Wow 50 already.

Anita,
My Pirate Booty came in. OMG! They are sooooo good. I bought 1 ww cheese curls yesterday and they are horrible compared to these things. I have my CHEETOES back. Almost. They are so satisfying. Now to find a place to hide them. I share the bakers cookies but not sure about these.

Hi everyone!!!!
Terri

ps. Tanner graduated from Puppy School! He got a diploma. Why is he so wild at home.

Good Evening Y'all

Thank you all for wanting me to stay. I must say that, when I started this new diet plan and even though I am trying to incorporate both low carb AND points, once I posted on the low carb board, I felt guilty about being here. But I don't wanna go so thank you for wanting me to stay.

Another Tuesday under my belt. This has been the beginning of another busy week at work. Today is day number 3 of staying OP. I know that high carbs will do us in every time, even with our points within range so I think this will be good.

Essie ~ no sweetie, I didn't feel like you thought I shouldn't be here. I just thought "oh no, I'm caught". My husband and I did this many, many years ago but not in conjunction with any other diet plan (WW). I don't feel bloated but I'm dying for bread!! I'm trying to keep the carbs at a bare minimun for the first week.

Terri ~ Congratulate Tanner for me. I know what you mean about how they are out and how they are at home. Why do they run the roost at home???? ha!

Hi Joyce, Jen, Dianne, Anita, Kelly and Myra ~(hope that's everyone)

Hope you're all having a good week so far.

Congratulations to Tanner! Terri, that's so cute. Just like a kid, acting up at home, huh? LOL

Essie, I make sure I get in the necessary milks, fruits, veggies, etc., (checking off the little boxes on the bottom of each journal sheet), but don't "count" the numbers, only points. Of course, when I go over my points limit at night by having wine, dessert, etc., I shouldn't be surprised that I'm not losing! I have no problem at all during the day, and stay strictly OP for breakfast and lunch, with no snacks. The evenings do me in. I've got to get out of the house after dinner. Now that the weather's improving, it'll be easier.

Zoe, never once have I even considered going low carb, I give you lots of credit! I'm sure you'll have a great week when you step on the scale.

I hope everyone's fine....Myra, Dianne, Joyce, Anita, Kelly, if I missed anyone, forgive me.

later!
~Jen

Here is Essie's post on page 2 of Fab 40's #49.

Hi Buds

Zoe my friend, don't even think about us not wanting you here. I hope I didn't come across that way WW could be done with any plan. That's why this program works. Last year I tried Atkins for 2 days & I felt too bloated. It was me & my nephew. We planned to try it for 2 weeks. He lost 15 lbs!!

Terri, you're right about this being for life. Someone else I know started 1 week ago & everyone noticed yesterday that she looked thinner. This is her first time on WW & she loves it. There's 5 people at my job doing it. I was telling them if we could get enough people we could have them come to the job. I think we need at least 8 or 10. I'm going to find out.

Jen, do you eat by the numbers? 2 milks, 2 fruits etc.
I was thinking about doing the points/selections. It can get complicated. At least you maintained

Does anyone know what happened to Myra? Haven't heard from her in awhile.

Till tomorrow

Essie

Hi

Terri, Tanner is soooooooo cute. Give him a big {{{hug}}} for me. Enjoy your new snack

Zoe, low carbs should work. Like I've tried it Did you take the spinning class? Around 10 minutes away from where I live they're building an Atkins warehouse. It's a beautiful building. When it opens I'm going to check it out.

Jen, I know how evenings can sabotage our almost perfect days! Evenings are my downfall. I think it's because I'm home & more relaxed. During the day I'm too busy. I'm going to try those Bakers Cookies.

I'll be back later.

Have a great day everybody

Zoe,
Good luck to you. I am too much of a Carbo addict.
I do not have the nerve again to try it. I did the Carbohydrates addict plan last year and I lost but I caved. Good luck!

Thanks everybody for Tanner's congrats! He is sooo funny. Sleeps all day by my feet no matter where they are and saves his energy for the kids and 10 minutes before the bus comes he is at the top of the steps pining away. It is like a movie. Bucky never wanted to hear that bus. Too old.


Have a wonderful Wednesday. 1 more day til Survivor. Their Rice floats away. What's up with that? What will Jeff Probsts (Spell?) take away to give them rice now.
Do you believe Nick lost 20# on that skinny little bod. he is so cute. He is a Law student at Harvard, a Capt. in the Army and a model. I don't think he is too lazy. In real life anyway. He said they edited it to make it look like he was lazy. NOT CBS!


Terri

HI everyone, sorry I've not been here for a couple of days. We have been very busy. We went to San Antonio (30 mi. west of me) to do some shopping Monday, Tuesday was spent on the road doing errands so I have not had a lot of computer time.

I went to my WW meeting last night & I lost 2.8 pounds. It felt so good to see the numbers go down my first week. I did not feel deprived either.

Zoe good luck on the low carb. I've tried it but just couldn't stick with it

Jen - I know what you mean about the evenings being tuff. If I blow being on plan it is in the evenings.

Terri/Anita - What is Pirate's Booty? I must have missed the post where you'll talked about it. I love cheetos so you caught my attention.

Hello to everyone!

Have a great day!

Joyce

Joyce, Great loss! You did very well, I'm proud of you. Getting that first loss under your belt does a lot in the morale dept. Keep it up!

Terri, their rice floats away? The preview I caught a glimpse of showed a (flash?)flood....They have nothing to give Jeff for more rice.....unless, perhaps, one of them has to sacrifice themselves and leave? Boy, they sure know what they're doing (CBS) to make sure we watch! LOL

Essie, you are too funny! I always look forward to your posts.

My daughter has the opportunity to work extra hours this summer, so I will be watching my grandsons every Tuesday this summer. They'll be dropped off on Mon. nights and picked up on Wed. mornings, so I'll get my "fix" every week! I'm looking forward to taking them to the zoos (we have 2 great ones here in Chgo. area), the lake, downtown, etc. It'll be a fun summer!

A friend of mine called from N.C. today; she had "mini" gastric bypass surgery last Friday. She has to lose 150 pounds quickly, as her blood pressure is so high they can't treat it with meds. any longer. The drs. are afraid she'll have a stroke (her mom died at 46). Unreal......she's lost 13 lbs. since Friday, and is feeling great. Is that what that singer, Carny Wilson, had?

See you later!
~Jen

Joyce,
Great loss. Congrats! Feelin' good huh?
Keep it up or should I say down? Get some good things while shopping?
Here is the website for ordering Pirate Booty. They are covered in white cheddarand are Powdery and they melt in your mouth. MMMmmm! They are a nice size for 2 pts.

http://www.robscape.com/

Jen,
They sure do know how to get you to watch. I think Tina , Elizabeth and Amber are going to blow away into the wind. LOL. I hope they all survive, literally.
Yes, that is what Carnie Wilson had. It works. I wish your friend luck. Please do not try to keep up with her losses though. They lose fast. Their stomachs are so tiny after this surgery. Tell her someone in Alabama is thinking of her.

Hi Essie, Dianne, Patti, Myra, Anita and Kelly

TTYL,
Terri

Hi All!
Glad you like the booty Terri. I love the stuff and eat it every day.
Joyce It's a white cheedar cheese puff kinda' like Cheetos, but not orange cheese, white.
I get the 1 1/2 oz. bag and count it 2 points.
I order from http://www.robscape.com
It is $24.00 a case and you get 24 bags. It is a really nice change from popcorn.

Bought a new computer system and have been working for days getting that thing set up and working.
I went to the cable internet provider and it is soooo much faster. Hard to get used to this one and still need to get my email straight and all my software loaded for this one.
Making progress though.

Hope you are all doing well and enjoying your week. It's almost Friday....smile!!!!

Anita,
Congrats on the new computer. I just got one too and it is soooo nice. So much faster. It scares me sometimes.
I am saving my booty for tonight. Just me, my book and my booty.

Hi All!
Terri

Hi all!

Terri, there's no way I would imagine keeping up w/my friend's losses....unless, of course, I went on Survivor! lol Seriously, I am relieved she'll get her blood pressure under control, it just seems such a drastic step to have to take to do it. Have fun tonite w/your booty and book! I have a passion for reading, what are you enjoying? Joe bought me Stephen King's newest novel, it's good so far.

Anita, have fun with your new computer. Ours will be 4 yrs. old next month, and seems soooo slow compared to my hubby's new laptop!

You guys have convinced me, when I go to the store, I'm going to get the white cheddar pirate's puffs. They don't look too appealing, but I'm curious now, you've said such good stuff about them! Why do you order them? Are they not available in the stores near you, or is it cause you get a better price?

Have a great day....hi to everyone!

~Jen

Hi Jen.
I can't find the Pirate Booty anywhere. Trader Joes is nowhere to be found. Get a bag. I really think you will like them. Only 2 pts. Nice big bag too.
I am glad your friend will get the blood pressure under control too. A lady in my hometown had that done yrs. ago. In the late 70's. They called it getting your stomach stapled. She was close to 400 lbs. She is still doing well and looks good.

I am reading two books simultaneously.
"Carolina Moon" by Nora Roberts (I love her books).

And the 4th Book of Harry Potter. It is 700+ pages. "Goblet of Fire".
I read the other three to the boys. Brittany read all 4 in record time. She read the 4th book in a week. Oh to be young and able to read for hours.
I wanted to know what she was reading when she started reading the first one. It all started out innocently enough and J.K. (The author) reeled me in. They are good books. I can't put this 4th one down. No wonder they are such a hit.
Have a wonderful Thursday. No school tomorrow for the kids. We are going to see "Spy Kids".

Hi everyone!
Terri

Hi guys,
Yep, Jenn, I have to order online since we have nothing in our stores around here!!
Pain, but it's so worth if for some things. I order bread online, booty, and the breakfast cookies (till they changed the reicpe) and think it's worth it since this is a lifetstyle change and I have to have my snacks to get through it.
Buy the booty for sure if it's in your area. They have different types and I got the veggie booty by mistake (24 bags of the stuff) and it was just awful!! Yuck. I threw it away. Just ordered by mistake really.
Some have said the fruity booty is okay, but haven't tried that yet.
Still trying to get alll the software on the computer today and get my email up and running. Once that's all set up, I think I'll really like the new system. I better for $2,000 it cost me.
Hope you all have a great day....it's Friday eve....

Thank God it's Thursday. This ends my work week

Anita, I tried those veggie booty snacks & I almost threw up. I couldn't get rid of the taste.
Nothing like a new computer. Enjoy it!

Terri, a couple of years ago my son was dating a girl that had her stomach stapled. She went from 250 lbs. down to size 4 I could never do anything like that. Just the thought of having staples in my stomach would freak me out. I would probably become a hypochondriac

Doing anything special for Easter? We're staying home. Church then back home. I got a free shank ham from Pathmark so that's what we're having. I'll just have a small piece. I'm not crazy about ham.

Jen, how old are your grandsons? I love being around my brother's little ones but after 1 hour I'm a nervous wreck. His youngest are twin boys, 3 yrs. old. They both want my attention so they talk to me at the same time. The six yr. old doesn't stay behind. They are so cute even though they drive me nuts sometimes.

Hi Dianne, Patti, Kelly & Joyce.
Myra come out, come out, wherever you are

Have a goodnight eveybody!

Love,
Essie
