Hi Tammy! Sounds like you had a full weekend even though you didn't have an agenda! It always seems to work that way with us too. Something always comes up. We had to make a trip down for district fastpitch on Saturday. It was about an hour away. I got lots of walking in since we were there all day. I figured it was at least 2 miles. Friday evening my sisters and I went out to see an AC/DC cover band. All female!!! Their name is "Hells Belles" and let me tell you, they ROCKED! I was the designated driver so I really enjoyed the show. My sisters did too but they were a little tipsy and having a little too much fun! I enjoyed watching them dancing and flirting. It was quite funny being sober! And I noticed a few of the older guys checking me out! I felt so good about myself! It was great!!! Of course I didn't really make them aware that I knew they were looking at me. I avoided eye contact because the old fat girl in me came out. I am just not ready to look men in the eye for fear of rejection I guess. I am happily married so it's probably a good thing! Don't want to give them the wrong idea! So yeah, I have some other news I am gonna post seperately. I am very excited about it! I bet you can guess.... Have a great Monday and CONGRATS on staying below 190!!!! Whoo Hoo! Love ya girl, Lori

Lori, Good for you that you had the courage & more importantly the Self Confidence to approach him.... That's wonderful. Sorry to hear he's already seeing someone. You never know, though, maybe deep down he's got feelings for you that he was unaware of until you brought it up. You may have opened a new door. At any rate, you have a wonderful friend. That was so sweet of him to call you on Wednesday to see how you were doing. Great friendships are hard to find. I know you would rather it turned out the other way, but like Lori said.... you may have opened the door to the new you. Don't give up, there's an awesome man out there for you. When you least expect it, he'll be standing in front of you. Great job on your weight loss... You'll be under 200 before you know it.... Funny with the batwings.... I joke about mine all the time... Maybe some day I'll have the courage to get rid of them... Just seems so darn painful. Who knows Take care Tammy

Sheree.... WOOOO HOOOOO .................... I'm so stinkin excited for you. Recently, we went to six flags & just wait until you get in that seat & feel the anxiety (of the bar not closing all the way) for just a second....then realizing YOU NO LONGER HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THAT What a great feeling.... OH, AND WHAT AN AWESOME BIRTHDAY FOR YOUR SON.... Hope you have a wonderful day... Can't wait to hear how it goes. Tammy

Hey Donna, So nice to see you.... Glad to hear you're doing ok. Size 16 dress GOOD FOR YOU. Of course I can't remember what my goal for May was, but I think it was to get under 190... I've been holding steady between 187 & 189 so I think I'm there. I know I wanted to exercise more, but man oh man.....LIFE really got in the way this month. I'm looking into my goals for June now... I'm gonna put out a new June exercise challenge as it seems the post is dwindling. Hopefully, everyone will get motivated again. As you know, discipline & consistency is key & we've all been slipping somewhat. I'll post a new message on that. I have felt the urge to eat more often, but I've been stopping myself & asking if I'm really hungry. Usually, I grab a drink instead & that keeps me on track. It does seem when I do walk at least 3 miles in the morning I am more hungry throughout the day. I just got some more cheese to munch on. Gotta get some more protein drinks. I told them at the OH conference that they need to come out with a cook book. I think they're looking into that for next year. Well, gotta post the exercise post for the weekend & today.... Sooooo glad to see you back.... Hey even if you don't exercise...PLEASE post. Love to hear from you. Tammy 291/284/189/145

I try to go to bed early to avoid the night time snacking. Or worse, I've taken to skipping dinner, because I'm tired and not hungry. I find, if I'm really tired, and just can't bring myself to eat, I'll do a profect protien. Torrey (281/194/160)
