Joy: I am so glad you were able to get back. Give the kids lots of time and they will get through it. It is just tough for the poor things.

I did an hour at the gym this morning and boy can I feel those weight type machines.

I am down to 309! WOOHOOOOOOOOO! Lost 2 lbs so far this week.

I have a WTG: I bought undies today and both panties in a smaller size and a bra in a smaller size! YEAH!

Got go pick up my hubby from work. Later girls!

I am still waiting to hear from Beth and Susan and Pam! I am worried about you three!

Faye :)

Welcome back Joy - so good to hear from you ... glad everything worked out for you and your kids!! :)

FAYE!!! You are only "10" pounds away from TWOTERVILLE !!!!!!!!!
:strong: :angel: :cp: :cb: :dance: :dancer: :flow2:

Did I forget to post my points yestereday? I bet I did. Score me a four! Working on one for today too!

Just got back from a day of clients and errands/shopping. I have to go work on some Ebay stuff, but I'll check back in later!

Lisa: I added you for points up on my last post!

Faye :)

Hi Folks!

Well Weightwatchers is going well - I have stayed on programme for 2 days now, and am under my points allowance. I am currently allowed 28 points, but this will drop to 26 when I lose 3lb - both days I have used about 24 - 25 - it's amazing how quickly they add up!! I am feeling really positive - it takes a bit of effort at the moment to work out what is best to eat for the points, but that is actually what I need - to think about what I am eating rather than shovelling stuff in my mouth without thinking! I can't remember who asked me (sorry!), but I am not on 'flexi points' - the programme is called 'time to eat' - maybe flexi points haven't made it to the UK yet!. Anyway, I am sooooo glad I've joined! I had been struggling for so long, but now I have committed to this I feel really positive and motivated.

JOY - So happy that you are back! We have missed you lots. I'm glad your children are getting their rightful inheritance, and congratulations on your daughters pregnancy - poor thing, her emotions must be all over the place - with both grief, loss and hormones.

Faye - I think I will opt out of the gift card competition - I just think it will be too complicated with me living in the UK. Hope that's not a problem. You are doing so well with the exercise - doing the weights will increase your metabolism, so you will burn calories even faster! You are soooo close to twoterville - that is a great achievement and inspiration to us all ! :tread: :cheer: :tread: :cheer:

I got 4 points yesterday !

Take care

Amanda: It is not a problem at all, I just don't want you to feel bad about not being in the competition. Let's say you are in the challenge, just that you don't want to participate in the gift and that way you can still work hard to win!

OK, here is your faithful leader January 2003 and January 2004. Guess exercise pays off, huh? :lol:

I will talk to everyone in the morning. Jack is itching to get online!

Faye ;)

Hi Ladies,

Gosh Faye the pics are great :D i must say you don't look your weight (if that does'nt sound odd :lol: ) you wear it well as Rod would say ;)

Joy, money is the root of all evil :nono: i don't speak to one of my sisters because greed got the better of her..her loss not mine :lol: i'm glad you got what your children deserved :cp:

I've missed exercising today i'm not feeling well at all :tired: 0pts for me today :( hope i feel better tomorrow so i can get back on track :wave:

FRIDAY: Today is Fabulous Face and Body Friday. Do something to treat them nice today.

LBS DOWN REPORT FOR THIS WEEK:

Me 5 lbs since last Friday

Check in later ladies!

Faye :)

Morning All -

I am down 2.5 pounds from last Friday, or it could be 3.5... for some reason I cannot remember if I weighed in at 221.5 last Friday or 222.5, oh well either way it is good, so there ya go...
3 point day yesterday, no exercise...too cold here ( bad excuse huh? )
I just got to work and it is -3 outside, should make for another lovely evening with my heat running all night, my gas/heat bill has been outrageous as you can imagine....what are ya gonna do though? Gotta have heat...I should just count my blessings that I do have a warm place from the cold...

Amanda - Glad to hear that WW is going well, I really like the program...it teaches you what actual portions are. I usually have about 25-26 pts per day, I find that I can stay in that range pretty easily...good luck

Faye - What a difference, those pics look great ... I agree with Cat90 - I would have never thought that you weigh what you say - of course alot of people dont think that I am over 200 either, it is deceiving sometimes...
great job on the 5 pounds down...you are rolling now....

Have a good day everyone!!

Good morning beautifuls!!!!

IT MOVED IT MOVED IT MOVED.........FINALLY! :dancer: :dancer:

I'm down to 215!! a whopping 3 pound loss for the whole month.......grrr.

I just realized, though, that I'm only 10 pounds away from being half way to my goal of 90 pounds lost!! I never thought I could do this, but I am. I really am.

I got 4 points again yesterday.....double digits in a row for me! 10 days. It's going to be tough to keep that up this weekend though. With traveling so much to get to the tournament and back, we'll probably be eating out. I'm thinking of packing a small cooler with fruit and maybe some black bean burrito wraps. Those suckers are so good, and very low calorie. DH made them for me last week when I was feeling low. I think he said all he did was mash up some black beans with cilantro, garlic, onions and some shredded cheese. THen he smeared the mushy stuff all over a whole wheat tortilla and wrapped em up and baked em. THey were really yummy, but even better the next day when I had to take something to dance class. They travel so well, no drips. And tons of protein.

Anyway, It's so nice to see everyone doing so well. Faye, you're on fire! And Carrie, you gotta catch me now! :lol:

AManda--I'm so glad the WW is working out. It won't be long before you're posting those losses too.

Welcome back Joy! We sure missed you. Be kind to yourself, and TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF! It's the only way you can be sure you'll be there for your babies when they need you.

Everyone else have a fabulous day! I won't be around until Sunday, probably, so have a fabulous weekend too!!

Love to you all!
Julie

Hello all, couldn't sign on yesterday due to connection troubles and time problems. I got 1 pt on Wednesday and 2 points yesterday. Still having trouble journalling, which is no suprise, as I am falling off the organization wagon at school and elsewhere. I didn't have time to catch up on all the posts, that will be later tonight. I am having some trouble keeping the old bloodsugar regulated. Not eating regularly enough during the day at school, going too long between snacks, then getting pannicked and going for the peanut m&ms. An then, not writing things down! Oh boy, I don't know what to eat anymore, I really need a breakfast that sticks to my ribs, smoothies wear off so quick! Anyhoo, had some thinking breakthroughs yesterday, like that I use food to self medicate an attention deficit problem. I am going to see if gum can do the trick for reading, in class etc.

Wish me luck gals, I wish you all the best!

Kim

Hi Lovely jublies!

Carrie, Julie & Faye - WHOO HOO! on your losses!

Cat - Hope you feel better soon.

Carrie - you are spot on with what you said about portion sizes. On the last diet I was on I could eat unlimited rice, pasta and potatoes - I used to pile my plate soooo high!!. Now on weightwatchers, as everything is pointed I had to halve my portion of rice last night. The 'half portion' I had was actually 1 serving according to the packaging - I have been eating 2 peoples portions, which can't be good! :o

I got 3 points yesterday - no exercise.

Have a good Friday everyone!

Love Amanda xxx

Julie - Great job on the weight loss....I am coming for ya girlie!!! :crazy:
ha ha....
