I'm glad to have our thread back up and running. I look forward to coming here and letting off all the steam of the day. Although there wasn't much steam today. I really did a whole lot of nothing and dh did the cleaning so other than laundry (if I could have put it off I would have too) I really didn't leave the house...unless taking out the trash counts

As for the party I did have a plan. I went out for a burger the night before and really didn't think I would be in the mood for them when i got there. If I would have ate before I left like you said I would had stayed away from the burgers all together. I just got up to late to grab a bite to eat first. The food wasn't anything to hard to stay away from if I would have ate.....chips, and suger cookies I can have any day. However this next party I'm a little more worried about because it's a drinking party. I hardly ever drink and depending on how long it is and whats there will depend on what i drink. I think my plan is to be good during the week and eat light during the day before the party (this one doesn't start until 5-6pm) and try to have fun.

I know what you mean by balance...... this time of year is sooo hard. I've only went out twice since starting back on plan. I shouldn't say OUT i should say take out. My biggest fear is the sweets...thats when I will feel like I'm depriving myself when I will have limits on the goodies. Will have to cross that path when I get to it. So far I haven't let much junk into the house

That kit is a good deal for people who want all that stuff. I don't care for the WW mag either. I bought it before and didn't find it to be worth the read. I think you can find better WW info online for free then out of that magazine.

Ouch! On the fiber chewable. Maybe you should try a different kind. Maybe the power that you can mix with food

I didn't know you had her email....thats cool then she will know whats going on . Hopefully she will join us. I wonder how she is doing this time of year?

Your right A...We can do this.....We will meet our goals in 2008 for sure. By the time we make it passed the holidays ...Jan will be a piece of cake...Wait I don't think that is the correct thing to say when we are trying to lose weight Maybe I should say This will be a piece of fruit
WATCH OUT 2008 here we come thinner and healthier

hi l!

thanks for the chuckle---it came at just the right time, im not feeling well at all today& thats on top of all i stress. to be honest i think all the stress is why im sick. they say that chronic stress weakens the immune system resulting in illness.ive a cold& ive felt feverish all day. i def dont feel right-i hardly ate anything. i ate breakfast and dinner but i kinda had to make myself eat breakfast. thats usually the first signal im not right.

i didnt leave the house either i just layed around(after i slept in)

youre doin awesome!! better than me actually. i eat pizza every weekend&its a struggle just to stop@3 so far thank god for carb pills. some say they dont work but i think they help. its so hard this time of year&tyheres always junk in this house but ive been doin good cept for my sat. night choc. cake that i got addicted to when i started binging. its outrageous but now i only order 1 sl so when its gone its gone. i do love my sweets.

im glad that your back bc bf i know it im gonna be grabbing onto whatever sense of normalcy i have left&am gonna need it to get me through the **** im about to go through.

hate to sound like a buz kill here, but you might wanna reconsider letting loose on alcohol bc itll only lead to eating on top of that. why not budget 1-2 drinks and then drink diet soda?

i dunno how t is-i hope shes ok too

[Losing4another]

This is the time of year to be sick all the time with stress or no stress. Maybe you could try extra C . I usually do that when my DH or Dd has a cold then I never get it. I hope you feel better soon

I got some long time needed shopping done today. I have some healthy snacks back in the house. Tomorrow is my meeting. I'm looking forward to it yet not looking forward to it at the same time....if that makes sense at all. The week of Christmas I have to find a meeting at a different time...Well and the week after that because Christmas and New years falls on a tuesday. That kinda sucks cause I got to figure out what to do with DD.

When I'm craving pizza I buy the healthy choice pizza with everything on it. I haven't been in the pizza mood though. Thankfully I haven't had junk in the house yet......not sure what will happen when the junk starts coming in

I may reconsider the whole party actually. I'm starting to rethink it. I do not know half the people there ...well most of the people there. It's a freind of a friend kind of a thing. Plus most of the people going are football fans and I'm so not a football fan. If we have to watch a game on TV and drink alcohol I will be sleeping on the couch in no time at all

I've never heard of carb pills. What are they supposed to do? Help your body rid itself of sugar/carbs?

That sucks A ...Can i ask you why you are moving if you don't want to? You don't have to answer if you do not want to. Or do you want to and just stressed over the move. Moving is very stressful

[andreaphilip3]

((((((lorra)))))) youre very sweet ty! and no i dont mind its bc ive no choice my parents are goin n im just gettin dragged

gl; findin another meeting and gl @ wi! i havent w myself since sat i really just dont wanna even know esp w no exercise. i already take extra c i finally took an advil to bring down the geverishness hopin to feel better tom. tom. is my klunch date.

i think if you truly wanna go to the party then go just do what i said alot yourself 2 drinks and then do diet soda or water but if you dont wanna then dont force it.

im glad you went shopping that always helps. diet pizza just aint the same. i will eventually be able to stop at 2 but its gonna take time. phaseolamin marketed as phase 2 is a kidney bean extract that absorbs carbs bvefore theyre digested. i only take them when i eat white carbs which is mostly only when i eat pizza or a white bun or something.

[Losing4another]

How are you feeling today A? Hopefully your feeling better and can get some pool time in. I got myself up and went for a walk this morning. Almost an hour long. I didn't track distance but I know it was more than a mile.

What in TN that your parents want to move there? I have some friends there and they like it. Not sure why but they do. Come spring we may be moving to Indiana. Dh has a buddy up there that may need help with his business. At first I was thinking it would be nice to make the move but now I kinda want to stay here. We will see no need to worry right now.

I agree diet pizza isn't the same but it does hit the spot when you need to stay low cal yet still have the junk food craving.

Well I jumped on the scale this morning and it hasn't moved.....Saturday morning I was down to 245 then the next morning I was back up to 246....Now I'm stuck there and have done everything right. I guess cause I lost so much last week my body says nah I think I will stay here for now.

I really do not want to go to the party anymore. Last week it did seem like a good idea but this week I've had more time to think about it. I haven't decided to totally say no yet but it's heading that way. There are some other issues I'm worried about too that have nothing to do with what the food and drinks will be. Like the girl I'm going with wants my daughter to hang out with her daughter while we are there and her husband is going to be there with them. My daughter doesn't really get along with her daughter and I hardly know her husband. Her house is only down the road from mine though so DD could always walk home ....just to many things are telling me I shouldn't go.


Okay I have to get in the shower so I can head out to my meeting. Hope you day goes better today.

[Losing4another]

Back from the meeting ...No loss but I don't feel bad .....there was only one person in my meeting that lost only a pound. Only me and another lady that didn't gain and everyone else gained. I want to share some kinda funny... We have this one lady that comes in and shes always b*tchin bout something Last week it was because she didn't like the way they cashed her check this week she said the scale was broken because she gained 2 pounds and did everything right. The leader said next week track everything and bring it in to me ...she says I can't cause I can only eat 3 fruits and veggies and day more than that and I'm dead....shes out there...Funny to see what she comes up with each week to yell about.

[andreaphilip3]

hi l!

good for you for not lettin that nasty scale get ya down! our bodires are funny-they dont let go til they are ready to no matter what we want! lol.

lmao about that woman..tell me what she b's about next week she sounds like shes always good for a laugh. dont she know if shehates it that much she could do it from home? geez!

as for that party, i hate to say it, but something seems creepy about that woman and her dh---maybe she shouldnt stay there... might be just me, i get suspicious easily.

you know what? im scared my thyro went over the edge and thats why im sickbc i had this happen once bf and i felt tyhe same way i just dont feel right and im always hot. i ralked the dr into letting me go to the lab but i have to wait til just bf xmas bnow bc mom is gone now.

i dont even know if i should still be on my meds.

did you get your new book? it must seem funny to you to get a new book so soon bc you just joined and now they revised. im a lil po bc from what i hear, core wise, all they did was take away the snack rule which results in the way core was year bf last. im surproised cuz personally i could stand a few changes. dunno what they did to flex.

my sis is in the same town we will be in n its much cheaper. ny has gotten way out of hand.

[Losing4another]

Nothing has really changed for flex. The leader tried to explain like there was something new but either I didn't get it or really nothing has changed...They gave me a new week one book cause they said it changed but it's the same one I got the first week. Yea I was just thinking about that when leaving the meeting today about the books. They should have told me but I guess it doesn't matter cause I really only use the dining out book. There is a new cook book that i want to buy but I will wait until after Xmas ....I've already spent to much on shopping and I'm not even half way done. LOL at that woman....yeah she never stays for the meeting she just weighs in. It would probably be a funny meeting if she did stay to hear her bwitch about everything the leader says.

I get that hot feeling sometimes too. Just out of the blue I get so hot and everyone else thinks I'm crazy. Is there ever a point when you wouldn't need the meds anymore? You would still need the blood tests though right? I'm waiting until the new year to go to the DR for all that testing. My insurance makes us pay 500 out of packet before the insurance picks up ...I might as well wait until the new year so that I don't have to start over come Jan 1st.

yeah I know what you mean about that feeling. If it doesn't feel right I should listen to it. I do trust the woman I'm going to the party with. We pick up each others kids from school when the other one can't but I don't know anything about her dh. If I was leaving DD with her it would be a different story. Shes like mother hen ...really she is ...my dd is 12 and her DD is almost 11 or 12 anyway she treats them like they are 4 or 5. She worries about everything. I think thats why her DD gets on my DD's nerves cause she kinda acts like shes 4 or 5 sometimes. I better call her and cancel tomorrow instead of waiting last minute.

FL has gotten the same way. Everyone bought houses at high prices and now they are stuck with a house they can no longer afford because of insurance and are to far upside down to sell it.

I'm soooo tired I'm goin to try and go to sleep. I haven't slept good at all the last few days. I got four hours last night. Hopefully tomm I can have a nice peaceful day

[Losing4another]
