  • Ok, other than logging my food (and too much of it) I've not had time to read much on the boards. So . . . I just read several pages and I didn't see one "Hey Cheryl, where did you go??" Doesn't anyone miss me? :happy: Positive Power - admitting to lying on a resume is never a good idea, although lying on one usually is…

  • MegBlair - my kids fell through the ice and were rescued last year. This year they were just interviewed for a segment ABC did on how to survive falling through ice. My daughter rocked, the rest of us were left on the cutting room floor. Sue - didn't know you were born in New Orleans. Of course Biloxi is just a hop skip…

  • Welcome Kimmy. I live in Chicago now but am from New Orleans. And all bets are off when I visit because there isn't a single dish I've been living without that I won't indulge in while there. My daughter is going next month because she's been accepted to Tulane and is going to spend a night in the dorm and see what she…

  • Welcome back Mary - is your poodle a blue? Mine will be three in July and I thought he'd be done turning colors but he isn't. His tail is almost completely turned and his ears have huge streaks in them and when he is shaved you can see the silver hairs in the black. Is your dog in between too? Glenda - not famous, just the…

  • This was the commercial about the segment that was aired tonight, and honestly, other than my daughter speaking in this you didn't see much more of the interview they did with us. You do see us all standing by the pond, but that's it. http://abclocal.go.com/wls/video?id=8977497 Here's the segment…

  • Oh, we're on the news because both of my children fell through the ice on a pond last winter and were fortunately rescued by neighbors. Tonight they are doing a segment on ice safety and how to survive falling through ice. They wanted to interview folks who had survived the experience. It's been really funny how much they…

  • There's a naked man on our forum :blushing: I can't possibly read all these posts. Barbie, I don't know what you're doing but anything with "cleanse" in it doesn't sound inviting. Makes me think of the things I have to do to have a colonoscopy - which definitely cleanses :tongue: Jane, did you have lunch with Laura? I want…

  • I have a goal. No eating anything at work that I did not bring or pay for. That's it. It seems to be the main thing bumping my calories.

  • I'm sure I'm not the first one to think this but I think my scale is broken. It said I gained 2 pounds today. I know I've not really been - eating "losing" calories, but I've still been eating just under my maintenance calories - in fact my net calories for the week were where they needed to be. So mathematically I know I…

  • Ugghhhh. My daughter received an email for an admissions interview from Princeton!!! Only 8% of applicants are accepted to Princeton. She requested an interview for tomorrow and said the earlier the interview can be completed the better as she has very few openings in the future. She then said they might be able to look at…

  • Liz, I am addicted to my fitbit. Get one!!! I love that it automatically adds a portion of the calories that I burn back to what I have available to eat. Sure takes the guesswork out of it.

  • Awwww Barb - I went and checked out your husband - he is soooo in love with you - how sweet. That's how mine is also and I can't figure out how I deserve him :blushing: Good thing you didn't friend him - he didn't think it was funny when I told him I'd invited all the ladies on the board to do that. He's funny - at first…

  • DeeDee is this what you went through? Here's my husband this summer about half way done :laugh: Well today was weigh in day and the scale showed me what it should have - that I've been eating maintenance calories - not lose calories. I had a .2 gain. :tongue:

  • This should be a more active board since I know we must have many more horse lovers. For me I am finding it more difficult to get my calorie burn without all the riding I did in the summer and Fall. :sad: To my credit I did ride in 10 degree weather last weekend, but only for 20 minutes and only in my pasture.:drinker:…

  • I can't shake what seems a real depression today. There was a young man in our neighborhood who went missing on Sunday morning. He left a party on foot with just a hoody on. He called friends at 1:30 am and said he was cold and lost. They said they couldn't find him, but damn, why did they stop trying?? Yesterday evening…

  • Lori H – I have a vacation property in Missouri and trust me, no one has ever heard of Gravois Mills, Mo. But when I say it is in Lake of the Ozarks, then they know. MWheatcraft – sugar is my addiction and even with watching my calories I still manage to get plenty into my diet. I think next week I will concentrate on…

  • DeeDee you have more gremlins than anyone. I had a busy weekend. Of course, I always have a busy weekend. Despite the cold I was actually able to ride a couple of animals. Yesterday I just rode in the pasture which is always scary because I just know if one of the loose horses takes off at a gallop then the one I'm on is…

  • Thanks for the encouraging words. Megblair, they just kept calling me and I kept hanging up on them. Finally one day I said, "Listen, you will NOT BE ABLE to refinance this property because the mortgage is $200,000 more than the value of the house, and it is an investment property. To which they said, "We know that and we…

  • Ok, is this not the slowest weight loss ever??!!! I do believe I've lost my momentum. My goal was to hit 145 by my birthday on June 22nd. Seemed like a piece of cake. Now I'm not so sure. I might have to be happy with being in the 140's by my birthday. Katla - I just finished my refinance yesterday and it was unbelievable…

I've yet to dye my hair. Ironically though I was looking forward to dying my hair. I was going to get creative. Now I'm afraid if…

  • After 7 days (including the weekend) of 16 hour work days - non stop - I succumbed. My manager who is in India right now had left her cookies unprotected on her desk. I ate 7 of them!!! Is anyone missing me yet? I've had no time to read anything lately. Oh well, today is my last day killing myself.
