Hi Everyone! And HI AND WELCOME to all the new ladies!

Well, ladies as you know I have not been on plan per say for a couple months. But I woke up this morning and just said this is it! I don't care if I have other things go on too! I have to make time for myself. I have been at the same weigh for months now! And I am going to change it! I have already started my water for the day! And I feel good about myself!

I am glad everyone here is doing so great! And for those who are down, cheer up Life is great! I am learning that things don't have to revolve around food. LIFE DOES NOT REVOLVE AROUND FOOD! And If I want something I am going to have it. But as time goes on, there are just things that you learn to live without.

Well, My home building process if moving smoothly now! My blueprints will be done Monday and I will bring them and the cost sheet to the bank and it takes three weeks to close at the bank. And we are off!!!! I am excited but I am also exciting about going back on plan!

LETS HAVE A GREAT ON PLAN DAY!

As Bob and Wendy and (Wendy) Says : CAN WE DO THIS, YES WE CAN!!!!!!!!!!!

Have a great day Penny

193.50/173.50/140

"YES WE CAN" gOOD almost afternoon ladies.
Penny- it was so nice seeing you on this thing. We were worried about you, and glad to hear the house thing is going great. I'm also glad to read what you wrote.
It's been at least 2 weeks that I haven't written everything down, I just realized last night that my every thought hasn't been on food. I lost 5.25 pounds in 2 weeks. Going back to work porbably helped, I move more at work. I also noticed I do more when I get home too. So in general I'm being a bit more aware of what is going in my mouth, better choices, smaller sizes, and some more activity that seems to be working. I'm working on getting information (organized) to follow the ww plan, but I'm apparently not starving myself. And I'm happy not thinking about food all the time. I pack my lunch and breakfast, and I stick to that, I plan for anything extra that I might want. I'm going to continue living for my family and myself, and get off the food thing. Just be overall healthy.
I feel great, too I'm really happy today. My attitude for work has also changed.
Meeting went well. The low fat brownies were a hit, and they said my program was informitive.
Eleni-love the joke the other day
Sherri-hope you are doing well on program today. I'm getting there, I am curious about how many points I'm getting in a day, and I know I could eat more veggies.
doing great on the rest of the stuff.
all you ladies out there, have a great day being you, and enjoy life. Thinking of all of you Wendy

I am so glad to see so many people on here this week!! I also love the attitudes you ladies have today, I sure needed it...... I am doing really good so far today but havent been on track for about a week now, I guess I just got hungry LOL. I am over it though and ready to get back to the program that got me this far and stick with it, Why I ever quit it I will never know. I guess we all goof sometimes, But as of today I am in a much better mood and feel great about my decision, So here I am LOL, I love being with you guys!!!

To all the newbies..... WELCOME and to everyone else.... Hang in there ladies, we are worth it

Wow!!

I can't believe all the great attitudes! It's rubbing off!! I'm having a good day. Busy getting ready for a yard sale this Saturday. It's amazing how much stuff you acculmilate and we olny just moved in this house last September! There is no where to go with anything here. I only have 2 closets in a 3 bedroom house with 4 people! Creativity in organization is my hobby!

Hope everyone has a great day!

Welcome back Penny!!

What a breath of fresh air to come in here and find all these bright, cheerful faces!!! You guys sound so pumped!!

I'm glad everyone is having a great OP week so far. Keep up the great work!

I've been feeling better today since I'm at home. I've been able to rest so my legs and feet aren't swollen today and I'm not hurting like I was yesterday. So it's been a good day. I started packing my suitcase.... just a little bit here and there, mostly stuff for the baby. My stuff will have to wait til we leave for the hospital.

Better go! Have a great night ladies!!

Hey ladies, sadie, and lady and everyone,

Tops was great today.The scale was nice to me and said I lost 4 lbs..My sister lost 5 1/2 .This is our treat day and we reward ourselves for working so hard all week long . No guilt here.We have that special treat we want and get right back on the ball tomorrow.

Hope everyone is having a good day...

Only 7 more lbs til my first goal.....of 350. dosent sound like a big deal but to me its a giant step....


Your pal
Cbabe

CBabe.... congratulations! That's a great weigh-in. At our chapter, we're happy with a quarter pound. Everyone says "that's a stick of butter." That gives us a visual of how much a quarter pound is. You and your sister are doing great and it won't be long before you reach your first goal.

Stephanie.... Glad you're feeling better today. Is your baby due on the 5th of August? That's my little grandson, Matthew, first birthday. We're hoping to spend it with him in Las Vegas.
You asked yesterday where I lived in FL. We live on the east coast, just across the river from Kennedy Space Center. I believe Fort Walton Beach is in the panhandle, on the gulf, isn't it. I haven't been there, but hope to be up in that area someday.

Nita

You Go C-Babe!!! WOOOO HOOOO!! We are all SO proud of you.... Keep up the great work.... And I just know you will reach that goal in no time, And Girl... You shouold be excited!! You are working hard and it is paying off, So dont be so modest girl... You deserve to show off

Tonight was my Meeting, and I lost 1 1/2 pounds

I'm pleased with myself because I've been following my menu and exercising everyday and it is showing! I'm not going to allow myself to lose the momentum I've got going.

Congrats CBabe on your loss and to everyone else on their super attitudes... together we can make this happen for us all!

Lara

Hi Lara,

Congratulations on the loss that is great. See I knew you could do it. You are right don't lose the momentum you have started. It is so easy to do that. Keep thinking positive and know you can accomplish what you want if you work at it.

cbabe,

Congratulations to you also. You should be so proud of yourself like christie said. You should be shouting from the rooftops. You deserve the attention and you should have a huge smile on your face and in your heart because you know that you did this by yourself. You are the ones that made those great choices all week. And you know now they were the right ones. Keep it up and you will be at your first goal in no time. And it is a big deal to all of us for you to reach your first goal as well. It is all these little goals that are going to add up in time to get your to your ultimate goal. Way to goal girl. Keep smiling and don't change what you are doing because it is working.
It must be nice to be doing this with your sister. I think it would be easier for me if I had someone right here with me doing a plan as well. That is why I am so thankful for phone cards so that I can call on my friends during the week to keep me going and to keep them going.
We all make a great team.

Hi Stephanie,

Glad to hear that you are feeling better. Maybe you are going to have to end working until the baby comes. Sounds like it is too much on you with all the swelling and stuff. Take care of you and rest. It is exciting packing all the babies stuff isn't it? Have a great day.

Shelly,

That is great that you have such a great attitude as well. That is what we all need to make it through and when we do that is when we lose this weight. It is when we are down that we gain. Sad but true anyways. Keep going sticking to your plan.
Good luck with your yard sale. I love yard sales. I know it is a lot of work having them. That is why I go to them and don't have them.LOL

Christie,

Glad to hear that you are back on the wagon as well. That is okay that you were off for awhile. At least now you can concentrate and do what you are supposed to do. How was the fruit last night.LOL Hope it filled you.
REMEMBER WE ARE ON PLAN NO MATTER WHAT TODAY GIRL. WE CAN DO THIS. WE DON'T HAVE TO STARVE OURSELVES EITHER!

Wendy,

Glad that everything is starting to settle down. Sounds like you are starting to get back in the swing of things. That is great that they all liked your low fat brownies. See when we relax in life and enjoy instead of stressing it definitely makes a difference wether we lose or not. Congratulations on the loss. Keep up the great work. That is great that you are packing your lunch it helps to keep you honest and you can make great choices that way. We don't have to give up what we want like eleni says. Just remember moderation. Have a bite of something instead of the whole thing. But I wasn't thinking that yesterday myself.LOL

Penny,

Hey girl welcome back. I am so glad that you finally realized that you have to make time for you. In the end you will be glad you did in so many ways. Building a house is very stressfull. And with you taking time for you then you can have some down time and know that you are keeping yourself healthy in the meantime. Great attitude. Isn't it funny how one day we just wake up like you did and say okay today is the day I have had enough. That has happened a few times to me. Keep up the great attitude. I will be getting a new phone card next week or sooner so I will be talking to you more often.LOL Glad everything seems to be moving along great for your house.

Eleni,

How are you doing today. That is great that you had a good night last night. See you can do it. We are rooting for you. You can do this we have faith in you and we are all praying for you. So you can't lose with us on your side.LOL
