YOUR AMAZING MEGAN!!!!

Morning Ladies:

Lisa good luck with the job .... it does sound promising .... glad abby is better ... and Elizabeth sounds too cute

Jill congrats on your lab work ....

Congrats on everyone who loss this week ... keep up the awesome job

I am still sick .... it has moved into my chest and i have no voice .... I am the biggest baby when sick ....

Thanks Kathy ..... you arent to shabby yourself

WOW MEGAN! You are doing fantastic!

Kathy - switching up the 30 Day shred keeps it from being boring. I am thinking of mixing in other DVDs I have now too. I really like Kelli Roberts.. she has fantastic kickboxing videos (kickboxing boot camp being one of them). So, I may add that back in also.

Agreed. I like to swtich up too. Jillian Michaels Metabolism Boost is an awesome cardio workout, I do that when I'm feeling like I need to burn a lot

thanks stephanie ..... I am missing working out .......i havent worked out since sunday .........but i am afraid to over do it ....so here i lay on my couch

I'm sorry Megan!

Kathy - I added it to my amazon shopping cart to get later. It looks good. I am probably going to get some of her other DVDs too. She does create pretty amazing workouts.

My BFF never watched the Biggest Loser and this year she is doing 30 day shred and watching the TV show and says she's quite motivated :) After walkign her half marathon she wasn't motivated cause she had been training for months for the 1/2 marathon and when it was over she was done. I'm so happy she found a new motivation, she does WW and is making good life choices not just diet choices, so it's coming off slow but she's doing great!
I've also done some of Bob's Biggest Loser workouts (I LOVE OnDemand TV) and they are great too :) Elle McPherson has one out (it's old, like me) that's good and it's always fun to watch a super model struggle :)

Good for her! I will lok into Bob's DVDs also.

Kathy - please keep my starting weight and just update with today's weight as my current loss. I just couldn't remember my loss to date since I've been all over the place.

I am heading into a meeting, but I heard from Kim. She said it either lympangiona or lymphoma. They are doing an ultrasound today and surgery on Tuesday. My cell phone battery died, so that was all I was able to pull from the message. Let's all keep Kim and her family in our prayers. Hopefully they will find that it's benign.

Good job everyone with your weightloss today! Proud of everyone!

Thanks for the update on Kim; They are all in my prayers

First of all, Great job on the weight loss everyone!!!!

I'm sorry I"ve been away. I have a new boyfriend and I have been spending alot of time with him and my neighbor Sue. I read back a few pages to get caught up a bit. I really feel the love, to have been asked where I was.

Megan, sorry you are sick, I hope you feel better. Good job with the weight loss.

Lisa, Sorry to hear about Abby. The story about Elizabeth was cute. I loved the "I had my arms around him, but he got away" bit.. that was great.

Kathy, sorry to hear about Laci. I hope she is doing better.

Katie, sorry you didn't like the Wii games you bought.

Steph, I think you should get flowers for Justin's mom. I think it shows you care and it's sweet. Everyone loves flowers, unless they are allergic

Kim, I hope your headaches gets better and good luck with the surgery.

If I missed anyone I'm sorry. I"m trying to remember like 3 pages here. I haven't been logging my food and I don't remember all that I ate, I did have like 5 or 6 wine coolers the other day...So I'm sure that didn't help anything. I didn't eat much yesterday, but I have a feeling I went over anyway.

Silver - Good to hear from you. So who is this new boyfriend?

Lisa - Thanks for the update on Kim! I will send positive thoughts their way.

Welcome back Silver! You have been missed!

Do we have anyone else weighing in today????? Just bumping for more weigh-in's

I wonder how Jessica is doing. Haven't heard from her in a while.

First off. Steph love the picture!

My new boyfriends name is Will. I met him over OKcupid.com over the summer. He was in Iraq and he got home almost 2 months ago. We were both seeing other people until last week. The first night he got home he asked to visit me and I told him he could. He asked me to be his girlfriend sunday. We've spent time together every day since. He'll be back over later on tonight. He's staying with his parents right now who live about 3 or 4 miles away from me.

OMG, one of the guys at work just brought me a HUGE homemade turtle...milk chocolate, caramel, pecans....it was slightly larger than the round paper it came it. THe paper looked like a flattened Reece's wrapper....The caramel was somewhere between a quarter & half inch thick! I cut it half and told my boss he had to eat half. Don't even know where to start on the calories..any ideas?
PS. It was soooooo good but probably not worth it....How do you say no when people bring you food? Just you specifically, not the whole office, just me???

Thanks Silver! It's of my new haircut. hehe. Okcupid.com is where I met Justin.. I deleted my account after him and I broke up.. as I don't plan to meet another man anytime soon (I may rejoin when I get through graduate school unless it works out between Justin and I ). But good for you, I hope you enjoy yourself with Will.

Kathy - Oh no! I think that would have been eaten by me too. When I am given something by a friend I just feel obligated. Ugh. And really, how do you say no, especially when it was just brought for you.

I keep telling myself, at least I cut it in half!
Any ideas on cals?

PS I like your hair

Thanks Kathy! Just added layers, shortened it a couple inches, and added a side-swept bang.

As for the calories, I have no clue. This is what came up when I searched chocolate turtle: http://www.thedailyplate.com/nutrition-calories/food/generic/chocolate-turtle
I am not sure the size of the serving though.

I don't know if I would have taken the turtle, I can't eat really sweet things and that sounds like it was super sweet!

Steph, I do like your hair, the color suits you.

Thanks. That color is all natural.

Oh, I found this article this afternoon with healthified recipes for Thanksgiving. Thought I would share:

Good morning everyone. I hope everyone has a nice start to their Thursday.

Good morning everyone! I had a good night last night, hung out with my neighbor and Will, played cards, then Will and I came back to my place and watched Blood and Chocolate. It took us 3 tries to get through the whole thing. It wasn't too bad. I like movies about wolves and vampires. Though there's no vampires in Blood and Chocolate.

I am glad you had a good night Silver!

Tomorrow I am heading to Connecticut for the weekend to visit a friend from college I haven't seen since May. We've talked a couple times since then, but it will be nice to see her. I miss her a ton. (She is incredibly busy with her job). So, I am excited to see her! She is a vegetarian, so the weekend will probably be full of vegetables. Yum. So if I am unable to log everything over the weekend, I am not too worried.

I am going to go for a walk with my Aunt today (since she has the day off) and may do a work out video also. It is about the TOM so I am pretty crampy / lazy feeling today.. but I am going to try to be productive and clean up my work area / pack. I hope you all are doing alright!
