We always go to the Caribbean with another couple--last 7 or 8 times. I can't convince them to go to Alaska or Europe. All my husband and the other couple can think of is to escape our New York winter weather. And we do Royal Caribbean-again can't get them to try another line. Going to stop at San Juan, Labadee, Samana, St. Thomas, St. Maarten and Tortola. After awhile, they all run in together for me. But I always look for fabric shops. Don't find any. We did an AI for our 25th anniversary in Cancun--that was 20 years ago. Nice. Hope you have a great time in Aruba.

We usually cruise in Feb have for quite a few years, this year I persuaded my Dh to do a AI in Aruba. What line do you cruise and where are you going??
My plan is get out the luggage this weekend and start filling them up....

Oh and My daughter is at it again. You all know I really hate the color yellow( Its makes me want to either cry or throw up) Guess what showed up in my living room last night? A yellow french provincial dresser that my daughter bought at an auction house. yep there it is with those stupid smiley handles stairing at me. I want to open the drawer and throw up in it. but I won't. This after the yellow tree decorating incident. She is really trying to kill me i think

Now, now she is not trying to kill you lets get real she is just trying to have you committed. But you needn't worry if that happens Missy will tell you all the ins and outs of the phych ward. They will only keep you there for 48 hours to observe your behavior. Just tell them you do not want any flowers from DD as we know she will more then likely send you yellow roses. :shock: :shock: :lol: :lol:

Anyone want to share some sucess stories from other months? What is the adverage weight loss for a win? I enjoy reading tips & stories...I must admit that a vegan diet sounds interesting but I doubt I could stick to it.

Oh well!! Happy New Year's everyone.

Count me in :-) I'm new to the list but I feel I'm among friends here. I managed to lose 25 lbs a couple of years ago by staying on 1000 calories a day until I stalled there. Since then I've put some back on, but not the full amount and I was thinking about trying again so this is the perfect opportunity. I'll probably be the lagger, but that's okay.; I know I can't do more than about 1-1.5lbs/month or it won't stay away for me.

I'm back in this month. If I can get past my anniversary (Jan 1st) and birthday (Jan 3rd) without lots of extra eating, I should be doing good this month.

Oh good Diana, I am the same way. More than a couple lbs. a month and I know it is being dehydrated. I also agree about the growling stomach tells you you're really hungry. I have heard from several reliable sources that many times when we think we are hungry our bodies are actually thirsty so drink water first! I have also found that drinking a diet coke for that afternoon "shot in the arm" energy boost actually triggers your brain to want to eat because you promised it sugar with the no calorie sweetener, but didn't follow through. I try not to do that anymore or have an apple or yogurt also. Hey after all day with teenagers sometimes I need that shot in arm [to avoid putting one through my head]. I love my students and they are great kids, but sometimes teen angst makes my eyes cross...
