faint:. Dr. is a hoot and gave me a picture of my uterus to share with DH. I asked DH if he wanted to see a naughty picture of me. He was a little :scared1: when he saw it. Then I tore it up and threw it away. I didn't want that thing resurfacing if I ever run for office.
 
Congrats to all those that lost weight. I am behaving.. I have no scale but I have to go Monday to the doctor for my surgery check-up they will weigh me then.. I am positive it is more than it was 3 mos ago, but I would guess it is less than it was last Monday.. As long as I am moving in the right direction!

Enjoying everyone's stories.

Has anyone tried the sweetpotato fries?
Not yet sweetbee- I have the ingredients on my grocery list! I cant wait to try them. Does the oil need to be more? Maybe not since you have to spray the pan with PAM. I bet the Olive Oil version of PAM would taste pretty good. I NEED more Kashi Meals...You guys gotta taste those! Serve one with a nice salad and "Wa-LA!" you are a gourmet! I'm going to check at Walmart if they have the biggest loser book. I need to kick it up a notch!!!!
 

okay Utahmama i am up 4 pds .:confused3 this is my flucuation week .:lmao: i weighed twice but i am okay with that. i am off to rescue husband he went to DD dentist surgery and now he has to go back to work. :scared1: her appt was at 10 and she hasn't even got in yet....

UMA - The olive oil goes a long ways on those fries. If you put the oil in a plastic bag with spices and shake and then add the "fries" and shake well again it coats them very nicely. Watch them close though as they burn easily (though I like them a little burnt - tastes more like fries).

Ok, I added you...sorry I missed you before. I love that you brought an orange to the movies! I actually think I cant go to the movies without getting a little popcorn (no added butter, though). Or maybe I could bring my own 94% fat free popcorn (smuggled in my large purse!) I soooo need to re think some of my habits.

YAY you for going to the gym today! :cheer2:
I am perched atop my BIG pilates Ball of doom and I stick my feet under the computer armoire and after evrey post I read I do 5 big-time sit ups!!!! Look how SKINNY my abs are (compaired to my lower half!:scared: )

I'm on my second 64 oz. of "water" (grape Crystal Lite this time) and I have taken my vitamins.

OH! I forgot to tell you guys, my TIGHT 16's are getting LOOSE!!!!!:woohoo: Which is weird since I've only lost 1/2 lb. in like 4 weeks! I'll take it though! Which means I'll be in 14's by next month...then 12's....then 10's!!!! Then I'll be DONE and have to MAINTAIN instead of GAIN or get pregnant (Ka-CHOWW!)

I spent 2 1/2 hrs in a basement with 40 kids ages 6 wks through 3 yrs old today because of tornados in the area and have a massive headache.I am going to lie down until the kids get home.

See ya'll!

You poor baby. Just click your heels and repeat,"There's no place like home!"
Seriously though, I hope everyone's OK, and I think you deserve a medal for going through that. How about a Nobel-ly prize for a skinny Minnie?

I dont believe I sprayed the pan.. hmmm not sure.. I bought one of those pump aerosal things to put the olive oil in... and now a little goes a long way!!
 
Attention ladies: al of you that did not loose any weight over the holidays...................PUT DOWN THE HAMMER!!!!

The fact the "Normal" folk gain weight over the holiday sin a major way , do't forget that!!!!

I know it is short of a miralce just to maintain weight as most of us are baking, visiting or just plain running our little mad heads off during holiday season and are not very effiecient at food awareness!!

SO drop the hammers unless you are using them to do arm curls, if so might I suggest a large can of vegetables instead!!!

SO, the fact that you are in today ..............COUNTS !!!!! OK now lets all toast to the new week ahead with some lovely H20...its my new fav drink....yeah right!! I am drinking it though I do not want to anger the Peeps Gods and have them send me another 20 situps!!!


OMG I FORGOT TO CONGRATS TWINKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WAY TO GO YOU JUST ROCK GIRL!!!!!:rotfl:
 
My goodness! Did I ever have some catching up to do! But I am caught up for the time being. (Probably not by the time I post this.)

UM ~ I still need to weigh in. This will be my first weigh in. And I will do it when I get home. Here's the story...

DH and I went out to dinner, and I had fish (Chilean Sea Bass to be exact) because I thought that I wouldn't get that awful stuffed feeling if I ate something light, and I like seafood. I ate all the asparagus and all the fish, but only about half of the mashed potatoes (if that). And I, of course, had my creme brulee (amaretto, mmmmm). I don't know what happened between the time I finished my creme brulee and the time I stood up, but there it was...the if-I-eat-another-bite-I-will-explode feeling! I was miserable. We ran by DH's grandparent's house to pick up my gifts from them and his aunt, who lives there and always bakes us something for our b-days. Mine is usually coconut cake (made with applesauce instead of oil), which I LOOOOOOOOVE. She didn't have what she needed to make it so I got brownies instead. Better yet, she keeps forgetting that I don't like nuts in brownies, so she only made about 6 without (for Josh). I was too stuffed to eat any last night. I will have one tonight. (I said it so now I have to follow through. ;)) So, this morning I get on the scale, (which I tested out for the first time on Monday and was at the same weight then that I was at the last time I went to the doctor's office) and I am up 2-ish pounds since Monday. This may be right, but I am weighing again when I get home just in case I was still carrying some of last night's dinner around with me this morning. :rotfl: I have been pretty darn good today, especially considering there are leftovers here from food day yesterday. I had oatmeal and a yogurt smoothie for breakfast, then 1/2 of a chocolate cake donut when I got here (yes, I Dis at work too), SBD wraps for lunch and about 2-3 small bites of coconut cream pie (without the whipped cream), and when Mom takes us to dinner tonight, I think I will request Chili's, where I will have a dinner salad and some chips and salsa (already checked the calories on Calorie King). I think I will eat my one brownie before dinner so that I am not eating at 8 or 9 pm when we get home from dinner. I figure better to eat it earlier and have time to burn some of it off. And I am drinking lots of water today as well.

I was feeling a bit down last night and earlier this morning because my b-day made me think about some of our future plans, and I became overwhelmed and didn't really get a chance to talk about it with DH (which usually helps). Maybe tonight after dinner we can talk a bit, and I will feel much better. In the meantime, I am not using food to make me feel better!

To all those other January birthday girls...
Happy Birthday!!!

I LOVE the idea of the meet! I would love to be there on my b-day too, although I'm not sure that would work. I know that it is highly unlikey that DH can attend as his dealership is currently having its second annual month-long sale that means ridiculous hours for him and no days off besides Sundays (Thank goodness for blue laws!) I would like to try and make it there myself, but I don't know for sure at this point if that will be possible. I will say that I am in if I can do it. :)

To all those with ailments or kids with ailments, I hope you are all feeling better very soon! :grouphug:

I'll check back in later with my official weigh in amount! Keep on slimming all! Have a skinny day! :goodvibes

And Budweiser!...oops I mean Bud Light!
 
First off I am really happy to see all the interest in the 5k walk in Jan.08.:cheer2: I am really needing something to look forward to .:)

Congrats to all the losers this week:woohoo: Everyone that stayed the same or gained Don't give up!!!

Today was pretty stressful.We were evacuated to the church basement across the street from the daycare for about 2 1/2 hours.:scared1: Most of the kids are too young to be scared but some(like my DD2)were pretty unnerved.My kids and Harley's were in the hall at their school for about an hour.We had three touchdowns in our county by tornados and there is some severe damage.One of the worst is only a few miles from where my parents live.
Today at lunch they brought in pizza and I wanted it soooo bad but only ate one bite of Rachel's.:cheer2: This weekend my dad is taking me out to lunch(mexican Mmmmmmm:cloud9: )and then people are coming over for cake and icecream.Hopefully I won't do too much damage...I want to show a LOSS next Friday.

One of my kids in my class brought in sweet potato fries today and I really wanted to try one but couldn't.I am going to try those next.She also brought in dehydrated snap peas.They looked gross but the little boy ate them and he is VERY picky.

dwheatl,Thank you for the medal.:goodvibes I am proud of you for getting to the gym.Give yourself one of those medals.

UM,don't you love it when your pants get loose...that is the best feeling.:thumbsup2 Yesterday my pants were loose but today this pair is snug.I only have two pair that fit right now.but Aunt Flo is here...

Monymony,you and your friend are in my prayers.

spongemommie,I hope your DD's dentist surgery went okay.

Melinda,I love that kind of detergent but I haven't been able to find it in "he" and that is what I have to use with my washer.
