NO/LESS ALKY for FFF's APRIL

banalien · 03-31-2008, 09:14 PM

Howdy &

We're a bunch of friendly (and kinda krazy!

) people who like to try to stay away from the odd tipple or two, as we believe that it impedes our weight-loss . . . some of us have stopped, others, just for a few days a week, but whatever your goal, we're here to support, so pull up a comfy chair and join us!

banalien · 03-31-2008, 09:26 PM

Marking my spot!

banalien · 03-31-2008, 09:32 PM

That's for the old fart joke you sent me!!

Blondie Baby · 03-31-2008, 09:59 PM

Gee thanks Mitz!!! What a pal!!!!!!!

I almost slept through the change to the new month/thread but I woke up at the last minute! Still too tired to drive so Lil Miss is officially in the driver seat! But I got my brace off, I got my braces off, I got my braces off!

Blondie Baby · 03-31-2008, 10:05 PM

Pat - Did I miss it?? Hope I'm not too late!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!

banalien · 03-31-2008, 10:26 PM

So how does it feel to be a BRACELESS woman??? Need a new pic with a BIG grin!

Blondie Baby · 04-01-2008, 01:48 AM

Feels Great!!!!!!

Getting my retainer this afternoon.

Nat - tell your boys - NO PAIN AT ALL! I was kinda freaked out because it looked like a pair of pliers he was sticking in my mouth! But he just snapped them right off my teeth!

Getting our blood tests done this afternoon so getting closer to being married!!!!

conbofan9 · 04-01-2008, 05:26 AM

ok...so the wheels on the bus go round and round....week days are easypeasy for me....but its the weekend!gota make sure DH doesnt invite anyone this weekend! its the only way i can abstain! i can say NO to him, but its harder when we have people over!

have a good oneladies!! and pat, do tell. did ya have a pig roast for your bday??

skaylarson · 04-01-2008, 07:50 AM

marking my spot too. Weekdays M-W are usually easy...thursday is always a bit iffy and then all bets are off Friday and Sat. I tend to recover on Sundays

Lynndeo · 04-01-2008, 08:46 AM

Happy April Fools Day!

Rbenz · 04-01-2008, 12:24 PM

Thanx for all the BD wishes!!!! Purty flowers and cute piggies.

Blondie~Congrats on your new smile!

Whoo...getting the bld tests. So...when is it?

Nat~Easypeasy during the week....hear ya.

Denise~Kewl...on the smaller sized jeans.

Nope...did not have a pig roast last night!

But, Kim did walk the pig. Pig is on a diet and has lost almost 15 lbs.

Evil scale is up today. I ate too much JUNK yesterday.

Need to go for my walk in the Hood.

conbofan9 · 04-01-2008, 01:32 PM

is the pig on atkins or what???

ok..for some awful reason, i could use a little porto! my cramps are just horrible and that little voice on the left side is telling me a nice little porto is going to soothe and calm the pain!...WTH! where did that come from? he doesnt usually appear before friday!!!

wenig · 04-01-2008, 02:12 PM

conbofan9 Try to stay away from it. You will have worse cramps in the morning. ( dehydration) Maybe take a Pamprin and some hot tea. Trust me the urge for Port will go away once you are snuggled up in something warm. Good Luck!

Rbenz · 04-01-2008, 03:44 PM

Nat~Tell little voice to go away. Sorry you have cramps.
Yeah that...to what Wen said.

On Pig being on Atkins! Naw...Kim said she's just feeding him less and walking him more. He doesn't like either and snorts a lot.

Went for my hour walk in the Hood w/my new Tunes. it made the walk more tolerable.

Lynndeo · 04-01-2008, 04:28 PM

One Mich Ultra sitting in the fridge, calling my name. I don't need it, it's only Tuesday. No Lynn, just say no.

skaylarson · 04-01-2008, 05:46 PM

great pic Lynn...where have I been? or is that new....Alos kudo's to yours as well Wenig. I didn't get a chance to say that either..

Just waiting for a picture of Blondie's new teeth~~

Cdhand5 · 04-01-2008, 07:18 PM

Just a quickie here.....I am busy registering for summer classes,etc...Hello to all

Thanks Pat....I need a MP3 player for my w/outs

lil miss · 04-01-2008, 07:23 PM

marking my spot, still driving and damn proud of it!

conbofan9 · 04-02-2008, 04:48 AM

ok I stayed away from it!!! but i got the panetone instead!!! ARG!
pat i need nice weather to start walking too! i am getting really anxious here being on lockdown....think i will either go crazy or depressed if something doesnt change around here! i need to either find a part time job...or get the nice weather here to start walking/running...

ok sorry for the bummer rant!... and pat..

on piggy snorting cause he hate walking!

ok off to put on the Hazel suit...nothing else to do around here!!

Lynndeo · 04-02-2008, 07:51 AM

Thanks Sharon, I just put the pic up, it was from our trip last week.

The Mich Ultra was consumed, I caved, I was weak. Good news, it's all gone and I got seriously motivated by Biggest Loser last night so I'm increasing the workouts even more.

I was really craving something last night too. Decided to have some Chai tea and that did help. it's so creamy and rich, it's like dessert.

I too am amazed by Alli from Bigget Loser...man, she can't have much weight left to lose!!!!

Picture is great...wish I could get the guts to try boarding..every year I say I'm going to try, then I realize I would look silly boarding in my leather coat and jeans...just don't have the clothes for it

wenig · 04-02-2008, 08:56 AM

Meeting with a friend for an early dinner. Man, a glass of wine sounds good with it....What to do, what to do???????????/

conbofan9 · 04-02-2008, 09:23 AM

hmmmmm...want advice from my friend on the left shoulder or the one on the right???

i am finding everything difficult today! my thinking is you live once...why sweat the small things. 1 glass of wine will not make you tip the scales and undo all your hard work. its having an unwind wtih a friend...

on the other hand...if 1 glass of wine is going to turn into 2 andthen allow you to munch on the chips they serve on the table..or the bread and butter,then stay away becausethat will tip the scales... its all a matter of balance I say!

think hard before hand, and walk in there with your decision already made..that is what i would do! good luck!!

-tongue in check- I'm all about drinking and not eating

ha...I do agree that one glass isn't going to throw you off too much. You can come sit with me on the bumper again. I'm kinda lonely out here

Sharon

conbofan9 · 04-02-2008, 01:02 PM

haaaaa! sharon made a perma-bench on the BUMPER!!

cant decide whether you get IN or get OUT eh?? playing it safe there girl....I like that!!

lil miss · 04-02-2008, 05:49 PM

I have had a day and am NOT driving tonight...or probably til Monday.....

Blondie Baby · 04-03-2008, 03:35 AM

That's cool Lil Miss. I'm back in the driver's seat. Got the whip out and ready, too!

Finally got some rest, got the laundry caught up and got back into my exercise routine. Nothing throws me off and makes me feel worse than missing my workouts! And I missed 3 in a row this week! But I got in last nights and I"m back on track now.

DBF and I went this morning and did the blood test. We get the results Sunday. Then he just needs to get the salary certificate from work and we can get married!!! Things are moving along! He was *****ing and moaning about doing the blood test and generally dragging his feet and ****ing me off and I was yelling at everyone. My oldest dd went and yelled at him and told him it was HIS FAULT her Mom was so pms-ey. She told him why don't you just marry her, already. Typical guy, he started making excuses. She said BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, you're just a commitment-phobic RETARD with Cold Feet!!!!!! Of course, he denied that. She said, Oh Stop! What are you waiting for anyway? You're gonna be like 100 years old this year so just go do it already! Since then he has been pushing me to get everything done so we can get married!

Thank God for teenage daughters! I died laughing when she told me this story. Was wondering why, all of a sudden, he was in such a hurry!

conbofan9 · 04-03-2008, 04:50 AM

baaaaaa!!!! 100 years old??

DH is going to be 47 in sept and little DS says the samething! how come mom just turned 42 and you are gonna be100?? kids are just too funny!!

so, dont forget to let us know the date so we have time to prepare for your surprise shower!!

kay ladies! tonite is another no problem for me!!DH has a business supper so he wont be home until late!...tomorrow night is anther thing. he has had a week from h*ll...they layed off ( or laid off??? not sure how that onegoes??) lots of people, so he is really really gonna need a happy hour tomorrow night! not sure if i will join him or not! i've had a crappy week too, feeling sorry formyself and all that crap! hopefully i will be in a better place tomorrow so i wont want to drown my sorrows in the vodka!!!

ok later ladies!! hazel duties call!( as pat would say!!)
