    Hi Sixers ... thank you all for the comments on the picture of my baby girl and the love of her life. She truly is happy ... they've known each other since kindergarten ... I have a picture of them together back then ... they became an item at prom when they shared their first kiss ... that was 7 years ago. Isn't that the most mushy story you ever heard ... but it's true ... they're best friends and truly in love. I've loved him like my own son since they were little kids and now he really will be my son. I'm way to excited. Their wedding will be in August of 2010.

    On a weight loss note ... I actually stayed within my calories today and drank my water and got some walking in. It's been quite some time since that's happened. It must be all the positive vibes from all the newbies - thanks for that my friends. All in all it was a good day. Now I'm pooped so I'm off to bed.

    I did well today too, I did not drink my normal 64oz. of h2o cuz I was filling in Fed Ex and I drive in rural areas with NO bathroom but I did drink 48oz. along with lot's of coffee!! I NEVER have a problem with exercise, it is staying in the limited calorie range! I did awesome with both today!! If ALL days were like today I would be a smaller person!! Best wishes to you LOSERS!!!

    Maggie - Your daughter's pic is BEAUTIFUL!!!! And I nearly started crying when I read your post about her story. Kindergarten??? That is amazing!!! Best wishes to them both and to the mother of the bride!!

    Hello everyone else!! Unfortunately I have two phone interviews to prepare for tomorrow so I can't write much (I guess that is really "fortunately" since they are interviews after all!)

    Have a good night all!!!

    Maggie - Your daughter and her fiance look so happy. They really do have a story book romance. Congratulations!

    Amy - Good luck with your interviews!

    I've got another busy day today, and then I'm back to my easy pace tomorrow. Even though I haven't found a full-time job yet, I just started training last night for a really good part-time job, and I've gotten some freelance legal research lately. I'm finishing up one of those projects this morning.

    Have a great day everyone!

    Hello Sixers!

    Yesterday was my off day for exercise and I really didn't eat so well either. :grumble: Today though I have started out well and plan to continue the good eating. Then it is back to the treadmill tonight for my run! I wish I could run every day, but I am not that fit yet. I still some time in between my jogs.

    Hope everyone has a great day!

    Ali, I use flavoring packets in my water too. I drink kool aid at night (sugar free). Trying to drink more plain water, but if I can't manage that, I'll go back to my flavored water.

    Maggie, I forgot to look at your daughter's photo last night. I can't see it at work. I must remember to look tonight!!! Congrats on a good day with calories and exercise!

    Cathy, I'm clipping coupons today. I'm down to no money.... and that is AFTER my payday tomorrow. :frown:

    Kel, I hope she waits until she finds a good one!!

    Dr.Tamm, I love you!! Good job with the water drinking. I've gotten all mine in for 2 days running now. Here's to a third day of us getting in our fluids!! :drinker:

    Shanell. yay for a good day!!!!

    Verda, I bet you got in your exercise running packages. Sounds like a cool job actually.

    AmyLou, good luck with those interviews!!!!

    Marci, hi!!! :flowerforyou:

    Erin, wish I could run every day too. I love the feeling of running. NEVER thought I'd be a runner, EVER in my life! I haven't run in a while and need to build back up my stamina but it's such a great rush. So free.

    Good morning! I haven't done so well the last couple of days with eating or exercise, but I've been getting more water than usual. I'm not up yet to my 8 cups a day, but I've been getting in 6 which is twice what I've been doing! :happy: I use Crystal Light a lot too. My favorite is the raspberry green tea.

    Maggie - I love the pic of your daughter & her fiance. They look so happy! :happy:

    Amy - Good luck on the interviews!

    Hi everyone, just wanted to check in and so far so good. I was able to drink my 10 cups of water Tuesday and yesterday so I'm happy about that. Just got back from my run and I pushed out 3.75 miles today, I started a marathon training plan on Monday and so far it's easy. We'll see how I feel when they want me to run 10 miles!! :laugh:

    Maggie the pic of you daughter and fiance is awesome
    Amy hope the interviews go well!!

    Hope you all have a great day!!

    I had a work breakfast this morning. Being new in the group, I felt pressured to eat, you know? I had orange juice, coffee, half a sausage biscuit, half a crumb cake muffin, and a piece of chocolate cake. I don't usually skip meals but I am skipping lunch today (because I'm not hungry after stuffing 1000 cals at breakfast!!! :noway: ) and having a string cheese for my afternoon snack, then a reasonable dinner (probably a tuna melt).

    I hope we don't have anymore work breakfasts or lunches soon. They are gonna make me not fit into my clothes anymore!!!! :noway:

    ALTHOUGH, it's nice to bring one small item and get a meal in return. :wink:

    I know what you mean, your afraid of offending someone if you don't eat what was brought.

    i got my EXAMINATION ELIGIBILITY letter today.:bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

    i will call tomorrow and schedule my day and time and pay my $65 fee. i am thinking monday or tuesday gives me the weekend to study hard.

    than i have to take another class (8 hours) to get the "R" for realtor. to join the board. it's not a must, but, it's important. more money to fork out. luckily my broker pays it for you and you pay him back in payments, plus he is the teacher for the classes.

    finished my bread making, sewing tablecloth, still need to finish my list for shopping. spent some time reading.

    have a great rest of the day all....
