How was that folks. We haven't been able to call ourselves Babes for a while, I think it is a good time to start back.

I made it through a whole day without slipping on my "D" plan at all yesterday! Hurray for me....finally made it and NOW for a go at today.

TODAY IS THE FIRST DAY OF THE REST OF MY LIFE. I can lose the rest of the weight...now if I can MAKE myself really truly BELIEVE that, I have it made! GC

Well, was I ever surprised to see you posted already, Gaye. Just consider it done, for I will believe for you, my friend. Anyone that has lost 30 or so pounds can loose more I just know. It may just take a little longer. You are doing great! I am SO proud of you. Remember when you first started, the last time? You just knew you couldn't, BUT YOU DID! I JUST KNEW YOU COULD & WITH THE GOOD LORDS HELP THE WEIGHT CAME OFF. PRAISE HIS HOLY NAME.

Good morning folks. I woke early but wrote two letters before coming on here.
I am feeling better on the "inside" today, so I am healing! Praise God! I don't think I have done this well so quick, in the past. I don't usually feel so good that I can go without pain meds long enough to drive and do things. God is good all the time.

So how is your day going? I hope we all have a nice day. I am going off the Neurontin. I woke up this morning with leg spasms in both legs. That did it for me. Going back to my Cymbalta.

Folks I better back on out for now. Jan, I haven't played with the pictures yet, but I believe with a little practice I can do it. I already belonged to Photo Bucket.
Blessings,
Billie

Good morning chill'n!
GC~
It was cool to see you started roll call! I remember how we used to start them early--and that was fun!! Hey--we can do whatever we want on here, well, within reason that is.

And yeah, WE ARE BABES!! BC mentioned our virtual walk with our lipstick and red boas yesterday I think it was, and SueBabe did the other day too. This is our BABE Forum--(and HUNKS too guys!! c'mon in!)

BC~
I am SO happy for you! Just to hear that you are healing inside and out makes me happy. You SO deserve it honey!! I love you!! Keep it up!

I'm also happy that you think you can do Photobucket!! YAY! That's the hard part. There's nuttin' to posting on here once you have that figured out!! I can just see all the cool, crazy, fun posts coming up......

I'm gonna have a slow day today--I kinda overdid yesterday. You all know how that goes--one thing leads to another. You start out shaking a rug and end up vacuuming the whole downstairs.... then in-between....... oi vey...

So.... and I can't even sit in my recliner, that broke 3 weeks ago. I knew it was going from Hailey and I "swinging" with her on my legs and rocking fast. Dangit, it was a Lazyboy too....... I'm too stubborn to buy a new recliner cuz I have too many wingback chairs that are in the attic not being used since I moved. I use a folding chair. Stupid, I know.... I think it's the stubborn German in me........

And tonight GRAY'S ANATOMY is on!!!!! First is Survivor! Does it get any better than that?? Jeesh, boring night if TV is the highlight, huh? Anyway, for those why watch, Gray's--who do you think Merideth is gonna pick? I hope Dr. Dreamy!! Oh man, talk about choices!!!

I hope everyone has a GREAT day! Good luck with your "D" & "E"!
Hugs,
LS

Thanks for the encouragemnet Billie, you're right I did it once I CAN DO IT AGAIN!
I am so glad you are feeling better today and glad you are out and about today too! We will keep on praying for you to get better and better daily! Neurontin is overated and did nothing for me when I took it...except for one thing...I GAINED weight! I think you are so wise to get off it!

Jan I do remember our early morning roll calls. I think it was for me, due ot being up all night unable to sleep. That is how I did it today. LOL
Go buy yourself a new chair, you deserve it, so you will have somewhere comfortable to sit in again after our virtual walks. Hubby needs a new one too, he is using mine since it hurts me to sit in it. I sit on the couch with Zoe dog in my lap and sometimes the Paulie bird sitting on my knee.

I will be walking today (in the house) at 12:00. Anyone care to join me? GC

Gee.....are you guys SURE you wanna learn how to do graphics?? I just got done reading this thread:

http://forums.braintalk2.org/showthr...?t=1186&page=8

I only copied it where it kinda starts about the graphics. Well, it starts out kinda with "huggy kissy little girl talk" but I'm thinking that might be the hugs I give people--with the graphics. It only gets worse from there... WOW! I guess I never knew it bothered people. Another WOW! I can't believe it's bothering me this much that it's bothering other people!!

Jeesh guys, what's the deal? I'm really hurt about it, and it shouldn't be that big of deal....... something so stupid damn near bringing tears?? Maybe cuz I thought I was helping other people by giving hugs or something, dunno. Well, I guess that's coming to a screeching halt!

Anyway, thanks for letting me vent. Take a look at the thread and see if you wanna go through all of the trouble of learning Photobucket. We can always do our graphics here in our BABE forum, right? If anyone doesn't like it, please let me know, k? Man, now I have a complex....
Hugs,
LS

(((((((((HUGS JAN)))))))) I read that too...actually if someone doesn't like hugs and kisses they can block those members names can't they, so they can be serious. Hugs and kisses keep me going when I want to give up sometimes! (Frogs and CHOCCY are good too) (((((HUGS))))), XXXXXXXX, OOOOOOOO, and cute pics, make life so much FUN!!

I can understand some wanting to be serious and that is fine for them..it is kind of like the ones that can't use flashing pics and stuff. We got folks that need to have posts spaced between paragraphs due to neurological problems so we have LOTS of different needs.

Please don't get HURT my WONDERFUL FRIEND, Without your GREAT PERSONALITY, PICS etc, on this and the other forums we would ALL be so DULL! Your're the best Cheerleader and FUN PERSON I Know!!!!!
I bet Doc John would agree that laughter is VERY HEALING for depression, being alone, grieving, etc. My favorite book says "a merry hearts is good medicine".

I did post on kimmydawn's thread about us needing to use her thread daily, to help us through, cause there are folks that need to gain info without some chit chat...so maybe that will encourage more people to post about weight management and healthy eating plans.
US BABES can still have our FUN! Be like having our cake and eating it too! LOL From what I have read of Kimmydawn's threads she is a FUN lover too! I like her name signed in BIG HOT PINK letters.

Billie and I got fussed at for being happy and having fun, by a member on a certain forum on the old BT, so we just kind of started having fun on the weight loss forum, then in you came Jan and other wonderful fun loving folks! YIPEEEEEEEE!

Ha, to lose weight, deal with pain, and handicaps, we NEED HUMOR BADLY! Add pain to weight loss and ya know what you get without fun.....BITCHY! Please excuse the strong word...but it fits me when the pain HITS and HUNGER strikes...being a NAG or FUSSY is not strong enough for what I become. LOL

ALL SAID MY FRIEND, YOU ARE WONDERUL AND SO ARE ALL THE KISSY PEOPLE ! We just got to leave room for those that aren't kissy and honor them by being more serious on their threads. People are all like different foods....there are so many different kinds and all of them are good, we just got to chose which ones we like the best and leave the rest uneaten.

I tried the photobucket ....alas too dumb to use it ...will still try again. Thanks, GC

ps: I STOLE THE BIG OLE SMILE FROM SOMEONE! hee, hee!
I think I am better at stealing than anything! Now got to figure out how to make them appear without clicking them. Hmmmmm think that is maybe where the photobucket comes handy?

Hello to my weight loss buddies What a day, what a day! I have been on the phone all day today, and not fun phone calls either. SO that means that I have done alot of stress eating. I ate half a can of cashews and didn't even realize it. I was not even hungry but since I was on hold forever I started munching.

I hope we can keep this forum fun. I like all the banter between us. It may not always deal with weight issues but I like seeing what crazy picture Jan will put up next. Then with Gaye and Billie stealing frogs...well I enjoy that stuff. When I didn't have touch with all of you this summer I was bored and boring

So for the rest of the day I am going to try to eat healthy---No I AM going to eat healthy. Did anyone watch the premier of The Biggest Loser last night? It looks like it is going to be a good one. I love to see the changes in those people and it is also inspiring to see them struggle but also see the results after. Anyway, hope everyones day is lite...Sue

Sue, I saw a little of Biggest Loser. MY cable was not working good (fixed today) so it was not real clear. Wish I could have seen it all. I too like to see them shrink and be successful! GC
Gonna put a stolen frog on here, Hee, hee!
