We are a fun group traveling down the road to thin together. Anyone that wishes to join a good bunch of folks that listen and give advice please stop and leave us a message. Sit a spell and join us in a good cup of coffee....

It is nighty nighty time here..... but I decided to check in and saw that we had grown into two pages and just had to fix that!

GERI I vote for chicken enchiladas.

TINA you go girl. Starting small and building up in the exercise department is the best and you will leave that 230 behind in no time.

Have a great tomorrow ya'all........

Good Morning everyone

Jee, I've been SO busy lately that I haven't had time to drop by. Sorry I'm not going to be able to reply to everyone's post, but keep up the great work and if your struggling PLEASE HANG IN THERE......YOU CAN DO IT!

I went for my weekly weigh in last night. 5 1/2 more and I'm bursting with joy..... Only 13 more to hit that 100 pound mark. YES!!!!!

I'm on the move at my client site, last day here and I don't think I'll have the luxury of posting during the day, so I'll see everyone again in the evenings.

Thanks for all the great posts, I'm sure without them I would not have been so successful....

Hello everyone!

I'm not going to reply post by post either, but wanted to say Welcome to all the new ones I see!

Also, I stole the dots in my signature from one of you, thanks for the instructions!!

Things are going well for me. I'm going to be making a couple of changes in my routine in the next few days. First, I'm going to start taking 20-30 minutes walks 3 days a week. I think that'll help!

I'm also going to try and not even start fixing dinner till 6pm. I think I've been eating too early in the evening which as been making me hungry and want to pick and snack later. So, we'll see how that goes!

Be well everyone!

Hello everyone! Happy Thursday!

I too posted the other day and now I don't see it...so Oh well I guess. I am glad to hear how well everyone is doing!

I need to get back into exercising again. I was on a good routine but when I got sick it all stopped. I play volleyball every week but I know I need more than that!

This weekend and next week will be Spring Cleaning for our household...and potty training my daughter who just turned 2..wish me luck..I definetly need it!!!

Well I guess this is all I have to say for now. I will check back later. I have my last final tonight and I am excited so I guess maybe I should get back to studying!

Angie

hannahntigger: Um . . . when you are done Spring Cleaning there, you're MORE than welcome to do mine. I'll keep my fingers crossed for an excellent grade on your final. You've worked hard and deserve it. Oh, and potty training girls is harder than boys, but my opinion might be based more on my daughter being a first born - and they are always the independent, head strong ones. I used to hear how rewards worked for others (notice I didn't mention my daughter.) Hope it all goes well.

I'm sorry it is 317 that I started out at..Mispelled..Have a great week..Sheryl Staton

Hi all! I'm glad to be back. I really missed all of you. I came and read one night and couldn't even see to finish. I have had such a cold. Running nose, running eyes. Hey, they were running, does that count for excercise???? Anyway, I've been miserable! Also working constantly. So it's been fun walking in with big red eyes and a Rudolph nose! Oh well.

I will have to get back with all of you a little later. Just can't see straight right now.

Well, I'm off. More jobs today. I have a theatre job this weekend so will be tied up tonight and tomorrow night.
Love to all.

All glory comes from daring to begin.

Hello everyone and Happy Friday. A funny thing happened today..lol..I did my spring cleaning and it snowed..seems wierd doesn't it?? Anyways..all clean here...I have been working on it for a few days now. Does that count as exercise?
I feel a great sense of accomplishment now. Ahhh now I can sit back and relax...

Actually I was thinking of walking a mile on my treadmill..since I am already stinky..lol

Anyways.. Welcome Sherry!! We are here to support you!! Everyone here is very nice and helpful.

Thinthinker- Sorry to hear that you are sick. That sucks when you have to work also. I hope you feel better soon!! Take care of yourself!

Well my husband is working this weekend so it's just me and my daughter...maybe we will start that potty training thing..maybe..lol

Well keep in touch everyone! Have a wonderful weekend!

Angie

Hummm what happened to my last post The Post Gosters must have gotten it!

Welcome to the group SHERRY we are at the same weight right now...... I am tired of being fluffy also and dance with Richard ~ on occasion when I get motivated to do so. Let's dance down this road to thin.

I read a book the other night that was good but the thing is I can't control myself when I start a good book. I marithon it. Boy-O-Boy did I get to bed late.

Have a great OP day ya'all.

Hi! How are all of you??? I have been working my tail off, don't I wish!!! Bookstores and theatres this weekend. I have stayed away from the movie popcorn for two nights, just one more to go! Woopeee! It has actually been easy. Their oil smells rancid or something and the smell of the popcorn just isn't appetizing so I've been able to resist without too much trouble. Saw Enemy at the Gate. A World War II movie about snipers. Not bad, but slow and bloody. We also saw The Mexican, with Brad Pitt and Julia Roberts. Cute movie, funny, stupid ending. Ok folks, that has been Thinthinker's movie reviews for the week. Better than Ebert and whoever his new partner is. Haha

I'm looking forward to weighing in tomorrow for the first time in weeks. I know all you don't like scales, but when I'm having an OP week and the scale moves in the right direction all week it gives me inspiration to keep going. Altho' it does work in reverse too. If the scale is going in the wrong direction, I tend to throw in the towel until another Monday WI rolls around. Can't win!!!

Tina: Are the avatoars you're trying the right size? The site is finicky about the size limit. I couldn't use the one I wanted because it was too big.

Annie: The 'girls' have been named for years. I think DH named them, long before we were married.

Cynthia: I hea ya on the 4 paramedics. I think of that one often as I thank God for another healthy day!

Maggie: The chicken enchiladas still haven't happened. I made reduced calorie chicken alfredo instead. Wasn't all that great so won't save or share that recipe.

Brenda: Another 5.5#! OUTSTANDING! You put me to shame! I need to get back on the bus.

Tracy" Good luck with the adjusted dinner schedule. Hope it helps.

Angie: Spring cleaning sure does count for activity. Good luck potty training. It's alot easier when they
are ready, than if it's just us that's ready!

Sherry: Sounds like excercise is definitely your friend. 9# is a great start.

Well, I'm gonna get outta here for now. Love to all.

Happy Sunday Night everyone!

Tonight we played volleyball and won 2 out of 3 games!! Our team is currently tied in 2nd place with two other teams!!

As far as OP...I have not been completely faithful this week but hopefully the scale will be nice to me tomorrow night. I have walked 3 1/2 miles this weekend and plan to walk another mile or so tomorrow...so cross your fingers for me!!!

How was everyone's weekend??
What do you think of my new avatar??
I want to be everyone's cheerleader!! Go Girls Go!!

Well good luck at weigh in's tomorrow and the rest of the week! Let us all know how you do!!!

Angie

Hello and Happy Monday!
I guess I am really anxious today. I got up early and started drinking water. I am so nervous about my weigh in because I didn't try my hardest this week. I am sure I will do okay..at least that's what I am trying to tell myself.
This is my spring break..lol...this past weekend I spring cleaned my house which was so much fun (yea right).
This week I have to get my books for next quarter's classes. Also I am going to start watching my nephew! He's 7 months old. My sister in law got a job where my brother works and they will be working the same shift (2nd) so they are having a hard time finding a sitter. I volunteered right away!!! It will get me into the swing of things having to take care of two at a time! Me and my hubby can't wait till we can try for #2!! Hannah needs a sibling before she gets spoiled anymore!! lol
Well speaking of Hannah, I better get off of here and give her some Mommy daughter time. Talk to you all tonight after my weigh in!! Good Luck!

Angie

The sun is out and it is 53 degrees and the weather bug just gave me a weather warning for tomorrow..... winter snow watch. Well folks tormorrow is the first day of spring! YEAH.

My weigh in was dissappointing but it also did something to me that I am glad of. I am so disgusted of being a yo-yo but I am not going to get mad at myself, however, I will take some action. I have set a goal to lose 40 pounds between the first day of Spring and the first day of Autumn. Which means folks I will have to keep my FOCUS every waking minute but I am up to it! Feel my enthusiasm reverberating

GERI & ANGIE I wish you both well at your weigh in's this evening. Angie that is nice of you to babysit and Hannah will have a nice playmate.

Have a good day ladies.
