Hi Everyone
Just a quick stop to say "HI"
Hope everyone is doing ok. And staying warm. I cant believe some of the temps they were saying on the TV. So I hope everyone is staying warm.
Well am going to get off here.
Thinking of each of you.

Hey chicks

I managed to stay op last night. It really had nothing to do with me, I was just tired and slept from 6pm to 11pm on the couch! Oh well, anything to stay op. It was -21 F windchill here last night. Today, we will be in the 20's, so we are pretty cold. Hope you chicks are staying warm!!

Wow! It's almost 30 below windchill here. I'm starting day 3. It's been HARD. I'm trying to figure out how all this goes. All I can say is WW is MUCH better if you can force yourself to cook and measure portions. I'm not sure how long I can stick to it, but I'm giving it the old college try.

It's quite a shock from what I was doing.

Vickie, thank you for the update. We have a friend from Ohio who swears by Jenny Craig. I think that's close to what Nutrisystem is, isn't it?

We're heading to Subway then to workout. Not much else going on here.

Vickie-my dad was on Nutri System, and my mom filled him up with lots of veggies. Maybe that would help. Hang in there. We are all pullin' for ya.

Thanks, Vickie. I'm sure we're all curious and hoping for the best for you.

It was -30F here this morning, with the windchill. DH drove me to the subway and picked me back up. It's warmer now, but that's not saying much.

My eating has been a little wonky today, but tomorrow is another day. I didn't lose any weight this week, but I didn't gain either!

Rhonda

Rhonda, no gain is a winner in my book.

Vickie, I hope you can stick with it, after investing for 5 months. Is the food tasty? Just add lots of veggies, like Sloan said. Best of luck to you.

Hi to everyone else. I have been pretty lazy today. It's so very cold and who wants to get out in it? Not me. Right now it's 9 degrees. Brrrrr. I know some of you are getting colder temps.

Staying on plan. Have a good evening.

Rhonda, I think maintaining is a good thing. I hope I maintained this week. I have about 12 hours till wi.

We're having a heat wave. It's 8F!

I had to take Jake the dog to the vet's early this morning for blood tests. It's a 15 minute walk, but I drove him because it is so miserably cold and the wind is strong.

OK, today is going to be totally OP with lots of water and some Sandra, I hope WI goes well for you today.

BBL,
Rhonda

Good Morning Ladies


BRRR!!!is it cold out,Leo woke to to temps of 1 % we're not heading out at all today.Bought all staples that we needed for the weekend.

Wasn't that terrible about the US Airline Plane crashing in the Hudson River. Its a miracle all those people are alive. Didn't post as I was watching the news all afternoon.

COCO- Sometimes it hard to read all when you get busy.That's has happened to me also.I having Oatmeal the last two days as the Cape is really bitter cold this morning.BIG CONGRATS on your 2 lb loss.

SLOAN-That's what we are here for is to motivate and support.

SANDRA-Hope your Fri W-I went well.

PAULA-That's a great achievement to have a 1 lb loss from Dec to Jan.,and during the holidays to boot. Keep up the good work.

VICKIE-I can't imagine how all the people in your area keep warm with those minus temps. Try to stay warm and don't go out if you don't have to. Don't know to much about the diet,all I know its portions sized meal plans.Like WW used to have the Personal Cuisine so many years ago. I Hope that it helps you,saw the ad of Marie Osborne losing 45lbs. Remember,we are all here for you and please don't be a stranger.


PAM-That's how I feel not going out in this weather.Stay warm, this will soon pass.



Have a great morning

Good Morning Chicks! Sorry to have been MIA. I got a phone call on Wednesday morning asking if Jim and I could watch our Great Niece and Nephew while their Mom and Dad took the 2 year old (my Godchild) to have a cast put on her arm. It was COLD and snowing so we weren't going anywhere. So we got that accomplished and all seems to be well. She actually seems like it hurts less with the cast on. Thursday was quiet. It was a non-Nutrisystem day for us. QVC only had the 5 day program but we bought it anyway. We decided we would have two days off but we'd not do weekends; we thought we'd split it up. So we are off on Thursdays and Mondays. We still plan to go to our favorite Core Italian restaurant on Thursdays and have Chipotle bowls for dinner on Monday. We have system LIKE foods for breakfast and lunch. Jim has exercised and/or snowblowed every day since we started. He's sure to lose over 10 pounds this week. I've done no exercise. I can't explain why but I will get on. I'd like to lose this weight as soon as possible.

Today we have to start washing all our light fixture glasses. Unfortunately, we have 8 rooms of the darned things. Why can't they make them so you don't have to take the bulbs out too?

I'm off to catch up with the rest of you.

We are at 9 below right now with a windchill of 24 below. We ran our errands yesterdays to that we could stay in today. Just quick runs out with the dog. All our schools are closed for the second day in a row. Yikes!

Thank you ALL so much for allowing me to stay here. It means a lot to me.

Sloan, it's hard to stay motivated. That's been one of my biggest problems too. Maybe we can motivate each other. Thanks for the veggie tip! Too bad I like mine with fat on them. I have noticed that there's lots of extra "gravy" with most of the meals so I can float some of the extra veggies in that~

Rhonda, I like Paula's idea about the protein. My oatmeal or shredded wheat never keep me full for long.

Maryann, it's such a delicate balance. Portion control is key but so is eating enough to keep yourself from going into starvation mode. I like that it's all laid out for me in a balanced way. I'm hungry though, so I know I was eating too much before.

Coco, you've been doing so awesome lately! It must help to have your DH working at it with you. I know it helps me to have Jim eating healthy too.

Paula, that's a great group size. When are your weigh ins? You sound SO enthused. I'm just determined. I hope that works.

Sandra, are you going to meetings? I miss mine. I made a great friend at the meetings and we've exchanged numbers and are keeping in contact. I hope that will help along with my contact with all of you. Nutrisystem and Jenny Craig are very similar. I chose NS because it is low glycemic too. How are you? You sound kind of down in the dumps? How did your weigh in go today?

Ok....time for me to go eat! Yay!

I maintained this week. Life is good. Today's eating has been all right. I have used some WPA's, though.

Rhonda, I hope Jake is all right. It was cold here last night (teens); but today it's back in the 40's. You know how Texas winters are. It'll be 60's tomorrow.

Vickie, I'm very excited about what you and Jim are doing. I love reading about it. Thank you for asking about me. I'm all right. My shooting's been sort of off lately and that always puts me down in the dumps. This morning's training went well. I'm looking to have good scores tomorrow.

I hear you on needing to eat enough to not go into starvation mode. WW wants me to eat 22 pts a day. That's too low for me. I have decided to eat 26. I can't figure out how to change my daily pts allowance online so I'll just use WAP's and AP's.

Maryann, thank you for suggesting I up my pts.

Vickie, I can't tell you how happy I am to see you posting. I have missed you soooooo much. back.

Thanks, Sandra for the welcome home. Did you weigh in today? Tuesdays are going to be my weigh in day.

Mission accomplished with my chores today. I just need to do 4 hallway lights tomorrow. Then I need to wash doors and woodwork with Murphy's oil soap. We have special company coming on the 24th so we are trying to do some extra Spring cleaning stuff now.

Good evening all. We are in a deep freeze here. It was -5 this morning. My daughter water pipes froze. I hope they don't bust. It's 5 degrees now, so I'm sure we are going below 0 again. This is so uncommon where we live. I guess the whole country is getting hit hard.

I only get 19 pts per day. That is nothing, once I use 6 pts for my milk and another 2 pts for my healthy oil. That leaves me 11 pts for food. I do earn 2 pts for activity, but the online tools use your WPA's first. I'ved used 2 of the 35 since Monday. I'm not sure if I should use the wpa's or not. What do you all do and what success have you had? I really miss my nuts and peanut butter, that I had on SBD. I guess I could use some of those extra points for that.

Have a good evening.
