GOOD EVENING Countdowners

For those of you who are reading this for the first time let me say: We are a group of various weigh folks that post here to give and get encouragement. You are welcome to join us down this walk to thin.

I have had a good OP day. It started out that I had to get up earlier than usual and go out for breakfast with some folks to a buffet type affair. There were many lovely choices to be made of lots of delictable mouth watering dishes. However, I chose wisely and enjoyed the company and chit chat around the table. I love http://www.3fatchicks.com/ubb//love.gif it when I have these moments of control.

Have a wonderful Friday all of you Countdowners. My how the time does pass for the weekend is quickly upon us.

DON'T EXCHANGE WHAT YOU WANT MOST FOR WHAT YOU WANT AT THE MOMENT

Hi everyone...thank goodness it's almost Friday!! I have had a horrid head cold/sinus infection and, while I can't figure out the connection, I have been having real trouble staying OP! It's like, since I don't feel good, anything goes. :(

I have designated tomorrow as the day I get up, get on the treadmill, get back OP and on track. I have done well but have a long way to go..I can't stop now!

I have just finished going through and reading all your posts and I can see that we all take our turns with the struggle. Thanks for the words that are helping me to believe..no...KNOW that I can do this!

Now, I have to get some more kleenex.

Warm hugs,

Hi everyone! How are all of you tonite? It's been a busy, busy week! I had a full work schedule and then there were after funeral thank you cards that we have been trying to get written out. It just never stops. Hope you're all doing ok. It's good to be back.

Terri: So sorry to hear your construction project is going so slowly. I'm sure it is soooo frustrating. You've got to hang in there tho' you really don't have a choice. :(

2ofMe: I guess I missed that you were from Michigan. Whereabouts?? I'm from Sterling Heights a northeastern suburb of Detroit.

Tracy: Sorry about the cold. YUCK! Don't ya just hate that???? Hope you feel better real soon.

Maggie: Sounds like you have some great outings. Is the weather crazy in TN like it is here? Gosh the last couple of days have been weird. Sunshine, freezing rain, ice, regular rain. Heck it's been 3 seasons in 3 days here!

Guess I'll let you all go. I've been trying to keep mom somewhat busy now that she doesn't do the lunch thing at the nursing home anymore. Tomorrow I have a lunch and theatre job and I'm taking her with me. Should be a nice day. She's really doing ok. We really lost dad several years ago as his dementia took over more and more. Thanks again for all your thoughts and prayers.

Love to all,

Good morning ladies,

Well it was 60 degrees here yesterday and today we have snow and ice. What a rude wake up.

I've been doing okay OP this week in spite of pre-TOM bloat and weight gain. That too shall pass! I have been getting back into exercise and it has helped my stress level and mental outlook.

Did you all see the two shows Dr. Phil did on being overweight? He certainly makes you think. I've been thinking about why I started overeating as a child. He talks about the payoff we get from it. That one I'm having a hard time with because I'm not sure what my payoff is now. I understand what it was years ago but not now. I guess its easier and more secure to be lazy and hang onto the habits developed out of self-preservation back then than it is to change.
That requires more thought. But I did write down my goals and strategies for the long haul.

Geri - Good to see you back and doing good.

Maggie - What a glorious feeling control can be. Good for you!

Tina - So sorry about the cold crap. I had that over the holidays for more than a month. And I'm not sure why but I didn't want anything healthy like a salad. Just make sure you're getting enough fluids and what your body needs to fight the bug.

Everyone have a great OP day and be strong!

Hi Everyone,

My first week back on WW went well. I lost 10.5 lbs and hope to keep the momentum going. My weightloss the first week is always in double digits, if I stay OP that is. Hopefully, at the end I can say that I've had a triple digit weightloss. Hope you all are doing OK. I know that some of you are going through some pretty bad times, but you just got to keep plugging away. Its so easy to get off program when things get tough, but if we manage to stay OP we'll feel so much better about ourselves and that might actually help us make it through. Boy, that pretty deep for Friday morning. Hope you all have a great weekend.

GOOD MORNING Countdowners

It is Friendly Fat-Free Friday. Come on ya'll make this your very special day.

TINA that is not a fun thing to have going on in your head with that sinus thing. You will get on that tread mill and track today and feel so much better. That will be a good start and then you can do it again and again and then be so glad that today you did it. Months from now you can look back to this Friday in February and smile.

THIN The weather.... right now it is 58 degrees as I type and my little "Weather Bug" program has alerted me that this afternoon brings with it wind. The snow is gone and there was no frost on the ground this morning. Really makes me think Spring is very near.

TERII am going to be in control again this evening. We have a "finger food" function every Friday evening and for this one I am making rolls with meatballs inside. I will only eat things that I can put a point value to. CONTROL yep that is what it is about.

MAX CONGRATULATIONS on that wonderful loss 10.5! That is a motivator for sure. For sure you will make it to the triple didget losers circle.

Be OP this day!

HELLO EVERYONE :)

I've had a very good week, OP if I could only get moving on that exercise thing. :eek:

My body is being very weird these days, in the last 4 weeks I've been up .5, up 3, down 10.5 and this week up 2.5 :confused:
If only I could have a steady 2 pounds a week. OH WELL, I'm stil down 76 getting close to that triple digits mark, can hardly wait.

Way to go Max on the great start.
Tina - Good to hear your back into somewhat of a routine.

Tracy - hope your starting to feel better, hang in there.

Terri - I heard about Dr. Phil so I checked it out on the internet. Really does make you think and I guess that is a big part of making us successful for life.


Maggie - way to go, I don't think I could have been that strong at a buffet. Keep up the good work.

Well have to get back to work, take care everyone and have a wonderful OP weekend...

Magge & Canadian, thanks for your kind words. I do feel better today, the scale indicates that I actually lost a pound (I can't imagine WHY), and getting on the treadmill really did feel good. I didn't do as much as usual, but worked up a bit of a sweat and felt glad I made the effort.

The weather here in Ohio is bizarre..warm and raining now, windy and much colder forecast for this evening. No wonder there are so many germs plaguing us.

I hope everyone has a positive weekend...see you Monday!

Hugs,

Hi Everybody,
It's been a busy week for me, I've stopped in here many times to catch up on everyone but just have not taken the time to reply. It was good still keeping up with everyone and whats going on.
Like everyone else, our weather has been weird too, nice but weird. Near 60 yesterday, 50 this morning, 30 this evening, now it's cold, windy, and snowing again, and it's suppose to be 18 tomorrow. Our yard now looks like we have a big lake because so much snow melted so quickly. The dog thinks it's cool, of course, but he doesn't like the towel that I take to him before he can come back in the house, talk about mud...whew.
I'm doing ok, lost 1/4 lb. this week, I stayed OP all week, so I was still happy with that, it's better than going the other way, which I'm sure will also happen at times.

--Maggie--Congratulation on having that "control", doesn't that feel so good when you did what you set out to do. Were really proud of you. Each small step like that makes you stronger, and gives you more tools to accomplish your goals. Good job...

--Tina--You can get back on track dear, the only way you can fail is if you just give up, and it certainly doesn't sound like thats in your vocabulary. Make tomorrow your first day to begin doing better, don't expect perfection from yourself, go for improvement, and staying OP for tomorrow and the rest will follow. You can do it!

--Max--10.5 lb. loss, WOW...Good job, keep up the good work. Isn't it strange how our bodies can fluctuate so much, must be one of those wonderful blessings that comes with being a woman, ha.

I'll get on here a little more this week, it should not be such a busy week for me.

It's the week-end, for many of us our hardest time. We just need to keep plugging away "little by little, inch by inch" and WE WILL GET THERE, and aren't we going to look "Fine" when we get there. Watch out world, theres some really gorgeous women coming!

Take care, talk to you all soon.

What a lovely day I have had today. More Spring like weather, however, the weather report is that we are to have some sleet, rain and snow tonight and in the morning. Oh well, Winter isn't over yet but I was happy to have that nice "Spring Break."

I had another OP day today and will be surprised if I don't show a loss at tomorrows weigh in.....

MACY A wet dog is never welcome. Nope not in our house. CJ loves the water and gets a toweling quite regularly. Cowboy bathes her at least once a week. Big dog to handle and they both get a lot of water on them. CONGRATULATIONS on that quarter of a pound you lost. Girlfriend think of it as a cube of butter.

BRENDA I am so very proud of your total loss of 76 ~ that shows that you can really do it. Your fluctuating numbers are going in the right direction! You are going to reach those triple didgets by and by. You are an inspiration to me for sure.

All of you wonderful folks sleep well. Anyone want to join me in a nice cup of Hazelnut coffee in the morning?

Happy Monday

Hope everyone had a great weekend. I did, was very busy but I still didn't get out for that walk. Stayed on program all weekend but had trouble getting the water in. Looking forward to tomorrow night weigh in, hope to hit that 350 mark.... (fingers crossed)

Maggie, thanks for the kind words, if I'm inspiring you now just can't imagine what will happen when all 250lbs are gone :p Good luck at your weigh in today, but I bet you don't need luck...

Macy, hey 1/4 lb is great, its the right direction and your doing all the right things... keep it up. As for the weather, just think we will be complaining about the heat before we know it!

Tina, way to work out there girlfriend.

To everyone else lurking, have a great day and come on in for a chat.

Have a good one.

Brenda

Hi everyone! It was a tough weekend. Well, week, actually. My best friend's son went through a 4th brain surgery on Wednesday and then I guess I just threw myself a pity party or something 'cuz I bought cookies and ate and ate and ate. Of course today, up 3# later, I really hate myself! :mad: My question of the last few days is 'What are you thinking???' Today didn't go much better after WI so I guess I'm here to purge my soul and get on with my journey. Love to you all.

"Nobody grows old by merely living a number of years. People grow old by deserting their ideals. Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up wrinkles the soul." - Douglas MacArthur

thinthinker: I know you're angry, as I would be, but take the advice that I never take myself :rolleyes: , don't be too hard on yourself. You were under stress with the surgery of your friend's child. I doubt that you are the type of person that would say, "Gee, too bad" and move on with your life while all that is going on. Questions like, why and how, and what could have been done to "deserve" this, and thanking our own lucky stars. They are emotions and you know how those can affect eating. And emotional eating is the one issue that comes up over and over. I read how some "have it all together" and seem to know how their mind works and how their deep, dark past shapes them, I still don't "get it". And I don't "get" how over eating around stressful times can make us (me) feel so much more comforted as opposed to ANYTHING else. Is it a learned behavior from childhood? Is it something else? I don't know. If I did, I'd tell you. But, I'm here to say, you aren't alone and stick with it. Jump right back on program. I know it's hard.

GOOD AFTERNOON Countdowners

GERI I second what 2ofMe said. Girlfriend we are all in a learning process and we are learning how to deal in different types of situations. Sometimes our coping skills aren't very sharp and we succumb to the cookie monster. So sorry about your friends child.

Well here I am wondering why! I showed a gain of .4 this weigh in. I'm OK with it but also don't like it for I do know I had a good week and my system doesn't always let go of the pounds when I think it should. I would love to be one of those people that consistanly looses 1 to 2 pounds a week but also realize that I am not that way at this point in my weight loss career. Perhaps that will come when I am further down the road. How nice that would be. Those of you who are that way I congratulate you for your system operating that way for you. So now my friends I am preparing to have another OP week and put this week to rest.

Catch ya'all later.

Hello everyone..I'm Back!! For all of you who don't know me or don't remember me my name is Angie and I am 24. I am married to a wonderful man and we have a 2 year old daughter together named Hannah! I am also a full-time college student hoping to graduate at the end of the fall quarter! I was here before but lost motivation and had every excuse to quit. But I am back. I am sick of being overweight and it's time to work at it! Tonight was my first meeting at our local Weight Watchers and everyone was very sweet! I am extremely excited to get started! One of my ultimate goals right now is to lose some weight so me and my husband can give my daughter a sibling. I don't want to carry a child at this weight and I know that for my health I must lose some before trying. Thanks for listening! For all of you who don't know me please reply with a little about yourself so I can get to know you!

I had an OP day yesterday with points to go to bed with and plan on anohter today.

Hey everyone! :)

I'm back from vacation. I had a great time seeing my best friend from college. She's prego, and due in about 7 weeks! We worked on the nursery and had a great time!!! :)

Now I have a tremendous head cold now!! I'm soo miserable. The only bad thing about visiting is my eating went out the window, so to speak! I was up 1 1/2 lbs, but today was back down again to where I was the morning I left, so that's a relief! I can't believe how hard it is to get back on track after eating so poorly for 2-3 days!

Just wanted to stop in and say Hi to everyone!

Welcome to you Angie! I'm 25, single, and on the final road to losing weight! It's a long one, and a curving one, but it does end where I want it to! :)

Max - Congrats on the wonderful first week loss! Keep up the great work!

Geri - Don't worry about those cookies! Those 3 lbs will be off before you know it! :)

Brenda - I know you'll make that 350 mark soon!! :) Keep up the hard work, you're doing great!!

Maggie - sounds like you are keeping on program! You're body will move (down) soon! My body does this too, and I just want to kick and scream at it ---- alas, that doesn't work though!! :)

Hope everyone else is doing well --- talk to you soon! :)

OP Since 10/30/00

Hi everybody! Happy, happy heart day!!! Had a full day today. Mom and I had lunch with my foster sister. She fixed all homemade Chineese. She's a pretty good cook. :) Then I came home, tried to clear off at least one horizontal surface so I could have a nice dinner and invite my mom over. Today would have been their 59th anniversary so I wanted to keep them busy.

I made the parmesaen chicken recipe that WW was giving out this week. It was pretty good. Then I made a really good 'cheesecakie' dessert and my 'famous' 1pt. fruit pie. All in all it was a good dinner. I put on a tablecloth, used cupid confetti, had a three-wick candle that I tied a pretty bow on. It looked pretty good.

Hubby must have figured I had had enough chocolate of late since all I got for Valentine's day was a beautiful card. So far he's batting a thousand. For my birthday he gave me a ring box with a note in it 'let's go shopping'. So far we haven't. Am I petty, or what????

Maggie: Sorry about the gain. Sometimes, I know I should have lost and don't and it's so frustrating. Just stick to it, it's so easy to give up when we're frustrated.

Angie: Wow, good to have you back, girlfriend. There's a few of us 'old girls' still here, but we've added a bunch of new friends too. Glad you're back!!!

2ofMe: I think alot of it is leftover learning from our childhoods. You fall and bump your knee, here honey, have a cookie. You have a bad day at school, here sweetie have some ice cream. It's your birthday, time for cake and ice cream. Let's do lunch, let's do dinner, let's go have a drink. It doesn't stop. Our world's revolve around eating for comfort and celebration.

Tracy: Glad you had a nice vacation. It's nice re-connecting with old friends. Sorry about the head cold. Tis the season. It was raining and cold here today. Perfect weather for the chills.

Well, guess I'll let you go. Hope you all had a wonderful day.

Thanks for the warm welcome back..so far so good..these last two days have been great. I have really been pounding down the water! I feel like I am going to float away and I spend most of my time in the bathroom but it's nice to feel like I am doing something good for myself.
It's great to hear from all of you! I truly missed all of you!!!
Thanks for welcoming me back!

Good Morning

Well I was down 1 pound at WI this week, sort of disappointed I didn't lose the 2.5 I gained but it's ok. The way my body works I figure I'll have a large loss again in the next week or two. People are really starting to notice and ask questions. It's kind of nice but I don't want to get hung up on that.

I do have a question and would love to know how anyone else has dealt with this problem. I've been at WW for almost 6 months and my leader is starting to do repeat meetings. Now, she is very good and makes each meeting very interesting but I'm concerned that at some point the meetings will be less motivating and although this is not an issue now, I know it might get to be. Any suggestions or comments would be appreciated.

Hi Angie, it's nice to meet you. Sounds like your back on track, keep up the good work

Geri, your mom must be very proud to have a daughter like you. Glad to hear that your keeping you and your mom busy.

Tracy, sounds like you had a wonderful time, don't worry about getting back on track you'll be fine and shedding more pounds before you know it.

Maggie, that last quote is so very true and it was a great reminder of how it's really up to each and everyone of us to make a difference for ourselves.

Well have to get to work, have a great OP day everyone.

Good morning, everyone! Figured I would try to get on this morning before I go to work. I have a mobile home community evaluation at noon. Hubby and I have a hotel to do on Saturday nite. Woohoo! A nite away with my honey. Maybe we'll spend the better part of the day together. Well, maybe not! He leaves for South Carolina Monday and will be gone all week. I'll have to see what kind of trouble I can get into while he's gone. I like to stay up late and get stuff done and then sleep half the day. I don't have too many jobs next week (for the moment anyway) so I should be able to indulge myself.

Angie: Sounds like you're doing GREAT! Good job getting back with it. Glad you're back here too.

Brenda: Can't help you with the repeat meeting thing. I've been going since May of 1998 and sometimes the subject matter is similar in my meetings but I've not run into it being boring. BTW, I looked at your stats. You are sooo close to having lost 100#! That is really exciting. You've been doing so well. Don't beat yourself up about the small loss this week, it WAS a loss after all! :)

Ok, you guys. I have a question for you. DH and I are celebrating our 25th this year. At first we said we were going to take a cruise. Then I said something like it would be nice to at least look good, ok decent, in shorts before we cruise. So now we're looking for a city to visit. A couple of years ago we spent 3 days in Toronto, Canada and had a really great time doing the city tour, etc. Have any of you visited somewhere that has alot of stuff to see and do? I thought maybe San Francisco, or Boston. Anyway, if you have any ideas, please share.

I'll talk to you soon. Love to all.

Geri - I LOVE, I mean LOVE San Francisco! It is soo much fun.

There are so many things to do on the Fisherman's Wharf and the Boardwalks. There's Ghiradelli's Square, and riding the Trolley's. The Trolley takes you to the huge mall if you ride it all the way!

Then there is Alcatraz (which I haven't done before but will one day!). Like I think I mentioned before, besides my hometown of Seattle, San Francisco is my favorite city, and I LOVE it! :)

Hi Everyone,

Hope you are all doing well. I weighed in today with a 3 lb. gain. I'm actually feeling pretty good about that because I know that I had a tough week and 3 lbs. is not a big deal. And the other reason is that I stayed under to 300 lb. mark, barely. Hope you all have a good weekend!!

Hi everybody! Just taking a moment before DH and I go off for our romantic evening at the hotel. I bought a sexy little (ok, big) nightie yesterday. 1/2 off 'cuz it's red for
Valentine's Day. Gosh I love bargains. I bought a package of those rhinestone stick-on tatooie things. I packed some candles and some sparkling juice and wine
glasses. I also booked the 'deluxe' suite that has a fireplace in the living room and
we're good to go! ;)

Tracy: Thanks for the info on San Francisco. The verdict's not in yet so we'll see where we really go.

Angie: Gosh, I can't say it enough, it's good to have you back. How's the rest of the family doing?

Max: I was up 3# this week too. Just can't get it back together. I'm taking tonite off too and then I'll start anew tomorrow. Monday's WI won't be pretty either but oh well.

Well you guys, I'm gonna get out of here and devote some time to my marriage. You all behave, 'cuz I'm not going too! http://www.3fatchicks.com/ubb//lol.gif Talk to ya all later.

Hey, where is everyone???
Well, I survived the big night out. It was nice to get away. With 2 teenagers/adults in the house, privacy is not one of our strong suits! We found out the room had a VCR so we went to the video store and got a couple of movies, stopped at the deli and got a couple of subs and just cuddled on the couch in front of the fireplace. Nice evening.

I hope you all are out enjoying a really nice weekend since you're not in here to talk to me. It's really cold here, but the sun is shining beautifully. Take care and enjoy your day.

Good Morning

Had a great weekend. Dancing Friday and Saturday night, feeling like a dropped a large amount of weight again, I'll find out tomorrow. It was my 234d anniversary on Sunday, hubby gave me some roses and had a song dedicated to us on Saturday night. Watched the Daytona 500 yesterday and had too many pieces of pizza (DARN) and was very sad to learn that Dale Ernhart died in that crash. Well enough rambling.... Hope everyone is doing well, it's been quiet in here.

Geri - sounds like a wonderful weekend. You deserve it gal.

Take care folks
Brenda

Hello everyone..Happy Monday! Tonight is Weigh In for me and I am extremely nervous!! I know there will be a loss but I am not sure how much! I haven't started exercising yet but that will start this week. I have however been drinking tons of water and it is around my TOM so I hope it helps. I had a pretty good weekend. We even played volleyball on Sunday which was fun! We play in a league and it will start the beginning of March, which will be some good exercise!

Sounds like you guys had a great weekend! Congratulations on your anniversary!

Geri- You asked about my family. Well...my daughter is getting really big. She is two years old now and full of life! She keeps me going all day! My hubby and me are doing just fine infact he is thinking of starting on the ww program with me (although he doesn't have much to lose!)
My father-in-law has been sick for around 6 years with emphazema (i might have spelled that wrong) and the middle of January he was hospitalized and we thought we were going to lose him. He is home now but not sure how long we have with him. Hopefully awhile. He has an external ventilator which he uses at night and he is on tons of medication and he is on oxygen all day long. So please keep him in your thoughts and prayers.
I am currently in college for all of you who don't know me. After this quarter is over I will have 6 classes left. So by the end of November I should be done!! Yea!!!

Well speaking of class, I should get off of here and get ready. I will post tonight after my weigh in to let you know the results! Talk to you later!

Angie http://www.3fatchicks.com/ubb//spinning.gif

Good morning everyone! How are all of you? My DH left for South Carolina this morning. Gone for a week, Woohoo!!! I can get into all kinds of trouble while he's gone! Not that I really enjoy sleeping alone but I can stay up all nite and sleep all day. I am more nocturnal than he is so here's my chance.

Well, I WI on Monday, and I'd like to just post it and get over it and start again since it's Monday. So here it is. I was a bad girl again this week and am up 1#. :( I really thought I was badder than just 1# so this really is a good thing.

Brenda: Happy Anniversary! Sounds like you had alot of fun to celebrate! Dancing sure works off alot of calories, you probably did drop alot of weight again this week.

Angie: Thanks for the update on your family. It had been so long since we talked. I'm glad everything is going so well. Sorry about your FIL. Emphasema is a terrible disease. My uncle had that and COPD, another lung disease and was on oxigen for about 8 years before we lost him. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Well, guess I'll go get something done. My kitty is begging at my elbow for treats. He won't leave me alone. Love to all.

Geri - Glad you're weekend was nice, sounds like you and hubby had a great night out! :)

Max - Don't worry about those 3 lbs, your body will adjust again soon!

To everyone else --- Hi, and hope all is well! :)

GOOD AFTERNOON Countdowners

My weigh in report: I showed a .2 loss this day at WW. That is 2 tenths of a pound. Yep. Going in the right direction.

I just have to get here more often. I read what you said and didn't take notes so here ~ cogratulations to the loosers and to those not so fortunate ~ well I have been there and know the feelings of dissappointment. But do go on and never quit.

Always remember to smile and breathe. Brethe folks, don't forget to breathe.
