Happy Saturday (or Sunday)!
I am still not getting everything right with this but want to keep in touch so at least I can send short messages.
Welcome Ann - this is a great group of women. I am in the midst of reading the first Left Behind book and really enjoying it. I guess I have some catching up to do.
At WI I stayed the same this week.

hahaha Man I can't keep up with y'all...I had the entire message written out (below) and when it went back to the page, that's when I noticed the little message of "we're on 104 now" so I highlighted the message so I wouldn't have to write it again....then I clicked delete this and POOF...the entire page disappeared! hahaha I quit!!!
Lizziepie Here's the address to a slew of low-fat recipes
http://www.floras-hideout.com/recipes/mxp/lowfat/index.html
Trudy that bread sounds wonderful...Would you share the recipe with me? I have a bread maker but don't use it cause I don't have many recipes with it and I had heard to stay away from bread...so I did. It's that or go to the heavy wheat bread which I'm not crazy about
My hubby got me a zip drive for my birthday and was so pleased with himself he couldn't wait till Monday to give it to me....hahaha gotta love the guy!
So then my youngest (13) daughter gave me her present which was a teenie bear that said "I Love You" I wonder when my kids will quit buying me "TOYS"!... I can always count on one of them getting me a beanie baby or something I can't use ....but what can ya do?
My scale is a week old today and I've been 'scared to step on it hahaha...
Who is the fly lady you have mentioned?
I hope those of you who had trouble were able to get to the web page with no trouble. I do notice when it gives me an error that if I click "reload" it usually comes in okay....but I dunno!
See you all and have a great Sunday

Hi all from beautiful sunny and 'very dry' Florida. We need rain badly. The worst drought in 100 years.:(
Slavika- Are you from Western or Eastern Canada. Before we came to Fl. we lived right on the border, not far from Kingston. We were on the St. Lawrence River. A beautiful spot, but we have given up on winter snow and cold.
Margo- Once you get started on the series of Left Behind books you won't be able to stop. I can hardly wait for the new one to come out. They have opened up the book of Revelation for me in ways I had never dreamed of.
Lily- Thanks for the help and putting my name on the list. Maybe I can find my way there again with a recipe or two.
Are any of you quilters?
Next week I have to 'bite the bullet' and go and weigh in. I hope I'll be back close to my goal. I've got three lbs. to go to get there. Why is it so hard to stay at goal once you finally get there? Anyone have the secret formula?
Are those great attached images from 3fatchicks, or do you have them available from you own computers?
:wave: Bye for now. Ann

g'day all,
Beautiful day here in Sydney (Monday 9.30 am) after a very miserable weekend.
Nothing seemed to have gone right this weekend, dh lost is American Express Card, was locked out of his office (the request to give him 24 hour access was not updated), I won't go on but it can only improve!
Computer is playing up so now dh thinks we should get a 'super-duper' laptop and sell my current laptop and home computer. He has a fairly expensive Del which the company supplied as it is his virtual office wherever he is, he now thinks we should go for something silmilar with a docking station. Who knows, as long as I have access to the net I am happy :)
We are booked to go to Melbourne next Monday for a week, so that will be good.
Greeneyez thanks for the low fat recipe link, looks good! Sounds like you must have had a recent birthday, happy birthday:) Who would have thought 25 years ago that to receive a 'zip drive' is a great present!
Ann what are the 'Left behind' books about??? Sounds interesting.
Margot good for you staying the same at wi. I am having a bit of a battle, lost 3 pounds and have gained 4 :( The last time we went out to dinner I ordered grilled snapper and salad. I was quite pleased with myself resisting temptation to order something more decadent. When the grilled snapper arrived it was beautifully served up in a bath of hollandaise sauce!!! I did scrape some of it off but it was delicious :)
Anyway back to the drawing board this week.
Webcam not working, I really haven't got enough memory, another reason to upgrade so dh says.
Have a great day all
Cheers
Maria
By the way Ann, I love all craft work and have tried my hand at quilting though nothing major.
Greeneyez
03-26-2001, 02:13 AM
Lizziepie I've quilted for a number of years. I don't anymore cause it got too expensive but I've sold several and made one for hubby in secret. Man that was hard to do but to this day it's one of his favorite gifts.
My animations I got by surfin' and stealin' from the pages that would let me :angel:
I was tickled to see I've lost 5 lbs this week. I didn't believe it but hubby said I did and that the scale is working right....wow. I am not doing much differently except cut sweets and eating more WW frozen dinners with a salad.
Thank you for the birthday wishes flaggies It's tomorrow (Monday 26th)
I'm anxiously awaiting that bread recipe ...Yum!

:wave: Good Morning Everybody
:) Happy Birthday GREENEYEZ :)
Is a "zipdrive" like a "burner"? I think you can download music and info onto zipdrive (CD's). This inquiring mind would like to know. Please. :^:
I hope you have a wonderful day in celebration of your birthday. Congrats also on the great weight loss.... 5# is a wonderful loss.
LIZZIEPIE I made a hand quilted "wall hanging" some time ago about the size of a large crib quilt. It was a "two storey house". The quilt was a like a doll house with a sofa, bed, curtains etc. It even had a garage and car. It turned out very nice and I enjoyed making it at the time. Last year TRUDY and I each made a lovely Christmas Tree Skirt. We machine quilted it with gold metallic thread. We were both very pleased with our efforts. :o
MARGOT hi there, nice to see you again. Staying the same once in awhile is ok....I stayed the same last week too. It's funny when I was going to WW I thought well I'm sure I didn't do too well during the week and if I managed to stay the same, that would please me. Then I get on the scale and I'm disappointed that I didn't lose. :eek:
MARIA maybe if you are going to continue to bounce around from place to place you should treat yourself to a really nice new laptop. When my DH retires and we go away more I think I would like a lap top too. ;)
My grandson's team was in the hockey finals yesterday and of course we went to the game. All the little munchkins skated their hearts out but my little guys team lost 2-1. For second place they still got these big medals (looks like an olympic medal) which he told me he was sure it was made of "gold". I of course agreed with him. :love:
Time for me to get going on the treadmill...see you all later.

Greeneyez: Happy Birthday! You had a great loss to!
Maria: Oh my. You didnt have to good of a weekend. Lucky you a new laptop will be nice!
Ann: Im not a quilter. I have never been good at making anything. I have helped make one before. But thats about it for me.
Slavika: A Zip drive is basically the same as a CD burner only it is on your computer. You can put stuff on to it. Oh boy they got Gold Medals! Bet the game was fun to watch.
Margot: Staying the same is good. Your doing so well I wouldnt even think about it. It is a disappointment when you dont, but next week you could have a big loss to make up for it!
Lizziepie
03-26-2001, 02:51 PM
Greeneyes- A big Happy Birthday. Have a great celebration.
Staying the same is good. What is driving me nuttsy:spin: is the going up and down, up and down with the same two or three pounds. Short of 'starvation' I'm not sure how to handle it. What does anyone suggest? Anyone been having the same struggle?
Right now I'm working on a Queen Size quilt for our bedroom. It is about 3/4 quilted, but I developed an ache in my shoulder, so I've had to put it to rest for a while. I've only been quilting for a couple of years. As a kid, my mother tried to teach me and gave up in despair. Now I'm really enjoying it.
Slavika- Where in Canada do you come from?
Flaggies- The 'Left Behind' series deal with the people who are left behind, after the Rapture, when Jesus comes back and takes his church home. They are really fictional accounts of the Book of Revelation. They have all the intrigue and excitement anyone could want. There are 8 books,and number 9 will be out this summer. Can't wait.
Have a good week, and less of each one of us. Ann
Trudy

Greeneyez Let me know what you think of the recipe for the bread. That Floras Hideout looks good. I can read recipes all day and never tire of it. :rolleyes: 5lb loss is really great. You must be so pleased with yourself. :) Happy Birthday
Ann I keep on losing the same 3 lbs too. This has been going on since Dec. I get to goal, then I gain, then I lose, then I gain... you get the picture. I wish someone could help the both of us. Maybe Karen can give us a pointer when she gets back from her vacation. :o
Lily do you mean with a zip drive I could make CD's on my 'puter? :?: You have to remember that I have only had my PC since last April, I have so much to learn.
Margot You have done so wonderfully with WW, don't get upset with staying the same once in a while. We look forward to your posts and updates.
Maria Sounds like you had a frustrating weekend. I have come across that problem eating out in restaurants. You are confident in the order and then it comes bathed is sauce or obviously cooked with oil. :mad:
Slavika Your GS must be so proud of his "Gold Medal". Now when does he start Soccer? Guess I will see you tomorrow, for the good, the bad and the ugly? It's Weigh In day for us... :lol:
Be sure to watch Rosie today, her guest is Fergie and they talk about WW. Maybe we can pick up some tips from Fergie, Rosie is just getting started at WW. I have a hard time identifing with Fergie, but I do like her.
Hope y'all are having a great day.

AHA! When the thread is short, I have no problem accessing it. I left a message on the previous one to Lily, asking where the Edit Options are so that I can make the page only have 10 replies on it. Anyway, I had worked so hard on that page, just so I could catch up, that I forgot it was the old thread and replied to it. Lily, by the way, I found it.
We had the most beautiful springday on Friday. Gorgeous weather! Daffodills everywhere! About 5 in the afternoon, the wind changed and it has been awfully, awfully cold ever since. I know spring will arrive, but we are SO READY! And we just keep seeing glimpses.
What a weekend! We did nothing but sleep, go to the movies, church, and eat. I have got to find a hobby before retirement! Another day of that and I would have been running around with little men in white chasing me with nets.
I have had the saddest news. A childhood friend of mine is dying, after having colon cancer. She is not dying of the cancer but of the surgery that was botched. They did a colostomy and did it bad so that for a year she has been poisoned by a leak and when they found it out, she was too weak to have it repaired. So sad! She is actually cancer-free. Hope there is some kind of lawsuit, not for the money, but so that will never happen again.
Lizziepie, so good to welcome you. Lots of talk, good recipes, etc. Everything you need to "get with the program."

Hi all, Happy Birthday Greeneyez. Hope your day is great. Mine has been wierd. My computer page wouldn't load and my e-mail to my sister keeps coming back saying she doesn't like me any more. We can't figure it out. Need Lily to make a house call. My e-mail chapter a day has a good book this week. It's about women who "meet" on the internet at a breast cancer site. It sounds good. If anyone wants to read it I will e-mail it to you. Finally got out today and walked today even though it was cold. Felt good. Slavika I saw a foam stamp that said Princess in Michaels the other day. I thought of you and the real "Princess". [b]Ann]/b] I played at quilting and taken a few lessons but that's about all. I did make a quilted jacket a few years ago. It looks shaggy now. Have to go now and see if my sister really doesn't like me. Peggy

:wave: Hi Everybody
TRUDY What a cute avatar. I'm telling you with weigh in tomorrow it's going to be "UGLY"
maybe I won't go since I have gone this month. Let's see. Hmmm, the first time I went this month I was down l#. The second time I went, I stayed the same...ah why break a winning streak. hee hee. :D
I'll wait and see what tomorrow morning "bringiths".
Ok, ok, LILY I know that's not a word but it sounds like one. You see LIZZIEPIE you are not the only one on this board that recycles the same few lbs over and over again. ALAS there are a couple of us. :o
PEGGY thank you for mentioning the "Princess" stamp at Michaels. Next time I go I'll check and see if ours has it. I don't know exactly what I need it for but I'm sure I could find something to stamp on. :s:
I told one of my friends today that I spent an enormous amount of time doing not very much. One thing I did was made the "Apple Cinnamon Tart" from the "floras-hideout Recipe site" for our Tea Time tomorrow. If any of you go to that recipe site and want to try the recipe be sure to use a "tart type pie plate" or a very deep pie plate. It looks good but I didn't taste it yet.
I might have to do that tonight to make sure ok to serve to my friends tomorrow. :rolleyes:
Have a nice evening everybody.
A LITTLE LATER:
GLENDA somehow I missed your post. I'm sorry about your friend. How sad that she should beat the cancer but now this.
TRUDY I watched my tape of the "Rosie" show and I thought that Fergie came across very nice and friendly and was a good sport. Rosie seems to know the points pretty good too. I guess if you have been on a million diets you gain knowledge even if you don't always lose weight.
Night all.
LilyG
03-26-2001, 10:33 PM
Trudy: No A Zip drive is totally different. You can place things on the zip drive to keep.
A CD Burner, you can make from files that are on your computer to store them on the CD away from the computer. They both store files. Just the zip drive remains on the computer where with a CD you remove it and place elsewhere. Does that make sence?
Missed fergie. I was gonna tape it and then forgot. ALAS
Glenda: So sorry to hear about your friend. Thats very sad news. Glad you figured out the shorter pages. Does make it easier to load.
Slavika: Huh? What word? What Id miss? ALAS Im lost. Thats you down there cooking by the way. (image I attached)
Peggy: Sounds like maybe your sisters email is down. Its not finding the address to deliver it sounds like to me.
Ann: Try to vary your points everyday. That helped me when I was stuck. Like go: low then mid then low then mid range.

Glenda :lol: your weekend sounds a lot like the ones I have been having lately. Lots of eating and resting....
So sorry about your friend. That is the sadest thing I have heard in a while.
Peggy These 'puter problems are going to drive all of us whacky, :dizzy: My e-mail problem seems to have straighted out.
Slavika I like Fergie on Rosie's show too. I liked the way they talked about the emotional eating and the little game they played was cute... there I was trying to figure out the points too. See you tomorrow, looking forward to the "Apple Cinnamon Tart".. last weeks "Crustless Apple Pie" was really good. What a good cook! :angel: Just heavenly.
Lily I understand the difference between Zip and CD Burner now... Thanks. :D You mentioned before you vary your points every day. I will have to try that one too. I am getting pretty upset with myself these days. :(
It's not like the 3 lbs will make a big difference, and I know it's only a number, but I sure would like to see it again. :rolleyes:
Well, it's late and I need my sleep...good night all

Hi All...
Had a great day...why? Cause no catastrophe appeared at my door :)
I hav a 100 Mb external zip drive...what that is is a whole lot bigger than the 1.44 floppy disks you store things on. External means it isn't storing anything on my hard drive but on a floppy...which is outside the puter....not inside like a normal disk drive...This way, I store all my programs etc. on it and should my puter crash, cause it's external, all I have to do is put my disk in and reload everything again.
survivor...my heart goes out to you and your friend. That is just horrible what has happened to her. Yet the medical field would like to have us believe they are infalible....gods even. God bless you both. May you be a comfort to her on preparing herself on the way home
Yeah, that's the worst thing I think about losing weight... the ups and downs of it all

I feel that there are more replies to this thread that I just can't seem to get. I will be very happy to get that upgrade to my computer soon.
I sure am struggling with WW. Actually, I am doing fine pointswise, but it is so HARD right now for some reason. It is so cold here that I have very little ambition to exercise. Last night I was going to the gym to do the treadmill, but just stayed home and did this little arm routine with weights. This darned weather! One day it is 75 degrees and the next 4 it is 32 degrees.
Did anybody watch South Pacific last night? The songs are just so beautiful, but I really like the original movie better. My husband watched until the first song and he said, "I can't stand it when someone just burst out in song." Then he was in the other room watching, as he said, "normal TV."
I will have my 11-year-old grandson on Friday. I am taking off. Looking forward to it--these days with a divorced son and grandchildren are kind of few and far between.
You all sound so busy and happy and I feel like such a "whiner". Darn it! Hope the weather warms up SOON!

G'day all,
Where do I start, so much info in the past posts!!!
Firstly on a serious note, I am also very sorry to hear about your friend Glenda, that is so sad when it seems with a little more care she could have still many years ahead of her.
I just love everyone's avatars, they are so cute and tell quite a story. I would love to add some interesting/fun ones to my post but I am having soo much trouble with my ISP that I am happy to surf the net for just a short time.
Your apple cinnamon tart sounds lovely Slavika you just have to love that cute little teddy that lily posted. Hope the weigh in went ok.
I agree Trudy Trudy computers are great but what a pain when they don't do what you want them to do. By the way I have a CD burner and I love it. I have copied many of my good music CD's for use in the car and all my photos are now backed up on CD as well as my files.
Glenda I had to laugh at your dh watching 'normal TV'. Some years ago I took my mother to the stage show 'South Pacific' I didn't think I would like it but I knew my mother would, well I thoroughly enjoyed it but have never gotten around to watch the movie.
Enjoy having your grandson visit.
Today for me is Tai Chi and this evening learning Photoshop. Monday to Melbourne for a week and my daughter and I will be shopping for a wedding dress. She has seen a few she likes and wants my opinion.
I have cooked myself for the past 4 days and feel much better and more in control, hopefully that will be reflected on the scales soon.
Greeneyez that is a great avatar, the balancing act, so true :)
Have a great day all.
Cheers

:wave: Hello Everybody
Maria I have to say the Apple Cinnamon Tart was not so good and I don't think I will make it again. I tried a tiny piece of it last night and thought it wasn't too bad but today at tea time Trudy and I "analyzed" it and decided it wasn't a "keeper recipe":( We have SO MANY recipes that if something isn't really good well there's just no point in keeping it. Well we had "tea time" but I did not go to WW. I knew from the scale this morning that the best I could hope for was to stay the same, and since I had been this month already, I didn't go.
Lily That's it, I didn't gain any weight on holidays it's just ALL MY HAIR like your little bear. :D
Glenda First, you are not a whiner and if you ever do want to do a bit of "whinning" this is the spot to do it. I know Glenda, we could plan on having a "get it off our chest day.................
I have a friend who thinks I live somewhat of a "glorified life", :angel: and only bad things happen to her, but never to me. Well I do have a good life but sometimes bad things happen in my life too and this is a nice place to come to. :) I know you will enjoy your grandson. Since mine is only 7 yrs old, and I can no longer remember my own son at the age of 11, I'm not even sure what they are interested in. You'll have to keep me informed so I will know what I have to look forward to.
Trudy I don't know where you are finding all those darling little avatars but I love the sneaky :s:
expression on that kitty cat's face.........much like mine, when I have used up all my points and want "ONE MORE LITTLE SOMETHING~~~~~~:smug:
I'll stop by later on tonight to see if the rest of you gals have posted. Hope you all have a nice evening.

As Slavika said, we stayed at her place today and ate. :D We also did a lot of laughing. Another friend joined us too. Last month, on Oprah, she mentioned www.landsend.com ~ a site where you can click on Virtual Model and then fill in your vital statistics and get a model of yourself. We did the complete model (you can do a short one), including hair color and style, skin color and all the measurements we would just as soon not think about. :eek: We got out the measuring tape and got busy. I must say that the model really does look like us. Between the 3 of us we could have probably made one hot babe. :lol: This is a site where you can buy clothes, so you can pick out different articles of clothing, including bathing suits and try them on your model to get an idea how they would look. Lots of fun...
Greeneyez I got a little :?: with the zip drive, I had to read it a few times, but it does sound like a good idea, you can't lose any valuable information. On my PC that would be recipes, and weight loss sites... :o
Lily I am going to start varing my points too, already today I had 28.... not quite the direction I had planned to go. We went out for supper tonight and I had Shrimp Scampi, as close as I can figure the shrimp came to 11 points - with everything else supper was 18pts. Now I hadn't planned on eating out so I am 5 pts over today.... will have to make that up somewhere. Tomorrow I am having lunch with my Fitness Friends..... :dizzy:
Maria Let us know how you like Tai Chi and Potoshop. You will have such a nice time helping your DD shop for a wedding dress. :) When my DD was trying on dresses I had a tear or two in my eye.
GLenda I had watched South Pacific with Glenn Close the last time it was on and I thoroughly enjoyed it. My DH abandoned me too.... he doesn't burst into song during our conversations and can't see anyone else doing it either.
Everyone I know has bad times in their lives, and down days... thankfully we try not to dwell on them. Thank God we have people we can vent with, get it out of the way and move on. I'll bet you felt better once you got it out of your system. :)
Slavika Ok, I can just hear you telling our WW leader that it isn't lbs. it's HAIR..I am not sure she will fall for it. I know I'm not buying it. :lol: We came to the unanimous decision that the "Crustless Apple Pie" was better than the "Cinnamon Apple Tart"..... :rolleyes: .... and we know our desserts.
Well, another day done with... it was a good one.... Good night all....

Maria: Let us know how the Photoshop class is. Would love to take it again but then i cant afford the program. This is my first CD burner I have and love it. I moved all my stuff off so I could keep it and grab it when I needed to. Havent tried Music yet.

Glenda- So sorry about your friend. You are right that maybe a lawsuit would help keep such a thing from happening again. Has she exhausted all her options, like Mayo Clinic or some other such place? And we know that God can perform miracles.
I watched South Pacific last night and my Hubby also went and watched "Normal tv." I still like the old movie better. And when I was teaching, I did the stage version with my High School Choir. I like the stage version, even better. Such great songs.
Thanks for the tips. I'll try altering my point levels and see what happens, and I need to do a little more exercise, I believe.
I'll check back tomorrow. My weigh-in day is Sat. if I don't get chicken and not go. Ann

Hi everyone,
Just checking in to let you know I am still alive. I figured some of you might have wondered if I have died and gone to glory because I post so little these days. It is a combination of lack of time and problems with this free ISP. Also, too, is the fact that I read the thread at the gym so I don't have to come to the "puter to see what's up with y'all.
Glenda, so sorry about your friend. It must be terribly frustrating to be losing a friend to medical incompetence. I hope her family takes the doc to the cleaners.
Ann, welcome. When did you post the first time? I cannot find your original post---just everybody welcoming you. I am very interested in crafts. I started a quilt about a year ago. I have three blocks done and it looks like a million to go. One of these fine days I will get it done. Hopefully this summer when I have my weekends free I will get some major sewing done. Right now I am working on an embroidered baby quilt. Just started it the other day. If it turns out okay, I will get my DH to take a picture and post it.
We went 'puter shopping tonight. My DH wants to get a Pentium III because it is $200 cheaper than the Pentium IV. I told him not to be so cheap and get the faster one. Do you agree, Lily? He says he doesn't need it to be faster. I think that eventually he will wish he had the faster one. The girl at Gateway demonstrated the IV and it moved like greased lightening. Of course, I will get the old one. But, it will be downstairs and that will make it better. These artritic knees don't go upstairs sometimes simply because they dread the trip down. For some reason that is always harder. He also promised me he will get a DSL when we get the new 'puter so that should end all my ISP problems.
I am reading "The Mark" (the most recent book in the Left Behind series), but am not far enough along to have an opinion on it yet. I sure have enjoyed the other books in the series.
I had jury duty today. So I sat outside a courtroom most of the day while the lawyers settled the cases. They didn't turn us loose till 2 and I had to be there at 8. It cost me $14 for parking. Can you believe it? My lunch was $7. My jury paycheck was $6, so I figure it cost me $15 to serve. There is something wrong with the system.
My friend's visit was great. I took her to an antique mall that she just loved. She bought a plate for $175 for her sister for Christmas. I am so unknowledgeable about antiques that I never even heard of the stuff. She called it "flow blue" and was delighted with her purchase. I was not near as impressed as she was. I bought a bunch of clothes for my granddaughters. I got the baby size 2T and have to take them back and get a 3T. I told you my baby was big. She now has 19 teeth. I will be glad when that last tooth comes in.
Better close for now. Have to get up at 5 to go to the gym and it is 10:15. It will be another hour or 2 before I get to sleep. I still have to read my Bible and work on my Bible study.
Night all.

Has anyone heard of the "Eat right 4 your blood type"? I did a newsletter on it for my diet group if any of you want to me to send it out to you. It explains why some of us lose on a certain type of diet and others don't. Maybe it'll answer a few questions for you.
