Hey guys, lost a pound this week. I was a little bit upset at first because I had 9 days in between weigh ins and only lost a pound. But, I started thinking about it and there were a lot of variables. School started back for me this week....(I'm finally a senior...I'll have my Bachelor's in Nursing in May!!) Anywho...haha Anyway, I'm allowed 28 points and I didn't eat all of them everyday. I've been eating less since school started due to time constraints. So I think my body put the brakes on energy burn. lol Anyway, a pound is a pound, and it wasn't a gain....so I'm gonna take it and run. haha Congrats to all!!!!

Hi everyone! Caroline and SpecialK, once again...... That is so awesome ladies! I wish I could report the same here, but it's not gonna happen. At least not this week! No loss to report, but hey, no gain either, so I'll take it!

Rough weekend for me! Yes, I'm going to vent so thank you in advance for listening!!!!! First of all. . . . Jessica turned 18 Sunday and that was just really difficult for me to stomach! I actually cried and cried. I went to the Hallmark Store and it was down hill from there. (Card shopping.....) Then, this morning was the first day of school for my daughters. I cry every single year!!! It doesn't get easier as they get older, I think it gets harder because you feel like time is just flying by. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I don't want my babies to grow up!!! Jess, not only was 18 this w/e but has a new (first) boyfriend, a new car and is a Senior in High School! Ahhhhhhh! What next? Don't answer that girls. (lol.......just incase you're thinking....."it could be worse, you could be a grandma")
Well, enough about me!

Have a great night and talk with you soon!

Well hello girls...........Am I missing something here or did you guys go to a new thread???????

Hope everyone is ok!!!!!!!

Hi MeRam2,

Yes it has been much much too quiet. Dora started a new thread, but none of us joined in, it was a whole new group. I think it's just you and me on this one. I too have worried about everyone, it seems like after the katrina disaster, no one chatted much. I hope everone is doing ok.

How has your weight loss journey been going?

I have had a few minor losses, I am now at 65.something. I am finding I am giving in to my munchies lately. I do eat 94% fat free popcorn, however I eat the whole bag. I have been eating the 100 calorie packs, but one bag too many, One cocktail too many...I am beginning to see that I am eating too many carbs, and as a result craving more carbs. I need to nip this in the bud NOW or I will begin to fail.

My sister-in-law has said it so well. Failing is not an option for us. (she is also doing ww). I may have small set-backs, but I will continue, and I will succeed.

Hope to hear from you all soon, I miss our support circle.

Take good care all.

Caroline

Hi Caroline!!! Wow, you are doing so good! 60 + pounds!!!! You must feel like a new person!! I am doing pretty good! I have only had 1# loss WI's the last couple of weeks.............but that is ok! I'm down to 219#!!! Under 220 finally!!!
What new thread did Dora start? I went to a different one and started posting after it got sooooo quiet here! I did go to a WW meeting last friday. I had a free post card for a free meeting/free registration so I went. I was pretty excited - the leader seems to be a really good speaker. I see you eat the 100 cl. packs of popcorn. Me too!! But, I did buy the ww cheese twist thingies! MMmmm! I thought they were very very good. Speaking of 100 cl. packs, do you treat yourself to the nabisco brand ones? Like the chips ahoy, peanut butter cookie, ritz mix???? I do. I really like those too! 2 Pt. snacks. Gotta love that!
Well, have a good day and I'll keep checking back to see you!

Hi Jeanne,

Wow, under 219!!! That is sooo awesome. I can't wait until I get there. I sure do wish I would have started this much sooner!!!!

Well, it does no good to think about could have and should have's.......

I am setting a goal of trying to hit 75 by our 17th wedding anniversary on October 15. I seem to do well by setting myself mini-goals. Even if i don't totally get there, it gives me something attainable to reach for. Looking at the big picture is too overwhelming for me.

My weigh in is tonight, I hope to post a loss, I will let you know.

What post are you on now? Is it supportive?

Hi,

Just a quick note, I posted a loss....I lost 2.6, I am now at 67.8...7.2 more to go until I reach my short term goal of 75# loss...I really need to stay focused to make this goal by October 15.

Hope you are doing well,

Take good care,

Caroline

You are doing awesome!!!!!!!!!!! Good job!!!! I have about 39 or 40 pounds to go to reach my goal. I have been doing mini goals of about 10#. I am so happpppppy for you! 7.2# by your anniversary.....Oct. 15......you will do it!

I don't know if I had mentioned this before or not........but you know how I work in a "candy" store..............well, I had been having nightmares - and my husband challenged me to go without any chocolate this one day (NONE, ZERO, ZIP) so I took him up on it......and guess what, I didn't have any nightmares that night! His logic was that the candy/chocolate had something to do with the nightmares?! What do you make of that?!?!?!? So, my point, I am trying to focus on this angle of chocolate craving/eating and it is kinda helping me! Weird, hunh? Well enough rambling - I'm going to check out ebay!!!! I love it!!!
Talk to you soon. My official WI is going to be friday now. I feel really positive about this weeks WI! So, keep your fingers crossed for me! I did join WW even though it is pricey!

Hi everyone,

I miss all of you, wish it would liven up in here again.

Monday is weigh in day, and I have now lost 74.8 Lbs. ...Only .2 away from my short term goal of 75 lbs by our wedding anniversary. I have until the 15th of the month to loose .2. wooo hoo, I think I am going to make it. .

Hope you are all doing well.

Take good care,

Caroline

hi Caroline! Just wanted to check in and say hi and see how you are doing??!?!?!?! I haven't been posting anywhere........I read through the new posts but that is about it. I did catch up with Dora, but, nothing too new on her end either.
Talk to you soon and keep it up! Let me know if you are posting anywhere and I could possibly join in! Thanks.
