TGI Friday
 

Wanda,

I think that is great that you turtled. Congrats especially since you said you didn't do well all week. You are doing awesome. How much do you have to lose to be 7 under goal? You can do it. Yes I did drop out of tops last nov. the pressure was too much and the stress. My group didn't do things like they should and they weren't serious about losing or the group. I was co leader and I felt like I caused more trouble trying to get the group and chapter going in the direction it should be. There was a lot of stress and I was so relieved when I quit. I still believe that tops the orginization is great. When the chapter is run the right way it is awesome. But they weren't having meetings and when they did they were only like 20 min to 30 min instead of the full hour like they should be. I complained about that and only got flax from the others. They were always in a hurry to leave and most were there for the social end of it. They didn't want to do anything it was very frustrating.
But I have you ladies here and I have always gotten more support here then in my own group. I am so glad I came here and met everyone it was a blessing. That is why I try my best to support you guys as much as I can in return. We really care about each other and that is a great feeling.
I have heard of the south beach diet. Did you like it? Sounds like you kinda made a plan for yourself that is great.
I never joined WW I had a friend explain the points to me on the 123 plan and then I bought the food guide and dining out guide and got the rest from dotties site along with a calculator. So that is how I did it. I know the points now by heart on most things. I love the plan. I still have to look up some things though.

Well I have to get going and get some exercise in you take care and keep going you will be 7 lbs under goal by ard.

Hi Everyone,

Congratulations, Sherri, I'm very happy for you. Being pregnant and having a new baby is so exciting. (I can remember those long ago days). Take care of yourself and that little one.

Well, I gained a pound today, but I knew I would have a gain. I ate out too many times and ate things that I could not find a calorie count on. But I will take it off this week. I was the best loser for our chapter last month with a 5 lb. loss. Gotta work on it again.

We had to take the cats to the vets for their annual shots. If there is anything that I dislike, it would be taking them to the vet. One weighs 17.5 lbs. and he refuses to get into a pet carrier, so we put a leash on him and wrap a towel around him. He cries like we are killing him. He is the biggest scaredy cat I have ever seen.

Congratulations to those of you that had a loss this week. LaDean, I'm really proud of you for that 11 weeks in the black. Keep up the good work.

I have dinner on cooking, so I must go and check on it.

til later

Just time for a quickie..............

Sherri, It's now official and I'm happy that your hopes came true. Take care of your health and the babes. New vehicles are always fun. Enjoy driving it. Sounds like you are doing great......and it sure helps when Megan is happy too.

Nita, The wedding and everything that went with it was fun and yes you had a small gain, but you are doing sooooooo wonderful!!!! You will get it off and CONGRATS on being best loser last month. Can't remember if I asked how much more you have to lose before you reach goal. Keep going !!!!!

Have a great evening and start to your weekend, ladies. Have a lot planned this weekend and I'll try to check in. Chat with you all later!!!!!

Hugs, Brenda

Summer....I have another 25 lbs. to lose to get to goal. I just reached the half way point. At the rate that I lose, it will take me another year. Which is okay with me because I want to have time to make permanent changes in my eating habits. Have a good weekend.

Coco.....Hope you are doing okay. Haven't heard much from you lately and I miss you.
