HIMI... FLUX.. darnnit your true weight is in ONEDERLAND waiting for you!

CRICKET......thank you! yes i will!!!! put on m' no-carb i-mean-business game face grrrr.....i pity the fool
no bottling up THIS sunshine
oh....btw.....my son zac makes some awesome matzo ball soup

HIMI......i'm sorry that stupid trampoline bounced you back outta onederland! that happens though, so when it was my turn i didn't feel secure until i was 195ish

TAM.....you took the win by a nose! congrats

Its OK, rings are tight and had a blazing headache this afternoon, so I am confident in the temporary-ness of the bounce-- ONE-derland is still in there just waiting to re-appear

YEEESSSS ! WE ARE WOMEN..HEAR US RROOAARRRR!
WE each, have withiin us, the ability to be advoctes for ourselves. THAT is not being difficult or selfish. ONLY WE can stand up for what WE need.

We will all see people that are not as happy about our successes as we thought they would be . Those that keep sabotaging us are not doing US any favors

. Some cultures ( MINE BIG TIME) want to stuff faces to show love and think that loving back is stuffing our faces . NOT TRUE and do not let that happen anymore . AND there are some that just do not get it.

We need to show some folks that we mean it THIS TIME and will get to and stay where we need to be and want to be . No more excuses Not letting other dictate to us what we can and cannot accomplish

Everyone here has done such amazing things and your growth as team mates is astounding FOOD IS FUEL WE should be able to enjoy AND REMAIN IN CONTROL

BARB... HOPE AND PRAY YOU AND HUBBY ARE OK. WE miss you!

another day hanging in the car well

CRICKET......i hope you were able to get back to sleep!

have a great day ladies

Hi CHRISSIE Better taking a ride than puching that heap around! Tomorrow it will be down..you will get Miss WHooshie visits soon! and NO, I did not get back to sleep. I am dressed and ready to go out when the store opens. I'll drop off my Rx for the next round of eye meds for the 2nd operation today and blow my social secutiry check on WF and HC!

I will be leaving very early in the morning with Jodi to see her spinal surgeon in Ga so not sure about the posting.I probably will since I know I cannot pass the scale without weiging in . Wed. I will not be posting. WIll go looking for a parrot to sit on my shoulder while I wear the eye patch ..AH HOY MATIES
the following day I go back for a check up..so not good with the one eye deal and will stay in bed.. as if THAT is new to me UGH..then the same the following week.So, here is to a messed up week for me once again.. make that 2 weeks and a month on steroid drops etc. My ring is snug everyday in the mornings and it loosens up later in the day AFTER I have had drinks and food of course!
SO, CHrissie, if you or PAULETTE are around to deal with the new charts please do them for at least this week and probably next as well.
Hope eveyone does well.AND by that I mean staying on plan. IF you do that then the body will listen..and PAULETTIE, your will TOO! I think one day you will wake up and drop 5 pounds overnight!

BARB>>> hope you are home safe and sound... was it the 6th you planned to be back? I do not recall if it was Barb or Kathy about that LOA stuff.

HIMI.. you are in Onederland.. only your scale isn't LOL!

TAM, you are geting closer every day. You are losing A LOT. At some point it will be slowing so gear up and stick with it! I KNOW you will do this!
Stay high and dry and be safe!

gotta run

I am very unhappy to be going UP again. But it is my fault. Unable to weigh yesterday I was hopeful, but I wasn't able to get home until late, then I was starved because I did not bring enough food to take me through yesterday afternoon. So I ate at home, then got hungrier and ate some of Ed's smoked sausages, tons of sodium I am sure, and drank an awful lot before bed. So the weight is up and it sucks. but it is what it is and I must deal with it.

I woke up with a stomach ache. I still have it. It is 10:45am now and I am trying to drink a cup of coffee, but I think I am going to throw up. That serves me right, eating so late at night.

I do not plan on eating much today, if I can at all! I have a hamburger patty out thawing for later and I hope to be able to stand it. I am not going to cook up my chicken as planned as I do not feel well.

TAM - Congrats on winning the last game! You did so well!

HIMI - sorry for the bounce out of Onderland, but I am sure tomorrow will give it right back.

CRICKY - Congrats on the .6 lost! I sure hope I have a giant whoosh. I forgot what it is like to lose weight. My TOM came back full force again and it barely ended the other day, so I KNOW my hormones are all fricked up and my weight is reflecting it. sigh. whatever. I am going to call my doc and see if I can get pills for this or something. Boy oh boy, I am very impatient for this whole TOM thing to end. I went a few months without it, and now it won't go away!!!!

CHRISSIE - you go ahead and ride that mobile. I wish I was in it, but I am out pushing your around!

I think I am going to take a nap and see if this stomach ache will go away. Talk at you all later and I hope tomorrow is a better day!!!!

OH POLLYBOO I am so sorry about they tummy all those sausages you really did bounce your body into a tail spin .. don't do the hormone replacements.. just bare with it and who ever siad WOMEN are the WEAKER SEX I am so sorry for that gain.We must be twins ..You remember CHELL..well, we are like that. If I gain so des she .I always know how she is doing without her having to say a thing!
Feel better sweetie

I dyed my hair it should have turned me into Inga's sister It was marked as the lightest color..WHITE and all it did was dull my hair color a tad. SHEESH . Looked better before . It will take a lot of months to get it as light as it once was.I'd go bald by then !

NEWS on Walden Farms... FYI.. I went to their website to price out the stuff for direct sale which SHOULD be cheaper ..now PUBLIX is a great supermarket. .it is also a high priced one . Yes, they will price match and are the greatest service place around yadyadya.. so, I figured that WF site would be cheaper .. well, they get $4.99 per 12 oz bottle.. and Publix is $3.79!!!! So, I did go wild today . I will be pretty much stuck in the house for the next 4 weeks as far a I can tel l, and after that it will be Jodi's turn and guess who will care for her?? considering she pretty much lives here, I guess it is me. SO, I did endulge myself . They have a tomato/basil pasta sauce.. I will melt mozzerela in a dis and add that for a real fast Atkins Pizza! We only eat the toppings anyway and the peanut butter spread and got plenty of the choc syrup and coffee creamer..FR VAN
Also did buy bacon. and will cook it all up. Got chicken livers.. very cheap meal and will do chopped chicken liver..just need celery..so, all stocked up!

BBL

where do you find the walden farms coffee creamers.....in the dairy section??
i looked friday and could not find any
wf makes pasta sauce too

Thanks everyone for the congrats. .4 down, I like a steady down direction but I keep expecting a bounce up anytime. Hopefully not though. Wet and soggy today, but at least this storm is on the way out! There have been 9 deaths contributed to the storm so far, 5 drownings, 4 traffic fatalities. This state is a mess! Praying for everyone affected!
We were expecting Howard's (DH) commission check in the mail today (was mailed Friday from Alabama, so far nothing. May not get anything. Mail is affected by the storms, of course. I hate living check to check. Both our house payment and lot payment were due today, and the place Howard does sales for is always late in getting the checks out for the salesman. Supposed to be getting it by the 25th of each month, instead it is usually not to us until sometime btwn the 5th-15th. Since he is not an hourly employee they aren't required to get the check to him on a certain date. And since we're check to check...it messes us up almost every month! Grrrr...sorry for the rant...at least it wasn't about weigh though

Himi: So sorry about your bounce out of Onederland! Sorry you aren't feeling good. Hope you feel better. I know you will be right back in Onderland soon though.

Chrissie: You'll be off that ride soon and leading the pack again!

Cricket: Goodness you have so much going on in the next few weeks. I hope all procedures for you and Jodi go well and that both of you recover quickly. Great news about your .6 down! And yes I will be sticking with it, regardless of any stalls. Sorry about the hair color not coming out right.

Barb: I sure hope you are all right and have gotten back home safely on your motorcycle. I wish sometimes we had another way of reaching each other. Well, maybe you do Cricket. Email, maybe?

Kathy: I hope your trip went well, and that you are not in as much turmoil as when you left. Anxious to hear from you!

Paulette: Sorry about the increase, but when we are not at home, sometimes it is hard to control what's going on. I had two years of hell before I finally went through the change. In fact the last time I had my TOM I had gone 6 months without one...thought I was through...but NO, it came back to visit one last time and of course it was when I had already gotten rid of everything I needed. smh I hope you go through it soon, because it is great to be rid of the emotional roller coaster, besides all the physical stuff.

That is all I got...I might BBL, just depends on what's in the mailbox, or not.

TAM - I'm so happy for your continued steady losses! And I know the month-by-month woes way too well. My clients always wait until the very end to send me anything and we go without every time! You guys sure are getting disastrous with the rain! The ocean is dumping on you!

CRICKET - your Publix has great prices for the WF stuff! And such a good variety!!!! I order all my stuff online except for the Chocolate Syrup. Our store does have the pancake syrup and a couple salad dressings, but I don't really use them.

CHRISSIE - I get my WF stuff through VitaCost.com and they seem to have the full line! Even the creamers and pasta sauces. Prices are cheaper than Amazon, and you get free shipping if your order is over $49 I believe. My last order was over $80! Stocked up on creamers, Chocolate and Strawberry syrup and Amazing Mayo. I think I got some of the Cranberry Spread, too since Thanksgiving is on its way and I thought I'd try it.

Well, I just awoke from my nap and I still don't feel well. Ed took a burger patty out to thaw for me but I am not going to make it. So I am going to perhaps a cup of coffee with cream and see if it sticks with me.

I hope tomorrow morning will be better for me!!! You guys have a good night!
