Congrats Cat!

Awww E....how sweet!

Love reading all these posts...sometimes one needs these positive things to read.

....you look down at the scale and you realize, yes, you HAVE lost 20 pounds.....finally!








(Sorry, I am so happy about this, it's been a long fight with more to go and I have to tell somebody other than my husband and my mom! )

Holy smokes girl!
Congrats if that was your goal.


I hope you have not lacked in nutrients in doing some horrid "crash diet".

Don't you just love it when after searching for a job for a few months you finally get a good job with nice people...

congrats Cassie...

Nope, doing it the old-fashioned way, with good diet/portion control and exercise! Oh, and the occasional treat.

My overall goal is 100 + pounds. Losing on average a pound a week, so I figure it will take me another year or so to get where I want to be. I'm just psyched about hitting 20 pounds because I am close to 1/4 of the way there and had to share it with you all.



that is the best feeling, isn't it? Congrats again Marilyn!

Great accomplishment Cassie.. I'm sure it FEELS good too !!!

Just saw this Cassie, congratulations to you, I know it's hard work

And I just had some good news....my Sister found her dog - because of some very nice people.

Her dog got out yesterday as some stranger opened her back gate. She spent hours and hours searching to no avail, however she stopped in at Starbucks and talked to Holly there.

What she didn't know was that Holly entered the information in to the Starbucks computer so the next shift would get the info. Also, another woman who works there was listening while my Sister was talking.

Long story short, the other woman saw Buttercup go in to someones back yard and called her work to get the number and then called my Sister.

Buttercup is at the puppy salon getting burrs removed - but at least she is home safe and sound!

Awwwwww to everyone and everything that has gone well for you. Congratulations.

I have nothing to report. Just thought I'd pop in to see other people's good news.

Don't you love it when your hubby insists on cutting the grass when you really want him to sit on the couch and watch a movie with you, but lawnmower gods have different plans and ensure that it won't start.

...you're in the middle of typing a random text to your husband and see that he has sent one at the same time(with a 7 hour time difference )

oh - that is sweet

When you find out why the flour here sucks and by doing a little research you can easily buy bread flour and treat it like the all purpose flour back in Canada, yay i can bake all the goodies for thanks giving. Its all about the protein in the flour Canada regulates it but the US doesn't so look for flour with 4g per 30g serving of protein all the other stuff is the same as our all purpose flour in Canada.

..when total strangers welcome you into their midst and make you feel like family

..when your hubby goes out on your 3rd month anniversary (Sept) early in the morning to buy a rose and leave for you to see when you wake

That's really nice BH

Ontarkie, that is excellent information to know!

Don't you love it when you feel like you belong at your job and that you were meant to be there...

oh so glad to hear that Marilyn!! Wahoo!

Don't you love it when you finally see the light at the end of the tunnel and that your move to be with your love is only like 1 week away!

YIPPEE!!!!


Thank you all for participating.
This thread is so fun and so joy-full.

You go out for a walk with hubby (literally footsteps from your house) and you see THIS :

Gorgeous!

Wow!!! This is sooooo beautiful.

Thanks for sharing, Emancipation

Don't you love it when you finally feel like things are moving!

We got our NOA2 today and I'm SO happy!!

YAY!

Don't you love it when you get a new job! There is something about the freshness of it that is exhilarating. (I think it's the sheer lack of disillusionment and shattered hopes six months later... )

Hurray!!! Welcome to the big step before moving!



Congratulations, Nini!
(know what you mean )

Wow, E what natural beauty!
I am so homesick...again...

Great news all of you!
Congrats SapphireDreams and Nini.

And then my sweetie took me out for a celebratory dinner.
Sushi and sake.



Now I need a bike...and a warm climate state. Hee, hee.

Horray! I'm so happy for you.

Don't you love it when your sweetheart drives over 30 hours to be with you and that when he leaves, you'll be leaving with him, going home, living together for good, no more long-term separation

Oh, well done Spirit!

Pandora - whee!

Sweeeeeet news Pandora!!

Thanks ~Nini~!

Fantastique!!!!! May I humbly suggest the following two-wheeled conveyance.

Lorrrrdy have merrrrcy....

Just wanted to say congrats to all the good news

Don't you love it when everything is just going right

A project you have been working on for 4 months FINALLY comes together and looks SUPER awesome???

Woohoo!!!

I should put this in the vent section....but it's just ironic that I wrote that and the next day we got a car accident...

Nothing bad happened, we just got rear-ended while waiting at a red-light by a lady that was either going too fast or not paying attention... but I guess it goes here since my car got only her license plate printed in my bumper, considering how the impact felt I thought the rear end of my car was trashed....

I worked yesterday with a headache, but after 10 hours on my feet with no break I was feeling dizzy and light headed last night and still this morning, so I didn't go to work today...I guess that's the after effect of a whiplash
