Hi gals,
How's everyone doin'. Well I woke up this afternoon with the beginnings of a cold. Both my kids have it. So it was just a matter of time. I've taken the night off to recoop my strength.
Well not doing to badly. I'm taking in about 35 points a day. I should only be taking 33 as my max. So it may be evident come Thursday WI. But not gonna worry to much. As I see it this is a beginning for me and I'm eating healthier and alot less than I normally do. So if I don't lose a huge amount this week it won't be the end for me. I truly feel better about myself when I'm not swimming in grease and cream. This is the first steps of forming new behaviours and attitudes about food, and that is want is important. The weight will come off. I am going to start back at the gym this week. Gonna go 3x a week and thats it. I'm not training for a triatholon.

Karyl~so good to hear your sounding positive despite what the scales say. I know about the hungries and that is why I'm tending to go a little over each day. But at least I'm not having a complete relapse. I have found some little tricks that are helping me alot. Like sugar free Jello jellies. You can have 3 for 1 point! I love chocolate and I can satisfy my cravings with Skor bars, only 5 points a bar,(regular size bar) And finally frozen cyclones. I don't know it you get them in the US, but it's like sherbert and popsicle. They are delicious and 2 for 3 points. Also for a sweet fix Tootsie pops suckers each for 2 points. Love them and take a long time to eat! Kill some time till your next meal. I hope you stay with WW. I really believe it's a better plan in the long run. As far as maintenance is concerned.

How is everyone else? Any other opinions on our future status? This thread is getting a little long so we better decide soon

Hi girls,I don't mind what you call the thread as long as you let me keep posting, 'cos actually I'm here under false pretences. I'm really 5ft 2, 101lbs !! Why is my nose growing again.
No I'm 5ft in my bare feet and 238.5 lbs but the false pretences bit is that I don't do WW, I do my own low fat diet and at my last doctors weigh in on 9 sept I had lost 40lbs since 30April so can I please still join you.

You in the US are so lucky with the choice of clothes, so much better than we have over here. When we visited I bought so many clothes, I nearly died when my visa bill arrived, think I'm still paying it off

Ruby, Your Derby Day sounds fun, thats one of mynhusbands dreams to go to the Kentucky Derby that and the Melbourne Cup.

Keep good Ladies I'll post tomorrow

Hi girls, oh man I'm feelin' crappy. This cold is starting to sap all of my energy. And I have not been a very good WW girl. I lost track yesterday but stop counting around 44 points I'm completely without energy and motivation right now. Although I have been getting all my water in and did have a 40 minute walk this morning pushing my baby in the stroller. So I suppose all is not lost. I'm still confident I will do it this time. It's going to be a little trickier than I thought. I WI on Thursday and am hoping for some weight loss but honestly at this point as long as I don't gain I'll be satisfied.

Mavis~you do what ever works sweetie. We welcome you with open arms There is strength in numbers not scale numbers, but ya know what I mean.

Where is everyone??

I hope you're all doin' slightly better than moi.
Now for a name change. How about for now we just call ourselves nonames untill we decide.
