See, now this is what the board is supposed to look like--lots of wonderful losers (hehe) posting all day long! I missed the board being like this, glad it's starting to pick back up!!
So, some responses!
Star--Welcome to board!! As you can tell, we're always glad to have another!!
Members of this board are sort of like 0-point veggies--you ccan have as many as you want, are good for you , and you don't have to use any points to enjoy them.
They're also a little like chocolate--you never get sick of them, they're wonderfully sweet, and you always want more.
Goodness, I'm quite the analogy-girl today, aren't I?
Tanya--I'm so happy to hear about your new-found motivation and I really like how you've kind of "simplified" WW. You're right, ya know, it really can be that easy. So I'm going to try and just follow those three basics and hopefully be skinny before I know it.
Lexxy--I'm exactly like you with food. If I don't put it in seperate serving sizes, I'll eat it all. One night, I made these super-lean pork chops and had plans to eat one the next day for lunch and one for dinner. I ended up eating all three that very same night. (Needless to say, that was followed by a tummy-ache). And yes, I suffer from hypothermia-inducing temperatures at work, too. We all have little space heaters that we keep under our desks for our cold days. And, yes I've heard that it is true that your body burns more calories when you're trying to stay warm. Someone said that your body has to work harder to maintain your body temperature and it makes you burn more calories. True or not, I don't know...
Winter--Can you tell me exactly what constitutes a good workout? As far as I can tell, there's no such thing.
No really, I didn't work out last week as a reward to myself for losing 2 lbs, but that was a mistake and I'm sort of starting to miss it... Good thing I work at the gym now and can work out while I'm getting paid for it.
WAY TO GO on your loss! That is absolutely AWESOME! I'm so happy that I'm going to stick a picture of a dancing monkey right here:
And to those of you with no one to hump on Hump Day, I'm going to be alone tonight, too... I mean, I guess I have someone to hump, but not tonight... Oh, forget it.
Rina--Thanks for stopping in... I really need to start my packing for my big move, but I just don't know where to store all the boxes. See, the thing is, I get spiders really bad in spring. The building is old and not sealed very well at all, so I don't want to stack the boxes on the floor because I'm afraid the spiders will crawl in there or just that I'll move the boxes and one will crawl out or something. So, I'm stacking the boxes on my couch and it's getting full already. So I guess I'll just have to wait to move the rest of the stuff.
Kim--Amen about the obesity comment! I think you're exactly right. Maybe they have the same mentality that my WW Leader does--"Hmmm, if we say mean things about overweight people, maybe they'll get off their butts." Those sonsabi--I better stop there...
OK, I'm gonna get a little more done here...
