If you have 50 or more pounds to lose, or are losing, this is the group for you! So jump on in and join; you'll be sure to get a warm welcome!

Linda, no, I didn't buy the new electronic points tracker, but I did buy a 12-week paper journal. I'm keeping an eye out for a new Palm version, or I may go back to my old Palm s/w and make some adjustments for the new program. For now, though, I've committed to keeping the 12-week journal all the way through. That will take me up to our Thanksgiving cruise, and hopefully I'll be well below WW goal by then! Re: JOYce's visit, we had such fun together! We went to the PBS annual Women's Health Fair and shopped at Rivercenter Saturday, and went out to the ranch Sunday. (It was too hot to picnic out there, but we drove around and visited the old ranchhouse and lake.) I think I gave the rest of our "itinerary" in an earlier post: another SA trip for lunch and shopping, Victoria for lunch, and Pleasanton. I'm hoping the intermittent rains haven't interfered with JOYce's Labor Day Weekend plans! She and her DGD, other DGD & dh, son and d-i-l, and others were all going to do the Riverwalk and other fun stuff together. At least the rains have cooled things off a bit for them!

DH and I have spent the weekend just doing stuff in the yard and house. We planted some lettuce, spinach, peppers, and "micro greens" in our tub garden, washed clothes, etc. Have been OP and have walked twice each day, so hope to see good results come Saturday!

Hope everyone else is having a great holiday weekend; stop in when you can!

I'm home, had a great trip home to top off a fantastic vacation in TEXAS. During my hour layover in Vegas, I put a few quarters in the slots and left with $128.00!!

I did have a great time at Jan's! she and dh and her dad are all such very gracious hosts! Jan is so knowledgeable about the area, she was a great tour guide. Best of all, they demonstrated good, healthy cooking and eating. I lost a cupla pounds and was never hungry. And dear dad never knew he was eating the forbidden left-overs!! Jan did a great job at creating 'new' dishes masquerading the left over meats that dad says he will not eat!
SHH! I would never tell!

Graduation for dgd was a beautiful , touching event. over 700 graduates passing in review....an awesome site. (she didnt end up being honor grad, except for me and her sis of course) She called last night, all settled in her new base at tech school where she starts classes today for her new job.

I ramble on, ignoring the piles of things I have to unpack, launder etc. til later...

Wow, JOYce, what luck! I've played slots a few times, and never got more than a few dollars ahead ... and then I'd always blow that!

It was SUCH fun having you visit us! (Everybody, JOYce is great fun to be with, and a wonderful conversationalist. Of course, you must have figured that out just knowing her online!)

We miss you already. And WTG on losing weight!! Re: Dad, he's so funny about those things. He declares (sometimes just out of the blue) that he will never eat goat cheese, never has, and doesn't LIKE goat cheese (which he admits never tasting.) But he just loves the salads that I fix with feta on top! (I'll never tell either!) Hope you're not tiring yourself out with all the unpacking, etc.!

It sure has been quiet in here this week! Guess everyone's getting over their Labor Day fun. Stop in when you can!

Jan

Hi - glad you ladies had a great holiday.

Well, I am mostly moved up to b/f house but am keeping mine for awhile - schools back, so this week has been abit of adjustment for us all.

Anway, did the flex plan - target plus ate 20 flexpoints (no excercise to speak of) and was down 2.4# - so I was very happy about that.

Hope you all have a great day - bye for now.

HI All:
Just wanted to check in and say HI. I am hoping in 3 weeks to be back here more. And really get to know you guys. We are moving in 3 weeks so I am doing lots of packing and cleaning out. My new house is empty so I think next week I will start taking boxes over there. I feel like I can't move in here anymore.

Weight loss is going strong. Don't know if I told you but at last weigh in I go my 50 pound magnet. Right now to conserve $$ I am going just once a month and doing the rest of the time on my own. So far looks like I have another good loss coming. My next WW weigh in is on the 21st. I am hoping to be under 200 by then. I am about 2.2 pounds away from that.

Once we move I am going to get back to excerising too. I know that will help me hit goal by June. I figure I have about 50 to 55 left to lose.

People at work are really starting to notice the weight loss. And that helps. I love the new Flex Plan also.

Bluvsu2 - nice weight loss. Keep up the good work & good luck with your move.

Have a great one.
