Thanks for your kind words and ideas, my kids are too big for playgrounds (11 and 15) and I work full time. I work different hours than my hubby so we never get time together unless we are asleep.

We are not church going folk living in the Bible belt so unfortuantely we have no friends, becasue here it is all about what church you atttend. But I respect your decisions. My husband has a couple friends at work but he is actually starting a new job in a week and I work with all teenagers, ( I manage a retail store)

I am just grateful that someone responded, it makes me feel less alone ! Thanks so much ! Laughing

Weight Loss Does where you live make you fatter? Oct 04 2007

Well I live in TN right on the MS( previously mentioned as the fat state)  border and everyone eats bar -b-que here and that is probably why we all look like later in life Elvis! 

Although I have to say moving here from MI I can definitly walk outside longer  into the year here, but on the other hand I think walking through snowdrifts burns more calories than walking on the dry pavement....*sigh* I miss Michigan!  GO SPARTANS!

I LOVE coffee and drink it everyday! A lack cup of coffee is 5 cals then you have to figure how much  milk you are putting in and you can figure that and the sugar too. YOu could tag it and have it is readily available to add to your log.

 It has been said that people who drink a small to moderate amount of cofee a day loose more weight!

*yummmm* the sound heard as she sips her coffee( black one sweetner packets, 5 delicious calories)

Ok I Met my husband 18 years ago in college, we lived on the same floor of a dorm, Thatis not very exciting but it is how he  knew I was the one that is cute.

I thought he was cute and  he knew who I was but one night I walked by his  room and he was watching a Detroit Red Wings game, I asked who was winning he politely said Detroit ( later confessing he was sure I new nothing about  sport) I asked who scored he replied Gallant, I said ( and he quotes) "wow that gives him 21 for the year~he's having a great year!"

He couldn't believe it a girl that not only liked hockey but new stats, that was it, he was hooked and we have been together ever since!

If you knew what happens in restaurants and stores you would never eat again.

 JUST MY OPNION BUT>>>I think it is an unfortunate situation and yes it is gross, but to say "Oh I will never eat that again" is crazy, because you should probably boycott the whole company , which is nestle, they make everything!!

we will try to beat the heat with central air ( it has been in the high 90's for two weeks here)  We will be frequenting the YMCA pool and only going outside in early morning and late evening. Oh and enjoying those great thunderstorms we get.

Welcome to summer in the south!

Thank you everyone for the kind words, Heaven know I need them, I have been stuck at a plateau and been in a really negative place. I think it is harder to see improvements in yourself.

And as for the bathroom thanks for that too, we were building our house in the first picture and now it is done. Now that I have taken the year later pic I can get rid of the awful sweater, I hated it! (hehe) or should I keep it for a yearly ritual? hmmmmmm
