Eleni-hope dd is doing better. Sorry to hear about her foot.
You are doing good. Keep up the attitude. That is a hard one to keep up. We try, and try, and just the little things seem to stop us for a while. It is so easy to get off track. But you are sounding great.
Nita, sounds like things are going well for you. I would love to lose a pound a week, or two. Hang in there, it will all pay off eventually. Have fun shopping
Sherri- congrats on everything. YOu are doing awesom.
Me-I'm doing ok; Got a lot done Saturday, and hubby helped.
Started late doing it (cleaning) couldn't get off the computer. Sunday, didn't do too bad. Went to a movie, and had some popcorn, but stayed in control all day, i think.
Trying something different at work today. It has it's pros and cons, working on figuring out which out weighs the other.
we will see. gotta go.

Just wanted to pop in for a minute and say Hi to everyone.
I'm going shopping this morning. I want to see if there are some long dresses on sale. We got our packet for SRD and I think I will participate in the Leaders parade.
Coco....I think I would count the Burger King chili the same as Wendy's. I guess its a new item at Burger King and is not on the fast food nutrition list yet.
Its the beginning of a new week and I hope that all of you and me, too, have a great week and lose lots of pounds.
Here's some good vibes for a great group of ladies.
I hope you have a great day today checking out the job. How did you do yesterday? Are you back on track and doing well. I know you can do this. Stick with it and think positive and get your things done that need to be done and you will do great. Good luck at weigh in tonight.
Nita,
I hope you find a dress today. I am sure you will find a great one. That would be cool to participate in the parade. Keep up the great work.
Wanda,
How are you doing? Did you have a great weekend? You are doing great keep up the great work.
Eleni,
Hey your team won yesterday congratulations. They will be going to the superbowl.LOL Did you have fun with the granddaughter over the weekend? Keep the great attitude you are doing awesome. I am sure because you didn't eat out all weekend the scale will really be down this week. You are doing great. I am proud of you. Hang in there.
Christie,
Are you back to the sugarbusters? Can't wait to chat with you today. You are doing great as well.
Coco,
Did you have a great weekend? Sounds like you will have a loss this week to.
As for me I am off today because of the holiday. I am going back to my exercise today for the week. Going to do the 1 hour tape today seeing I don't have to go to work. It will start the week off good for me I think. My eating is doing great. I have control and everything is going as it should. I went to the buffet for dinner last night. Had 1 plate full and 2 rolls. But get this I couldn't even finish what was on my plate and I didn't even try. Normally I would finish it no matter what and I stopped when I was full. I couldn't believe I still had food on my plate. It was a great feeling.
We are just going to loaf today. I am going over to my best friends house to visit later. Other then that nothing happening here.
Have a great day everyone and remember to make healthy choices in all you do. Keep a positive attitude and you will win this battle.
I had a super week end, did well OP, until this AM!!! I went to a brunch and blew it. At sweets, which I have been off of since last week!!!
But I am mad, gave myself a good talking to and AM BACK ON THE PROGRAM!! Just hope I didn't do too much damage and will have a loss this Thursday!
Nita, hope you fine a dress! The last year I was leader, TX didn't have SRD as we had IRD. So I didn't get to participate in the leaders parade. But it is fun...hope you enjoy. I find that the more you get involved the more motivated you are and you get more encouragement.
Eleni, how 'bout them Buc's! Are you a big football fan?
You are doing so great! I'm proud of you!!! Hope you daughter's foot will be okay. How is she doing? Some way to start a cruise, huh!
Shortstack, How was your weekend??? Thinking about you!
Sherrie, your advise is right on point! Thanks for reminding us!!!
Hi all,
Had a great weekend! Went to a piano and poetry recital. It was wonderful. The first time, but certainly not the last i will attend a recital. If you get the chance and enjoy classical music and poetry, GO!
As for eating, I have not been doing too bad, could be better but could be much, much, worse. Back to the gym today, 10 minutes on the cross trainer and an awesome lower body workout. Feels great!
Weigh in for me is tomorrow night, so we will see how I made out, but I think I am down 1 lb maybe. Keep your fingers crossed.

Hope everyone had a great weekend. Ours was so-so. Hubby is still under the weather. Took him to the Dr's today. Has a upper respiratory infection. I dont think he got over it from before. So they gave him so more med. Hopefully it clears him up this time.
I didnt do to bad with my eating yesterday. But last night I was kinda pickin. But hopefully I didnt do to much damage. I started today off right. But then for lunch I kinda blew it. We went to Arby's for lunch after hubby's appt. I thought ok. I will get a bake potato. They had 3 choices. Sour cream. Broccoli and cheese or cheese, chive, sour cream and butter. Will I chose the cheese, chive, sour cream butter. But I didnt get the sour cream. Dont care for it. But there was hardly and cheese, or butter on it. But when I got home. Was I in for a surprise. There is 15 points in that potato. So much for being good. I told hubby I should have got a sandwich. I asked if they had salads. But they didnt. So for supper I had a fat free yogurt and mandrin oranges. Will have a cup of sugar free hot cocoa after bit also. Weigh in tomorrow night. So I guess I really need to start watching what I order out.
Well ladies I hope everyone has great losses this week. Keep up the good work. Sounds as if everyone is on plan. And that is wonderful. Have a great evening. Stay warm.
A TOPS PAL
It's getting late, but wanted to pop in and say that I did 5 miles on the bike. Took it slow, but the knee is letting me know that it still isn't right. Mentally I feel better....which is good 'cause I've been in a real slump. Eating needs to get better tho.
Coco, potato's sound healthy, but it is a starch that turns right to sugar....and then those toppings! Yep a sandwich would have been better, especially with only 1/2 the bun.
Virginia, good going on the workout. Yep, I know that eating....
Wanda, don't worry about the buffet. You know what you did and it sounds like you are rectifying your lapse.
Sherri, WOW!!!!!! You left food on your plate. Good for you!!! That is still one I haven't done. I still hear my mother ......
Nita, SRD....I know yours is 2 months before mine. In regards to the dress, our leaders don't wear anything long. Dress, yes, and midcalf is acceptable. You might want to check. In fact, at IRD, I was suprised at all the midcalf lengths Very nice. It's about time they have gotten with the times. One thing I couldn't believe was that there was a dress with splits on both sides all the way up to.....oh my! I could see right through it , unbelievable. I had the 'lucky' view 6 rows from the raised stage. You should have seen the field staff talking!
Eleni, keep up your postive mood .... you are doing well. Good for you not going out to eat this weekend. See, told ya the Buc's would win!
Wendy, sounds like you are getting back on track. Keep it up!
To all our other ladies out there, we're doing great.....no matter what the pace.
Summer.... Our SRD is April 11 and 12. Up until this year Leaders were required to wear long dresses. I have gotten notice, twice, that in Florida and Michigan, we can now wear mid-calf length dresses, but floor length is still preferred. Their motto: "Dress to Impress".
I was keeping an open mind on the long or mid length, but I didn't find either today. I did find some dresses on sale, but they looked horrible on me. So many of the clothes now have spandex in them and they cling and show all the lumps and rolls. I still have 2 months before SRD and I'm sure I'll find something in that time. If not, I still have the dress I wore 2 years ago.
Hi ladies
Just dropping in to say hi. Went for a nice swim with hubby this morning, did several laps, then soaked in the hot tub. This afternoon, my girlfriend and I will go to the gym for our daily workout. Upper body today.
Cold and blustery here today! Brrrrrr!
Have a good day all, my weigh in is tonight so I will check back in either tonight or tomorrow with the results.
Virginia
Good morning
Good morning, everyone!
I went to a brunch and blew it. At sweets, which I have been off of since last week!!!
