Good evening all!

Kristin, that chocolate game was cute! And it was right on with my number of times I would like to have chocolate (9 times!) and my age, 24. Thanks for sharing it. And congrats on joining ww online!! And here is a great site to get restaurant info... http://www.dottisweightlosszone.com/restaurants.html they have just about every restaurant out there with points for all their dishes. I printed most of them off and keep them in my van. Very handy to have.

Leigh, that funny about your extra piece of bread, I made that chicken broccoli soup tonight with some rolls and had to have an extra roll also. It was just so good.

Michelle, have you switched over to ww completely or are you still doing SB too? And that is so funny about "the nookie" I was laughing so hard when I read that. Just don't take a cookie and put it up the ------ LOL... I didn't know people actually called it "nookie" lol... bumping uglies maybe, LOL (JK!) ok, I need to go wash my potty mouth out, lol.

Ok, my evening is going fine. Dinner was actually good. I don't like many soups from that saving dinner book but this one was really cheesy and creamy.
I did fold most of my laundry and put it away, all I have left is 1 load of towels to fold and I'll probably do that in the morning along with picking up my room some. I'm getting antsy about tomorrow. I can't wait to go. But i can't seem to get a hold of my SIL, I hope nothing has come up, I would be so dissapointed.
Well, gonna get off here. TTYL!

Gee, it looks as though the only way I will be able to stay up with this thread is if I am the first on in the morning!!!! Good to see it so busy..........
Hope everyone is ok. See ya tomorrow.
Ginny

Good evening everyone :) I was thinking hard about my recent lack of motivation for exercise, which seems to have slowed my weight loss a bit. I decided to reward myself with a little spa treatment - pedicure, hair, waxing, etc. when I reach a 20 lb loss - I'm only 5lbs away right now, but it seems so far :lol:

Angel - I think Kristin and Spryng gave you some good info about the points. After a week or two of looking things up, it becomes a lot easier. You begin to get a feel for the number of points something will be. OP means "on plan."

Hi, Kristin! Hi, Ginny!

Spryng - I'm glad the soup was good. I'm very picky about soup and there are only specific kinds I like. Are you that way too?

TTYL

good evening ladies!
Just got back from work :)

Spryng - you are too funny "bumping uglies" LOL! I was laughing so hard, my DD looked at me funny! I hear ya about soup, I can't have very much soup, I get sick of it, and there are only a few kinds I like, usually the fattening kind! (i.e. - broccoli cheese w/ bacon, wisconsin cheese) :eek:

Ginny - I know what ya mean about keeping up, I sometimes finish reading all of them and have no time for a post! :)

Leigh - I think your incentive idea is a great one, my DH gave me one of shopping for new clothes,which I would love, so it makes me more anxious too!

Everyone else, hope you have a wonderful evening! :) :)

Hello all,

Michelle...hmmmm...I usually just fall asleep after :lol: or turn the tv back on to watch the news... :rofl: Hey, and if you did it right...you earned some activity points that may have made up for the m&m's AND popcorn :lol3: :tread:

Kristin...you sound so positive and energized! Send some of that my way (TOM showed up today :mad: )

Jaymi...sometimes it's just impossible to keep up.
Ginny :wave:

Leigh..I love your reward. I should think of something like that to get me moving again...I was doing great...like I said...TOM's here :o .

Spryng..don't know how you get all that work done while the kids are up! I'm jealous!! I guess I do get my workouts in and I'm thankful for that. I could be cleaning for that hour every morning...nah :lol: So, Dh went shopping hey? Nothing mine has ever bought me has been comfortable (if you know what I mean)...nice try, but I do better myself :D ;) Have fun :o :love: Hope you get ahold of sil soon!

Welcome Angel and Heather... good luck trying to keep up ;) I have 2 boys aged 3 and 1.

Penny, you busy, busy girl! Have a good week!

Michelle...they boys have been good for the most part :smug: ;) How are the girls?? BTW, I still want a margarita!

Di...hi girlie! So glad you're still here. Enjoy your family visit. Good luck with the food!!

Still trying the potty training thing. Still hasn't gone in the potty. We'll try again tomorrow morning and if nothing then I'll stop for a week and try again. At least he's not saying no, he just goes in the pullup and not on the potty. He'll even say "we'll try again later". He may just not be quite ready yet. Oh well.

Went to the zoo tonight. It was a bit chilly but it was nice because there was hardly anyone there. They're open the next 5 Wednesday nights for zoo society members only so we'll probably go again this month. Will loves to ride the train and look at the animals. Also got a 3 mile walk in this morning so I'm still up on the exersize challenge.

Hey Melinda...you still out there??

Cindi, Mel, Crystal, everyone else I missed! Have a great night. Probably wont post til later tomorrow.

Hello again!

My Dh is running behind on his load tonight. He is in a fit. He was suppose to be loaded at 4 pm today and just now got loaded... so now he has to drive 15 hours solid. He is going to be sooo tired tomorrow! I guess I will drive up and watch a movie and such by myself so he can nap. I still want to go though. I'll hit the library before I leave town for a good novel to read in case I stay in the truck while he sleeps. Who knows, maybe I'll nap too! lol. I just want to be near him. Crazy huh?

Geri, you cracked me up, "if you did it right" ?? Is there a wrong way to "do" it? LOL.

Kristin, how was work tonight and how was your day over all?

Jaymi, so glad you could stop in! Are you starting to feel a bit better?

Leigh, I am kinda picky on soups. I know those veggie ones are good for us, the broth based ones but I like clam chowder or broccoli and cheese (which the one I had tonight was a lighter version of that with the added chicken in it so that's why I liked it.) But actually, I don't really eat much soup or stews. I rather have something on a plate, lol. And I think setting up little rewards for yourself is a great incentive to keep you going. I know one lady on the ww site used to get herself gift cards at her favorite store and save them... so every 5-10 lb loss she would get herself the gift card and then once she hit goal she went on a shopping spree and had like 500 bucks to spend. I thought that was neat.

Ginny, so glad to see you! How was your WI and meeting on tuesday??

Well, I guess I should get in bed. Even though I don't want to. I'm a little wired tonight. My WI is tomorrow also so I'm looking forward to that too. Ok, gonna either go to bed or surf the net for a while longer. TTYL!

Lmao!!!!! You guys all crack me up!!!! WWWooooHOoooooo so if I do it right all the time does that mean I can have popcorn and m&ms everyday? lol jk!! Ohhhh Hoooneeeeyyyy, I need to earn some activity poinntttss!!! lol poor guy would be tired all the time if that were the case lol

Spryng girl you have a great time with hubby!!! I can't wait to hear how your weekend goes :) Bumpin uglies lmao girl you are a riot!!!

Penny you out there girl?

Geri don't feel bad cuz taylor isn't potty trained yet either ughhh she just isn't ready, she has gone on the potty a few times and has even told me that she has to go but when we get panties on her I take her to the bathroom every 15 minutes and it never fails that she'll pee all over herself right after she gets off the toilet!! I'm not pushing her though because then it will take even longer to train her :) Hang in there girl ...I'm sending you a margarita!! ;)

Leigh I think your reward sounds wonderful!!! I am behind in exercise this month ughhh I need to catch up!!!

Spryng no I haven't switched but I would like to incorporate both the sbd and ww I may have better results that way. I would love to go to meetings but it is so expensive, I don't know if I can justify 40 bucks a month to hubby just to go to meetings and weigh in. I'm debating it though so still up in the air. Perhaps I'll just order materials off ebay and do it that way.

Well I better get to sleep I'll TTYL!!
Michelle

okay one last time, and then I have to get to bed! haha!

Geri - I am sending some "positive vibes" to ya right now! TOM sucks, I know, mine is just about over I hope, its been a little out of whack lately, too much going on this last couple months, I get too stressed and my body is like "what the F$c* are you doing lady???" and then it starts whenever it wants! lol ! I feel ya girl, on the potty training thing, DD sydney will be 3 in september and she is my only child and I can't get her to go for the life of me. She is just like, "no, I don't want to"..ugh.....something new that I was told about today (and a tip for any other potty trainers out there :) ) is to put panties on UNDER the pull-up, and then when she/he pees its uncomfortable, and all you have is a little more laundry and not a mess to clean up. I think we might try that next week, I can stand a few more pairs of underwear in the wash, but I hate cleaning up the floor or couch after one of her "I want just panties" episodes! lol! Might work, give it a try!

Spryng -you are definately not crazy to want to be near the DH, I feel that way too all the time! :love: its a sign that you stil like each other a little! :) Thanks for asking about my day, it was good over all, I was OP which I was proud of this being my first day and all on WW. Work (cleaning) was good, I didn't use any elevators and got lots of squats in, filling toilet paper, emptying trash. Not the most glamorous job, but hey the money I make is ALL MINE ;) and it is nice to get out of the house for a little unorthodox exercise! haha! Sorry DH's day was off, my DH used to deliver bread and he had random hours like that too, I know how ya feel! Hope you get some good cuddle time in tomorrow! Got back from the boat today, and got the blinds up and the laminate floor laid this weekend, and some odd jobs too, glad that most of that crap is out of the way. I also got the whole upstairs cleaned, toys put away, beds made, dusted, vacuumed...the works! Now I have about 5 loads of laundry to tackle tomorrow :( I hate laundry the most) !

Well, you all got me laughing so hard, now I'm not tired...

Michelle - my god, you are too funny, popcorn and m&m's are worth it all though! :lol: Since you are having trouble w/ Taylor potty training you might be one to benefit from that tip I gave above, never know. Kids are all so different! :) KNow how you felt about the $$ thing and WW, thats why the online thing was so appealing! Its at a pretty good rate right now! they have a deal for a 3 moth thing, that was saving about $15 I think!

well ladies I think that I should turn in for the night!

Hey Ladies,

I have been running like crazy :crazy: today. I bought a whole bunch of totes of all sizes and I am organizing the house starting today. I am almost finished hunter & nicholas's room and I am taking a break for a sec.

I hope everyone had a great day..... sounds like it!

I will check back in tomorrow

BTW,
Michelle,

The nookie ;) should have burned some calories so it might have canceled out the snacks...... LOL

Depends on how much effort you put into it :lol:

Gonna Start A New Thread!

Stay At Home Moms #211

See ya there!

can't sleep so I thought i'd check in
 

Jaymi,What part of SC do you live in?I live here also.In between Spartanburg and Greenville.Just wondering, I thought it was kind of neat to have someone from the same state on here.

Leigh,Thanks for explaining how the point system works.I just don't feel like thats for me though.I'm very unorganized and inconsistant with things like that.But you keep up the good work sounds like it works well for you and the some of the other girls.

Well my supper went well but I did'nt do to good after that.I've already had a bowl of cereal and gramcrackers with a cup of coffee since supper.Well it is 12:30am here.So it has been awhile since supper.I need to learn to sleep.But my Bo works till 2am and I like to try and stay up to fix him something hot for supper sometimes, so he does'nt have to heat up supper all the time.He's really good to me and I like to think he feels the same.

I guess i'm going to get off here and sweep and mop my kitchen,take a bath and fix my bo something for supper before he gets home.Hope everyone has a good day tomorrow and God bless. :coffee: :yawn: :angel:

Hi my name is Jill and I am the proud mommy of a 10-month old baby girl, Bayley. Since I have had her I have been having a hard time getting rid of the baby weight. In the past I have been successful at losing weight but I am finding it harder to control my cravings. For example I am eating a brownie while I am writing this :lol: Anyway I found this site and thought it might be helpful to have a support group to help me out. I'm not real sure how to work all this posting and graphic stuff so bear with me till I figure it out. My goal in the next year is to be a size 8 and to lose about 15-20 pounds. Currently I am 5'4", 157. Any helpful hints would be great. I haven't read all your posts but sure I will get through them all in the next few days. I look forward to talking with you all. Have a great day!

Jill
