  • Good Morning Guys!

    It's quiet in here today if I am the first to post!

    I had a great weekend, nothing that major happened. My front left tire popped off the tirod last night and I had to have a tow. I was blessed though as it didn't come off today in Camden while I was at school. Camden is not the place where you want to stand around waiting for a tow!

    Have a great day!
  • Good morning everyone!
    Last week was my first week back on plan. I didn't do as well as I had hoped, but it is hard to say, I did have half a hot dog last night, so that might be affecting me a little today when I weighed myself. I'm going to try and post on here more often this week, so hopefully that will help.
    Hope everyone has a good day!

    Could someone please remind me what are the sodium/calorie/fat recommendations for a salad dressing to be on plan?
    Thanks!
  • Morning everyone!

    I'm so happy today. I cant believe that possibly next week i'll have less than 10lbs to go to reach my goal. I'm so excited. I am down 1.4lbs from last monday and i couldnt be happier. I put the scale away because it drives me crazy during the week. Every week i start out with a mini goal of not weighing myself until the following monday. Sad to say that by thursday or friday i weigh myself but i'm still doing better than weighing myself daily. I think when i get to 135lbs i'll extend my goal to 130 and then maybe to 125 but we'll see. I'm not going to push it. I think we may even start trying for another baby in July so i would love to start out with that being my healthiest. Ahh the light at the end, i can see it.

    I hope everyone has a wonderful day today and a POP week ahead.
  • WOW! Where the heck is everybody?

    Amy-Glad your tire didnt cause an accident!! You were lucky.

    Good afternoon Gonnabe! Hang in there, you know the plan works!

    Debbie-Great job!!! I wish I could put the scale away it drives me nuts! LOL
  • OMG Kim 2lbs to goal. WTG!!! Wow 66lbs lost, you look great! Bet you are looking forward to maintenance, i sure am looking forward to that day whenever it is.
  • Hi all!

    wow- can't believe there aren't a couple pages here! I had a crazy school-filled weekend. Huge brief due today, research project and a class sat. grr. I hate when my weekends are not real weekends. BUT we did schedule a camping trip next weekend-can't wait!

    Hope everyone had a great weekend. I am feeling more motivated to be back on plan whole-heartedly. I'm ready to drop a few before grad! Back to POP for me. I don't have enough time to be too involved in all the good challeneges I see going on-but good luck to you all!

    Amy-glad you are ok!

    Hi Kim!

    Yay Debbie!

    Ok-off to class!
  • Hi, everyone!

    I've been out of pocket for the last week with computer problems and such. I have been keeping OP pretty well and at WI today was down 1.5 lbs.

    I did a quick read through what I missed last week, so just a few shout outs:

    Dan - Your vacation sounds great. Cute photo with the kids.

    Katie, Liza, Kim - Sorry for your losses of Littles, Buster, and Gator...so sad. Hopefully, you are feeling better this week.

    Tami - Welcome.

    NJ Amy, Aggie, Bre, Tina - Good to see you again...welcome back.

    Hey and hugs to everyone else. Hope we all have a great week!

  • Wow, it's so quiet in here!

    I heard back from my mechanic and i'ts going to cost me about $400. Can't complain!

    Well, I didn't get up early enough to pack snacks to bring to school with me, so I am STARVING. BAD thing, I know! I am going home to make spaghetti squash from Deb's cookbook, it's AMAZING! I'll have a salad with it and call it dinner.

    Dress rehearsal tonight for Little Shop of Horrors. I am playing piano for an area High school that is doing it. I'll be glad when this week is over!

    Have a great day all!

    God bless!
  • Gonnabe- it really helps posting here! Good luck!

    Congrats Debbie! I like the new pic of your boys, they’re adorable, what smiles! Maintenance is in sight!

    Amylou- good luck with all your work, I completely understand! That was my week last week! I actually have no exams or papers due this week, and it feels really weird actually!

    Paula- Welcome back, and thanks for my welcome back!
  • Gosh, I really don't miss school. Good luck to you on your exams!

    I am SWAMPED this week at work. I've had 8 new deals come through in the last 2 days that I have to price. I usually don't get that many in a month.

    They are all due next week too. That's pretty funny if you as me. I'm only one person!!

    Hope everyone is doing well. I've been on track for about a week now. Things are looking good.
  • hey everyone. just checking in for the day. i was at work from 5am-330pm. what a long day. ugh.
    not much else to say at the moment. i'm down another pound today though.
  • Hi guys, I am here, just really busy today. I did get a puppy. He is a chihauhau. His name is Skippy John Jones. He is ten weeks old, and only weighs 1.5 lbs. He is sooo sweet. I will definitely have him neutered as early as the vet will do it. I don't him learning to lift his little teeny leg! I will post a picture after the daycare kids go home.

    Have a great day everyone!
  • i just realized that i'm official at 60lbs lost. wow. never thought i'd see that!
    just thought i'd share!
  • btw..i think it's time for me to drop down a plan..#2? i stopped going to the COD and if i remember correctly they were going to drop me down a plan when i hit the 180's..idk. not sure. i think that's about what i've been eating at for a few weeks now anyway.
    if anyone has any thoughts, let me know!
  • Hello!

    Looks like the week is off to a bang! Great work everybody! I can't wait to post a 'GOAL MET'! post...:-)

    It's going to be another long week at the office. Two hours extra at the end of the day doesn't sound like much, but it can get to you when you work the weekend too....but, it's not going to last that long until the project is done and I can use the extra $$ to add to the vacation account.
    The weekend was slow here..must be everybody had great plans, huh? ;-)

    Amy...that can be scary. Glad you were ok and in a 'good' place to wait for the tow. My ex's family lived in Kirkwood NJ and we used to go about twice a month to visit. Nice place, great people...not too far from Camden, if I remember correctly.

    Katie-congrats on the puppy! Cute name. :-)

    Debbie-I hear ya about the scale....decided I'm not going to check (as long as I'm doing well and feeling good) for as long as I can possibly help it!

    OK...now off to find some dinner...have a good rest of the day!

    Tami
