A little sort of kind of off topic....
 

Just found out that I am invited to my Aunt & Uncle's 50th anniversary celebration. It will be November 3rd. Between now and then, I need to drop these last few pounds and accelerate my toning up a bit. Any healthy suggestions would be appreciated. Not going is not an option. ALL relatives should be gathered for this. They "forgot" to invite me to Thanksgiving last year and I want to be as "on my game" as much as is possible for me. Not for them. Thanks! :)

I would say start here http://216.150.68.37/forums/showthr...24&page=1&pp=15

At the risk of going further off track, how far would you have to go to get truly off-topic in this place? ;)

About 6 foot to the left and 3 foot down should be about right scotz.

Just popping in to say -- good luck and I hope you look fabulous!!

Do what you can till then Mae...and then knock um dead with you! From what I know of you from Pixies...you are bright and funny and current and interesting. Who cares what they'll think of "those last few pounds"? I'd just be glad to see you!!!!

Have fun hun!

I've seen many a thread go much farther afield than that, MV.

Getting back on track, I say ditto to everything Lixy said, Mae...altho' you saying they "forgot" to invite you to TG last year says to me there are probably bigger issues on the family table than your figure, still just wearing the confidence of being the whole woman that you are should be enough to carry the day...

And if being yourself isn't good enough..."Joke 'em if they can't take a fuck," I always say...

Yep...what she said. :)

If you're disciplined enough, do a fast.

If you're fast enough . . . .

Ok you two...enough. :p

:) Thank you for the encouragement and compliments. Yes, they all have some odd petty issues, but I don't get sucked into that. I'm there to celebrate their 50 years. I just want to feel good and healthy and have fun with it. :)

Steph...I am considering a fast to begin. Then I would move to "Ultimate Meal" shakes. I have done that before and they are healthy and would help ease my system back into the vegetarian menu. I'm also doing water aerobics and have just begun Tai Chi.

***By the way guys...great twisted sense of humor. :D
