Hi Turtles,
Well, we're hopping here. I' ve been catching up on Christmas decorations and gifts, etc. Somehow no matter what I do, I'm behind and it's been that way since 9/1. LOL. In any case, I want to keep in touch here and the other things will wait.
Here's my opinion: I wish WW's had waited until the New Year to put forward its new program. I'm doing so much now that learning and implementing this is a lot to do. However, that said, my weight is changing for the better. Yay! I was eating waaaaaay too much bread since it only cost me one point. Now I'm Scrooge with my bread points and I'm eating better. My doctor adjusted a medication for me, my hives seem a tiny bit better, and I'm paying attention to WW's with the more realistic points. With all that perfect storm coming together, I'm hoping that I can drop weight again this year. Enough about me!
Life4evr, Weigh to go with the gym. I love your determination!
Keep up the good work. It looks like your and my nemesis was bread. Good to know!
Princess,
: to help keep the stress in check. You've had all those birthdays and Thanksgiving and now the baby shower (ooooh---a baby), so of course there's stress. The Pancake House story isn't even funny. I love the flexibility of the TOPS groups, but gosh------Pancakes?
Sorry the food was cra......., but at least you know what to get next time. Good luck with the shower. I hope you have decent weather and everyone has a really good time. By the way, thanks for the tip about having nuts in the shell in the candy dishes. That is definitely something I'll do this Christmas.
Bandit, what a great idea for me to serve the veggie pie. I may just do that because some of the girls may not have ever had it. Thanks for the suggestion. Also: the granola bar=cookies is something I never thought of before. Great! Good luck with your food this week. You're doing great!
By the way, I think you and Princess are smart to stay with the old WW's until later since there's lots to think about.
Robin,
to you! We're always happy to have new members. I had to laugh about your comment about 29 points for you and the very slim office worker. I had the same sensation. A skinny minny who sits next to me at my WW mtg. and I have the same 29 points. I'm just going to trust WW on this and not worry about anyone else. I had been eating suggested points and I did not lose weight. Hopefully WW has learned the real stuff this time around and I'll lose weight again.
Alliez,good luck with everything you're doing. I know what you mean about the points---the first day I tried it I had 15 points left *after* dinner. I don't want to do that again. Yesterday I was hungry for the first time, and I think that was my body telling me I was dropping weight. I hope that keeps up.
Cherry, hope you and the kids all stay well. Look at how much weight you've lost. You're doing great!!!!!!
KimL, hope you're doing fine! Chime in when you can.

Off to friends' house for dinner, then the rest of the weekend will be quiet---as of now. LOL. That tends to change quite often with me!
