Well I got on the scale this morning after a week of working out and following points (except for yesterday - bday party)wasslightly disappointed! I have lost 1.5, but was kind of expecting more! I have really hit the workingout hard, gone 3 miles every day but Friday. Maybe I am just retaining more water b/c of the workouts? I have no idea...anyway weigh in is tomorrow so I will see how it goes! Congrats on the losses everyone!

A healthy is loss is 1-2 pounds per week, so please do not be disappointed! A 1.5lb loss is a great loss

Hey Flexy ladies!

I'm going to be a little MIA from the Flex chat for a while. I am switching to Core for the time being as I am going insane with all the numbers. I'll still check in with you guys from time to time but I might mostly be a reader (I want to keep track of how you all are faring!).

alliez on the loss!!!

Just because I talked about how I don't use my bonus points, I used some of them last night.

Made some really good oven fried chicken (WW recipe) last night! It was the afternoon snacking that killed my day...

alliez- I agree with modkitten, you should aim for that number, that is the most healthy way to lose, a little at a time. Keep it Up

Suite- Good Luck on Core. Hope it helps.

Hello everyone, still chugging on along here. It's been a hectic week so I haven't been online much. But I'm happy to be back checking in again and seeing how everyone is doing.

I'm inching closer to Onederland, hopefully just a few more weeks.

I have to take my very sick kitty to the vet this afternoon, and she may not be coming back home with me. It's a hard day.

suite: awwww we will miss you!!

Kim L: the snacking usually kills me too...I try to round out how many points for snacks I can have, and that way I keep track of them before going over. For example, I try to use 8 points for breakfast, 8 for lunch, 6 for dinner, and 7 for snacks.

kestrel: wow you are soclose to onederland! you can do it...and sorry about your cat...that's rough


-Well as for me, I haven't had time to do much concentrated working out because of my new job. I am getting used to commuting back and forth. So mostly I have just been doing a one to two mile walk every day for exercise. I walked the 1.3 miles to work today in 20 minutes, which isn't bad. My eating has been okay. I am worried that I might have to start using more flex points in the future because of my new 7am wake up time. I wake up at 730 am and go to sleep at 12pm...so it's a long day!

mind if I join in on the Flex talk? I've been doing it since July 08...

I am so pumped right now! My hard work payed off this week! Just got home from weigh in - down 4.6! Now I am totally motivated for another week!
Welcome Jenny, its so nice to have other to talk to that are in the same boat!

Snacking issue: we got a sample of the garlic pretzels today! Awesome, I bought 2 boxes!

Hope everyone has a great week!

So it was ridiculously slow at work last night which resulted in me eating way more then I should of and using up the rest of my bonus points... to make things even worse... I have my weigh in tonight!!!

Alliez~ CONGRATS!!!

JennyG~ WELCOME!!!

vdaybaby~ Thanks for the suggestion, I'll try rationing starting this coming week!

Wish me luck with my weigh in!!!

My kitty's cancer came back. She had a tumor removed a year ago so I guess we got an extra year to love her, but now it's back and throughout her lungs and liver. I have to go in about an hour and have her euthanized, she's suffering so much and I don't want her to be hurting anymore. This is so hard, she's been with me through college, getting my first job, marriage, 3 kids, and 4 states including a cross-country move. I know I need to let her go so she won't suffer any more, it's just so incredibly hard to say goodbye to my furbaby.

kestrel- I'm so sorry,

jennspear, So happy to have you join us. There is plenty of support, and everyone here is so helpful. If a boost is what you need, you will find it here. Good Luck
