WW Clubs and Groups - Thursday Chatters

Good Monday Morning---again!
Hi, I thought we'd better start a new thread since we were on 3 pages.

Today is my husband's birthday. So in honor of this (:)), I'm cleaning both bathroom and the kitchen floors.

Hope everyone has a great OP day!

Hi,

Happy Birthday to Tina's husband!!!! Tina, will you come do all that for my birthday? :) Thanks for starting the new thread!!

Ok, I'm starting over today. I weighed in and it wasn't pretty :( I was up 4 pounds. Do you think it had anything to do with all my eating last week and the Jr. Mints that I ate yesterday. I forgot that I was watching what I ate. :) So, now I'm going to be very very careful!

Hope you all have a great day! Now off to do some chores and drink all of my water!! :dizzy: What a combination.

Susan

Tina, our anniversary is tomorrow. I have floors that need cleaned, my car needs washed, and there are some weeds in the flowers. Please get on the next flight to help me out!!! lol

Happy birthday to your hubby.

I can't believe that I have stayed OP and journaled every day since I restarted on June 9. All of a sudden I am motivated. Weird! (but good)

I have been choosing water as my drink of choice instead of all of the pop. Shocking my family!

I did have Real Pepsi yesterday for the first time in a week or more. Tasted good, and I drank it very slowly so the bottle would last longer. Easier to do than with a can cause I kept putting the lid back on.

Hi,

Happy Anniversary Tammy!!! :D How many years? Are ya'll doing anything special? Congratulations for being motivated and staying on track. Will you give me a rah rah session?

Tina, Girl you are in High Demands!!! :lol: :lol:

I did pretty well yesterday! Today is going to be even better. I can feel it!

Have a great day!!!
Susan

Good Day!

Tammy---Happy Anniversary to you & Bob!
I'll be on the next plane up today. Leave the key under the mat if you're out. :dizzy: I hope you have a great day!
And, I add my congrats at your being OP and journaling.
You give me hope.

Susan--did you get all your water drunk yesterday? You go girl!

I need help----a push would be good. :)
All the fat has gone to my tummy and hips (& thighs). I feel like a blob today. Okay, okay, okay, I'm going now to get on my exercycle.

Where is everyone else????? C'mon group----post!!!!

Tina

Tina,

I think I got in all my water. Today, I met a friend for lunch! I had the cobb salad at Mimi's cafe with the dressing on the side. It was good, I really wanted one of the sandwiches but restrained myself.

We need to give each other a push!!! Maybe Tammy needs to be pushing us!!! :lol:

Susan

We will be married 21 years! I'm surprised we've put up with each other that long! LOL

Since we'll be gone on vacation starting Sat., we are just grilling burgers for supper tomorrow. Decided to go out while we're on the trip. I did bring in the suitcases from the closet in the garage today. I guess I need to get started sometime. I went through my make-up bag and it is ready!! That's always the first thing I pack. lol

I have no idea where my new found motivation is coming from. I didn't get a walk in today, but I stayed in my points range again and had plenty of water.

I do know that I need to quit stepping on the scales every morning! I know I shouldn't do it, so why do I? I just can't seem to wait a week! Anyone else do the same thing?

Let's do it ladies!!

Grilled hamburgers sound very good! That's a great idea, Tammy, waiting till you're on vacation to go somewhere special to eat.
That's interesting---my make-up bag is the last thing I pack. I wait until that morning to do it, too.
Talking about those scales-----silly me, I put them back in the bathroom and I step on them each morning. It's so depressing that I should put them back in the other room.

Okay, Susan, I'll push you if you do the same for me. :)

Sis, how is your mother doing?

Dee-- did you ever come back from your trip? ;)
Kady-- How are your garden plans coming?

Tina

Good Evening,

Tammy, You are doing great!!! I step on the scale everyday myself!! It's an obsession!! I just can't stop either. I think that it's pretty normal. I quess:?:

Tina, Let's do it!! We can do this!!! I liked your message to Dee!

Where is everyone? I sure hope they have good stories to tell!!!

Susan

Happy Wednesday all!
Happy Anniversary to you Tammy (I guess there's no happy anniv. song out there for us to sing to you. :( Hope your grilled hamburgers are good.

Well, I am having one big bad day, already. I'm so hungry. Maybe it's because I planned on eating almost nothin' today. :D
My stomach seems so out of shape right now that I thought, hey why not eat nothing today!!! Not a good idea because I'm now sooo hungry that I ate lunch at 11:00 a.m.
I fixed a slice of r.c. bread with a tad of peanut butter and apricot jam. I washed it down with a diet Cherry Coke. [That's something I told myself I wouldn't have today---diet colas.] Am I a mess or what!

Calgon, Take Me Away (somewhere where there's no food, would be nice).

Anyone want to talk?

Tina

Happy Wednesday to you!!!

Tina, you need to eat something. Don't starve yourself!! It will only make you hungrier. I hope this makes you feel better......I had lunch at 10:30 :lol: Hang in there, you can do it!!

Happy Anniversary Tammy!! We can always make up a song for the occassion!! :lol:

I didn't weigh in today, she had to cancel on me! I was a little curious to see how I did.

Susan

T.G.I.F.

So how is everyone doing today?????

Tammy, how was your anniversary supper?
Now, when do y'all take off on your vacation?

Susan, just a few more days until your birthday:)

One of our newer members, Karen , has a birthday next week, also.

I'm on my way out the door to walk. It's only 8:00 a.m. but it's muggy hot. We're expecting more rain anytime now. I'd better get to it. I have a renewed spirit today. Exercise---exercise---exercise.

Tina

Our burgers were great the other night! In fact, I did extras and we are finishing them off tonight.

We leave for Michigan tomorrow afternoon when Bob gets off work. I have a few things packed, but need to finish up sometime. lol

I've been doing laundry all day. That way we can take clean clothes!!

If I don't get a chance to log on tomorrow, I'll talk to you when we return next week. We should be home Thursday evening.

Have a great weekend!

Tammy, have a great trip!

Hi Everyone!

Tammy, have a wonderful time!!! Ya'll be careful!!

Tina, did you get that walk in?

As for me, I have killer cramps! I went and weighed in and lost 2 1/2 pounds. This is part of the 4 that I had gained. Only to go to Quinzo's to grab a sandwich.

I'm counting the days until Tuesday! Pat asked me last night "are you going to get all weird on me turning 40?" I just laughed and said "no weirder than normal!" He got a good chuckle.

Off to the couch and drink some water.
Have a great weekend!
Susan

Me again!

Susan, congratulations on that loss! And, what sandwich do you like at Quiznos? I love the veggie, even with the guacomole.

I did walk this morning.,,,for 40 minutes even! :)
I still have a few glasses of water to go but will make it. So far, I've only used half my points and am planning on the 0 pt. veggie soup as my main course tonight.

Have a great weekend ---- everyone!

Tina

Howdy,

I'm sure Tammy is on the road. Have a blast!!!!! You derserve it!! :)

Tina, Good job walking!!! THat must have felt good completing that? You are off to a great start.

My favorite sandwich from Quizno's is the Classic Italian. Not exactlly low cal. I've never tried their veggie on, so that will be on my list for the next time I go. We ended up having pizza for dinner. I had 2 small slices and a salad, so today...... back at it!!!!

I want to lose 10-12 pounds in the next 6 weeks. So I have to really stick with it!!! Keep after me about exercising and drinking the water!! please! ;)

Have a wonderful Saturday! I'm going to get on the bike before I hope in the shower. :strong: Here to an OP day!

Susan

Greetings to everyone this fine Saturday. Well, I hope it's a fine day in Canada. How is it, Kady???

An announcement from Suzzanne---
I just read that the forum will be closed later tonight until tomorrow morning---for maintenance.
Now, I don't think any or us post during the night, but just wanted to make sure we all knew what was going to happen.

Okay, Susan, Get on that bike and ride you little heart out.:lol: What kind of pizza did you have last night? Was it homemade? That's the best kind. I used to make those all the time when our son was still home.

Dee, We are still anxious to hear about your trip.

Sis, Did you get a neat birthday present you can tell us about?

Where is everyone else????? Please post here----NOW!!!!!

I'm off to ride my exercise bike now. It is way too hot outdoors to walk. My husband has just gone out to mow. Hope he doesn't melt.

Take care all.
Tina
Present goal---lose 5 pound in a week!

Let see... I guess I'm one that posts in the middle of the night :) cause it's like 1am here..and I'm up posting..LOL

Ok I made it back from my vacation...it was fun. Spent way too much money...mostly on the kid. She loved the rides at the Mall, I don't do the rides, but that was ok, there were 3 others to ride with her. She really loved the bumber cars, since she got to drive her own! Twice! All in all, it was a good trip. We got lost once coming from the Mall to our hotel... that was on Sun. On Mon we took the shuttle bus...all the hotels around the area have mini vans that shuttle their guests to and from the Mall...that way we didnt have to deal with driving in traffic. Did the hot tub thing at the hotel one night... kids swam!

And can you believe I didnt gaing any weight while on vacation, didnt loose any either...but some year I might.

Sounds like everyone has been doing good this summer. Way to go Tammy on your losses!! You're doing great...

Dee

Howdy All,

Welcome back Dee, sounds like you had a great trip!!! I can't imagine going there and NOt spending money!! Sounds like your daughter had a blast!! I'm not a roller coaster person either... water rides and merry go rounds are my speed. :)

Tina, did you ride your bike today?

I got in there and rode 30 minutes. I would go real fast for about 30 seconds and then slower the next minute. I feel great now! I put on my little radio and rode away. I found a good station that played music I liked. I'm motivated today. Yesterday, was a little harder of a day. My folks sent my birthday present, a James Avery charm bracelet w/ all Texas charms. (my idea) and my Daddy sent me cotton candy. He bought it for me on EVERY birthday as a kid! He even signed it.... which makes it special. As you can tell, my Dad walks on water in my eyes!!!!:) Just ask my husband!! :lol:

Ok, enough of that!!! Off to take a shower!!

Susan

Happy Sunday!

I'm sure Tammy is having a great time on her vacation!

Dee ---Welcome Home
It sounds like you and your daughter had a blast. You were smart to take that shuttle to the mall.
Congratulations on not gaining anything. That's great!

Susan --No, I haven't ridden my bike today. Sunday is my day of rest.
I'm happy to say that my scales showed a 1.5 loss this morning. I've worked really hard for 2 days now. I've stayed at the low end of my points and exercised 40 min. on Fri. and 35 min. yesterday. I hope I can keep this up. I would love to lose 5 pounds by Friday. I know that's asking a lot but I have lots of water retention to get rid of. :)

Everyone take care. Enjoy the rest of the weekend.

Tina

Happy Birthday to Susan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We all hope you have a fantastic day of doing Just what you want.
It's nice to have "your day."

Hope everyone stays OP. I'm going to the beach with my sister and mother. My sister takes her every once in awhile. They just drive around and then eat. I shall be good if it kills me.:s:

Tina

Thanks Tina!!! I can't believe I'm now 40!!!

Well, Pat is going to have sugery on his neck on Monday. He is going to be out of commission for several weeks / months. He can't deceided which one to have, he has 2 options. One is more involved than the other. I think he REALLY needs the more involved surgery. He has to tell the dr. today.

It would be a great present if he was well now!!

TIna, Have fun at the beach!! Eat some seafood for me!!

One of my friends is taking me out to lunch... Pat and I went out on Sunday evening for an early birthday. Yesterday, I ate like it was my last supper!! :( So I should be a little careful today!

Susan

It's Thursday Already!!!!

Susan, what did Pat give you for your birthday? I bet you had a nice day.

It's been raining here every day this week. Thr ground is nice and wet so it can stop now. We don't need any more!

I'm going out of town tomorrow afternoon and will return Saturday night. We'd stay all weekend but my sister is also going to be gone. (One of us always takes our mother to church. )
We're going to my best friend's house. We'll have a blast. We'll celebrate both our birthdays. (Hers is today.)

Have a great day and weigh in if you can. :D

Tina

Hi,

Had a great birthday! My friend Scott and his son took me out for Mexican food and ice cream. Then I picked up dinner that evening since Pat isn't feeling great. We went to dinner on Sunday late afternoon to celebrate. My present is going to wait until he recovers from his surgery. I think I'm getting a new laptop! I've had more friends take me to lunch this week and get me dessert. I 'm afraid to step on the scale!!

He goes into surgery Monday at 7:30 am. Has to be at the hospital at 6 am. He will not be able to drive for 8-9 weeks. Will have to wear his neck brace the entire time. His post op instructions say he can only walk, at the end of 2 weeks he should be walking a mile only!! I just want him to get better. However, he is not a good patient..... let's just say he is already grumpy... hate to see what it is like when he is at home for all that time.

TIna, have a great trip.

Susan :dizzy:

Susan, are they going to fix a disc in Pat's back? Will he be able to work from home? That sounds scarey. I hope it all goes well.....for him and you!

They are going in to clean out the disks and the fuse 2 of them together. It's not going to be fun. I'm picking up his meds today and pick up the bandages and all. I'm a little worried, but just want him to feel better. Thanks for asking.... So if my posts are a little weird, you'll know why. ;)

Susan

Susan,
That doesn't sound like fun. I hope all goes well. Be sure and let us know who it goes on Monday.

Susan, prayers for Pat AND you. It's going to be a tough time, but you are tough too. You can do this for him, even if he's grumpy. Been there, done that when Bob had his surgery. Also, happy birthday a little late!! Hope it was great.

Dee, I'm not a big ride person either. Glad you had fun.

Tina, how was the beach? It's always nice to get away.

As you can see, I'm home from Michigan. It was nice. Loads of walking, lots of water to drink, splurged a little at meals and on ice cream and wine (not together!!). Weighed this morning even though I said that I wasn't going to. WEIGHT IS THE SAME!!!!! I was thrilled considering all that I ate while we were gone.

Heading out to meet my walking buddies in a little bit.

Tammy

Good Friday Morning,

Tammy----welcome back! I missed you. Isn't it fun getting away!
I'm glad you had such a good time. And, congrats on weighing the same this morning. You must have gotten a lot of walking in.
Did you bring home any souvenirs?

The beach was great! My mother enjoyed herself --- that's why we went. It was rainy and that kept it cooler.

Talking about rain, we're in for it all weekend. I'm leaving town this afternoon and will be back tomorrow night. Getting away to see friends will be nice. They both watch their fat intake. It shouldn't be a problem staying OP.

Tina

HI all,

I weighed in today and had gained 1 1/2 pounds. I guess that's not bad since I have had lunch out and dessert all week for my birthday. Now it's over and back to work on it.

Tammy, glad you had a good time on vacation. No gain is wonderful :D I don't have a problem doing anything for Pat!!! He has been grumpy for a while and that I can deal with. I'm looking forward to his recovery so he can get to feeling better.

Tina, have fun! Glad the beach was nice!!

Have a great weekend.

Susan

Good evening,
I'm just now back from our trip. It was a nice getaway. Our friends did everything possible to make it enjoyable.
I ate reasonably last night and all day until tonight. We made a large cake to celebrate our birthdays and I had a huge piece (not to mention the piece of strawberry cream pie last night). Tomorrow afternoon I will start back exercising and drinking water.

Sis, I'm sorry you are under so much stress. Maybe you can exercise and that will get your mind off of things.

Susan, what time is Pat's surgery?

Tammy, it sounds like you are really into exercising. That's great.

I'm off the the showers! Everyone have a great OP Sunday.

Tina

Hi All,

One of our newer members, Karen , had a birthday on Thursday!!!

Happy Birthday to you, Karen!!!!!

Hi,
Happy Birthday day Karen!!!

Tina, Pat's surgery is at 7:30 am tomorrow morning. We have to be at the hospital at 5:30 (boo) I'll try and write tomorrow evening.
Have a great Sunday!!
Susan

Susan, all of us are praying that Pat's surgery is successful.
Do let us know about it, when you can.

This thread is getting soooooo long that I'm going to start a new one right now!
