  • Hello everyone!


    At one time, we all weighed in on Thursday. Now we are all pretty much doing our own thing, but we are still together on this thread.

    Please feel free to join us!
  • Morning all,
    Tammy, thanks so much for starting us off. Wow, it's February!
    It's time to exercise a little bit more before V Day.

    I've been strictly OP this week and (drum roll please) I've lost 2 pounds!!!
    Journaling and exercise do the trick for me.
    Susan, how is your family? Are you still going to Sat. meetings?

    Maureen, are you getting your exercise going up and down the stairs in your apt building? I'll bet the temp is still attrocious.

    Jeanne, I liked your fb pic of you wearing red.

    Everyone please come on in and post.
    Sis, Dori, farmgirl............

    Now, I think that I'll change my tracker.
  • Hi ladies! I was under the weather all day!
    It's snowing here again! We are suppose to get 3"-5". Bob shoveled twice already and said we easily had 3" by 4:00 today.
    Tina - thank you for liking my fb pic! Everyone in the office was wearing red for national wear red day/American heart association....my mom died at 58 from heart disease.
    Well nothing else going on here in our corner of the world! Have a great night!
  • Tina, that is great about the 2 pounds!

    Jeanne, sorry you weren't feeling well. I am glad that I am not home in the snow.

    I am at Disney now till Friday. My cousin is coming down from Ohio tomorrow. She has been trying to diet also, so I am hoping that we can make some smart choices this week. I know for sure we'll get plenty of walkking! My weight was still the same this morning before I left Jekyll. Should have brought my scales with me!
  • good for you Tina- I've had some bad days lately - I just have to stop it and get serious - as soon as I get home today I'm changing into my sweats and walking the halls. I'm tracking and really watching - I know we can do this I just have to stop getting discouraged and asking what for? I know what for!! i want to stay healthy and feel good!

    so today's another day and we can do this we're worth it

  • Hi group,
    Tammy, have fun and walk a lot. .

    Jeanne, I'm so sorry you've been sick. I hope you are better now!

    Maureen, We've just got to keep at this. We can do this!!!

    I was so tired today---too much Super Bowl, I guess.
    So, tomorrow, I'll get back to the exercising. We had Chinese food tonight. Hope I don't have water retention tomorrow. That feels so yucky.

  • Just a quick fly by to say hi! Have a nice day!
  • you too Jeanne and everyone else. Today we are strong!!! we can do this
  • Hi everyone,
    It was a rainy day here. Instead of walking, I cleaned floors and washed clothes. Fun, huh!

    Let's each see the scales go down this week!!!
  • good morning all

    I booked my flights for Calgary & Edmonton for May - I fly to Calgary 18 May take the greyhound up to Edmonton on the 20th in the late afternoon and fly back to Ottawa from Edmonton on the 25-I'm looking forward to the visit with my sons. it's been over a year(Dec) that I came back to Ottawa-

    let's all have a great day on program we're worth it

  • Yay to your trip Maureen.
    Another crazy week for me. I went from loving my job to dreading it. I feel so bad about it too!
    Bobs grandma is in the hospice wing of the nursing home. They took her off all meds. Last night she was quite responsive & talkative. They haven't told her yet that she is in that wing or why she isn't taking her daily meds. Which is frustrating for her. So my prayer warriors....keep on prayin for her comfort!
  • Hi group,

    Jeanne, I am so sorry about Bob's grandmother. That's so hard to go through.
    What's up with your work? What happened? Do tell us!

    Maureen, wow, can I get in your case and go, too. Take lots of photos for us to see.

    Question---Do y'all write down and count every little thing you eat? I've been doing that. Yesterday I went wild and bought one of those heart-shaped Russell Stover candies. It said it was red velvet flavored. It was not red velvet but tasted good. Well---it cost me 5 pts!!!!! But, I journaled it.
    Drum roll - I lost another 1 pound this week. I am soooo thrilled.

    Susan, where are you?
    Tammy, I know you are on-the-go but do post!

  • Jeanne, sorry about Bob's grandmother. Poor thing. What's up with the job?

    I got back to Jekyll this afternoon. I'll try to be better about posting. It was great spending time with Amy (my cousin) at Disney. We had so much fun!
    We walked LOTS! She wore her pedometer, and our lowest day was 7 1/2 miles.
  • Tina, way to go on another pound! Yes, I have been journaling everything that I eat.

    Tim and Lauren will be here on Saturday. I am going to spend time this week boxing up things to send home with them so I won't have so much the end of March. I brought several sweaters, and I am rarely wearing sweaters, so those are going to Ohio. Also sending all of the books that I have read.
  • Tammy do you drive to where you are now?
    Hope everyone's having a great sunday. Hopefully that's it for snow storms for a bit!!
