Of course we have one Sheldon Cooper (duck) and one Penny (chick!!). . LOL They are the cutest things!

When I first started watching the show I didn't really enjoy it, but I'll tell you it grows on me with every episode I watch!! I really enjoy it now.

The only 3 shows I watch religiously (when they air instead of catching up on them):
Mad Men
Suits
Supernatural (haven't caught up on this one yet)

On the other hand shows I love and always watch when they are on:
Big Bang Theory
How I Met Your Mother
2 and a Half Men (not since Ashton tho)
Scrubs (think I've seen every episode)

Thanks for the welcome ... not sure if you've ever tried it but Seltzer works GREAT for me cause it's still soda, took a little getting used to but I LOVE it now. (used to drink gallons of Mt. Dew and Sprite a day)

Get into the grove. . maybe a little Material Girl. . outfit. . .We all know that isn't gonna happen soooo. . what do you suggest? we are supposed to dress 80's like. .my two youngest are going (the older ones have to work and take care of hte baby ducks. . lol!!). .My 11 year old (boy) has hair down to the middle of his back. .so the stylists will have a great time making him look like an 80's hair band rocker!!! I think it'll be so fun and I can't wait to get pix!!! I may have to break out some of my dance moves, as well.. It will be great and think of all the calories I can burn!! The only very bad, bad thing is my favorite popcorn place is right around the corner and they make Dill Pickle Pop Corn!! OMG> . if you've never had any. . buy some! it is totally addictive.. OK. .scratch that.. don't ever buy it. .

See. typing keeps me from eating. . so here I go. .hijacking your thread. . sorry!!! Just tell me to chill . . and I will. .. .

That sounds like an awesome time... I'm definitely not the one to ask for Fashion advice lol

Stay strong and away from the popcorn, even though it does sound delicious lol!

Thanks for the Welcome! I was really amazed when I just looked through the threads an saw how nice everyone was and supportive!! (usually on forums there is a lot of arguements and drama lol).

I keep Beef Jerkey with me as a snack.. not perfect but definitely does the trick.

I try to actively think about "sucking in" my gut as often as possible. Don't know if it really helps but in my mind it makes me conscience of the weight I need to lose, and I hope it works the muscles a little lol

I force myself to drink a TON of water ... even when not thirsty... plus you get the extra benefit of walking to the bathroom a thousand times lol

So, for the past 5 weeks I've used Yam's method and have been weighing everyday and charting it. This has been the answer! I love looking at my progress, even though it is painfully slow. It took me 5 weeks to lose 12.5 pounds! But putting it on paper gives me the visual I need to see that I am losing!

I know we all want it faster, MIm. .Me Too!! but seriously. . 12.5 pounds in 5 weeks is fantastical. . You deserve a gold star for sticking with it that long. .I seriously hope I can do the same. . You give me inspiration . .so thank you for that!

Nope. .it just completely died for no reason. . I switched charges . . tapped it ever so gently. . pressed all the butttons madly. nothing will make it come on. . so DH is out getting me a new one as we speak. .

(which, if truth be told. . I'm sneaking on LCF at work . which is a big no no so I must get off soon but I was too darn anxious to see what everyone was up too. . .). . you guys!

did I ever mention that I'm a little obsessive ?

GReat idea. . "the sucking in of the gut". .I am so gonna steal this. I knew you guys would have some great ideas. . So we shall all be sucking in, walking further, drinking more, looking like fools at stop signs, camping out int he bathroom and hiding meat products in our purses and carry-ons. . .

Go us!!

[IM2fat]

Isopure has worked fine with Stillman's, I like the Green Tea one =).. it's weird though because even though its a liquid you feel like your mouth is more dry after you drink it lol

[Getting there!!!]

Hi to all the newbies!! It's great when new people come in all fired up, it really brings new energy in!

it's incredible the amount that comes off a burger!!! Eeek!! The only tip I have is to cook everything slightly less than you think. Plug it out and let the meant continue to cook, then open the lid and keave the piece there.

[Getting there!!!]

Oh Im2--you'll be proud--I'm taking a multi vit every day!! Dr told me I should (even though my blood work was good!) it's a big Smurf-blue tablet!! Why do they make them so appealing for children???

[Getting there!!!]

Waiting on my Brazilian Butt Lift to come. They said it should be here on Monday!!! I need to do something about my butt!! I've got my eye on a very expensive Marc Jacobs bikini. If I get it it will be my first one in years!!! But I think I might treat myself!!

[Getting there!!!]

Ok nite nite!! I've to teach at 8!!!
