Nancy...so sorry to hear about your friend's husband and the boy's father. Very sad.

Maryann..it's too bad that doing jury duty is such an ordeal.

I'm just passing through today...BBL

Rhonda

Hi everyone. Had an eye appt this afternoon. I've been having trouble reading and doing computer work. Distance is off a bit too. Well, get this....my eyes are better! He needs to reduce both lenses. So hopefully I'll get the new trail lenses this week so I can see. Not much else going on here. I'm making a hungarian chicken dish in my pressure cooker tonight. Sounds good - brown skinless chicken thighs, then sautee onion and mushrooms, add paprika and chicken stock, then add a can of tomatoes - add chicken back in and then cook. Sounds interesting. Hopefully dh will like it. I'll make egg noodles to go with it.

Coco - 1/2 pound gain is small, don't let it get you down. Your doing so well, just keep doing what your doing and i'm sure you'll have a loss next week.

Maryann - gald jury duty was not a big ordeal. Sorry you ended up driving in the rain. Today is wonderful out! Hope you are enjoying this break before the rain tomorrow !

Nancy, sorry to hear about the loss. How horrible. Its good that you are helping out.

VICKIE --CONGRATS!!!!! Your doing so well, I'm glad JC is a good fit for you. I hope the numbers at the doctor aren't too bad.

Tracie -- try adding more protein. Add a boiled egg for breakfast or turkey bacon. You could also try higher fiber foods -- I've been eating Fiber one cereal with yougurt. That may keep you satisfied a bit longer.

Sloan - sorry you've been sick. I hope you are back with us soon. I've missed your postings!

Sandra, did you rejoin today?

Hi Rhonda!

I think thats everyone, if I missed anyone sorry about that!

Got to get dd off the bus. BBL

RHONDA-I wouldn't mind of they had a trial for us to go to but this waiting all morning can be very stressful. I'm lucky I didn't end up eating from the vending machine that they had in the jury's waiting room.

PAULA-Its over,and I will never be called again as I turn 70 next year. Oh what a beautiful day we're having on the cape. I opened my front storm door window along with the side sliding door.We get cross ventilation.


Going to have my afternoon snack[blueberries & WW yogurt]

weather...Maryann brings up the weather! We are back to winter, except that it will bring rain, not snow (if the forecast is right)....and lots of rain, too, with wind. They promise that tomorrow morning will be miserable. Great. The students hate coming to class as it is!

Oh well, I won't let it drive me to eating poorly

Hi
Just getting back on here for a few.
Nothing happening here.
Did have a pretty day. Was suppose to get rain. But none came. And it was to be cool. But wasnt.

BLESSEDWITHSARAH Glad you got a good eye report. And your supper sounds good.

BEACHBUM Together we will lose this weight. Glad you made it to court and back ok. Hope you dont have to go again.

VICKIE How are you doing. I am drinking my water today. I will probably be up alot tonight.

TEJAS and ONTARGET Hi Hope you both are doing ok.

SLAONIE and TWESTRA Hope you both are ok also.

Well hubby and son just went for a ride. Said our neighbor was in a wreck. Totaled her car. Said she fell asleep at the wheel. Hubby said she is home. So guess I will have to check up on her. See what hubby says after they come back. I think they are going to see where the wreck was.
Boy it is so nice that it is staying daylight longer.
Well I am going to get off here for now.
Hope everyone is ok. Thinking of each of you.

Nancy, that's sad news. I am so sorry.

Paula, I rejoin next Tuesday. That's good news about your eyes. Wonder what caused them to get better.

Rhonda, we're to get rain the rest of the week, too. Boy, do we need it! It's been almost a month since we've had measureable precip.

HI Girls. I'm doing much better today. Like Rhonda said, my body should adjust to the change and it has. I'm not starving anymore. Although for breakfast today I ate some crepes (made with egg whites, oatmeal & cottage cheese) and they were very yummy. Only 2 points for 3 of them and then I filled them with a mixture of ww strawberry yogurt, ff cool whip, cottage cheese(blended) mixed in with strawberries. Total of 4 points in all, but the crepes would be core/simply filling. The filling would not be, but that's only 2 points for the filling.

Mary Ann, I get 22 points per day, plus my 35 points per week. I think they want you to start on the "momentum" technique first so you can get your portion sizes under control. I will give it a couple of weeks and then switch to core. The majority of the food I am eating is core though. Since Saturday, I have only ate 10 points of non-core foods. So I guess you could say I'm counting points but doing core.

Sloanie, great to see you again!

Paula, I used to eat shredded wheat with strawberries and milk for breakfast, but I forgot to buy some at the store. But I love the new crepe recipe I found. Yummy. And egg whites have protein.

Coco, the ww smoothies are core, and if you use ff milk or water, it is still core. So enjoy. They are pretty good. I haven't had the vanilla chai but it really sounds good.

Nancy, sorry to hear about your friends husband. It's nice that you are all making stuff for them to eat. Believe me, when my friends husband died she said that she wouldn't have eaten if she had to cook. So that really helped her out when friends made food for her, although she still didn't eat much, but at least she had food to eat and didn't have to cook.

Rhonda, we're supposed to get snow again. Yuck! I'm so ready for Spring!

Well, I'm going to go clean up my dinner dishes. Then I can watch American Idol. I love that show!!

Hi Everyone
Not much happening here.
Went and got our hair cut this morning.
Now waiting on a guy to come and give us a estimate for a new chimney.
Ours is falling apart.
Got some clothes I need to wash up. Need to wash up our new outfits and sons dress clothes. The sons are just dusty from haning. He dont hardly wear them. Usually jeans and a shirt.
The temp is dropping here. At 4:30 this morning it was 63. Now it is in the 50's. And to drop unto the 40's by 5:00pm. Had just a few rain drops. But it is clouding up. So maybe some rain on the way. Sure do need it.

TWESTRA I didnt care for the smoothie. To me it tasted kinda chalky and it tasted like egg nog. Maybe if I had done it in the blender it would have been better.

VICKIE Are you alright. Miss you.
Well I better get off here.
Get busy. And wait on the guy to come.
Will be back later.
Thinking of everyone
Have a great day.
coco

Sorry.
I wanted to ask. How do you do the tracker thing.
I want to put 33 1/2 lb loss. With 16 1/2 to go for 50.
I tried. But it didtn come up right. So if anyone can help me.
I would appreciate it.
coco

Hi Ladies

Didn't have a chance to post this morning,as we had to return a pc of luggage that we bought yesterday. The combination lock would work for us so we exchanged it for a lock & key instead.

RHONDA-We're go to have a windy rain storm this afternoon. I was suppose to go to my choir rehearsal but now I don't think so. I surprised the choir director doesn't call and find out why I gave up going to practice being sick, having doctors appointment on Wed along with the weather kept us apart.


COCO-Thanks,I hope we both get the scale moving downward. I decided to buy one Healthy Choice entree just for the tray that came with it. The tray has 3 sections and now I'm going to eat out of that tray until I get used to portion control. Each section holds 4 fish sticks,1/2 c brown rice and 1 c veggies. So now I know the what to expect the size of the meals it holds. WISH ME LUCK WITH PORTION CONTROL METHOD.

After you hear for a month you can get a ticker from 3 chicks or ticker factor.Go to the User PC on top of page hit that button that will bring your to a edit signature.That will bring you to the Signature weight trackers. Put in your information than select a back ground image hit the next button and get the slider image and than hit the next button use the code for the 3 chicks forum copy & paste than go back to the siggy edit page and put the code in the post box hit preview if you want to see the tracker if not hit submit and they next time you post the siggy should be in your post. Hope that makes sense.


TRACIE-So WW Momentum plan is almost like the old flex & core but its leaning thought the core way of eating.Is that correct?????Having 22pts is not bad as thats = to 1100 cals. + 35 extra points that's 5 extra a day and a total of 1350 cal per day and it is doable.I think that my biggest problem with weight loss is portion control.
I still eat core food also,but I use the point system to count my calories.

Hi All:

The weather wasn't nearly as bad this morning as predicted. But, it's getting worse, as others of you are expecting.

Tracie, I'm glad to hear your body is adjusting...

Today we had pizza for the students at lunch and be darned if I didn't just dig right in! I was talking to some of them and getting rather agitated about some problems we have. I must have eaten five pieces...small ones, but still way too many

Well, that will just have to be my points for the week, and I'll have to do some equivalent That's all there it to that. I'll have a modest supper.


Rhonda

Hi Everyone
Well not much has happened since I was on here last.
The guy came about the chimney. Suppose to send us a estimate. Should get that sometime next week.
Washed some clothes. Fixed supper. Had a salad and a hamburger. The burger was so lean. I had to add water to fix it. Then did dishes. And that has pretty much been it.

TEJAS You will be back on track. I have done things like that before. Eat on something. And then realize. Oh my gosh. Did I eat that much. I am trying to learn not to beat myself up about it. It happens. But getting back on track the next meal is the important part. For me anyway. Hope the weather dont get to bad for you.

BEACHBUM I wish you luck with portion control. I need to work on that too. But by counting points. It seems to be helping. Thanks for explaining the tracker thing. I will try it after I get done here.

Well I hope everyone is doing ok.
Thinking of everyone.
Going to go try the tracker thing. See if I can get it to work.
coco

Well here is how dumb I am.
I cant get the tracker thing to work.
I get everything picked out.
But cant get it to post.
Oh well. This thing is smater than I am.
coco

Coco, that thing is so frustrating. I can do some things on it, but often I don't get it right either.

So, I counted the pizza as 12 points and had spinach and baked chicken breast for dinner. I do have some points left for the week, thank goodness.

I've got an awful sinus headache, have taken meds and am headed for bed!

Have a great night everyone.

Rhonda

Hi Ladies
