Hello everyone just wanted to stop by and say "HI" to all.
Beautiful day today near 40...wow and then comes the snow again. YUCK
I have been looking for 3 days now for 2 pair of shoes that I had bought a few months ago. Well...think that I tossed them in the garbage by mistake
and now have to buy new ones.
It sure is crappy to get old and lose your mind....now what was I doing?????

That sounds yummy. Melting Pot is soooo goood.

Shaun & I started a diet yesterday...no Melting Pot for me anytime soon

I love your new signature btw.

thank you!

I am starting back on Atkins tomorrow! I haven't even purchased my Atkins-friendly food, but you know, there has been a lot of chaos in my life the past couple of weeks, and when I was dieting before I at least felt like I had some control. I want that back again! I may not have control over certain things that happen to me, but at least I can control what I eat. Ya know?

What kind of diet are you doing?

See, I lurk on some of the various chat-threads & WMDoc said in that one post that that *other* Chatters thread was the most current...
see, that's what I get for listening to the experts.
Glad you all found each other.

We are taking the slow approach into the dieting game and just making smart choices. We are cutting out soda completely. My work cafeteria is undergoing renoventions so the only thing I will eat in the make shift cafeteria is a salad so I'm eating a much better lunch. And no more eating out.

We are also looking for apartment communities with a fitness center for when we move so we can start doing that.

Hey, lady! Welcome to Mad Chatters!

I have seen you around the CBs over the past couple years! Tell us all about yourself. And I love that you always include an exclamation point after your name!

Sounds like a good start, Melissa! I wish you both luck! I lost 20 pounds since Christmas, but then gained back 8 on our WDW trip. Now I feel like I have to start all over again! But I did enjoy me some delicious food in WDW!

We just had KFC for dinner (DH just brought it home). I am STUFFED. That's my last fast food meal for a while!

Hi Shirley!

You chucked your SHOES??? Oh no!! What did your DH have to say about THAT?

Hi Lovey...DH has nothing to say I do believe it was he who lost them. These were Nike's that they no longer make and I had bought them on sale. The only shoes that seem to fit and don't hurt my feet.
Diet...OH NO is it time for them again???? Think that I will just think thin and see if that works. Shirley
Hi Mel how's it going?

Aww the last meal is always so nice.
At least you enjoyed your Disney trip though? Shaun & I are going for a weekend in October to focus solely on Food and Wine, where we won't really be on a diet either. Too much Food & Wine for me.

Hi Mel how's it going?

Your cruise is coming up soon! Are you in bikini shape? Girl, I would never wear a bikini, even if I reached my 100 pound weight loss goal. I would need a serious tummy tuck!

Think thin! I like that idea.

Its going fine so far...we're only on day 2 & I still don't own a scale...I'm judging by how my pants feel.

The greeting on my cell phone reads, "Looking Skinny!" it's to encourage me!

I also put a bunch of signs around my house with that old saying, "Nothing tastes as good as being thin feels". We'll see if I can get back in the zone!

We can do it!

Yes we can!

Those are good motivators.

I'm glad Shaun is doing it with me as otherwise I would fail without support at home. Plus we are going grocery shopping together so it helps us shop better

 

[MinnyGranny62]

Talk to you Gals tomorrow...I am off to get something to eat. had a late lunch at Mongolian BBQ with DD and family. OMG was that ever good but all of this talk of food...belly starting to make noises.
Welcome AGNAS!! Did I get the name right or did I forget again.
Bye Bye Gals Shirley

You're lucky! I wish my DH would do it with me too. It would help keep me motivated.

We both want to get closer to where we were when we started dating.

This is how skinny I was then: (I'm in the middle)

 

[MinnyGranny62]

Bikini....I am 5ft 1in and weigh***although I did lose a couple of lbs when I was sick. Bikini

Good for you Mel and keep up the good work.

Wow, Melissa, you look really good! How long ago was that pic taken? I like how you are all wearing DIS green!

I don't even have any "skinny pictures" on my computer. I have not been thin since before we had our first digital camera. It's been YEARS!

THanks. Back then, it was Robotics Green to me as it was my team's color.
That was 4 years ago, at the end of high school. I stayed that weight basically until half way through college & been gaining since then.
