Yardies at home and Farrin (part13)

[phillyfashionista 8]

Does anyone want to start a weight loss team here on VJ and track through 50millionpounds.com so we can support each other?

I'd join but I'm afraid of failure!

I know people need support but sometimes I feel like it's something I want to quietly do on my own. Then when you start to lose enough weight where people start commenting, it drives me crazy. People always have to make such a production out of it and for some reason, it really annoys me. Does anyone else get like that?

I wish everyone the very best though! I'll be your cheering section!

Ells is rough I know and it definitely takes dedication, I have fallen off the wagon many times but the important is you get back on track I and others will definitely be here to support you. I understand what you mean about doing it on your own cause I refused to do wight watchers Hell to the no would I be in there telling my fat stories NO THANK YOU! Also I don't like the gym either with all eyes pon me! I rather jog in the park and catch the breeze listening to my MP3. However I do like when people notice the weight loss that truly boosts my confidence and pushes me even harder to keep going and eating healthy. I am convinced that banana chips are the devil

Yea you can look really nice without going overboard. People have their different opinons on make-up but I think it looks nice when its applied right, but don't overdue it especially if you normally don't wear any. Try going to the mall and having them doing it. Its normally free but I think MAC charges $50 for Saturday appts.

Ellis: You're going to look nice anyway because you're going to be beaming with happiness and joy

I can't type today

You are so right which ever dress you choose you will be beautiful on that day

i like the pink too ells and for some reason, i think u have some great legs?? so i wish u could get it shorter too.. but i love the style..

Congrats philly!!!!!!!!!!!! even w/ the weight gain, that is WONDERFUL!!!

i could do the group thing.. but warning, i am not very ambitious, i would be the group lackey LOL i will not be jogging.. i know that much heehee

Thanks Quanna yes yes lets join a team. LOL @ the jogging, it was rough at first but I was up to 2.5 miles each morning before work. The hardest thing is finding a decent supportive sports bra to hold down these 48DDDs I also did Taebo too he is out of his mind but he will get you toned!

HEy ladies,

i signed up for the 50 million pound, deal but seriously i had to tell myself it wasnt a diet but moreso a lifestyle change, you cannot imagine the elation of getting on the scale and realizing that you dropped 3 pounds, when i havent been able to lose 3 pounds in 16 years...LOL.. i just had to get my mind set, the only thing is my old insecurities will not allow me to give or throw away my old clothes when i was a bit heavier cause we all know how it can creep back on us.. hell i had this pair of really cute shorts i wore in JA, like 9 months ago and they fit, man i took them in january without re trying them on and i looked like i had on a diaper, they were all saggy in the butt....LOL

Jonesie;

[JaHoney 3]

Philly that jogging will get you right each time, i do a 10 mile road race here in my town every year and have for 2 years now, we start training in april and we work up to 10 miles, by running weekly until september, i did it to challenge myself and let me know whatever i seriously set my mind too i can do.. when i crossed the finish line the first time after 3 hours( cause that is how long it took me) you should have seen me, it was like i was in the movie rocky, a huge great accomplishment, but once i quit moving running, i damn near had to crawl to my car, i smelled like a sweaty bear and i slept for 4 hours straight once i made it home...

I bought my August tickets yesterday

I got our tickets on Sunday

Happy Tuesday everyone

Very exciting Jonsie...always feels good to have the tickets purchased!

My trip last year was to reconnect with family, but this year's trip I'm going to ATI/RTI and I can't wait. I haven't had "me" time since I had Gavin so I am thankful for MIL to keep him while I spend a few days in Negril.

Good luck to you with your upcoming interview

Oh wait, I won't get to meet Gavin

Quana - Gavin went to JA last summer and had too much fun. He really enjoyed himself. I'm going to try and take him for Christmas (his bday is Christmas Eve) if the fares are reasonable.

Shemmy, you might see him - I think we're gonna spend our last night in Jamaica in Montego Bay since I opted for an early departure (we leave at 11am, so we'll reach back home at 6pm) and want to be close to the airport. Where will you be? You know after ATI I'm going back to St. Ann.

I saw your photo on FB looks like you had fun!

I also like the red dress in white for you , as you mentioned that you wanted a tea length dress previously. This dress is more of a conventional and sassy look. I would like to see a pic of it in white so I can see how the adornments look in that color. Is it sequins or beads and is it lined? That could be a definite factor in the heat but the lining can always be removed? Also the right accessories and wear your hair in an up sweep, could set this look off nice as well.

I don't think they have a pic in white but you can 'zoom in' for a better look. I'm not responsible for anyone 'online shopping' for the next hour after going to this link!

I need advice - I usually stay in local hotels in Mobay but I want something a bit nicer since I'll be with the kid. Any recommendations for one night, one that preferably has a decent restaurant on or near the property?

Hubby used to dance - when I was in Jamaica we went out all the time. It's been a while since he's been to a dance and he's lost touch. But we both share the same love for dancehall. I'm more of a dancer than he is.

I am impressed though!

I don't know what you're willing to spend and I only have one recommendation since I don't know any Mobay hotels. We stayed one night at Coyaba Resort....it was very nice! A little on the pricey side but had everything on the property and was about 15 minutes from the airport by taxi.
