If this is true, it just might explain where all of the nice, polite, un-taken guys have been hiding! Drag him out to do something fun!
It's true. I found dh in his apartment.
Well, the *first* time I met him was at a party a friend of mine was having in a house where Scott lived (so, the party came to him -- he would've had to go somewhere to avoid it and *that* wasn't happening ). Then a year later he moved into an apartment with that same friend.
When I was out at a bar or something I'd get his roommate to call him and ask him to come out and he NEVER did. So I started asking his rooommate to invite me over more often. :laugh:
So, imagine my surprise when he asked me if I wanted to go out tonight! :noway: I honestly think he likes to showoff being married.
Like I'm a trophy wife or something. :laugh: 0 -

the boys got mcdonalds....my son was just playing with his food (my fave) plain cheeseburger...i took a bite...I was about to eat the entire thing since he doesnt want it but I stuck it in my mouth and spit it out. I do NOT want to be out of ONEderland again!!!!
Fiance and I are celebrating 6 years together next wednesday June 30 Since its a weekday we decided to celebrate next fri or sat and we are going to go out to dinner and a movie. I bought a dress a while back for our date....it was my under 200 dress, since initially my goal was to be under 200 by our anniversary (and I did it!) but the motivating factor was that I would be under 200 for our anny and he'd get to take me out in a 'hot' new dress. So anyway the point of all this rambling is that I will not eat poorly until he takes me out for our dinner. I want to look smokin in that dress next friday!!!
hugs,

Julie: You're amazing and even better than just a trophy wife. He should want to show you off and let other guys know they they can't have you!
Jess: Way to go on keeping that guy busy and away from his house! I'm never, ever home it seems, so I have a hard time accepting that some people (all of my boyfriend's friends) NEVER leave home. Weird.
Cris: Congrats on not scarfing down the McDonalds. Though as I type this, I have to tell you it sounded good but that's probably because I'm hungry. You'll be smokin' hot for your anniversary dinner.
I'm sitting here waiting for the bad weather to pass so we can go to the campground and get set up. We're under a tornado watch right now, with a big cell moving in that has produced baseball-sized hail earlier today. Fun, eh?0 -
checking in:
calories- 1208
water- yup
sodium- 2400....boo
excercise- nada...I was going to go to the gym and thought they closed at 11 but they close at 10 so I wont have time
proud- that I did NOT eat McDonalds even though I really really wanted to
Good night gals, be good this weekend!0 -
Thanks gals for the kind comments. I guess when I look at the BIG picture it does add up to 51 inches, 3 sizes and 50 lbs. I guess I just did not realize just how BIG I let myself get and in my mind I thought I appeared smaller! it is good motivation though. I will NEVER let myself go like that again and I already feel so much better with 50lbs gone. I am looking forward to the next 50!
I am soo jealous !!! I have lost 50 lbs an barely down 1 size :sad: Maybe my next 50 will shed more sizes....0 -
COGirl - ABSOLUTELY can tell a difference! Everywhere! Even your haircut! You look GREAT!!! :flowerforyou:
I went out to eat when my initial thought was not to because I haven't been feeling well all day. I blamed it on the no sleep at first, then the espresso, then the potato, then the Fiber One. Bleh. I barely ate 1/2 cup of pasta pomodoro. NOT like me at all! I feel like I am going to BURST!!!!!! :sick:0 -
Cogirl -- I couldn't see the pictures at work but I'm home now and I can totally see a HUGE difference!! Especially in your tummy/hips! But definitely everywhere! It took a long time for me to really really really notice how much I've changed. And only recently have I started actually seeing the change in the mirror anywhere other than my face. And now I see a difference in the mirror or the way my clothes fit with every single pound - it's really kind of weird.
Today as I peed my life away, my pants started becoming uncomfortable. Not because they're too small (they're about 2 sizes too big in the waist, actually) but because my hip bones were rubbing against them. How uncomfortable actually being skinny must be. :laugh:
I wanted to check to see if I had lost as much water weight over the course of the day as I thought I had and, yep, I did! I think I've finally lost all the water I was retaining thanks to sodium. My size 6 ring is actually loose tonight. :noway: It was so tight at some points over the weekend I couldn't even wear it because it was so tight it hurt. Tonight before dinner I weighed 196.4 (with full blown TOM!)! I did bust it at the gym after work and plan on having a couple of beers later so I won't be surprised if I'm not at an all time low in the morning. But 196.4 is definitely the lightest I've ever been at night. I think I may have actually effectively "shocked" my metabolism. :drinker:
AND, my friend who called me last week about health advice has lost 8 pounds since I advised him! I'm so happy for him! I really hope he comes to me if/when he struggles/plateaus. I really want him to be successful at this.0 -
Julie - WTG to kick your metabolism in gear !!!!
Went to spin class tonight, my knee and ankle i thought were going to collapse, but i did iti, burned 471 cals...i could of broken 500 if my knee and ankle weren't hurting soo bad, it took everything just to do it, and not give up, but wasn't increasing resistance much , but still with my other exercise i had like a 900 calorie burn today ...woohoo....!!!!
cals - 2230
Water - not nearly enought like 64 oz
Exercise - 45 min arc trainer + spin class (911)
Proud - That i hit my 50 lbs mark (plus some), it has been a long time coming....13 months wayy too long (of course probably 1/2 those months i wasn't trying), the next 50 lbs WILL NOT take that long

Ok.. had a pretty stressful afternoon on the phone with the mortgage company... Apparently somewhere in the midst of Washington Mutual merging with Chase they messed up our home loan account. Long story short they started paying our taxes and insurance without telling me. So, my insurance and the county sent my checks back and the mortgage company shows a neg balance on our escrow. AND.... they are not suppose to be taking out any escrow since I have paid it for years. After 2 hours on the phone, four different departments and disconnected 2 times I ended up right back where I started... NADA... I am so damn mad right now.
On a good note my honey took the family out for dinner. We went to a place called "jason's deli" OMG it was the BEST!!!
They had tons of organic veggies, crackers and fruit as well as humus, low fat cheese and fat free dressings on their salad bar. I was in heaven.. I will definitely be going back there! It was pretty reasonable to about 7.50 per person!
On another note.. our air conditioning is not working like it should and it looks like I am going to have to get someone out here to give it a little love. I am keeping my fingers crossed it is not too expensive. I guess I should know more next week!
Well, I better get back to my paper work I need to finish before bed
Checkin
Calories... still have a few exercise cal to spare
Water.. great

LilDeb - I am in awe of you and your workouts! You are so inspiring!! I wanna be just like you!
LittleSpy - That's great news about your friend!
CoGirl - Sorry you had a rough day. At least you can take solace in the fact that you look amazing!!
Check-in for today:
Cals - Under at 1145
Water - 72 oz
Exercise - None. Could have gone to the gym, but chose to watch a movie. However, I am planning on going tomorrow morning while Jonathan is brewing.
Proud: I finally found pectin! This is for the red pepper jelly I'll be making tomorrow in preparation for the grits competition. Tomorrow should be a pretty nutty day, full of lots of tasting to make sure everything is right. I'm not making a healthy dish by any means, so I'll try and keep my tastes tiny.
Enjoy your weekend!!0 -
Co Girl-Now I can see the pictures at home and you look absolutely amazing! You can definitely see the difference all over! Jasons Deli is sooo good!! I've never had their salad bar but hearing you talk about it makes me want to. Hope you can get your air conditioner fixed.
LittleSpy-Congrats on the excessive peeing yesterday! :laugh:
Cris-WTG on not eating the McDonalds! You will look smokin hot in your dress!
LilDebbie-Hope your knee and ankle get better. Rest up and maybe put some ice on it. Did you enjoy your date night?
Heather-Be safe camping out in the nasty weather!! Have lots of fun.
blue-Hope you get to feeling better.
I know I missed a few people, sorry. I'm still half asleep but wanted to stop by before I went off to spin class. I didn't check in last night because Mike changed up where we went to eat and of course, they didn't have any nutritional information. GRR!! Off to the gym I go!0 -
jess - dte night is tonight, when myt mom comes and gets the girls.
went to lift class this morning, forgot my hrm (well i had the chest strap and forgot the watch),
We tiffed that i was up over 1 lbs ths morning, maybe yestreday's loss was too good to be true :sad:0 -
Morning Ladies!!
Looks like a Lot of you lost a lot of weight this week!!!! As for me I didn't lose any weigt after all. That 1.5 lbs last Saturday must have been a fluke. Well yesterday was busier than I expected and screwed me up. I went to lunch with a friend and then had pizza for dinner. And that of course put me over and I didn't have anytime to workout because it was GNO and I was running late. So today I going to try harder and get some exercise in. I am sitting at the car shop right now like I have been for the last hour! Argh!! I am reading everything on my phone so I won't be responding individually today but I did read every one of them and I am very proud of all of you!! Hopefully o can lose some weight before going on vacation next Thursday because I am sure that I won't be able to do great during even though I will try. I can't wait till next week to see my niece for the first time and go to my first Rangers game!!
Well gotta go my battery is dying. Hope you all have a great weekend.
Almost forgot 0 loss for me this week.

I have been cranky all morning, and really want to eat (btw a ltitle while go my weight was back down to yesterday morning so that is good)...I am tired of TOM being here and want it to leave asap.
We go to the sunday morning spin class the lady is tough tough !!!!0 -
Jess - I missed all of you too! Every time I had a few secs I wanted to get on the computer but couldn't. :sad: I don't know what I am going to do when I don't talk to you girls for 6 days!!!!! :brokenheart: :brokenheart: I am going to go through withdrawals and I will have a lot to catch up on.
Deb - Hope you have a great date night tonight!! You will find some where to go and find something good to eat. You are a pro at finding something delicious that is good for you when going out! Don't let TOM get you down you are doing great!!0 -

Check in for yesterday:
Calories: Over

Exercise: Some cleaning around the house

Checking in for yesterday:
calories- around 2100
water- no bueno had some at the gym
sodium- surprisingly ok
excercise- w8d3 really thought I'd die
cals burned- 883
proud- I ate all my excercise plus some but I am not stressing it just hitting the gym
again this morning
my weight was 195.2 this morning but I'm not counting it because between sweating, drinking beer and no water I'm sure I'm dehydrated... But 195.2 is my lowest previous weight so it's good to see it again even if it's a fluke it gives me hope that I'll c it for real soon!
Gotta get ready for the gym
Bye0 -
I have a food hangover. :sick: Haven't had one of these in a long time. After I surveyed the damage from last night, I didn't do as horribly as I thought. It wasn't great, but it wasn't horrible like the old Nancy. I am slowly getting better at facing all of my favorites at parties. :ohwell:0

So yesterday I had planned for 3 beers. Then TOM completely took control of my brain and body so I axed the beers and had PRETZEL STICKS DIPPED IN CHOCOLATE FROSTING instead. :laugh: Surprisingly that magnificently delicious little binge only cost me 200 calories.
Today I'm having a kind of free day. Those aren't really dangerous anymore because I have portions under control. I ate chinese food. Hubby made a healthy choice for us! We're in love with the honey chicken from our fav. chinese place. But, oh, it's about the worst thing on the menu nutrition wise. Battered and fried and honey and buttery and OMG. So he decided we should order one healthy dish, steamed chicken and veggies with no MSG & sauce on the side, along with that so we could eat half and half and we'd still get what we want but only eat half as much of it. He's so smart. I love having him more on board. He's even joining MFP. :drinker: I may finally get around to drinking the beer we bought last Saturday.
Going to the gym in the morning because a friend & her mom are driving through my city tomorrow so they want to stop & have dinner with us so I have to make some calorie room. I'm inadvertently zigzagging my calories, but apparently my body thinks that's pretty rad so... that's cool. 0 -
I survived the buffet tonight fairly well. I need to flush out the last two days' worth of high sodium, though! Drink! <---water, that is.

proud: I didn't go over cals at the buffet. Man, those ribs were good! :devil:0 -

I just have another fun neighborhood adventure to share.
I was once again sitting on my front porch. A woman walks by my house, then backs up, bends over immediately under the street light, drops her pants, and urinates on my front lawn. Holy. Crap. :noway:
I wasn't hiding -- I was plainly sitting right under the light on my porch. I ran inside to tell dh and since he has no shame he stormed out onto the porch to tell her to get lost. All she had to say for herself was "Good mornin'!" :indifferent:
THEN the icing on the cake was that she went into my neighbor's house. WHAT?! You couldn't walk 20 more feet to their bathroom? Seriously? Ugh. The police dispatcher thought it was all pretty funny. My decent neighbors & I have some serious issues with that house so I wanted the complaint to go on record at least. In one way it's hilarious but in so many other ways I really really really really really want to move. 0 -
