    The only person I've encouraged is my sister and that was to save her from her overly restrictive low fat ways.

    She is using it and losing. But she doesn't come in the forums.

    If anyone else I knew signed up, I probably wouldn't friend them. This part of my life is, well not private per se, but not for sharing with coworkers etc.

    I've lost 35 pounds and my coworkers tell me I look great and I've told them to sign up and they just say "I don't have the time." When they JUST finished complaining about 'wasting' hours watching T.V.... *eyeroll*

    So I think it is for the best that they "Don't have the time" because then I don't have to deal with the rest of their excuses.

    ETA: Who needs grammar in the mornings anyway?

    I have two NSV's to share with you all:

    I haven't been wearing any of my jeans because they were way too tight. I put them on this weekend and they're loose. They won't be wearable shortly.

    And secondly - when I stand up straight and look down - I can see my toes!!

    I have to have a blood test done again because the hospital messed up the label. I'm not overly bothered as I'm not squeamish about needles.

    Since it was their error, the hospital offered to send the nurse to me so I wouldn't have to take yet more time off work for appointments. Suits me, except I still haven't told work I'm pregnant. I'm planning on telling tomorrow when the boss will be in the office after 2 weeks away (and I'll be 16 weeks and struggling to hide it). Having a nurse come to my office and do a blood test won't be a problem for my work, but how am I going to explain it? Is it cruel to allow them to believe I'm dying until tomorrow, when I'll finally spill the beans?

    So...DH was an idiot this weekend and I got upset and decided to have some "me time". I went and got my hair cut chin length and got some new clothes on Saturday after my job. Left the boys with him for about 8 hours, which I never do, but I SO needed it and part of it was when I was working. Only spent about $200 total on everything >.< oops. Oh well, this is the first time I've liked my hair in about...10 years. It's adorable and the lady cutting my hair told me my face was so narrow that a shorter cut helps make it look fuller (which is true, when I'm not overweight, I have a long thin face), so that was cool. Made me feel awesome. I worked the wedding until like noon and then didn't come home til dinnertime, but it was worth it.

    Got a new pair of jeans for work, too, in a size 6. That felt awesome. I had too much Starbucks this past weekend though (I LOVE iced skinny caramel macchiatos, even though the sugar makes me sick) and I stress ate on Saturday. +2.4 lb this am. :( Oh well, I'm back on the grind again today.

    Um, didn't the same poster post this a few pages back :|

    I thought they had confessed that twice :D!

    I confess that I went on a walk this morning only so I could pass my sister on the leaderboard steps on Fitbit o:).

    1st bolded, I use Head 'n' Shoulders OR V05 makes a 2in1 that's not bad and Finesse does one as well. One bottle and the V05 and Finesse have glorious long lasting scents and then I hit my hair up with a leave in conditioner when I get home.

    2nd bolded, I also skip the undies...Tonight, I am at work, going commando because I did weights(Leg day), a run with my dog(30 minutes) and some time on the elliptical(20 minutes). After my shower I had NO leg power for underwear. Eff that. :smirk:

    I'll have to look at Finesse & VO5 since I find the Herbal Essence 2 In 1 leaves my hair pretty dry.

    1. I HATE "body posi" posts on social media. Aside from the fact that they encourage mediocrity (I hate those cutesy "Another day and I still didn't use algebra" posts for the same reason), they only seem to promote positivity for the obese to super obese. I have no problem with body positivity for someone who is working to change their size or for someone who has decided that a BMI of 24.5 is fine, but don't try to pass off obesity as a valid lifestyle choice. Judge me if you want for that.
    2. This morning I was scooping coffee granules into the basket and couldn't figure out why the grams weren't changing on my scale. Then I realized that I was frowning at the clock on my coffee maker and I don't weigh that anyway.

    This reminds me.....I bought Wholly Guacamole today, single serve, spicy.....I have not tried it yet, but when I do, it is the first time ever.....I know to eat it with nacho chips, but do I also use salsa? Cheese dip? Anything else?? LOL

    I eat it with GF pretzels or crackers. I do also eat it with tortilla chips and salsa.

    That is awesome! I could totally see myself doing that, bleary eyed and tired...

    I suppose it depends on whether you like them or not... :D

    Since it's summer, maybe you can get by with one pair of transitional jeans...

    Woman after my own heart right here. :heart:

    Mine too. I'm all about a fast shower to get clean and a long bubble bath with a good book. (I get time for this about once every 10 days.)

    Not I, I hate shopping. I'm kind of sad for that reason that I'm shrinking out of everything.

    I didn't think I was ever going to see my toes - I'm well endowed - but they've shrunk down enough.

    Nope. You're blood test is none of their business. Besides you can tell them it's routine testing,but they lost the first sample and are making it right. They'll think it's cholesterol, etc.

    She is probably worried you will do a better job and show her up. Women are terrible bosses. They have too many insecurities (so speaks a woman boss).

    I am an exception to this rule. :p

    That's an excellent set of NSVs. I feel you with hating shopping though. Especially for jeans. I am the owner of a pair of wide hips and jeans are awful to shop for.

    Good morning from page 1286!! Had a great weekend. The concert was great and the food was too. I managed to keep myself from causing any major damage other than a little water weight. It was a good time.

    Yum... pieces of wood really hit the spot. When I was in Girl Scouts there was a girl in the group that would do anything for a dare. I liked to consider myself a daredevil, but she was dared to lick a cockroach that was crawling across the floor and SHE DID IT. I would not have dared to do that.

    My flatmate at uni once ate a cigarette butt as a dare. The worst part - it wasn't even HER cigarette butt. We've no idea whose it was as it was a flat party and there were about 50 people there. Absolutely minging. (But your cockroach licker is still worse!)

    currently doing the 20 page catch up, in the meantime....

    post date update!

    ok, so i met the really nice dude for the first time on 7/9.
    since that thursday, i have literally spent some time of every day with him. ranging from two hours, to entire days.
    it's been absolutely amazing.

    there was a slight hiccup on friday, where apparently he had had a panic attack on wednesday and didn't tell me. and the reason he didn't tell me is because the panic attack was from him getting freaked out that what we've been doing must be too good to be true, the shoe was going to drop and he was going to be crushed. he thought he ruined the potential of us having a relationship by letting things go too far too fast and was just overwhelmed by the whole thing. (which i actually think is pretty darn precious, just wish the poor dude didn't have to have a panic attack over it). so on friday, he was trying to reel things back a bit and to me it was like, oh and he's the rejection i've been expecting!

    but then amazingly, on saturday, and then some more on sunday, we completely talked through everything. and he never got angry, or defensive, or stormed off (which was 97% of any discussion from my previous relationship). we came to a mutual conclusion on going forward and how we wanted to keep going forward. it was kinda awesome.

    like really awesome. super great even ;)

    and now he's determined to help me get my house done. my place has been in a constant state of "under construction" since i bought it. the ex wasn't exactly carpentry savvy, or motivated, so nothing was ever finished. lots and lots of starts, nothing finished. so yesterday we spent the whole day working on the dining room that still had naked walls and exposed insulation. one of the things he said while we were working that just totally made me melt was "just so you know, we're going to be eating dinner in here before the end of this week. this will be done" *sqee!*

    yeah i'm pretty sure i've decided to keep him :D

    I confess I'd like to strangle my husband for eating my Graze flapjacks (by far the best of all the Graze snacks) without asking...especially when I buy him an entire box (or 2) of granola bars each week. :(
    While muttering under my breath about how irritated I was by this, my sweet son reminded me that we're supposed to share. Lesson learned.

    I also confess that I'm starting to freak out a bit because preschool starts in exactly two months from today! What???? Where has my little baby gone?

    Awwww how cute is that??

    Thank you! I remember someone (maybe you) posted a recipe for them before but I never copied it down!

    And yes, he is excited most days...but sometimes he says, "No Mama, I want to stay home with you"! Awww :(
    To be honest, it's mostly me that I'm worried about! He'll have new friends, toys, games, and stuff to learn. I'll just be home by myself, without my little sidekick. I know it'll be fine...after all, it's only Tuesdays and Thursdays for 3 hours. I'll probably end up loving the alone time...but for now, I'll be sad.

    @kellyjellybellyjelly, interesting thoughts about PLL. I'll be shocked though if they really tell us who A is once and for all.

    I have mentioned this before, but that is exactly how it will go.

    Last summer was the first time both my kids had real full time jobs. They were both rather homebodies at night, so I maybe got one night alone a year for the last 17 years, and then all of a sudden, they were both gone from like 3pm into the late evening, almost every night. At first I was a bit freaked out, and would go out every time they both worked, which was many nights a week. If I was at home, I could not relax. After a few weeks, it got a little better, and then by the end of the summer, it was fine.

    Then my daughter left for school in the fall, and my son continued to work several nights a week all year.

    My daughter came back, and she is on a rotating shift, and gets a LOT of day shifts....now I get super excited if they are both working night shift so I can have some alone time, lol. This magically night happens tomorrow this week. I can't wait! It seems to only happen once every couple weeks now......however, she will be leaving for school in less than two months, and my son always works evenings. :p
