you can do this, my goal is to have wt off by birthday in april. that give me 8 months to lose 74 pounds. i find that doable.

take care and you can PM or e-mail me my e-mail is KandyKiss31@aol.com

best wishes!!!

Have you guys ever had a day like this???

you wake up late, for a meeting (with my high school)

you have to cancel your date bc your mom or someone makes you stay around till the school can get everything in order, like hello 2 hours, stupid paperwork.

then your amazing boyfriend come over bc your having a bad day, so you decide to go to six flags, and guess what YOU GET A FLAT TIRE. yeah you dont know how to fix it , your boyfriend does, but no way in hell i am gonna let him stand next to the highway to fix my front left tire.

then you finally get there, after waiting for a nice mechanic to pull over and go to sixflags, you pay 12 dollars for parking, get to the park w. your season pass, then turn around and leave bc it starts pouring.

SO THEN... you decide to go bowlin, you hav a lota fun the first game, but the second game, you finally win and your happy, then he gets mad bc you "rubbed it in" but i swear i said one thing.

so now your in a fight . you go home and your comp doesnt work, so you cant get directions to dinner that you are suppose to be going to, thank god for 411.

finally get there and after chacking www.dwlz.com for what to eat at Atlanta Bread Co. you settle on a 6 pnt tuna salad. The woman behind the counter doeant understand what that is tho. She said it comes with a sandwich. I said, ok i want the tuna salad, but not on bread, so she is like you just want tuna salad like 2 scoops on a plate, YES!

so i ordered two of them. and when they got to the table,. it was just regualr out of the can tuna, and there was only one plate, my boyfriend and i split it. So i went up to her and was like, what is tuna salad? where is the cut up egg and the cut up celery. she is like that is how we serve it. So that was great!

then ian and I spent the night at my sisters where i am babysitting today.

on a good note, i ate 23 points yesterday.
even through all that.

Minni Mouse. No i dont attend meetings I did for a while but now i dont, bc i didnt like them, and i am so broke bc i am in high school, i cant afford them. but i am doing really well actually i really am craving a stupid supcake, they are sitting in the kitchen but i know it i eat it that is 5 points i wish i didnt.
I am saving up this week for my Dads going away party on Saturday.

maximum--i dont know what rice vinegar is, but i'll check it out sometime. yeah that website is awesome, i used it last night . Ugh read above.

thank everyone for you support have a great day.

COLLEGE?!?! >man I dont know what i am gonna do. I wanted to be a teacher all my life, but now i am thinking i need more than 48 000 a year, so i dunno, maybe be in adverstising and business. But then there is the whole where do i want to go deal, Ya know GA offers HOPE, but my dad saved a lota money for me to go anywhere i choose. (i am def. a daddys girl)But see my dad is moving to arizona, and like a year ago i told him i'd go to college out there if he moved and got married. well he did, and now i am torn.

ON one hand, I dont wanna leave GA and my amazing boyfriend. I love him so much, I cant see myself with outhim. He told me if i moved he'd go too. But I cant let him move away from his faimly too, so i can live with mine. And my lil bro and big sis live here. My mom and stepdad. I dunno.

then there is Arizona, i love arizona. I love my new faimly out there, i lovedASU the college, i love the weater and the sights, and my daddy is going to be there.

I just dont know what i am going to do.

:) Laura...the six flags day really blows and I've had days like that, I'm sorry that happened, but it gave me a chuckle...Not laughing at ya, baby, hopefully smiling with ya!
Makes me realize I'm not the only one who has a bad day once in a while...
Story....We went to six flags like 2 weeks ago(Parking Fees are outrageous!) ...
On the way home we were on the turn pike and I see this "Kangaroo???" in the road just bouncing around...and I'm like..."what is a kangaroo doing on the highway?" and my husband and kids were just watching this thing bounce around...I'm like "That isn't a kangaroo, maybe it's a little kid running back and forth"...Then this car in front of us is dragging it's rear end and sparks are flying EVERYWHERE, looked over at the "kangaroo" while husband is now weaving in and out of traffic along with all the other cars...It was a tire! Bouncing all over the road...Semi's are weaving...Oh my gosh...the car in front of us lost their tire!

So, we see the guys stop their car and get out and look in bewilderment...and then just start laughing... Hysterically...teenagers, so we just laughed and went on. Thank God no one was hurt in all that high speed traffic! So you talk about a bad day! At least your's was only flat! But the good thing is, you are well.
Love ya, Laura!:up:

lAURA,

That's weird about the Tuna Salad, Maybe it was supposed to be on a bed of lettuce, like a SALAD... hmm Weird....

You know IMHO.... If you want to expand your horizons... Do it.... You only live once and your only single for so long before you settle down get married and have children, THen thats it you are where you are.......

So be free little Bird.... Fly where the wind takes you..... Or make trhe best of where your at! :up:

Tryin2looz-- OH MY GOD that is the funniest thing i ever heard, it makes me see my story a bit funny. But why would a Kangaroo be in the road?? But that is funny. Oh my god, i get so scared in situations like that.

Maximum-- What is IMHO?? I know I am only single once, but I really do love Ian, and I just cant leave him , we have talked about it, and it would hurt alot. But I dunno, I guess we'll see in a year.

Today MAN i am CRAVING chocolate and sugar like you woudnt belive. With my lunch I ate half a cupcake (2.5pnts) I am glad i only ate half of it. I cant wait to weigh in on monday I hope I lost some weight, I feel like I am not eatting alot, but i dont think i have lost anything, but it takes time.... and i am the worst water drinker. I dont like it.

But other than the cup cake i havent beenbad

:D That's what I was wondering...It's Oklahoma...What the heck is a kangaroo doing in the road?" LOL LOL LOL:D :D The only thing I can think the IMHO...would mean...and maybe I'm vain, is Is My Hair Okay?

lol again...I'm in a goooood mood today...I am so glad I found freedom doing The Lord's Table Plan...It is so great...and each day I'm freer! Have you looked at it yet? I'll put a link here. It's a 60 day FREE online course and it is Bible based. You might like it, and you might not...hey it works for me and I love it.
As for the boyfriend, that is no one's business but yours. It is your life and yeah you may only be single once, but you are always accountable to yourself, God and your future husband and every decision you make matters. If you like him...good, if ya love him, good...If ya hate him, good,..as long as you know yourself and are true to that.
U GO GIRL!
