(edit) Wow...I just went to tickerville to move my ticker and I am down another 3 pounds...that just made MY day!!  

So a friend of mine that I have been friends with for 26 years called me about 2 and a half months ago and asked me to join a "weight loss challenge" with her on Wed nights for 10 weeks.
At the time, I said I couldnt do it, I was just running ragged toward the end of school and didnt have time to spare.

She lost 20 pounds in those 10 weeks and 6 extra in the few weeks since then.
She called me last week and said another challenge is starting, this time for 8 weeks.  Since it is summer time and I have a little extra time and am doing well on FTS for 5 weeks now I thought it might give me motivation to do this.  No plan to follow she said...

So we pull up and I said, so is this through community ed or something? How did you hear about this?"
She said she read it in the newspaper...then it came out. She said, "oh, she also sells Herbalife"
I said, "Oh NO!" I am NOT interested...furthermore been there done that!"  Lost alot of money and not weight...if I did I gained it all back quickly plus.
Soooo...she said she is not pushy.
We go in and stand in line to weigh...I didnt see the HUGE table full of Herbalife bottles, shakes etc for sale yet.  We start the meeting and she says you don't have to buy Herbalife but you will LOSE ALOT MORE if you do.  I told her I gave up sugar 5 weeks ago. Her comment was "oh you can't do that, you need sugar for energy!"  I then told her that I have more energy than I have had in years. She looked soooo confused.

Anyway, she started her schpeel and I sat patiently, 95% of the women did NOT buy her products. So I met new friends and will see what happens, friendly competition won't hurt me...right? Sandy 

I was laying in my lawnchair on the dock this weekend
and my girls said, "mom, you have a funny looking spot on the back of your leg"
Yes, its a tiny mole but not a normal looking one! I am calling Dr. tomorrow, please
pray for positive results.
Thanks!

Yes I am tooting my own horn 

After a disappointing weigh in last Monday, I decided to switch things up a bit...
My "ticker" has moved quite a bit since then!
I am off for a day at work, with snacks in hand!  So excited!

I have never heard of Jicama...
What is it and what is best way to use it?
Sandy 

So I was at Walgreens this afternoon and went down the candy isle...they had buy one get one free on all bags of sugar free candies.
For 5 pieces it ranged from 22 -28 carbs, 0 fiber of course....
This doesn't sound like a good deal to me!  Peppermint patties (my fave!) were very high.
Am I missing something here?
Please help...I could use a fun treat.
Thanks!

Im heading to the store in the morning to buy a multi and some b12.
Do you have suggestions as to which brand to buy?
