i dont know if u have "food lion" grocery stores there .. but their store brand ff cheese is far superior to the name brands in taste..

It's interesting how you can tell where you live geographically by what grocery stores you have. I think Food Lions are only below the Mason Dixon Line, LOL. I've lived in the south so I"m familiar with Food Lion and Kroger and Harris Teeter, etc. (My dad worked for a grocery store) We have Weis/King's which I bet you never heard of either.

You mean there are other stores besides Anchor Bay Village Market??? ;) hehehehe

Hi PIC's!

How is everyone this fine Sunday evening? We're doing well here. It's been cold'ish too... I needed to use an ice scraper on my car windows this morning, if I owned one, but heck.... i didn't even bring a coat with me when I moved to California. Who knew?? lol...

Val~ :hug: I was wondering if you were still doing the hula hoop thing... I'm laffing thinking about the last time I tried one. I'm sure I looked even sillier than I felt. I am SOOO uncoordinated. Good luck with the sale!

Curly~ Thanks for the look on EBay tip... For the time being I'm finding some great info on different websites. One has a calculator to figure out WW points based on cals, fat & fiber (i think).. Good luck with your tree;)

Mom~ Congrats with the size 14!!! I think I was about a Jr. in high school last time is was in a 14- swimming 3-5 hours per day at the time. I've always been 'chunky' but I was solid back then. YOu must feel soooooo good.

AngelEyes~ Hey GF... breakfast with santa? You lucky lady lol... I was going to have a tree this year but when the plans changed to go to CO for new year, I kind of got out of the mood... it's been hard since my mom passed away to get into the Christmas thing. She was a complete Christmas freak!! It was always special. Now, since we don't have kids, there just seems no real reason. *sigh* maybe next year.

TLB~ Hey woman! How's your snow?

Petra~ Your nuts sound soooo good. The honey bbq- yummmmmmm. But I'm not gonna get me started lol.

And to the rest of you~ :grouphug: I hope you all are doing well!!! We'd love to hear from you.

I have a lot of people say to me they could never hula hoop and I say to them with my hoops you can!

I just love to see the look on peoples faces when they start hooping for the first time! It is so much fun! So even if I don't sell any hoops hopefully we can at least have some fun at curves with them!

I don't have a Food Lion by me. We have Dominicks (safeway) & Jewel. Both have a really poor selection of LF and FF cheese. I talked to my husband and apparently they did have the lite Laughing Cow cheese at the fruit market but he bought the full fat one. Guess I don't have him trained that well yet:lol:

I finally got my tree decorated yesterday. Lucky for me, the boys don't seem interested in it.

I have my nut and pumpkin seed samples all packaged up to take to work today.

We had our first official snow yesterday-2". Had to do a little shoveling. I think we may get more this week. It's like this the rest of the winter here which is really annoying. Most of our snows are just enough to be annoying-we rarely get more than 6" at once so I have to go to work, on time no matter what. The only day we have been closed since I've been here is the day it snowed 2 feet. So if it snows, I want some REAL snow. LOL

Mom-I'm also into size 14 most of the time. However, I bought a pair of black pants recently without trying them on that are size 14 and unfortunately, they don't fit yet so I guess I have something to work toward. It's nice to be out of the plus sizes.

Have a good day everyone.

WOOHOO...Mom and Petra into 14's!!! Great job Petra. I find that sizes really do vary quite abit, so not to worry. You'll be in those pants in no time.

I cleaned out my spare closet the other day for donation day coming up and was quite surprized at how many of my dressier clothes fit me again or were loose. Unfortunately, I'm not working and some of the styles have changed alot so I'm not going to keep them. It was great trying them on and finding they were big on me though!!!:carrot:

Well weigh in day was another maintain. I almost didn't weigh in and then I thought....hmmm, I wonder if I did lose? NOPE....My pants are abit looser on me so thats a good thing. It hard not to get discouraged though....the motivation is starting to waiver but I'm not giving up yet. I'm ready to head to the gym and workout before TOM comes .....blech!!!

Hey Ladies,
gues what, I'm down again!! whoo hoo, that thanksgiving .2 came right off this week. I was down 2.8! I'm so psyched. I'm on week 3 of the Jillian work outs and they are fun but hard. I'm loving it. I can do it at homein the morning before my son gets up which is great.

iwonn, the WW points are roughly 50 calories each so in the list, they are generalizing, I'm sure you could habe a 6 pt burito or a 20 point depending. Its best to use your slider to figure out points. The smaller numbers of points make it easier to count calories plus it takes in to consideration the fiber and fat in the food.

Mom and petra, I can't wait until I'm in a 14 pants. I keep losing but mostly from my upper body. I'm a big booty girl which is cool, I love my shape but I still want to be in a 14.

Val I want a hoola hoop. I love hooping, my son and I would have contest but he would always win :(

Angel, I'm on week three, those mountain climbers hard!!! get the heart pumpin!

Curly, I love food loin. Do you have Super Fresh, I like that when I lived in Baltimore I think just because I wanted to say it all the time, Super Fresh!

TEB, Val, Lisa, everyone I'm missing, Have a good one and keep losing.
Jennie

Jennie~ My slider to figure out points??? The only slider I got just tells me how many points for whatever actavity... I'll have to ask. Maybe they forgot to give me that one. lol... the thing about the burrito- that's what's got me confused, but actually I do know. I'm just used to much more structured food programs... not to worry, I am down about 2 lbs on my home scale this morning.... we'll see :) Ya'll have a wonderful wonderful day... (It's MY Friday!!!! WooooHOOOOO) :grouphug:

they are calling for 8" of snow here today! hard to belive cuz it was 59 outside yesterday!! crazy weather!

we did have "super Fresh" but it closed... remember when super fresh was the A&P??? lol

i am making myself watch every morsel that goes into my mouth and i am back to using my fit day ..

hard to believe by afternoon yesterday i had to go find something to eat (boiled egg) cuz my calories were coming out way to low... lol didnt think i would ever have that problem!!

Hi Jennie. The slider thing is a calculator that slides when you line up your calories, fat grams and fibre for a food item. You get all that info from your food label from any product. It is a neat gizmo that you don't have to refer back and forth to the books. Good luck!!

grrrrrrrr :( SNOWING LIKE A BLIZZARD HERE!!

Hi PIC's!

It's freezing cold here today! -1 with windchill! I had to carry my hoops over to curves since they won't fit in my car. Boy did I get some weird looks :lol:

Today was my weigh in and I didn't loose any weight. I'm a little dissapointed but I was down 5 pounds last week so I guess it all evens out.

I hope everyone is having a good day! Curly I hope the snow stops soon if you don't like it!

I like it when i am at home ... lol and i dont have to go any place! but this means i prob wont be able to go work out... guess i will have to unfold the gazelle and stop using it for a coat rack tonite! :)

Poor you Curly. Nothing worse than being housebound, but the good thing is your gazelle is calling your name!!! Were you off today or did the snowstorm change things for you? I bet everything looks beautiful...all dusted oh..er....buried might be a better term if you are getting 8" of snow!!! :D

I picked up some protein powder today. What with both you and Petra talking about it, I decided to give it a try. Holy Honking Huge container!!!.....I got it at Costco, $20 for a 6 lb tub. I think thats a pretty good deal. :carrot: I can't wait to give it a try.
