Monday QOTD: Embarrassing story about your partner...

OK, so one of my teammates is Elle. She has some allergies where her skin reacts to different things. A few years ago, she decided to dye her hair with a brand of stuff she hadn't used before. Within a day her whole head swelled up (she says she looked like a cabbage patch kid!). It was bad enough that the sides of her glasses had to bend out to get around her head. Fortunately, it was just swelling and not anything life threatening. So she went into the emergency department (with her head 2 sizes too big). When the receptionist asked what was wrong she said "I have a swelled head" (and the lady had no sense of humor - not even a smile).

Go partner! Whoop that scale. Embarrassing story comes later for her.

Congratulations to you all, especially to my partner Nicki, who topped the weight chart for the yellows!
Sorry that my weigh in didn't count, I was an idiot and put it on week 2 instead of week, and maintained, so wouldn't have helped our team really.

Go yellows!! x x

Congrats to all the losers! Keep it up Diamonds!!!!

Monday QOTD: One of my partner's most embarrassing moments was she went out to a party and got very drunk. She ended up on a train going the opposite direction of where she needed to be. She feel asleep on the train with another girl who was also wasted lol. When she woke up the train had stopped so she had to take a taxi back home and Oh she also peed in the middle of the street hehe

My partner's most embarassing moment

One day I was running down the hallway at my job, working hard, when my chest popped up and hit me in the chin. It was incredibly embarrassing and awkward. Ha!

Hello to all my losing ladies! Okay, here is Jackie's embarrassing story...

When she was in high school I was president of this organization called HOSA ( health occupants students of america). She had a performance to do and she got a cute outfit and heels to wear... she was excited about this hot guy who was going to watch her. She thought she was so cute until she was coming off stage and fell coming down the stairs!

Her friends laughed but the guy was surprisingly nice about it.

GO PINK!

My embarrassing story of Lydt comes with music!

It adds to the ambiance.

Anyone, my loverly partner here was having a good night out drinking with some buddies, with some full on booze goggles. She woke up the next morning, completely on top of the world, that is until her friend came by to check on her. Here's what happened when he got there:

"He then proceeded to get out his iPhone and play a video of everyone signing to Kylie Minogue and Robbie Williams 'KIDS". Everyone was having fun and i couldn't see myself though. Until 2 minutes in where there is me sprawled out on the table lifting my head up just in time to slurrrrr 'annnn the skidsssss salrightttttt' to which everyone burst in to fits of hysterics. I then lifted my head up again and was sick in a glass and then on the floor, in the toilet and in my boyfriends father's car all the way home."

Aaaaand cue the hangover. :P

Monday's QOTD

My husband received a phone call from a very aggressive bill collector who became very irrate with his inability to remember to pay a bill that he accumulated months ago. My husband was adamant that he did not owe any money to this company. The bill collector began to yell and degrade him for not paying his bill. My husband got very upset and began using profanity... In the end he was so embarrassed because it was my mom playing a joke on him. She thought he was so mild manner and always kept his cool. TOO FUNNY!

nikkiws

Hello Diamonds, am waiting on my partner's story, she is poorly and laid up, sending love to nkfowler74 x

I think Jamaica meant an embarrassing story about your DITR partner, not spouse.

Haha...it would be soooo much easier to tell an embarassing story about my spouse

I have been buying myself a piece of jewelry (nothing too pricey) for every ten pounds that I lose. I love it! I'm celebrating BIG when I reach my final goal. I am splurging big time on a sapphire ring (my birth stone), going shopping for new clothes (until then it's just thrift shops), AND going on a trip to show of my new physique. Yeah... I have plans :-)

nkfowler74

So sorry for the delay everyone on Monday's QOTD. I had a throbbing headache along with stomach pains yesterday, so I was barely on the computer. And I just finally sent my partner the embarrassing story about myself.

Here is the embarrasing story from my partner, Nikkiws:

"Recently I went swimming and had put my costume on before leaving home. I was so busy getting the baby ready for the lesson I didn't concentrate on me. Half way through the lesson I looked down and realised I still had my t shirt on, none of girlfriends had said anything! We always go for a pub lunch after the lesson, I had to eat my lunch wearing my bra and my coat done up... much to the amusement of my friends!"

When reading this, my first thought... at least she had a coat or that would've been one awkward lunch hehe

The first goal I set for myself was a NSV...to complete Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred. When I reached that goal, I scheduled a 90 minute sugar scrub massage for myself. Unfortunately, I'm still waiting for the appointment, which isn't until mid-June.

Once I'm under 200, I'll probably get a new pair of jeans. Mostly because mine don't fit already.

My lovely partner nicki's story:

During my social work career, I was a guest speaker at a small training for parents on how to get children to express their emotions in a positive manner. It was held at a conference room in a local hotel. The hotel had 8 conference rooms. Unfortunately, I forgot to write down which conference room and tried to recall from memory. As I walked into the room, I noticed that it was a smaller group than I had anticipated (which was great because public speaking is one ofm y biggest fears) and everyone appeared to be on a break. So, I called them to attention and they all went back to their seats. I spoke for nearly 10 minutes (even read a short bit from a childrens storybook) when a man raised his hand. I asked if he had a question. And his response "What does this have to do with our benefits?" Apparently, the hotel was training new employees in that conference room and had been told that the next speaker would be discussing their health insurance benefits. So, I had just given part of my speech to a few hotel housekeepers, maintenence staff, and reservations clerks.

Haha, made me laugh as this is exactly the sort of thing I would do!

Tuesday qotd: I haven't thought of a reward for reaching my goal but seeing as my clothes are too big, I guess it will be some new jeans, and maybe a nice haircut x

I have been rewarding myself with something to assist me in my goals at each 10 pounds lost. My first one was an Enell sports bra; it is my favorite reward of all. Then a HRM, new workout clothes, and new running shoes. I am two pounds away from my first pampering reward. I plan to get a massage when I lose 50 pounds. :happy:

KPstartingover

This is kind of sad to say, but I haven't even thought of anything. In fact, I didn't really even set a 1st goal. However, after seeing all your stories - I am definitely setting a goal. So I'm going to go with losing 10%, which for me would be 16.4 lbs. When I reach 147.6 lbs I am scheduling a lovely facial for myself at a spa. I haven't had one in many years!

momogogo

I should be at my goal weight by August 1st. I have been planning to get a tummy tuck so I guess that would be my reward.

dab52776

I also haven't really mapped out rewards for myself. I haven't been buying new clothes lately, in hopes that I will need a smaller size soon, so I'm sure a new outfit or two will be purchased once I reach my goal. I love everyone's pampering ideas.... I may have to consider a massage if I reach my goal of 160 by Aug 22!
