muppet- I'm not saying this because you asked for it, but you don't need biggest loser. It's plainly obvious that you are ready for this change and are making it. It would make no sense to stop now for some awful tv show. I think the people in your office want to be polite to you and encourage what they think is your plan to get on tv, NOT because you are fat! Plus, like boots said, why would you wanna go through public misery when you could do it yourself? dalma-those are def. F* me shoes (as tina would call them)! ally-you are a total goddess for passing up that chik-fil-a mess when you could SMELL it even! You go girl! Everyone else in your office can go get fat! msn-that is totally cool news about your mom, and a beautiful dress! |

dalma-you would look fabulous in that dress in red or white. I started to have a thing for red lately so I would go for red. I think the more weight I lose, the more colors I add to my wardrobe! Like Shapie, I would look awful in white! Your plans sound really fun! muppet-I agree with the pencil skirt. I have a black one that I pair with everything to dress it up! 208.6 this morning ladies!! I am finally going down and inching closer to one-derland!! |

shapie-I think I looked it up a while ago (midnight sun) and I scrolled through it. I think that I thought it was a full book because it was so long. I guess if you told me, I missed it! Oh, and, VA sucks balls! I HATE it here. Sorry! I hope everything works out for you and Jason. Awesome news on the good hair day! I totally feel like I always have good hair days now because of this new hair cut. The "new" feeling still hasn't worn off :) ana-congrats on the dress! akela-greek salad sounds amazing! kath-glad school is over, hope things settle down for you! dalma-what are you doing for nye? I have no idea what to do, but I wanna do something this year. tina-good for you girl, he doesn't deserve a second thought! muppet-I'm not supposed to "fraternize" with the people I work with cause I am their supervisor |

msn-congrats!!! Tina-I too was cheated on after wasting 4 years of my life. I learned a lot from that **** relationship and thank my lucky stars that we never actually got hitched! akela-happy anniversary. muppet-I'm jealous that you have a friend. Where did you find her? Blast! Midnight sun is a rip off! It is only like half done! I feel so unsatisfied! Me: My name is Sherri and I am 30. I started on CC on December 28, 2008 at a nice round 260. I now weigh in at 210.8. I love chocolate and cheese. If it has either one of those ingredients-I will eat it. I am an emotional eater and in times of ANY emotion, I turn to food. I would like to think that I am turning that around. I have learned a lot in the last year about myself and I feel that the more I learn about myself and being healthy, the more healthy I actually am. I love you girls. You are my rock. |

ally-never say the snow-word! It is now snowing in VA and this is only like the 3rd time in 2 years! :( I hate snow, it is the only bonus for leaving NY. akasha-OMG you are sooo close to one-derland!! Go girl!! Shapie-your next to one-derland! Then me I hope ;) Sorry you missed your movie plans, bummer. putting up the xmas tree today ladies. Seems like a good day, since it's snowing and all :) |

Muppet-I'm proud of you. I know that might seem weird right now but I can totally relate to what you are going through and I think it is a necessary step. I was in the same boat like 8 months ago. I would never tell a soul what I weighed. That would be like admitting defeat. Admitting that I am a fat monster in cold hard numbers. Mounir and I had the SAME conversation that ended the exact same way. I weigh 209 right now and that is after losing 51 pounds. Mounir weighs 190. I get it girl, I was there. This is the best part though. After I got through that initial shock, I let go of that stupid number. That 260 pounds held no power over me anymore. Now I can actually look at how much I weigh with indifference. That may sound like I am lying, but I'm not. I want the scale to go down because I want to lose weight, not because I care what the actual number is. It was EXTREMELY freeing, and I hope that since you had this conversation, the same thing will happen to you. You will get over it and be that much better off in the end. Nothing has changed except the elephant in the room has been exposed and shall never be held over your head again. Take comfort. Shapie-you are looking good girl! I went to see New Moon yesterday FINALLY. I had the popcorn and it totally tasted like it was in a garbage bag (we went to a matinee)!! I felt horrible the whole rest of the day and ended up skipping dinner cause I just felt dirty and gross from eating that popcorn. Let's hope I remember that next time I go to the movies. Chances are that I will forget until after I have eaten an entire bag *sigh* Msn-Love the eye candy! mladdy-welcome back, don't stay gone so long! We miss you! YES ladies, you read it, the scale ACTUALLY went down for the first time since september!!! I will be reading Midnight Sun as my long awaited reward! :) |

shapie-I NEED this sunrise light thingy! I have the worst time trying to get up in the morning. I have to do it in stages so I think this light would totally work for me! As for Mounir, hell, he is always out of bed hours before I even think about getting out of bed so he would prob never even know I had it! dalma-on my list right now for stuff around $20: A new belt, a book that I've been sweatin, movies at blockbuster 4 for $20, and a funky necklace. Msn-wait, so does this mean that your man is about to go out and buy an engagement ring??? weddings and babies are scary! But I love lookin at the dresses :)

Dalma-thanks! Muppet-I'm in the same boat as you. I am not a morning person but I work 9 hours a shift and spend 2 hours commuting. It is 7pm by the time I get home and I barely have enough waking hours to get cooking and eating dinner in before it's time for bed. I don't go to the gym. A.) I don't have the money for a membership and B.) I still have an aversion to working out in public. Or at least in front of really athletic people. I save working out for my days off and the days I go in to work late. If I don't go in to work late, I do some stuff at home after I eat dinner that doesn't bother my full stomach. I do push ups, crunches etc. Anything is better than nothing I guess. Could something like this help you? Ladies-Mounir brought home a digital scale yesterday! He found it on sale at JC Penny for like 17 bucks! I am so happy because I have been using one of those crappy ones that are hard to read. Now I get decimals! YES! The sucky part is that I can't err on the favorable side anymore :) Now it straight up tells me with little room for interpretation! |

ana-Thanks, and yeah I got highlights and low lights. People don't even recognize me! I totally got a makeover :) fay-I'm with you on the bathing suit anxiety, but I got over it. You can too! Just go for it! muppet-congrats on your eating-out-will-power! akela-I actually had the choice to go out to eat one night and preferred to stay in! Can you believe that?? I still can't! Yay! dalma-great outfit! thanksgiving-luckily for me, I'm cooking. Well, kind of. I'm not going anywhere because my family lives in NY so Mounir and I are making our own dinner. I suck at cooking so I am sure it won't be as scrumptious as what you all are in for!! Shoot! I forgot that I AM making cupcakes! Oh my! Happy thanksgiving everyone! |

I know this is perfect timing to get back in the saddle, right before the holidays! Oh well, there is always some excuse for life to get in the way isn't there? The good news is that I am back on the wagon. I don't want to speak too soon because it has only been two days, but so far so good. I haven't gained anything on my hiatus (if I spelled that right) but I'm ready to move the needle downward again. Here's to a second wind. |

dalma-No Way! Is vodka and diet coke, really calorie free?? boots-nice place akela-I'm jealous, I wanna see new moon too :) akasha-WOW, no way I could skip the popcorn at the movies because of the smell alone. That's why I skip the movies instead! goal pants-I have this pair of capris pants that a friend gave me. I took them to be polite but I knew there was no way I was gonna fit into them. For some reason, I never got around to donating them and they have become my "goal pants" :) |

I'm back from my vacation. I actually went and got my hair done and my eyebrows fixed finally! I posted pics but they are right before I went to bed so my hair wasn't actually done up, it was flat, and I look like crap but you guys get the idea! I ate like a fiend the whole time but came back to see that the scale hadn't budged a pound! The first time I was HAPPY to see the scale NOT move! I really have to get on the ball here. The weight just isn't going to get up and walk out on it's own! Akela-wow, what a scare with david! You know what they say, terrible twos! At that age he wants to test his boundaries. Good luck! Great job on the walking! Hope you avoided the kitchen! Dalma-wow, great dress! Loved your hair too! It looked great with that mask and strapless dress! Who was that extremely hot guy in all the pics with the cross on a chain? Yummy! Watchme-glad to hear that you are feeling better! It always feels better to be on track. Way to go clawing your way back! Can't hold you down! Hi to everyone else! Hope everyone who was feeling bad is feeling better. Congrats to all those getting in their exercise! There were a lot of posts :) |

dalma-way to go on the workouts!! Your suggestion for arby's scared the crap out of me! Just thinking about sitting in front of a mirror with a greasy sandwich in my hand makes me think twice about ever eating a greasy sandwich again! Way to go on the cooking! ana-what kind of cereal do you use? This idea is slowly growing on me. I truly LOVE cereal and of course I LOVE cheese......but together? Wow. amocatte-I'd suggest doing something you like. Remember, any exercise is good exercise. I started out walking and just tried to walk longer and faster. Good luck :) |

I hate it when I am starving and I convince myself to go to arby's because it's the only thing fast enough to make me feel better. While on my way to arby's (cheater) I hate that I think that one meal won't do. I'm just too hungry! I try to convince myself that not only do I need 1,000 cals in one meal but I need desert or an extra large fry instead of a regular one to satisfy me. Once the cheat train get's rollin, it takes a lot to reign it in! On the upside, I made an appointment today to get a makeover. I'm gonna cut my hair short, get it straightened and get my eyebrows done. I hope the brows have grown out long enough to get them done. I'm nervous about getting my hair done but excited at the same time :) |

ana-how exactly does cottage cheese with cereal work? That sounds awful and wonderful at the same time. Details? akela-congrats on your pound! I am so jealous! I'm hoping to see something tomorrow! Have a great time on your honeymoon! watchme-I have never met a frozen meal that I actually liked. I like my food really simple and I find that frozen meals put a whole mess of stuff in a dish that I don't like. If I had the money I would do the delivery. If the food is fresh and good that would be awesome! Let us know how it works out. ladies-I finally got in some exercise this week so I am hoping to FINALLY see some movement downward! Cross your fingers! Only have 3 more days till I can leave for home! Can't wait to get some much needed time off! |

I need to get back on track, but saying it isn't actually doing it. I'm a procrastinator and I am sitting here trying to figure out why I just can't seem to get back on track. Geez, is it really rocket science? Just DO IT ALREADY! Can someone just scream that at me please? Good intentions are fat! Akasha-great pics! Dalma-I eat oatmeal and tea with splenda for breakfast. It seems to keep me full for a while but I have never met a food that keeps me full for more than a few hours. Especially in the morning it seems like I am ravenous all morning no matter what I eat! I do the same thing when I am bored I think about what I'm gonna eat next and then I just want to eat it so badly RIGHT THEN! It makes me so hungry. Is this what drug addicts feel like except they never get to eat? shapie-welcome back! Great job at the gym! ana-I love salsa! the problem is I love cheese too! :( mladdy-I can't wait for you to see that like instant 4lb drop! Fingers crossed! fallon-hope everything works out ok |

Akela-glad you are back! Now I just need to get back too. I need to step it up a notch and start the scale going down again. Dalma-congrats on the jacket! I have always worn a ton of rings, one for each finger. I think that I am obsessed with rings because I thought they made my manly hands look more dainty! I am allergic to most jewelry though so I have never worn much. I am starting to get interested in it though but I am too cheap to buy something I can wear (even sterling silver necklaces bother me!) Akasha-My costume was so lame this year. I threw one together last minute cause I worked the previous 8 days in a row and hadn't had time to put one together! I was a witch and was totally NOT sexy!
