Hey Lil... you can suck with me. ;)

I think I'm having sympathy PMS this week. If I could gouge my boss' eyes out with a toothpick I would. I mean, I'm sure I could do it - I just don't think he's worth spending the remainder of my life in prison.

maddy, want me to do it for you? I bet we could get away with it. :D ;)

Oh...and Lil...can I have some Oreos, too? :D :)

LOL at all of you!!!

thanks Lil for your positive energy and thoughts ... it is sooooo very appreciated.

sending hugs to osuche, Lil and maddy .... sorry you're having a rough time of it currently .... I feel your pain and know my time is coming in another couple of weeks again... hope you enjoy those oreos too!!!

maddy and osuche .. maybe we could work a deal in this .... rotate the bosses and it would be that much more likely we could all get away with it :D :)

ending my day well again ... and I am still so grateful ... don't know how this is working so well for me this time around, but I'm more than happy to accept the good fortune! had just over 1700 calories for the day, did half of my usual exercise routine because it was also my laundromat day and by the time I finish that there wasn't much time left ... I'm proud of myself for doing anything, since this is the first time I've managed to do that ... also added some steps into my day again ... still not much, but I'm trying to be consistent at least!

Aqua .. always good to see you peaking in on the thread!

Well, I just returned from my appointment this morning. I was expecting my regular three-month bloodwork, but the doctor wants to hold off until June, since I just stopped taking my diabetes medication in March. If my numbers (which, according to the doctor are "terrific for a NON-diabetic person") hold out, I'll be on a six-month check-up rotation, and I may only have to check my sugars once a day.

((((IAKG)))) ~~ congrats!! I am so happy for you, Ms. Non-Diabetic. :)

fzzy -- I figure the least I can do is help with your boss, too. :p

As for me...ended the day just under 2000 calories (which is good for a pre-Hut day) and I also worked out...a light day at 450 calories at the gym. But at least it's better than nothing! :)

Got some bad news yesterday...seems the blisters in my mouth are form an impacted/infected salivary gland(s) which an ear, nose, and throat specialist told me will need to be removed. I'm scheduling my "surgery" (outpatient) today and I'll update you all when I know more.

Hope everyone has a great day!

Hello Everyone :)

Sure have missed this thread.. have been away from the pc for a few days... and am playing catch up. :)

Lil... Glad to hear that your Doc was pleased with your loss... and I am sure that their encouragment helped to keep you motivated and on track. I am looking forward to the first Doc visit... tho I think I will wait until I have lost another 25 or so before I schedule. I want my Doc to do the "double take" looking at me.. then my file... then me.. then my file. LOL I look forward to it.

Osuche... (((Hugs))) the HUT is never a good thing... add to it the stresses of weightloss and our own self imposed restrictions... it is no wonder that women can't use dieting as a legal defense. LOL Thankfully it only arrives once monthly... Good luck with the blisters.. OUCH!! Be well... and soon..

fzzy... I think that you are completely on the right track... consistency is important... not always easy... but hey.. if the tortoise beat the hare, anything is possible :)


IAKG.... that is fantastic news... it is amazing what weight loss and eating better can do for your health.. the process is slow but I do believe it is worthwhile.... Not to mention... think of all the money we will save with fewer prescriptions and fewer doc visits :)

I hope everyone has a wonderful day tomorrow... I am sending everyone Skinny Vibes... happy thoughts...

Hugs...

Good to see you back jenna!

I was a bit out of control this evening ... went over by about 300 or so calories, gratefully, I've been doing good the rest of the week, so it averages out ok ... just had a couple of hours when I was feeling really hungry and couldn't seem to get past that ... then when I did ... i was stuffffffffed! I guess it's like that sometimes. Anyway, tomorrow is another day and I'll do better! Hope you all have a great GOOD FRIDAY! :)

I'm off for a week long vacation this evening. I won't have the opportunity to check in on y'all. This week hasn't been the greatest for me due to my lack of planning. I now have confirmed to myself how important planning is for me.

I had a shock on the scale this morning. It dropped about 9 lbs from where it has been all week. I had to pop the battery out to get a more accurate reading. I think it might be time to either get a new battery or a new scale if it keeps this routine up. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the number but thought it wasn't likely I lost 9 lbs in 24 hours.

Good luck for the next week everyone.

I think I would faint if the scale showed me down 9 lbs. overnight. :)

My weigh-in this morning has me down 2.0 lbs. from last Friday, 0.5 lbs. down from the Friday before that. Of course, last week I was just entering the Hut, so that was understandable. I'm trying not to be down about this week's reading, as I went to the gym four nights and walked during lunch two days, but it's difficult. I know I'm at a plateau, and I may have to break into the Wendie Plan soon (or something else, although I don't know what) to get moving again.

I am down two lbs this week myself...and it's Hut week! I have to think that it's a phenomenon I've noticed...that my weight reflects much more what I did LAST week than it does what I did THIS week. I think my body (and mind!) are on a one week time lag. :p

Other than that, I was bad again...2100 calories. Mostly because I ate two lunches (3 hrs apart). I just couldn't get full.

Hope everyone has a great day.

You guys are doing so well!

I'm also in the Hut but h ave managed to lose weight, too. I've been walking a lot more. I have to prepare for my 20,000th post. ;)

Well, OK..the 2 lbs I lost this week are back on the scale today, and I HATE the Hut. <sigh>

Next wek will be better, right?

Hope everyone else is doing well.

man have I missed pixies the last couple of days .. I was totally misbehaving over the weekend ... overate every day ... now I'm back on track today though ... started good yesterday, but didn't finish the way I should have ... but like I said ... today is a better day ...

osuche, hope you've recovered from the end of last week!

hope you all did better than me ... I think it was something about Easter that threw me ... traditionally for me, there are 3 big holidays for food, of course T-day and Christmas, but Easter is as well, the problem is that for Easter, it's all about the goodies ... oooopppps!

Hope you are all great! so glad to have our Pixies back on line!!!

I'm still up about 2 lbs, but otherwise doing well. I hope to be back on track by the end of the week...my period is set to end on Thursday.

Hope no one fell completely off the wagon while Pixies was on hiatus.

Glad to see fzzy is back on track. :)
