WW Clubs and Groups - Wacky Wednesday!

I'm up late again so I'll start another thread! I chose a combo of the above. I don't have time to read the paper, so most of the time I hear it on the radio or catch it on the net. I'll make sure I find a paper if there's someting I specifically want to read about.

I went to WI and I lost!!! .6 # but I'll take it. I didn't have time to eat dinner, just some peaches so I inadvertantly saved some points today. That's OK. I have a total of 38# gone. I'm only 5# away from virgin fat territory. The Tuesday before my wedding last July I WI at 43 # gone. If I'm really good my Memorial Day goal (down to 155 - 43.4 pounds gone) is reachable. Wow, when I look back at that I realize how far I have come. Yeah, I have gained up to 10 pounds back, but I have never quit and never let myself go back to my original weight! We can all do this. Need to get that exercise in! I think I'll wear my tennis shoes tomorrow and do some walking at work! Send me motivational vibes please :^:

Kirsty: I'm right there with on paying rent. We are so sick of it! We are starting to plan now for a down payment on a house. Big goal but we will do it. I will have to live vicariously through you to experience Paris (for now). I'm so glad you had a good time.

Lisa: Tomorrow errr...today's the day! We will conquer the Kings! Losing is not an option. I have a party tomorrow night *torture* so I will miss at least half the game :mad: Ah well, the sacrifices we make -- no matter how painful they may be. It's so much fun to watch them at the bar. I just always end up drinking too much beer and then my resolve not to eat evil appetizers dissappears. Still haven't solved that problem :rolleyes:

Suzanne: Thanks for the tip on the Ab-doer. I hadn't heard that but I will def check into it now. My DH is totally into the body building magazines now so I will have him keep an eye out for any articles.

Lolly: Congrats!!!!! What a wonderful loss. Hmmm, dang, no PB spooning every weekend? Darn. I love PB in celery, don't you think the celery should even out the points in PB? Eureka!!!! :lol:

KO: Never tried raisins in PB on celery. Sunds wonderful!

Belle: I'm so proud of you for walking! That really will make all the dif in the world! I know you can keep it up *hugs*

Kim: I use proflowers.com and love them. I ordered flowers for my mom too. I was impressed with proflowers b/c the first time I ordered with them was last year for Mom's day and they came to her all wilted. I sent an E-mail letting them know, explained everything, and they made good on their guarantee. Refunded me and now I am a faithful customer. I have to say I was very impressed.

Kay and all who were in Media discussion: Yes, things get very distorted in the Media. Remember Columbine? I'm right here in the Denver Metro area. I have cousins and niece/nephews in HS (not at Columbine). It was very strange to see the reports over the rest of the country versus even the news reports here. In a way it made me mad how they used this tragedy to exploit the lives of the people affected. I never know what to believe anymore wheter it's TV, newspaper or the net. It seems the focus is less on the true story than it should be. V. sad.

Stacey: I can sympathize on being sick of a certain story. I switch the radio evertime I hear ref to Jonbenet Ramsey. You'd think they realize it's been run in the ground!

OK, now I have posted this huge thing and have none of my PL stuff done so I can go to bed. Can we say 3fc's addict?? 'See' everyone tomorrow.......I mean, today. :dz:

"Spread your wings and fly! You are on your way to freedom, success and personal growth." -- written to me by a friend an fellow PL Consultant. I thought it was appropriate for all us us as well :angel:

Hi Guys! Just checking in ... I HAVE to go and do some work away from a computer! And then I have to go and buy a dress ... or two. Yup, I just found out I have to wear black for 2 concerts this term (first one is next Monday) and do I have anything black in my wardrobe? NO! I don't want to spend loads on a dress I will hopefully shrink out of soon, but I really need to get something. Hmm. And also a dress for the wedding I'm going to on Saturday. Can't wear black to that because I don't have anything colourful to go with it and I'm not buying yet ANOTHER piece of new clothing. I have to budget! At least now I can go to all the high street shops and find the best deal and not be stuck with Evans (our version of Lane Bryant, only less trendy!). Wish me luck!

I voted for combination on the poll, because I go through phases - sometimes I listen to the radio all the time, sometimes I read several newspapers in a day (depends how much work I am supposed to be doing!), then I can go for days not knowing anything. Plus I have some friends who are into current affairs discussions bigtime - though mainly Spanish stuff. BTW, did you hear Britain has a general election on June 7th? Can't get excited about it though - it's a foregone conclusion. Kirsty, any thoughts?

Back later,
Lolly

i'm a metro (free newspaper you get on the underground) girl in the morning, and then always on bbc online news during the day. but i'm not really into politics and i fear that with the upcoming election in the UK i shall be forced to not watch/read the news at all for fear of falling asleep. i know labour will get in again but not solve any problems. i don't think conservatives would be any better. i'm sure lib dems would be ok, but no one votes for them. and the other parties are too small, although the scottish national party does do quite well in scotland. i wish lib dems i think. but i expect labour. tony blair scares me though.
lolly - have fun dress shopping.
brenda - hooray on the loss! good luck saving up for a house. i can't wait to be in my own place. our new neighbours downstairs have managed to transfer both our gas and electricity accounts into their name, meaning lots of hassle on my part to get them changed back!! there are two meters for each, but somehow (and it may be people at the companies going wrong) they've taken the wrong one over each time! argh!!
hooray on all the piccies, i love seeing them. the one i posted is also my passport picture but i don't think it looks much like me anymore so i am always glad that they let me back into the country! i will post a more recent one soon i promise. we are a rather good looking bunch i agree!
hey stacey, i remember you saying you were going to exercise every day till the BIG DAY - how's that been going?
i have to go. i am the boss in my department today cos the 3 people above me are on a media law refresher course. so i'm chief and my coworker ben is the deputy. hee hee! so i guess i need to do some work and stop faffing. got to set a good example to young ben.
more laters,
kirsty

lolly - eurovision song contest is on this saturday!! i emailed you a drinking game for it. are you going to watch it? for those of you who have never heard of it, this is a top night!! every country in europe enters a song and on the night each country performs their song and judges from each country vote (certain countries always vote for each other and those that get "nil points" or are in the bottom few can't take part the next year cos so many want to take part they have to have a selection process!). the winning country hosts the whole thing the next year. it is hilarious, especially because different countries have very different ideas of music. oh, and fashion takes about a decade to get from western to eastern europe. my friend is having a party where we have to bring food/drink from our allocated country and we'll have a sweepstake on the winner. it's where abba first became famous (they sang waterloo). katrina and the waves did the uk entry a few years ago (didn't win but did ok). ooh, i'm all excited!

Hello Kirsty - got drinking game, thanx, but won't be able to watch (BOO!) as we will be at that wedding on Sat night (YIPPEE!, I think). Eurovision MUST be on American tv, on some cable network or something. People, you have to find it! It's fab! They have songs with gibberish names like Boom-Bang-A-Bang (and yes, that one was British. We are so proud).

Am working v hard today. Well, have planned next stage of chapter and am now playing with writing it up. Then I'm going to get a dress ...

Oh, and re: the election, I think I agree about LibDems, ie, they have the most sympathetic ideas but a snowflake's chance in **** of getting in. Maybe we should all vote Natural Law and start yogic flying. It must be depressing in US with only 2 parties.

Lxxx

i'm not sure if you can see it on cable tv in the states or canada, but if you can access the internet you can watch it there on

denmark won it last year, so they are the host nation this time.

Good morning Lolly, Kirsten, and Brenda!

Brenda - we will win tonight. We HAVE to. I commend the Kings on working hard - but the Avs are the better team and the Avs deserve the cup. GO AVS! Also, Sakic had a day to rest, so I think he'll be looking better. And congrats on the .6 - you really have come far!

Yesterday I was asked to lunch by an old co-worker, so I went. I was SO close to getting the fried buffalo chicken sandwhich with fries!!!! But I got chicken sir fry. I had that and a piece of bread from the bread basket - so still I estimated 14 points for lunch, but I guess it could have been worse.

I found this picture from October - when I was at my heaviest - UGH. Can I just tell you I looked uncomforatable. Anyway, I'm going to scan that in and scan in a ercent pic, so I can show off my progress.

Ladies - have a great hump-day.

GO AVALANCHE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!
Lisa

working working working ...

Can you tell I'm procrastinating?

Lisa - looking forward to seeing your photos! Great idea to post a 'before' and an 'after'. And good going on lunch yesterday - I don't know what buffalo chicken is but it sounds yummy in that greasy, not-very-good-for-you-but-sometimes-oh-so-necessary kind of way.

Laters!
Lxxx

ps:- found this picture on my computer, don't know where it came from, but it's so cute! And isn't it just the opposite of what we all go through when we look in the mirror? Maybe we should all try and be more like this kitty ...

We have the natural law party in Canada as well!! It was run partly be the late magician Doug Henning.

My roomate opened up a Pandora's box with me. He asked me how I felt about getting a cat.... Now I want one, oh well... (I am at my parent's currently and my cat is being so cute).

Anyhoo, I have Orientation at work tomorrow evening so hopefully taht will go well, I am just glad I got a job. I also have a parking spot:) It was funny though, I was getting a video store membership card yesterday and I needed a credit card and my liscence. My liscence pic was taken when I was about 225lbs or so and my hair colour was different, she kind of looked shocked, luckily she believed it was me, it was kind of funny though seeing her reaction.

I am off to go shoe shopping and to have lunch at a veggie restaurant with my parent's.

Hello to everyone.... I need at home internet access:)

Take Care!

Ali

...hear me roar!

belle - how's the running? i did another 25 mins today. bit tough halfway through cos i got a bit of a stitch but i made it! :D i'm still always amazed i can get past the first few minutes without realising it. when i first started i was struggling to get to a minute, and boy, i really enjoyed the walking times!! anyone else interested in following the program it's at
http://kicksports.com/new/couch.shtml
hello ali! good to hear you've got a parking spot! have fun at lunch with your folks.

Kirsty, you are obviously as focused on your work as I am! RRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRR!

Hi there Ali - good news on the parking spot. YOU MUST GET A CAT!!! And then post hundreds of pictures of it ... I totally get cat withdrawal symptoms after I've visited mine at my parents' place.

RRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRR

Wow, there were so many posts to catch up on since Monday afternoon. I love the pictures thread. I wish I could post too. Everyone is so lovely and it is so fun to put a face with a name. Funny how some people look nothing like I would have pictured.

Well Monday evening was fine. Had a short workout at the gym and ate my max., At least I had earned a few points to cpmensate for the weekend. Yesterday I was in Annapolis, finally go my laptop so it will be easier to work from hom. I ate very well yesterday, better than I realized when I added my points this morning. I was at 20.5. I was able to save 4.5 plus earn 5 exercise points. I still want to save 10 per day until WI. I don't know how I can do that becasye I may have to have some short sessions at the gym this week. It has gotten very busy. Tomorrow night I have graduation rehearsal and Friday I have to go meet witha teacher during the day. I am working from home but feel bad about going out too much.

I also just found out that BareNaked Ladies toickets go on sale Friday morning at 10am. how are we supposed to get tickets?? I am worried that DH will expect me to go wait in line since I am working from home and I jst don't think it's right. Does anyone have any ideas for me?

So how is everyone's hump day going? the boards have been so busy lately. I will try to check in a few times today and maybe tomorrow and Friday depending on how work goes. I do like the idea of being home though.

Kay - your bridesmaids dress was the same one I wore last summer in sky blue. It was lovely. I lovve your dress as well.

Belle - Great on the walking. I hope you are able to keep it up!

Lolly - Have fun buying new dresses. I know that it is kind of annoying to need new clothes for only a short time.

Kirsty - you are doing great with you running. How far do you run? I didn't do a full mile yesterday, got too tired.

Ok, I better go. Hi to Stacey, Brenda, Trish, Tonya, Shaylene, Ali, Jen, Angie et al. Talk to you later!

Sarah
194.4/160.6/153WW

My boss is late this morning so I have a few moments to spare. Well, I gained 1# last night! It was frustrating but my "bad" week before last finally caught up with me. I will be such an "angel" this week! Honestly! Too bad my Memorial Day goal is shot to heck. Maybe I can make it to 180 by Memorial Day. Hmmm, we'll see.
Well, I have a closing this afternoon so I'd better get busy on the file.
Have a great hump day and hopefully I'll be back later.
ps... Yeah! Brenda, way to go on your loss!!!!!
pps...Ali, def get a cat!! I love my Goofy! :) I want another, too, but my fiance would croak. Besides, we're getting a dog after the honeymoon. Brett thinks it's "compromising" instead of children. hehe little does he know!! :) There is a website called www.petsandpeople.com they are based in Oklahoma and rescue animals from the shelters before it's too late. They give the animals a checkup and any shots needed and you can adopt them for like $40!! So, I keep checking the website and getting all sappy at the cute puppies and kittens. If you go there, look at Dillion, the cutest puppy in the whole world!! :D
NOW, I must get to work. I keep minimizing my window when I hear the door open/close. :devil:
I'll be back...

Hi Ali, Stacy, and Sarah,

Good to hear from you ladies. I'm not much of a cat person. I like dogs. Big ones.

Sarah - good luck with BNL tickets. I know they go fast. That should be a fun show.

I think a male co-worker subconsciously noticed that I have lost weight. He asked "Did you do something different with you hair?" I said no. He asked "Did you go tanning?" I said no. So he goes, "well something's different. But whatever it is - you look really nice." I just said thank you and moved on. No reason to give away my secret!! :)

Lisa

Happy wednesday! I've been good this week-I WI tomorrow am and am determined to post a loss!
On call again tonight-that means I came to work this morning and I leave tomorrow-it sucks!

Fiance and I spent last night doing finances-it's depressing how much debt medical school causes....

Tilley-Isn't it fun when people notice?

Kirsty and Lolly-RRRROOOAAARRRR!!! I'm with you on the procrastination!

I admit I am not a cat lover-I am highly allergic....I prefer dogs! I voted TV but should ahve said other b/c I read the paper whenever I can and prefer to get my news that way or on NPR...

bye for now-lori

I'm back!!!

Well, I tried to read thru all of the posts since last Thursday, but it is going to take me a while!

My trip was fab, but lots of driving. Now, I am back to work, and have some catching up to do. I ate terribly on my trip, but am committed to being good from now on.

It is beautiful here in Wis. today, 83 degrees!! I hope to take the kids for a walk today after work.

My goals for this week are:

1. watch my portions
2. drink my water every day!
3. Try to walk each night!

As far as my trip from San Diego goes, we drove from CA to Wis., I must say that Utah, and Colorado, are the most beautiful states in the US. If you haven't been to them, everyone must go!!!

Well, off to get some stuff done, I will check in later! Sorry I can't post to everyone!!

Hey, Belle, did I read one of your posts wrong, are you getting married?????

Check in later....:)

Nope, that's not me!!?? I wish it were, but no, I am not getting married. My best friend is, and I feel like I am planning her whole wedding, whcih I will be when she goes to Victoria in June!! Yikes!!

B/f is better, but not that good!! :D

Kirsty - running is okay! I have blisters from wearing new shoes on my walk to and from work, so I think I'll take today off - I really like how I feel afterward!! I can't wait to build up to that point!!

I have to run, but I will respond later...

btw - lolly, I love the pic!!

Belle

I think I lost some this week, at least my home scale said so! Cross your fingers!

Everyone's been pretty lively on the board this morning! Does anyone work? :D I didn't come in until 11:30 a.m. because I was riding with a cop until midnight last night. I'm pretty sleepy, but it was fun. The cop's a K-9 officer and I'm doing a story on him.

As for the poll, I picked newspapers out of loyality, but I actually get my news from all over the place. I watch CNN in the morning while getting ready (when I'm not watching 90210 reruns!), read my own newspaper, listen to the radio on the way to work, then spend the time during the day periodically checking news on the web or on the AP wires. At 6 p.m., some of us in the newsroom gather around the evening news to make fun of it! :devil:

Does BNL ever tour in the south? I haven't heard anything about them being down here. But get what concert I'm going to in July: Depeche Mode! I was a huge fan in high school, and a HS buddy called me a few weeks ago to tell me he got tickets for the Atlanta show. I didn't even know they were still together, but they're coming out with a new CD! I heard a new song on the radio the other day. It should be fun, lots of nostalgia!

Speaking of albums, I heard through my high-school-friend-grapevine that an old buddy is going to be producing one of the Backstreet Boys' individual albums. Hmm. I'll believe it when I see it.

Lisa: I'm a dog person, too. I have two ... each about 50 lbs. A retriever mix and a husky mix. I love big dogs because you can really hug them! Last night, the police K-9 I rode with was a 95-lb. Rottweiler.

Oh, I'm hungry. WI is at 12:30 and I never eat breakfast on WI days. I want as little in my stomach as possible. I drank two cups of coffee, though.

Better go look busy ...

p/s Speaking of weddings, I have a shower to go to Thursday, a wedding on Saturday and I haven't bought any gifts yet! Arghhh! I also have no idea what to wear. My b/f is taking a dress of mine to the dry cleaners, but it's what I call my safe dress. It's a pretty shade of grey, long, sleeveless with a little jacket. I've worn it to just about every formal thing I've gone to in the past year because I don't want to buy anything else. Maybe I'll — gasp — go shopping tonight after work. I'll have to to get the gifts, at least. Bleh. Hate shopping.

Hi girls,

just a quick hello....thread is busy today.

welcome back to tonya!

awesome job walking belle!

congrats to everyone who lost and good luck to future wegh inners :D

this week my home situation is very stressful~let's just say it's no longer just bf and I. future MIL is coming over sunday even though bf and i have been fighting about it since saturday because of all the mis communication about it....long story. i really can't wait until things go back to normal.....good things happen to those who wait bf says....

well have a good one!

sarah - i am just under 2.5 miles now. i want to be able to do 3 miles in 30 mins over the next couple of weeks, and after that i'll try to get a bit faster. but prob not by much! good luck getting a ticket to BNL - can't you phone up for them?
lolly - how's your running going?
belle - i hate actually running, but i do so love how good i feel after i've got off the treadmill!! esp if i have managed to do it without walking/cheating.
kim, my fingers are crossed for you.
glad to hear you had a good trip tonya, i'd love to go to colorado and utah. i got offered a summer job working on the cascades when i was a student but i took the one at nasa goddard instead. i've never been anywhere near the west coast. but hopefully one day.
lori - hope being on call goes ok. finances are v depressing for me too!
lisa - hooray on people noticing but not knowing what they are noticing!
stacey - cool kittens and puppies - i want one too!!
suzanne - good luck with future MIL!
right, 6pm for me so i'm out of here. see you all tomorrow,
kirsty

HI everyone. I was busy this morning so I didn't get to post right away. I can't believe how busy this thread has been!!!! I am doing Ok and staying within points, however I feel like I am going over because I am eating a lot. Weird! WI is on Saturday, but I may have to go to the 7:00 am one and skip the meeting because we are going to an auction.

Kirsty... I have been trying to jog for a bit in between my walking... only do this on the treadmill tho since I usually have Emma or the dog when I walk outdoors. I can jog for 3 minutes straight now. I keep working up to more.

Welcome back Tonya!! Wish we were as warm here in central WI... only in the 60's.

Tilley... I love it when people notice. Keeps my willpower up too! :)

Brenda... If the Ab-doer is the one that has a seat with the bars that come over head, then it may not be too sturdy for your hubby. My hubby sat on one (used it as a chair while he was waiting for me) and said he could feel that it was not that sturdy for him. He has a lot of upper body strength. Make sure you try one BEFORE you buy just to make sure it will work for both of you! :)

Suzanne... I feel for your in-law problems... I have lots of those too!

HELLLLLOOOOOOOOOO to everyone I missed. Hopefully I will be back later!

Just a quick hello to all

It is hard to keep up with so many

Congrats to the loss, any gains ,.,..dont stress.

I lost 1 pound at weigh in today
Feeling pretty good about that ....but would have of course liked more. After the weekend I had though...I am pretty happy with it.

Better get back to Emma

(hugs)

angie

I'm down 2.2! Yippee! Now I'm back down to where I was in February when I lost 4.2 in one week. So I FINALLY feel like I'm back on track. I'm feeling pretty confident that I can reach my 30-point mark (176.8) by June 16, so I'm going to now try for 175. That's about 5 weeks away, and if I work hard, I think I can do it. Still, I won't feel really good until I get below 172 — that's what I was when I first joined WW waaay back in 1993! I only had 40 lbs. to lose then, though. Right now, I have another 54.4 to go. Yikes. That's too scary to think about. My second 10 percent is 166 — that sounds more reasonable!

Angie: Congrats on your loss! And don't fret, a pound is a pound. WW says you're supposed to average between 1 and 2 every week, anyway. When I follow points exactly to the high end, I usually lose about 1.6.

I'm envious of all you runners! I used to run, but since I tore my ACL about 4 years ago (which led to the super weight gain), I can't really anymore. I haven't been skiing since then, either, but I plan to go again when I can get into my size 10 ski pants! My knee still needs some strengthening, too. I didn't do very well with my own therapy after I had surgery. I'll probably never play soccer again, which I did in HS, college and on a community rec team until I busted my knee! :(

My weight loss has made me want to go exercise! I want to go to the gym tonight, but I've got to go shopping for wedding gifts. I looked a little at lunch when I was downtown but didn't see anything. Sigh.

I'm going to work for the next hour STRAIGHT!

Goodness we have been active today! I was slammed with work all morning and then I went to WI. Well, at WI I lost 1.6#! That put me at a total of 25.2 #. I was super excited because the weight is getting really hard to lose now. I have 2.2 until goal, so I hope I can make it by Memorial Day. Next week is the cruise so we'll see...

I'm really nervous about the eating situation on the cruise. I figure if I watch myself and exercise I'll do fine. Hopefully there will be pleanty of time to get a workout in. Have any of ya'll been on a cruise? How is the food situation? We're going on Royal Carribean for 7 days to the Eastern Carribean.

Anyway, I would say that I'm more of a cat person, but I like dogs too. I'm a bit scared of dogs now becasue I was bitten by one. Sometimes they can be too unpredictable. They are great friends, though.

Well sorry this is so short. I have to get back to the grind :(

I love all of your pictures!

Kay

Great Loss!!!!! That is awesome. Have you looked for your friend's registry on line? I always buy wedding gifts off of the internet now. Try www.weddingchannel.com to find their lists!

Good luck!

Kim - awesome loss! You must feel great! I am lucky that I can run, but b/f can't - his knee is bad too, and he gets sore evenfrom rollerblading...oh well...LOVE 90210 reruns...AH, the good old days! Also, love depeche!! That is so cool!

Sarah - BNL rock!! You'll love the concert, good luck getting tix

Angie adn Brenda - way to go on the loss!! I love those little surprises, especially if you don't expect a loss. Now, I BETTER lose this week, since I have been v.g. and exercising lots.

Stacey - one pound isn't bad at all for a "bad" week...good luck being an angel!! :angel:

Ali - that must have been pretty weird for the video girl! You look WAY different....

Lori - I am allergic too, but cats LOVE me (probably b/c they know I am allergic!)

Suzanne - good luck with MIL.....yikes!

Kay - woo hoo on your loss too!!!

I banked major points yestereday, which was nice, but today I am not feeling v. hungry! I ate a seed bun and it just didn't sit well with me....maybe I am getting sick - I was out at like 9pm last night and slept straight until 6:45. V. unlike me!

Well, I must sign off...hello to everyone I missed!!

Belle

Kay: Great loss to you, too! I can't believe you're so close to goal. That's so awesome. First Ali, now you, we have some real role models on this site! As for the wedding, yes, I've looked at their gift registries and they're boring. I wanted to be a little more creative. Because I have to get a shower gift and a wedding gift, one of them is going to be a framed picture of the place where they got engaged. I think I'm going to visit Pier 1 tonight. I love all their stuff and I'm sure I can find something. I'm thinking margarita glasses! :D

Hey, BTW, I got bit by a CAT once and had to get rabies shots because it was part wild and didn't have any of its shots. I started the shots because animal control would not get motivated to go find the cat and quarantine it. Finally, they did when I threatened to write a story and I could stop the shots. The cat was fine; so was I. But man, that rabies shot (a series of three in the butt and each thigh — it has to hit large muscles) was painful!! I passed out.

My coworkers 6 month old just got bit by his dog! A spaniel! 25 stitches in the face...yikes!

wow, such great losses today - WAY TO GO Brenda, Angie, Kim and Kay!!!!

Kay - I have been on 4 or 5 cruises and Royal Carribbean is my favorite. what islands are you going to? We were on the Nordic Empress years ago and thenthe Majesty of the Seas for our honeymoon 3 years ago. You will love it. the eating is difficult becasue there is so much good food to tempt you. You jst have to be deligent. I went on a Carvial Cruise for Thanksgiving and I used the treadmill every morning and didn't go to breakast. I tried to eat mostly salads at lunch and they always had a healthy option in the dining room. I did eat dessert more than I should have. The midnight buffets are great but be careful. There are just so many opportunities to eat. You can always ask for things to be made special for you and they should have healthy options as well. Check out their website. The other hard part - frozen fruit drink!!! Good luck!

Belle - How awful for the child! I hope he is ok.

Kim - Yuck all those shots would kill me! the picture gift sounds great!

Kristy - very impressive at 2.5 miles!!!

Jen - I can't go to my WW meetin gopn Sat either. I may go to WI but not stay if I can squeeze it in. We have a baptism. I am going to the meeting tonight with DH for his WI. He has laready lost 11 pounds in 2 weeks!

Work has been slow but I have managed to goof off all day. I did turn in another school asignemtn so at least that was productive. I hope everyone has a good night. We are getting subway for dinner after WW, it's close and we're lazy. I'll try to checkin tomorrow!

Sarah
194.4/160.6/153WW

when you're faced with a buffet. I did this a few weeks ago when I was at that seminar. Yogurt mixed with fruit (strawberries are my fave) and granola. It's light, it's healthy!
