Evette- Great to see you!!! Awesome job on keeping the weight off you skinny thing! Love the new hairdo!!
Kimberly- Love the new do. It looks very cute on you.
Crystal,Tunde - Welcome aboard
Jason- How the heck have you been?!?
Stephanie- Love the new avatar. It's good to "see" you.
Joni- your local competition sounds cool. I hope you find a 5th person.
Angie- Stranger!! Keep coming back here! I too joined in TBL challenge.
Lettie- Welcome home!
First day of TO is going pretty good, nothing to complain about yet.
DH and I watched TBL last night. It was good motivation and an eye opener since I used to be that heavy. At my heaviest, I was bigger than the lady in yellow that was upset because she was the heaviest lady. Never again. I set the DVR for it so I won't miss any of the episodes.
Have a great POP day everybody

Hi Deb!
I watched TBL couples as well. You'd think it would be inspirational, but I managed to have a piece of sees candy during a commercial break?! ACK! BUT the candy is gone, the house is purged and I'm ready to be whole heartedly POP.
I can't wait to move my ticker!

I guess it is going to be a Soup day for lots of people across the US today trying to get warm.
Welcome back Debster. We have missed you. You may have been back a while, but I a have been MIA for a few days due to the Holidays.
Question / Confirmation. I was on Plan 2 using Lunas. I have finally used up all my lunas and am going to kick the $60.00 a month habit. Aren't I suppose to move up to plan 3? Thats what I am starting today, I just wanted somebody to confirm that for me. My Current weight (after Holiday binges) is 149. Yep, Cost me 5-7 pounds. But thats O.K. it was worth it. It will come off in no time and it is the winter right? Aren't we suppose to fatten up to make it through the cold months ahead? Thats what the bears do anyway.

Amylou- Shame on you for the candy, but good for you on purging the house. We went through the kitchen and pantry on Monday evening and threw out all the things that weren't allowed (the dogs got a lot of snacks that night) and none shall be brought back into the house. If I don't see it, I can't eat it!!
Amy- Thanks for the welcome back. I honestly have only been back a few days. What extra do you get on plan 3? I was told that the both lites equaled 1/2 a protein and a starch, but you know everybody gets told something different. But yea, probably moving up to plan 3 would be the right way to go.
It's been in the 30's here in Montana forever, our problem lately is the extremely cold wind. Someone mentioned the 50 mph gusts being so bad where they were, heck that is a breeze up here. I'm cold all the time now, so there are blankets all over the house and I am usually in layers all the time. When I went to work yesterday at 6:30 am it was -3. Brrr cold.

Amylou - Thanks for the warm welcome back! I just went out and did some shopping today, so I'm ready to begin my TO tomorrow. Ready in the fridge anyway, I'm sure my over indulged free-will is in for a shock! I am in the middle of a house cleaning binge too, so it will feel good to clean up my house, my body and hopefully my mind too for the new year.
Katie -- I'm so glad to see you too! It's a little funny, because I'm so happy to have some familiar faces to come back too, but I'm sorry too, because I know it means that you are in the same boat as I am. You're right, we can start fresh together.
Dan -- Good to see you! I see you've been still patrolling the neighbourhood for salt offenders...good work! Yes, bad food slowly crept back into our house and our life in the name of 'convenience'...and drive-thrus became a part of our lives again, but that's behind me now. The cupboards are junk free, the bread is full of fibre, the fridge is full of fruit...I'm ready to go.
Felicia -- Your photo looks great! I can see such a difference in your lovely face. You must have been doing good work over the last few months.
Joni -- Hi there! Good to see you here, I missed you, and really appreciated you checking in on me while I was gone. Thanks! Your new challenge with your friends sounds very motivating, good luck in that.
MTDeb -- I'm so glad you are still posting too. I watched TBL last night too, I'm working up all my motivation to do well this time around. Isn't it amazing the amounts of weight they lose? Is that in one week??? I tried to check out their website to see what kind of eating/exercise plan they were doing exactly, but of course, you have to subscribe. I didn't do it, but I still might. I never sweat like that when I work out...maybe I should!
Our New Years Eve was quiet and completely sober for me. We just hung out with my mom and my aunt and our son. We played yahtzee and watched movies...nice and quiet. My resolution will be to pay off debt and save some money. I find I'm always so stressed about money, and I need to do something to make myself feel more at ease, even if it involves some uncomfortable belt tightening. I expect some happy consequences from that one too...feeling less stressed about money will make it easier not to overindulge in food since I won't be as stressed. Plus, I'll try to find more free fun things to do...more trips to the park or snow fun (skating, sledding) with Cameron is a plus since it means more time/focus on him, and also some fun exercise. More exercise is also a resolution, although I started it just a few weeks ago when I got a treadmill for Xmas. I really feel like not exercising really held me back last time I started this plan.
Hi to Paula, Emily, Debbie, Alannah (we got that same dumping of snow you mentioned), Karen, Michelle, Crystal, Jason, Stacy, Rose, Kimberly, Lettie! (I love flylady!), Stephanie, Tunde, Evette, & Amy!
Happy New Year!

Happy New Year all my 3 fat chick LAWL friends!
Thank goodness the holiday madness has now passed!!!! I did not do so great this year eating healthy over the holidays. So time to recommit to eating healthy and not letting the fact that I slipped a bit turn into allowing myself to return to being obese. I many never be model thin, but I can be a healthier and fit me. I did exercise like crazy, so at least I burned off a few of the bad things I ate....
Kimberly, love the new hair cut and you are looking great.
Amy, I think that if we return to eating healthy that most of the holiday weight gain will be gone within a week. I already feel lighter after just one day of eating back on plan.
Good to see all the old timers back to check in for the new year!

Happy New Year! I've been MIA for a week or so because of the holidays. I was all set to get back on track by doing TO today and tomorrow when I came down with a horrible cold yesterday / last night. Just didn't think I could manage without some fruit / vitamin C... I am eating on plan though and have been getting my water in which is WAY MORE than I have done since Thanksgiving Good to know that all of you are back on or never left the wagon of good eating habits. Hope that 2008 is the year we all reach our goals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello All
Amy- You're right.. it is freezing here! I think a lot of the problem is the up and down on the temps... But, it's just too much for me!
Lettie- Glad you made it back safe and sound from your vacation. I'm going to have to check out Flylady and see what it's all about.
Hi to everyone else
I'll go back thru the posts later, I'm at work right now and really shouldn't even be on here.. But.. I must go feed my other addiction (myspace) right quick while I have a minute!

That is too funny. Sounds like the kind of stuff I do. At least it is gone now, right?

Deb- We have been having similar weather here as well. A lot more snow than recent years too, which thrills the farmers. My DH bought us a Hummer H2 on Halloween. I have been hating the gas mileage, but I really love it now that the roads have gotten so crappy. It feels so warm and safe.
Evette- So goo to see you around. You look fantastic, and as always, my shero!
Angie- I am amazed at how easily I have slipped back into being naughty. I have one pair of jeans and one pair of work pants that fit. I am fighting with buying more or getting by until I shrink back into the piles of cute clothes that I am not fitting into right now. I do not want to own this weight, you know?
Stacy- I did in home daycare for about 7 years, then quit to direct a large commercial center. I just put my notice in to owner of the center. I am quitting there to open up at home again. I have had a hard time at the center. I have been there for 1 1/2 years now, and still do not have a contract in writing. The owner is constantly trying to change what he wants to pay me, among other things. Anyway, I liked working for myself more. I am more able to trust my own intuition and do what I see fit. Also, I make a lot more money this way. So......Jan 31 is my last day there, Feb 1 is my first day back home. I can't wait.
News Years Intentions- Meditate for at least 15 minutes a day, become financially free, do something nice for myself everyday, no matter what, keep a journal, move my body everyday, and apply the flylady techniques to keep myself more organized.
Keep on keeping on, everyone!!!!

Kim - I missed the beginning of TBL, but caught the last hour of TBL - it just didn't feel like a Tuesday night! The show was good and, as always, I enjoyed watching. Funny, I saw those DVDs on QVC while channel flipping. I never watch that show cause I'd go broke for sure.
Amy - The Better Weight Challenge is organized by our county recreation department. I've got my fifth member and our team will go do our weigh in this Saturday morning! I'm excited about this because it's a little unique and it's for the long haul....five months and once again, I'm the leader of our little team so I have to be somewhat accountable. I really want to make this work!
Amy the Bear - it's frickin freezing in Atlanta too. Single digits tonight. I'm not going anywhere!! brrrrrrr. Sorry I cannot help with the plan numbers, but I, too, don't do the bars and think added 1 protein and a veggie to compensate for the lack of a bar (I see someone said a starch, but I think I opted for the better exchange - a veggie).
I must confess...I picked up a couple of those FiberOne bars (the chewy gooey ones) at the Dollar Store last night and they are so good. I still love my sweets.

Brother Dan - As God is my witness, if you do this I will come!! LOL
Stacy - Repo Girl / Katie does daycare. If I did daycare, there would probably be no children left in this world....JUST KIDDING
OMG Evette -- you cut off all your hair!! Looking good girlfriend and we are still so very proud of you!
Angie - good to have you back. I've always loved your avatar picture....how old is Cameron now?
Katy - Onederland by Valentine's day....great goal and you can DO IT!
Katie - can I steal all your resolutions? I really, really need to figure out a way to relax, meditate, etc. I'll start slow and say I'll make it to one yoga class per week.

Hello all and HAPPY NEW YEAR.
I haven't been on in a couple of days. I still need to catch up on my reading but wanted to chime in. I hope that everyone had a great New Years day. I went to weigh in today and was down 1.2 lbs. So, that is 13 3/4 for the 4 weeks I have been on plan and I have lost 6 1/2 inches. I was so happy to see a loss since I didn't do so well New Year's eve. Well, I better go cook dinner and I will try to check in later.

Joni - Yea I guess am lucky I dont have a QVC card, because it would be MAXED out. I'm a pushover when it comes to infomercials and such, (By the way DONT buy the H20 mop...)
Dan - I am so LMBO at you and your revival...
So I shined my sink today... And it kicked off a whole kitchen shining... But Im still not sure that I am motivated enough for day 2 just yet... Tomorrow is my last day to be lazy before I go back to work!
Hi Evette and Angie!
Good Job on being down at WI Dionne!
Hi back to ya Emily!
Thanks for all the hair comments.. I still have mixed feelings about it! Especially on days when I dont want to fix it, and CAN'T pull it back into a ponytail!
Where are you again Katie.. Somedays I just need someone to take the little one for a while (and not complain about it...lol)
Katy - When I was sick I made the egg drop soup that is in the Cookbook. If you dont have the recipe PM me and I will give it to you. It made me feel lots better!
I love the bible reading websites. So far I have signed up for one, but keeping the others in mind...
Welcome to the newbies, and those who have just kinda been astray for a while! It seems everyone is updating their avatars, for the new year perhaps, We look AWESOME!!

Hi all! No time for personals!
I will go to WI tomorrow. And let me tell you, I am nervous. I haven't been in since Sat. And I had such a huge drop I am sure it was too good to be true. So wish me luck. I will try and check in tomorrow with the results. I put up a picture finally, or I mean Avatar. I am noticing I look really pale. Ha! I need a TAN! Have a great day!
