"Dyk the ortho finally gave me a device that I wore on my bottom teeth only, but I had to sign papers swearing that I would show it to no one!"

DYK Hmm, what was the reason for that?

DYK I usually wind up taking mine out at 5am, when the alarm goes off and I wake Bruce up?

DYK Or if I wake up with a little indigestion and need to take a Tums?

DYK I know it would be better if I wore it every night, but I feel pretty comfortable with 3 nights a week?

DYK I should think that your boss would appreciate what you have to say?

DYK I once went through a shake-up in my office and while the employee wasn't leaving, he was being moved out of my department to another and I was just beside myself with grief over it?

DYK And it didn't help that my bosses didn't understand why I was so upset?

DYK But it was a small company, and I knew what was missing and what I was getting in return?

DYK Not exactly the same situation as yours, Elizabeth, but I can definitely feel your pain for the changes going on around your workplace?

DYK Hope you have fun in NH, Joy!

DYK My sister and BIL are headed north next week?

DYK Washington, DC, NYC, New England area, Nova Scotia?

DYK I wish I could go too?

DYK We put Washington, DC back on our travel plans for next summer?

DYK I'm so excited...I've wanted to go there forever?

DYK And the spring band trip was discussed last night at the band booster meeting?

DYK It's a 5 day/4 night trip to Orlando (Universal Studios/SeaWorld)?

DYK We told Maegan she could go if she works for it?

DYK Meaning she will have to make good grades and do all that she can to fund raise the money for the trip?

DYK I really don't know how to feel about it?

DYK But at least the price on this trip is less than half of what we paid for 2 nights in NYC last March?

"dyk I don't sleep well when I wear my whitening trays which are just like retainers. So, I'll probablly be like you and just wear them a few nights a week.

dyk I go for my consult with the orthodontist on September 9th after he puts together a plan of attack. We'll see"

DYK Don't you have to wear the invisalign's 24/7 ?

"DYK and congrats Nancy and Rebekah on getting the scale moving in the right direction! Such a great feeling....

DYK Make sure all the good weight-loss vibes are still around at the end of November when I am going to need to tap in to them! ;-)"

DYK Thanks D!

DYK I'm hoping those 'vibes' are still around then too?

DYK I still have 20 pounds I want to lose?

DYK What a cute Sadie picture!

DYK Yeah, I'd say she's looking right at home!

DYK I'll have to snap a few pictures of the puppy we're transporting to Atlanta tomorrow?

DYK I'm going to get her in just a little while?

DYK I know we're all fans of yellow labs?

DYK Her name is Sunni and she's 6 - 8 months old?

DYK I told Maegan she has Sunni duty when she gets home from school?

"dyk Its funny how people carry weight differently b/c I am heavier than you by about 5 pounds.

dyk I should weight 125ish which is like a size 2. My goal is a size 6 which is around 140ish.

dyk I never been a size 2. Even when I was really tiny, I was a 5 at 135."

DYK I think it's me?

DYK Jennie and I have kind of compared measurements when we were around the same weight and she is always able to fit into a size smaller than me?

DYK Which sucks? Haha!

DYK I carry most of my weight around my hips and thighs?

DYK I went from an apple shape at 252 to a pear around 200?

DYK I can wear a size 14 or sometimes a medium in a top and size 16 and sometimes a 14 in jeans?

DYK When I was losing weight regularly, about 2 years ago, I would go ahead and buy jeans that I liked in size 12, so I would have a few pair to start wearing when I got there?

DYK But I just haven't gotten there?

DYK It's disturbing sometimes? But I keep focusing on the fact that I have been able to maintain for 2+ years now and I know that is a pretty good accomplishment in itself?

DYK And I know I don't follow SB 100% either? That's the main reason why I don't do a food journal here anymore?

DYK What I eat is about 90% SB too, but I will throw in a few corn kernels in salads, I'll use brown sugar Splenda every now and then for special dishes and sometimes a little honey?

DYK Then there are the Lara bars and I used to eat the Vitatops once or twice a week, until I figured out that might be part of my stomach issues?

DYK I still feel like I'm eating the best for me and feeding my family good food, so I'm fine with that?

DYK I just feel like every now and then I have to shake up my system by eating different foods to keep the weight loss going?

DYK These people that say eat the same thing for lunch every day so you don't have to think about it (namely Dr. Oz), I think have it wrong? That just doesn't work for everyone?

DYK Thanks for the info, Karri.

DYK I buy the Arnold sandwich thins too? It's all we use for burgers now?

DYK I buy the multi-grain cheerios and like those? I've tried to like the original Fiber One, but I just don't like it?

DYK I'm still making the 'warm 'n' fruity' cereal with steel-cut oatmeal in the crockpot? It's not completely legal either, since it has a cup of NSA apple juice in it and I usually add a few raisins, dates and cranberries to it along with the chopped up apple and dried apricots? It's really good tho, and I am very good about never having more than 1 cup of it at a time, since it is so filling? It's never caused me to have cravings, so I'll continue to make that?
