Essie ~ Hope you're doing better and I'm so sorry you're going through a rough time.
Dianne ~ oh, I agree! Looking too far ahead can be discouraging. If I look at it as "I need to lose 45 pounds", I get depressed. But my mini goals, like "the next 10-mark" are more attainable. I also have a remarkable and wonderful support source (other than you guy... ...) and that is my Savior....so I am on my way!!
Myra ~ don't worry about your meeting. I'll bet you'll do fine. I'm not an exercise person myself.
Jen ~ WTG!!!! GREAT JOB!!! Yes, I am floating! Ha! I go to the bathroom so many times during my work day. This water is running right through me. <IMG SRC="http://www.3fatchicks.com/ubb//lol.gif"> As for the exercise, I lost 47 lbs last year without one bit of exercise so I just don't do it. (I know, I should for health and heart reasons)
Well, time to get off here and relax alittle before beddy bye time. Have a great Wednesday. Tomorrow night is my weigh in... Can't wait!!!
Hi to everyone else!!!!

I'm so proud of you!
Where did the spinning head come from? I love it! Oh, I just found the new smilies. Too cute!!!!!!
Dianne,
Yes, y'all sound so motivated. This is great! That is funny about the points. Don't miss them as much as we thought huh?
Myra,
Good luck with your weigh in. Hope your car gets fixed soon. I know how it feels to have a routine messed with. Good luck!
Essie,
You don't sound like yourself hon. I hope you are feeling better!!! {{{{{HUGS}}}}}
You are so right about the program. Quick fixes don't last. WW is definately the way to go. Great head on your shoulders.
Zoe,
Love your slit idea. Maybe I'll add a slit on that mini. I don't thnk Bruce would let me out of the house. LOL
Good luck with your minin goals. That is the only way to do this. Nice little goals. Lots of celebrations.
Kids go back to school tomorrow! That will let me get on the pc more. YEAH! I will miss them. Do you believe it? http://www.3fatchicks.com/ubb//insane.gif hehehe

WOW!!!!!! Great weigh-in!!! I'll bet you felt great! {{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}
You are getting it done in 2001. Congratulations ZOE! How is your motivation now? You boosted mine.
Terri
Zoe - Good Lord!! 8 lbs?? that's amazing, girl. Congratulations. Bet you are really glad you came back after getting that news. That is wonderful! Keep up the great work.
Essie -- how are you hon? Miss your posts. Hope things are beginning to look up for you.
Jen, Terri, Myra -- Hi guys -- hope you are all doing well.
So far, since January 2 (our fresh start day), I'm doing good, staying on program and feeling really good. This sunday, hopefully will be my first weight loss since last november, I hope, I hope. But even if I stay the same, I'll feel okay. Not great mind you, but okay.
Thank God it's Thursday!!!! This is the end of the week for me since I only work Monday thru Thursday.
You Guys are doing great.
Zoe, clap, clap, clap. clap, clap!!!! Great job!! Once I lost 7 in a week. I asked the receptionist to weigh me again cause I couldn't believe it. I tried to think what I did differently that week & I had cut back on carbs.
Jen, you did really well also!! Are you eating at the high range or the low? I find myself hungry all the time. Then again, it's my choices of food. I haven't been eating my fruits or vegetables I woke up very puffy today. I'm retaining water for some reason. As soon as I sign off I have to plan my daily menu. Congrats to your loss.
Myra, hope your weigh in goes well tonight. Sorry about the stress at home Hope things get back to normal soon. I've been exercising at home but the past couple of days I haven't had the energy mentally. Each day gets better. I'll workout with one of Billy Blanks basic videos this evening.
Exercise helps me alot!
Terri, size 12?! YESSSSSSSSSSSS You'll be wearing that black dress in no time. I always picture myself in a black fitted dress. My nephew is getting married in Sept. & that's my goal, to be able to buy a slinky dress with nothing bulging out.
Dianne, thanks for your concern. I'm doing much better. Prayer always works
Well, time to get ready for work. Have a great day guys
Hugs to everyone,
Essie

Zoe, what an incredible weight loss! You must be on cloud nine! Cross your fingers for my weigh in tonight.
Essie, I also have been doing some of Billy Blanks' tae bo videos since I've been homebound. They are pretty good, aren't they? I still rather kickboxing at the gym, but they are a good substitute.
Myra, my fingers are crossed for you for tonight...good luck!
Essie, it's good to see your post, and that you're feeling better. You will be in a sexy slinky dress for that wedding in the fall, I just know it! I'm in the 24-29 points range, and have been eating at about 27/28/29 (LOL) Our leader said to strive for the middle of the range, but I find that I am snacking after dinner if I stay at 25/26. Enjoy your day off tomorrow!
Dianne, Terri, hi!!! You're so right about having good and not so good days (yesterday was one of those for me). But, the important thing is to focus on the next meal, not the next day or week. We'll do that and succeed!
I'm having dental work done, had a tooth extracted this morning, and now the novocaine is wearing off..it's starting to hurt! Looks like soup and yogurt for the rest of the day.
Jen,
So sorry about your dental work. Look at the bright side. It helps with the points. http://www.3fatchicks.com/ubb//umm.gif
I am in the 20-25 point range and I have been doing about 22. Today I will stay at 20. I haven't been too hungry today. I am pre-programming myself to eat when hungry. That was hard after traveling and not having any kind of schedule. The old stomach was hungry a lot.
Another busy day at work. Run, run, run, rush, rush, rush. So hubby said, how about, if you haven't planned anything for dinner yet, we have SubWay? Ok, I go get the SubWays...(sandwiches for them, SubWay turkey breast salad for me) and now, I feel like I am in great need of a "sit on the sofa, watch TV, do nothing" night.
Thank you all for your words of praise It really feels good and I feel GREAT!! I was shocked and amazed myself but I'll take that number any week.
I am having to give the computer over to hubby now. He found these games that he can't let go of. So, unfortunately, I cannot be more personal in this post.....but thank you all for your support here....I am so glad that I came back online.

Myra, I'm so happy for you! One pound is a good loss. Looks as though the new program works for you. Good going
I've got some planning to do for the weekend. Meals pose a challenge when the guys are both home for every meal, and my daughter and her family will be here on Saturday. Everyone likes to snack way too much! In the past I've slacked off when it comes to journalling and meal planning on weekends. If I intend to succeed this time around, I've got to make the weekends work for me.
Enjoy your day, everyone!
