    OKAY. I'm giving up coffee. I kind of got addicted to it back when the doc ordered me to drink it so this week NO CAFFEINE. I was drinking it black but I guess even if it has no calories it's still bad for me. Haha.

    Deerslayer - HEE. Cute nickname. I hate that I haven't had net for more than two weeks now. STUPID TELUS.

    And now I must run and do my job. Heh.

    Have a great day ladies!

    I've been scared to try on my summer clothes. Trying on summer clothes and them being too tight is like a yearly trauma session. I tried them on and they were HUGE. Last summer I was pregnant with Harley so most of the clothes are from almost 2 years ago and some are from even longer ago.

    All but 3 pairs of shorts were so big that even buttoned they fell down and the tank tops were all so wide. The dress that I wore (that fit) for my high school graduation was too big. It was awesome! :laugh: Now I have at least 2 bags worth of stuff to take to a consignment shop. And now I'll have to go shopping for some more shorts/capris and tank tops. Darn! :bigsmile:

    AWESOME!

    You don't know someone you could possibly exchange the clothes with and get yourself some new summer clothes for free do you? Maybe a friend who's also trying to lose weight?

    lori- congrats! that's a great feeling. i had to buy new summer clothes last year cause all mine were too small. then a couple of months ago, i was going through my "too small clothes" bin, and a lot of the shorts and stuff were already fitting. no more 18's for me :drinker:


    sara- glad you're back :smile:

    Man-- I am so flippin' hungry today-- 1200 calories a day is well and good, but my body's crying UNCLE today-- FEED ME!!!!!!!!

    I had a piece of cherry pie this afternoon, and just had two peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for dinner. (better than the sodium laden crap I'm making for the fam-- I had 1/2 cup of the tuna helper last night for dinner, and I am WAYYYYY bloated today-- I hate boxed food :angry: )

    Hittin' the road to run in a bit-- not sweatin' the extra cals today-- I listened to my body. Can't go wrong when you listen to it-- eat when you're hungry, stop when you're not.

    GORGEOUS day here in New Jersey-- I'm heading out to enjoy it with a lovely evening run--

    Everyone's been so quiet-- hope you're all hanging in.

    :heart: Sara-- :heart: :heart: been thinking about you. Hope you're all right !!

    :heart: Laura-- glad to see you back--

    :heart: Amanda-- no more coke young lady-- that is with a capital C as in the beverage, not the drug-- ha. (but none of that, either-- :wink: )

    :heart: Janie-- where are you? Hanging in?

    :heart: Tresa-- you naughty lurker-- come out, come out wherever you are.

    :heart: Jeannie-- hang in there this week, my good woman.

    :heart: Bobbi-- run, woman, run!!!

    :heart: Shuntae-- how's the new place with the bf?

    :heart: Nicky-- hope your Internet comes soon-- :grumble: But living mold free's gotta be sweet!!! I betcha your heart'll calm down now, too-- hmmmm.

    :heart: Sam-- fearless leader-- how's tyrannaboss lately?

    :heart: Andrew-- you da mannnnnn-- how is my friend? Run much this week?

    :heart: Beth-- and his lovely wife??? Didja get back to kickin your butt?

    :heart: Roni-- how's that son of yours? Sooo proud of you for your example to him-- the return on your investment in him should be just wonderful!!!

    :heart: Lynnie-- so...what? You get a fancy-shmancy new Shania Twain hairdo and ditch us? Where the heck are ya? Hope all's well with the new job. :wink:

    :heart: Loree-- you take that pregnancy test yet? Ha. :wink:

    Okay-- I think I got ya all-- my humble apologies if I missed somebody-- 40 lashes if I did.

    Heading out to exercise something besides my mouth-- or in this case, my fingers--

    :smooched: to my team!!

    I have been. Upping the protein has helped. I haven't gotten even a little dizzy for a couple days now.

    kinda...i got in some good walks tues and wed, then today TOM decides to show up(2 weeks late!) so, i felt too yucky. tomorrow's gonna be in the 60's so i'm planning on spending most of it outside. all this easter candy sitting around is NOT helping either :grumble: i'm still not drinking empty wine calories, so that's a plus.

    :heart: Shuntae-- how's the new place with the bf?

    So, it's only been a week...but I love it! I'm mostly settled in (just have things to toss/give away/put in storage at the apartment) and the adjustment is going well. I have to work on my gym/running schedule because it got a little off kilter this week, but I'll figure it out. Icing on the cake, the cat seems to be adjusting well to her new surroundings. :bigsmile: Like the stickers say, life is good.

    I just want to say I :heart: this team!!!!

    I have decided my problem is mental, not physical. MattySparks posted on here once,

    "If this is where you start giving up- then it is all over!
    It is the tough times that define us and how hard we want to do this!"

    I really do want to lose the last 21 pounds so I am starting over tomorrow. I can do this and I know you are probably tried of hearing this but I love this team. You all bring something different and so great to the table to make up this team. Thanks guys!!!!!!!

    Thank you Marla,:flowerforyou: you must be very smart because one of my dad's friends told me the same thing - there is no try. I really respect this man and that made a big difference in my thinking.

    I changed my ticker so I can no longer say oh I have lost 24 pounds that is good enough, now I have to say I have 21 pounds to go.
