    My (new) ring came today! OMG, it's so amazing. Seriously, out of all the rings I looked at online and in person, this is *by far* my favorite. I think it's just perfect and couldn't be happier with it. ^_^

    Apparently I exaggerated a little about the calories in avocado, sorry! I just put 28g on my wrap and it was 45 calories. :smile:

    Well with my hubby reuniting with his family this last November we have made several trips up there since then. So I am sure there are bound to be lots more times that I will be up there.

    Yea I told Bobby I REFUSE to put any of the expenses on our credit card or take out any loan to pay for the wedding. I hear a lot of people do that and I think its just crazy!!! The ring is now on my credit card though....I hate having any type of balance on my card and the ring is the only thing on my credit card because Bobby has been laid off for the last 5 weeks....did I mention that was another thing stressing me out?! Job loss and balance on my credit card.

    He goes back to work tomorrow...I will be so happy when hes back in a regular routine, he just sits around the house and does nothing but watch tv all day. Im like uhm go do something u dont have to work but you can still be productive....ugh so glad its over! Plus the bills started catching up to us this past week, so hes going back just in time!

    OMG Cris, it's a wonder you're still functioning! Seriously, you are dealing with some HUGE stress factors. I agree with lstpaul - the one thing you can control is your food and exercise. Use that as a positive addiction!

    Oh Julie, the ring is absolutely GORGEOUS! And you could be a hand model! :wink:

    I just spent three hours taking my father on a marathon shopping adventure. Ooofta. He is 84 - 85 next month - and when he gets his mind on a goal that involves a good deal, we must accomplish it! :noway:

    NOW I am off to the elliptical! LOL Finally!

    OK I realized you all might be thinking that my pic is of the new dress. It's not! LOL This is a pic from two years ago. LOL I realized after posting it that you all may think it was the smaller sized dress for the wedding. Ooops! This is actually a before pic. I didn't take any of me at the wedding, but I guess I better put the dress back on and compare it to the one I have posted now!

    And those are two of my brothers. We are all three professional musicians. The one seated, David, weighed more than me at one time. He was at 500 pounds a few years ago. He lost it through strict diet (vegetarian) and exercise.

    I will be gone on the 4th too ...

    Awestfall - Here is your "uplifting" YOu can do it...get back on that wagon YOu will do great , you can do it and you will be there for your children, grandchildren, and great-grandchilden, heck maybe even great-great -grandchildren.

    pick up serena and she has peed in her pants for like the 5th day in a row...just want her to be good and do what other 7 yr olds. Part of me wonders if the peein in her pants has to do with her other behavior problems, she knows how to go and when she needs to go, she just doesn't see it to be important or want to stop what she is doing..maybe the psyc will have some insight...okay i am done venting ...jsut had to do that.

    Okay, Missy!! You can do it! You know you can just throw all that CRAPPY food away!!! Just remember that you are doing this for yourself so that you can be there for your kids. You have been making good decisions for yourself and your family and you have lost 36 lbs so far! Starting over tomorrow is the best thing! Forget about what happened in the last 2 weeks and start fresh. We all know you can do it!!

    awestfall - if it's any consolation, the last week of food has been terrible for me, too. We have to do this. It's not an option, and you and I and all of us know it. Don't look back, even for a tiny second of woulda coulda shouldas. Focus only on today and tomorrow. YOU CAN DO IT! :heart: :heart: :heart: WE LOVE YOU!!! :heart: :heart: :heart:

    And now, just to cheer awestfall up, I give you the following admission.

    lildeb - Sorry about Serena! I sure hope that the new doc can help you and her.

    Check in
    Calories: Over ( Celebrated my grandpa's 75th bday!)
    Water: 80 oz - Not as good as usual
    Exercise: Big fat 0
    Proud: Not of much

    So I know I just tried to give Ann a pep talk but I should be telling myself that. I need to get my butt in gear! I have at least gotten back to my Memorial Day weight, so that is a good thing. Well tomorrow I will be working out and burning more than my fair share of calories. Yard work and cleaning the house. My cousin usually helps me with our yard work but he is too worn out for football practice and do work at our chiro's house. So work, work, work for me! Talk to you all tomorrow!

    Nancy - ROFL...you are too funny..not on the elliptcial but on the arc trainer...i was soo hoping nobody noticed :embarassed:

    Raider - Thanks !! It just is soo frustraing, during the school year she got in so much other trouble, she did have accidents at school, every now and then , but every day this week..i just don't get why she does it...the little one 1/2 her age and hardly has accidents...I was reading on the internet about other family that have this issue and no solutions....made me even more depressed.

    I feel soo bloated , we had a ham skillet bake , i know ham has lost of sodium but dang...didn't think that much...I have a feeling my "big" loss that i was hoping for isn't going to happen:sad: :sad: :sad: I guess we will see in the morning

    Nancy - HILARIOUS!!! And I'm pretty sure I've farted on every aerobic machine at the gym. You're all loose....things happen!
    Ann - :heart: :heart: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :heart: :heart: Tomorrow is another day. Get it!
    LilDeb - Thinking of you and Serena.
    LittleSpy - Have a fabulous honeymoon!!!

    Checking in for today:
    Cals: Under
    Water: 64 oz
    Exercise: 1 hr of yoga
    Proud: Yoga felt good. Also encouraging my mom to log her food here. She's carolfarell if anyone wants to be her friend. She's heard all about you all. :happy: I guess I should tell her that I'm giving away her screen name so that if she gets any invites, she knows what's going on! :laugh:

    Can't say I've passed gas at the gym. But, I've been well aware that people around me were. :laugh: Seems like a common occurrence.

    I'm exhausted. It's after 3am. I think I'm too excited to sleep. Plus I'm waiting for some laundry to finish drying. I'm the worst packer ever. I want to take way too many clothes and just way too much stuff in general. It's like I think there isn't going to be a Walmart or pharmacy for like hundreds of miles. I've even packed a stupid roll of toilet paper. I've had a mini breakthrough though. I've realized it's hot as hell, I'm going to be at the beach, and I don't want a farmer's tan any worse than the one I have now so I'm forcing myself to wear tank tops/sleeveless shirts the whole time. Even tomorrow. I hate my upper arms so much I won't even wear a tank top to the gym or to play tennis. But I have one packed for every day and only 2 tshirts so I just won't have a choice. :tongue:

    I need to force myself to at least lie down because I can only sleep until 8.30 or so at the latest so I can get Mo & Kid to their sitter's house around 10. They have an in-ground swimming pool so I have to stay there until my dogs fall in to fish them out. She kennels & fosters lots of dogs (and they have 4 greyhounds of their own) and she says they ALL get too curious & fall in once but after that they avoid it. I'll have to explain to her that my Kid is a very *special* boy so it's likely he'll fall in more than just the once. :laugh: He's a bit of an idiot savant. But maybe minus the savant. :laugh: Seriously he's special, but he really is the sweetest boy ever.

    My check in is that I was doing REALLY well today. Cals were 1100something. That is until df made the most delicious looking pizza ever. And that was the end of that 1000 calorie deficit. :laugh: I probably won't have time to check in in the morning so have a great weigh in!

    Hi!
    I'm still here! Just busy and stuff but I'm caught up on the reading!

    I'll try to stop back tonight!!!

    Julie - have a fabulous weekend - we will all live vicariously :tongue:

    We had a light showing for our Thursday Night Dinner and NONE of my picky eater friends showed up so I was able to make a GREAT dish! roasted tomatoes, grilled onions and red and yellow bell peppers, sauteed mushrooms with rosemary, steamed summer squash, zucchini, and asparagus -all tossed together with olive oil and fresh herbs from the garden (thyme, basil, oregano) and served with grilled jumbo shrimp!

    gotta go to work :heart: :heart: :heart: :love: :heart: :heart: :heart:

    OH! - Alex (15 yr old grandson) got here last night and is here for the summer, Meghan gets here next week (17 yr old granddaughter) and will be here for ever!:drinker:

    Happy Friday everyone !!!

    I guess I will be 1st to weigh in...Not as great as i hoped but i know i have major sodium from last night due to ham i had (like 1100 mg over), my scale was all over the place this morning...i think it is obsessed...even my little one got on and was telling her 4 lbs over what she usally is...then hubby would get on after me and be exactly what i was...after much fluctation, i agreed on 271.6, so that is 2.5 lbs

    lildebbie......-2.5........0.91%

    EDit: Went ahead and took my measurements, Didn't loose any inches in boobs/arms /legs, but lost .5 inch in my waist, .4 inch in my hips and 1 inch in my gut...that is 2inches in 1 week!!!!!!

    Only down 1.6 from last week. I'm going to focus on the fact that it's still a loss! I'm not going to lose 4 pounds every week :) And while I'm not down as much as I'd like to be, I'm feeling pretty good. I'm super sore from rugby on Wednesday.

    No matter how little the negative number is that I log every week, the weight loss ticker goes up!

    Happy Friday, ladies :)

    I do have time to check in! Way to go to all the losers today! tstout -- 1.6 pounds in a week after a 4 pound week is FREAKING AMAZING! I don't have 4 pound weeks anymore but even when I did they were usually surrounded by roughly 1 pound weeks. I'd pee my pants if I had even 2 2 pound weeks in a row at this point. :tongue:

    ildebbie......-2.5........0.91%
    tstout.........-1.6.........0.67%
    Jessica.......0............0%
    Littlespy......-2.4........1.21%

    Yep 2.4 is my *big* loss for the month. I'll take it, especially considering I had 3 pieces of olive loaded pizza at 1am and my TOM is expected any day now. :laugh:

    Happy Friday! I won't be around much this weekend, but you guys know I can't break my 175+ day streak so I WILL find a way to log into MFP every single bloody day of my honeymoon. :laugh: It is really sad how the log in streak is so important. I'll be okay if I break it though. I *guess*what I'll be doing instead it's worth it. :tongue:
    Happy Friday!

    Good morning all! I've got a half day at work and then we're headed up to Boston for the weekend. There will be lots of beer drinking and tasty food eating, but I'm also planning to go on at least one run. So we'll see. What I'm saying is some of that 4.2 lb loss might creep back on. But it'll creep back on having a great time!!

    Meokk - only gaining 1 lb in Paris is AMAZING! You should really be proud of yourself.
    Jess - Love the new profile pic!
    Tstout - As LittleSpy said, 1.6 is a great loss for a week, especially coming off the big week you had last week.
    LittleDeb - Congrats on the inches!! Your work at the gym is really paying off.

    ildebbie......-2.5 = 0.91%
    tstout...........-1.6 = 0.67%
    Jessica...........0 = 0%
    Littlespy......-2.4 = 1.21%

    Thanks everyone :) This is one of the great things about this group... usually at this point my brain is trying to convince me that we "can't can't can't can't". But now I actually feel GOOD about my 1.6 :)

    Julie - have a great time this weekend and next week!

    In regards to the EFX incident... I've got one for you: Yoga class. Downward dog. Cue COMPLETE EMBARRASSMENT. :) Needless to say, I had to find another class to go to (thankfully, that class was in Ohio so I don't have to worry about seeing that instructor anymore)
