Good morning ladies. I hope all is well today.
Eleni- you hang in there. You can do this. Like Sherri said, we all do it from time to time. The reason. I'm not sure, but I think it's because we don't totally change our way of thinking. We change the habits, or work on them, but not always the cause. I'm just speaking for myself. I know when I get like that I have to stop and tell myself to stop, what are you doing? Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.

Sherri- you will be alright. You too, are doing great. Keep up the great work.

I did great last night. I had chili at Wendy's with only 1 pack of crackers. I also bought a salad. but got full.
that's my lunch. I had 2 small pieces of rice Krispy treats.
i haven't exercised this week, but like I said (excuse i know) I have a lot going on, and getting to bed late, and working early.
Flatlander, how are you doing it girl. I see you lost 3 pounds, weigh to go.
Christian, you did fine. just like me, making changes. they will show up next week. Everyone else you hang in there. And don't give up. We can do this.
Mickey, summer, where you at. Dimples. Take it one day at a time. You can do it. I know you can. Wild Rose how are you doing? and last but not least Way to go Walkracer. ps. I hope i didn't leave any one out and if I did, sorry. I know we all can do this. "Choose to lose is up to you"

Wendy,

You did great for lunch. Way to goal girl.

I was happy when I got on the scale this morning and it was back down still. So I am where I was last week on my scale so we will see what happens tonight. I did workout aerobics only for 1 hour last night. So that helped and I didn't eat dinner just some FF saltines with PB.
Next week though I am going to not mess up all week other then friday my day off. I am back to counting points and doing the SB plan 100%. I did count points most of the week this week but not a few days. So I have to do it next week to do better I know. So I am back on saturday. I did have 1 poptart this morning because I didn't have time to eat after cleaning my house before work today. But I only had 1 in the package and not both, gave the other to my daughter. Then I had a bid salad with only pepperoni and cheese for protein, then cucumbers, cauliflower and lettuce, carrots and bacon bits with FF Italian Dressing. So that was good. I am making fried rice but it is really reg rice not fried and homemade mac and cheese with WW elbow macaroni in it for my dinner. But I won't eat until I come home.
I am sure they will talk about the elections tonight seeing that next week we are voting. I think we have the nominations tonight I am not sure. I didn't get to stay for the meeting last week just weighed in. I will be able to stay tonight so I will see what is going on.
Wendy it is almost time for you to be co leader. You will do a great job.
Just think we will have 2 leaders here on our boards you and eleni.

Have a great day and I will come back later to tell you how I did tonight.

Hi everyone
Hope everyone is having a good week. I did lose 1/4 lb at weigh in. Our weigh in is on Tues. eve. But if I keep eating the way that I am. I will be gaining next week. Don't know what is going on. I know that I haven't been writing down everything that I am eating. So I may try that and keep track of my points. Right now I just feel like a little piggy I have been trying to drink my water. But it is making me so cold that I get goose bumps. Then I just cant get warm.
Can anyone help me. I like the little pictures that some of you have attached to your postings. I was wondering how to do that. I went in on my profile. Typed in teddy bear. Because I like them. And then the words teddy bear just came up under the words were my photo is suppose to be. So I went back and tried to delete that but its still there. Any ideas how to remove that. I am not real good on this computer stuff. About all I know how to do is get my e-mail and send e-mail. So any help would be appreciated.
Good luck tonight Sherri.
Sounds as if we have several losers on board. That is great. I am so glad this board is here. I don't know what I would do without it.
Well all you ladies have a good evening.
A TOPS PAL

i just got home from Tops etc. I did have a gain but I was expecting it. It was only 1# so that wasn't too bad. I expect to have a loss next week.
It looks like we will have 7 people going to SRD. It is like pulling nails to get people to make up their minds.
Our elections will be next week as everyones is. I am looking forward to a good year.
My cold is better so I am trying to get back to exercising.
We finally got some cold weather but it won't last long.
Some of you are just doing great. The rest of us will just have to catch up.
Well it is past my bedtime. Later

Hi all,

Well I had a terrible night at weigh in. I know it is mostly water weight but just the same it blew me away. I gained 6 lbs tonight. But I am back on track again tomorrow with the WW and the SB no cheating this week. I have to have a great loss this week to make up for what I gained tonight. I had no idea that I gained that much and I am bummed but I am back on the horse in the morning.
Another thing. I need so advice on this one and Summer and Eleni I know what you are going to say.
Tonight I had to say to the co leader we are supposed to have nominations tonight right. Because we have to vote next week. She said no we don't do that until april. I said no we are supposed to elect people next week. So she asked someone else and they said yes. The co leader is the one that started the group and has been leader many times and she didn't know this. Hello! Anyway guess what? They nominated me for leader. I got another girl to say that she would run so her and I are down for leader and co leader. So I guess I will end up with one of them. She said she would do either. I ended up telling her I would be leader and she could back me up. I also stated out loud when someone else nominated me that I did run last year for many positions and I didn't get voted in so I didn't want to run this year. Well the only reason they are wanting me this year is because there is no one else left for them to force into the position. I really wanted it so bad last year and I have a lot of great ideas to offer but I am just so hurt by it all. I don't know what to do. I emailed the other girl and told her how I felt that I wouldn't get excited about being voted in because it is the people that make the decision and it doesn't matter what you want even if they say they need you to want to be a part of everything. I did offer to her that if I did get leader then like wendy is doing that she can take 2 weeks and I can take 2 weeks and we could share the responsibility like you are supposed to and then we could do things to get people involved throughout the year. I would love to do it. But I just can't get excited about it. I have a terrible attitude toward the whole thing. I was almost ready to quit the group a few months ago. I know I can make some changes and that this is a good position to be in but I don't know now if I would be a good leader or not. I definetly have to change my attitude though if I do get elected though. What would you all do. I am so confused and I don't know what to think.

Coco,
You keep going girl and don't give up. This will pass and then you can get back on track again. Just start journaling food again and see if that helps any.

Sherri, I am so tired I can barely keep my eyes open so I am not going to spell check this or nuthin' but you will make the most KICK As* leader your group has ever seen. Do NOT doubt your abilities my beautiful frend, you can do this soooooo easily! You have all the right stuff. Forget the past Hakuna Matata! and good luck!! Besides, you can count on all of us to support you thru the rough patches! It's like Nike says "just do it!"

Night all!
