Hey, Hey, Hey! Here I am! (That's my imitation of Fat Albert.) I'm Carole's sister-in-law -- the sweet, nice, dynamic, intelligent, gorgeous one. (I love the Internet. However no pictures will be posted.) I've been a past Weight-Watchers participant but am having trouble getting it going again. I'm 53, and an out-of-work human resource manager with three grown chilren, 4 grandchildren, a traveling husband and a Samoyed dog. I am actually working short-term special projects for a former employer, so I still keep busy. Carole and I became Yanni fans this week after I talked her into going with me to his concert on Tuesday. Neither one of us had ever seen him and neither of us really wanted to go. Wow! What a high energy show. We were surpised!

Otherwise, I like to golf, I bowl when I have to and I make sure to spend a lot of time with my grandchilren. Our youngest son is getting married in August and that dress I'm going to buy will serve as my best motivation.

Here I go. 64 ounces a day!

Pardon my sand!!!!!
 

Well, Princesses-It looks like we have a good group for a little Beach competition. OOPS! Sorry. I didn't mean to kick sand on you as I passed by! :devil:

Ivana B. Thin- The Princess of Goshorn

Hi! I'm Dream Catcher - aka Mary Jo. I was thinking about Ivana's comment about when she did this challenge previously, she was in great physical shape. In order to catch some dreams, I am going to have to start some good habits healthwise. I've been married to Al for 28 years and have 3 children - Trish is 25, Tiffany (Married to Matt) is 22 and Jared a high school senior. I work at Hospice (where I met Carole) in the admissions office. My job is good. I like photography, bike rides and the beach.

Drinking 64 oz everyday will be the toughest part of this challenge. I am starting to get my "sea legs" and expect to give ya'll a good challenge.

Ilean Machine is definately Queen of a lot of stuff...but she has got a run for her money this time :chin:

I too have had a little trouble with the 64 oz. Left 20 for me before bed the other night :doh: But am going strong and actually decided to give up fried foods for lent. So far so good! :D

Boy, sea legs is right -- I'm kind of floating with all this water! :lol:

I've hit 64 oz every day, although here it is 11 PM and I've still got almost a quart to go. Time to fill up! :cheers: Skoal!!

New Chick on the Beach
 

Hello all. I am looking forward to this challenge! I am Carole's niece. As I look to the next week which includes the day that I will no longer be able to say that I am in my 20s :stars: , it has made me really rethink my food choices and activity level. Right now, I am a happy 29 year old mother of two boys--Andrew (3) and Jack (7 months). I have yet to lose all that baby :bb: weight from the first. Recently, I have done pretty well losing some weight by walking and :strong: . But as my name says, I am a big snacker. I drink plenty of water, but those snack foods!!! I teach 3rd and 4th graders who love to share treats with their teacher!

As for hobbies, I enjoy walking and I do a lot of scrapbooking. Summer is a great motivator! Good Luck Ladies!

Ma Snacker :goodscale
