I'm pretty sure after losing 70 lbs or more I should be able to get picked.
I hope. I've never really known how to dress myself.
That would be awesome!! I'm not terrible at dressing but I've always wanted someone to tell me what kind of clothes are best for my body shape! I have a good idea but I'm so indecisive when it comes to clothes- and I refuse to buy any new ones until I'm down to 130...15 lbs to go
You are a lot closer than I am!! I have at least 50 to go. I set my first goal as a normal bmi and I'll see how I feel there.0 -
And I do well picking colours and shapes for how I look right now. I'm a little scared of being the size I was in my early 20's because I don't think skin tight jeans, henleys and suspenders are going to cut it at 44.0

That's my first goal haha 120 is my final goal weight hopefully eventually
nah they won't since it's 2015 but I'm sure you can rock some nice new clothes!! 0 -

By the way @susieq_1994 I unfortunately can never buy speculoos cookie butter EVER again! The jar I bought Monday is gone already, whoops!!

Good advice. I am going to do that and I just out my runners on going to go for a walk and watch the football game when I get back!0 -

I set 140 as my first goal because that's normal at 5'3" I have no idea what my ultimate goal is - it depends on how much my chest shrinks. And I have a fairly large build. And genetically large thighs.0 -

And speaking of strange things - my grandmother had 4 brothers who fought in that war and my mom is named for the only one who didn't come home. But..... She was born 2 years before he was killed.
The other is seeing the ruins of the castle Grant near Iverness.
That is odd. I am sure you'll make it! And you aren't killing the thread!0 -

Look closely (picture 2)...see him peeking at us?
OMG! It's like playing Where's Racoon.
That is just too cute!0 -

And this time it's extra-exciting because I get to buy the ingredients for the Eid desserts I'm going to be making! I can't wait! 
Susie you & I both:D. I love to try & find the new food items I find on The Impulsive Buy website & usually get pouty when I can't. What are you most looking forward to buying?
A coworker said Ben & Jerry's has their Cotton Candy flavor out for the summer & I will have to try & find that eventually.
Ice cream! I got plenty more of the new flavors I mentioned before today (Speculoos, Red Velvet Cheesecake, and Mint Chocolate Crunch). The other ingredients I bought are pretty plain, but they combine to make AMAZING desserts, so that's what I'm most excited about.
For me, going to the supermarket isn't about buying new or exciting stuff, usually: I'm rather obstinate about buying the EXACT SAME foods from the EXACT SAME brands every single time. I just love the supermarket and the atmosphere and the colorful packaging everywhere and the bread smells from the bakery section and the spacey, open aisles and.. and.. Sigh. It's just so wonderful!
I hate the supermarket. It confuses me and I can never find what I want. It's one of my least favorite places to be.0 -
I didn't get into hogwarts. That makes me a little sad.
After all my user name is a witch.0 -
I hope you have a really good half ironman this weekend Patricia!!0

Do I have a special name? Just wondering haha! 0 -
Oh, after browsing around Academy this evening, I finally picked out what I want as an anniversary gift this year: a bike with appropriate gear, a seat for Raelynn to ride in along with gear for her, and more workout clothes! I was wanting to go to Charleston or Hilton Head again, but I'd rather have the bike and workout clothes now lol! I'll have to get it all next week sometime since that check will be bigger and more spending money, but it still counts!
I'm excited, and still amazed I found someone willing to deal with me and all my issues. 4 years married August 8th, together 5 years November 15th (and yes we celebrate both), and he still makes me fall in love with him more every single day. ❤️
(Ahem, by the way, @TigerNY128 Raelynn and I will be in Greenville again on Wednesday! ) 0 -

I didn't either. Was so sad.0 -
How do I tell my DOH! that the dress I bought at the thrift shop today is the same one I donated 8 months ago because I couldn't squeeze into it?0

I am in a 2 day finance conference next week...which sucks for many reasons...mainly, the fact that I'm in a 2 day finance conference! Lol. I think it's Tuesday and Wednesday but I'll let you know for sure when I know! We definitely need to meet up sometime!!!0 -
Hey @Susieq_1994, I have a couple more questions that just popped into my head. So I was wondering, since you were sick, do you get a special exclusion from prayers, or do you have to make them up later (I think you mentioned it before)?
Also, I've been watching The Ashes (cricket for those who don't know) and one of the English players, Moeen Ali, is a Muslim, and I read an article saying that he is observing Ramadan. I don't know that I've ever seen him take a drink during the drinks breaks, but it has been unseasonably hot (well, the English definition of the word "hot"), so I was wondering if he would also have to "make up" fasting when the series is over?0 -

Tough love ahead:
GET OFF THE SOFA! Go for a walk or a swim or something, so you have something to tell little man when he gets back. Otherwise he'll soon cotton on you're miserable when he's not there and that's not a burden he should be carrying. Make use of this time to look after you. So he comes back to the best you possible, relaxed and refreshed, not sick and guilty
Eta: sorry, that might be a bit late0 -

Another woosh last night so I’m only 2 lb away from my first goal now. That’s nice, but all I can see is how far I have left to go
And…would this bother anyone else? My brother in law gave us his car to either keep or sell and use the $ for the boy’s college tuition fund. I was thinking I’d drive it and sell mine. DH was off work yesterday and went and registered it at the Secretary of State. I realized if I sell my car, I will have nothing in my name. Bills, utilities, credit cards are in his name, his car is in his name, mine is in mine, but if I keep BIL’s car, it’s all in his name. It vaguely bothers me, like it’s the 1950’s and everything has to be in the man’s name. I work, I make 2/3 of what he does, but I contribute significantly. Am I being weird about this?
I don't think you're being weird. I feel there is nothing wrong with wanting some independence, even within a relationship.0 -
@pofoster21 i hope the half goes well, I know you'll do well, you are awesome and such an inspiration0

Okay four weeks from today I'm headed to the UK!!!! Strictly staying under calories and doing my workouts until London!! Woot woot!!
Wahoo!!!!
@Glinda1971, I hope you get to cross those two things off your bucket list!
@riderfangal, I know it's the next morning now...but hopefully someone helped motivate you to get off the couch...and stay away from the peanut butter!!! It's the devil! 0 -

We couldn't walk away! I wanted to just watch him the whole time. And who knew that raccoons loved marshmallows? I certainly didn't! Learn something new every day!How do I tell my DOH! that the dress I bought at the thrift shop today is the same one I donated 8 months ago because I couldn't squeeze into it?
Haha. I don't know but when you figure it out, let us know.
