Morning, WL!!!

The minute-to-minute change is because you''re standing differently or you''ve dislodged your scale from the previous position.

Do you ever weigh yourself in the morning and you see one weight. Weigh yourself again a few min later (to make sure

) and it''s 2-3 pounds different (usually lighter)?

This happens to me all the time and it''s getting hard to tell which weight Im truly at!

Haha, I''ve done that...but i''ts more like 30 seconds later and about 0.2-0.4 lbs off. Do you by any chance potty between weighs??? That will TOTALLY change the number...

I thought so too...but I always weigh myself after my morning pee. It literally fluctuated 3 pounds! Weighed myself, saw that I had jumped 3lbs from yesterday so I got right back on. Same weight. So I was bummmed, naturally. Then I waited 5 minutes (no visits to the bathroom, hair wasn''t wet or anything) and *poof* I magically dropped 3 lbs! My scale is newer and this is happening a lot! It''s so bizarre.

S**T you''re right! LOL, I don''t think IB is based on a true story!

Definitely not true story but the story is good nonetheless. See it if you haven''t already.

I was thinking that too. I brought the scale to the kitchen, where we have tile not hardwood, and it was back to normal (or at least what I hope is my real weight). Double, triple checked and it remained the same.

That''s good! I''m paying a hell of a lot more than 29/mo. All the gyms around here are old and cheap or new and expensive. I skeve old, smelly gyms though.

What about the 4th and Wash structure? Though I guess it is a few blocks away and cold.

I like it already. I''m a big fan of the dual flip and I haven''t even sent a text message yet!

VC are you planning on moving back to MI? What made you leave?

Probably won''t ever move back to Michigan. I left for my job. The USPTO only has one office. It''s out here in the DC Metro Area (Alexandria, VA to be exact). I can work from home full time if I want, and in theory could move back to Michigan, but my family isn''t there any more and it''s not much more convenient to A''s family, either. If we were to move away from the DC Metro Area, we''d also have to move back when I want to be a supervisor (5 years or so) so we''re pretty much stuck here. I don''t mind, though. I like it here, and make it back to Michigan at least once a year for football.

 

[Lauren8211]

Sadly, there is no reason to EVER move back to Michigan.

It''s such a damn shame because it has such potential.

 

[Hudson_Hawk]

What''s the USPTO?

I love love LOVE Alexandria! My dad was stationed at Ft. Belvoir and lived in Woodbridge, VA for most of my childhood.

United States Patent and Trademark Office.

Alexandria = amazing. We live about half way between Old Town and Ft. Belvoir off Rte. 1.

Oh I know right where that is! I used to work for a company in the same area (near the King St. Metro).

Sunny - I love that you are so comfortable w/ us you just rocked those knee high socks like it was your job! Do work! What size are you? It''s NOT petite right? I''m contemplating what sizes to get. My MOH is probably about 5''3'' my first BM (not bowel movement) is 5''2'' and my other is about 4''11'' (she''s 12).

Morning sexies!

Yeah well, it was cold!

I didn''t wanna take em off. This is a size 6, not petite, I''m 5''4". So probably petite would be good for your Bowel Movements.

Morning ladies. Thanks for liking the dress. Haha...
