So, trying something new to help me remember y'all's real names. Sorry the post is so long. I've been reading all week, just haven't really made the time to respond. Sorry if I missed anyone. Nancy (PanteraGirl), wow, you have some big possible life crossroads ahead. Ultimately, I think you will just feel what the best…

So sorry Karen!!

Happy Monday Ladies! Thanks Jalara for compiling the stats! What a cool group of women. And that pic you just posted - HOTT!! Alisa, I'm so happy you got to talk to your hubby and that you're now counting days, not months, until you see him! It's even more awesome that he thinks the friendship is the center of your…

I know, seriously a dumb move! Maybe their numbers show more attendance in the winter, but it is oppressively hot here in Georgia in August, so swimming indoors is one of the best alternatives to being outside. We just keep telling ourselves that maybe it'll be a lot nicer when they're done. Ho hum. Pam, sorry to hear…

Happy Hump Day Ladies! I love all the re-intros. It helps A LOT with remembering everything about everyone, especially since the board has been growing so much. Karen, I'm envious of your splurge meal. Love, love, love grilled cheese! Oh, & post some pics of your new haircut when you get a minute. Tara, glad you're trying…

Great Idea J to reintroduce ourselves! And I see a few more newbies since yesterday, so WELCOME! Here's my info... Name: Stephanie Age: 34 Where you live: Marietta, Georgia Job: Account Director for a Global Printing Company Length of time on the board: 5+ months Marital Status: Married Length of time you've been with SO:…

Happy Monday Ladies! A slow morning at work (super yay after last week!), so I actually have some free time to check in with y'all. Warning, long post. Kimberly, Let me know how it goes with the Wii Zumba. Wii active games have actually been a big part of my exercise plan. They're really great fillers when it's too late to…

Y'all are cracking me up today! :laugh: Just what I needed. Welcome Bonnie & Destiny. Workout 1 of 2 done for tonight (yoga & strength for me & then to the gym later with DH for cardio), yay!

I seriously need to start replying twice a day to keep up! Ha! Ashley - SUPER BIG, WONDERFUL CONGRATS!!! So absolutely thrilled for you. Alisa - Thanks for the support. It's pretty easy to stay active in Hawaii, especially because you're outdoors all the time. We spent a lot of time in the water: swimming in both the pool…

Hello all. Had a few minutes to check in. ALISA - good luck with your goals. You have such a great thing to look forward to at the end of the month! You & DH are going to love Hawaii!! MADBABYSMAMA - Welcome aboard the TTC roller coaster - Hope your ride is short! KIMBERLY - Welcome & great weekly goals! LMR9 - Hope your…

Hello ladies! Wow, so much activity while I've been gone this week!! It's been a bit of a roller coaster for me too the past few days. I'll fill y'all in and then I'll just have to start fresh with everyone on the new thread, sorry I can't comment individually. This week's weigh in: MFP SW (March 2011): 211 Calendar week…

Weighing in a couple of days early since in about 15 minutes we're leaving for HAWAII!!! We've got lots of active stuff planned, so here's hoping the damage won't be too bad. MFP SW (March 2011): 211 Calendar week 26: 183.4 (-1.4) Calendar week 27: 181.4 (-2.0) Calendar week 28: 179.6 (-1.8) Calendar week 29: 178.6 (-1.0)…

Ahh, Thursday, the end of the week is in sight! And this week has been a doozy too. Just a day and a half until vacation!! MEGGAMIX, don't stress about taking it at your pace. My obgyn wanted to push for exploratory surgery to look for endometriosis, but I think there are a lot more less invasive steps before we resort to…

Wow, when I promised that I would keep up better this week, I had no idea there would be so much activity in a day and a half! In general, I just want to say that I believe in all of you and together we're much, much stronger than the weight of everything we're going through. Hang tough and sending lots of positive…

Sorry I haven't been keeping up with all the conversation the last few days! We went out of town this weekend and I only briefly logged in on my phone to keep up my consecutive days. I'll try to be on a little more this week to make up for it! This is a big month for me in the weight loss journey. Two couple friends'…

My main thing that inspires me is gorgeous women with curves. I've always thought that Sherilyn Fenn (from the 90s show Twin Peaks) is just so striking and has always been one of my favorite actresses. I also think Jennifer Love Hewitt knows how to work her curves. I also want to be a little more in shape so I can rock 50s…

Jalara, great idea about the pics! I particularly like the one about our inspirations. I'll start looking tonight too. Phshhnet, great job with starting the before work workouts! I just can't get that motivated early in the day! Elizabeth, fingers crossed for you! Starting in August would be awesome! Ashley, thanks for the…

Happy Monday Everyone! ELIZABETH, Good luck with your decision making process. If you're comfortable with it, please keep us posted on what to expect as part of the insemination process. That's probably the next step for us after I hit my weight goals (assuming we're not lucky in the meantime) and there's a little…

Two comments in one day for me, crazy!! Just wanted to say that I think I'm becoming addicted to exercise, more specifically yoga (it's amazingly restorative!). I had the worst headache when I got home from work and after I worked out I feel fantastic! This is really a milestone for me, because I used to abhor exercise for…

Hey gals! Just dropping in for a minute, I just got back from a short business trip to New York and I am exhausted! Between the holiday, the trip, and AF (grrr), I feel all out of whack with eating, weird exercise schedule, cramps, etc. On the bright side, today is day 100 for me on MFP!! It's so great to see so many…

Finally, a Monday I'm excited about, since it is a holiday!! Didn't get to sleep in though, part of my team has to work today to support our Europe operations and one guy called really early for help because he couldn't figure out something about his computer (He just had to reboot it!). Ah, the joys of management! Sorry I…

Oh my, CONGRATULATIONS Katie & Suzanne!!! Elizabeth, how are you feeling after the HSG? Hope it went well! And welcome to a few more newbies!

Happy Monday! SW: 211 (March 2011) Calendar week 19: 193.6 Calendar week 20: 189.8 (-3.8) Calendar week 21: 189.2 (-0.6) Calendar week 22: 187.4 (-1.8) Calendar week 23: 186.2 (-1.2) Calendar week 24: 184.0 (-2.2) Calendar week 25: 184.8 (+0.8) Calendar week 26: 183.4 (-1.4) Starting the week on a good high! Treated myself…

I love that in just a few days we have so much activity on this board! Warning, lots of comments below. :smile: ASHLEY, Sorry about the family challenges. Most of my close friends know, but we haven't really told our parents. My mom knows that a side effect of PCOS is difficulty with conceiving, so I think that's kept her…

SW: 211 (March 2011) Calendar week 19: 193.6 Calendar week 20: 189.8 (-3.8) Calendar week 21: 189.2 (-0.6) Calendar week 22: 187.4 (-1.8) Calendar week 23: 186.2 (-1.2) Calendar week 24: 184.0 (-2.2) Calendar week 25: 184.8 (+0.8) Just a couple of minutes to check in this morning. I am so bummed, I was good about drinking…

So excited, it is almost the weekend!!! Figured I'd check in with everyone before I got too far behind with all the new comments. :wink: PAM, how was the milkshake? I'm not usually a fan of coconut milk, but I think with the strawberries, it might be pretty yummy. JOHANNA, keeping your niece in our thoughts and prayers.…

Yup. In the US, there's an federal income tax and most states have an additional income tax as well. The federal government also charges a social security tax (retirement) and a medicare tax (limited health care in retirement age). Unemployment is paid by your employer. Schools and other local services are paid through…

Good morning everyone!! I'm having a good feeling about the week, DH is on a business trip today and tomorrow and I had no meetings on my calendar, so I decided today would be a great day to work from home. I'm not usually very productive when he is here (he works from home most of the time), we end up talking too much!…

Happy Friday!!!! :drinker: It's quiet at work this morning, so I figured I'd procrastinate a little more and spend a few minutes catching up here. I've never really been a board/chat person online, so it is surprising to me how quickly I feel close to all of you and look forward to reading all your updates. I guess that's…

Hang in there Carina! It's a long journey. Sending you some extra special luck this week. I'm sure you looked great at the wedding too!!
