serious? I never noticed a time when I couldn't PM. either I had already had the right number in or that is a new policy. How many posts does one have to have to PM?

Morning All!!!

Lettie i think someone said 25 posts but i dont remember reading that when i joined.

Hope everyone has a POP day!!!

hmmmm guess I have that many! hahahaha

Hi everyone!

Joni- Great job staying OP yesterday, even with the movie.

HeatherCP- Soooo exciting about the adoption.

I am going to take my own advice and make a new list of reasons to lose weight. I will post the thread later today. It will help all of us who are struggling to get with the program.

Have a great day everyone!

I think they started that recently due to spam or something. Both Suzanne and Aphil have forwarded PM's to me telling me that.

Hi ladies (and Dan).

Hope everyone is having a good weekend!

My Leslie Sansone DVD set from QVC came in on Friday and I started her 10 day walking challenge. She has a meal plan, but it is pretty close to what LAWL has me on so I just do the suggested exercise. It really kicks butt! I did the 1 hr/4 mile walk today and I am beat!

I can't wait to weigh myself tomorrow! Don't forget to post your weight on the weigh-in board (if you are participating!) :)

Hello one and all!

I have been working and trying to finish homework this weekend, so no time for the boards! I am taking a quick break to check in though! I miss you guys when I don't post! Hahahaha! Anyway! I have been pretty good for the past few days... I haven't exercised, which makes me sad, but I think I'll be fine!

I went to see Jesus Christ Superstar last night. OMG! Ted Neeley, who played Jesus in the movie (waaaaaaaaaaaaay back in the 70's!) was in the show and he was AMAZING! I have seen a lot of musicals, but this was THE BEST! I think I'm going to see it again tonight! HA! Amazing.

Ok, sorry I don't have time to read any posts, but I hope everyone is doing well and staying POP! Have a great rest of the weekend!

Michelle

Michelle- Oh, I am jealous. I would love to see Jesus Christ Superstar. I have the soundtrack and I love it. My mom went to see it in the 70's in Las Vegas. She loved it too.

Good afternoon everoyone!

Michelle- glad you enjoyed the show! Sounds like fun!

Deb- I cannot thank you enough for the cookbook! It was so much more than I had expected- can't wait to try some!

Kimberly- do you mind if I ask how much the DVDs were? I'm always looking for good workout tapes. Are you just marching in place?

I go back to school tomorrow-not looking forward to it one bit! I'm trying to get my menus in order so I can get back into my routine!

Hope everyone has a nice Sunday!

Jillian- do you have internet in SD yet?

Liza- are you still with us??

Carrie???

Emily?

( a little NS footnote..... for anyone who has lost their COD, and was ever interested in nutrisystem, QVC is offering NS on their Today's Special. it is actually cheeper than when I first signed up in Sept. so I cancelled mine and started new to get the new lower price. they are offering 4 weeks with weekends off (meaning you plan them yourself just like you would with LAWL with a certain amount of protein, starch, fruits veggies... etc) for $167 a month plus taxes and shipping. (shipping is something like $14?? I think and taxes are about $10)

I know that is not in everyones budget but on LAWL I was already spending $8 a week= $32, and the bars were.... how much are they a box now? and the take off juice. $30 a jug? and at first I was buying the supplements. so I spent all together, almost $4000 on LAWL.

My sister and I sat down and looked at what we were spending on going out to eat, our grocery bill, (which even though I have a family with 5 kids. I have dropped that bill now that I don't eat much of what I buy for them, it is amazing) and we almost break even... plus we are losing weight....

so anyway. didn't mean to push NS. but if anyone was ever interested, today is a good day with the Todays Special as low as it is. My friend orders from NS and pays about $300 a month.

Amy - I paid about $30 which includes S&H. You can find them on QVC.com. Just go to the search option and type in "Sansone" it will bring the item up. And don't be fooled by the one review of the product. Apparently the person who wrote it did not open the dvd's. The review says that the band wasnt included nor was the 5th dvd, but they are both inside of the dvd cases.

You do a lot of marching in place along with some jogging, side steps and knee lifts, etc. It really gives you a great workout. It also came with a resistance band, and some of her other dvd's come with weights to use while walking. I love it!

Here is her website. You can get some of her VHS older workouts for really cheap.

Kimberly- I love Leslie Sansone videos also. I boughy mine at Wal-Mart and they didn't include anything but the videos and they kick my butt.

Sorry, I haven't been on in a couple of days. We had to take my daughter to the ER Friday night and got in late and Mardi Gras started here yesterday. My parents and sister ride so we were parading all day yesterday. My DH and I went to the ball last night. I was not POP but I don't think I did to bad and besides I danced all night. I go to WI tomorrow. So, I guess I will see how it affects me.

Well, I better go to cook dinner.

Kimberly – my friend loves the Leslie S WATP tapes too. I have one and I should dig it out of my hardly ever used collection of workout DVDs.

Amy – I’ll definitely keep folks posted on the Diminishing Divas (DDs). So far it has helped me make good choices (granted, this is only day 2, but I just feel like this is going to truly help me!).

Dr. Oz is on Oprah tomorrow (for those that may be interested!)

Also, if anyone likes the idea of a challenge, and they have a KMart in their area, check out http://kmart.com/newday. This is a 12 week contest starting Jan 12-ending Apr 25. You have to be able to go to the KMart this weekend (Jan 12) for your first weigh in. The prizes are great - $10,000 for 1st place, $5,000 for 2nd place, etc. I'm actually considering doing this challenge too...why not...it's free!

Heather CP – I also meant to say congrats on the pending adoption. All the more reason for you to take good care of yourself…so you can keep chasing after your growing family.

I had a good day foodwise! Resisted two amazing, leftover chocolate chip cookies (put them in DH’s lunchbox for tomorrow so I wouldn’t have to look at them and made a point to eat dinner by 6:30 PM. I didn’t make it to the gym today, but it was almost 70 degrees in Atlanta, so I did a bunch of yardwork (at least I didn’t sit on my tushie all day!). I’m tired and am going to tape Desperate Housewives and watch it on the treadmill in the morning. Then I have gym dates with my girlfriend on Tuesday and Thursday night…if I schedule things I’m more apt to do them!

Weigh in tomorrow…..for no known reason I feel bloated, but we’ll see what tomorrow brings! Night all

Joni- so glad to hear how motivated you are! Unfortunately we don't have a Kmart around here- sounds like great prizes!! I'd be up for that....

I'm looking forward to getting started on TBL challenge here on 3FC. I hope to get really into it...

Kimberly- thank you for the info! I think I'm going to order them. I still love TBL2 DVDs but it's nice to switch it up every now and then.

Lettie- that is a great deal on NS! I really disliked the food when my DBF ordered it (for 300/month I think!) a while back. But, I have several family friends who love it and have been successful. Thanks for the FYI!

Hi Dionne! Sorry to hear about your DD, hope she is ok!

I'm still not feeling so hot, I haven't had much of an appetite but have been reaching for anything sweet I can find! No good! But I'm trying to stay OP and get rested so I can make it through this first week of school.

Hope you all are well!

Okay, it was Cameron's birthday today, and despite my good intentions, I ate the cake! I did skip a starch, but still, not my best decision. Here it is though, can you blame me?

I also updated my profile picture with a newer shot of my beautiful boy. The poor little guy was just pooped by the time people left at around 5:00. As he was hugging people goodbye, he'd close his eyes and almost pass out each time.
