Update of BBL Leader

Mon, 1 Aug 2011 22:09:31 EST

I contacted the Spark powers that be and asked them to remove me as leader of the Brazil Butt Lift Team. Around the same time that I received an email from them saying that they had removed me as the leader, I got another email from someone on the team asking everyone how they were doing with the BBL Workout and what their results were. I got on the team and found out that she was the new leader. She's been a Spark member for 5 days, doesn't do the BBL Workout according to her Spark page a...

Bowing out as BBL Leader......

Thu, 14 Jul 2011 22:01:59 EST

I wanted to let you all know that I just sent out a posting to the BBL Spark Team that I'm bowing out as leader eff 8/1. It's a really frustrating team.....too quiet for me!! I get no responses except from 1 or 2 people out of 160 some members. I need a team that's fun and exciting. I'm still loyal to Leandro.....you know I'll never give him up but now the leader position is up for grabs. Maybe the gal who was so bitchy to me when I took over the team can have her big chance now!!

What shall we do for August?...what, what, what. Hmmm? Should we try a water challenge since August is usually a pretty warm month? Most of us are tracking our water anyway so maybe we can add some points or something. Like 10 points for the suggested 8 glasses & 5 points for every 4 glasses over & above that. You can do the two birds/one stone thing & also join the Team *water* Goal, if you haven't already.

How do you bring the sexy on?

Sun, 17 May 2009 17:27:10 EST

There's always something that makes us feel sexy or even a little naughty! 18 What does it for you?

What I term as 'Fanny' panties are always a favorite in my house. They accent my good feature (the booty) while distracting from the bad (the jelly-belly) which always makes me feel better about myself & sexier!

What do they call you & yours?

Sun, 17 May 2009 17:23:52 EST

Are you 'grandma & grandpa'?
As for us...I'm 'Maama' & Shayne is 'Papa'

What do your grandchildren call you? 38

Do you play favorites?

Sun, 17 May 2009 17:18:02 EST

OK, this is something I haven't had to deal with up to this point because I have an only child but...
YES! I do play favorites. 2 I'm really bad with my grandson. I can only presume it's because I never had any boys. I really try to watch myself. How about you?
