laniirvin

I hope everyone has a great day. I am headed off to school to learn about speciation, and how to predict who will win an election using a small sample......hmmmmmmmmm when will I use this I don't know. Maybe I will take bets on the next election.lol. C everyone later!

Yeah Shuntae, sorry for the deep conversation today. I feel in a deep dark mood. Summer break starts in 2 hours. I'm in mourning. LOL I shouldn't complain, I do have really good kids, we have a lot planned, this one here, that one there, my two with their dad in PA for a month. Summer will be over before we know it.

Also, Aunt flo. Seriously. Does she have to announce her arrival for days beforehand? The older I get the louder I can hear her screaming she's on her way. Loud mouth. I liked it better when she just showed up quietly and without commotion. Although... before my ablation last year she showed up unannounced and unwelcomed way too often, then she would overstay her welcome. I was hoping the ablation would take her out. No such luck. It just slapped her around a bit, but she's at least behaving now. Witch with a B.

Don't apologize, that is what we are here for!

I sometimes back away from the kid/working mom/SAHM conversations because I have nothing to add to them...unless our four-legged baby girl counts.

Aunt Flo is can be just wrong. I know I'd be scared sh!tless if I was expecting her and she didn't visit, but she's still pretty hateful sometimes.

Tag. I'm drinking water water water! Thanks, Sam!

Beans! Where you been girl? We've been calling your name but there was no answer.

You just call out my name and you know wherever I am, I'll come running....to see you again. Winter, spring, summer or fall all you have to do is call and I'll be ther-er-er-er. You've got a friend.

And now you have that song stuck in your head. You're welcome :flowerforyou:

I've been...around. Having issues getting these last few off & it is making weigh-in days a bit stressful for me so I was staying out. Didn't want to bring the team down. Plus, I SUCKED at the last challenge & didn't want to post, "I got on the scale 3 times in the past hour. I'll try harder tomorrow!" :laugh:

Okay-- I know this is getting redundant today-- but I transcribed James Taylor, too-- he's a bit nutty, but it was fun.

3babybeans

Pfft. Bet you haven't transcribed...ummm...errr....Kid Rock! There! Take that!

Marla64

Pfft. Bet you haven't transcribed...ummm...errr....Kid Rock! There! Take that!

thank God.

Marla64

But I did transcribe Little Wayne-- I think that was his name.

You wouldn't have brought us down. You should have come around. Marla would have knocked some sense into you.

I hear you over the last few. Stop stressing it. Are you in a hurry? Last I checked we got the rest of our lives to make it happen. You are a ton healthier now with only the 'last few' to get off than you were 47 pounds ago. Just sayin'.......

Edit: So what you are saying is that you got on the scale enough to singlehandedly make up for all of us who stayed off all week? Way to take one for the team! That's what team player is all about.

I hope you got paid extra for that one; I'm pretty convinced he's making up his own language that isn't English. One of the WORST. RAPPERS. EVER. in my opinion. That Reptar looking fool. Ugh.

Way to hijack, sorry about that.

:laugh: That was freakin' hilarious. "That Reptar looking fool" HA! you're so silly.

When I did come around, I was so freakin' lost in the convos that I just panicked & backed out. SOOO many people & I hate leaving people out so it was overwhelming for me. I'll do better. I promise.

I am only at 40 oz of water so far. If you stuck a pin in my gut I would turn into a fountain. I feel bloated.

I actually like some of his music.....when I can understand what he says. But I don't want to look at him. He is just soooo nasty looking!! Sorry Shuntae but i can get into his music some.

About the water thing.....I think I have 5 (maybe) ounces down. Had 2 cups of coffee this morning and a glass of tea. But bypassed the soft drinks! Yay!

renae77

Ok where is everyone at today? I have finally gotten my first 20 ounces of water down. yay! :drinker: :drinker: Let's all do this!

Oh, and I was just going to :laugh: about the 5oz (maybe). That just struck me as funny b/c sometimes that's me. I just don't drink! Odd, I know.

ksproston

Green Tea + Fiber One Bar + 48oz of water = belly grumbling, sloshing, groaning like you've never heard.

Just now finished by 2nd 24oz of water. So I'm at 48. I'll grab me some oars and float on down to the kitchen for more water and then take a potty break. I'm pretty sure you'll hear some sloshing around while I walk / float.

72lori

Beans, I don't drink either. I only drink water, occassionally a glass of milk but I don't drink much. I've had days where I think I might have only drank a small glass or two of water a day.

I'm now to 50 oz. My band on my bra feels tighter. Is that possible? This is supposed to make me feel good, right? I'm waiting.

LMAO- Right there with you. Fiber bar is now all bloated to three times it's original size.

Yep. I've been eating Fiber One bars for several months now. Probably on average 4 times a week. I'm still waiting to get used to them so the side effects aren't so strong - no pun intended:laugh:

Vanessa414

Hey all.

Lynnie - I know, i realized that after I posted and I'm sorry for that. :embarassed: I realize what everyone must have thought. So, sorry all. I didn't mean to discourage anyone. Everyone is doing amazing! I love you all!!

Lori - if I had my choice... I would NOT work. Especially if I had 4 kids... but that's just my 2 cents.

Beans - Glad you're back girl!

Roni - You're so positive about the whole 1 lb gain thing!!!! That's amazing. I should take some lessons from you! :laugh: Awesome job on keeping upbeat and I'm sure you'll see that 100th lb soon enough!

Yesterday was an awesome off day. Back at it today though. I got a new scale! It's a digital one instead of one of those turny dial ones. I'm so exited for an exact number instead of trying to see those little tiny lines and trying to guess!! :laugh:

I hope everyone is having a great day!!! :drinker:

Vanessa414

Oh um, also.. I drink a Slimfast every morning for breakfast so I dunno... does that count? If so, I forfeit the challenge cuz it has sodium in it. :bigsmile:

72lori

Kati- :laugh: I'm not too bothered by the Fiber One bars. Now protein bars and egg beaters. My family are not happy campers when I eat them, which is often!

Vanessa- a digital scale is a must. I had a perfectly working one that measured to the half pound and had to go buy another one that measured to the 2/10 of a pound. I really wanted the one that measured to the 1/10 but couldn't justify spending the extra bucks on it, especially since I already had a scale that worked!

Vanessa414

Hmm... The new scale is about 2 lbs off from the other one. Oh well, I'll deal with it. :grumble:

This place has been jumpin...

72lori

Hmm... The new scale is about 2 lbs off from the other one. Oh well, I'll deal with it. :grumble:

Assuming 2 pounds the wrong way? It will all work out in the end.

Yup, either way, i've lost what I've lost!!! :bigsmile: So this week might be a little screwy, but after this week the weight lost will be accurate again.

72lori

I feel like I need to eat something to soak up all the liquid in my belly. That defeats the purpose, huh? The last time I was this bloated from drinking was for my colonoscopy. Let's just say the results from this HAVE to be more fun.
