Noelle Count me in!!!:carrot: :goodscale

I want to join in but I know how hard I am struggling. Maybe I can do it and just say like one lbs or something. That sounds like I am cheating doesn't it?

Kempy, That sounds good to me. You will lose more slowly now anyways so I say go for it.

How does this sound for a breakfast? It figures out to about 5 points, if I did it correctly. 1 serving of oatmeal with cinnamon and 1 TBS. of peanut butter mixed in. I think I read on here somewhere that someone has that for breakfast. Do you think there would be too much fat in it to have every morning? I made some up to try and it does taste good....at least to me because I dont really care for oatmeal but this way it kinda tastes like a peanut butter cookie. :lol:

No Kempy, it's not cheating. If you feel like setting your goal for 1 lb, then set it like that. It's better to set a goal than none at all, methinks. I personally need to set a goal for myself, otherwise I just kind of flounder and do nothing. I think I'm going to try and lose the SAME 8 lbs by July 4th. It's not that far away at all, just about 7 weeks. :fr:

Angie, that sounds like it tastes delicious. I wouldn't worry too much about the fat content right now, as long as you figure the points correctly, you will lose. You will also realize that as you go down in weight and points, you will get really stingy with using them on stuff like peanut butter, and start buying the reduced fat or ff versions :lol: --trust me! It's like money in a checkbook, you will want to spend your points on something really worth it. My leader always asks, "if something will cost you "xx" amount in points, what would you do?" I always say, "don't eat it!" :lol: Peanut butter has the protein to keep you satisfied, as does the fiber in the oatmeal. That sounds like a good breakfast. :hun:

Why in the world do animal crackers have to be so many points. I bought that big container and they are 3 pints per 16 crackers. At this rate I will be finished with the container in the year 2010.

I guess you guys are busy tonight. I was expecting to see more posts.

Good Morning everyone!! It is dark out here today but it hasnt rained so that is good. I just took Rebel for a walk and we even added on a bit more to it...he was surprised when we walked past our road on the way back. :lol:

I am going to make quesadillas for supper tonight with lots of mushrooms,peppers and onions. I used Cabot reduced fat shredded cheddar cheese for the cheese. YUM! I also bought a nice Southwest marinade for the chicken so I am hoping they are good. I also boiled a cabbage yesterday for me and the twins for a filler. We all like it with just some salt sprinkled on it.

I found another set of the ww scales on ebay so I let my mom know about it and she got those yesterday. :lol: I am glad I won mine now too because my old bathroom scales are a little iffy. They still weigh right but they have their days where you have to fidget with them to turn them on. :lol:

Well, I gotta go make some cookies for the accounts. I will be back later.

I got my TaeBo in for the day. I feel much better knowing I have it done now. The tile guys are coming backt o grout the bathroom and the entry way so there was no way to workout while they were here. I ordered the Billy Blanks Bootcamp. I heard it is good so we will see.

Angie get those walks in b4 the rain starts. You are really doing good. I know once you get your WW materials you will do great.

I have to et dressed for work now. I'll be home for lunch today so I will hop on to chat.

Hi Girls, Good Morning!

Just did 15 minutes minutes of hard work on my excercise bike and excercised with Gilad again. My eating has not been so good but I have been working that bike everyday this week. I want to run to the store and pick up some salad fixings for tonight.

Noelle I hope your Dad gets well soon. I did watch AI. I felt bad for Elloitt, he seemed like a nice guy. Did you know he wears an insulin pump? I am hoping Taylor makes it too. Count me in for the 4th! I am not going to set a number but I do want a loss.

Kempy great job getting some excercise in all ready this morning. Doesn't it feel good to get some in for the morning?

Angie, you dinner sounds great for tonight. Wonderful job girl keeping up the walks! Last winter I would always eat oatmeal with peanut butter, I never tried it with cinnamon though. It does taste like a peanut butter cookie, minus the Crisco, haha....but really it is filling and usually keeps me full until lunch.

Well I am off to hope in the shower, I worked up a good sweat! Check back later. Have a great day!

Where is everyone today? I wsa expecting to sit down and have lots of reading to do. I hope you all come out soon.

Julie I wish I could get Gilad. I just loved him when I used to workout with him. Iused to take it but I have long since gotten rid of those. Does he still have that girl with the long braid? She used to drive me crazy. You know how it is when you watch something so many times you start to pick out the little things going on in the back ground?

Mmmm Supper was good! I will be making those again. :lol: :hun:

I told Jay that I think it was fate that I got back on track. You see the Wendy's that we usually eat at when we go grocery shopping just up and closed their doors a couple of weeks ago and everytime I have tried to walk this week it has stopped raining long enough for me to get them in. :lol:

Kempy, How did your day go today? Great I hope.

It was good Angie. I was able to do TaeBo this morning and take the dogs for a walk just now. I think my eating has been pretty good too. I am craving something sweet though. I think I might have to have a popscile since they are 0pts.

Angie when the universe is ready, it is ready. I knew you would be doing great.

Hi Ladies,

Long long time no looky. I have read a few posts but it seems so long I cant begin to catch up. Things have been very crazy here at work. I now have 2 staff down. If you recall I was having trouble with 1 well now I feel soooo stinky as she was admitted to hospital last week with cancer. All I wanted was for her to go & now I feel really bad for harbouring all those thoughts. eeeeeeeekkkkkkkk she is only 44 so it really puts life into perspective eye.

I have not been really good on the food front which in a way is probably pschologically why I have always found something else to do when I had 5 seconds to get online here but hey we all have cruddy weeks. I think I have to start feeling happy with where I am at rather then always wanting something else (or rather be someone else ... a skinnier me) cause if I think about the skinnier me & it doesnt happen in 2 weeks then I just want to give up. Sound familiar????

Anyways just wanted to touch base & say hello. I am off away for the weekend so everyone Take care & I will weigh in again on Monday & take stock of the recent damage. Weighing in is not something I have done for a few weeks now.

Hey ladies, I'm just back from my walk. I took Lucky and we walked to the bank, a 3+mile round-trip. That backpack is doing wonders for her, no pulling and no excess energy when we get back. That dog used to be able to play ball for hours even after a 3+ mile walk w/out the pack. I wish I had that kind of stamina.

Anyway, my dad was released from the hospital yesterday afternoon, he had some kind of intestinal polyps that were irritated so that caused the bleeding....sorry if that's TMI. It's a good thing though, because initally they thought he had a bleeding ulcer. He is still a little slow and weak, but definitely on the mend. THat was a scary thing for our family, as we know my parents are getting up there in age, but we don't want to think about their mortality, ya know?

Maggzs, your workload must be a huge stressor for you. I'm sorry about your co-worker--but really, you musn't feel bad about the way you felt about her job performance, you couldn't have known about her cancer. Enjoy your weekend :hug:

Julie, great job for exercising on that bike and w/Gilad :strong: Even though your eating may not be what you want it to be, you are getting good exercise and that is better than none at all. I did not know that about Elliot and his insulin pump. I think he will do well from this point on if he chooses to cut an album, he as a nice voice.

Angie, those quesadillas sounded good. I might go out and get some spinach tortillas and make some this weekend. So your Wendy's closed? I just read in the news that 3 more are being built on my side of the island....what does that mean for me??!!! :lol: I can always get the baked potato and a small chilli cup. :rolleyes:

I gotta run and get to work. Hi to everyone :wave:

Good Afternoon Ladies!! :lol: I have been busy busy busy today. I made scone and pumpkin whoopie pies to sell at MIL bakery this weekend. Hopefully that will bring in some extra cash. I have only had time to get in one walk today but at least I got that in I say. :lol:

Maggz, I am the same way as you. We will get the hang of it someday. :lol:

Noelle, maybe I should get one of those packs for Rebel. He can play ball all day if we would throw it for him.

YEAH!!! :cheer: I am so glad that your Dad is home. I bet he is too.

Well, I should go do something. :lol:

Good Morning!! I am down 3 pounds for this week. I cant wait for my new scales to come. Of course they will probably be a different weight than these ones...Maybe for the better. :lol:

I am just waiting for the rain to break for a minute so I can get in my walk. I bought some of those weight watchers 1 point snack cakes yesterday after reading about them. GROSS!! People actually waste their time eating that junk? I would much rather make something of my own and take my chances then eat those dry little things. :lol:

I did get some of the cookies n cream ice cream bars. YUM!! Now those were huge and so worth it and only 2 points. Jay even like them. I bought some goldfish 100 calorie packs as well.

Has anyone tried the Crystal Light Fruit Punch yet? That is so good. It tastes just like kool aid. That will help me get my water in because I could drink that steady.

Well, I hope you all have a great weekend and you even get a chance to post. :lol:
