Hello (again) P3!!! I promise to follow protocol this time!

[shelbyla]

Hi Vee. I'm not sure about calorie counts yesterday as I am unfortunately at the mercy of the nutritional needs of a 3 year old and a 6 year old (i.e. if the kids want apples and there are only 2, the adults don't get apples! ), a brother who thinks that vegetables = lettuce (because that is all that the kids will eat), and a SIL who eats like a bird! I had about a cup of yogurt plus at least 6 oz of blueberries (300 cals?), 2 decent sized chicken thighs (400 cals?), about 3 servings of almond butter (600 cals!!!), 3 oz of cheese (300 cals). I also forgot that I had about 1/2c of peanuts and a piece of roasted pork. So probably enough of both protein and calories but that's just a guess. I really need to stay away from nuts AND booze, frankly! Small quantities, ok. Jar of almond butter and a spoon, not so much! Scale didn't change this morning but I HAVE put my foot down and said that we need to buy !!!!!!!VEGETABLES!!!!!!! today--in large quantities! NOT just the one or two small zucchini in their garden but actual vegetables, even if it means (gasp!) purchasing them at a grocery store!

Anyway, love them but it's seriously all about the kids--I gotta look out for myself. I am just lucky that there was even protein around! Thanks for your concern!

[VEEnVEGAS]

Lol...hi Shelby...guess I was doing what I have to be careful NOT to do with my own diet...underestimate calories! Not knowing the size of your portions, it just sounded like such a small amount of food.

I am only in D4 of P3 and feel like sometimes I am force feeding myself just to keep my calories at the 1600-1700 level...so far no change on the scales from my LDW.

Really do understand it being all about the kids too...been there, done that!
Glad you're having a great time and wishing you a really fun 4th of July filled with lots of really yummy barbeque!!!

[1BellaDonna]

dazygrl-its a frieling scale...sorry, it took me so long to respond. i had cruddy reception at my vegas hotel.

julieboolie-thank you! i had a wonderful birthday. i usually lose in vegas and i came back with $1800 from the slots! yippee!!! the money will come in handy for our bills, since i'm on break for a total of 5 weeks and don't get paid. BOO!!! i also got to spend time with my good friend and go to the new kids on the block/backstreet boys concert. it sure was fun having girlie-time. lol i'm actually on p4 (just never started a new thread) but will go back to p2 in about a week.

cathy/shelby- i missed you girlies!! :-( so glad to see posts upon my return. shelby-sorry about your lack of good food options. you can come here and you'll have a ton of fresh produce options. i'm a bit of a food **** with my kids. lol i'm getting somewhat more lenient, in that i let my 4 year old have his first popsicle yesterday. lol i tend to be more into european way of eating, i've been told. my kids consider dessert to be fruit and i only give them an occasional piece of dove chocolate (not the junky candy) as a treat. my poor 4 year old was 2 1/2 before he even knew the word "cookie" and that was only bc of an accident. hopefully, they'll enjoy so many healthy foods that they will make good choices (more often than not) when offered junk. well, one can hope! lol

157 before vegas and 159 this morning. it's also TOM, so i'm hoping TOM will take a pound or two with it. i doubt it though. :-( i'm having a hard time with my bulimia again...lots of guilt just eating in general. it's so annoying to battle this bc it's not like i've lost from it. in fact, i could barely keep anything down. while i DESPISE P2, i can't wait to go back on it, so i can get my head together again. i'll also do the lasering thing then. we'll see. i'm just feeling out of control right now bt the hormones and bulimia rearing its ugly head again. hope you ladies are having a great day and had a fun 4th of july! Hugs!!!!

[catjrow3]

Congrats Letitia on coming home with money, that is a nice change of pace. I always come back down down down too! (and not my weight!!) LOL

I am on VLCD day 1 again, back to get my head on straight again. I am also have trouble lately with my eating disorder and cannot stop myself from the binging, so I am hoping that this will get me back on track and my head on straight, and even more, back to where I was in May before this madness of cycling/binging again.

[dazygyrl]

thanks, bella. how did it work for you in vegas?

and a (((hug)))). hope those bulimia issues leave soon.

[1BellaDonna]

cathy- i'll be joining you next week. how long are you going for this go-round? you can do this! remember i'm here for you! ((((((hug))))))

dazy- the scale was consistent but i was not. lol vegas, was otherwise great! ;-) thanks for the hug. i need it today. i'm so sick of this demon called bulimia. hopefully tomorrow will be a better day. how are you doing on your journey?

[julieboolie]

back Bella! You did GREAT in Vegas!! You came home w. lots of cash, only gained 2 lbs (w/ TOM) and had a great time!! Perfect !

Shelby-LOL! You're doing well, especially w/ the limited options. Ah, children and diet, a big issue for me. I've been obese most of my life b/c of how I ate as a child, and was raised. I'm careful w. my kids and have taught them about eating healthy and staying active, but they do have enough treats so that "forbidden fruit" doesn't tempt them. Frozen yogurt is our fave!! Hope you can do some shopping and maybe introduce the kids to some yummy healthy things!

Cat-hope you have a good round. You can do it! you're due!! I'm gonna' be less rogue in my last round and hope that helps the scale start moving down!

I'm still working on getting back down where I'm supposed to be. I'm doing P2 again starting July 18, so I know I will get the scale moving then. I'm working out a lot and trying to build some muscle. I'm hoping some of the scale lbs are from that. Gonna' do a GYCD tomorrow if I'm not down a bit in the morning. I did a lot of cottage cheese today, some eggs, and some nuts. Went w/ a "protein" sparing kinda' CD. May do the protein shake day tomorrow. I got a good workout in and feel good. I can see and feel muscle, which makes me happy, but I'd like to get that annoying fat layer off too! P2 will be miserable, but hopefully effective this time for me!

Have a great night all!

i can't find a travel scale by that brand. where do you get it?

my journey is going really well! i'm in p3 and doing well. sitting just 0.6 above LDW today on day 4. gonna eat lighter today, not that i got some foods out of the way that have been on my mind wayyyy too much...lol!

hope you have a great day!

[catjrow3]

Thanks Letitia, sorry you are struggling with bulimia now too! The binging is driving me over the top!! Why can we not control this?? UGh!! I am going to try for 40 days... but I will take it as it comes... my usual motto...if it gets too hard and I am ready to start binging, I will try to go to P3 instead, but hopefully 40 days!

Julie, thanks hun! Look forward to seeing you again in the P2 group too!! Are you far off track or just a bit? I am not going quite as rogue this time either... I am not going to do my yogurt either unless I get really sick of food by the end...

So after skyrocketing over 10 lbs with 3 days more or less of loading.. I was down a full 10 lbs this morning! In one day, yesterday 174.4, this morning 164.4... I knew it was water... I felt like my skin was being stretched, and I am still way over where I ended last round, but hopefully it will come under control again! I was 100% on plan yesterday, which for me is a feat in itself. I have a tendency to "nibble" and I am not going to do it this time.... Heres to getting rid of 10 in one day

Heres to gaining control again and stopping the binge beast!!!

[1BellaDonna]

dazy-check that major website that sells everything and put in "travel scale". it will pop up and stand out to you bc it looks like a piano keyboard. i thought it was one name but when i looked at my invoice, it had a different one. let me know if you can't find it and i can email you the info. don't want to break any rules here.

cathy- sending you lots of hugs and encouragement. i was really really down yesterday bc i couldn't stop purging. i'd not been THAT bad in a while and don't know why it came back with such a vengeance. :-( i've stayed within my window, albeit at the higher end but still was feeling so anxious and stressed out. i hate bulimia but know that it will always be an issue (on some level) for me and that it will never go away completely. anyway, i'll be joining you on p2 soon. uggh. i dread those foods. lol Keep coming back here so I can cheer you on! you WILL do this! oxoxoxo P.S.-Glad you dropped those 10 lbs...even if you knew it was water, i'm sure it was a big relief! lol

Letitia, hugs to you I know this is demented, but when I binge, I wish I could purge it back out.. (of course, not really) but I feel so gross after I do it, and then I eat more out of more guilt! EDs suck!! All of them!! Enjoy your time left in P3/P4... so much better than P2... I am so much more disciplined in P2!!!

[shelbyla]

Well hi there guys! <<<hugs>>> to everyone having binging and bulemia issues. I have the binging (doesn't that word look weird? like bing'ing... ) but never had the purging. I have dealt with a lot of anxiety issues though, primarily related to adrenal and thyroid things. I've found that 100mg 5-htp before bed (double checking that dosage amount) and 400mg SAM-e on an empty stomach in the morning help significantly with anxiety. If I have midday stuff, I drink a St. John's Wort tea by Yogi tea. The herbals really seem to help me. Maybe something to try?

As for me, GY CD today. I really didn't go overboard at my brother's so I feel a little cheated that I came back 5 pounds up from where I left. I'm sure this is the result of too many nuts (easy food with kids around), too much booze (needed with kids around--lol), and my last day blowout with fair food, fresh and warm kettle corn and cotton candy. I figured, what the hay? I'm in P4, damnit! Yesterday was a half-a$$ attempt at a chicken CD but I ended up eating cashews in the airport. Airports are always a horrible binge trigger for me--maybe because I am almost always traveling alone so there is really no one to tell me "no" or to call me on eating 8oz of cashews in a sitting. Oh well, it could have been worse--could have been a pound of peanut M&M's! And I WAS tempted despite the bag being $16!

I'll see if I can get through today eating just GY. I just get so dang BORED with it by dinner time. Maybe I'll try a little savory GY this afternoon and leave out the berries...

On the boy front, we are still exchanging a text here or there (a couple on the 4th) but every time I ask him about getting together, I don't hear from him. Not really sure what is going on but probably has something to do with our economic/life circumstances. Me: well-established, owns own home, stable with current job for 20+ years, makes good money. Him: young father supporting teenaged son, living with parents due to sparse work, contractor on job by job basis, etc. 'Course none of this bothers me a bit but you know how men are--the idea of dating someone more successful (or whatever) is just weird. Frankly, I'm getting a bit tired of it and although I'm still interested, I'm getting fed up with checking my phone to see if he's deigned to let me know if he has any free time or interest in seeing me. If the answer is "no", just freakin' SAY THAT, dude! Jeesh. There are PLENTY of more age-appropriate, hell, more LIFE-CIRCUMSTANCE appropriate men who are waiting to date me. I don't care HOW cute you are (or your other outstanding attributes)--you can't just drop off the face of the planet but expect me to be waiting around for you!

Ok, just needed to get THAT out, obviously! Thanks for listening!

[shelbyla]

Btw, Julie and Letitia, I wanted to give you kudos for keeping your children on the healthy track as far as food goes. My parents gave us very healthy food but my Mom has a crazy sweetooth so in addition to all of the homemade, garden fresh, farm fresh foods we ate (grew all our own veggies, raised or hunted our own meat), my mom was always baking homemade cookies, pies, cakes, breads, muffins, etc. Fresh, yes. Healthy, no. While I ate a lot healthier than most kids, I also developed that deadly love of refined sugar. I think keeping kids away from it is critical so WTG, you both!

[dazygyrl]

Oh! I DID see a piano! Didn't know that was it. Thanks!

[1BellaDonna]

julie- thank you!!! aren't you a positive person!?!?!!! Sending you big hugs!!!

dazygrl- yay!! glad you found it!!

cathy- i understand what you mean bc i don't always purge. no matter what, the guilt is there with all ed's. i hate knowing that i could die from purging yet still do it. THAT makes me feel even sicker. :-( anyway, on to happier things...today is a new day, for us both. i did a GY CD today and I think that doing the CD, drinking a ton of water, and TOM leaving will have a positive affect on the scale tomorrow...i hope. ;-) I really would like to start my next P2 with only 10 lbs to lose. With the way it's scheduled, I'd get to be on P3 when I go to Iowa for my brother-in-law's wedding. I really am not in the mood for trying to figure P2 out from a hotel room. lol

Shelby- how was your GY day? were you staying strong? nuts get me bad. i love those danged little things. how is GY served as a savoury? i had never heard of that before you mentioned it. ---thanks for the nice words about my kids' nutrition. i have a horrendous addiction to sugar and it is a major trigger food for overeating and for my bulimia. my parents exposed me to lots of good and healthy stuff but i definitely migrated to the sugar and it's what i used to hide/hoard at the start of my ED. I know my kids will be exposed to it a lot when they get to be school aged but I'd like for them to enjoy, appreciate, and seek the good stuff too. I am so sad when I see kids who are obese and/or chunky in elementary school, when the parents are the ones making their food choices for them. I know how painful it is to worry about weight at a young age (i did my first diet--carrots and water--at age 12) and in hindsight, i wasn't "fat", just a little flabby. I hate seeing kids who only know boxed mac and cheese, processed chicken nuggets, fries, fake cheese, breaded/deep fried previously frozen food, and crappy refined sugar. it's like they're destined to have food/weight problems. :-( i think I saw how european kids ate and would prefer my kids to eat that way. i'd much rather my kids eat a little bit of an occasional fresh crepe with some chocolate than weekly doritos and chips ahoy. BLECH! i think hcg has helped me in this manner too. now, i don't want to waste my dabble with sweets or carbs to be wasted on the cheapo, low quality stuff. i want a little of the GOOD chocolate over a lot of the crap. HA! we'll see how long this lasts!!! LMAO (Hey, notice that I have a love-hate relationship with my Shift key??) -----NOW ON TO THAT GUY...i'd completely drop him. you can do MUCH better. i'm equal opportunity with guys (well, pre-marriage-lol) and i've dated all races, social classes, etc. I have to admit that my only "type" was good looking-player-badboy. :-) with the younger guys, i was always ahead of them with education, experiences (eg. living overseas), and money. I think some guys aren't intimidated by a female who's very successful, no matter what their age, which is GOOD! my hubby came from more of a poor household whereas i grew up with well-educated parents and middle-class to upper-middle class lifestyle. in the end, he's been my perfect match (wasn't on paper when we met) and is even pursuing law school. he'll end up with a doctorate and i'll only have a lowly master's degree! lol okay, what my round-about way of saying things is i think you should continue keeping an open mind about the guys you date (not a certain age, education, payscale, etc) BUT don't accept a guy ignoring you. This guy does not seem worth your attention at all from what you've shared so far. You are waaaaaaaaaaaay too awesome to not be pursued or at least have a guy trying to meet you half way. Maybe this guy has an issue with pursuing ANYTHING, thus his situation. Too bad you don't live here in SD, I'd try to help you find a good one. ;-) OOh, i've been babbling on (sorry, i'm super opinionated. feel free to tell me to shut uuuuuuuuuuuup!- lol ). write soon and let me know how things are going!

so glad we're all back from our vacays and posting. i was going through withdrawal from you girls!! xoxoxo

Thanks! I do let them have sweets, probably too often, but am trying to teach them the joy of froyo over ice cream, fruit and smoothies over other baked goods etc. Dd (8) is gluten free which helps. Breaking the legacy I was raised with. Sigh.

On the boy front, btdt. Dh is 6 years younger, has his GED and lived at home when we met. I had my masters, had a good career and my own home. I encouraged him to go to college before we were dating, and he eventually became a computer programmer who now provides beautifully for our whole family. There were some tough years in there while he was "growing up", working through stuff, but it's certainly been worth it and we're quite happy. So, the circumstances and age won't matter, but if he's in a spot where he's got too much on his plate (which it sounds like he is), he won't have room or time to start something real w. you. Dating several guys can be fun too though .

Cat-I do better w. the strictness of P2 also, as much as I hate it. I will be there soon enough. I'm up 10lbs, but I really hope to lose 15 in the final P2 round. That would be wonderful, and I'd be SO happy to get down to 145. We'll see how that goes.

In the meantime, I'm "resetting my metabolism" and exercising. Gonna' try to keep it clean P3 while I'm away, but it's hard w. dh's family who eats mainly pizza.

KUTGW ladies!!

[shelbyla]

Morning ladies... Well, GY CD went ok although I was pretty hungry. I kept to GY only by the skin of my teeth. Ate more than I should have of both GY and berries (about 40oz and 20oz) but still saw a nice 2.2 drop this morning so I am only a little over my LDW at 155.3. Still would really like to be seeing those 151-152 numbers but I'll get back there with some healthy eating this week. The weekend worries me though because there is a date (new guy) Friday night and a concert (Steely Dan--yikes, dating myself here!) Saturday and thus will be drinking. GY savory is kind of like savory cottage cheese if you've ever had that. Or like eating sour cream chip dip only without the chips, obviously! I just put seasoned salt and pepper on it and it was quite tasty. I think If I need to do one of these again, I'll alternate sweet with savory--maybe that will help. Thanks for the advice on guys y'all. At this point I think I am just going to leave it alone. If he contacts me or we end up seeing each other again, that's fine but I am pretty done with chasing. Breaks my heart a little but that's the breaks. We'll see what bachelor #2 (Friday date) has to say for himself... Have a great day guys!

[catjrow3]

Good morning ladies,
Well, it looks like we all have our heads on straight, and so we are in a good place.

Shelby, good job on "moving on" ... its hard, but in the long run, this will be easier, and hopefully Bachelor #2 will be better anyway!! I love Fage Full Fat Yogurt... YUMMO... I can eat and eat it.... does not always net the best loss on CDs for me, but I do love it!!

Julie - I hear you on finding a happy place. My body likes 155 I think, but I do not... I was down 2.4 more this morning, so I think things will settle into the lower numbers now... (I was not truly expecting another 10 this morning, but it would have made this quicker) haha... nope! No such luck! But I will take it as it comes, my punishment for losing control of myself again...
Still have a ways to go to get back to where I was, and then more to get to goal!! UGH!! Only on day 3 of VLCD too. I have 32 more injections..LOL so 35 more days planned anyway for P2... If staying on plan, that would make P3 August 4th!! A girls gotta have a plan right???

Letitia, well I am glad yesterday was a better day for you, and today will be stunning I hope!! Lets not think about the EDs and keep on trucking!! My husband is from Europe (British) and his eating habits have rubbed off on me a bit too... so we learned to stop eating out of a box/frozen. I was a terrible cook for so many years all I could do was that kind of stuff, but I have evolved since HCG and now like cooking and have improved greatly!! He used to do all the cooking since I sucked at it!! I never let my kids have much in the way of sweets or pop, etc...because of my sugar addiction as well...

But 2 college aged girls, they eat for crap now that they are out of the house... lots of fast food!!

Okay, have a great day girls!!

[1BellaDonna]

hiya girls!!! so glad to see the gang's all here again! :-) was back down to 157 this morning and am still around there at 8:02 pm. Hopefully this means I'll at least be the same or a little lower in the morning.

Cathy- What part of England is your hubby from? I went overseas for the first time (England) when I was 15 and I got the travel bug. How's the hunger going? My first 2 days are misery for me. I just want to sleep for 48 hours until the hcg kicks in! lol

Shelbster- Woot Woot! Enjoy your date. I'd like to pretend that I never heard of Steely Dan bc I am oh-so-young, but...ahem. lol ;-) Hell, I went to see New Kids on the Block (and Backstreet Boys) in Vegas and I was probably too old to be liking them back when they WERE popular! hee hee As far as savory GY, eh... I don't know. I never have had more than a bite of cottage cheese bc of textural issues. I don't know if I'd like it savory or not. I could always try it. At least I know that I like the texture of GY! ;-)

Okay, I'm off! Trying to problem solve the surprise bday party i'm having for my husband on saturday. it's hard being sneaky when he's nosy AND he's always home (Student/stay at home dad). ugh! Hugs!!! Hasta manana!

[shelbyla]

Happy Friday everyone! Even though this was a short week, I'm glad to see the end of it. Down another 1.2 this morning to put me at 154.1 and a half pound under LDW. I don't think I'll be as lucky tomorrow since there WILL be wine tonight! I just need it to be in "glasses" as opposed to "bottles"! Looking forward to seeing this guy tonight and seeing what he is all about. I've also got another guy who wants me to call him and this player-type that I dated a few times texted me again yesterday. See? Lining up to date me, I tell ya! As far as being "old" and our musical tastes, well I'm just too "old" to justify what I like to listen to! Later this summer, it will be Def Leppard, Incubus and Metallica (not together!) I say rock on to NKOTB, Steely Dan, hell, Frank Sinatra or Barry Manilow, if we're in the mood! Unlike boys, we women do not need to just listen to "cool" music!

Letitia - good luck with the party planning. Oh and just think of the savory GY as dip. I know *I* can eat dip with a spoon...but maybe that's just me!

Cat - how ya doin', hon?

[catjrow3]

Morning ladies!

Letitia, hubby is from Manchester area. I fell in love with England too the first time I went. I also love love love to travel!!

As for hunger, not really a problem. A little bit last night, so I ate a small salad, but not too bad overall...depressingly though, no change in weight this morning. That sucked... VLCD day 4 and no loss.. UGH! 12.6 in 2 days though was not bad (although all water) HOpefully tomorrow will be better!!

I hear you both on the music front... I am sure we are all pretty close to the same age, by the comments haha... I like things on the lighter side most of the time, although my teens were the 80s and the hard rock bands and such.. and I am only a so so music person, but lately have loved a bit of usher and Katy Perry... (turbo kickboxing uses their music quite a bit!) ...

Hope you all have a great Friday and Shelby, enjoy that date!!

[1BellaDonna]

hi girlies! sorry to be m.i.a. but i had a lot to do for dh's surprise party. it ended up being a lot of fun and it's taken me until now (9:21pm) to get over my hangover and fatigue. i stayed up until after 4am talking to my hubby's bff, who is like a brother to me. he and his wife are my boys' godparents and we always have great talks. in the end, i think i paid for it bc my 4 y/o was waking me up at his normal 6-6:30am time. Uggh!!! thank goodness for espresso!!!

okay, tomorrow (monday) i start p2 again. i think i will open aother thread for us. i know i have not been good about being accountable for my eating and want to recommit to reporting my weights and my food consumption. you guys wanna join me in doing this, in addition to reporting on our daily fun stuff? oh yeah, shelby, how was the date?!?! okay, time to eat some icecream. i don't htink i'm doing a very good job of loading today bc i had so much on my mind that i didn't really prep. oh well. i need to get on this lovely p2 train no matter what. the first 2 -3 days suck for me anyhow. sending you lots of hugs!!

[shelbyla]

Hi girls! Letitia, glad you had a good party--sounds like fun. I'd be happy to join a new thread--I like a slightly smaller group too as well as the bigger weekly threads. The date itself was nice, the guy was just meh. He lied about his age--10 year OLDER than as stated. It would be that big of a deal except the LYING part. Grrr. Anyway, kissed me at the end of the night and it was like kissing my cousin. Only less creepy. There couldn't have been less chemistry. Well, back to the drawing board... Have a good Monday everyone.

[catjrow3]

Hey girls! Letitia, sure about the thread, I am in...

Shelby, cousin huh? Blah!! Hopefully the next will have more "chemistry" for then!!

Welcome back to yucky P2 Letitia!!

[1BellaDonna]

well, i messed up big time! i completely forgot to dose the last two days! so, here i am restarting with the dosing after having starved myself all day. grrrr. i'm so annoyed with myself bc i was ready to get back on the wagon. however, i must say that i probably didn't eat enough fat anyway. okay, so i'll start the new thread in a few days. :-)

cathy-how's p2 going?
shelby- um. gross. cousins? lol you're too funny! anyway, what is up with lying about your age? like you'd never figure it out? wow. the night i met my husband (at a discotecque, might i add!! lol) we looked at each other's license bc i couldn't believe he was 21 and he couldn't believe i was 34. lol then again, he was wasted and for some odd reason thought i was italian. wth??? lol

hugs to you all!!see you back on here one more day and that i'll open a new thread for us.

[Lildrew]

I had a guy lie to me about his height once....um, I can see you dude! Like you were saying Shelby it wasn't the height thing that mattered, but why lie about it. Well, and he kept oggling my boobs and I was covered up. I was expecting a Joey-esq, "How you doin'" from him any moment.

Sorry to churp in, but I couldn't help myself.

[1BellaDonna]

How you doin? Thanks a log, Lildrew! Now I keep hearing "Whoooa" over and over in my head. BTW, how the heck do you lie about your height? lol Please say it was just by about an inch and not a significant amount. lol

[catjrow3]

Good morning Letitia..... P2 is well.... P2... I was not doing well, but finally got a drop of 1.8 this morning, but still so much regained and not relost... grrr... still so mad at myself. Hopefully this week will be good and I will have some good numbers so I dont quit again!!

So are you on loading now with drops?

[shelbyla]

Letitia, they almost ALL lie about their height--and NOT by a little bit either! Guys who are 5'10 will frequently say they are 6'. Women about their weight, men about their height, apparently both about age! This is why I frequently confine my searches to 6'1+. I am 5'9 and I have a closet full of 3-5 inch heels so anyone shorter than about 6'2 looks short to me and I look extra tall to them. Even last week's guy who was 6'1 (supposedly), said "Just how tall ARE you???" when he first met me. I had on like a 1" heel. Theoretically he should have been 3 inches taller than me but, um, more like eye to eye. Oddly, contractor boy (he of the major angst) is only about 5'9. Ah, if only all men who were 5'9 had his other attributes...

So are you on loading now with drops?

Congrats on the drop Cat. Stay strong! YOU CAN DO IT!!!!

As for me, a day of clean eating a a VERY hard yoga class last night netted me a 1.8 drop today so I am back right above LDW. Looking at the rest of the week and weekend to see those low 150's again. Btw, my friend who invited me to the yoga class wants to set me up with the instructor. Who is HOT, btw. I'll add him to the queue...hehe. Later girls...
