Hi ladies! Not enough time to reply to all... have to do a thorough reading later! Weigh-in 230.4. I think that's .2 down from last week. I haven't changed my weight in the actual mfp system since I was 219, so perhaps I should update that. Hmm. Lacey, just quickly, we did salted caramel popcorn balls, sugar cookies (from…

Hello ladies! I'm just going to do a catch up post from my last post. There is faaaaaaaar too much to read before that. Apologies! Jessi, hilarious story about your bro. Love it. One time when I was a kid I told people my mom had "given up drinking." The lady hasn't had a drop of alcohol in her life. No idea where I came…

Sooooo ready for this workweek to be over. Having the London boss in for audit time is stressful. Sorry I haven't been able to post much, and I've barely been able to skim everyone's posts! I'll catch up eventually, I promise. That being said, Lacey, your post about things your daughter said cracks (no pun intended) me up.…

Hi ladies! Busy week this week with my London-side boss in town to do an audit so I won't be able to log on here much. That being said of the posts I remember... Pam, on one of the seasons of Biggest Loser, I remember one of the contestants or Jillian saying they hadn't reached their daily 6000 target burn. I think the…

I've been sitting here for the last half hour studying the firehouse subs menu and how to tweak the sammies for lunch. This is what happens when I don't go to the store and plan ahead. I think I've got it figured out. The Engineer sammie (turkey, mushrooms and swiss) no mayo... 480 cals. It would be 380 without the cheese,…

Okay! Caught up a bit. First off, thanks to everyone who wished me well! I'm still not 100% but feeling better today. Now I don't know if I have cold or allergies or a combo of the two. I think it may be the combo. Friday I was feeling crappy again, but that doesn't compare to Saturday. Ohhhhhhh, Saturday. Joe and I woke…

Wow, need to catch up on posts... Barely down this week from last... 230.6

WB Amy and Lacey! I'm about to go FB stalk your pictures because I don't want to do any work at all today. You both look amazing!!! Was feeling WAY better yesterday but today I'm all stufftacular again! Booooo. Sorry I haven't written an individual post. I blame cold-crankiness for my laziness.

Alright... back at work today! Yesterday I took a "sick day" and ended up having the busiest work day I've had in months. So much for that. Feeling much better though. Throat is still a smidge sore and there's a snottal presence, but overall better. Is it the weekend yet? Today I have to drive to Timbuktu (well, 48 miles…

Kristina, you missed me somehow. It was a gain, so I'm not crushed that I'm not on the list... Will write more when I don't feel like dying. I've gotten some manner of random cold/crud and feel awful. Unfortunately, I'm at my desk instead of napping at home.

Bumpity bump bump. Kristina, that list is insanely long, and those are just the people who haven't checked in?! You are a saint for tracking our progresses for us!

Jessi, 1 stone = 14lbs I believe. Amy and Lacey, have SO much fun! I've already seen a picture posted by Amy that looks like one of the cafes in the main square, like across from the bell tower? If that's where it is, I've been there!!! That city is so lovely. Definitely recommend the canal tour.

Here we go! Crystal, your story about the dog cracked me up! I'm sorry you're having so many issues with your kiddo's dad. That's not an easy situtation at all. Victoria, Happy anniversary!! You're an amazing lady. Tasha, my pooch is a poodle mix of some sort. I got her at the SPCA, so I'm not sure and am not curious…

Okay, so... weigh in was 231.2 which I think is slightly up from the last weigh in before my pass, but WAY better than the 240ish I registered after my birthday weekend (which is why I took the pass!). Will catch up on posts and write a longer message in a bit.

Happy Friday, ladies! Kendal, that post made me lol. I am getting through this day at work by listening to Queen. I've always liiiiiiked Queen, but I'm really starting to appreciate them for realsies. Had a final appointment with the ENT. My scar is apparently healing beautifully and I don't have to go back to him…

I don't know why this just occurred to me (maybe because I'm jealously looking at Amy and Lacey's Paris photos on FB) but I never answered a question Amy asked. No, I don't live in San Antonio. I'm in Houston. But Joe and I love to go to San Antonio every year. We went once before we were "official" and again for our…

Woohoo, Pam! Awesome run! Hallie, it's not necessarily sad tears. A lot of the contestants have sob stories, and that makes me cry, but mostly I cry when they do well in a challenge or lose a metric farkton of weight in the weighin because they're so happy they start crying half the time. One dude lost 37 pounds in ONE…

Can I just say, I'm watching Biggest Loser on Hulu on my lunch break... and not 5 minutes in, I'm bawling. Friggin' show...

I was thinking of doing that. Ugh.

On a facebook related note: WHAT THE *kitten*?!?!!! The new news feed is total butt.

Hi all! Didn't check in yesterday as I was stuck at our Logistics Hub all day doing a "risk assessment." SNOOZERS. Bobbie, your girl in half analogy is totally correct. I feel like I live dual lives when it comes to my family. I'm one person with them and another altogether with Joe and my friends. It's really kinda sad,…

okay, so this is likely to be a GIANT post. First thing, thanks everyone for the birthday wishes!!! So the birthday insanity started Wednesday night. Joe took me to the local dive bar that always has karaoke and cheap, cheap drinks. Needless to say... I had a night. Woke up the next morning for my actual birthday and ran a…

Sooooooo, I've got about 8 pages of reading to catch up on. But, for now... a big fat birthday pass for my weigh-in this week. I didn't even try to go up on that jerk scale this morning. My distended belly is an accurate enough depiction of this weekend's jackassery.

Kendal, no offense taken at all. I think you may be right. Her increasing "nobody loves you but your mother" attitude is actually starting to get frightening. God forbid you suggest it to her though... She goes bonkers if you imply anything about her health.

Blah, another fun and exciting morning in mom/daughter fight land... First off, for the newbies, welcome! I'm Nava, I'm turning 31 tomorrow. I received my undergraduate degree in French (which I've never put to good use) and then went to law school and graduated/passed the bar in 2005. I think I'm putting that one to good…

yeeeeeeeee, Vitamin B shot today. I think I did it wrong as my thigh is super stiff and achy.

Welcome Beth, Christine, and bmj (tell us your first name)! Thanks for all the support ladies. It's just really tough because I do love my family, but ugh. Now I'm consumed with thoughts of... it's my birthday this week... is my mom even going to call? Is my dad? Am I going to go to grandma's like I usually do every Sunday…

Lacy, I definitely agree. I think the most shocking thing for mom is that this is the first time in my life I'm truly sticking to my own guns. Every other major decision in my life, I've made with my parents' feelings in mind rather than my own. This includes going to law school (I wanted to be a teacher, they wanted me to…

I wouldn't say I really won any victories... But I did stick up for myself... so ugh. Now I just don't know where to go from here. I guess all I can do is continue living my life as I see fit and maybe, just maybe things will work out.

Hi Ladies! Weigh-in first... 228.6 which is down from my non-weighin last week, but up in general, so bleh. Lacey, that totally sucks about your mani/pedi/eyebrow experience! I've found that the groupons and living social deals on spa services are generally too good to be true. My recommendation would be to check the place…
