Just a quick note. WIW was not good to me. I was up seven. I was a bit surprised at how much...but oh well! I feel bloated, so maybe it will be gone by next Wednesday. Yesterday was a bad day. I probably ate the equivalent of a large candy bar in Hershey's nuggets. I can't even begin to figure out what came over me....
The pain in my breastbone and back is much better. I think I must have pulled a muscle or had a pinched nerve. A dose of three ibuprofen knocks it out nicely now. Before, nothing helped!
Last night, as I was getting ready to post, the power went out! A transformer blew, and we were without power for three hours. I finally went to bed. Once I got to sleep, the power came back on, lights, computer, and all! I nearly jumped out of bed I was so startled!
COUNTRY: What do you use for a target for archery practice? I looked at the Saunders mats, which is what I would like, but its too much $$! I got arrows on ebay, and once they get here, I am going to want to get out there and do some shooting! But I need a target! There are so many kinds, like bags and backdrops, etc. - it is hard to figure out.

Hey All!!
Just a quick post to say I'm still around before the DD Mistress sends out the posse for me. Sounds like most everyone is having a good WIW, not me, though. I'm up 1.5 pounds. I have no idea why except the dr did put me on a new hormone and he said that the first month may throw me out of whack. After that, it should settle down.
I see we have several new people. Welcome aboard everyone.
Gotta get back to work.
Trish

Cha cha5 and mrsturk--welcome! You'll get lots of help and support here.
I've been MIA for about 10 days--spring finally sprung and there's so much to do in the yard. I went shopping last Saturday and bought a new pair of capri's and the walk away the pounds ab tape. This is the first pair of pants that I've bought in the last 3 years that weren't out of absolute neccesity.
Quilter--I know what you mean about dropping down into the next number on the scales! I bought a new scale which weighed 4.5 pounds heavier than the one I started with--big bummer! It was like I had to lose those 4 and 1/2 pounds all over. I kept running to the old one so that I'd feel good.
We're having a potluck at work Friday so I made catsup and boiled eggs to make spinach salad.
The yard is calling me--possibility of snow on Sunday---I don't even care because I'm so happy to know that it won't be around for long. My darling son who lives in Florida sent me a box of Godiva chocolates for my birthday,and he even sent the all milk chocolate ones because he remembered that's what I liked. How many miles would I have to walk to compensate for 1 piece?
Deb--you did say the granulated fructose is legal? One of the stores is going out of business so I bought all their equal and two boxes of granulated fructose--if it's not legal I will pitch it!
I got the directions to a health food store---right behind the Krispy Kreme Store--what irony. Gotta go,I'll try to check in more often.

Wednesday afternoon
Hey everybody. I'm really tired from my "journey" to the store. Just wanted to reply to a few things though.
Lin, I have a 8 yr. old (she'll be 9 apr. 14), a 6 yr. old, (she'll be 7 sep. 28), and then the 3 yr. old, (she'll be 4 apr. 2). I'm not so worried about the 3 yr. old cleaning up anything yet, but the other two shouldn't have ever let it get that way. I wouldn't worry about their room if it was just toys everywhere, but they have EVERYTHING out.
Jack-k, Really? I'm always afraid I'll end up making a mess of myself on the first day. They normally get better by the second day. I think I got my walking in today anyways though, walking through the store from one end to the other about a million times it seemed. I would remember something I wanted that was on the other side and have to go all the way back over there.
Ok, that's it from me for right now, I need to get some fruit, (need a snack).

Gotta make this quick- been so busy the past few days and I haven't been that great with my eating the past few days either. Friday I ate king size M&M's and then again on Sunday. Then Monday I ate way too many starchy carbs and yeaterday I was legal but just ate too much. Plus, I was craving something sweet after supper last night and I made a smoothie- okay 2 smoothies!, from frozen strawberries, milk and splenda. Very delicious but I got carried away. So I'm at 201(up 1) this WIW. I've done okay today though. Alright, I gotta go guys- Congrats to all the losers this week- and if you didn't TOMMORROW IS A NEW DAY!

Hello everyone!
YELLOWROSE-- HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY! Glad to see you got some nice birthday news from the doc.
BETH--HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY to you too! I hope you're doing well. Hope you can pop in and keep us updated.
AGAPE--HOORAY for you for 23lbs gone!
Welcome chacha5!
Welcome Nicole! You are doing great.
I weighed this morning and am down 1/2 lb. So that is good. I was so depressed the other day though because it seemed that no matter what I did, the scale was up the next day. Now that I have started trying to get in my water, it has started to move back down again. Hooray for water!!!!
I took my accessment Math test today for the Nursing Program, and passed it. Tuesday I take the Algebra. It would be great if I don't have to take Algebra, but I'm not betting on it. I remember some, but it has been a very long time since I have even looked at it.
My Mom is doing better. Her arms are hurting her though because of having to use the walker and not putting any weight on her right leg. I told her she is going to be "muscle woman" after three months of this.
I haven't been walking for the past couple of months. I have a bone spur (I think) on the side of my heel. Anyway there is a lump about the size of a grape. It hurts like h---!! I'm going to the doctor for my yearly next week. I'm going to ask about it. Tomorrow I have to go for bloodwork. I'm pre-diabetic and praying that I don't have to start taking medication. I've been checking it with my mom's monitor and so far it has been ok.
Well, I am sorry that I haven't resonded to everyone individually. I kind of lost track of everyone after not being here for the past couple of days. But you all know that I'm always thinking of you and cheering you on with your healthy endeavors.
Sheanne

Hi all,
Running out to get my nails done just wanted to post a quickie.
Monet, sorry you were up so much today. Hopefully next week will be better.
Trish, Soory you were up today too. This WIW is not too good. What a scare your longhorns had the other night. You may play the Cats yet.
Earlybird. It's always nice to get new clothes. You will like the tape.
Sheanne, Congrats on that 1/2 lb. Water really does help. Good luck on your test. You will do great.
have a great night
Jackie

Jack-K - I've got the Horns and Cats in the Championship game. I will admit that Texas is going to have to play better than they did the other night against Purdue, though. I know one thing that hurt both teams early on was how tight they were calling the game. Neither team could get into any kind of flow because every other second there was a whistle. I agree with the refs keeping the game under control, but there comes a point when you just have to let them play. OK, that's my hoops talk for the day.
Jecrites - Just a quick thought on your kids and their rooms. First off, girl, you are preaching to the choir. We all know how it is with kids and their rooms. One thing we did have to resort to with my oldest when he was younger was a clean up list. He has ADD and the doctor finally told us that this was a major problem for him. For us, it was just always a day long fight getting him to clean his room. The doctor had us make a list, very detailed, of things he had to do to "clean his room". We would only give him a part of the list at a time and when he finished that part, we would give him the next item. Being able to "check off the list" as he completed part of it, gave him a sense of accomplishment and it wasn't as overwhelming to him. After a while, we gave him the whole list all at once and then he got where he didn't need the list. It's funny, that now at 17, when we tell him to "clean his room", he still does it in pretty much the same order. This might or might not work for your kiddos, but it never hurts to try. Good luck!!!
Trish

Quickie Check In
Well, we were out in the brush for about 4 hours. The "guide" we had was real funny. He was talking to a bunch of kindergarteners like he would talk to high school kids and then he wondered why they weren't really listening up. All they wanted was their taste of maple syrup.
I've got a bit of sunburn on my face! Who'd have thought!
I only had one of my turkey roll ups. DS was still hungry (they only got 2 pancakes) so he got my second one. I also had some cream cheese and triscuits and some apple slices. Didn't drink too much water cause they only had outhouses there.
MONET--Glad you're feeling better. I bet your roses will be spectacular with all the hard work you put into them. Just take it easy next time so you don't hurt yourself.
MRSTURK & CHACHA---Welcome to you both!
LINWORTH--"Loblaws" is our big chain grocery store. The one that ROSALIE and I are talking about you could live in! They sell everything, have a fitness club, cooking school, take out food, photo studio etc. I'm not sure what it would compare to in the States.
Ok, gotta go get dinner and change out of my workout clothes. I've been working out while hubby is not home. I want to see if he notices anything!

Trish, Thank you so much for the advice on my kids cleaning their rooms. I started today by telling them that if they would just pick up their clothes and get them out of the floor then they could go outside. They did that, now tomorrow we tackle the toys!!!! I sure hope it works better this way.

Hey All
Had a nice day out with the COFFEE MAN today. We really didn't do a heck of a lot, lunch at OLE OLE, a few stores, but we did manage to get in a movie today, saw FRIDA, wasn't bad, good if you like biographies.
Thanks to those of you who joined me in the chat room last night, always a pleasure to "talk" to you in real time
Didn't get in my walk today. Unlike other days, the warm body that was still in the bed, well, I decided to cuddle up with it this time
Wanted to get in a few replies before MICHAEL wakes up from a nap and tells me he's in need of the computer...
JACKK, didn't weigh at all, not going to til I "FEEL" slimmer. I do think I'm on the other spectrum of where I was with the scale for so many years, and you know what, it feels great. BUT, feeling fatter sure as heck doesn't feel so great! Boy, that must be a crappy picture...ELI handsome to someone other than myself??? Actually, BOB thinks he looks like Sasquach and I think like he looks like a cross between Homer Simpson and one of those Weeble Wobbles but they don't fall down toys of the past But alas, I love the old coot!
AGAPE, what exciting news to read! I'm so happy for you and a big CONGRATS is being yelled your way! That's so awesome! What did the Dr. say when he/she saw that? Sorry, I don't know anything about breathing, other than if you aren't doing it, your in big trouble! LOL!! Keep up the great work!!!!
ROSE, sounds like things are moving right along for you with your arm which is really good to hear. I'm sure you'll improve on a daily basis as long as you don't overdue it. Sounds like RAY just spoils you rotten, even when it's not your bday, and which I can totally understand him doing so, you're an awesome person!!!!
GRIN, I'm so glad you are feeling right at home, which you should. The gals on the board are such good people. I hope one day you'll have an opportunity to meet one or more of the gals. After having met 23 past and present members I can tell you it's quite a wonderful experience. Many who I haven't met I've gotten to know via the telephone and/or e-mails as well. I hope to one day chat with everyone!!!!
SEF, I think I'll pass on the sulphur, ELI'S bad gas would probably work just as well As for the molasses, a good sub would be agave, I suspect.
TEENSY, how'd did things go today for DH?
ZANNE, which I could go on a field trip like that-I love interesting things like that and really like when I see how things are made. I always wished someone would produce a show like that for TV. Hope you had a good time!
QUILTER, I couldn't be more proud of you! You're doing great and I know you are on cloud 9 What's ALTRUSA?
TRANQUIL, WOO HOO! Girlfriend, that's awesome news. I may not recognize you when you come down here in May!!!! Hope you are having a good time with DM & DF-call me when you get a chance. What's the other name of the book you got?
CHACHA Glad you've decided to join us and I know I can speak for the entire board when I say GOOD LUCK! We all know that this WOE is wonderful and are always happy to see another person embrace this wonderful WOE along with us. Don't be afraid to ask questions no matter how stupid they may even seem. Think of this as a learning experience. If MEL gets her butt on the board, she too is from PA, I think WEST CHESTER, if I'm correct. Again, WELCOME!
BOB, waiting for more details of your dinner wit FILLISE!!!!!!!!!!!! Needless to say, I'm so jealous I couldn't come and be there too!!!
JEC, glad to hear you stayed the same and didn't see a gain. I'm sure you'll see a loss on the scales soon though, TOM always has me up, as well as mid-cycle. So happy to hear you found it on half.com - I saw it when I sent you the coupon and the price wasn't that bad. Someone must of just posted it on there because it wasn't on a few days ago. Let me know what you think of it after you read it!
LDBLOND, hope you feel better!
LIN, e-mail me the pic. I took the block off your domain for your e-mail. Just make sure to put SB in the subject area.
COUNTRY, CONGRATS for your loss this week!!!
MRSTURK, to you as well! Glad to have a mother and daughter duo on the board. I'm sure you are as proud of your DM as she is of you. You are both doing awesome. I can see a mother/daughter shopping trip in your future. Tell DM to lend you her book when she's done with it, but do make sure you return it to her Oh, and CONGRATS as well to the newest member of the family!!!! Glad to have you a board!!!
ELI is calling me to the dinner table. Will have to p/u from where I left off tomorrow morning if I'm unable to get on later.

Wednesday Night
Hello! Happy Wednesday Night!!! This is going to be quick. I had a meeting after work and just got home a little bit ago. I can't stand skimming and writing "quickies" but I guess that's what I'm forced to tonight. Paul just made some popcorn, but he let it burn, so it's no temptation to me now. I guess I should be grateful that he overcooked it. LOL
Just a few greetings:
DEB---Thanks for the praise. You are so kind and supportive. Altrusa is a women's service club that I joined a few months ago. I met them when they helped us at one of our fundraisers. They seemed like a fun group. A wide age range of active people in this small group. I really like them and wanted to be a part of them. We meet once a month for a regular meeting. And then we do extra things like helping out non-profits with service of money. Next month we are helping out one of the local PBS stations do their Action Auction fundraiser. I'm excited to be a part of that.
EARLY---Welcome back! Hey congrats on the new pants. How much fun is that! How hard is the abs tape? Are you still walking in it or is it floor work?
ZANNE---You are doing so great. I really loved reading your post this morning that was so upbeat. You were not "all centered" on the scale and you really made me remember to measure my success on other things beside that number. Thanks, friend! Good luck on the knitting. Not only will you get skinny, but you will also end up with some great stuff! What a great idea!
JACKK---You are so right. Those two pesky pounds will vanish in a day or two. Just spend a couple of quality minutes in the bathroom and you'lll be down soon enough. I hate that "too full" feeling. It's misery.
TRANQ---CONGRATS ON THE NEW LOW!!! That's great! It's so better to see it come off slowly and steadily. Keep up the great work. You are doing so well. Enjoy your visit, but remember to check in with us.
BOB---So glad to hear that you and FILLISE had a good visit. I was sure jealous, because that sounded like one FUN dinner. Thanks for reporting. Did you take a picture to post???
LIN---You are doing really well. Staying the same from one week to the next just is an assurance that the pounds lost earlier are really really gone. Keep up the good work. Yes, I saw that you reported that you were in town. At first, I was so disappointed that we couldn't meet up, but I totally understand. 24 hours is not much. I'm glad you had fun with your friends. Where did you eat in Hyde Park? Did you shop at Rookwood Pavillion? There are some great stores there. The pigs were a big hit a few years ago during the summer. You should have seen all of the ones downtown! They were hilarious and beautiful. It was great for the city. I wish they could come up with another good gimick. Last year they tried to do flower pots, but it just didn't work like the pigs. I'm so glad there are still some around. Did you see the one that Joseph Beth Booksellers? That pig was called Ernest HAMmingway and my office got the proceeds from the sale of that pig. The four pigs called Swine Lake were my favorite because they looked so lovely in their tutus and toe shoes!
COUNTRY---WTG on the loss. Keep it up, girlfriend! Are you walking in the morning? I've got a free phone time from 6 a.m. to 6:40. Wish we could gab and tread at the same time!
Okay, guys, it's past my bedtime and I'd really like to get up in the morning and walk. I know FILLISE is probably not on because she's out of town, but I wanted to report that I recorded over 12,000 steps today. That counts the 5,000 on the treadmill this morning. Do you all think this is a good number of steps? I started parking my car way out in the parking garage just to get in a few extra chances to walk.
Good night! Catch you later!
Kim

Hi again ladies. Good to hear how great things are going for most of us!
Agape3737, super-big congratulations on such a weight loss!
My nerves are going nutty today. Yesterday's e-mail from hubby said he wouldn't be home any time soon. Today's e-mail said he hopes to call me soon before they head home. But there's a mail drop planned for this Friday, and I can't think that they would be sending people to the boat if they were on their way home. So I'm bouncing off the walls 'til I find out something for sure.
Had comfort food for dinner tonight, which involved potatoes. I win some, I lose some, it seems. I'm trying to do a no-sugar, no-flour variant for a week or two to see if I can break 190, I think that'll help me get my motivation back. Oh, I wanted the toast that came with my dinner, but I fed it to the baby instead! (It's WW.)
Excercise is still good at least. Got in 2.5 miles yesterday and another two today. I'm loving this warm weather and the guys without their shirts. Sadly, it's supposed to be only 58 tomorrow. Might rain too, but I'm hoping not. It was raining when I came home from getting dinner out, so perhaps that will take care of it.

Good night to all-- it's late here, so I am sure most of you are sleeping. Spent most of the day in town. Pre-registaring dh for his surgery next Wednesday. It took longer than we thought, but now it is done.
WIW today, and I was still the same this morning. Didn't do too good on food today. Only had time for an orange for breakfast, then we went to Golden Corral for lunch. All was okay until I got what was supposed to be a no sugar added jello cake. I know that it was too sweet to be sugar free. I was steaming mad!! So I skipped my SF jello tonight. Seems like something gets me coming and going. Oh well, time to move on. We are planning a little trip tomorrow up to the Indian Casino for their Prime Rib and King Crab Legs Buffet. We have some coupons that are only good until the end of March. Last time we went dh got lucky and one 240.00. Well anyway, he wants to get out once before he has to be cooped up for awhile. Should be fun, and the food is wonderful.
Sorry I am not taking the time to answer to all, but will catch up tomorrow sometime. I am tired, and am going to bed. Sweet dreams my dear friends.

Thursday
I just got in from an hour run. I don't mean to brag, but I am so glad I found I can run that long. I am signed up for a 10K a week from Saturday and I was really worried about being able to participate. I do so much better running in the morning than in the evening. Good thing the race is early. I took my 2 sons out to dinner last night (dh is in New Orleans for a meeting). I had a grilled chicken greek salad and it had a ton of chicken on it. Of course I ate all of the chicken, plus a little hummus on pita. I was very full. Are we doing the scale challenge again? I hope so, because I don't want to weigh anytime soon. Speaking of challenges, I am having a hard time with the vegetable challenge. Is it veggies and fruits? For some reason this week I am eating very little v/f, and I usually load up on them. Also, I don't think I've seen any other posts with people's totals. Is there another thread started for this Deb?
Jackie-I just checked my old Weight Watchers book. I reached my goal of 160 on March 17, 2000. So I have not weighed any less than that for 3 years. In those 3 years, I have added strength training, walked, ran, started Sugarbusters, moved to South Carolina, etc. So I feel like I have changed things around. When I read the post from Deb yesterday about maintaining, I noticed that the writer worked sooo hard to lose the last few pounds and to say at her goal weight. Did you read that one? I sort of found it to be discouraging. Sometimes I think I just do not work hard enough to lose, so then I get down on myself. Other times I blame my metabolism or my big bones. Anyway, I feel good with this WOE and I am going to continue eating the SB way. On to more important topics--what color are your nails? And how is dd doing with her weight loss?
Crystle-Wow 82 pounds gone. That is fantastic. Was it all with Sugarbusters?
Nicole-Welcome! Enjoy that baby -- I bet s/he has grown so much already. Great weight loss-have you lost 30 or 45? Either way, you are rockin and rollin
Monet-Don't you just hate the scales!! I wanted to throw mine away yesterday. I could just picture all the lights, etc. coming on when the power came back. I bet you jumped to the ceiling. Glad your back is better.
Earlybird-Your son had good intentions, but did he have to buy something that hard to resist? Have fun in the yard.
Jecrites-I agree that the 2 older kids could do a little to clean up their rooms. It sounds like you came to a reasonable compromise with them. At least they weren't inside all day. I was never too good about enforcing cleanup and 2 of my3 kids are so messy. So I admire you for starting early.
Heartmom-What are king size M&Ms? Whatever, I hope they are gone. You're right-today is a brand new day!
Sheanne-That is great that you are losing--the small losses will add up. Guzzle, guzzle... Get that foot looked at. It sounds so painful. Let us know what the dr. about the bloodwork, too.
Trish-I loved your story about your son and cleaning his room. That's great that he will even clean it at 17!
Zanne-A fitness center in a grocery store-that's a new one on me. You are funny to be hiding your workouts from dh. Let us know when he notices.
Deb-Good for you for taking a day off from walking. We need to be flexible, right? I liked Frida--funny how she and her dh's mistress cooked for him. They really fattened him up, huh? Thanks for the help with my picture. Like I said, I am usually in denim and t shirts, not so dressed up as in that picture.
Quilter-WTG on resisting the burned popcorn We ate at Tellers in Hyde Park. Everystore we went in had HIGH prices. We did not see rookwood pavillion. We walked in Newport on the River and walked right out. It was too corporate and is identical to a shopping center in Columbus. Hyde Park was fun, but didn't buy anything. I did see some beautiful pots. My friend bought my plane ticket, so I didn't feel right leaving her to look you up. We will get together someday!!!
GBMM-where is dh? Maybe the exercise will help calm your nerves.
Teensy--Sounds like you did good at Golden Corral. That Indian casino dinner sounds to die for. Let us know how much you win.
I think I am almost caught up. Hello to everyone I missed and have a great Thursday.
