Welcome to the forum Gina!

Nicole! Happy planning.

Hi Ashley, to the forum!

to the forum! I agree with starchild. You may still be able to get some last minute info!

I'm thinking that since I went back to eating healthy 3 weeks ago (I was out of work for 6 months and ate crap) this isn't going to be beneficial. I say that because I usually eat spinach, broccoli, grilled chicken or turkey and sugar free peaches and sugar-free jello. Also, the only thing I drink is water (however, I do have oj and skim milk for my son in the fridge). I feel very tired and bloated (not that time of the month either). Not sure if it's because I'm working out everyday or not. Is anyone else working out everyday? I'm definitely still going to do it because I can't fit into any of my slacks for work and most of my skirts. Maybe I'll feel better tomorrow. BTW, this is Day Two for me! So I added spinach to my soup for today and brought spinach leaves. I don't know how I will eat the spinach leaves since we can't have dressing though!! I don't eat baked potatoes (haven't for years) and plan on eating grilled turkey breast (4oz) with my soup for dinner tonight. So hopefully, that doesn't really make a difference.

Hi Tara! to the forum!

Same sex marriage became legal in California today. Thought this was rather interesting. Especially, seeing the 87yr old and 84 yr old ladies getting married. You have to check it out for yourself. Same-sex marriage begins in Calif. - Yahoo! News Photos

I almost dies with putting the stewd tomatos in the soup. However, I did pick them out when I ate it. There is absolutely NO WAY I will be eating them. Tomatoes and green peas are the only veggies I don't like. They physically make me sick . So, I just asked my co-worker what I should do. She said to brown my ground turkey (I don't eat beef) and then pour a big bottle of salsa on it and just eat that. Do you think that will work.

If it doesn't have meat I don't think it's a meal! So it's probably a mental thing for me. The soup is good. Last night when I made it and tasted it I didn't like it. But, today it's actally really good. I've eaten two bowls so far! Oh...and my co-worker didn't start it today. She's says tomorrow. We'll see! But, I'm going to keep on truckin!

I think it would be okay to eat one. Being that you don't want to totally deprive yourself! Just don't eat another one this week!

I was previously married and have a son who is 15yrs old. My FH has 2 children. He has said pretty much that he doesn't want more children. I personally don't care either way. I feel like if it happens it happens. Children are a blessing. But, if he doesn't have a vasectomy before we get married it could definitely happen, as I am not on nor do I plan to get on bc (I'm 37). It will be our first time as I have been celibate for years so he better watch out!

Allright...CONGRATULATIONS! That's awesome.

Maybe it's because I workout on an empty stomach. I normally eat a cup of oatmeal, 1 whole egg and 4 egg whites for breakfast after my workouts. So I'm thinking I need to change my workout routine (only do the weight training and no cardio) for this week to make sure I can follow my diet and not gnaw my arm off. Guess I'll go get some coffee since I hear it suppresses your appetite.

My FI isn't doing it but he said he would eat the soup for dinner LOL thank god cause there is no way I could cook a yummy meal for him and me not be able to eat it. It will definitely help. She has a throid problem and got on medication recently which has stopped her weight gain, but now she wants to lose 20lbs. So, I'm excited. I forgot to call her last night to remind her to get everything. I made mine last night and brought it this morning. I don't like carrots (cooked carrots to be exact) or tomatoes so I don't really like the taste. But, I can eat it. You are lucky that your FI will eat it for dinner with you cause I have to cook for my son and will be seeing him smack down on spaghetti, spinach and garlic bread tonight! Kill me now!! Quote: Originally Posted by Dez921714 I really like it too! I think I've had 3 bowls today (hey, they say eat as much as you want, the more you eat the more you lose, plus, it's ALL veggies!). I'm definately making another pot tonight (there are two of us eating it and it goes fast, especially when you like eating it). I'm thinking since tomorrow is veggies and soup and then its fruit, veggies and soup...I might add some frozen spinach it it or some other kind of leafy green veggies. That's awesome! It'll help when the cookie dish is out at work! I have FI doing it with me, but I don't know how long he is going to last...he got home from work and was like "I'm hungry" but he didn't feel like soup again and is all fruited out LOL Even if he makes it two or 3 days, it'll be really good for him. Adding frozen spinach is a good idea. I'm going to do that since I love spinach. Quote: Originally Posted by TA Jill I put curry in mine and I think I put too much, the first bowl I had was SOOO spicy, I added more water and now it just has a nice kick. Red pepper is a good idea too! I'm getting ready to heat up some soup for breakfast, I don't really know what else to eat, since today is all veggies. I can't wait for my potato tonight! Dang it...that's what I forgot last night. The curry. Oh well, at work now. So I will add to it tonight for sure.

I say go with the sash. Shows off the girlie parts a bit better!!

I haven't been many places. But, as soon as my son graduates from high school (3 years and counting) I can start traveling again for my job!! We lived overseas (Netherlands) for a year when he was 13yrs-14yrs old. However, he didn't adjust well in the schools (11 classes, including 2 foreign languages) and missed family. Hmmm...thinking now. It was great we came back cause my FI and I went from friends, to dating, to engaged! Sweet! USA Mexico Netherlands (Hilversum, Utrecht & Amsterdam) Germany Austria France Bahamas

I was planning on wearing this... But I guess I'll wear what you want... geesh.. 32 regular pantaloons Medium shirt, and gold chain. HAHAHAH my FI and I are thinking of getting him an eye patch to wear at the reception as a joke! That is hysterical!

Great job! Good luck on Tuesday!

Well, getting there is fine. It's getting home that is the problem. 90% of flights have an overnight layover (every day of the week). The 10% that dont have an overnight layover have a 5 hour layover in Miami! How can this be possible? Ugh. Anyway, now I am moving on to other destinations and need suggestions! About 20 of my 40 people will be flying from Dallas (others are from NY, LA, Denver, Baltimore/Wash DC, Pittsburgh - basically all over). Does anyone know where I can find out which caribbean islands have direct or frequent flights from Dallas? I'm open to any island (FI doesn't want Mexico) but we are on a budget. Only hotel requirement is all-inclusive. I'm trying to avoid going on the airline website and entering every possible destination to see the available flights. Thanks!! I did not know this at all! I just looked it up for 5 different airlines. This definitely sucks. I guess I will now have to re-think things. Dang it. UPDATE: I just went on Expedia and unless I was reading it incorrectly this wouldn't of been a problem. I initially went through Kayak. Not sure why they are showing other flights. But, they are and that is a good thing. I was about to panic.

Those are great! I am bookmarking this cause I love that they have a zipper. First time I've seen an oot bag with a zipper. Great job!
