  • Great going Myra! This is getting exciting!!!!
  • Again congrats Myra. You are doing so well and it shows! They're right when they say: Nothing tastes as good as thin feels. Passing that bar into the 160's is the best. Savor it this week and - since it's your Birthday - reward yourself. You deserve it.

    Lala - whoa! I'm tired just reading the number of times you were woken up.

    Jamie - physical work around the house absolutely counts. Just figure out if the intensity was mild, med or intensive and you can count the points. I usually figure 1 pt for 1 - 2 hrs of pretty light activity, 2 pts for med level activity / hr and (as the good WW book says) 5 pts per hr of Heavy intensive (can't catch your breath) level. Patch
  • Congrats Myra! Way to go!

    Patch-Thanks for the info and the reassurance. LOL.
