I have never tried the zone bars, but I do like PowerBar Harvest bars. They usually run them 4 for $5 at the grocery store or walmart and they are yummy! They are more like a granola bar than the LA bars.

The bars are way too many points on the WW plan so I do not eat them anymore.

Welcome back to the plan lawlosertoo!

How is everyone else this morning?

Hi all,

I am so happy! I managed to loose some ounces since Monday's weigh in...I know that could anything but it's nice the see the scale go down in any capacity!lol

Diane- Your ordering Cathe's new video's? I'm so excited! I can't wait! I haven't ordered yet, but i'm saving up my little pennies to. Wow what a great deal? Cathe sure has a great sense for business!

lawlosertoo- congrats on loosing 40#

Fran- the more the merrier! Also congrats on the weightloss!

Joy- Happy nuptials! And only gaining 3# isn't as bad as it could be, you did great considering!


ANYONE HERE USE BARE ESSENTUALS? If so I just want to update you that Lesile will be in QVC this Thursday!

What is Bare Essentials?

Hey Everyone:
Marcie your package come yet. You have helped me alot along the way also, especially with switching over to WW. I have not had a headache once this week, it feels really great. I think I just have to fine tune the plan to work for me so I do not get so overwhelmed. There are some foods I just can't handle even after all this time. Marcie the La lites (bars) are like 4 points, I try to stay away from them.
Fran I put on about 13 pounds over the summer which has gotten me a little down, but with all of you here I am feeling motivated again.
Kathy I kind of begged my husband to use his credit card to order the Cathe tapes I did not tell him how much though. He will get a suprised when his bill comes.
The asst. manager at La weight loss was really nice she put me on hold like I asked and guess what Marcie she used the surgery idea. She even gave me the information weeks on stabilazation, I wished I had seen them earlier I might have handled things differently but thats life.
I hope everyone is well
Diane

Glad they put you on hold without any problems Diane! I hope WW works well for you....you dont have much left to lose!

My package did not come today, but I am guessing it will be here tomorrow. Too bad I am going to be at my parents Fri-Sunday and they do not have a DVD player! Guess I will start my walking when I get back...or tomorrow if they come in!

What are the Cathy tapes?

Marcie:
There are alot of Cathe tapes or dvd's. You can check them out on Cathe.com.
The step tapes I think are advanced. But alot of beginners like the weightlifting tapes. I think Kathy can also tell you what they are. I find her weight tapes/dvd's very good, you get your muscles worked pretty good.
got to go
Diane

I think I may need to get something later to do in addition to the walking....maybe I will look into those. I will start with the walking though! I do not want to do too much at once.

I am leaving for my parents house in the morning after my 9:30 weigh in. I have my 10 year high school reunion this weekend. It will be nice to spend the weekend with family and old friends.

Hey...its me again...where is everyone!?!

I got my WATP DVD in the mail today...but I just got a manicure and cant open the stupid box! Will have Matt do it when he gets home. Since I am going to be out of town Fri, Sat, and Sun I think I will start my exercise program on Monday.

I was at Wal-mart today and got a couple 2lb hand weights to use. I wasnt sure if I should get 1, 2 or 3, so I went with the midde. They were only $4 so if it isnt right, I didnt lose much.

Everyone having an on plan day???

Hey Jibelle,
Congratulations on receiving your tapes You'll like them. I actually did the 2 mile last night. I wasn't in the mood to jump around because tonight I will be taking a urban rebounding class It is a work out on a mini trampoline and it is a killer!!

Are you rady for weigh in Sat? How was your week? I had a good week and I hope the scale moves. Lately, it doesn't even budge

We'll see..

Talk later,
Fran

I am going to be out of town this weekend, so I am weighing in tomorrow. My scale says I am the same as last week, but it is never right! I have been pretty good this week, so we will see!

Marcie:
Have fun this weekend. Enjoy the Dvd.
Fran how is the rebounder, I have heard it mentioned alot lately.
My day was a little shakey but not as bad as it could have been.
Have a nice night.
Diane

Good morning!
I set my alarm to 7am and I woke up at 5:30. Go figure! I guess I have some time to get a few things done before I leave for my parents. I am going to the 9:30 WW meeting and then heading out of town. I am so excited to spend some time with my family and friends!
I will try and post when I get to my parents. *keep you fingers crossed* I want a good WI!

Work has been absolutely exhausting lately. This is the first job I've had in at least two years that required me to be on my feet for the whole shift, and most of it is running from place to place! So, I think I will have to amend my exercise goals to THREE times a week. Strangely enough, I'm losing weight just as fast now as I was when I hit the gym at my summer job every day. HEY, I'll take it!

I go to WI today, and my scale shows me down another 2#. I hope the scale at the center is as kind! My center started a "Losers Board" where they post the names of people who have lost 20, 30, 40, 50, etc... It's really cool to see your name up there, and very motivating.

TODAY, however, is going to be difficult. It's the day my friends and I are going to this huge country fair, the Eastern States Exposition. Traditionally, you start at one end and EAT your way to the other. Last year I pigged out hardcore. I don't know what I'm going to do! I figured I'd bring along an LA Lite so I could eat something "bad" while everyone else is eating onion rings, cotton candy, and fried dough. NEXT YEAR I'll be able to indulge, right? Food isn't more important than my goal!! I certainly hope I remember that tonight when we're there! Wish me luck!

I also got a package of the shakes, but I haven't tried them yet. For those of you who use the shakes, how do you make them? I bought some strawberries to go in the shake (they're chocolate), and I'm planning on sticking it in the blender with some ice and my milk allowance or maybe even some fat free/lite yogurt. What works for y'all?

My center had the same kind of "loser board" off and on. It would be there, then gone, come back a little different, then gone. I really liked it when they had it though! I always couldnt wait to move my name from one weight to another!

Ah shakes....I am the smoothie queen!

Chocolate: I usually just put these in a shaker with a cup of milk (or half cup milk/half cup water) and put in the small ice chunkies from the bottom of the tray....and shake shake shake! Frothy and yummy!

Strawberry and Vanilla: I did not like these plain really...so I made fruit smothies. I bought the frozen bags of strawberries or peaches and would add them in with the milk and mix. Blenderer time.....OH YUMMY! Sometimes I used yogurt and fresh fruit or slightly frozen fruit. I found that if you used yogurt and frozen fruit...it was really hard to blend because it was so thick. I am getting hungry just thinking about my Saturday and Sunday morning smoothies!

Good luck at weigh in!!!

Good Morning!

How's everyone? I'm fine! I weighed in today at the center and i'm still holding steady! I'm so glad I lost 2# this week and was able to maintain it. Hopefully i'll be able to maintain it through Mon cause this Saturday is my b-day and I'm already prepared on the "bad" things i'll be eating!lol

Diane- Hopefully your hubby won't notice the c/c bill! Cathe's tapes are sure worth any lecture he decides to torture you w/ once he does notice though. lol I'll order mines next month. I wanted to order the dvd set but my ex took the dvd so it's back to vhs for now. lol Oh, how do you feel about Fitprime? I've lost my taste for it after CF. To be honest I love CF more than WF but I hate doing aerobics w/ the ball! What about you?

xYTx- congrats on the steady weightloss! Sorry you have to be standing for 8hrs a day though. That's tough!

Well have a great weekend everyone!
