Starting 10 day challenge .. Anyone want to join me?

**LeJune** · December 4th, 2009, 04:12 PM

Suite-Hey!!! Glad you are back. We knew you wouldn't slack.

BrandNew - Throwback Friday--have fun! As far as those people, people will have something to say regardless.

I have breaking news--IT IS SNOWING IN HOUSTON. It has been since this morning. It is supposed to be clear skies tonight. Once it hits the ground it is a sloshy-wet mess but what would you expect here. On some houses and yard it has built up and looks like a picture. Our office party is still on for tonight. J--my girlfriend, is sniffling already and so I am not sure if she is going.

Talk to you later!

**Brand New Me** · December 4th, 2009, 05:40 PM

I saw the snow on TV. My hubby's cousin and my uncle live in Houston. Amazing, I am here near Philadelphia and we are only suppossed to get flurries! It was an amazing 60's yesterday.

**LeJune** · December 4th, 2009, 06:57 PM

The building I am in is about 80% empty--everyone left to go home earlier today. Lots of flights cancelled. One of my guys is travelling and it has been delayed.

I am enjoying it. The problem here in Houston--people do not know how to drive when its wet or when there is ice on the road.

It made me and J miss Lake Tahoe when we talked earlier. We went there for her birthday last year. I sure hope she feels better so she can come to the party tonight but again I don't want her risking it. She lives about 45-60 minutes from me. She has been having problems with her eye but is okay in the daytime at night--that's another issue. I think I will just ask her to sit this one out.

What do you all think?

**waiting2xhale** · December 7th, 2009, 06:23 PM

Hi guys

I must say that since I have started the antidepressant and phen that I have been feeling a little better. I don't feel as irritable and I am able to sleep and focus a little more. Some of the negative thoughts are getting better and I also lost about four pounds. Once again, I am at 192. For some reason, I continue to get stalled at this number. I'm not sure why I'm mentally stalling myself at this number. I hope that every one is keeping the scale moving downward. Will check in later!

**valsdetermined2lose** · December 7th, 2009, 11:37 PM

Hi ladies ,

Hope everyone is doing good.
Waiting2xhale- I know what your going through, the stall is the worst but being on Phen our bodies seem to adjust. Have you tried switching the time of the day your taking it? I was taking Phen early morning before breakfast but soon my body resisted and i stalled for over a month , i changed the time of day i take it now and the scale is moving downward once again. Im so happy i changed the time of the day because i was getting a little discouraged with my weight loss.

Brand New- Congrats on your weight loss , your working it girl!

**LeJune** · December 8th, 2009, 02:20 PM

Waiting—Hey girl, you are so close to goal and more importantly you are in onederland. Glad you are not feeling as irritable.

Hey everyone. I went to doctor and she gave me one more prescription. My BP was a little elevated. I had not taken my BP meds because I hadn’t ate yet. She was very happy said I had done very well. So I guess I have to go back next month. Hopefully, everything will be in check and I will be down another 20 pounds. HOPEFULLY. How is everyone??? I travel to New Orleans and Alabama this weekend.

Did I mention hubby is home today too. I probably won’t be able to long on much.

**SuburbanMom** · December 8th, 2009, 10:15 PM

Hey, y'all!!!!! OMG! I feel like a stranger who has snuck into a secret sorority meeting!!! I've been skimming, reading, applauding, cheering, and empathizing everyone as I've been TRYING to catch up!!! I've missed a lot in the last month!!!! Gee! For all the engagements (VAL!!!!!!) pounds and inches lost, new size 18s, 16s, 14s, and 12s.... the new jobs, new starts, new sisters in our circle... Congrats, Yay, Way to Go, Awesome, hugs, and woo hoos!!!!!!!

I want you ALL to know that I've thought about you often while I've been "away." I caught up with Suite away from the forum so she knows a little about what's been going on. I had the most eventful move I've EVER had in my life!!! (NOT a good thing) From cable to utilities to our condo not being ready when promised to movers to ugh...EVERYTHING!!! Then work has been a nightmare! My job has been (literally) threatened for the last week and I've been totally freaked out and stressed out! I've been physically ill, emotionally a freakin' wreck, just not good. FI and I have been at each others' throats and it's due to our individual stressors as well as the move. Just NOT in a good place. I've been drinking all the wrong things EVERY day, eating crap, noshing, gorging, crying every day. Just bad!!! Whew!

Okay... It's out. Now... I'm back. I think I'm at 201 so I will have to update my stats to reflect my 7 pound gain. I wonder what my doctor will say.

I'm afraid.

Anyway... Be patient with me. I'm waiting for the wagon of sisters to come back and pick me up, please! LOL!

**SuburbanMom** · December 9th, 2009, 09:41 AM

Good morning, y'all! Gotta get my day start before the whips come out but... I just wanted to correct my stats! I'm still in onederland. 198.6!

Have a fantastic day!

**Honeybaby** · December 9th, 2009, 09:57 AM

Hi Suburbuan Mom! Your situations makes me want to go and eat an entire cake with how stressed out you are! Kudos to you that you are only at 198! That's awesome. You are doing a great job considering the circumstances!!! I look forward to going through our weightloss journey together.

**SuburbanMom** · December 9th, 2009, 02:54 PM

Hi, honeybaby! You are too sweet! Thank you for the empathy and support! You're awesome! I know you'll meet your goals as well!

**LeJune** · December 9th, 2009, 03:02 PM

Suburban—here is one of your sisters with a WAGON and a WHIP. Hop on board girl!!!! Glad you are still in Onederland.

Honeybaby – Welcome, Welcome, Welcome

Good news everyone—I am finally at 229! Yep, at this point—I will happy to drop 9 pounds before the end of the year and then on to other goals by April and June. So roughly 55 pounds between now and then. I need to work my butt.

I so look forward to this board. I am not sure what I am going to do this weekend without you all. Can I check in on a blackberry?

How is everyone—check-in!

**SuburbanMom** · December 9th, 2009, 09:09 PM

LeJune - Yay!!!!! Congrats, girl!!!! That is awesome!!!! You can TOTALLY lose what you're trying to lose and quicker than you think you can too! All you have to do it do it!!!! I'm so happy for you!

Thanks for the ride, chica! I was wondering if y'all were just gonna leave me stranded! LOL!

I would love to go to the gym tonight but FI is in class until 10 so it's just me and Little Man. And he's asleep. So... No gym for me tonight. Oh well. There's tomorrow.

Where is everyone???

**SuiteLady** · December 11th, 2009, 11:37 AM

Good Morning, Strangers! Here I am sneaking in - but I am here!!

I have missed you..but I have been going through my own crap. I suffer with depression and have lil episodes where I pretty much go into seclusion. Winter blues?!

Suburban - great to see you hopping in....I didnt get to respond to you because I didnt want to do it half ***** cause you know how long winded I can be.

BrandNew - hey great going on the weight loss. Enjoy the compliments but you do what makes you comfortable with your weight. Because at the end of the day you have yourself to go to sleep at peace with. Hey, do you like Tyler Perry and his whole Madea movement? Because I just noticed that you are in Philly and I am in southern Delaware...Maybe we can have a girls night..and go see a play and maybe have dinner or something...He is going on tour..I think he will be in Philly in the spring sometime..I have to double check...Let me know what you think.

Anyone else near Philly?

Update on the scale situation.It is still hidden and I am convinced he took it out of the house..because believe me I HAVE SEARCHED!! lol

I promise to check back in throughout the day.

**HardyJes** · December 11th, 2009, 01:05 PM

hey guys, again.. i'm not gone! i check in whenever I can to keep up, but it's hard making the time to post consistantly! Sounds like everyone is doing great! i love hearing all of your success. It's even nice hearing the hard parts of this journey and seeing you all pull through. It's definitely encouraging

<3 you guys!!!

Anywhoo.. I haven't been eating very healthy, but healthier than i used to, so thats a plus!! I need to go shopping and get some healthy food back up in this place! I'm just sick of spending an arm and a leg in the produce section when it's all poor quality. Michigan winter's are the worst for produce!!!

Looks like my weightloss is getting steddier!! I LOVE THAT! No, it's not the 8 lbs in one week that i experienced the first week, but it's between 1-2 lbs a week, and its feeling amazing! I'm definitely starting to see the difference! Even my boyfriend commented how hott i looked!!

!!!!! he normally tells me i look hot, but this time it was more of a... "babe, you look hot! no really.. you look.. HOT! Wow!" I loved hearing that. It makes this all worth while. I'm feeling better about myself, and confident i can reach my goals.

Speaking of goals, to reach my goal of being in the 140's by new years, it looks like it's going to happen!! I only need to loose 5.9 lbs to be 149.9! I haven't seen that since high school!

I have exactly 3 weeks to do this! 2 lbs a week.. i can do that, right?? Well with your guy's prayer and support, of course i can!! You guys are awesome! I'll keep you in my prayers as well! <3

**SuiteLady** · December 11th, 2009, 01:16 PM

Hey Jes!! YES! You can so reach that goal by the New Year...that is sooo doable..focus! =)

**SuburbanMom** · December 13th, 2009, 12:10 AM

Hi, ladies!

Suite - I briefly glanced at your note but got caught up in "mommy duty" and other "stuff." I will respond to you tonight though. (((hugs)))

Jes - It's so nice to see a "new" face. (New to me since I've been MIA) Welcome and CONGRATS! You can SOOOOO achieve your goal by New Year's! Absolutely. You have the right attitude and just the right amount of drive to get it done. You are inspiring!!!

I totally understand that issue with produce. I live in the south and even though it's warmer than Michigan, it seems all our produce comes from the west coast in the cooler months. Go figure! But it's TOTALLY worth the extra money to go to an organic market if you can do it.

I've been so... out of sorts??? My son's great-grandmother jumped at the chance to babysit for us last night. We had a night out with some friends we haven't hung out with in almost a year. We had a great time...until my knee started KILLING me! I was reminded that I have this d*mn torn ACL that I need to get back in the gym to work on!

Argh!!! Then...around 4 AM, I woke up in so much pain. My tummy was killing me!!!! I won't go into detail but I was miserable. Then this morning... I won't bore you with detail but I've been sick all day. Except for when we toured a possible venue for our wedding and reception...I was at home in bed. I missed my rescheduled birthday celebration with my girlfriends and had to reschedule AGAIN!!! FI's grandmother offered to keep the baby for us one more night so I could get some rest. She is SUCH a lifesaver! Now I have to go lay down and get some more rest. I'm going to beg FI to get me some Gatorade and just lay down some more. I did manage to finish unpacking the baby's bedroom, clothes, and toys this evening but I have more work to do to be settled in. So... Off I go.

Chat with you soon, ladies!

**SuiteLady** · December 13th, 2009, 10:08 AM

Morning!

Suburban - what were you doing? break dancing? lol..just kidding..take care of yourself..you might want to drink some pedialyte. Hope you feel better. (((hugs)))

Yesterday was a weird day. I worked on my papers that are due this week. I have to finish them up today. I didnt get in a work out and honestly I think I am taking today off too. I have been up since 5 and I am now starting to feel sleepy..its raining, dark and gray here....already feeling sleepy. Going to just play it by ear. The only thing I have to do besides put the finishing touches on my papers is a powerpoint for a presentation I have to do on Tuesday - and laundry...my favorite...lol

Where is everyone?!?!

**SuiteLady** · December 14th, 2009, 01:37 PM

Hey Ladies! Where is everyone?!?

**waiting2xhale** · December 14th, 2009, 05:12 PM

Hi all, I have been busy lately eating the wrong things and feeling so tired that I am determined to get back on track and start eating right and exercising again, not to mention drinking my water. My mood has improved but I still feel so tired, so I know it is the way I have been eating. Have any of you ever heard of the Six Week Body Makeover? I hhave it and I am thinking about trying it again. Where is everyone? Helloooo...lol

**valsdetermined2lose** · December 14th, 2009, 08:20 PM

Hi all,

Ive been here just getting over a really bad head cold, im feeling better now. Hope everyone is doing good,
suburbmom, take it easy , moving can be exhausting and unpacking seems forever when your tired. hope all is well with you.

yeah where is everyone else???
This cold weather is terrible here, i cant stand it. hoping for a early spring next year. i so want to move somewhere warmer , my girlfriend has been asking me to come to Georgia but i hear there's alot of commuting. not sure yet....

Anyway, im so happy i switched the time i take my phen, seems like the afternoon works better for me.
talk to ya'll soon.

**LeJune** · December 15th, 2009, 11:27 AM

Good morning everyone:

I need to catch up. New Orleans/Alabama was good, although we were in a flash flood and our plane was delayed in New Orleans on our way back. I did not go to Emeril’s before I left. Hotel was great. I weighed myself on Sunday morning and I 234. I got on the scale yesterday and I was 227 again. I guess it was water. LOL.

Several things have transpired. Before I left Friday, we got a call from hubby’s step-mom. Biological dad (remember hubby is adopted) was in hospital from what sounded like an aneurism. He passed Sunday morning, the funeral is this weekend.

I got a call Sunday morning from my bff and my god-baby was unresponsive—they were rushing her to the Children’s hospital. Mind you my friend lives 3 ½ hours away—she got here in two hours. My god-baby went over her dad’s mom house and they couldn’t wake her. She is two. Evidently she had a high high fever got up played a little and went back to sleep and the hospital was thinking she had a seizure but she was alert and up. WHO lets a child have a high fever and not give them something. HELLO. I was so upset at his mom. It is not like she has not ever had children or grandchildren.

Hubby is so cheap—we are driving to Mississippi. Ugh!!! What’s worse is he wants to drive his mom’s car. She has an Altima—I told him a van like what we had in Miami would be better and he said it wasn’t. Remember, he has gained some weight. Maybe I can go to Emeril’s down there. LOL.

I really need to catch up and then post. Talk to you all later.

**LeJune** · December 15th, 2009, 04:05 PM

At least a couple of my co-workers are starting to notice my weight loss. One of them who had been on vacation week before last, came back and made a beeline to my desk. What are you doing to loose so much weight? I told her it was only 20 pounds but I cut this out and that, etc. LOL. Of course, I did not mention Phen.

She told me this morning that I have inspired her and she is going to start working out again because 20 pounds weight loss me made her realize it does make the difference. LOL. I told her I have about 70 more to go.

**HardyJes** · December 18th, 2009, 12:58 PM

Girls, i'd like to report some great, but strange news!......... I think my scale is broken!!!!! I weighed myself on the 15th... and my weight was 154.2. I was extremely happy with it, actually because it meant i was only .2 away from losing 15 lbs since on phen. I didn't weigh myself for a couple days, until today. It's almost noon and haven't eaten anything (because i slept in) and i'm all the way down to 148.0! What the heck?? I couldn't believe it, so i stepped back on 2 more times, picked it up, reset it, adjusted it on the floor, stepped back on... each time it said 148! Holy cow? That means i've lost 7.8 lbs since last week! How is that possible? Especially because I didn't even take phen for a day or 2... AND i've been eating like crap! I'm so confused! I do'nt even think i've had enough water!

I'm scared something is wrong w/ my scale! lol..... I don't want it to be teasing me! That would be such a letdown, seeing as i JUST REACHED MY NEW YEARS GOAL OF BEING IN THE 140's!!!! Wowzers! help! What happened? has anyone had this happen to them before? I got on the scale thinking i would have gained a lb or two... b/c of what i've been eating! HELP!

Jess <3

EDIT:

So..... I Just had my friend step on it, it proceded to say ERROR twice, then read correctly for him. I got on it next, and it looks like it was teasing me. No weightloss.. I'M SO BUMMED!!!!!!!!

**dee60** · December 18th, 2009, 01:26 PM

HardyJes - Bless your heart!! I was getting so excited for you...

But you hang in there... is gonna happen... Do you weigh at the same time everything you weigh?

**HardyJes** · December 18th, 2009, 06:23 PM

LOL i was getting excited for me too! I weigh myself first thing when i wake up all the time. That's the only time i ever record my weight... so yeah, it was a total bummer! but I'm still pressing forward! Thanks for your support!

Jess

**SuiteLady** · December 19th, 2009, 11:54 AM

Jes - lol..that used to happen to me with my old scale..Do you need a new battery? I just went and bought a new scale because I wanted one..but I am sure that the battery on the other one could use a change. Try changing the battery...

How has everyone been? I have been doing really great..not taking phen everyday...taking it and then taking a few days off..it seems to work really great that way.

I have been peeking in and havent really seen anyone checking in.

What is everyone doing for the holiday? Do you have a plan to stay on track?

**LeJune** · December 21st, 2009, 01:12 PM

Hey everyone. I am back. Oh boy. This weekend was a whirlwind. We made it to MS with no problems. Very hard on my FIL family because he passed so suddenly. Well respected man and loved by so many. We had a chance to go to his home and look at pictures, etc. The funeral—oh boy. I have so many stories to tell you all but I guess the funniest is if anyone saw Meet the Browns the Movie. I felt like the sister-in-law telling Brown to SIT DOWN. My hubby was rambling at the funeral saying stuff that should not have been said and I kept mouthing SIT DOWN—THAT’S ENOUGH. LOL. The bottom line for me was that even though he was “his son and the firstborn” he had a family for many years before they met 6 years ago. OMG!!! OMG!!! OMG!!!!

We stopped in New Orleans on the way back and had lunch at Copelands. Ummmm. Didn’t realize the game was this weekend—the streets were packed.

I have not even mentioned the THEATRICAL SCREAMS from his biological mom when he told her Thursday night who should be on Jerry Springer.

I did very well staying away from food. Having BM problems again. I know it is because I haven’t been drinking enough water. With the road trips, I didn’t want to do much stopping. Friday. MIL, has declared she is having dinner and hubby wants to go there. I am not looking forward to it at all. Lord, give me strength!!!!

I will check in on everyone and all the posts later.

**Tequila!** · December 21st, 2009, 05:01 PM

Hi phensters! Long time no see. I'm trying to make my way back to the forum.

Hardyjes - Me too, me too - just last week! I weighed myself on our UPS scale (it's plugged in, no batteries) and it said 213.5. I was in disbelief thinking, "could it be, an -8 lb weight loss without support??" So I weighed myself 5 minutes later and it had the same weight 213.5. I turned it off and on, hit the "zero" key, weighed myself and there it was, that magic number. I weighed myself 2 hours later and got the same ole 221.5 number. There was no turning that frown upside down!

Suite - glad to see you! How are you feeling taking a few days off between pills? I did the same on my second month with Phen, only taking it every few days. I still haven't finished my 3rd month script that I had filled in September. Taking phen that way helped cure my cravings. Sometimes I feel like I should start taking them regularly again "just to do it" but I don't want to just yet. Now, I know it's ME that needs to stay mentally fit so that my body could follow.

Things have been settling down at work a bit (year end projects are done). I don't have a personal computer at home and haven't been able to post while at work. I've peeked in a few times to follow up on you ladies and to help keep me in check. I was going to make a post Friday but had an internet error when I tried to save it.
I broke down and bought a pair of Calvin Klein black corduroy pants that were a size 18. I'm a tall girl and held them against me just to see and there was about an inch of body hanging out the sides. I bought them anyway thinking I'd fit into them within a month but lo and behold....THEY FIT! AND, they fit real nice!

I've been going through some rough patches at work and home. Living on the opposite side of the states, away from my family is starting to get to me. I'm the first in my family to make such a drastic move. My issues with my BF are partly to blame. It's going on 4 years and no proposal. My BF and I haven't talked about it much but he know's how I feel. He knew that me moving into his home was a step forward for us but he seems to have put the brakes on. We somewhat discussed it the other day (I mentioned that I was seriously thinking about moving back to SoCal and wanted to talk to him before I discuss it with anyone else). Instead of talking about marriage, I can SEE that he's trying to make minor changes that have a major effect on us. It's cute and sweet to see him try to be more conciencious of what he says or does about the small stuff. He's cooking and cleaning up after himself more often and is talking about future trips.

Can I be depressed? How does one acknowledge depression? Any coping methods?? AHHH, there are times where I just feel like crying. Out of the blue, BAM, there go the tears.

Anyway, let me stop rambling on. I need to get my rear in gear!

**waiting2xhale** · December 21st, 2009, 05:25 PM

Hi all, I've been MIA for the last few days. I have not lost any weight, but I am trying to hold steady at 195. Why don't we start a New Year challenge after the holidays. I think I will be so ready to get moving again.

**SuiteLady** · December 22nd, 2009, 10:00 AM

TEQUILA!!! Can you hear me screaming! Soooo happy to see you..I SWEAR I was thinking of you yesterday...wondering how you are...had not seen you in a while..this was all while I was in Marshall's - Christmas shopping..and someone smiled at me and when I smiled back my top lip stuck to my teeth...lol..I laughed at myself..and thought of you immediately..lol...I had serious dry mouth...Well, I am soo glad you are back and hope you will get to check in more often. I am doing okay with the every few days..its time for me to take a few days off but its PMS time so until I actually get my period I will take them because I can eat like a piggie this time of month..I havent weighed myself..and wont until the 1st of the New Year. I had my hubby hide my scale..so we shall see..As for you living far from family...I can soo relate...my family is in NY and I am in Delaware..it can be really hard sometimes...hang in there.

Okay..sooo some totally disturbing news..my Pediatrician was arrested last week for the rape of a 2 yr old..and it seems that after his arrest and a warrant was issued they found videos of him brutally performing sex acts on other children...so he is charged with about 6 rapes all together and a shyt load of charges of sexually exploiting children.. SO SICK!! I can speak only for myself when I say that he was always great with me and my children..and I never suspected a thing....that is so disturbing to me..since I felt so comfortable with him...still he was never left alone with my kids..I am a helicopter mother..and pretty dang PROUD of it.

Waiting - yes..we are definitely on for a New Years Challenge..everyone MUST put their goals in their signature and we will work hard every month to meet them..seriously...so lets make them realistic so we can reach them.

**SuburbanMom** · December 22nd, 2009, 03:32 PM

Hi, ladies! How's it going???

Tequila!!!!!! OMG! How are you??? As if I can speak?! Hey, girl!!!! Congrats on keeping on track and your 18s! Awesome!!!!! I'm glad your end of year projects are wrapping up at work. Sorry things have been so up and down though. That's rough. And that would TOTALLY explain the emotional bouts. Stress does strange things to us. Trust me! I know all too well unfortunately. So... Did your BF address the propose SoCal move? Glad things are getting better though. The little changes make a huge difference!!!

Suite - Don't you DARE pick at me! LOL!! I was NOT breakdancing! I have been avoiding surgery and I know the only way to do that is to strength all the muscles surrounding the knee.

I HATE to hear about your daughter's pedi! How freakin' scary is that?! It would freak me out too! My heart breaks for the children he hurt. I can't even imagine how the parents must be feeling. My question is... How was he able to examine the children without the parents or a nurse present? I'm not blaming the parents!!! Please don't get me wrong, but I don't understand.

LeJune - Sorry to hear about DH's BD. Even though he didn't raise him, it still had to be difficult for him to say, "Goodbye." But I have to admit I chuckled when you mentioned Meet the Browns. LOL! That movie is a hoot! But I'm a huge Tyler Perry fan anyway! LOL!

And who in the world doesn't take a child's temperature REPEATEDLY when they're running a fever?! I know when my son is sick, I'm anal about it! (No pun intended) Ugh! Is your godbaby okay now???

Sorry about the BM issues. I have issues too but I believe I have IBS.

I'll know for sure after my doctor's appointment on Monday morning.

Waiting - Hey, girl! You sound like me. Not making the BEST choices, but holding steady and not gaining. (As I sit here with my Popeye's and stress up to my eyeballs, right? LOL) I'll pay for it later. Eating crap makes me feel like crap! Argh!!!!

Val - Come on down to Georgia! We have plenty of dental practices down here that are always looking for good people! And if not, you can always be a Soft Dent trainer!!!! But be warned...the traffic is awful depending on where you live and work. But it's not unbearable!

Jes - Sorry to hear about the scale playing tricks on you. I agree with Suite, maybe switch the battery out??? Mine has been stupid but that's because FI stepped on the power button and broke it. Now it's in a weird position where you have to push it up and in to get it to work.

Hi, Dee! *waving*

Not much to report here... Work is stressful! On a scale of 1 to 10, it's about a 7. My personal life is... Eh... Not bad just a lot going on. I'm GLAD to be moved but now the real planning for the wedding begins. That has me at a 10! Seriously!!! I would seriously consider eloping if I didn't think I'd break my mom and dad's hearts. LOL!

I'm not ... I'm not sure what I started to type since my co-workers just interrupted and I had a 15 minute conversation with a dental practice in TN. LOL! Sorry!

Hmm... Weird. Anyway...

I'm on board with a new challenge. You can disregard what's in my signature and I will think of some new goals tonight! LOL!

Talk to you soon!!!

**Tequila!** · December 22nd, 2009, 05:06 PM

Hi again ladies!

Suite - OH MY GAAAAWWWWD, that's hilarious! Thanks for the laugh! I too found myself garbage-mouthing around my period. I noticed that little habbit only after reading my food journal while on Phen. I also take phen around that time to maintain. I'm hanging in there!!!

Suburban - thank you, i needed to hear that. I am somewhat a coward, I must admit. I initiated the conversation regarding the purpose of my move.... it's time to go and he's here. Speak of the little devil....lol.

I'll be back tomorrow!

**SuiteLady** · December 24th, 2009, 09:45 AM

Hey Ladies! Merry Christmas!!

I hope you are all in the Christmas spirit..cause I really am not...I dont know why...I totally just want it to be over this year..I am looking forward to New Years though....=)

Suburban - I spoke with a detective handling the case and some of the molestation was done with the parent in the room..he had hidden cameras...and he would drape them while examining them sometimes and stick a finger in the little girl or just tape her privates..and some of the parents were trusting enough to let him take them to the back room to get their treat..obviously..they must feel terrible right about now..I would be suicidal...omg..how sickening.... =( Makes me sad just to think of it. Glad he is behind bars..he needs to be castrated and tortured..the SOB..ugh..

Okay...so we are all in for the New Year..I am glad..I seriously have a lot of things coming up in the spring and summer and I really want to be at my goal...I graduate in May with my bachelors...and I am coming out in my besties wedding...my cousin is marrying her...and vacation...so I need to seriously get my act together..I know what to do..now I need to do it...

Where is everyone? What are you all doing for the holiday?!?! I have things to do and I am still sitting here...my mother in law is coming...ughhh....

heehee

Hey, ladies!!!

Tequila - Don't be a coward! Have courage! I believe in telling people exactly what I want and need. That way they can never say they don't know!

Suite - Girl, please do not get me started on the MILs! Girl... *sigh* I'm going to be nice though.

I'm with you. I am not in much of a holiday spirit either. That is completely ODD for me too! Usually I LOVE the holidays! But this year and last...not so much.

I am praying my way through it though and looking forward to the new year as well. I too know what I need to do...and I have to do it whether I have the support I want or not. I have to find what I need within. I have so much I'm looking forward to as well!!!! I was planning a surprise trip to Puerto Rico for FI in February but I really don't need to spend that kind of money. We're supposed to get married in November and every penny needs to go towards that really.

*sigh* I need to work on my siggy. Okay... Here goes nothing.... LOL

Where is everyone else??? I hope you're well and enjoying your families!!!!!

And I'm not ignoring your post about that sick SOB pediatrician. I just can't give that sick ******* any energy. I hope he effin rots in prison!!!!
