Buy this!"- It was a little overwhelming... soooo many vendors.  One of em asked if I wanted any electrolysis or cellulite removal- I responded with a raised (shaped) eyebrow and a "why, do I look like ... http://infjoy.buddyslim.com/2010/01/24/wedding-woes-and-other-stuff/ I started taking Alli to help with my weight loss.  It seems to be effective, right off the bat.  The side effects are less than desirable, however.  Not for those who aren't willing to change their entire lifestyle! First off, you take one pill @ each meal, and a multi-vitamin at ... http://infjoy.buddyslim.com/2010/01/20/alli-side-effects/ Well, not that many.  But I cried for over an hour after my dress fittings today.  Trying to get an early jump on the wedding gown frenzy, I took my friend Jenna with me to Alfred Angelo.  Literally, I tried on at least 12 dresses, probably closer to 15. I've heard ... http://infjoy.buddyslim.com/2010/01/17/27-dresses/ Been red meat free for over a week now!  No steak OR pork AT ALL!  I've had some chicken and some fish, but mainly lean stuff.  I actually feel pretty good- picked up some iron pills to counter-balance my anemia.  Also been taking vitamins and SlimQuick- finished the 7-day cleansing ... http://infjoy.buddyslim.com/2009/12/09/red-meat-free-week-two-phase-two/ So I'm down 2 pounds!  Yes I just started again, and most of it is water weight- but I've been good about sticking to my SlimQuick regimine and my no-meat dieat (only had some fish in my sushi, but other than that mostly rice, veggies, fruits and peanut butter for ... http://infjoy.buddyslim.com/2009/12/03/yay-for-girls-nite-out/ I don't know what else to do.  I feel like I'm spiraling out of control on my weight. I can't understand why or how I've gained so much over less than a year.  Nothing has changed in my routine, my diet or my (lack of) exercise.  But ever since I turned ... http://infjoy.buddyslim.com/2009/11/29/help-please/ My wonderfully awesome boyfriend proposed to me last night!  He totally surprised me!  I was absolutely blown away and ecstatic! He's even agreed to come dance with me so I can lose weight- he's amazingly supportive. In not so good news, my 6 year old son has the swine flu.  He's recovering ... http://infjoy.buddyslim.com/2009/10/16/im-engaged/ Ugh.  I'm back.  Still fat.  Yep, used the f-word.  Not feeling too good about myself right now, but we'll get to that later. I was promoted & received a raise at work.  Yay!  In addition to my new responsibilities I have become the ultimate breadwinner in the household, which is fine ... http://infjoy.buddyslim.com/2009/10/10/hiatus/ Ok, so I'm prolly pms-ing, but I've got a whole day of chasing my rugrat around @ my sister's pool party before he goes back to school tomorrow, and I just simply did NOT want to go to the gym this morning.  I went Sunday, Tuesday & Thursday of last ... http://infjoy.buddyslim.com/2009/08/23/the-wrong-kind-of-support/ WARNING- BRA STORY :P - Yesterday I went to Victoria's Secret, finally fed up with department store bras & their inability to fit properly.  Finally got measured & realized I have been wearing the WRONG size for YEARS.  Should have been in a 36C rather than the 34B I've been ... http://infjoy.buddyslim.com/2009/08/16/comfort-support/
