HI There
 

Hello,

How is everyone doing? I'm okay.

Friday was CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :devil: I had a breakdown, full of tears, emotions, name-calling, fighting. I crammed an entire pkg of skittles down my mouth and went home and pigged out. Afterwards I felt horrible....so, here it goes:

I will no longer use food to dull my emotions. I will be a big girl (No put intended) and play nice with co-workers.

I will no longer let my job dictate how I feel. It's 8 hours of my day and afterwards, I can leave.


But there is a silver lining. I was actually OP this weekend. For you weight watchers, you know that those flex points are TERRIFIC :) but I can be pretty leniant. This will have to stop. I just found out a relative may be getting married and I'll be damned if I'm going to be fat for that wedding! I may not be skinny, but I'm not going to be this big, either.

As for my challenge, I thought of you all when I ate the skittles.

Also, I went shopping in Atlanta this weekend and bought pants that were a size smaller :D


Let's chat this Wednesday. 9:30 p.m. It's fun watching The Bachelor while we're typing.

Gotta go get ready (I actually bought veggies to pack as a snack for tomorrow. And I'm going to go to the gym tomorrow morning.

LA

hi all--- i would love to be part of the chat session, but don't know how to get in on it--- hope you guys can let me know how to join in. anyway, this weekend i was pretty bad and started to pig out starting saturday night after speaking with my ex. and i got all emotional and blew the rest of the weekend being bad on sweets. its a new day and i've been good so far today and will try to hit the gym later. hope to hear from you guys later ;-)

Hi gang.

Hope you had a decent Monday. Mine was busy. We have a conference on Weds & leave tomorrow afternoon, so I'm trying to get everything done. Now, I still need to pack.

LA, What a great attitude to have. I'm so proud of you! I will try to make it to chat. We are driving back from San Antonio Weds. afternoon sometime, so I don't know when I'll get in. If I make it back in time, I'll be there.

Snowball, Sorry talking to your ex put you into a tailspin. Good for you for rebounding so quickly though! To go to chat, at the top of the forum page there's an index. One says "chat" click on it & it will load. You'll need to enter your username & password for the site & it should take you to the main room. That's where we ususally start out. Sometimes, if it gets too busy, we may move to one of the other rooms. Hope this helps.

I had an okay weekend. Didn't do much at all & ate okay. I've got to get back into the exercising though.

Anyway, have a good rest of the week. I'll check in when I'm not out on the road!

Hi All,

Is everyone okay? I'm getting worried. Someone please check in?

About me so far, I'm doing pretty good. I did water aerobics, and walked 4 miles this week. It was nice. I've eating pretty fair, could be better, but could be worse. I am getting up super early tomorrow so I'll hit the hay.

You guys, check in, this thread looks so lonely, I don't like seeing it go to the second page!!

LA

Hey Gang!

LA, Sorry I didnt' make it to chat. I fell asleep when I got home & didn't wake up until 10:30 my time.

I ran home to see the family this weekend. First time I'd been home in over 2 months. Good to see them & just relax.

Eating & exercise have been so so. At home it was awful because there are so many goodies.

I vow to do better this week!

So how are the rest of you?

Have a peaceful Sunday!

still here
 

hey there! sorry i haven't been on computer in some time. i've been really busy. started second job, working ot at the primary job. etc, etc, etc....

still weighing in the same, i guess that's better than gaining. i'm trying to buckle down this week with no more excuses. i came staight home from work tonite and got some healthy cooking done.

my computer is acting up also. i have someone coming to reconfigure it this saturday hopefully. i thing the roadrunner guy screwed it up. it was a young guy who got about 20 personal calls the whole 20 minutes he was here. it hasn't been the same since.

well, have a good thursday and i'll try to stop back sooner.
kathy

Hey gang!

Hope you had a great week. Mine was really busy with work. Thank goodness for the weekend.

Kathy, Sounds like you are REALLY busy. Good to hear about you maintaining the weight though.

How are the rest of you...and WHERE are the rest of you?

Anyway, I have a relaxed weekend planned. I need to get a hair cut & will probably see a movie or two.

Have a great weekend.

Will check in later.

Yoo Hoo, Where Is Everyone?
 

Hi Girls (and boys)

Well, I must say the board is feeling awfully lonely. Where are you?!?! :^:

Jenjen, I hope you enjoy your weekend. I know what you mean by taking it easy. I was out sick on Thursday (I pulled a hamstring muscle and could barely walk) anywho, I spent most of today (Saturday) in bed.

Jenjen, let me know what movies you see. I'd like to see "Kill Bill" because I want to see violence but that Intolerable Cruelty also looks good, who can refuse George Clooney

When I finally got up, I cleaned the house and did some laundry. Then went to the mall and bought some clothes (JC Penneys has had a sale) and while I was trying on clothes, I stepped on and broke my glasses :devil:

So I had to run get them fixed (which they're wired together and I hope I don't sneeze :lol:

Then I came home and found a stray kitty (anyone one want a
kitty :^:) Fixed a WW approved dinner (which was good) Now I'm going to eat my WW Key Lime pie (let's hope it's good)
So now I'm going to go watch the game and take a bubble bath and go to bed. Yes, I live an exciting life huh Whoppee!!! ;) ;) ;)


Okay, I'll shut up now, just someone please check in so I do'nt worry.

TTFN

LA

hi
 

hey there! i too lead an exciting life. i spent saturday morning working OT for 4 hrs, then went shopping at walmart for something to do. i bought halloween decos, then came home and put them up, then went to bed. today i have to work 2pm till 11pm at my part time job. thank god or i'd be bored to death.

LA-i hope your feeling better

jenjen-hope your relaxing weekend is going well.

i have been following the south beach diet this week within my WW points and it seems to be working well. that is the one everyone at work is following and doing well. i don't want to be left behind of course. :lol: a lot of their dr's recommended it to them. i know i will have a good loss this week.

well, got to get off to work.
have a nice sunday!
kathy

Hey gang. Hope your week is going well. I've had a sore throat for the past few days, but so far have been going to work. The weekend was okay. I am paying for "relaxing" now. A friend may be coming into town this weekend & my apartment is a complete wreck!

I've seen 2 movies. I saw "Waiting for Guffman" which is an old movie- done in 1996 or 1997. I thought it was hilarious. I love Christopher Guest movies though. I went and saw "Happy Hour" last night. Not the best movie I've seen, not the worst either. It's kind of long. It's basically about an alcholic and his relationships with family and friends. It's funny, sad & realistic. Probably not one I'd pay full price for, but not a bad rental or discount movie. It's just sort of slow in places.

LA, I hope you are feeling better. Are we chatting tomorrow? I can't on Thursday because several of us are having a "girls night out".

Kathy, How are you doing with the South Beach Diet & WW. I'd think that would be a good combination.

How are the rest of you? Please come check in!

Have a great rest of the week!

hey there
 

hi jen jen! it sounds like you are somewhat of a movie buff. i am always stuck on TLC on saturdays. i just love that trading places, while you were out and what not to wear...... shows. i think i am addicted to them.

i will know tomorrow how my first week went. i believe it went well. i found all kinds of people on ww websites that are doing the same thing with lots of success. and here i thought i struck upon a new thing. :lol:

have a happy humpday!
kathy

Hey gang! Long time no hear.

Hope everyone is hanging in there. I've been busy. I've had company one weekend & then went to my folks last weekend.

I am about to get busy baking for the Halloweem party at work. I dont' participate, I'm just going to bake lots of stuff for the heck of it.

I've been eating so-so. Not great, but not too bad.

How's everyone else hanging in there????

Take care!

Hi guys! I've been reading your backposts and I'd really like to join this group. I'm 27, never married, with a 10 month old son and two cats. I am currently 238 lbs. and would like to lose at least 113. I'm going to weigh in on Thursdays because I belong to a few other groups and I'm trying to keep them all on the same day. (I need as much support as I can get!)

Jessica

Welcome Jessica! Our thread has been rather slow lately, but glad to have you. How did your weigh in go?

I'm 32, never married, no kids, no pets.

So, is anyone dressing up for Halloween. I am going as a hunter in all camoflauge. I was even going to paint my face, but decided against it.

A friend of mine is supposed to come into town, so I've been busy cleaning.

Hope everyone is doing well. PLEASE check in!

Have a great weekend!

I'm Back
 

Hi Girls....

How are you all? I'm back from vacation, rested and happy (well not happy to be back, but you know what I mean) I see we have a new member Welcome!!!!! Tell us all about yourself.

But first, I'll tell you about me.

They call me LA, I won't divulge my real name, only a couple of people know that. I work in TN and have a fabulous job I love more than life itself :lol: sorry I couldn't type that with a straight face. Anyway, I am 33 (gulp) never married, two cats and that's about it. I have about 75 pounds to lose and I've gained and lost the same pound over 20 times in the past 4 months. I am on WW, even though I can't motivate myself. My social life consists of going out to dinner with friends and watching movies. Jenjen and I chat each week (usually during the Bachelor so I can make fun of the skinny ladies) so please join us.

AS FOR THE REST OF YOU:::: Where the **** are you?!?! I'm getting very sad....don't make me cry :( I want to hear from you. I want to know how things are going. I know it gets tough, and life is overburdened, but that's life. I have a friend going through a really rough time and I was TRYING to cheer her up and said "there's always a solution to any problem" I didn't think much of it when I said that but she said that actually perked her up and made her feel better because it's true. I hope it can motivate some of you to come back to our fold. We do need each other!! It's literally a matter of life and death.

I bought lots of clothes on my vacation, not that I can afford them but I wanted them. I have decided to start making myself look good. The better you look, the more people say "my don't you look nice, the more able you are to say "no thank you" to temptation foods. It's worked pretty good so far (even though I bottomed out last night with ice cream) so let's all try that. Get up extra early and primp, curl and pick out your nicest outfits. Get in there and see what they say. Who knows, we all may be thinner next week.

I'm going to go see Radio tonight, maybe I'll have some more inspirational words tomorrow. I also have a very funny story from water aerobics, but I have a hand cramp. Will tell you tomorrow. It's really funny. Here's a hint: :o
LA


jenjen, I wasn't anything for Halloween, I did wear my little pumpkin vest :D

Hey gang.

LA, WELCOME BACK! :cool: Sounds like you had a great vacation.

I'm staying busy. Work work work. No rest for the weary. UGH! Not a whole lot of excitement though.

I had a friend come into town for part of the weekend. We just hung out, which was cool.

I'm going to the folks this weekend. My sister's birthday is Sunday. I still need to go shopping though!

Hey, LA, are we chatting tomorrow night?

I really don't know much of anything. I lead such a boring life! :(

Hey There Jenjen,

Yes I plan on chatting tomorrow starting at 9:00 est? or 9:30 whenever. Doing pretty good. I've been working out and even though I had a slip up today (chocolate pie :nono: ) Well, I guess I'll talk to you all tomorrow. Hope you all have a good day.

LA

Hello Is Anybody There
 

Hi Guys,

Things are going okay. I've been pretty bad on the eating plan. i am thinking about quitting WW for the year (I need to save money for Christmas) I promise I would pick it up again next year. But right now I'm just throwing my money away and quite frankly, I'm not motivated to do it. I know....I suck :(

How are the rest of you? Where are the rest of you? I am going to try and go to church tomorrow. I think it would be very beneficial. I have a funny story to tell but I can only tell it Wednesday during chat (it's top secret) so show up and hear my amazing story.

I saw Radio. Cried and laughed. Very good. I will probably go see Elf this weekend. Hang in there girls, it's almost Thanksgiving (whopee..a whole day revolving around overeating)

LA

I'm still here - sort of
 

Sorry I haven't posted. Been out of town since early Saturday morning.

I went home. My mom's been sick & my sister actually ended up in the hospital over the weekend. She's home & fine, but made for a stressful weekend. Ah, the joys.

I've eaten horribly and have basically given up until the beginning of the year. Just too much going on through the holidays to try to focus on weight.

Anyway, I don't know much.

I will be in chat tomorrow probably around 8:30 CST.

LA, I can't wait for story time!

Have a great Wednesday!

Hey gang! Where is everyone? It's lonely out here!

Well, I have gotten back on track thank's to LA's butt kickin' in chat last week. I've been eating much better & have been going for walks on my lunch break.

I went and saw Love, Actually. yesterday. I thought it was a really cute film. If you like 4 weddins & funeral, knotting hill, etc. you will enjoy this one. Pretty much a chick flick. The worst part was that there were so many couples in the theater, and there I am by myself. Ah, well.

I have to make a cake for work today & do laundry & go to the store. The joys of single living.

I may splurge a bit tonight & get pizza. The leftovers I can take to work & have with a salad. We'll see. I may just fix a frozen dinner.

Since I started on Thursday, I will post how much I lost this Thursday.

Anyway, I hope y'all are doing well. PLEASE come check in!!!

Have a great week!

Help me jenjen
 

Hi Ladies,

I gave a "get it in gear, and work off your rear" speech and I need one now myself. I ate horribly. Went to NC and just ate and ate. I am so embarrassed!!!!!!!!!!!! :( I have to get it together. Starting RIGHT NOW!!! Not tomorrow, right now.

Jenjen, I am so very proud of you. :D Keep up the good work. I know you'll have lost 2 pounds. I am putting my money on it :)


How are the rest of you? I hope fine. Check in when you get a chance. Well, gonna run and unpack.

LA

Hello everyone. This is really a test cause I can't tell if I am on the right link or the most current one. I read the thing about them losing everything since November, so I can only assume, any posts since them are not on here and this is the most current post. So, if this is the right place and someone else actually reads this and posts as well, I'll write more. At any rate, I used to post with you single girls a looooonnnng time ago, but fell by the wayside. I am single too and always liked this group. I tried some other groups but didn't feel like I "belonged" if you know what I mean.

Well, enough for now...hope I am in the right place!

Debbie
