this week January 26, 2008
My modem went down and I had to wait for the new one to arrive. I missed all of you and couldn’t wait for a few quiet hours to catch up!
I weighed in on Wednesday. I was UP 1 pound. But I did not let that deter me. I will make up for it at this week’s weigh in. I didn’t eat badly, I just didn’t pay as close attention to my points. I like to log things on the computer and not having it was a bummer. So far, this week has gone well and I am looking forward to my weigh in. I think I may hit my 20 pound mark. If not 20 pounds, pretty darn close.
I have a friend who is on WW and can’t seem to lose weight. I went out after work with her last night and saw why. Or at least in my opinion why. She drank 3 beers and had no food. I drank diet soda and had soup. I didn’t eat the noodles in the soup so when I was finished all that was left was shell pasta in the bottom of the bowl. I am student teaching in her room and it helps that we are both doing WW as we eat lunch together. But she gets frustrated that I eat soup almost everyday. But the fact of the matter is this - I LOVE soup when it is cold and rainy outside. It is a major source of comfort for me and thank goodness I love the broth based kind. I can eat Campbells Vegetable Beef soup everyday. This has been my favorite since I was a little girl. I can’t help it, I am a cheap date! I am trying to mix my lunches up a little bit for her benefit - isn’t that funny? Yesterday I took a Lean Cuisine. Those work for me too.
I am glad to be back and happy to see that my friends are here and doing well. Have a glorious weekend!
Hugs, Bobbie
congrats Ms. Bobbie
Wow - 16.5 - that’s pretty awesome - you and Ms. Islandgirl will be down to stick figures in NO TIME! RIGHT ON!
Inspiring and we all really need that

I love soup too. It is comfort food for me. And the progesso 100 calorie soups are 0 points. And the 99% fat free ones are only 2 points. And I love the beef barley ones.
I love soup too. I make most of mine from scratch, but it’s so comforting and warm and filling… Yum.
I’m starting to make my own too. It’s been a real treat being that most days are in the single digits here. I’m cold! Funny how *she* can’t see that 3 beers is hindering her weightloss. She needs to discover it herself. Nice to have a buddy but I’m not sure she’s going to help you

Welcome back…I was beginning to worry!! I love soup too and I have lost weight on soup before so I know it works.
Keep it up and that 20 pound milestone is already yours!!!
Hugs,

I’ve been eating a lot of soup lately, too, although I try to make it myself because the canned kinds often have a lot of sodium in them. But they’re filling, easy, and a great way to get in your veggies!
