WELCOME!

I had to start a new thread. I couldn't take scrolling around because it was too wide again. It makes my eyes burn.

I will have to back to thread 271 and copy them to Word or something so I can read them.

Congrats to the losers.

I was SO tempted today. This lady at work makes the BEST cookies and she had a HUGE container of them in the lounge. While eating my lunch - twice my brain said, "come on, one won't hurt". Then I remembered Sara - I am proud to say I didn't even look at them let alone eat one!!!! Thanks, Sara.

I have been reading this book and part of it is about this man who falls in love with this woman. She isn't too sure how she feels, HOWEVER he is so good in bed that she can't stay away from him. They talk about how they do "things" at night, in the morning AND during siesta in the afternoon. I want to do that!!! So to get ready - ARE YOU READY?????-----I EXERCISED WHEN I GOT HOME. Only 30 min but ..a start. How long does it take to make a habit?

Off to eat and to copy all of your previous posts so I can catch up.

I was only going to read tonight and post in the morning but 271 was above 272 so I had to pull this thread to the top. LOL

Lucky... thanks for starting the new thread for us.
And I have to say I really enjoyed your first post.
You finally found a motivator to make you exercise.
Yes... I want some of that action too I must admit.

Okay friends. It is late and I am too tired to post now.. but I will be back in the morning. Good night. I am off to catch some ZZzzzz

LUCKY, LUCKY, LUCKY!!! YOU DID IT!!! Ok...it's NOT what you were reading about, but i'm sure it got you breathing heavy! You go girl!!!

All is well on the diet front! I went to Curves yesterday. Hadn't exercised in almost a week due to feeling poopy. I must say, I felt grand when I was done. This morning, dh and I went to pick up his car from the shop...we passed AT LEAST 4 people out jogging or walking...IT'S 10 frickin' degrees out there! THAT'S the kind of dedication I need!! maybe when it's a little warmer!

Lots to do this AM...I'll pop back in later.

Have a great day all!

Here's the first tally, I will post every friday, if anyone else wants to get involve pm me.

Boy... traffic here has sure been slow in the last couple of days! Come out, come out where ever you are! Don't let your work, family, exercise, need for sleep, etc. stand in the way of posting here so that I am continually entertained!

Lucky: Ahh! You're sweet to think of me... when you think of sweets! I am SO happy for you... it's nice to see those numbers coming down. You're SOOOO close to ONEDERLAND!

Kat: There's such a thing as dedication... and then there is just PURE INSANITY! It's SOOO cold out! Last night our outside bulb burnt out and I thought I was gonna DIE replacing it! I had to come in three times to get my fingers working again! I think we're smart to go to our warm gyms!

Speaking of gyms, I just got back from mine and I have to pop into the shower and head out to pick hubby up from work so I'll catch you chickies later!

Sara

Well...since it warmed all the way up to 22, I went for a walk tonight...but only because Curves is closed Friday nights. I walked for 30 minutes, BRISKLY, to keep the wind from freezing my joints solid. Still, it did feel good to be moving.

Very light turnout today...hope to see some more posts later!

I need a new life.

I really hate my job and the people I work with, so much for my gratitude phase. Well, it might not be all bad cause I am sending out another resume tomorrow. (hating job = motivation?)

Then visiting my Dad was bad tonight. Long, boring story but fills me with guilt.

Food has been good. I do think that drinking that water really helps me - all that exercising going to the bathroom.

I didn't exercise today cause of visiting my Dad and it's too late now. I have to be careful because if I exercise late I can't sleep.

I WILL report exercise tomorrow!!!!

Have to get in shape to be ravaged.

I don't think of this as a rule, but it's one of those times...anyone want to get drunk?

Forgot..Chat Yep what time? I will need some "pepping" up!!! But I know you girls are up to the challenge.

Oh, Lucky...I think we could have a LOT of fun throwing a few down! (drinks...not men...although you may go right ahead!!)
I'll be right over...

Hi everyone! Just jumping in to say I'm still alive. I've been back to working some pretty good hours here. The next week will be a pretty decent schedule and then you may not see me much at all for the first two weeks of February. I am jammed! Don't know why I do this to myself, but I'm addicted, I guess.

I was going to write, does anyone know anyone that wants a scanner cheap, but I think that may not be allowed. Anyway, I'm really excited because I'm buying myself one of those all in one copy/fax/scanner/printer things. My printer is pretty close to dead so I get to replace it and figured I'd get rid of three machines and just get one big new one.

My food has not been good at all this week. I will be lucky to show a loss on Monday. I need to really concentrate this weekend to pull this one out of the dumper. When will I ever learn?????

Well, girls, it's past my bedtime and honey's already up there snoring so I guess I'll let you go. We're headed out in the morning for breakfast with some friends and then I get to play 'showgirl' for the rest of the day. But I'm off on Sunday, so WooHoo!!!

You guys take care. Love to all.

Well, my plan for an uneventful Friday night went astray. We got a real crisis call on the sexual assault lines and I spent the night (or 6 hours of it) in the hospital with the survivor. I was pretty nervous about it... but it all worked out okay and I'm glad I could be there for her.

COMPLETELY OFF TOPIC, the handsome taxi driver I had tonight on the way home from the hospital was flirting with me SO obviously (it was quite a long drive and we chatted the whole way). I think he was trying to ask me out but I didn't let him know that I picked up on it because... well, I'M MARRIED... but it still made me giggle as soon as I got in my door. I'm not used to the attention... I feel shocked when I realize someone is flirting with me... it's nice but strange!

Well, seeing as how it's 2:30am and I've had a LONG day, I think I'll shuffle off to bed. Hubby is away at his brother's house tonight in Toronto so it's just me and my kitty (Moses)... hmmm... maybe I should have asked the taxi driver in...

Sara

Quickie early bird post here...my daughter and I are off to Philly this morning, she has an audition for the school that she wants to go to...University of the Arts. Send : her way! We have to be there @ 9......so we're leaving shortly.
Have a smashing day, kiddos! See you later!

Two things! KAT WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME YOU WERE GOING TO PHILLY! YOU BRAT YOU!!

And SARA....SEND THAT CAB DRIVER TO LUCKY'S HOUSE!!

OK gotta run ladies...TTFN Michelle

Okay, new here and have enjoyed reading your posts!! You said to jump right in so Im trying. Looking for some really good friends along this weight loss journy. Hope I'm in the right place, you all make me laugh.

Little about me. My name is Sandy, this is my first week of doing WW, actually today is day 3 (the start of) and Im still feeling really good about it. My start weight is 295 and i hopped on the scale this am and it said 291.5 so I will take that. My mini goal for the week is to be under 290 out of the 90's yahoo, think I can do it!!!

I've been married for 13 years to a really great man who supports me in all I do, and we have 2 children well should I say we have 2 little 's. My boy is 10 and my girl is 5 going on 16 I swear!!! Any advice there and I will glady take it. I swear by the time she is 16 we will be arguing every day, she is so self minded, which is good, but not when it comes to me and her!!!LOL

Hope to be back on later, but for now Im off to help my mom for the day and shop later with a friend, whom I told we would have to go shopping after lunch as I still did not trust myself to go to a resturaunt yet. Do you know that feeling?

Wishing you all the best for today and chat later.....
Sandy.....aka peekabooangel
