WW Clubs and Groups - Thursday Chatters

It's a great day----the sun is shining and the temp is below 90 degrees!
I hope everyone is doing well. Remember, this is a lifetime commitment we've made. We can't let it go for a week without doing some dammage to our system.

This group has been a little quiet. I hope we'll start talking more.
If anyone has any great recipes they could share, I'd appreciate it. I've decided to get back to cooking more often and need some inspiration. :)

Hey gang! Sorry I've been missing. Our old computer has croaked and we finally got a new one on Sunday. I can actually read what is on the screen now!

We got a Chevy Venture van a couple weeks ago. I've always wanted a van. I'm driving it, and Bob has my car. Actually, Tim is doing most of the driving. He got his driving permit on the 13th. He's doing great.

This week is a busy one. Homecoming! The parade is Thursday, the game is Friday, and the dance is Saturday. Tim is going to the dance with a girl he knows from band. She is a sweetie. They'll have fun. They are going with 2 other couples.

Hi Friends,

It has been very quiet around here. I miss you guys!!!!

Tammy, glad things are back to normal for you. I'm glad that Tim is going with a sweetie to the dance. Our homecoming is next week. Our other highschool is having their Forthcoming this week. (They are having their first graduating class.)

Tina, I'm doing more cooking myself. I love the idea of posting recipes. I've rededicated myself to the program. I'm getting it off. I want to have 20-25 pounds off by Thanksgiving. I'm a slow loser so I have to not beat myself up with a slower lose.

Everyone post!! We miss you guys!

Susan, I am a slow loser also. The band is going to Disney World the end of February. I would like to have 20 pounds off by then. I know that it can be done, I just need to DO IT!

I had my glucose level checked on Saturday and it was 117. The past 2 times that I've had it done, it was 122 and 115. I am consistent! I know my doctor wants it to be below 100. I went to a nutritionist this summer. I know what I need to do, but once again I just need to do it.

Glad to be back on-line!!!!!

Anyone hear yesterday about the woman who fell unconcious on "The Incredible Hulk" ride in Orlando theme park

Hi friends,

Tammy, I've missed ya! Glad you got your computer up and running (actually a new one) I always worry about my glucose level since my dad is diabetic. I hope yours goes down. I do know that Daddy has to watch is carb intake. Those are my favorite... I could live on carbs alone.

Annex, I didn't hear anything about the woman that fell. That's horrible.

Tina, how are you doing? Are you coming up for the State Fair? I love going and Pat has been once and that is enough for him. I would go all the time if I could.

Hope everyone is having a great week.

It's Friday!

Hi, how are we doing today?
Susan, I've never been to the State Fair. I think my husband has gone.

I feel fat today. Don't you just hate days like that. So, this is my Fat Friday . Wonder what I can do???

Tammy, what kind of computer did y'all buy? What Microsoft package is on it----Office, Xp, etc.????

Sheree--do you still read the posts? Maureen, are you buried under work? If so, come up girl and post!

Sis, It is so great that you re-joined WW. That and your gym at home should get you to your 100 lb. certificate in NO TIME.

Okay, I'm going to get off here and go walk a miile on the treadmill. I don't think I can walk a full 30 min. today.
Tina
:flow1:

We have a Compaq computer. The screen is huge compared to our old one. AND I can read everything!! lol

I think we have XP. lol Not very knowledgeable, am I?

Tonight was our homecoming game. It started lightning, so they had to postpone the game for 30 minutes. Then it started raining. I came home. Much nicer here. Tim is still there. Hopefully someone will give him a ride home after the game.

Tomorrow night is the dance. He's looking forward to it. There are a few couples meeting at Jessica's house, then they are going out to eat, then back to town for the dance, then to another girl's house to watch movies afterwards. They'll have a good time.
My baby is growing up!!!!!

Hi,

I just got home from the other high school's forthcoming came. I met a couple of my buddies for dinner, the game and then to have a few drinks. I am so wiped out. I'm ready for bed. Our homecoming is next week. I think I'll be driving a car in the parade, then the game, and possibily the dance afterwards. Actually I'll most like be at home by that time.

It's been a busy week at school. Even though I've been busy, I still love my job. I saw someone I knew tonight and she said, "it's very obvious that you love your job, it shows on your face.... you look like the old Susan" So I guess all of the stress last year was showing on me.

Tina, come up to the fair.... we would have a blast.

Tammy, I bet it's hard watching you baby grow up.

I think I'm going to skip weigh in next week. I've been so bad this week and it's a fat week. It's the dreaded week before and I feel like the good year blimp. :) I'm miserable.

Well, off to bed, I'm typing with 1 eye opened at this time.

Until tomorrow!!!! Sleep good!!

Greetings,
We have a new computer, too, Tammy. :)
We got a Compaq Presario that does lots more than the old one and has XP.
And, we got a flat screen monitor. It's soooooo BIG that it's going to take some time getting used to.

Susan, I don't think I'll be coming to the fair this year. We go back up to Abilene on Friday and conduct an Estate Sale on Saturday. Why don't you come on down and help me!

Sis, how are you doing with your Flex Points?

Tammy, how was the dance? I'm sure Tim had a great time.

Tina
:flow1:

Hi friends,

Tina, I wish I could come help. I just found out that we are going to Austin for my in-laws anniversary. Pat didnt' get all the details so I have know idea of the dress etc,,,

How is everyone doing on the Flex Points? I'm down 10.4. I love the new plan. I know it's basically the same but it's working this time.

Tammy, how is everything going? This week is our homecoming at my highschool.

I've been sick all weekend. Didn't get off the couch except to take a shower and come back to the couch. I still don't feel wonderful today, but better. I'm not feeling to great tonight. Blah Blah Blah.. :)

Well off to bed, but wanted to check in for the evening.

It's so cool this morning!
It was 58 when I got up and is now all the way up to 62! :) I can't believe this. You see, in Texas, we don't have a Fall. It stays hot until Halloween and then cools off. Then , our cold weather, high 30's, doesn't get into full swing until February.
Now, I must admit what I said is for the southern part of the state. Susan gets snow!

Everyone have a great day. I'm hoping for a good weigh-in this week. How about y'all!
Tina

Hi all. I think I like the flex point system. I have been trying SO hard to stay at my target this week. I think I've done pretty well. Thursday WI will tell. :) Last week said I was up 3 but I hope to be down that and a little more this week. I'm going to keep my fingers crossed. :D
It's been really cool here (middle MI) too Tina. I think our Fall has fell. :D I'm ready for Fall though. It is my favorite season. Plus my anniversary comes then too. (Nov) I always look forward to my hubby and I going away for a couple days.
Hope everyone has a great week.....Sis :D

Howdy,
It was great this morning. I EVEN wore a light jacket this morning. It was 55 this morning. Of course it warmed up by 10 am. :) Yes, us Texans don't see fall we have 2 seasons..... SUMMER & WINTER ( and it ain't much of a winter) Our cold is just like Tina said, and our cold days are surrounded by much higher temp. days. I hope it sticks around for a while.

I'm trying really hard this week since I don't think I did too hot last week. I used all of my flex points so I didn't want to weigh in. I might have even been over. I'm really watching it.

Hope everyone has a great day!!

The kids had a great time at the dance Saturday night. I think they are planning to go out again sometime.

It is cool here too. We brought my hanging plants in because we are supposed to have a frost tonight! Only 28 degrees predicted!!! I have recess duty tomorrow so I'll definitely be wearing a jacket!! (long undies??)

I've been journaling again (finally!) Maybe that will help me again.

Oh my gosh!!! 28 degrees tonight. That is a Feb. temp for about 1 night. I can't believe it is that cold already!!! I'd freeze to death. :)

Susan

Brrrr......
I'm with Susan, it's so hard to believe that anyone has weather that cold.
Tammy, you need some electric socks for the morning. :)

Have y'all read the note from Suzanne? It's at the top of our forum. They are going to cut the number of forums to 3 . It seems not many are posting on WW forums right now.
It won't affect our two threads. They'll just be in a different forum.

Tina

Thanks for the info Tina. I would hate to lose you guys... Do you know when it is happing?

Susan, I don't know, I just wrote a note to Suzanne asking her. And, did you know that there were "private forums"?????
I didn't know that.
Makes me feel "out of touch." :lol:
Tina

I checked down in another forum and she wrote that our Thursday Chatter and weighin were the ones that were used the most. That's a good thing.

Did Y'all miss me!
We just got back from Abilene where we had an Estate Sale for my father-in-law's house. We sold lots of stuff. We took some of what was left to the Goodwill. There is some furniture left that someone will have to come pick up.

It was sprinkling on the way home. Then , we ran into some heavy downpours. I was driving. I could barely see a foot in front of the car. It was really scarey. I pulled over and my dear husband took the wheel for me.

I did good eating while away. I'll take tomorrow off from exercising because I got enought on Saturday. :)

Hope everyone had a great weekend. what did everyone do?
Tina
:flow1:

HI Tin a,
It looks like its me and you. I'm so glad that y'all got a lot done. I know that is a big relief! I hate to drive when it is raining hard. It scares me too.

We flew to SA yesterday and back this morining. It was Pat's mom and dad's 50th anniversary dinner. So it was a very fast trip.

I feel like I haven't been good this week. I don't think I was too bad. I'll have to wait to weigh in either Tues or Wed. I'm taking a spanish course that the district is offering.

Hey you guys!! I don't like being so busy that I can't take time to get on here to at least say hello. It's almost 10, and I'm ready to go to bed. Tim is laying on the couch with a bucket beside him. Hope I don't get whatever he has. I feel like I'm getting a cold, and I know I have a slight fever tonight. Ugh. I probably need chocolate, don't you think?????

Tammy,
I think the PERFECT fix would be chocolate. I hope Mr. Tim gets to feeling better. There is nothing worse that that. You better not be getting sick either!!! That is the last thing you need, Girl!! Take care!! How is Bob doing?

Tammy, you take good care of yourself And Tim And Bob.

Hi everyone!!!!!

Tammy, how are you feeling, girl? I hope you didn't come down with whatever Tim had. How is Bob doing? When does he go back to work? Does he have to take some kind of physical therapy.

well, friends, I was in a car accident yesterday. It was minor, don't worry. I was pulling out into the street---no cars coming except for a bus that was stopping to let people on. This truck comes out of now where and hits my left front bumper, messing it up and the headlight area. Now, he was not going any 35 mph, I'm sure. I was soooooo nervous the rest of the day. Does that sound familiar, Tammy!
Now that's a bad way of losing one's appetite.
I'm fine today. My poor little Neon will be in the shop until next Friday. I have to drive Larry's standard transmission truck until then. Yuck! At least I'm not stuck at home.

Did anyone else have an exciting day yesterday? :lol: :dizzy:
Tina

Bummer Tina! I'm glad it was minor though and you weren't hurt. It's nice that you have another vehicle to use so you're not stranded at home. :) Take care and have a better week end! :) ...Sis

Tina,
I'm sorry about your car. But SOOOOOOO glad you weren't hurt! I know it's a pain dealing with everything.

Life in Big McKinney is the same ole same ole!!! Allergies have hit me hard this week. I actually think I have a sinus infection but am going to try and wait it out. I get them so often that if I don't have to take antibiotics I don't. I have a hard time finding some that work now. Guess this is what I get for taking myself off of shots. Guess what I'll be going back on very soon.

Ya'll have a great one!

Tina, I am so glad that you weren't hurt!! your accident does sound very familiar!! Bob is still not back to work. He goes to a specialist on Tuesday about his knee. It is still bothering him, and our family doctor thinks he may have to have surgery. Bob said that it feels so much better than it did 2 weeks ago, he'd like to skip the surgery if the specialist agrees. He is READY to get back to work even if it is at Wal-Mart!!

He has gone in to the store a few times and talked to the managers. They have really noticed things that aren't getting done since Bob isn't there. I don't think they are happy with the people that are covering for him while he is off.

Tim is much better, and Bob & I neither one caught what he had. This cold or sinus thing is getting me down. My voice has been awful this week. It comes and goes. You should hear my class giggling when it goes!!! lol

Tim and Jessica and another couple left about 4. They were going to go get pizza, go to the park (it was in the 80's here today), and then they were going bowling. I know they'll have a great time. Good kids.

Did you ever wonder how many times you gain and lose the same couple of pounds????? I think I've lost and gained the same couple a zillion times at least!!

Hope you are all having a good weekend!!

Tammy,

I've wondered the same thing. If it was a new pound each time, I would only weigh about 10 pounds.

I hope Tim and Jessica have fun. Yes they are good kids. It is a reflect of you and Bob.

Take care

Hi everyone,
Tammy, I'm sorry Bob is still having some problems. Hopefully, he won't need any surgery. It's a good thing that Wal-Mart realizes they can't do without him. It sounds like Tim is at that stage where he's going to have a great time.

Susan, How is your dog bite? Did it heal up okay? How are your parents doing? Is your mother okay? My mother has come down with congestion and fever.
I was told that it was going around the Assisted Living home. Those people don't realize they need to cover their mouths or they don't think about washing hands. I've been going over there giving Mother Tylenol and Robitussin. You see, the nurses can't give the residents anything that hasn't been okayed in writing by a doctor. I guess that's good. But, I'm getting tired of running back and forth.
Monday, I'll call the dr. office and get them to fax an order to give Tylenol.

About weight----I'd planned by now to have lost another 5 pounds. It just hasn't come off. And, I haven't been trying hard enough. :(

Everyone have a good Sunday.

Hi Tina,

My dog bite is much better. Actually, everything is healed with the exception of 2 little knots on my wrist. I think it's just going to take some time for that.

Mom is doing great. She went to the dr. with my dad. The dr. suggested that mom get a flu shot this year since she has had a hard year.

I don't blame you about calling the dr. You would think that your mom could have tylenol with out an order for it. Hope she gets to feeling better.

I've been down with the allergy crud. I guess I should have never played dr. and taken myself off of allergy shots. Now I'm paying for it. I know I have a sinus infection. Running fever, etc.... have been on the couch ALL day. I only got sicker after watching the UT vs. OU game. It was horrible!!!! Ou won 65-13.

I'm right there with you Tina. I need to get a little serious and get 5 more pounds off.

We are getting l o n g so I'm starting us new thread.
