No one posted over the weekend. Wow... hope all is going well.

I weigh in today. It's TOM for me... so we'll see how that turns out.

I did okay with points, and I ate within my range... so if I gain, I'm sure it's just PMS stuff. I'll let y'all know after lunch.

Anyone out there?

Well I had a horrible eating weekend. I went to WI on firday night and gained .4, no big deal since I ususally WI on Sat am, plus TOM starts this week. Anyway, I went to a bbq after WI and ate too many cookies, chips and queso, bad start. Saturday I went to a brunch and pigged out. Then to dinner with my family for my graduation and Mother's Day. 33 points over for the day, very bad. the food was wonderful though! If I had not eaten hors d'oeuvres I would have been a little better off. I had the most delicious broiled crab cakes, they are wonderful where I live. then yesterday was graduation and I ate a little too much in the morning, lunch was 10 points, way too many hors d'oeuvres again and not as terrible at dinner. Over by 12. Lots of recovery needed this week and it will be tough with my dad in town.

Although I didn't eat well I had anice weekend. I got to see my grandmother and Uncle who cam up for my graduation from graduate school. My dad was also here. We had a lovely time. I wish I didn't have to work today since my dad is still here. I wish I could spend more time with him, it's been 6 months since he was here last.

So how was everyone else's weekend? I am going to go back and read Friday's thread at some point. I worked from home on Friday and really took it easy. I finished all of my work but had lots of extra time so I sat outside and read, cleaned and ran a few errands. It was wonderful. I could get used to that although I am sure that I will get busier.

Well I have some more homework to do eventhough I graduated this weekend. I still have a project to do over the summer and an incomplete to finish on my independent study. I will talk to you all later.

I just wanted to post it before people came to the board. I chose all if the above - i have very eclectic taste in music. But mostly, I like rock.

I wanted add R&B, but I don't think i can go back and edit the poll.

I'm really nervous about WI. I know I did well, but I've yet to have my period at WI until today and I don't know what to expect. I haven't gained at all since New Years, and I just don't want to gain.

I know it's TOM and I should not let the scale get to me...

Brenda - Yeah Avs! Sakic is my JAM! I'll be watching tonight. Thank God - this series all the games start at 7:00 and 8:00 my time. I won't have to lose sleep.

Y'all have a good day.

Hello all. Weekend went well for me. We bought a new fridge. Tonya, I took your advice and got one with the freezer on the bottom. It is stainless steal and very cool looking. I love it. Now I just need some new ovens and a cook top. Maybe in a few months.

It is raining here today and sorta depressing out side. I really like it sunny better, but we did need the rain.

Lisa: don't worry about TOM. If it happens to go up a bit, don't let that getyou down as it is water weight not real and temp. Don't let that start a binge or anything. I am sure you will do great!

Sarah: congratulations on your graduation. Have fun with you dad in town.

Lolly: how was the wedding you went to?

Ok, need to get back to work. Talk with you all later today./

Hello! I'm back from the wedding weekend...had a blast but we ate waaay too much-I need to do some serious damage control this week...but I don't care-I had fun!
Hopefully I haven't gained back the 2 pounds I lost!

I was just catching up on the posts from Friday...that peeing toilet theme was hilarious....I peed on the side of a highway once...

Anyhow-I'm at work overnight again-this schedule sucks!!! But I have very defined eating here aslong as it isn't holiday time, so that's good.

Belle-hope your weekend went ok-I know your WI will be great this week....

And to Jen and Trish-I am 29 now too-and I hope I can keep posting ehre! you guys are awesome...we may have to change to 20's and 30's groups!

Tilley-Good luck with WI...I always go up at TOM so don't stress it-it goes away the next week...

Hello to everyone else out there!!!

Bye for now-Lori

I listen to everything. I grew up on what's now classic country, switched to top 40 in elementary school (b/c the kids made fun of me for listening to country), changed to 80's, 90's rock in HS and now it just depends on my mood. You should see DH and I's CD collection. Everything from classical to thrash metal!

I actually had a pretty good weekend for a change WW wise! I banked 4.5 points on Friday and 1 point on Saturday Sunday was tougher with it being Mother’s Day. We took DH’s parents out for breakfast and had breakfast burritto’s. Then I headed up to my parents. I did an hour and a half of weeding for my Mom (sun & exercise points!) and then we went out for the worst possible food to count points for: Chinese! I love it. I didn’t have my WW book with me so I didn’t know the most sensible thing to get so I went for the worst thing I knew I could get: Sweet & Sour chicken. Even so, I was 6 over for the day but had earned 4 exercise points and had those points banked from Friday. I’m going to drink a ton of water the next two days to make sure I’m rid of all that sodium! I walked Nestle both Sat and Sun too! I’m almost a whole week OP including banked points. I’m so proud of myself! I just realized I forgot to pack a lunch this morning. That’s bad b/c then I end up munching on Red Flag foods or eating only popcorn for lunch. I’ll figure something out. I hope all of you Mom’s had a wonderful day yesterday! What did you husbands/kids do for you?

Lisa: Good luck at WI! Don’t stress so much about it. You will have a gain sooner or later but it's not a big deal as long as you keep up OP! What a game Sat huh? I went absolutely NUTZ when Sakic scored on the penalty shot. The one night I want the game to be at 8 my time and it’s an early one. I promised a friend I would go to her son’s baseball game and it’s his B-day to boot. His game starts at 6, same time the Av's start I think I’m going to take my walkman. I’m just sick about it. The Blues are going to really come out to play tonight!

Sarah: Aren’t BBQ’s the worst? It’s in the past so just start fresh today. You can do it

Trish: Glad you got the new fridge. Isn’t it fun to figure out where you want everything to go?

Lori: Glad you had a good time at the wedding. You guys better not dissappear! You are right, we are going to have to get that title changed.

KO: Congrats on the grades! I love bananas for breakfast personally.

Hi girls!! No posts over the weekend...hmmmm....

Well, thanks for all your warm wishes, I am doing okay. Friday b/f came over at 7pm and I was cleaning my place for the party I had on Saturday, and he was v. sucky...I totally had it out with him. I told him that I was on a rollercoaster, that I couldn't take this hot and cold thing, either we are together and he wants to be there or not. He basically told me that he was in a mood, what he did was wrong....we talked about the ex and stuff too, and he said he was lashing out at me. That he was a bit afraid of how he was feeling about me. ANd the stuff about not loving me and never loving me was not true. I have to be honest, I was thinking "whatever....". As I am sure some of you are right now.

I ended up saying that I now hold the cards and I just simply won't put up with this, so this is his last chance. One more row like that and he's outta my life. He seemed pretty scared, and was awesome to me all weekend. He is on business for 3 days so I won't see him and last night he was going on about how much he'd miss me until wednesday night...and kissed me on the corner this morning again.

I really know this is the last chance. It felt so good to be in control of the situation and know I wasn't backing down!! You know??

Lisa - good luck at WI!!
Sarah - well, at least you enjoyed your weekend and are back on board, right??
Trish - rain depresses me too....I wonder how I would do in England or Ireland where it rains lots...maybe I have SAD??
Kier - thanks for the card...that really cheered me up!! V. sweet of you.....I hope the doc goes okay....how is your body reacting other than weird cravings??
Lori - glad you enjoyed your wedding weekend!!
Brenda - woo hoo girl!! I NEVER bank on weekends...very very bad. Remember the old weekends free ww program? My mom was on it.....she never lost a thing....

Well, my boss came by and asked for a little meeting, so I am off like a herd of wild turtles.

Belle

I'm ready to call it a day. PMS sucks!!
We're having a conversion from Lotus to another system for all of our loan tracking so this week will be frightening!!
I voted everything but I can't stand Rap!! I usually listen to Christian, though. I love K-Love!
Ok, must get to work...did awful on eating this weekend. We'll see at WI!
Have a great day and hello to everyone!!!!!

I can't say that I have ever listened to Christian, but isn't that group that sings can you take me higher and the one about having a baby Christian?? They are on the charts here.....can't remember their name!!

Well, busy busy day...bettermosy!!

Belle

HI everyone. Yucky Monday here... a huge storm is about to hit us. It is really rumbling outside!! Emma decided to wake up at 5:30 this morning. That isn't so bad since we start to try to get up at that time... but it is nice when she sleeps a little longer so we can get ready. She had a long weekend so she went to bed early. So this morning Sadie and I took a long walk... good thing because I hear it is supposed to rain the next 3 days!!! Anyhoo, remember that story I told where Sadie turned around and jumped on me... she did it again this morning... 3rd time. I don't know if she gets weird vibes at this spot or what... but it is annoying!!!

For mothers day Emma got me a cute little candle holder... it is a watering can. And hubby bought me an outside double plant holder. If it ever stops raining I will get all my plants planted.... argggg. We also went for breakfast... and I had an egg beaters omelet!!!

OHHHHHH for WI I lost 1.6 pounds. YAHHHHH ME!

Stacy... I am with you on the PMS... mine will hit this week!

Brenda.... HOW AWESOME on your weekend!

Lori... welcome to the 29 and up group. My b-day is tomorrow. I never have special ones, so I get bummed out!

Trish... My parents bought the fridge on top model and now I wish I would have. They are very nice!!

Kierie... I like egg whites, but sometimes a banana hits my sweet spot in the morning.

Lisa... I used to gain during TOM but last month I lost that week. Just stay OP!!

Ohh I voted everything... my CD collection also is a huge hodge podge!!!

Have a great day everyone!!

Oh b4 i forget i voted everything b/c well i like everything
my mp3 collection is everything from the grateful dead to rage against the machine to jackie wilson and diana kreel i think thats her name if you like swing/jazz shes amazing
when i'm at school I have my alarm on this painfully right wing christian station the music is nice but if the guy is talking i jump out of bed immediately lol
belle hows the boss? and btw you go girl!

ps i saw this hbo special on kids in pageants last night it was scary did anyone see it?

Re: Poll. I voted Country but I listen to Coiuntry, Top 40, Rock and Rap. I don't listen to Classical or Easy Listening. It just depends on my mood and I flip stations in the car a lot.

Today is going painfully slow so far. I really wish I wasn't here today and could go hang out with my dad and do stuff around the house. I have a meeting tonight which makes the feeling worse. After having guests, I really like to straighten up and I need to do laundry again!

Belle - I am glad you are in control and feeling better.

Jen - Happy Mothers day. congrats on your great WI.

Kierie - I hope the doc has a good recommendation for you.

Stavey - I will have PMS soon too.

Brenda - You did so great this weekend, way to go! I am really impressed with your exercise and banking points. I was the exact opposite!

Ok, I am totally bored so I know I will be back.

Hi Ladies,

Belle~ glad to hear you had it out with your bf and he knows that he is on a probation of sorts. definately keep to your words...my mom always says words hurt the most so he shouldnt say such things to you.

lisa~ good luck at WI if you have gained then at least you know it is due to tom.

lori~ welcome back! I need to do damage control this week too!

Sarah~ I hear ya on the straightening up after guests...i have a ton to do.

Well, mothers day wasn't as bad as i thought with the future mil. strangely, she seems to like me. she liked all the furniture that i brought with me when i moved in. we never told her straight out that i had moved in but i think she probably realized yesterday. poor bf had to listen to her complain and gab over everything but he was a good sport and even put in some good words for his sis and her situation.

I went to WI and lost 3.8 wooohooo!!! I didn't like the meeting too much though and next week i am going to drive out to the next town for the WW center there. i was glad about the loss and my jeans felt better on yesterday. We had chinese food but i didn't do too bad. i ate a very small portion. of course MIL brought over a huge mocha cake and an apple cake!!! AAAHHHHHH!!!! good thing is i am not into apple pies too much but that mocha cake! i haven't had any so far and i tried to get bf to bring it to work with him but roomate wanted to keep it at the house! it's at least in the cellar fridge

Well, have a good one! Wish me luck my first ever grad class is tonight!!

Hi girls!

Okay - well I stayed exactly the same. At one split second, it read that I had lost a half pound, but it stabalized at the same weight as last week.

I am not bummed though. I mean I have not gained anything in 2001. And for me, that's an enormous accomplishment. 4 1/2 months without a gain.

SUZANNE!!! 3.8! That's amazing! Keep up the good work!

Jen-L - I now LOVE egg beaters. Aren't they great? It's my new kick. Add a bunch off red and green peppers and I'm in heaven.

Belle - Sounds like you know what you're doing. Good girl. Make him deserve you.

Stacy - you're right! PMS sucks. I better lose a good number (at least 2 pounds) next week to make up for this. We'll see.

Lori - Good luck with the damage control. I know you'll do fine.

KO - so you don't like Meridia? I asked my dad about it (he's a doctor) and he said he wanted to wait and see how I do without it before he gave me a prescription. It's makes you eat weird? Does it make you feel full?

Brenda - Yeah, that penalty shot was so cool. I'm sorry you'll miss the game. I have to miss it on Friday I can't wait until tonight. I just hope they can close out this home ice advantage stuff. I'm predicting a goal from Drury tonight. Is that jinxing it?
