Hi Everyone,

Hope you don't mind me starting a new thread. I am trying to get back on track and I am at work. Can someone tell me my points range? I am at 163 right now. Also, how many points is one reeses peanut butter cup, Yikes!! Yes I blew it allready. Oh well I am drinking my water good. Well I have missed you all and will try to read the last thread. Thanks for being there for me even though I have neglected you so.

Love
Bren
(Momma Owl)

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!!!

I am in a rush - but wanted to say that

Tara

Hi Bren..you weight is really going down!...not sure about the reeses is it a small or large one. I would count 2 for the small and 5 for the large but I am just guessing.. Julie will know! I looked in the WW book and those are right but Julie can still answer for sure!

150-174 is 20-25 pts

Hi Tara.

This is late but I didn't get in here yesterday!

Good Morning Everyone

Hope you all had a wonderful V-Day. Bill got home last night around 6pm and I was still at the stables. He got us all Chinese Food which is pretty much a ritual if just the two of us don't go out for dinner. I was waaaay too tired. Anyway, he got me a dozen different colored roses and a huge box of Godiva Chocolates. He gets Jackie one too, just a little smaller. I'm afraid to open it. But then, I share them with everyone so I'm going to try and make these last. I could WOOOF the whole box down with some nice champagne in one sitting.
.....but I wont. Been working too hard to get where I am to sabotage myself now.

Hi Bren - Nice to see you again! You'd better keep getting your tushy back in here more often or I'm going to have to fly up there and give it a BOOT! Seriously, it's great to see you here and great job on your weight loss. I'll bet you look MAW-VE-LISS Dawlink!!!!!! NOW WHERE'S MY PICTURE!!!!!!

Have a great day everyone.
Hugs,

Hi There,

Candice, yes, I have been moving steadily down for awhile not, it is hard though. Getting close to being in range finally. I really never thought it would happen. It was one of the regular size reeces cups, yikes shouldn't have ate it but boy was it good.

PJ, Yes I know I have been awful. I have been seeing a really nice guy since the fri before christmas and he keeps me real busy, we go to the casino in connecticut, snowboarding, to the hottubs, out to eat. It is great and I am having a ball. I will try not to be such a stranger though. Oh guess what? Janessa is Prego, a couple of months I guess. I will soon be a grandmother, yikes can you believe it? I am not happy about it because she is definitely not ready, doesn't have a clue. She is still in VA and hasn't even went to the doc's yet just for a pregnancy test, no exam, no vitamins or anything. Believe me I am on her case but not much I can do from here. She also doesn't have a job and may not have a place to stay much longer.

See Ya Everyone
Bren

Ok Bren - ......time for Mommy to step in.....even though I know It's going to be a battle. Only thing is, this time it's YOUR grandchild you're talking about and Vanessa is NOT ready to have a child. Or so I take it from our past posts. I hate to say this but you are going to HAVE to give her alermatims (sp?).....if you can....legally that is. I don't know what else to tell you. Is the father in the picture at all and is he willing to help? Email me and let me know ........ I'm here for you AND her.
Hugs,

Just want to drop in and say hi to everyone. I'm still doing the WW thing with my sister. It's an on-going battle for sure.

Take care

Sue

SueBee - I've been meaning to write you back after your last email. Time has NOT been on my side but I promise to write and fill you in on lots. PROMISE! .....and it was great to get an email from you. Sounds like you're all doing great!

Susan aka SLF - Same to you girlfriend!!!!!

Have been a bit stressed out lately with getting the house sold (meaning having to have it CLEAN and NEAT at all times).....and moving things over to the "new" house. Then of course, there are the every day things us "Mommy's" have to do.......and then there's the stables and blah, blah, blah........ .......Just venting.

I don't know about you Candice.....but I've been wracked with pain lately. I usually don't talk about it but it's trying to stop me dead in my tracks and yesterday and today it did. I lay down to take a nap yesteray and wound up taking a two hour nap!!!! Same thing happened today and Bill didn't disturb me so I slept even longer!!!! I suppose my body is telling me it's time to slow down a little. Missy's front right leg is almost totally back to normal. I'll let her out of her stall and paddock on Monday. The Equine Aspirin has been doing wonders for her pain and inflamation. Anyway, I'm just so releived she's feeling well again and we'll be out riding in a few days. She's definitely got "cabin fever" even though she DOES have a very large paddock that she can walk out of her stall to at will. It would seem that it would be like being confined to the house for us. AAAHHHHHH!!!!!!........NO THANKS! HEH-HEH......anyway, I'm off to bed....I'm pooped (no pun intended). Hope you're all well and doing your WW program tracking.
"See" you all soon.
Hugs,

P.S. - Tara's NEWSLETTER was really awesome today (not that it isn't always) ....... but today I found it really fascinating with so much info that I printed it all out. You should check out your email and see for yourselves. Really a great read!

Hi Everyone,

Sorry that I haven't been here in a while, but things are really busy here since Kevin got home. IT IS SO NICE TO HAVE HIM BACK WHERE HE BELONGS

Bren as for your point range - 20-25 points a day. Remember not to go above the 25 or below the 20. Some members think that if you go below you will lose weight faster but the opposite is true. Members usually go to mid range or the high end.

I too, love Tara's newsletter, actually I do use some of her material when I send my own newsletter out. Thanks again Tara



Well better run, I'm on rescue squad call today and I have a ton of things that need to be done. NASCAR racing starts today and I want my stuff done so that all I have to do is sit and watch.

Have a wonderful day.

Julie

Thought: Don't think of losing weight. Think of removing it. You lose something carelessly. You remove something deliberately, with great care because it is no longer desirable and you wish to be free of it permanently. Choose your words with care - they affect your attitude and belief system
(written by Donna May Bewley, WW leader)

Tara's Newsletter is the best! i love reading all the good tips and stuff in it!

PJ...yes I have been in pain and tired too! Must be in the air..I need to be getting so much stuff done but no energy.

Bren.....so exciting that you are losing too and almost to where you want to be!

Julie....Great thought at the bottom...remove instead of loose.

How much protien do we need aday???????? Grams that is and how many calories is 18 pts? Anyone????????????

Hi Everyone,

Went snowboarding friday night and then out dancing, it was ball but I am very sore. Steve is great. I don't think we will be together for long, relationships never work out for me, but I am enjoying getting to know him and spending time with him.

PJ, I wrecked the card for my digital camera so can't use it til I find another one. I need a 8mb smart media card, nothing bigger. It is an older camera so I am not able to locate anything smaller than a 16mb card in the stores and my camera won't handle it. As soon as I find one, I will send you a pic. As for Janessa, she said she is going in for an exam on feb 20th, we will see. Her boyfriend is not someone I like either, I don't like how he orders her around. They have been together for about 2 years though so I guess he will be in the picture. I am glad she won't be alone but wish she was with someone who treats her a little better though. Parenthood is very difficult and it sure doesn't end when they turn 18. Yikes 2 more to go too.

Candice, thank you. Yes it is nice that I am finally getting there. I know that I could very easily blow it though. I have done that many times before. But this time it has been very slow. I have only been seriously working on it off and on for the last year and a half. I find now as soon as I gain acouple pounds I get right back on it and get it off. Maybe I am finally learning some control with this whole thing. Thanks for letting me know my point range, I was definitely overestimating it by about 2 points. I am trying to start journaling which I have definitely been not doing. I am finding it harder now that I am getting closer to goal. My suits that I bought a few months ago are hanging off me but I don't want to spend anymore money right now so I am taking them in. I don't know what size I will be when I reach goal but when I reach it I will starting building up a better wardrobe. Just can't waste the money now and have to do it all over again in a few months.

Julie, so good to see you around. What kind of rescue squad are you on? do you use green David clark Headsets? Lots of the ambulances and fire dept's do? Just curious. Thanks for the info on the points range. I agree that when I don't eat enough, I stop losing. I do that every once in awhile and I stop losing every time.

Hello to everyone else, hope to catch up with you soon. Gotta boogie, housework and shopping to do.

Bren

Hey Brenda - That email you sent was awesome. I hope you don't mind my putting the illustrations on my QUOTES thread. They're just too good to let pass up. Will also make great T-shirt transfers. Thanks for sending such a great email.

PJ, I am glad you liked it. No problem, share it anyway you want. Thanks for all the great stuff you send me too. I just ate stewed veggies and egg noodles, I am actually trying to count points. I haven't done that in I don't know how long. I am going to plan all my stuff for tomorrow and then take a long bath and hit the hay.

Have a good one.

Bren

Hi there,
I was just reading over threads and looking for one to join and thought I'd help you out. Point range for 163 is 20-25.
I just joined WW, and I'm hoping to find some "old Pros" to help me out....let me know what kind of thing y'all usually chat about on here. Thanks, Michelle
