Natalie, go for it darling!
You are not too old for him at all. :] Hope it goes well.

 

[pink clouds]

when I am down, I will be an hourglass, timeless as ever

Haha I love this!!

About Chris...by his age I don't think four years younger than you is too young for you. It's definitely legal so whatever you feel comfortable with is cool. The only thing I'd be concerned with is if you feel he acts too boyish or young for you. Other than that I'm with Casanova...GO FOR IT!! Wear whatever you're hottest in. Although for a marina there may be a great deal of breeze and u might have a Marilyn moment. I say pants....unless the Marilyn moment is what you are looking for I hope things turn out well for you guys!!

Summerbaby you are too sweet Well either you are sweet or you are trying to get me lost in Mt. Hood (just kidding) I have always wanted to go to Colorado on a ski trip or to visit Seattle some day. You must love it where you live. WOW to see snow and mountains every day. U know Florida is as flat as a pancake. Well, north Florida has some rolling hills, but the only hills anywhere else are landfills no one gets lost on those things.

So Kevi...Texas eh....you left alligator burgers for 5 pound apple pie? Something's just not right about that...

Natalie, go for it darling!

We are going under the "preset" of friends, but I really like him and would like to get to know him. He is not very good on the phone, but thats ok, we will see... I will report to you all ...when we go out, but that won't be happening until next Saturday or Friday ...

Yea Pink ..
thats what I am afraid of, he might be a little too boyish for me. I am thirty...but I am quite a bit immature myself, but I think I am more mature than .. him ...

Natalie Darling....Wear whatever YOU feel great in. Something that gives you confidence. Just let YOU shine through. 4 years is nothing in the grand scheme of things. At 72 and 76, it won't even be an issue!

Tabbi....I am headed to your before/after pics as soon as I post here. Looking forward to seeing your progress!

Ginger....Remember, Portland is WAY cooler than Seattle! and I only live about 2 1/2 hours drive from Seattle. So, come see me and we will go tear up Seattle for a weekend, AND play in the snow!

Well, I have had a tough couple of days. Didn't stick to my diet very well. My big problem is snacking at night. I ate a decent dinner, then about 9 just wanted to snack soooo bad. I kept it limited, but ate some wheat thins and 4 fritos! (I wanted those damn fritos, so allowed myself 4 to quit thinking about them.) I cheated just enough the past 2 days that I know I will maintain and not LOSE! So, back on track today.

Something my 19 yr old said to me yesterday really hit home. I was frustrated that I had "cheated" and she said, "relax Mom, it is just food, nothing more than sustinance". Great way to think about it. It sort of takes away all the power food has over us/me. (did I mention she is a size TWO?)

Check in with you all later. Love ya all!

Tabb - Just saw your photos in before/after. YOU GO GIRL. Look at the difference in you. It is especially noticable in your face. Well done!! Keep it up!

Hey Everyone, Just got off the phone with Chris! Man does he sound hot. I wouldn't mind a kiss from those lips, but I will becareful what I say or do. Can't rush him, plus he might not be interested in anything more than a friendship, so can't jump to conclusions, but I hope I make a good impression. I see him possibly tomorrow at Starbucks. I look forward to it ... now to my homework and warming up. Just got in from shovelling ..

[tabbigirl]

Thanks Summerbaby and Natalie Jo!! I went to the gym today and worked out and I walked there! It is in the lower 40's today!
Then I walked the wrong way there. The Y is a diagonal long block and a half or so across two parking lots from my place, what I didn't realize is that they had not cleared the snow from the sidewalks between the first parking lot So I walked the long way around on the way back. Which was fine, of course.

Hmmmm Summerbaby....tempting tempting. And the avatar matches the theme Are you sure you want me to come...I'm a pretty hot chick and I don't know how snow might react to me...I'll be even closer to one of the arctic poles if i come, and we do have to consider the polar bears...I might just melt everything (just kidding) I'm doing the American thing next year Lord's willin This year I am planning the tropical thing ...Jamaica, Belize or something like that. So if the offer still stands next year, I'm IN PLUS by then I might post some before and after pics so you can see the renegade you are inviting into your home.

Your daughter is so sweet. The sustenance thing is so true!

Hey Everyone, Just got off the phone with Chris! Man does he sound hot. I wouldn't mind a kiss from those lips,

[ali2]

Not to copy but...

Tabbigirl - you inspired me to post my own before/after pics so I started my own thread in that section (Before and During - Not Done Yet)...however, I did not figure out how to put the actual pics in the post so they are there as teensy tiny thumbnails, haha...oh well, everone will get the point...

Sad to say, I hate how I look in my before pics, I just have this 'I decided to swallow an air hose' look about me...

 

[spacecase]

thanks to everyone for the friendly welcome I look forward to being inspired by you all

 

[nataliejo]

Hey everyone,
The guy I was talking about, hasn't given a definite answer when we will be getting together. I don't think he really wants to go and maybe I shouldn't ...getting the hopes up is a bad thing. .. And I have this large tendency to do that. I will call him tomorrow and see if he knows what he is working on Saturday..

On a better note. I have walked everyday so far this week ... cool beans... really getting dedicated. I am back down to a 285.0 this morning...good stuff ...

Pink clouds ...your virgin ears ..eyes lol its not happening .. he isn't interested .. I don't think ..he is just being nice over the phone. Don't I wish I could at least make a new friend. To bike ride with .. well I am going with my parents Tuesday to hike ..so that should be good exersize ..well I might not be able to go although, depends on how much I get done tonight on homework ..wish me the best and getting things done in a timely manner!

and I will go check out your pics ali.smedley...
and Welcome Space .. I just started coming to this thread ...

Thanks for creating this thread guys. I think I will get plenty of support I need right here ..

love ya all
always

Hi pink clouds,
Well, I made it. I have read some of the posts, and it looks like you have gathered a great group together.
Looking forward to getting to know / reacquainted with everyone; as I have not been on here since september, and have never been a prolific contributor...until now, hopefully.

Put me on the shorties list...5'2. I recall one of the ladies said she was 5'1 and hubby 6'1...lol...I can appreciate how that would look. I'm 5'2 and a dear friend is 6'2. We often have a friendly cuddle , and we look so funny, but cute. Hehehe...occasionally, he will stand on a lower step out on the porch, so we can look each other in the eye...lol...he is still a fraction taller, and I wear heels!

I look forward to posting in here and getting to know you all better, and help support you all through your particular journey's. My journey been a very long one, but I seem to have found what works for me, and know this time, I will succeed. In fact, yesterday, I tried on some clothes which had never fit properly; well now they do. I feel fantastic.
Best wishes to you all.
Elizabeth-Rose

WHOAAAAAAA Ali...I snuck (is that a word ) over to your thread with your befores and afters and you are so beautiful!! Your baby is absolutely the cutest little thing lol! way to go!!!

Spacecase you are more than welcome . I can't wait until I am inspiring you lol right now I am no inspiration ugh I gained yet another pound. I am supposed to be here to lose weight...well we'll see how I do this week. I am going to give it my best shot tomorrow. I think I can find some inspiration in you as well! Looking forward to hearing more from you

Welcome Elizabeth-Rose!!!!!!!
Isn't everyone the coolest?! and I think the hottest too. I actually cannot take credit for gathering anyone LOL I think this thread just attracts hotness... It is the law of present thread physics..."hotness attracts"

I'm 5'2 and a dear friend is 6'2. We often have a friendly cuddle, and we look so funny, but cute. Hehehe...occasionally, he will stand on a lower step out on the porch, so we can look each other in the eye...lol...he is still a fraction taller, and I wear heels!

OMG how romantic {where is the daydreaming emoticon?} I can actually picture it, how adorable!! My shortest boyfriend ever was 6'2 lololol (and you know that is not short at all) I used to wear high heels and still reach him below his neck. Speaking of neck...sheeesh he was a pain in my neck...glad that's over with!!

Thanks for offering your help and support..so sweet!!! I really need it. I ate like a iggy: today! Well not in quantity, I actually didn't very much or very often today, but just the things I ate...sandwich,muffin,sandwich,taco hell, soda. I think I'm really losing focus here. But alas I will try again. Welcome to the thread so glad you could join us.

Summerbaby where are you......well i guess you can't post everyday. Just wanted to let you know I am thinking of you

Nataliejo!!! I saved you for last on purpose I know getting hopes up can be a bad thing, but try not to get them down either. Just be cool and let nature take its course. If anything he is being nice, so at least you know he likes your personality. If a guy does not like anything about you (especially your personality), 9.999 times out of 10 he will not simply be nice to you. Maybe once but not on several occasions. Just take things at face value and continue to be yourself. If it works out great, if not, then you will get someone hotter. Its just the way things work sometimes. But try just to be cool about it. Easier said than done I know. But you're a strong woman, anyone who walks for 45 minutes in a blizzard is a champion in my book!

congratulations on the weightloss!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOHooooooooooooo. 285!!! Way to go. I need to follow your example lol. I need to start exercising. I am planning to do more bellydancing (in the house of course), not everyone deserves the privilege to see my belly dance...and believe me, there's a lot of dancing going on.

Have a great tomorrow everyone!! I'll pop in to let you know how I do

WHOAAAAAAA Ali...I snuck (is that a word ) over to your thread with your befores and afters and you are so beautiful!! Your baby is absolutely the cutest little thing lol! way to go!!!

Pink clouds thanks so much!!! I have never thought of myself like that so thanks for the compliment

My baby isn't so much of a baby anymore...I don't know if you noticed the one picuture w/the little girl in the red dress...that's her!!! She has gotten so big...I want her to know me as a healthy and not as someone who is going to die young, know what I mean?

nataliejo I know it is hard wondering if someone is into you but sometimes it is better to take a chance and know once and for all than to spend a lot of your time wondering...it is something to consider at least. If not, there aer plenty of more deserving men you there!

 

[Elizabeth-Rose]

Hi pink clouds,
Thanks for the welcome...feeling very comfy here with all these hot ladies and gents! We are pretty wonderful, aren't we??!!
Hehehe, yeah I know how it feels to snuggle under the neck, whilst in heels...mmmm
Pleased you got rid of that pain in your neck...not worth the chiropracter bills!
Sorry you had an attack of the munchies, today. Don't worry about it. Jump back on the wagon (hmmm...this wagon comes equipped with built in seat belts...strap yourself in.)
I hope you have a much better day tomorrow. Know we are all here if you need us. When you go to put something in your mouth you know you will regret later, think of that new outfit you have been eyeing off, or that health issue which will be made easier because you weigh less, or, whatever encourages you to make a healthier choice. I'm not saying you can't have a treat, just not several in the one day.
We will always be here for you, so lean on us.

To you and all the hotties here on this forum...let's show 2008 we mean business!!!

Elizabeth-Rose
