Guest guest Posted April 7, 2003 Report Share Posted April 7, 2003 Hi Sunshine, I can totally relate! I was discouraged my whole first whole challenge. I just finished it last week. The whole challenge I could not see my body changing or the scale moving. I only lost 2 lbs. & hardly any inches. My SIZE didn't change much. But my shape did! I didn't realize it until I got my after pics back. They are in the photo section under 'amethyst'. So you may not lose a lot of scale weight. That's a good thing cause you are building muscle & muscle weighs more than fat. Your body fat is going down & that's what's important! Amethyst Hi All! Newbie to this group! > Hi everyone!

Guest guest Posted April 7, 2003 Report Share Posted April 7, 2003 I saw your pics and you look GREAT!!! I am excited about m progress. Especially after taking my week 6 pics.

Guest guest Posted April 11, 2003 Report Share Posted April 11, 2003 ---luv music and Dancin too!!! I was always at the highschool dances and was the one known to just always freak out there! I think I was really good..so I tried to get on Dance company...but my mom is harsh and was like " we can't afford it...I hope you don't make it! " so with that in my head...I messed up totally and I was the only gurl who did not make the dance company. Everyone ofmy freinds just reallyknew I would and also told me to do cheerleading..but..my mom made me feel worthless alot. and if you have to live with that everyday when you get home..that seems to matter..know what I mean?...but myhusband makes up for all that crap now! I am soooo happy with him...I always say he is my gift for putting up with a rotten family for so long! LOL..okay..I really got off on a tangent now....

Guest guest Posted April 13, 2003 Report Share Posted April 13, 2003 Oh, darn! Wish I could have helped. ( And I don't know what did but she looks amazing!!!!!!!! I want to look like her, only taller. ;o) Sunshine Re: Sunshine Hi Sunshine... how very nice of you to offer to ship the Betagen to me!! I am really so touched that you offered, but I doubt if it would ever reach me... things do have a way of disappearing in the mail out here, & I have received plenty of empty packages... so it really is not worth it! But THANK YOU so much for the thought! You don't know how many times I wish I had an airline job, just so I could get a free ticket, to make a quick trip to the US & pick up some " supplies " !!! :-) Oh well, I do have my list ready, for the next time I get there! Also, just took a peek at your pics... gosh, you look fantastic!! Keep it up! I saw Chicago twice in the past week... what did Zellweger do?? I couldn't believe I was drooling over a female body!!! :-D Avan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 13, 2003 Report Share Posted April 13, 2003 Yes, sometimes the lines are long, but not always. The last time I was hardly buying anything (ok, zone bars and chocolate covered peanuts for today;-D) and didn't have time to be in line, so we went in and out through the garden center and it was a slam dunk. We were the only ones in that line! Wow! But sometimes, it IS horrendous. The worse problem is that I tend to buy too much. ;-/ K. >Okay, I am going to Wally world and getting it.
