Wow a lot came out over the weekend. Dawn & Dan you know I love ya both. Welcome Nathalie
I took my girls prom dress shopping at the Mall of America on Sat. we spent 6 hours there and I think 4 1/2 were waiting in line for a dressing room. We probably picked the worst weekend to go, they had a Prom show going on and I think every highschool girl in MN was there. We did have success and a lot of fun, plus food, but I will have to work that off this week. Both my girls found beautiful dresses. So it was worth the hours of standing in line and all the junk food.

I am still having troubles with posting pictures, Dan I think you are going to have to come here and help. PLEASEEE.

Well off to catch up on some which I just hate Check in later.

Kat - Actually I'm 5'4" - people say I don't look like I weigh 190. I think it's mostly excess skin.

Can you post your link to your trip report...I would love to read it....

Sure thing. Keep in mind that I've abandoned it for the moment because everytime I post, Tammy decides to post - the mods deleted some of her posts and mine last month.

I am sorry about Tammy. Hopefully it was a decent break up. As far as the new guy...is he what you want?
Today I weigh 350.

Don't be sorry - it was my choice and I'm happy about it.
Yes, he's what I want, but he's not ready for a commitment right now. Which is fine (or so I tell myself. ) since we've only been dating 2 months.
Congrats!!!! Did you have any type of plastic surgery?

Do you have before and current pics?

Sure thing!
This is me two weeks before the surgery (in black):

This is me in late December:

This is me a week or so ago:

Do you guys think a pink cell phone for an overweight 31year old is unprofessional?

Of course it's not! I made myself a winnie the pooh skirt that I wear to work!

Amber, WOW!!! You don't even look like the same person. You are pretty in both places, but what a difference.

Just curious... and you don't have to answer... but do you have a lot of loose skin?


I am trying to decide if I should go to the gym. I am at the tail end of this cold, and I thought last Wed that I was okay and went and I think I pushed myself back a few days in recovering (because Thurs I felt like CRAP!). I think maybe I will wait one more day just to be sure.

 

[MunkyMe13]

Hey everyone! Cleaning hasn't happened yet... LOL! But I got a new bike!!! DH and I are gonna start trying to bike ride now while our weather is good... Its a beautiful day out... Got some new work out pants. They are tighter than I would have liked but I will take a 2x in Target's sizes over a 2x in men's basketball shorts from Walmart! yay!!! Have a good one!

Wow great job...no I haven't had plastic surgery. I probably need to and most likely will eventually.

 

[celerystalker]

Just curious... and you don't have to answer... but do you have a lot of loose skin?

I had huge arms, hips and thighs -
my arms pretty much are like wings now.
My thighs are still pretty big in comparison to the rest of me - some loose skin, but also some more fat that needs to go.
My stomach isn't too bad.

My main dilemma is that I'd like to have a kid in the next few years, so even thinking about plastic surgery is a waste.

Hi Nat--I think I missed what it is you do for work? I totally hear ya about being too beat to cook sometimes. Whenever I make a great soup or healthy casserole, etc. I have learned to just double the recipe and throw the extra batch right in the freezer...makes life SO much easier. I am also a huge fan of my crock pot! I always find that have 20-30 minutes in the morning or earlier in the day...but once the kids get home, I am swamped and it gets really hard to find time to cook!

Hope you can get in some down time now.

 

[MunkyMe13]

Hi Hi!
Cleaning still hasn't really happened... I lasted about 10 minutes on the bike and my lower region was killing me... Seriously I think I am not built for a bike.. LOL... I will try again next weekend. I am not giving up on this... Keep moving forward right?? LOL!

 

[goofyfan-12]

Hi Gang...

You take off for one weekend to catch up on life at home and look at what you miss... new folks, folks in love, folks coming out, etc....I LOVE THIS BOARD!!!!

Grumps and Dawn.... I am soooo happy for you both. It sounded as though you were both looking for that special someone and have found that in each other. Congratulations...

I am still trying to catch up on everything else, but I have to admit, it is a lot to take in and its late. Hope all is weel with everyone and I'll talk to you all in the morning.

Goof

The town that I live in is 90% French... so where I work is an organization for the English speaking comunity. We organize events (in English) for them to get information and to get out of their homes. I also give seniors computer courses (basic emails etc.) Help them get information about what's going on in town, write up the Newsletters etc... It's a lot of work and it changes all the time depending on the need of the comunity.
But I love it!!! The only thing is that March is our end of the year and it chaos! So I'm really tired and can't wait for March to be over with ha!

 

[MunkyMe13]

So cleaning just didn't happen... I tried doing the Biggest Loser Cardio Max dvd... OMG... The warm up damn near killed me... LOL! I did that, 10 minutes of part one and the cool down... 20 minutes total! I thought I was going to die... At least I did 20 tho... LOL! Combined with my 10 minutes of bike riding I got 30 minutes of cardio today... Have a good night all!

 

[Pixieshouse]

Someone just told me about the biggest looser cardio and core dvds. I am headed to Fred Meyers tomorrow to see if they have them. If not Amazon does and I am making that order!

I want to do about 10 minutes of core before bed and then when I get up as well. So this might be the way to toture this body into shape

O.K. I can't sleep. The ususal. So, I am here trying to get caught up. And what to my wondererous eyes should appear.. I'm on page 107, skipped a little and now on 117. We've had all the signals that something I know you guys have taught me sumpin was going on and thought something was up, but I was/am still trying to follow the posts, thought it was posted, confused and tense about Grumps post, hoping and yes. It is Grumps!! Yes Dawn Yes!! So happy. Is there a condensed version. A nut shell. The posts that were clues. Well, we knew about the phone calls and the long absences from the board. O.K., I'll go back and read 107-117. I am tired and so happy and excited. I am such a romantic, I'll calm down, but I'm so happy!!

 

[3DisneyKids]

Wake up sleepy heads! Where is everyone this morning...?? At the gym, I hope!

 

[HockeyKat]

Okay, yesterday was interesting.

To start, here is my food for yesterday:
L: omelette w/ turkey sausage, onion, 2% cheddar, egg beaters (200), one slice toast (50), sf pudding (60)
D: 3 16 oz miller lites (380), 1 slice sf angel food cake (120)

So, as you can see... I skipped dinner. This is because at 6:15 when I was headed out to the store, I backed into my n'bors car which was parked nose into the curb next to my driveway, and thanks to a combo of a HUGE blind spot in my SUV and just plain not paying attention... whammo! Thankfully I just chipped the paint a bit on their bumper, and scraped some paint off mine. However, this made me 20 min late (as I had to ring their doorbell and eat crow), and I got home from the store at 7:45 instead of 7:25 (when hubby gets home).

This lateness becomes important because we had decided to run cat-5 (ethernet cable, to hard-wire his computer to the internet rather than using wireless) through the attic last night. We didn't get started until about 8:30, and finished up around 1:30, and wound up with no dinner because somehow being covered in blown insulation and sawdust doesn't make one want to stop and make food. I cut OSB with a power saw and drilled 1" holes in the header, which makes me feel accomplished.

However, I am sore as heck today. Evidently the key to a mini-plateau is eating practically nothing, drinking a bunch of lite beer, not eating, and killing yourself putting holes in the walls, because I was 177 this morning (was hovering around 181-182 all weekend).

I will leave you with one gross thought... if you ever decided to do something like this, I would recommend using a mask. Otherwise, you will be blowing insulation out your nose for at least half a day!!

Good morning to all,

No gym yet, I plan on going this afternoon, hoping Dawn can join me. I took Sara to school this morning, then had an appt. Now I am back in the office and thought I would catch up on what's new with everyone before I start paperwork.

Amber you look great! I wish I would have went through with having the surgery done, but I chickened out. I know about 5 people who have gone through with it and 3 had some complications. They look great know and are very happy they had it done. Did you have many problems?

Dawn sorry about the phone, my plug in does not work in my car. If your on today call.

 

[3DisneyKids]

UGH on the insulation and sawdust! DH is Mr. Handy Man, so I am fortunate never have to do anything like that. I don't even change light bulbs. Seriously.

But AWESOME to the 177! Ok, so you know me...I live in Plateauville... ...I am writing down what you ate yesterday and will follow it! ANYTHING to get of this plateau from HELL! I don't know how much longer I can keep this up if I don't start seeing the scale move.

On to better news....already back from the gym and did double-duty. Ran and did a weight training workout. I am adding a kick-boxing class to the mix this week (not till the end of the week), so that is cool. I have wanted to try it for years. I hear it is an incredible workout!

Ok, back to the Monday morning grind!
