  • Thanks for starting this thread! My scale is on its way out the door...I have to step on about 5 times to get an accurate reading. Thanks to your reviews I just ordered a Health o Meter body fat scale off of Amazon for $25 (including shipping). I think that's a great price, and I'm looking forward to getting it! Now I'm…
  • Laina, you were a shopping queen today! Great haul!
  • aprildauer - Regarding your plateau, my only advice is to change it up. Our bodies adapt to whatever we do often, weather that be exercises or the kinds of food we eat a lot. So, start doing new things. Eat new foods (maybe a new amount), and try new exercises. You gotta shock your system and keep it guessing. You'll break…
  • Wow, I am digging all of the great news that is swirling around in here! You ladies are all amazing. I'm still riding the high after my first 5K last Sunday. Had a fantastic time. My endorphins were in high gear and I actually enjoyed the race! I wanted to keep going! :laugh: At the finish line they gave us a medal and a…
  • I don't know anything about this Clinique $10 mascara. I'm going to have to look into it. I had the Revlon Zoom mascara and it took a while to get used to, but that little comb-like brush was actually great for getting the baby lashes and for separating 'em out. nolachick - that Tarte set looks great! I love sets that come…
  • AWWWW Jen! That's such a sweet story! :heart: I'm using womanfreebies.com. It is fun getting that free sample in the mail every now and then! Sure beats bills. :laugh:
  • aprildauer, WTG rocking the workouts! Nikstergirl, owies on the back/hip. I'm glad you decided to cut out on your workout early...even though you felt fine later, who knows what kind of pain you'd be in if you kept running. My Thursday happy list: I made my first Lush Line glass tonight, my puppies have been on good…
  • Well that is good news that your knee isn't broken! Hope you feel right as rain soon.
  • If you have a Nordstrom Rack, go there! Nordstrom carries small band/large cup bras, so Nordy Rack has those bras but cheaper! Also, check out www.bravissimo.com. It is a UK company that has gorgeous bras and clothing for gals who have smaller rib cages with larger boobies.
  • Boobs. Giggidy. But honestly, yeah, prepare to see lefty and righty shrink some. I for one loved my girls, or as one of my gay boys called them "God's perfect pillows". They were a G cup (in Cacique brand sizing) and obnoxious. Now that I've lost appx. 30 pounds, I'm down to a DDD/DDDD and I'm also a band size or two down.…
  • OK, but promise me that if your knee is still hurting in a few days that you go see a pro? Ladybu, wow you have been busy! Sorry your daughter is having a rough time at school. Mean kids are just the worst. Hope your court date, and finding a new place to live, both go smoothly! My Wednesday dose of happy: -it is a…
  • Ouch April! Is your knee swollen and bruised? Can you get into a doc/urgent care to make sure it isn't something more serious?
  • Oy sorry for the double post ladies. I was posting from my phone and the wi-fi connection was a little squirrelly. But I did want to say that I got back on the scale after waking up (I got on the scale when I woke up after about 5 hours of sleep) from my full amount of rest, and I'm officially recording 168.8. Still up,…
  • Cee, thank you!! <3 Your positivity in simply waking up to live another day is something we should all strive to remember. Wednesday Weigh-In for me...and my Lenten promise has come back to bite me in the *kitten*. I'm clocking in at 169.4. I'm one pound up from my (cheat) weigh on Thursday. If I had stuck to my word, I…

  • I need to catch up in here! And on my happies... Sunday - the weather was fascinating to watch, napping and snuggling under blankets all day was wonderful, got a little photography practice in as I tried to take pictures of the moat that had taken over our front yard. :laugh: Yesterday - finally got to see one of my movies…
  • Maybelline Very Black Falsies is SO MUCH BETTER than Black Drama Waterproof Falsies. I'm so glad I exchanged that crap. The brushes are different, too. Very Black has a spoon brush (curved but widened out), where the Black Drama was a regular rounded brush that just happened to be curved. nolachick - sorry to hear the…
  • Happy first day of Spring! Instead of being sunny and warm, it looks more like that Vietnam rain scene from "Forest Gump" here. :laugh: Crazy. I'll get back in here later today or tomorrow to give everyone the attention they deserve! :love:
  • I too vote for Michelob Ultra. Less than 100 calories and isn't bad at all. I tried a blueberry beer the other day and it was absolutely delicious...until I logged it and found out it was 250 cals/12 oz. Yikes!
  • April, congrats on being down! You've got your momentum going now. Bru, yay! 6 minutes is a BIG difference. Enjoy the Chinese food. My Friday happy list: 1) visited the Reagan Presidential Library and really enjoyed it. My favorite part was walking through Air Force One and seeing a beam that was a part of Ground Zero. 2)…
  • My happies for today: I finishes laying bark down on the walkway, we had a great indulgence-filled St. Pats, and even though I broke my Lenten promise I climbed onto the scale this morning and saw 168.4. Wonderful Thursday, and here's to a great Friday!
  • Oh and a fun fact about diet sodas and alcohol...apparently the way the chemicals in diet soda interact with the alcohol makes for a STRONGER alcoholic effect. Who'da thunk?
  • On average, a glass (appx. 5 ounce pour) of wine or a light beer will run you about 100 calories. Enjoying one glass of red wine is good for your heart, two glasses of red wine is even better for your heart, but once you get to three glasses all of those good properties are cancelled out. A shot of vodka is about 60…
  • tannie - nearly 20 pounds in four weeks?! That's phenomenal. *bow* Bru - eeps that the inlaws are completely moved in. Johnny Five alive!! Oh, and tell me more about your Thai experience! What did you end up ordering? Hooray for getting money back from Verizon! Have fun with that! And look at that cute little fuzzy you…
  • There's most definitely a difference in that one month! You're looking hawt!
  • Wow! Those pictures look like two completely different women. Congratulations on your transformation!! And I agree with others, those 47 pounds went a long way in reshaping your body!
  • Nolachick - hmm what would I compare Cover Girl Lash Blast Fusion to...well the brush is one of those little rubber spikey ones, which is nice for separating lashes out and getting good coverage. High Beam is nice! I have the sample size of that too. A very little bit goes a long way on this stuff. Your swap haul looks…
  • My first happy for Wednesday - weighed in at 169.8! *happy dance*
  • OK I really promise that I'll catch up with everyone tomorrow! Been enjoying the gorgeous weather by being outside so much to let myself get wrapped up by playing online. Happiness for today: we went looking for a bike for me and found some really cute options, we did another great chunk of work on the back yard and it is…
  • Happy week 5, lovelies! I'll get back in here and comment but for now wanted to get my happies written down...hubby and I have been playful with each other all day, we did a great job cleaning up the jungle that is our back yard and it is nearly usable again, and saw THE CUTEST "wipe your paws" bear statue that I just…
