Patty

NeenaL: Welcome to a wonderful "corner of the world".

chocoqueen2: I am doing good so far. When I started, I was a few pounds over 225, but dropped a little below since (currently 219), but still try to post occasionally. (Hope that's okay.) I'm keeping my motivation up and hoping that it stays that way for a long time. But they talk about that "click" in the head that turns it on and well . . . sometimes mine clicks off. I'm sure you'll have that 3 pounds off by this time next week and will be down that 50 total. What an excellant Valentine gift to yourself.

I hope everyone has a nice weekend. Keep up the good work. I'll be around Monday.

2oM

2ofme! Thats great that you made it to 225!!! Please tell me when you made it and I will announce it on our page! Also, how did you reward yourself and what is your next goal?

Take care everyone! You are doing GREAT!!!

Amy

chocoqueen2: Actually, I was down to 225 late in October. I don't say much about my losses because I'm never sure how long they'll last. Anyway, Thanksgiving came and then X-mas and I went back up 4 pounds. So, after taking most of January to get motivated again, I'm back on track and going in the right direction - down. I haven't really rewarded myself with anything yet. I stop at my doctor's office once a month to use their scale (that way I don't get obsessed with it). I weigh in just before lunchtime, so when I've lost I just feel so good that I make sure I eat a healthy lunch. I guess I've just patted myself on the back each time, so far.

How was your weekend?

2oM

Down another 2 pounds at weigh in tonight so I have 14 to go to 225! Yippee!

2ofme, well, my weekend was kinda hard cuz my whole family has a bug-but other than that, I am happy to be losing weight!

Hope everyone else is doinbg well! Keep in touch everyone!

Amy

Hi all , I haven't posted much because :
#1 For some reason I couldn't access 3FC for a few days .
#2 I have had a heck of a time lately , sticking to it . I usually can stay on point at least 5-6 days out of a week . Lately i'm lucky if I manage to stay on point 3 days .
I think I wrote that on 1-27-01 , I remained the same as the week before ? This week (2-3-01) , I gained 1.4 pounds . Current stats = 236.4/344.7/185 = 108.4 total gone .
The rest of you all have done super . I'm proud of you ! Keep it up ! I'm sure i'll snap out of it .
Kathy

Hi Everyone..

You are all doing great! Just thought I'd drop in and say hi to everyone...

Kathleen: How long did it take you to lose the 108? I know I am at 71 and it seems like the more time I am on the plan the more relaxed I get at times. I try to keep with the plan though all week except on my WI days when I treat myself to pizza. Sometimes I also will have one other dinner (usually on a Friday-Saturday) that I don't worry about points either but other than that I am still going strong. Hang in there..just remember that's 108lbs gone forever!

2ofMe: anytime you want to post is ok..that's what we're here for..when you need us most!

And Amy, well...GREAT GOING GIRL!!! you are doing fantastic...I have to always give extra kudos to all of you gals out there with kids..it would be hard for me to feed children and stay on this plan so you all deserve some type of extra credit!

Well I WI on Thursday--we'll get back to you then!

Patty
just getting work after driving in snow
in Michigan!

How's everyone today? I'm still hanging in there (in more ways than one ).

kathleen61: My gosh, 108 pounds. Hmph! That's amazing. I think congratulations are in order - even if you have been hovering lately. So you need to snap back? That's what we are here for. So . . . HEY LADIES . . . help me pull on Kathy's rubberband, we're going to snap her back onto track.

Ready?

Set.

Pull.

Puuuulllll.

Puuuullll mooooorrrrre.

On the count of three, LET GO!

One.

Two.

Thrrrrreeeeee.

SSSSSSSNNNNNNNNNAAAAAAAAAPPPPPPPP!!!!

Now how do you feel Kathy? We feel pretty good, cuz that was our exercise for the day.


And PatriceK: 71 pounds is fantastic, too.

I've been doing WW123 at home. Please tell me how you don't get bored with food. That seems pretty silly, but I don't make too many new recipes, because I end up throwing it out if we don't like it and having to make a different dinner in a hurry. (Usually something fattening.) We aren't big fish eaters and I'm getting tired of chicken. I also am having trouble with lunch. I eat fast food most of the time, but I'd like to start taking my lunch to work. I get tired of chicken and turkey sandwiches fast. Maybe I'm just asking too much. I should be thanking my lucky stars, right?

Amy: How's the family been for you lately? When my kids were about 9 and 7, they kept complaining that the meat I'd fix had a bone or needed to be trimmed. (They just wanted to keep eating hot dogs and burgers.) So, I made oatmeal for dinner one night. One kid ate a little, the other chose to go to bed hungry, and they never complained again. Kids these days .
