OK everyone lets keep up the good work and I will post again tomorrow. Glad to see all the post for today.

today wasn't as good as I had hoped, but part of it was because my roomie hasn't gotten milk yet (it's her turn...was last time as well now that I think of it..) and so I couldn't have my slimfast. I know that just sounds like a lame excuse, but I really do better when I have those everyday. I guess I have more motivation not to cheat cause I'm paying more for that than the food (or at least in my mind I am). But anyway, it wasn't all that bad either, so I'll just call it a draw.

And, while I'm definitely not asking your age or anything, I was just thinking that I seem to be the youngest one here...by, well not a lot perse, but...enough. I just kinda stumbled in here one day. I'm really glad I did, but it feels a little...odd.

and wow I love ellipses.

hope everyone else did well today. keep it up!

missindy- I am 49 years old. I have been married to my highschool sweetheat for 33 years. We and have 4 children and 9 grandchildren.

I am glad you are here with us and hope that my age doesn't scare you away.

Hope things get better for you with your roommate. When my husband and I went to college we had 4 children and lived in campus housing. It was very hard we both worked and went to school.

Whew now that I got wishing you all a great Halloweenie, however you may celebrate it...Harvest Fest, etc. Hope you all have a "healthy day"

Missindy...I am ahemm........the big 40 : However I act like I am 20 However weight has NO age limit... at different ages in our lives we all struggle, so don't let that discourage you...I have at daughter at DUKE University, in NC, so I know all about campus life, I too went to college seems like yesterday, keeping up with my daughter keeps me young along with my 12 year old son, a cat and a dog and a DH who could steak and potatoes every day of his life but I won't let him so don't feel out of place cuz you're young, this "old lady" needs a young outlook

Well ladies I hope the queen eats too many snickers bars today ooops did I say that
Not really hope we all stay on track and do not eat too much candy today Don't forget to exercise too....

Well, today is Halloween. I was supposed to go to a bonfire tonight, but I'm so far behind on my homework I'll just be all night instead. Changing to all upperclass courses sucks. However, on the diet front that's good, cause lord knows what kind of food they would have.

Also, I am never eating out again. Well, that's probably not true. But I was stealing pics of Ruby Tuesday food from the site to put in my speech about working there and I decided to check out the nutrition info. holy crap. It's horrible! I mean I knew it wasn't good, but... I used to eat that stuff everytime I worked a double. Not anymore.

Well, today is another day. Roomie's getting milk this afternoon.

off to study. have a super day! did I really just type that...geez

Hey Misindy,
I know what you mean, on whats in the food or drink at these places....

I was a Starbucks addict until I found out how many calories were in my Carmel Frappuchino

From the Starbucks site:

Caramel FrappuccinoŽ Blended Coffee
A decadent treat of coffee, milk and caramel blended with ice and topped with whipped cream and a swirl of caramel sauce.

Serving Size 16 fl. oz.

Amt Per Serving

Calories 430

Fat Calories 140

Total Fat (g) 16

Saturated Fat (g) 10

Trans Fat (g) 0

Cholesterol (mg) 65

Sodium (mg) 270

Total Carbohydrates (g) 61

Fiber (g) 0

Sugars (g) 52

Protein (g) 6

Vitamin A 0%

Vitamin C 0%

Calcium 20%

Iron 0%


Now for a woman on a 1400-2000 a day caloric intake 430 calories on just a drink, not to count Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner no wonder I ate/drank myself out of my pants

It is a real eye opener when you actually look at a serving and how many calories/fat are in that small serving..kwim...

Hit the books girl
Remind roomate to purchase milk....
and don't forget to take breaks to stretch....

Good Morning!!
I feel so good today. The weather here is great. Cooler weather makes me more active. I feel good enough to praise our Queen. All hail Queen Scalewatcher. Even if your throne is coming to an end!!

Well it looks like I am the oldest of the bunch which means I'm the WISEST and the one who has had the most fun!! I just celebrated my 49th!! Missindy, In case you are feeling "too young for us" Let me put this in language your age will understand ..... "WHATEVER" That's alright you will be here one day. I'm just messing with ya.

Gordie, I'm a myspace girl. If you want to see me you will have to go to www.myspace.com/kiwi1024. I don't know how to add pictures to 3FCs.

Hey Suz and Danni great info on the water. I am drinking about a case of water a week. That's about 3 16oz bottles a day. I thought that was good, but according to your info.I should be drinking about 6 bottles a day. Wow. I have alot of work to do.

Suz, I love cold water with lemon but what's with the hot water? What's that for or do you just like hot water and lemon?

Danni we still take the kids out for Halloween. But our Fall Fest is a time to enjoy friendships and add new ones by having a huge party that all age groups can enjoy. Some churches around here hold Fall Fest. on Halloween night so that we don't have to go door to door and its save for the kids. But this is of course centered around kids not adults.


Anyway, chat at ya later

Another beautiful day! Spent the day yesterday with my sister and daughter in Love.
I plan to go to the lake and feed the ducks today. There is a walking area there so I will also walk.

Well now its time for Thanksgiving, more food to contend with. Then Christmas and all the sweets that come with that holiday! Just thinking about it makes my mouth water.

My sister started weight watcher and has this receipe book. I'm going to see if they have holiday desserts. That would be good.

I love the Holidays. Not just for the food. Its the attitude during the holidays I like. People are nicer. More thoughtful (Except for last minute Christmas Eve shoppers )

Have a great day

Good Morning Everyone

Welcome to the greatest month of the entire year! As I always say there is NOVEMBER and then there are all the rest....

Last night was very very hard for me..I almost went off of my new healthy way of eating

Every Halloween I host a bonfire, with pizza and subs, beer, wine, the guys usually take the kids out trick or treating and us women stay behind keep warm by the fire and pass out candy, well all that food
that sub was calling my name, ....Dannnniii....but I DID NOT EAT ANY I went in the house and ate a 5 calorie pickle instead and today I like myself so much more for not blowing it So watch out Scalewatcher....all you will be watching is ME snatching that crown off your head come Friday...

Kiwi..sounds like you had a great night too....way to go!

Well I am off work today..get to clean up the mess outside

hi everyone
i know this i am about 2 months late in asking, but can i join your group? You all sound like a supportive bunch of people and a fun group to be with. I was 171 pounds (im ony 4"10"), and I went down to 124 pounds, but i feel like i am slowly gaining weight. I now weigh 128 pounds, need to lose about another 20 pounds for my height. I hope that Im not interferring in your group and if you have too many people, I understand. Otherwise, i would love to be there for you guys and to have support from you for me. You can send me private messages if you would like. I am thinking about joining Weight Watchers.
Thanks
