Thanks hun!!!!!

[Missalissa]

Morning peeps! Been crazy around here. Our county stock show is this week. Eating not been the best, so it's to be expected that the scale isn't moving. Maybe that will set me up for another big loss next week!

Keep it simple everyone!

[FreeingMyself]

Thanks chic! I hope I figure it out soon...

Mikki- Awesome job girl!! KUTGW!!

[MountainGirl]

[MountainGirl]

Jennpleeze: WELCOME!!!! Yup, this is the right place. One of the more knowledgable peeps will address your question (I'm new myself), but I wanted to say HOWDY and welcome aboard!

Thank you Phil, Chic, Lucki, Berlin and everyone, your comments are so encouraging! Thank you!

Marsha: Are you awake yet?? You have such an interesting job!! I'm not a morning person either, none of us are here. We are on "second shift" around here, even the kids. We go to sleep about 1 AM and get up between 11-12 noon. I am the "early riser" of the family, but I still sleep 'til 9 or 10 AM. That's the fun of homeschooling, we can make our own schedule!

Metga: Oh my!! Could it have been the cabbage and not the combo?? I think if I had cabbage soup for breakfast it would make me all rumbly in my tumbly and not in a good way!! I pray you get to feeling better soon!!

Hey SueMC, WOW is that YOU on the motorcycle? Is that what the "MC" is in your nick? Welcome!! I hope you post and let us get to know you!


Hi Brownie, welcome!! I'm glad you found us!! We have some people here that know lots more than I and I know when they get here they will answer your questions!

FreeingMyself: Oh, I know how you feel!! Could be TOM, or water weight or your body just not having the Combo, not sure, but I do know that if you hand in there and keep doing what you do, it WILL come off. I hope you can get the refill of the Combo, and see if that makes the difference!

MIKKI: 43 pounds!!!!??/ Whooooo Hooooo Girl!! Hey, send the Whoosh Fairy over to my house will ya??? Great job Mikki!!

Missalissa: Just hang in there and get back on the good eatin' wagon!

Hi PHIL and Trisha and Lisa and all my Buddies here!!

[lildragonfly]

I can see a difference MG!! You looking great!
My job is interesting , yep that is a good term. Ive worked on computers with everything from a cop looking at porn and having to go to court and testify about it to a husband cheating on spouse and wanting to clear machine before she reads all his emails. Then I go out on jobs and set up whole networks for people to use in their businesses.

I have lost my motivation today and trying to find it. I get bent out of shape on such weight losses by people in such a shorter amount of time, makes me wonder if im doing something wrong or whatnot.

Hope everyone else having a great day and Ill check back in later!!

[Justachic]

Marsha..I missed what you do for a living.....when you say a cop looking at porn...do mean like child porn?

Sorry...your post was a bit vague to me.

[lildragonfly]

I build and work on computers for a living. I also run cabling and work on networks for businesses. No he was on the job and was using work computer to look at porn.

[Justachic]

Gotcha! Thanks for the clarification...

MARSHA!!!
My sister from another mother! May I give you a big ol' fluffy hug???


Darlin' you are doing great! Look at your stats.

Starting Weight: 221
Weight Now:185
Goal:169
Down 34 lbs total since September

WOWEEE~!

I started in July, 2 months EARLIER than you and have lost about the same (38-39 pounds). You are losing it faster than ME!!! Now that should make you feel better, eh?

OK, now you've made ME depressed! (j/k)

C'mon, let's just quit comparing ourselves to others and just let our bodies do its thing. We all don't lose at the same rate, but we all are doing great, especially you Marsha. ::::

[lisabinil]

Mountain Girl take a look at your midsection-it's definitely smaller!

[MountainGirl]

Lisa:
Thanks but, I think I was sucking in my tummy!

Seriously, don't I look like a LOLLIPOP (skinny legs and round upper body)? Oh well, at least I'm not gaining!

[Justachic]

Actually MG...I was thinking that your legs are actually shapely! No sticks at all. I see some calves going on......
Do you mean skinny as in your legs don't carry any fat?

[lildragonfly]

Thank you MG!!! Just needed to pick up and dust myself off, thanks for encouraging me. And btw I think you got very nice legs, get you some stilletos and away you go!!

[FreeingMyself]

Mystery solved!!!

I just got back from my run (3.75 miles without stopping) and TOM is here REALLY early!! He came the 30th of last month
Well, at least I feel better about the 2.5lb that came out of nowhere!! Thanks guys for all of the support

[MountainGirl]

Hey Chic and Marsha,

Yeah, I mean skinny as in not proportioned for my large upper body. My legs are thin and yeah a little muscular, but they are straight (like lollipop sticks) in comparison to my large, round, heavy upper body. My pics look SO funny to me! Chicken legs and a whole turkey top!

Marsha honey, I hear ya. Hugs for you. You really are doing great!

Freeing: I'm glad the mystery is solved!

Well, I made some Flax Pizza Crusts today, this time without the eggs. I did an experiment for a friend of mine who is a celiac (allergic to gluten) and allergic to eggs. It worked out SO nicely, I know that when I run out of eggs, I can still make pizza crusts and mini-crusts for wraps. I like these MUCH betther than the Oooops rolls, those are too eggy and airy. The Flax crusts are hearty and hold up to pizza. And no eggy taste!

BTW, I use organic GOLDEN flax and it has a milder taste than the brown flax.

[lildragonfly]

I was wondering the difference in the two flax meals. I have both but only used the dark one. I may give the golden one a shot.

[Justachic]

Free....I knew it!!! TOM can be such a pain, literally.

[iabowhunter]

Hello!

HEY! NEW FACES! That rocks!!! Welcome newbies! Post often and watch out for Chic

BerlinBear...Thanks for the info. We have a fresh covering of snow on the ground and I have no "spots" under the van when I move it. I'm pretty sure it the master cylinder. I hope it is anyway.

My place is employment is having a biggest loser contest starting 02-01-08. 1st prize is 200 bucks cash. I'm was thinking about letting my WOE go untill the first of Feb. and then turning on the afterburners. The more I thought about that, the more I wonder why in the world would I gain extra weight just so I can lose it again for some stupid contest? yaknowhatImeen? It would problably take me 3 weeks to lose the weight I gained in 2. So I think I'll stay right where I am.

New master cylinder going on tomorrow! Hope it fixes my problem.

MountainGirl...Your pics look great. KUTGW!

Mikki....LOSER! Congrats to you.

Hope everyone is doing awesome!

Take care,
Phil

[Justachic]

Gee, thanks Phil.....Yer one swell guy.

[mikkimouse]

MG- No lollipop.....i thing you look great

Thanks phil............


Ok imma outta here for now.

I will check back a bit later...... to all....

[mikkimouse]

Freeing,

I know how you feel about TOM being early, heck mine did that this month too. Wierd..ummmm i dunno? i havent been doing anything really different since i started this diet...

[lildragonfly]

Thanks Mikki!

[FreeingMyself]

Maybe TOM is more attracted to us since we are getting skinnier??

That's be those narrow minded men for ya
(Disclaimer- I did not say ALL men, as I know all men are not like that)

[tom_912]

Why all the talk about me???
