I always thought I was 5'5"...when they measured me at Curves last March, she told me I was 5'4 1/2"!! (there's ANOTHER thing, Lucky!) It can't be osteoporosis, I drink enough milk to feed a small nation.

Cool story about your friend, Lucky...Soooooooo...what's your potential friend's financial status? Must be getting lots of $$$$ in residuals from all those Muppet movies! I know bad joke...couldn't resist...

J-ann, sounds like you've made good use of your time off! Everyone really seems to like these WATP tapes, I think I may have to investigate...

Thin...go to Staples and get your own set of little gold stars. The heck with them!!

Steph...feel better!

Michelle...how's the homework coming along?

Tina...I missed Tony on the pre-game show... Dh is a little sad that the Eagles lost...Titans at least played a more exciting game than the Eagles did (BEFORE THEY LOST!) My sister and her boys came over to watch the game with us...Dh made cheese steak sandwiches for everyone...it was halfway through the game that I realized they were Philly cheesesteaks! Anyway, they didn't help! But they were good! 13 points worth!!! geez.

Baylee...I'm so glad to see you back with us! Thanks for the thyroid info...I don't have any other symptoms except the bleeding...no crankiness, cramps, nothing like usual...He said to give it a day or two more to see if it runs it's course like a regular period...if not call him back... we'll see.

I think that's everyone...I'm going to watch "Signs" with dh now...and I only have 1.5 points left for the day! Hmmmm....tea and jello is about all i can afford to snack on! Maybe I'll just crochet while we watch, to keep these chubby little fingers busy!

See you chicks tomorrow! Love ya!

And all I can say is........Check out them stats!!

I lost 8.8 POUNDS THIS WEEK!!! Of course, I wouldn't reccomend it, but sometimes praying to the porcelain Gods help! (just kidding)

I am happy to report since 2/5/02, (which is when I originally joined WW) I have now lost a grand total of 70.7 lbs!


YEA ME!!

(Not to toot my own horn guys........but I am soo excited)

For the first time, in a very long time........if ever, I finally know I'm going to make it.

[bobsgal]

Way to go Tina! I'm pretty sure that I have lost some as well considering I haven't eaten for the past 3 days. But I didn't want to weigh in today, show a big loss and then gain next week because TOM is coming. So I'm playing it safe. And Lucky- I'm 5'11".
Steph

[bobsgal]

Oops didn't mean to forget you- Congrats on the 3 lbs.

[LuckyLadyBug]

Wholly crap Tina 8.8 is so awesome... Me doing a happy dance for you.

Kat I am at a loss for words...."residuals from all those Muppet movies!" All I can do is laugh....maybe tomorrow I can pay you back for that.

Same height too.....

I do have to confess I didn't exercise. WHY is this such an obstacle for me? Maybe if my TOM would EVER stop I would get with it?????

[PheonixRising]

Hi-I'm new to the site, but I weigh somewhere over 300lbs. (The local doctor's scale only goes up to 300lbs.) It's kind of discouraging when you have to find a special scale just to weigh yourself. Last I was able to I weighed 349lbs. I think I have gained since then. I'm hoping to find some support and ideas from women who have been there (over 300) or are there. At this point I think any encouragement will help. I need a plan.

[MichelleK]

Pheonix let me be the first to say Welcome to our humble little group! You just joined the greatest group of gals to help you through your journey! They are the BEST!

Stick with us...you will enjoy the ride!! Post often to let us get to know you! You are welcome here!!!

This will be quick as I have to get to work a little bit early today. My boss is sending me two new CSR's to train this week.

Tina...big congrats on the 8.8 gone..and the 70+ lbs already gone for ever!! You go girl!!

Thin...you too...good job on the loss! It motivates me when I see others losing!

Ok gotta get the boy dressed and my hair dry and out the door I go! Oh...btw... turned in another assignment for my english comp II class and got an A- I'll take it!!

Congratulations TINA!!!

Wow that is great, you are on your way girl! I am so happy and proud of all of you. I know we will fight this weight loss battle until the bitter end. I am here lurking and reading. I have been doing well. TOM came to visit last week and I didn't want to get on the scale on Thursday so I decided to goto a WW meeting on Saturday and I loss 2.2 pounds!! I am on my way. I hope to be in onderland by April.

Wish me luck

You go girl! Hey, however it comes off, it's off! We sure are a bunch of losers this week! Motivation is running high, I LOVE it! Even if I'm tempted to "cheat," which, surprisingly hasn't happened too often...I think of having to weigh in and face the scale AND you guys...I want a big loss this week! Haivng said that, I just chugged down the rest of my water and refilled it!) See how you girls keep me on the straight and narrow!

I must go face the pile of bills that has been sitting on my coffee table. I will be back...poorer, but with a clean conscience!

Oh yeah...
WELCOME PHOENIX! You have found a great bunch af gals here...all in various stages of weight loss...stick around for support and laughter and a lot of fun...we're trying to make this journey a pleasant one!

I'll leave you all with thoughts of flowers blooming...

Hey Chick-adees!

Ummm.... Tina... that is ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE! Craziness actually! I believe a cheer is in order! HIP-HIP-HURRAY! You rock! I'm so glad you've come to a place where you KNOW you're gonna make it!

Sorry for disappearing, btw! Hugely busy weekend! Hubby's 28th b-day party was a huge success--a total of 41 attendees! There was an abundance of alcohol and munchies BUT, luckily, alcohol GIVES ppl the munchies so there was nothing left around the house to tempt me!

OKAY. TIME FOR CONFESSION. Actually, it's not so much a confession as it is a sign of success! I slightly indulged myself at the party. Nothing crazy... just a bite or two of a few things that I haven't eaten at all in the last year! BUT--here's the exciting part--it's all good! I'm SO conscious of my weight loss that I'll do absolutely nothing to jeapordize it. I will ALWAYS eat sensibly from now on... but... I can eat a treat on a special occasion and still be okay!

There was a few people at the party that I'd never met; while everyone was PIGGING out at the buffet table, someone offered me some chocolate cheesecake they had brought. I told them that it looked absolutely delicious but I'd have to pass and I patted my stomach. One of those ppl I'd never met said "What? You're not watching your weight are you?!" I nodded and said "Yup. Certainly am." This woman then says "Bah! You're small... you don't need to worry about it!"

HA!

Me. Small. Whoa!

I smiled. With all the free-flowing alcohol, I was feeling free to disclose WHATEVER!

"I just lost 120 pounds. Last year I weighed 270!"

Her jaw just about dropped to the floor. She was definitely impressed!

OH YEAH! You heard it first here. I'M AT GOAL! (Course, that's not OFFICIAL until tomorrow, WI Wednesday, so SHHHHH... it's gotta be our little secret!" Gonna go 5 more pounds though... just as a bit of a safety net!

Kay, kay. Gotta get to the gym, get home and showered, before my next piano students arrive! Catch all you lovelies later!

...remember, it's our little secret! heeheehee Gotta make tomorrow's WI a surprise, even to myself, so I can make an AWESOME journal entry tomorrow that finally brings me to goal!

[j-ann]

WAY TO GO TINA!!!!! The "whoopsie's" have reached our house. I haven't had it yet. Sounds like a tough way to lose but if I get sick I'll at least have a loss to look forward too.

GOAL, SARA? Did you say G..O..A..L???? We've got to have a party!!! I'll bring the fruit salad, might even toss in a raspberry or strawberry liqueur for a bit of a low point kick. I'm GREEN[/COLOR] with envy and so pleased for you.

LUCKY I'm 5'2" on a good day.

WELCOME PHOENEX! Glad you found us. We can be a lot of fun and we provide each other with some of the best support around.

Off to the pool,
