Hi Tawanda. I'm catching up on posts after being so busy the past few weeks and I just can't pass up commenting on the photos of you in the Guess jeans. You tiny little thing you! You look great!

Congrats on being so close to goal!

Good morning Tawanda. I hope you have an awesome day!

Hey Ms. T, Have a great weekend!

[Tawanda]

3 grandchildren here today. 4 year old spent the night and will be here through tomorrow afternoon. The twins are here for the day.

I have a headache and just want to have quiet (twins are down for a nap but 4 year old has 10 million questions). I'm not able to keep up on reading posts (keep getting interrupted by 4 year old energy).

Weight still higher than ticker. I'm working on my first 32 oz of water.....

[Tawanda]

Up 1.5# from last roll call.

All grands back to their homes, DH & I are smiling (and tired). Today will be a busy one away from home----taking along my supplements, water and willpower to resist whatever they are serving. Thankfully there will be enough little ones there that I can stay busy babysitting while everyone eats (I'll just say I'll watch babies and get my food in a little bit, after their parents eat). No one will notice that I steer clear of the food.

I upped my replacement hormones back to full strength and feel back to 'happy'. Doctor wants me weaned off of them, don't know if cutting them back caused the grumpy growley T to show up......but feeling better and will begin weaning myself again this week except will try to do it a bit slower. Instead of doing the full dose one day, half dose next day trade off, I'll try two days full dose, next day half dose, two days full....... If that doesn't work (the mean me shows up), I'll give the doctor a call and ask for more suggestions. I do not like feeling at the pinnacle of PMS---isn't fair to me, to DH nor anyone else that I come in contact with. I sure haven't missed those PMS feelings/hormonal swings and I do not relish experiencing them again.

So........... today's weight 149.5#----9.5# to goal. Come on Tawanda------get it done!

Good Luck Tawanda...You're almost there ! We're all cheering for you and Biki...

[Tawanda]

Hello everyone. Life has just become a bit more hectic and chaotic than normal, thus my time here hasn't been as easy to whittle out of my day. Hopefully I'll get myself back into the MMT forums reading groove once again--starting now. I just need to carve out time once again, rearranging priorities and needs so that I can keep up with how everyone is doing.

I just listened to the Maintenance call that Nancy posted about elsewhere on the forum. It was well worth the 24 minutes of my time on the phone while the babies are napping.

Today is a beautiful, sunny day. I'm hoping to spend some time outside with the little ones after they wake from their morning nap.

Hope everyone is having a good day.

Glad to hear you're doing OK, T. And it's so nice to see you getting so close. We've got your seat all warmed up for you - right next to Biki's.

Good morning! Scale this morning was disappointing (Numbers for my own benefit if I look back through this journal: 150# which is .5 above ticker--and today is 2# heavier than my lowest weight a couple weeks ago). I chewed sugar free gum whenever feeding the twins snacks or meals so that I'd remember that *nothing* goes into my mouth that isn't a supplement. It worked well -- but I was mad at myself that I even needed to do it at this point in my MF journey.

I have an appointment today at the hair salon. Not sure what I'm having done, if it is just a trim or if I'm going short. Since I am not positive what I want I'll probably just have her do a trim.....(long hair which looks straggly and blah or short hair in an actual style-----hmmm, yes, you can see why it is such a tough decision for me to make.... ). Oh well, this is the longest my hair has been my entire life and since I'm getting close to 'ancient' in age according to my children.....this is probably the last time I have it long-------so, part of me wants to see how long I can grow it and part of me is so tired of not having a 'do' that is more attractive.

One of my children said "if you get your hair cut short, then people will be looking at your neck & face......do you want that?" OUCH! I don't think it was meant in the manner it came out of their mouth (my children are kind---but they are blunt and honest, too). So, that is running through my mind.........my wrinkled turkey neck bothers me greatly, but it is what it is, I will not have surgery to correct it, nor will I have surgery to help pull the wrinkles from my face (wouldn't it be nice if we could just grab our hair and pull it tight on top of our heads to iron out the wrinkles? sigh.........).

So........it will most likely be a 'trim'..........which disappoints me in some ways. I would hate to cut it all off, or even cut off a few inches, when I'm not 100% positive.

Can you tell that this is a huge thing in *my* mind right now? LOL

Time for a second cup of coffee and some oatmeal.

Hope all are well. I'm missing so many people who use to post.....wishing they were here (I was going to list names but decided with my middle-aged hormonal imbalanced brain cells it would be foolish as I'd forget someone important to me and hurt feelings.......).

Make it a MF perfect, compliant and successful day!

Thinking about you, my dear TEE. Caught up a little on your journal and glad you a feeling a bit better.
Not a suggestion, but short hair is so much easier for me to maintain.
I missed your pic in Guess jeans. Can you send me the link...I gotta see my TEE in Guess jeans.

[DonnaS]

Just read your post and realized I have oatmeal sitting in the microwave. I have sometimers disease, sometimes I remember and sometimes I don't.

I know that scale is frustrating Tawanda and I'm feeling the disappointment too. I have been exercising a lot lately and got on the scale this morning and it was up 1.5 lb.

You should do whatever you want to do with your hair! I have enjoyed having longer (straight) hair right now and not having to roll it or fix it much. My mother doesn't like it but my sisters love it. Although when I get down to my goal weight I may go back to short hair, don't know for sure.

I hope you have a wonderful day!

I miss them too. Have you seen a picture of a haircut you like? Maybe it's a little late for this appointment but for your next appointment start looking through magazines. Or maybe ask your stylist if you were going short, what she would recommend (maybe she has a picture or a certain celebrity in mind and then think about it if you aren't ready to do it today.) Also look through fashion magazines and magazines that are just about haircuts and see if you can find something you like. A good stylist can take a look and tweak it to make it the most flattering for your facial shape etc.
