Morning girls.

Hey...here's a great snack I just discovered. Get a whole wheat (high fibre) tortilla, some ff cream cheese, 1/2 tsp of cocoa powder, and a pkt of splenda. Spread it all around on the tortilla and then add cut up strawberries. Roll it up and you're in HEAVEN!!! OMG!!! This is soooo good, and very healthy too. I'm so clever sometimes!!!

Jennie.....Some of my quick breakfast ideas are.....

I poach some eggs every few days and just have them ready in the fridge for me to grab. So that being said.....

-toast a ww's english muffin, while that is toasting. Nuke the already cooked egg in the micro for 15 secs (just to warm it up) slap on a pc of low fat cheese slice and voila....a pseudo egg mcmuffin
-toast 2 99% ff special K waffles, and add 1/2 C ff cottage cheese and sliced strawberries. sprinkle with cinnamon. no need for syrup...honest!!
-chocolate cream cheese and strawberry rollup. takes 2 min to do.
-maple/brown sugar mini wheats, skim milk and nuke for 90 seconds....mmmm so delish!!
-2 pc whole wheat bread toasted, with a cheese slice between. for fun, add a small squirt of french's mustard. yum yum

Hope these help!!

Wow-
I haven't posted in so long! I've been so busy. I'm a college student, so it's that time right before the end of the semester where everyone is running around like crazy, finishing projects, writing papers, and studying for tests!
Last week it was TOM and I was crazily stuffing food in my face. I'm waiting until Monday to weigh myself, I'm doing much better now.
I saw a dietician yesterday through my school's health center, and she helped me get on track, too. I have high hopes for this upcoming Monday!
I'm off to the library to study, and work out afterwards.
Have a good Friday, ladies!

angel eyes that sounds so good

Hi girls. Im Alana Jo and I am a SAHM. I started back on WW about 2 weeks ago. I have about 65 or more lbs to loose. I would love to join you on this Christmas Challenge. I would like to loose 15lbs by Christmas. I have already lost 7lbs. Only about 8 more lbs to go to meet my mini goal.

Hey everyone! Well I am hating not being on here every day constant..have taken off a couple of days and then will start my new job on Monday. Have had a good couple past days. I have gotten to the gym the last 3 days in a row so that is a good step in the right direction! Feeling good about everything!

Sounds like you guys are doing just awesome! Thanks you guys for the support! I will try to be on here as much as possible and return the support! I have WI tomorrow so keep fingers crossed for me!

Keep it up ladies! WE CAN DO THIS!!

Hey it seems like some of you have picked up and moved away from family and all.I have too and for some reason today after 4months it is really hitting me hard. I have cried alot today. I miss my friends back home sooo much, it hurts.I am so happy to be with my family but I have not found my true bud.Did it take you long to get there? I get along great with the hubby it is just that I miss my friends , there is nothing like a true friend. Men just can not go there,friends understand you like noone else. any way just wondering if I am too emotional. Let me know how you all did this. I find it very hard,maybe it is the holidays. I do not know but For some reason it is really hitting me hard today.

Yesterday was a very difficult day at work! I thought Thursday had been bad, but Friday was even worse! I went out to dinner with DH and I at way to much. Today I'm back to being focused on my goals and what I really want.

Jennie- What does HB stand for? It's been driving me crazy that I can't figure it out!

well i'm so excited my grannie sent me 50.00 for christmas so we went out shopping a little bit last night i bought this really really cute peasant top it hasa square neck line and then it has a square neck line in the back its so pretty very comfy. the best thing it was a size L i got an xl and it was falling off my shoulders made me feel good then i found these great pants marked down to 9.99 I tried them on size 14 and they were to big i had taken a 12 back thinking to myself yeah right but, i want to see how close i am they fit perfect ij ust cant believe it i think the workouts are really making a huge difference. i mean i weigh what i did when I met my hubby and i was in very tight 16 at this weight and here i am in 12 holy smokes. the store I went to was New York & Company. this morning i got up and got in 15 minutes ofmy workout have to see what the rest of the day will bring we are going shopping after the mail comes waiting on a pkg from ohio. everyone have a great day and stay on plan

djmommy,
i tell ya i've been here in south carolina and there are still times it throws me for a bad loop being so far from home. I try to keep busy I do call home everyday i mean everyday and sometimes a few times in a day especially on weekends when its free with the cellphone well not free but, unlimited i only get home once a year if i am lucky my parents havent been down here in 2 years when i first moved here i tried to be so tough but, i wasnt i was a mess for bout the first year then it got sorta easier if you can say it gets easier just takes time find hobbies things to keep ya busy. the holidays i think are the worst there was one year that my mom sent me a video it might have been my first xmas away and all the family was there then they zoom in on a picture of me and my hubby and start talking bout how much they miss me and how they wish i was there and everyone was crying it was awful and they sent that to me but, ya know the videos i pull them out every once in a while and look at everybody and think bout things and how much i miss them but, this is the worst time of the year for missing them. so go ahead and cry and hurt but, dont feed the hurt exercise instead stay on plan look at pictures call home i know its hard my hubby has 8 years left in the airforce and in that 8 years who knows where we will end up but someday i will be a little bit closer to home. BIG HUGS

Hey Everyone!

The Holidays are hard when you are away from the ones you love. My Sister had a big falling out with the whole family earlier this year. Long Story!!!!, but as much as you are mad at someone you still love them. I started to realize the day after Thanksgiving, when I went shopping. That's been our thing for years to get up really early and go shopping together all day and then out to eat when were finished. So this year it was kinda sad to go bymyself. Im just greatful that she lets my Nephew come around still to see all of us.

Well, I was right about the 2lbs it was TOM and I did so bad yesterday! I dont know how many points I had because I had a Christmas Party to go to and it was buffett. I did stick to 1 plate, but had a cookie too. Now I have another Christmas Party to go to tonight. So Im just going to use my 2 free drinks for 2 bottles of Bud Light that way I know how many points are in it. I dont know what food they are going to have, but of course it's buffett again. It's a local Seafood place call Crab Trap. I have been snacking on 0 point veggies for lunch and didnt have time for breakfast since I overslept this morning so I should have plenty of points for tonight. I just dont know why I keep slipping... Sunday though is definately a new day. Im scared to weigh in on Monday

I'm keeping my calories really low today to counter balance yesterday! I've completed two workouts today as well.

The incident yesterday at work has left me feeling emotionally fragile. I hate this feeling, and I'm trying to do some self talk to keep myself strong. I've decided that the next three weeks are going to be about me getting as strong and lean as I physically can. I guess because I feel more in control of my physical self, than my emotional self right now.

Hey ladies...well I had a huge shock today at WI....-3.8 lbs...I was freaking out! I AM NOW IN ONDERLAND!!! I am so so excited!

Angie-Congrats on the clothes...and by the way New York and Co tends to run small so you go girl!

DJ'smommy-I have been here in Louisiana for about 10 months. We moved 12hrs away from my family. I am so homesick it isn't even funny. I have had a very hard time making friends here and it sucks. I am not sure why, but it seems like everyone here already has plenty of friends...I know it just takes time but it is hard in the meantime. If you ever need to talk let me know! I know exactly how you feel!! It is hard but we will make it through it!

Great things are on the way for all of us! KEEP IT UP!!

Just wanted to share a link with you guys...its a pic of me and DD:
