Rivergal, Welcome back. I certainly remember you. I was hoping some of the old group would make it back soon. I know what you mean about gaining and then having to re-lose. But kudos to you for getting it back off so quickly. That is awesome.
WW, Too bad about the jacket. Don't you hate when you buy expensive clothes and they do that??? I have been shopping Lane Bryant lately because I like their styles right now, but you have to watch them closely because they shrink. And they are not cheap either. All blouses or sweaters from there I wash in cold and hang dry because of that. Thank goodness their jeans are ok. Miki, Hope you are doing good. How'd the MRI go? Well more good news for me. I interviewed for a job today and got it. And they are even going to work around me being gone the month of March. Didn't find time to excercise today w/ hubby leaving and the interview and all but right back on track tomorrow. Talk to everyone soon. MJ |
Hello all.
Wow, today was really busy day. I can't believe how busy work is these days...somedays you just want to throw in the towel and say "to heck with this"....then you remember all those bills....sigh....just one of those down days I guess. Welcome back Rivergal! Yup, I sympathise on the gain...I gained over the holidays too..and I have yet to get my groove back. I'll keep coming back here though and try to make it "click" again for me. Emjay...congrats on the job! Yay! What are you going to be doing? (if you don't mind my being nosy). Nice that they will be flexible with your planned time in March...that's a good sign the employer will be a good one! Well...I actually read the label on the blue jacket today. It says this, "Color may transfer when new. Wash before wearing". :doh: I guess I have turned myself (and my nice white undershirt) blue for no good reason, lol. Wow...I never read those labels...guess I will start. The blue did not come out of the shirt, but it is light enough that it won't show through when wearing it under a white blouse (which is what I bought the darn thing for). Me feeling pretty silly, lol. Well, it is pretty late here, and I need to make our lunches for tomorrow (or I will get lazy and buy my lunch...which means mega calories). I will drop in on you all tomorrow! |

Thanks for the welcome backs girls. Started my day off right. Did the 2 mile WATP this morning. It looks like it's gonna be another pretty day. Maybe I'll get a short walk outside in. Standing in the sun feeling the warmth from it this time of year feels so good. It's like taking time to stop and smell the roses except it's to feel the warmth of the sun. Boy, have I been out in the sun too long?:dizzy: What 's that coming out of my mouth? Deep thinking. Anyway, you girls have a great day. Tomorrow is weigh-in for me. Hoping to see some gone or at least one. I've been good this week for the most part so we'll see.
Mj: Was seeing a few post back that you & hubby bass fish. Me and my hubby bass fish too. My hubby more than me. He had rather fish than eat when he's hungry. I grew up in a fishing family. I use to hate to have to go fishing on the weekends with Mama and Daddy and wouldn't you know it, I marry a fisherman. But I love him deeply. So a fishing we will go. So yall think about him when on that lake cause he'd love to be there too. Congrats on the new job. Hope it's the best one you ever had. WW:I think so many gained over the holidays, you will get your groove back just hang in there. And try to keep from turning blue. Don't want anyone trying to give you mouth to mouth by mistake. LOL. Hoosierlady: Good deal on the pounds gone. U go girl. I was on here a while back so look forward to getting to know you too. I'm just a plain southern girl. Miki: Hope everything is going good for you. Hope to hear from you soon. Off to read some. Talk to ya later, RivergalCOLOR] |
Hoosierlady, Congratulations on the weight loss. Wow 4 lbs. that is great. I'm really curious what you are eating, I'd love to bump up my weight loss like that. You aren't counting points, you are doing their new plan right? Tell me more.
Rivergal, Which watp tapes are you doing? I am doing mostly the one for the abs right now but am always looking for some other good ones. I don't fish much either but my husband does avidly. Since I got a new job we may cancel the fishing trip to Lake Fork:?: Oh well. Didn't do great on food today but will try harder tomorrow. Got half way thru 3-mile watp when hubby called today (had to take the call). By the time I got off the phone they were on last 1/2 mile so I continued there. I figure I did about 2 miles. I will shoot for the 3-mile again tomorrow. Hope everyone else is well. Later. MJ |
morning all
Hello everyone:) ,
Well I did it I made to 2 miles woohoo thought I'd be sore today but nope feel just fine:carrot: Emjay that lost was for two week because I didn't get to go last week I have been losing about 2 pounds a week, now what I eat is really anything I want but I do track everything and stay with in my points and I use all my extra points the extra weeklky points allowance (35) I'm doing the felx plan and Iwalk a mile a day now trying to do 2 miles a day on my tread mill lol I watch oprah, now there is sometimes i just let myself eat whatever I want like last sunday we had kfc and I ate whatever I wanted but then the next day I just went back to staying in my points. I know with me I have always beat myself up when I cheated but now I don't I think thats one way I have been doing good with this by not stressing over the little mess up's because we all have to live life and sometimes that means eating out or whatever well good luck to everyone :hug: to all ps .. i" try to get here this weekend but if not i'll be here monday:) |
Hey all
Emjay I forgot to say that I quit using salt and I use a sugar sub and I use I can't bevlie it's not butter spray ..lol sorry bout that :o

Good day to all. Got mine started with the 2 mile WATP. Today was my weighin day and I'm down 2 pounds :carrot:
I told Scott before I weighed if nothing is gone I'll be disappointe but he said don't be cause you know some wks you lose some wks you don't. Which is true but thank goodness I did lose. I told him before I weighed, I'm gonna keep eating like I'm eating and exercise and if I don't lose I don't lose cause I'm not cutting my food down to little nothings cause I can't eat that way all my life. Cause once I start eating again it'd all come back. So the way I eat to lose has got to be the way I'll eat for a lifetime. So, it's working , I hope it continues to work. I figure if I eat like I should and exercise then all the over weight will come off and the real me will be left. Does that make sense? :dizzy: Mj: I'm sorry you have to cancel your fishing trip. but I'm glad you got the job. Hey, I know maybe we can go in your place. :chin: No, but I wish I could. Sounds like you're doing great on your WATP. I got the one that has the easy 1 mile and the brisk 2 mile using the stretchie band. What's the one that works the abs? I may get that one and try it. Lord knows I need all the help I can get. LOL. HL: 2 pounds a week is a good lose. That's really all we should lose to be doing it the healthy long term way and we won't have saggy skin once the weight is gone. Miki: Hey girl, hope you're doing ok, Miss ya on here. Hope to see ya soon. Later, Rivergal |
By the way I changed my April fool's day challenge and decided to do 10 pound mini goals. I think they'll work better for me. No set time to reach it just trying hard to stay on program and taking one day at a time. I use a lot of the can't believe it's not butter spray too. It's really good stuff.

HL, I didn't know you were supposed to count points when you were on the flex plan?!?! Thanks for the info about what you are eating. Yeah I'm w/ you on the not beating yourself up. It's good to eat what you want occasionally, makes it easier to eat better the rest of the time. That is right I forgot you couldn't weigh in last week. But still, 2 lbs. per week is great. I can only manage to lose 1 a week, argh.
RG, The watp for the abs uses the "walk away belt" which is a belt that you wear that has stretch cords w/ handles on it. I almost bought that one w/ the stretchie band. I also have a tape that utilizes some special weighted balls that she also sells, I never purchased the balls but just used some hand weights that I have had around forever. That is kind of frustrating that there is so many gadgets to buy, I wish she would just stick to one peice of equipment for all her tapes. I also have one of her tapes from way back it seems judging on the hairstyles and clothes they are wearing. And it is not called watp it's called walk aerobics. It's not too bad. I like to have a lot of them for variety, I don't want to get bored. But if you look for a new one my favorite is the one for the abs. I'm w/ you this "diet" really has to be a lifestyle change. Just like the excercising, it is something we should do for the rest of our lives. WW and Miki, Hope you are both well. MJ |
HL, Oh yeah I almost forgot but I wanted to tell you about a website that is a big help for people doing weight watchers, it is www.dottisweightlosszone.com. It has point values for food at tons of different restaurants and other good info too. Maybe you have already seen it but if not check it out. MJ

Hello ladies.
Just a quick post tonight, as I am tired already. Was a busy weekend. Hubby got his tattoo finished yesterday (that's what I got him for x-mas), then off to a birthday party in the evening, then up early this morning for a birthday/memorial type of party for my grandmother. Then.....spent the rest of the day doing laundry! I feel beat, even though I really didn't work too hard at anything, lol. I still need to run my dishes through the dishwasher tonight, and was really hoping to get the kitchen floors washed...so I'm running out of time for the weekend...Yikes! Sorry, I have to run...wanted to drop in so you all knew I was still here. Hope everyone had a great weekend! (and congrats on the losses everyone! Darn good job!). |
HL, I don't know what I was thinking. Actually I do now know what I was thinking, the core plan at ww. I got it mixed up with the flex plan (which they used to call winning points). So now we are on the same page about counting points. Which by the way I am having a hard time trying to stay within mine. I get 28 points a day and really haven't been taking in consideration the extra 35 points per week, although, I'm sure I have been using all of them. I also haven't been factoring in my excercise points because they say don't count them if you want to excelerate weight loss. But I'm probably using all of those too. Well some days are better than others and at least I am tracking what I eat and I know when I go over. Tomorrow is weigh-in for me hopefully I did ok.
WW, Great to hear from you again. Wow sounds like a busy weekend. Talk to you soon. Hey what was hubbies tattoo? MJ |
Hello
Hello ladies,
well the weekend is over and I'm glad because I didn't get my walking done:( but I'm going to today, my hubby got me a new treadmill friday it has a incline button so I'm gonna try that Emjay- 1 pound a week is good if you think of that in long terms thats 52 pounds in a year and thats good but I know I'm like you it don't feel like much well now that you know about the counting I bet you do better:) yeah it's hard to stay with in the points I get 26 points a day and some times I go over but thats when I use the 35 extra i don't always use my ap points , I do measure everything out or count things out to try to stay in my points I want to get a food scale so I can weight my meat oh I found a good snack and it's only 1 point fat free pringles you can eat 15 of them , what I do is get some little baggies ones that seal and count them all out put in the baggies and then you can grab one of them and you know how much is in it and how many points it is , I love chips so this is good for me I know about that web site and it's good but just be careful because she was worng with something I drank she had 3.5 and it was really 5 Rivergirl good luck with your mini goal :) WW ohhh I want a tattoo what kind was it?? p.s I have a mini goal to I want lose 10 ponds by march 4 because were going to go see George Strait,Tracy Lawrence and Miranda Lambert ohh I can't wait:carrot: :carrot: |
Hello ladies.
Well, hubby's tattoo is a big robot (50's style). It looks really good. The tattoo artist designed it for him and did a great job. Hubby used to have a lizard on his arm there, he got it when he was really young and it looked pretty crappy (a really bad job). The robot was to cover up the old yucky one...and it did the job. Can't even see the old tattoo anymore. Sorry this post isn't going to be so long. Today...I am sick. I'm sure it's just a cold...but I am so stuffed up and congested. It just started late last night, so I'm just starting to feel the aches, the sore teeth, the really sore & raw red nose. I am such a baby, lol. I'm mega thirsty too...so, I'm going to go lie down, and groan and whine and pour it on really thick so hubby will take pity on me and make dinner (he he he). He already picked me up from work....just too tired to walk today. Hope everyone is doing all right. I'm going to sleep for a couple of days. |
