    My new favorite cake is the soda pop cake, moist and delish. 1 white cake mix, 1 can sprite zero for the cake, for the top, 1 tub of (shhhh, is Dave lurking?) cool whip, and some sliced up strawberries. Total heaven. MMMMM. We all :heart: it very much.

    oh, excuse me-- I think I stumbled into the wrong thread--

    I'm looking for the Black team-- :ohwell:

    :wink:

    Sorry Marls. It's my fault again. :huh: :blushing:

    But we're here, promise!!!!!! (Happy Birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday dear Marla!!!!! happy birthday to you!!!!!! :bigsmile: )

    Thanks, Vanessa--

    Lori-- cake was yummy-- 'cept they used vanilla frosting-- I like cream cheese--

    I love cream cheese frosting. Now I want cake.

    Would it be tacky if I took my own birthday cake to work so I can make it less unhealthy and have cream cheese frosting?

    I will send everyone here a piece of madisons birthday cake. I should have plenty left over. then next month is Ava's birthday. Don't plan on me losing these couple of months! hahaha

    When is Ava's birthday? I'm a July girl too!

    hers is the 21st. Madison and Ava are 25 months apart.:blushing:


    When we have kids, I would prefer to have them close in age like that too for a lot of reasons.

    My bday is the 29th, my mom's is the 25th and my cat's is the 26th. July rocks!

    Hubs 2 years older then the next brother and he is 2 years older then the next brother and then he is 12 years older then the next brother. So, ya closer the better. The youngest is a PUNK!!

    Yeah, I am almost 9 years older than my sister and I don't want my kids to have that huge gap. Plus, I want to have my two and be done by the time I'm 35.

    Woah, I travel out of town for a day and I miss alot. lol

    we always have tons of adds for places we don't have up here. Lots of sonic adds and we don't wave one. no red robins ect... It is kinda funny. Though you guys definately got me craving a burger. lol

    So I went to a regional meeting down in mass yesterday and overall it was a great trip. This meeting was attended by close to 80 or so people 50 of which have not seen me since before I started my journey so I got to wear my new outfit and just sit back and enjoy the wow's I got from people. It was great and I would be lying if I said I didn't enjoy it. lol Well last night when I got to the hotel I wanted to get a work out in and wouldnt you know it the fitness room was horrible. The treadmill was a mess so I used the excersice bike. Even on it's highest setting I couldnt get my heart rate up so I thought I would drive down to the local highschool to see if the track was good. Well it was a nice track but they don't keep the lights on that late so that was a bust. I couldnt run on the road near the hotel because it is right off the mass pike and they are doing work so I didnt want to get run over. So I went back to the hotel feeling defeated and hopeless about getting any decent excersice. When I got there I decieded to take the stairs up to my room on the second floor. When I got to the top of that flight I thought..... "This will work!" I cranked on my heart rate monitor and run thos steps up 5 flights and back down. up and down, up and down for 30 mins. Burned my 600 calories and went to bed happy. I am just so proud of how dedicated I am to this lifestyle now. Just feel great.

    Everyone is doing so great with there water and this challenge!

    Marla-WTG on your run last night. I am glad your timing of the meds is working!

    Sam- Nothing specific, just missed seeing your posts. lol

    Beans-Missed ya girl. your just like me, when you feel like your not doing well or get stressed you dissapear. I'm the same way. Your doing great and you my favorite beach body coach. lol

    Roni-Wtg on gaining that pound! I could learn from you. This is about being healthy not about dropping pounds. Thanks for reminding me. I need that some times.

    Venessa-I think you came to a good conlcusion on that one. Don't deny him his time, but you need to get some fun time for yourself. It's only fair.

    Shuntae-What is up buddy!? :flowerforyou:

    Lynne and April- U2 are so cute. Hope the bike riding is going well and way to go on passing on the pepsi april.

    Renae, Janie, Bobbie, Lori, Lori and all my other folks. Have a great night everyone. I am headed to bed!

    Ok teammates I am off to bed. Funny cakes everyone! Not too sure about Tom Selleck....that just looked a little eeewwwwww. Sorry Marla....he makes a better man than a cake. Eat your heart out girl!
    Andrew-nice to see you tonight....glad you had a great workout!
    I don't like Sonic and I have never been to Red Robin. Love Bojangles tho!
    Have a great night and see you all in the morning!! Woohoo!! And I had NO soft drinks today. One glass of fat free milk, coffee (about 3 cups) and the rest was water water water!!!!

    oh my gosh, Andrew-- just looking at that Moses cake and post makes me giggle all over again--

    I won't rehash my blathering on the proud thread-- but I just wanted to tell my beloved team how much I adore you all, and how grateful I am for your help.

    I set out last June 2 to lose 50 pounds by my 45th birthday-- I'm not quite there, but darn close-- and the support, fun, camaraderie, competition, inspiration-- you name it-- that I get from my friends in this group and my wonderful lurking ones and mascots-- well, people, you're just awesome, and I'm so blessed to have you all in my life.

    I'm not stopping-- my goal for this coming year is to press on for the 50 pound mark-- and then reassess. See if I'm content with that, or need five more??

    And then, to maintain-- run 5ks, continue to do my pushups, my toe touches, avoid my sweets-- do all the things I need to do to keep getting stronger and better-- and continue to love my team.

    I do, do do love this team-- truly-- :smooched:

    Now let this weepy, hormonal OLD (:grumble: Andrew-- you little punk) bat get some rest--

    Later, cats!

    Bojangles is great, but I think the only one in the state is over a half hour away. Guess I'll save that one for my trips down south.

    I'm so excited right now!!! i got on the scale and saw the number i've been waiting to see for the last 7 months 158.8 baby!!!! this means that i am no longer obese!!! i'm overweight i'm overweight I'M OVERWEIGHT!!!!!!!!!! i can't believe it. i hope and pray that it doesn't go back up before weigh in, but just seeing that number for me is such a huge deal. i've worked so hard for every single pound i've lost and sometimes it gets pretty discouraging to work and be so careful about what i eat and not see the results i want. i now know that i CAN do it and i WILL do it!! i will get to a healthy weight, and i deserve it :drinker:

    So I have been within 1-2 pounds of being out of the overweight category.

    I just cant seem to get there, and it is seriously pissing me off.

    Now please dont get me wrong I am ENJOYING being slim and trim and fitting into the 8s...I mean working it ba-bay!!

    But dang, is it too much to ask to get to 136???I am almost tempted to take a pill or eat icecream and grapefruit......................any one got an HCG shot they can hit me up with:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    Morning black team. Sorry I didn't add good to it. I stepped on the scale. BIG mistake. Between all that durn water, TOM, eating like crap yesterday it is up 5 pounds since Wednesday! 5 blinkin' pounds. Serioulsy, my eyelids are even poofy. Being a lady is cruel ****. I'm cutting back on the water and eating right the rest of the week. Somehow I have to get through a picnic tomorrow at our house. I'm staying outside, AWAY from the food inside.

    Beth- congrats on overweight. I'm sure you will stick with it until weigh in day. Now that you saw the number you will be extra careful to keep it there.

    Jeannie- you will get there. I was 3.5 pounds from normal. Right this very poofy water retaining second I'm more... stupid scale... stupid me for getting on it.

    I was headed out for a walk, but I did something to my foot and just putting on my sneaks hurts it. I think I'll go get groceries instead and try the elliptical later. I'm staying on that bad boy til I sweat out all this freaking water!
