    I don't wanna get lost :-P Still, if any of the ladies have bra suggestions, message me please! :-)

    I know my other recently been buying them from Amazon and found them good value (this is uk site not sure of the value on usa site).

    Russ
    I really like the danskin ones from Walmart...I got some with a front clip. They hold everything pretty good...and actually make my boobs look better than a regular bar. Its a sports bra.

    Look like this...if I get a chance to go to walmart I can tell you the actual name

    Thanks Russ! I didn't even think of Amazon! Ha! I'll look in to that too! Virgo, I don't shop at wal mart very often, but I'll keep an eye out! Thank you too! I just feel bad for altering my $40 VS bras and I don't want to spend another $40 on a new bra that gets worn out because it's the only one that fits me well enough!! :-P

    So I'm still here! The funeral was crazy yesterday. There were so many people that showed up that they had to open up both rooms of the funeral and show the funeral on a TV in the other room. We decided to rock out the funeral as it was Jason's last "gig" ( he was a musician in several bands of the years) Many of his former band mates played songs on his guitar to honor him and many people said some very nice things about him. It went two hours long or longer. But it was a great send off for him. But as the funeral was finishing up we got a call from my mother telling us that one of her cousins passed away of a heart attack at only 50. So here we go again! And on top of it all I have my biopsy scheduled for Tuesday afternoon at 4 pm. Tom finally decided to start Friday on my way home from the gym my trainer must have worked it out of me. Hoping it is done by Tuesday or I will have to push it back again.

    Today is weigh in day for the biggest loser challenge thing that neuro and I are doing. My weight isn't so good but I managed with everything to still pull off a 5732 burn for the week. I'm pretty proud of myself. I'm hoping that Neuro can keep us up there and out of elimination. Anyway I am off to the shower now and then on to church. Have a glorious Sunday all.

    So glad I found this by accident! Hia all hope your al good :) No weight for me this week as I have pledged not to weigh till my 10 day plan is up which is wednesday :) hope the scale is kind, really really hope, send me vibes please!
  • No change in weight this week. Ugh! Its been a rough week though. Lots of pain, change in medication and change in my workout...All I can do is hope for better next week.

    I have baked 4 pies to go with the giant turkey dinner my family has every year. Luckily they're all gluten filled and I will have no temptation to eat them. I am determined I will stay under my calorie goal today. Turkey breast meat and vegetables only.

    Have a great day to all of you! Happy Thanksgiving to all my Canadian MFP's!

  • So....I was so excited to meet my first mini- goal of looseing 10lbs. I said I would get my bangs trimmed (and boy did they need it) But I decided to get all of my hair done....I have always liked bright colors so I went for lots more blue and purple! Here are my before hair and after hair from this week!

    I lost another lb this week so I am at 269 and feeling great.

    Catching up!

    @ naesue - thanks for posting your pics! Your hard work is totally evident. You look lovely. :) Sounds like the funeral went as well as could be expected, and you've done remarkably well for yourself with it all. Good luck with your biopsy... i'll be thinking of you!

    @ BrendarB - thanks for the recipe. Hope you're feeling better by now!

    @ RussDev - the massage sounds like a nice treat! Awesome of your employer to put in exercise facilities! It'll be great to have that available right at the office.

    @ kimberly702 - all that with hangover? You're super-girl! :)

    @ caroltina - good luck with your weigh-in on wednesday! It sounds like your new plan is going well for you. That's awesome!

    @ finigan - sorry you've been hurting so. Happy Thanksgiving! My mom had 24 for dinner on Saturday. I'm in Ohio, and rarely get home for Canadian Thanksgiving. Makes me a bit homesick. I'll be heading up there for U.S. Thanksgiving and have dreams/plans to de-bone and stuff a chicken.

    @ andijohn - wow - how'd you get such a vibrant blue? congrats on your mini-goal! :)

    My week was pretty good! adt81 and I are partners in the Biggest Loser challenge, and the goal this week was to burn, burn, burn. I managed over 5,000 calories according to MFP which is a personal best. :) Gonna brag about my partner a bit who did over 8,000 - amazing lady! :) It was a fun challenge, but largely due to some technical scale difficulties (ie, a broken scale) we were eliminated. But, we'll play along and maybe get back into the fray in a few weeks. :)

    I'm also very excited because I'll be leaving for vacation this week - 10 days in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. I'll be a bit out of touch over the next couple of weeks, and might not log my food diary every day. Some days I think it will just be too darned hard to guess with unfamiliar restaurant foods in the land of sausage. There'll be lots of walking and hiking and climbing through castles though - which should offset my indulgences a bit. ;) I'll still check in periodically and can post links to my flickr site if you have time (and care) to see pics. :)

    Have a great week everyone!

    Yeh, we had fun, and will continue to have fun playing along with all the challenges. Who knows, we might even get called back in!! :) If not, hell, we still had fun, lol. So proud of myself as well as Nikkie for all we accomplished together :)

    Having a really rough time right now. Some things in my life need to change. My weight loss has slowed down and I am struggling to stay under calories every day. I want to be done with grad school NOW! Anyway, I might not be on as often as I was before. I am not sure what is going to give to get my life back on track but I am overcommitted right now and sleep deprived to boot. Just send healthy thoughts and vibes my way. Maybe they will cut through all the crap!

    NSV Monday!

    Just a little one - but I noticed in the past week that I can sleep on my tummy much more comfortably these days. Woohoo! :)

    andijohn - love the blue, had it a couple of times and I always love it - you rock the look!
    nikki - have fun in Germany - it's a great town, but keep in mind there are some towns that pretty much close down at 10pm, so if you are a night owl, make sure you know the town you are in.
    naesue- hang in there girl, btw, you look great in that dress

    I'm still sick and I learned that I am a carb hound when I'm sick - ate bread, doughnuts, anything with cheese in it, I don't think I ate a veggie at all this weekend. This week is going to be a bust, I'm going to try to get back to my weight from Friday for my next Friday weigh in, but I have a feeling it's going to take me 2 weeks to get it back off.
    Oh well, back to square one. It's a new week and a fresh start everyone

    Sorry I'm slacking this weekend, its been busy. Then that TOM came, and then apparently I got sick from the fair. I was fine yesterday morning, went to the fair, came home and got a fever. Ugh.... :sick: This is really going to mess up my schedule, I just want to stay in bed.

    So this weeks challenge

    In the exact same boat!! I've even been considering just letting MFP go for a couple weeks while I knock out a few things by deadlines. Bleh.

    Anyway - down 1.2 this week, so at least that's good. Hope everyone has an amazing week! :)

    Awesome challenge this week. When the cold weather comes, water becomes less important. This will keep me on track :)

    I have kind of a funny NSV while flexing my biceps in the mirror this week i noticed that I could make my boobs lift with my pec muscles. I have never ben able to do that. I can actually lift my big heavy boobs! I am getting stronger every day.
  • Love the challange this week! Water is my weakness, I SUCK at it, but I just bought myself a new water bottle so hopefully this will help!

    Congrats for everyone who has had NSVs this week! I had a little one. Yesterday I put on a shirt I haven't worn since late Winter and it was pretty tight then. It was loose! I was pretty excited about that. :drinker:

    Also this will be a great challenge for me! I never drink as much water as I need to!

    Awesome NSV Rae!! :) I had a similar one yesterday. Well, it actually kind peeved me a little, because I had bought a cardigan at the end of last winter and was looking forward to wearing it again. It was really big on me! Was slightly upset that I couldn't wear it but then I was thrilled, lol

    Getting really scared and nervous about my biopsy later today. So much so I can't sleep! My sister says it hurts and you are really crampy after. On top of the fact that I am so scared I feel like the family has completely forgotten about me. I know they are worried about lynnshea my sister in law and the kids but I need some support too! It's funny they all talk about keeping their family and friends closer after my brothers passing but it seems like I am the first to be let go and left behind and forgotten! Unless I am in their face on a daily basis I am out of sight out of mind! I'm so scared!!!!!!!!!

    I had this happen a few weeks back - majorly nuts feeling isn't it! It was involuntary the first time but I keep checking I can do it!!!!!
