hi, coco. i have missed you, girl!! i don't know what to say about exercising. three miles sounds like a lot to me. my foot is healing slowly. i went bowling yesterday and have it sore again. oh, well, life goes on.

melissa, how's your day? are you back on program?

vickie, sounds like you had a fabulous birthday. wicked again!! you lucky girl. i'm happy for you. and being godmother! wonderful news.

kathy, enjoy your pool. $300 for tickets sounds very high. i don't think i'd go either. it would be different if it weren't on television.

frouf, i understand about problems falling asleep. when i'm having trouble, i run my shot sequence. guess i bore myself to sleep. :lol:

nikki!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 8 lbs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i am very very impressed. it's going to take you a week to wipe that smile off your face. congratulations.

coco, you might want to try counting your points for awhile till you get back on track. that's helping me. there is a photo of me on here. i'm the one in black.

angela, that sounds exciting. good success on getting the perfect dress.

frouf and kathy, you are amazing. i'm coming to you next time i need to find something.

I'm so dissapointed!! I just called the Weight Watchers Center in Mexico, and they do`n't have The Core Program, just the Flex Points, which did not work for me, mainly because I had a lot of points which I mainly used for treats... The worst part, is I just came back from a vacation in Texas last week, if only I had known, I would visit a center before coming home.... I thought about using the "at home service" from the web page in the States, but it looks like they send you some kind of "kit" by mail, so it won`t work if I live in Mexico, still I sent an email and asked them for advice, since I still have my Point calculator and was familiar with the Flex Point, so I'm hopeful that we might find a solution.... Just when I was so happy and excited about the whole thing: it`s just like me, the lawn always looks greener on the other side... LOL

Maggie

maggie, are you sure you can't do ww at home over the net? i didn't know they couldn't mail out of the country.

I'm not sure, I contacted the web page and I'm waiting for an answer. I think it might work out, since the biggest objection might be the payment method, and I do have a credit card from my account in the States, so I'll just have to wait for their confirmation... I think the biggest challenge might be in that a lot of the products you relly on (like all the fat free cheeses, dairy, etc) are not available in Mexico, but I`m willing to give it a try anyway: I think that this might be a very good solution for me in the long term, you know how I've tried a lot other diets and lose, but the moment you go back to the old bad eating habits you gain the weight again? I`m tired of that, and I don`t think it`s healthy to yo-yo back and forth. I`ll keep you posted as soon as they give me my answer and thank you for the support!!

Maggie

good success to you, maggie.

Darn, Maggie! That stinks but I also hope you that can figure out something. I'm thinking if you can't find a lot of the FF stuff, it'll be a little hard to do because you'll be spending your points for dairy and other things you have to substitute. Maybe there's still hope though.

I sat outside for a while and am counting down the minutes until American Idol. I can't wait! ( :lol: I think I say that every week!! )

kathy, i even dreamed of ai last night. :lol: i am more excited today than normal. are you ready to vote?

Dialing finger is poised and ready for a workout! Everybody better STAY OFF THE PHONE around here! Mama will be on a rampage! :lol: I'll have to put the the cell phone and fax line to use too!

good idea. did you get my e about ai?

AAAAHHHHH! I just finished writing a post and the power went off then back on so I have to rewrite what I can remember.

Thanks everyone for all your great support!!

Sandra, yes I am still smiling. When I told DH he said to me jokingly did you get a gold star, then I told him I did get a star.


Vickie congratulations, going to be a "fairy godmother" that is such an honor. Your dh sounds very sweet, I have to say I married a sweety too!

Froufy I am having a hard time sleeping also, I get up constantly during the night and then I have a hard time getting back to sleep. Last night my dd got up 3x, so I am very tired today.

Angela good luck finding a dress. Are the kids feeling better.

Kathy enjoy your pool, you have to see me sitting in a kiddie pool in my back yard with my kids, anything to cool off.

Melissa how is work?

Lynn, Maggie, and 1fatoldlady, welcome!

Rose enjoy your vacation.

:cheer:

Hey there chickies. I made some fake Texas Roadhouse Southwest Chicken sandwiches for dinner and they were really good. I grilled chicken breast, topped with provolone cheese (not ff! :o ), then sour cream, lettuce, and black beans (seasoned with chili powder and garlic powder). Served them with oven fries! We get this at the Roadhouse and it is so good. Mine wasn't exact but it was still very tasty! I recommend it. I'm sure you could even leave off the cheese and not tell much difference, I was just trying to match the restaurant's version.

Maggie, you know you might be able to follow the core plan online even without ww support. There is a lot of (probably illegal!) info on the net that details the program. Just a thought. Good luck to you!

Sandra, how are you today gf? I just love reading your posts, you're so perky. I can just see you in one of those bright yellow "life is good" t-shirts! :D And no, I wouldn't say I'm op, but I'm getting there. I'm at least sticking with a plan!

Vickie, congrats on your "godmother-ship"! :lol: That is a very great honor. She is in good hands!

I didn't tell you all that Friday is our 5th anniversary. We are going to a local steakhouse that is quite pricey. Our realtor gave us some gifts certs when we closed, so we're going to put them to good use. I am actually looking to see if they have a website so I can plan ahead! ;)

Be back in a minute.

Here is the menu. I'm thinking about going all out and having a fabulous steak!

Vickie, yes we are very, very happy with our new home. It is so exciting and I don't think it has really set in yet. All of our belongings are still in boxes in the garage and there is so much to be done. But it is fun.

Kathy, how's the vacation fund coming? Did you talk Judd out of the tickets?

Frouf, I hope that you are able to get some rest tonight. Did you go shopping with DS? Maybe, like me, you need to start your before-bed routine earlier. I think "I want to go to bed at 10:30" but then I don't get up to get ready for bed until then. Silliness. Anyway, I hope you rest tonight!

Niki, congrats again, such an amazing loss. Please continue to post your menus!

Well I think I'm going to get something else done around here, like folding laundry. Whoo-hoo! I'm trying not to snack due to w/i for biggest loser competition tomorrow. I'm still quite nervous about it. I'm just drinking lots of water and staying away from salt!
