Hi everyone-
Welcome twentytogo

I count calories, keep a food journal, and exercise.

Hello Everyone.

Well, we didn't get that much snow afterall-- only about 2 inches but it sure came down fast there while we were driving home.

Noelle, Congrats on the 3.8 pounds gone!! That is Wonderful! I weigh tomorrow so I'm hoping to see at least a couple gone.

Hi twentytogo--- I am using slimfast and also counting points. That seems to work for me. And I bought a Gazelle and I really like it. But so far I've only been able to do 15 minutes at a time on it.

I guess now that I'm an inch shorter I really need to get this weight off!
Likenoother-- When I was first married years ago--(1970) we were going to buy this little yellow Triumph Spitfire convertible--- I loved it. But before we finalized the deal I decided that I should really drive it since it was going to be my car. Yeah, you guessed it--- I couldn't reach the pedals!!! Sure was disappointed! Crazy things that we have to go through huh!

Well, Just wanted to pop in for a minute. Hello to everyone else. Will try to get caught up soon.

Congrats on your weight loss!!

I'm just doing it on my own at home. I have a friend sending me her kit from last year. I've read and use tools online (not the ww online site though). I've been able to stay on track so far. Today is the first day of week 3 I weighed in this am and I'm down another lb!

WTG - Lisa! I love seeing everyone on track!

Hi everyone,
It was a rough day at work. I'm soooo glad the weekend is here

AMEN to that! TGIF!

To answer the earlier question, I count calories and exercise (usually walking or jogging and some weights).

Everyone seems way cool here, and I thank everyone for being so welcoming. You probably will not see me on here everyday due to my schedule but I'm looking forward to getting to know you all and ofcourse, getting rid of my 20, once and for all. In the past, I found for me I can only lose weight by exercising. I think all the years of yoyo dieting have really messed up my metobaolism. I gave up fast foods and pop years ago. My biggest downfall, my sweet tooth. I do not buy sweets for around my house, but if they are in front me elsewhere, I binge like crazy. YIKES! I really need to learn self control...

lillisa & Noelle--Congrats on the weight loss. I weigh in tomorrow. I lost 5 last week so I know it will be less this week. I weigh everyday but my official weigh in is tomorrow.

Nicole--I like the thingy under your picture: Choosing 2...

I seriously went grocery shopping this week. I need to get back into the habit of going every week. Matter of fact I probably will go again today. This way I never have an excuse. I always have what I need. Going to the grocery store is just a reminder of how short I am.

Good Morning everyone. Well, today is what I am calling day 1. Back with proper eating, back with a workout. I have to go to the dreaded grocery store. I have never liked grocery shopping. Actually it's not because I feel tempted to buy bad things, its mainly because I am not much a cook, but have to. LOL. I am going to make a list and suck it up.

Hi all,
Tomorrow is when I move my ticker but today I am at 172. So I'm keeping my fingers crossed at I'll still be at 172 tomorrow

teacher1--Congrats on the "unofficial" loss. My scale says I'm down 2 also but my weigh in is tomorrow too.

Hey ladies, congrats on the pounds lost--even on your "unofficial" weigh in day. My WW leader always says the scale is just a tool that tells you what your body is doing at that moment in time. It is not the be all end all. So celebrate the little things.

Shay, you mentioning being reminded how short you are when you go to the grocery store, I had co-worker whose wife was really tiny, probably 4'9"? on a tall day. Anyway, she had her two kids with her while shopping, one son was around 6 (he looked like he was 3) and the other who was 3 but looked like he was 1 just because they were all tiny people. The 3 year old was sitting in the shopping cart and having a tantrum while his mom wheeled the cart around the store with the other son trailing behind. A man stopped her with her screaming child and asked her, "little girl, where is your mommy?" She was so mad and answered him "I am their mom!" and walked off. He didn't believe her because she has a really young sounding voice. He went off and got the security guard to talk to her thinking she was a neglected child in charge of her two little brothers .

Anyway, I'll stop rambling. Have a great weekend all.

Noelle--OMG that is so freaking funny but I know your friend was frustrated! Regarding weight loss, I'm doing measurements too so that will help me see the bigger picture.

Good morning,
I'm soooo happy today. The scale is at 171 down 3 pounds since last Sunday.
