Mickey Mouse tattoo!? Well if it is something you really want. I think I would rather not be jabbed by a needle! But Disney World sounds really good.

I have not thought about a reward. I have done really well this morning. I ate small breakfast and small lunch. Nothing really diet. I am not turning into a rabbit this time. I agree with what you said about portion control. Eat regular food and less of it.

I will check back. I have been trying to walk some in the mornings. We are raising a fair lamb and he needs to walk to keep him from getting too fat.

Talk to you later

Scooter where are you? I know you are not at the fair eating funnel cake.

I hope you are doing ok. I am worried about you. Don't work too hard and enjoy the 4th of July!!

P.S. Guess what I did today?? I went for a bike ride. I felt really good to be getting some exerise

Sorry I haven't been posted lately. I have been babysitting when I get off work...When your sister has 5 kids under the age of 10 that is a calorie burner! I am doing pretty good. I have been drinking lots and lots of water.

I LOVE TO BIKE RIDE!!...I was actually thinking today I need to find my bike rack. I am hoping I can go for a ride on Friday if it doesn't rain. I am sick of rain but I am also tired of 90 degree weather. But that is what you get when it is July.

I am getting so tired from work. The other lady in the office has been off for two weeks. So I have had a double load. It is also hard because I sit at a desk for 8 hours. That really drains you it gives you a mental drain. That just zaps your energy. I am hoping I can start making myself ride my bike when I get home. Monday the lady gets back so my stress will be relieved.

I wish I didn't have a sedentary job but I make money so its what I got. I was hoping I could have started the gym by now but we are waiting till my Dad gets the money so we can join together and get a better rate.

I have been managing my portions and cutting down on snacks. If I do snack its a few pretzel snacks. I appreciate you being worried!! That means alot!...I hope all is going well with you. And I didn't eat a funnel cake...LOL I hope it isn't too rainy in WV.

Well the clock just hit midnight I got to hit the sack. Take care. And keep up the good work!!

Scooter

Glad you are back. I was wondering if you were working and babysitting. I am sure your sister apprecaiates your help. I would imagine that she really depends on you.

I hear you about the secendary job. I have one too! You are sooooo mentally drained that at the end of the day you feel really tired. But, of course, you don't have the energy. I don't know how you keep up with 5 kids after work.

You're like the Kentucky Wonder Woman!

We really enjoyed ridding the bikes yesterday. We want to try out one of West Virginia's rail trials. Have you heard of them? I don't know for sure they might be part of the park system. But they are old rail roads with the tracks removed and you can walk or bike on them. They go for miles, but you can do just part of the trail. But I think I will have to build up to it..... That little bike seat hurts my big seat!!

Anyway I have done pretty well with my portions both yesterday and today. I need to drink more water. I have had iced tea today. Taste good...but water really helps take the weight off. Even though it will make you weigh more. So don't get discurraged if you are drinking plenty.

This hot weather is killing me. (not really)
I bet we have much to same weather. We had a terribly wet June, even cold on some days....Now for the past week mostly hot and dry. Yesterday, where we were bike ridding the sky grew very dark and it looked like it was going to pour the rain. But we had none. Where my husband was working on up the river they had a really hard rain.

I am located close to the Ohio river.

Take care. Don't stay up too late.
P.S. I like your picture with your puppy. I love dogs. We have a part Border collie. (spoiled, of course)

I want a buddy also! Just for support and advise. For good recepies and to get to know eachother. My sn is katiewatie8902.

Sunny I hear you LOUD and clear about the bike seat...You have to ride your Bike regularly so that your rump will get used to it. But I am back to sore rump...

I kept up with my water...I did have pizza for lunch. It was free and I only had two pieces. It was vegtable so it wasn't as bad. My next battle is if my mom makes banana pudding tomorrow. Are you doing anything exciting for July 4th?..

Last year we went to our family reunion in Townsend, TN in the Smoky Mountains. And the main road was lit all the way down with fireworks! We rode our bikes up and down the sidewalk to see all the different ones.

Hey we have something incommon we both live by the Ohio River...LOL Your weather sounds exactly like ours! I thought I was going to have to break out my winter clothes in JUNE! Now it is so humid it is miserable. It is very hard to exercise in this weather. Especially since I don't have an air conditioner.

Hopefully I will get a chance to get on tomorrow. I have to babysit in the morning. Plus we are having a suprise Retirement party for my dad on Saturday. It is so hard to keep stuff from my dad.

Well take care!!

Scooter

Welcome Kate!

Where are you from? Tell us something about yourself.

Scooter

I hope your Fourth of July as good! I stayed to on helping so I didn't go overboard. My dad's party was a smash. We had appetizers basically cracker and cheese so I was okay there. Hope you are doing well!

Scooter

Hello Sunny? Can you hear me?...

I hope you didn't go overboard on the Fourth of July. No need to hide......I drank more coke than I needed lately but its been so hot I have been grabbing what I can get a hold of.

Well I hope you are doing okay.

Scooter

I am back!

Hi Scooter and Katie!!

I went to the mountains for the traditional family picnic where there is a ton of food. I only ate a half ton. Not really. I actually did pretty well. We have been soooo busy.

Friday we actually was at home and went to a ball game with fireworks. Very nice. Drank water and did not go over board.

Then Sat. we went to the mountains. I did not really go over board. The desserts were good. But I only had a little. As for food I only ate one hot dog. Then I remembered....this is the side of my husbands family that cannot cook. Everything looks good. Taste like sawdust.

Then Monday........I worked my fingers to the bone....guess who has came for a visit? My mother-in-law. She is really a lot of fun. We go shopping. But the big thing is her house is like "eat off the floor" clean. My house is like eat off the floor cause that is where the food fell.

So now today we are just coming home from shopping where I bought nothing I needed. OK maybe I did need the mat to put the barn boots on. Who knew they made such a thing.

Scooter. You sound like you are doing great. You have such a positive up-beat attitude. I can't wait to see the tattoo. P.S. One of my husbands cousins is appearently a tattoo artist. He and his girl friend had tons of tattoos. I thought gee that had to hurt.

Katie I can't wait to hear more from you. Tell us everything..... Scooter and I won't pry. We just want to know the basics. Married? Family? Job? What part of the country do you live in?
Hobbies? Been dieting long? What program? How are you doing? OK, sorry we want to know everything!

Oh and one parting thought. My mother-in-law is on WW too. So that really helps.

I got the queen of good mother-in-laws.

Sunnygirl.........only lately it is hot sweaty girl.

Hey!

Everything is going great here!

I walked two miles today! Boy do my feet hurt. I have flat feet so walking a long time hurts my feet. Plus being overweight doesn't help!

I also have a bad tendency to buy stuff I don't need when I am shopping. Sounds like you and your mother in law really get along.. Thats good some people are not to happy about them.

I haven't been able to weigh at TOPS I have had to babysit. And my scale at home doesn't go to my weight . But some day soon I will be able to weigh at home. I have been babysitting at night so I can't go to TOPS.

Well once again tomorrow I have jury duty...Hopefully it won't be a long day. But I won't hold my breath.

Keep up the good work!

Scooter

Walked two miles!! you go girl! No wonder your feet hurt. I have been walking too. But it is my hip joints that hurt. Of course, I am older than you!

Yes, my mother-in-law and I had a good time shopping. We ate out. I had a roast beef sandwich the first day and baked potato the second.

We had to cut down a really large tree in our yard. So I have been working really hard to clean up from that. I wonder how many "touch-your-toes" all that picking up tree limbs is worth?

I am looking forward to being home all day. I have so many things to catch up on. Mostly laundry. But I need to work on my on-line class, and help my son finish up his 4-H projects.

Maybe I will post again later!

Hello everyone,
I haven't been on in awhile, due to some health problems, but I am back!. it was nice reading all of your posts, and I'm glad i got caught up. You both sound like you are doing well. I've lost 37 so far thru WW. I'm doing well enough, I suppose, but it's not going as fast as i would like it. I keep telling myself that it didn't go one overnight, and it certainly won't come off overnight either. *L* sometimes that works, sometimes it doesn't *L* I think i am in major need of a peptalk. Hope to chat with you again...bye
Chrissy

Pep....get your Pep here!!

Yes, it is good to hear from you Christabelle! I think we are doing OK on our diets. It is so hot we are drinking water like it is going out of style!

WW is a good program and that is what I am following. It meets my needs. I have to cook for the family and just cannot afford to buy special foods. So I just count the points.

Do you get so you can do it in your head?

Take care! I will be back later. I am taking a clas online so I pop in to check the postings now and then.

Everyone! We are so getting awesome!

Hey Sunny and Chrissy!

Chrissy I am glad to see you back!! Don't worry that is always the most dreaded thing about dieting is that you don't get instant results. I think that has always been a big thing with my dieting. I wasn't seeing it so I just quit. BUT GUESS WHAT WE ARE NOT GOING TO LET YOU QUIT... Sometimes you just hit a rut...and we are here to fill in the rut.....

So I found a scale that goes up to my weight. And BOY do I like it better than the TOPS scale. But I haven't been to TOPS in about a month or two so I am not sure the difference. And when you are at home you can wear pajamas ... I stepped on it and it said 316!!!!!!!!

Let me tell you I did a little dance!! And if I give blood on Sunday I will lose another pound...LOL...Well it is late I just had to tell you!!

What online class are you taking, Sunny? I think I asked before but I can't remember .

Have a good Saturday...

Scooter
