I know Huntersmommy - that's why I need to get back here instead of avoiding it. This is my mini-meeting.

I am going to face the new month as a new start before it gets out of hand.

[huntersmommy]

yeah you girls are my mini meetings to. right now i'm not going to meetings but, i've came off of weight watchers in january when i found out i was pg after losing 124 pounds . coming here helps me stay honest you girls are a wonderful wonderful support system . i know when i was going to the meetings there were 3 ladies that would do the weigh in each meeting and ugggh nothing is more intimadating than steppin on the scale in front of them ahving them tell you that you either lost or gained if you lost you were praised if you gained they would say well you gained but, they were supportive. it took me 2 years to lose that 124 pounds but, i wasnt always on track with my eating there was some obstacles but, all that hard work is so worth it. and with out you girls i couldnt have made it that far.

so everyone lean on one another when you feel like cheating or you've fallen off the wagon had a bad day come here we are here to support not judge anyone we are in this together

we are on our way to being healthy even more beautiful women and we are doing it one day at a time and for now with the wonderful holiday season upon us one holiday at a time..

Hi Ladies omg I am such a jerk. I fell off like no other. I am soooo glad this trick or treat thing is over...... I felt like crap yes... Thank god I exercised and have been but I need to refocused and kick my butt back into gear. I am so mad ar myself Oh well a few days lost now to regain and kikc butt. I am so happy I have a place to check in. I think in the back of my mind I am thinking the doc told me I can not lose weight untilk my levels are normal for my thyroid and I may be using that as an excuse........ I want to start just to train my way of eating. Really I want to eat healthy just to get this garbage oyt of my system.

I am soo glad you all are doing well.

Hey ladies~ doing good here......staying OP, drinking tons of water & am heading to the gym in about 30 minutes. All in all, feeling good about things. In fact it's that TOM & I feel great, which is very unusual for me. I tend to tackle small tasks at once....since I've been doing great sticking to the program & have been rountinely working out & drinking H2O, this weeks task is MILK. Rather than *hoping* i was getting enough dairy in everyday, I have committed that for 2 weeks I will drinks 24oz of FF milk each day & see how things go. So far so good.......let's hope all the claims of how good it is for you are right. Did I mention I don't really care for milk.....oh well!

huntersmommy~ the walking videos...do you just walk in place or on a treadmill??? I've seen them in the store but have no idea what they are about.

djmommy~ Don't beat yourself up. Just get back up & put it behind you!! We're here for you. I too have a thyroid problem, but I am gonna just press on.....even if I only ever lose 10lbs then atleast I am 10lbs ahead, KWIM.

[huntersmommy]

the walking videos she moves you around you do side steps and kick backs and knee lifts and kicks and mover your arms walk forward and backwards and you have the option of using weights or not using them they are tons of fun especially with the weather turning colder)

Today is going well so far. I did have a little bit of a goof, but that will all work out. I grabbed a biscuit from McD's not knowing it was 6 pts. Yowsers. So far I've had 10 pts this morning.

I'm trying to get use to not having so many points. I was able to have 32 pts when I was nursing and now I'm down to 22. Having a bit of a hard time with that.

[stacynak]

huntersmommy~ that sounds great. I might have to check them out...you are right about the cold. It is 12degrees here right now & it only the beginning of Nov. Warm days for us are a full 6 months away It's funny as soon as the first snow flies, my gym usage jumps by 300%.

Dori~ I hear ya about the BF points....granted it's been almost 4 years since I weaned my son, but I rmeber all to clearly that day....the day I lost 10 points. It just about killed me. Actually I ended up quitting out of frustraion & now I am back with a vengenace....determined to lose the 50 extra lbs I've been carrying around all of this time. I wish I had just stuck with it then & gotten rid of this weight 4 year sago, KWIM...anyway, enough babbling....you can do it & we are here to support you!

[707Goddess]

I weigh'd in today and nothing no loss no gain im better now i was pretty pissed this morning (thanks nibs for the encouragment ) also i really need to step it up i really really really want to be 169 by nov 30th
wish me luck and kick me in the butt when ever you see me

[Rosegarden]

Oooohhh 707goddess - I love your ticker!!! So pretty!

I'm back. Our internet connection was cut at work yesterday and today the boss worked me hard. Two full days of hard work and no play. Whew - let's hope next week is better.

I did my WI and I still lost 1/2 lb. Now I won't get to my T'day goal at 1/2 lb increments but I have a great mind set to get back into the game and make this work.

I'll be around this weekend. Have to do a grocery shop and get stuff back into the cupboards and make some meals but I'll have it under control by Sunday.

See ya around this weekend

[djmommy]

Hi everyone sounds like you are all doing well.

Michelle, Do not beat yourself up hey at least there was no gain WHHHH
Hoooo.

Everyone else thanks for the encoraging words my biggest problem is I am NOt RECORDING. That is the hardest thing in the world for me. I will do it tom. Did any one watch oprah Yes? There was a Doc. Oz on , It was so interesting about food , exercise Etc... I bought the book today. Hoping that will motivate me.Did not get to much exercise in However I did clean and scrub like crazy today. I also went to the movies and I sneaked in some popcorn amini bag... Ye haw I was so happy and I drank water..... Came home had a banana and we still did not have dinner. They want soup so that is great. Hopefully it is a low cal day. I guess If I would record I would know.....

Anyway I am so glad you are all doing welll.




Huntersmommy keep up the good work I know you will rub off on me again.. I feel bad if you arre doing this at home with 2 little ones I for sure can do this. Maybe I will do tae bo in the morning... .

Chat to you all tom...

[djmommy]

Rose garden Congradulations.... I need to do the same .Get the cupboards stocks and get some food recipes...... Anyone have any good soup recipes???

[boaterswife]

First weigh in today for me for the Thanksgiving challenge...down 2.8 pounds. If I continue as I am I will hit my 10% for WW at my weigh in next Saturday...woo hoo!! I know it seems like a little thing, but since I started WW at home for a couple weeks before I went to a meeting, my 10% for them started with my first meeting, and I had already lost 14 pounds by then! So my WW 10% is actually like 15%.....who would've ever thought I'd want that darn key chain so badly?!

[CarebearsChris]

Congrats on the loss, Kelly. Isn't it funny how we want those prize thingies? I am doing this all on my own with any of the means WW has out there. I am fast approaching my first 10% and wish there was a prize for it. Hubby said well why don't you break down and have that cheeseburger you have been craving. NO THANKS. I don't want to have to loss the same pounds again.
