hi
hi singles! i had my first ww weigh in and i'm down 1.5. not a lot but a good start i'm happy with. i've been talking with someone on the exercise board about something on playstation 2 called "dance dance revolution". i've decided that is going to a xmas gift to myself. it is a game that has a pad on the floor with arrows and you try to step(dance) on arrows as they come up on the tv screen. sounds like a fun way to get exercise. and i've read lots of stories about how much weight kids and adults alike are losing doing it.
slimmingsi - sorry about the job. if it wasn't something you were comfortable with then you did the right thing. i will keep my fingers crossed you find something you like.
shelbi - yeah on the 3 lbs gone ever! woohoo!!!! it's funny how a tiny setback can change our whole mindset, but then make us have stronger resolve. it is all mind tricks that we can beat together!!!
sheriva - i have done some shopping. i'm going to try to finish this weekend. i have so many appts next week and then the following week i have to get packed for my trip. let the craziness begin!!! 
have a good friday everyone!!!!
kathy

You didn't know you would be working with the mentally and socially challenged when you interviewed for the job? Or you knew and thought you could handle it but the reality was worse than you thought?

Ah. I never was very good with the Brit sense of humor. See, I thought you really were working with handicapped people.

i'm done, i'm done, i'm done....with xmas shopping that is. i finished it all tonite in one fell swoop. whewwww! now onto the wrapping....
my friend and i took her grandkids (both 3 yrs old) to 2 xmas parties today. i really blew that diet big time. and i did it without a 2nd thought till tonite. now i am mad at myself. i am going to jump back on tomorrow for sure. that will give me 5 good days till weigh-in to hopefully undo any damage.
how is everyone else's weekend going??

Sure has been quiet here this week, hasn't it? Well, 'tis the season. Everyone is no doubt running to and fro trying to get all the "stuff" done. I'm about to leave the house to do some of that "stuff" myself in a few minutes. Hopefully, the LAST of it! I can't wait to have it DONE and get rid of the stress of having it over my head!
Eating- and exercise-wise, doing okay. A week ago today, I hit the highest weight I've been since about June--very depressing. But maybe it was just water weight, because I quickly lost 1 1/2 pounds of it. Now I'm battling to get back down under 150. I've been doing that wonderful up a little, down a little thing for a month or two now and it's really REALLY annoying.

hi
hi singles!! just got back from some last minute shopping things. trying to get organized for my work party friday nite!
sheriva - your up/down thing might be annoying but during these holiday seasons even that is an accomplishment. i am doing the same even though i just started ww. it is so hard to say no to all the holiday goodies. my work is the worst place. i think we deserve a pat on the back for not gaining the holiday 15. 
have a good monday all!!!

Joining you
Hi all,
Sheri invited me to come over and check out this thread. We are buddies on another healthy eating board and she knew I was a single working on weight loss too. Enjoyed reading through the thread and looking forward to getting to know you all. I'm almost 2/3 of the way to goal weight but am currently just trying to hold through the holidays. After the New Year I'll be back to work trying to lose the last I would like to lose and then learning how to maintain. I'm currently totally stressed out by the holiday preparations but did make significant progress the last couple of days so hopefully by the end of the week I will have things under control.
Peg

Welcome, Peg! Glad you found us. 
Si...ah the memories of my drunken youth. LOL I know it's hard to believe NOW, but there may actually come a day when you don't feel the need to spend every weekend night getting wasted!
