Hi Chicks~~
i've had a hard time (again) with this Netscape connection, so i could not post. I am walking 3 miles every day, and still working on losing a bit with the 2 shakes a day. But for some reason i am just maintaining again. I should do measurements to compare from last month and see if it is there...?
Of course alot of days i end up eating twice and only having one shake! so that might be the big problem. It is certainly hard to lose what we've kept for so long!

It has gotten quite hot for me in Ariz. near 90 for 2 days now. I guess cause i live in a small trailer it feels worse than it would in a real house too! Got to get to the pool today.

May you all have a fantastic strong day today!
bye for now,
thinlizzie

Hello Ladies,
Sorry I was MIA for a few days. Went away on a short business trip. Not doing too good on my food this week. With this trip, I was totally unprepared, so of course I ate junk. Tomorrow i'm getting back on track. Now just to get back on track with the exercise. Tomorrow plans are to clean house and maybe plant a few flowers and tomato plants in containers. Last year I had several tomato plants and they did really good.

Thin - Wow 90degress already! When do you all head back home? WTG on getting your 3 miles in.

Shad - thanks for dropping by. I too would love to visit Mooz, but unfortunatly not in my budget either.

Nita - Let us know how your weight in goes tomorrow. I too need to weigh in tomorrow.

Mooz - Sounds like the book is giving you a different view on how to think of food.

Hope everyone is having a great day!

Hello ladies,
Can't believe how fast this day is going by. This morning I ran lots of errans to the garden centers, post office, grocery store etc. Picked up potting soil and some flowers and tomato plants. Now I have to plant them. Tomorrow I guess I'll clean house.

Hope everyone is having a great saturday!

Hi 1 Day,

It must be just you and me today! You didn't tell me about your weigh-in. I lost 3 lbs. and met my friend there so perhaps that will give me motivation.

We just had a repairman out to check our washer because it was leaking. Even though it is only 6 years old he said it sounded like the transmission was making a noise and may go out at any time so we opted to get a new Whirlpool Washer through him and he will install it and take away the old one for $423.00. We didn't think that sounded too bad.

Well I had better get moving--while he was here I had him clean the back of our refrigerator--he was only going to show me how to do it--instead he did the whole thing. I couldn't believe the dirt that was underneath. However, now it is all cleaned up.

Take care and I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend!
Anita

Hello Ladies,

Nita - I missed by weigh in. I had scheduled a contractor to come out and give me some estimates for a patio for early saturday morning. He was running late and by the time he came it was late. I'm thinking of going today but it's a 2pm checkin. I know there will definely be a weight difference with me usually checking in the am vs the pm. WTG for you 3 lb loss.

Mooz - Hope you and your mom get to feeling better. The linedancing event sounds like fun.

We're expecting rains this afternoon, so I plan on repotting some plants this morning before the rains come.

Hope everyone is having a great day!

here is a photo of me and blackie, I tried to upload a better one, but it was too big.

Mooz, if you click on it, it makes it a little bigger. I will work on the other one i have.

Hope everyone is having a great day!

Hi Everyone,

Just a quick note to let you know I am hanging in there and my eating is in control. I find if I take the time to make my sugar-free desserts I do much better.

HalGal -- It's great to hear from you and I know what it is to do all that exercise and not feel like you are losing weight. I have been doing the treadmill at least four times a week and yesterday I even did it twice in one day. However, since we are toning up we are also building muscle and the scale isn't going to go down as fast. The good news is--take your measurements and check them in a month or so and you should see a difference there.

Well our electricity had been off and it just came back on--I need to re-set clocks, etc. However, I did find out my laptop battery still works.

Hopefully the rest of our group is still with us and with each other's support we can all get to our desired goals!

Take care,
Anita

Hello Ladies,

Hal - I'm sure you sister and the boys were glad to have you up for a week. WTG on getting all your walks in. If Rocky is like my Blackie I sometimes have to hide the leash, otherwise he just lays right in front of it. Like Nita said you might not of lost any lbs, but you know your toning up. Just keep at it. Eventually it will all come in place.

Nita - Like you said we need to take the time to get our sf desserts in and our meals. I know I do much better when i have prepared foods on hand.

Thin - Blackie weighs about 40-43 lbs. He's a chow mix. In the summer I get his hair cut short and pretty much keep it that way til winter. With his short hair he looks alot smaller. WTG on your 12 lb loss. Cat should be coming home soon.

As for me. I'm doing terrible on my foods. It's that TOM and I have used that as my excuse this week. I have got to get back on track with my eating. Tomorrow a new day right?

Hope everyone is having a great day!

Hi Ladies,

It's great to read all your posts. Trust me, I know how hard it is to get these pounds off. Thin, congratulations on your 12 lb. loss--how is your mother-in-law doing with LA Weightloss?

Today at bowling one of the ladies was celebrating her birthday and her daughter brought in a whole bunch of chocolate cupcakes! She knew I went back to WW and was not offended when I opted not to have one! One thing I have been doing is keeping some trail mix in my car and if I am out shopping and think I am hungry I will eat some of this. I read this in one of my weight magazines. I think though from here on in I will be making my own. It really isn't hard and you can even add a few M&M's to it.

Tonight I am going to be making salad and using Tyson chicken strips to make it a whole meal. They had buy-one, get-one free at our grocery store this week. At the same time I will be making a salad for me to take to lunch tomorrow, along with a small yogurt.

Well I had better get moving.

Take care,
Anita

Hi, Chicks--

Well, I didn't get lost in Mexico, but when I tried to go to 3fC on my friend's computer, everything jammed with pop-ups and I thought I would NEVER get out. I also had very little access period, so mostly used it for my family.

I ate pretty well down there, and while I didn't walk much--not that the neighborhood was dangerous, but the streets were terribly confusing), but I did a lot of yoga, and my clothes feel looser. I will weigh in tomorrow.

I don't guess I'll ever catch up with everything that has happened on the thread, but I'll be on now.

Will tell you some things about Mexico, though mostly you can look on my blog if you're interested.

I brought a kitten back with me. Why? Long story. But he is SO cute and loving.

Love to all,

Catlover (Amadora de Gatos)
