that name doesn't ring a bell ... but that doesnt' mean he's not great!

Oh, I got it ... and I have good news, and bad news. The bad news is that your memory is off, the good news is you actually lost this week! lol I responded to your email.

Ok, ladies ... it seems as we progress, we're getting a little lazy on sending in the wieghts! Don't make me come find you! lol I am still missing from the following people ... cessyboston (Erica) JamaicaBride062108 (Erin) Raeka (Mel) Saraha shelleyf (Shelley) tvt (Tara) I know that a couple of you have said they're on the way ... so no problem! I will post the overall results tomorrow.

woohoo! i usually get a few late stragglers, no big deal. so i wait for Thurs. morning!

I normally post updates on Thursday morning, after I get all of the weigh-ins on Wed. throughout the day. So you can check back any THursday morning! But I am STILL missing 7 people!

how cool, Catherine! so are you currently a teacher? why do i remember you saying you ran a day care? i think i am getting confused trying to do too many things at once!

This was my EXACT situation ... divorced, 33, didn't want a shower. We just had a girls night out ... or really just dinner, because I was only in from Chicago for a short time and it was last minute. I wanted to do a spa weekend where we all just relax and have some wine, but my best friend had just done that for her shower. But things like that would be fun - just say NO GITFS! lol But a spa weekend/day, or wine tasting, fondue restaurant, etc. - those were things I had wnated to do.

that works for me! (sorry to be difficult!) lol

Welcome back, Marla - I know I already said thsi in my email, but I can't wait to see your pics!

I live in southwest Mpls - so I could probably suggest a few places. However, I am out of town that weekend - in CA for work the week of 5/12, then to AZ for the weekend to visit mom until the 18th. But if it works for everyone else - please go ahead with plans! As for the where ... what kind of place are we looking for? There's Edina Grill (good food, pretty casual), Teja's, and Salut - all in the 50th & France area. Then there's lots o' restaurants by Southdale (Cheesecake, PF Changs, etc.). Or there's Uptown too - Stellas (seafood) or Bar Abeline are 2 I can think of.

what a problem to have! yay, amanda!

i think you're right

So would that be Week 5? Then we have 3 more weigh-ins after this week, with the last one being on 4/30 ... does that seem right?! I think so - then that last one would be the 8th week. Whew. Also, once I get all of the weights from this week I will also post the total % loss for the group ... it's pretty cool to see! I haven't had a weigh-in from tvt (Tara) for a couple weeks, even though I see she's logged on to the forum recently. I've sent her a PM to see if she still is planning on doing this whole thing. Has anyone heard anything? Side note ... someone dropped out this week ... who was it? I remember reading it, but didn't remove them from the list (and am too lazy to go back and look!).

lol - thanks, Kristy! everyone seems to be doing great this week ... woohoo!

I forget that not everyone knows the whole story! lol That does sound crazy if you weren't around when it happened! Oops! There were 3 of us from this forum that met in Chicago with my wedding photographer (Leigh Miller) and had our boudoir photos done ... we got a great deal, she rented a studio, etc. So there were 3 of us from this forum meeting for the first time, and getting all glammed up (and semi-nude!). It was a little akward at first, but by the end of the shoot we were walking around mostly naked, sharing outfits, and just having fun! Not sure if that explanation makes the story better or worse ... lol

Looks like you've figured it out ... welcome!

i can't think of anything specific, but i just don't like knick-knacks, so if I ever get one ... I'll likely hate it! lol

Quote: Originally Posted by Sarah Knowing Ann knows what I weigh since she's seen me naked really is a motivator too...lol Oh yea, baby! I have some pics to prove it! Well, I don't really have them .. but I know where they are!

I love that jumping picture - how fun!

AHHHHHHH! Heidi, you are one of the most genuinely happy, and glowing brides I've ever seen ... you just radiate happiness! I am so excited for you! I cannot wait to see even more pics (you know us too well!).
