Morning all and Happy Tuesday! I was off line yesterday, DH and I went to opening day for the Reds in Cincinnati, it was a long trip and I used a ton of flex points, if not all of them but it was a pretty good time and I did not too badly over all. It rained! Oh Lord it rained! There was a one hour delay at the beginning of the game and it rained off and on through the first part of it but then in finally stopped, yeah! The Red's lost but it was still a fun day.

Judy: Best wishes for an awesome W/I for you! You deserve it! We don't have commercials around here for Zumba so I am not sure if it is the same or not but I will take it very easy and just see what I can do.

Have a great day all!

Princess, what fun to see an opening day of baseball. Sorry it rained but it still sounds like fun.

Yesterday I got my exercise in and then dh and I decided to have pizza for dinner. My activity points were all I needed to use beyond my daily allowance, so that worked out today. I'll have to drink plenty of water today to counteract the salt and be in good shape for tomorrow's WI.

Good luck to us all and remember Boot Camp! A new company opened here in NY called Boot CAmp. It's a fitness gym with walls to climb over, etc. I guess it's exercise based on what soldiers do in training.

Hey Beth and Liz and Chrily and Cherry, how are you guys doing?
Bandit, Princess, and I are here and looking forward to hearing from you.
Take care and be well. :bravo:

Hi everyone:

Rainy & foggy up here & warmer, but suppose to get colder again starting tomorrow so enjoying the warmer tempatures for now.

Judy - I also had pizza which I ordered on Sun & my dd came home yesterday so we finished it off last night. Was very tasty - but can't do that all the time. Good luck on your upcoming w/i & nice job on the excercisng.

Princess - sounds like you had a fun day, must really feel like warm weather coming with going to baseball. Get you in the mood for summer activities!

Hi to everyone else & to those MIA hope they are doing well.

I am trying to get myself back on track but have had a rough couple of weeks. My two little kids have had bronchitus and fevers and have been on antibiotics and then it comes back and i am ready to pull my hair out. Also to add insult to injury I started my TOM last night. Ugh!

Princess - yes definately take it easy with the excercise. We don't want you to be in pain.

Judy- Hoping your weigh in goes Great. You have been working hard to make this program work.

Beth, Liz, and Chrily - Share your good times and your struggles. I am low to but we can all support and encourgae one another.

Happy Wednesday Turtles! Cool here today but the sun is supposed to be out... yeah! Have not been to the gym yet this week other then on Saturday, hoping to get there today after work. Not much else is new really.

Cherry: I know it is hard to get back on track and even harder to stay on track... I have faith in you though... keep at it, it will happen.

Judy: Good luck at your W/I today! Let us know how you did.

Bandit:How are you doing so far this week? Any dinner plans with friends this week?

Chris: How are you doing? Feeling better I hope!

Beth and Liz and anyone else that I missed: Hope all is well with you, post when you can.

Have a happy day all!
Princess

Hi Princess - yes, my gf is coming for dinner tonight & we are making a
ham, cauliflower, cheese, pimentos casserole. Will let you know how it turns out & post recipe if we like it.

CHerry - hope your children are feeling better & that you get back on track.
It is tough but I have faith you can DO IT!!!

Judy - sending you "skinny vibes" for your w/i

Who are you hoping for in Biggest Loser?

Everyone else - take care

Cherry,
Hope you all are feeling better. It's not easy watching your weight during the time when the kids are small. I'm sending :goodvibes: to you. The effort is worth it. You can do this!

Bandit, casserole sounds yummy. Let us know how it turns out. Glad to get the good support for you for my WI. Thanks! :chef:

Princess, always good to hear from you. Good luck with the exercise and thanks for the support. :tread:

I did great. Yes, I actually did great. :bravo: I lost 3.4# this week after having gained 3.2# at my last WI (which was really two weeks--St. patty's Day party, days of vacation, and Easter). I kept telling myself this week that it didn't matter what I had done in the past. I kept telling myself that if I track points, get in the exercise and the water that I should be able to knock off a pound a week. To knock off this much this week is fabulous and it makes me want to keep up the good work.
By the way, I watched Biggest Loser last night for the first time this season. Those people are to be congratulated. Their workouts are amazing!

Here's a dip for people who love Buffalo Chicken Wings: WW style
1/2cupff sour cream
8oz.ff cream cheese
1 cup cooked chicken breast--chopped
1/2 cup Frank's Hot Sauce
Mix together and bake for 25minutes in 350 oven
Serve with celery sticks==whole dip is 21 points (I'll have to check that) but this makes quite a bit. I haven't made it yet, but it sounds delicious!

Okay, I'm so happy I could scream. :balloons:
This is the lowest I've been since September and I've lost a little over 8# since February. Go me!!!!!
Good luck and :goodvibes: to everyone. Keep up the Boot Camp! it works!
If you're having a hard time, chime in anyway because we're a good place to go for support.

Judy: Congrats! I am so very very happy for you! I have made that dip recipe, it is wonderful!

Bandit: I fell asleep about a half hour into the show last night but was on line this morning to see what happened... I get tired of all the crying that the brothers do so I hate to say it but I was kind of happy that one of them went... wicked of me, I know :devil:

Judy - OMG that is fabulous, for sure! I am so proud of you.
You are really doing great - keep it going, girl!!!

Princess - I know what you mean about the crying but I'd be crying to if I had to work out 6 hours/day - but I was wondering as well if they were on some kind of appetite suppresants since they are all so emotional.
Reminds me of years ago when I tried diet pills - would almost be hysterical if anyone said boo to me.

But I love the show overall & they haVe all done so well.

Have a good OP evening!

Morning all and Happy Thursday! Cold and dreary here today... Saturday is supposed to be nice though so I have my fingers crossed.

Judy: Again, fabulous job! You are doing so great!

Bandit: I know what you mean about the emotions and exercise that they do on the show, it has to be a strain. I love to watch it also, it really gives me something to look forward to!

All: Hope everyone is doing well!

Have a great day ladies!
Princess

Ohmigosh--I just lost a nice long post. Oh well--This is pretty much what I said. Bandit, I bet you're right about the Biggest Loser appetite suppresants and the emotionality. As far as a winner, I've only watched once--but I like the brunette haired girl. She has a real competitive spirit. :strong:

Princess, the weather here is getting better too. It's sunny and warmer and trees starting to bud. :dance:

Yesterday was good. My dd and grandson came out and she WI at WW and lost weight. She really has a crummy metabolism and a tiny frame--so losing weight is very hard for her. Glad she did so. We picked up Boston Market foods for dinner and it was delish.

All goes well here. Going to the Philharmonic Symphony tonight. My dd got tickets and we have such a good time when we go to NYC. I love it.

The weekend is approaching and we're out to dinner on Friday night with friends. I'll have to watch points very carefully, but I'm going to point out a dinner before I go.

You all take care and keep up the good work. :bravo: :cheer: to all the Turtles!

Judy - I am so proud of your hard work. I see that you are now down to 213.4. That is great. Keep up the hard work.

Princess and Bandit - Thanks for thinking of me. The kids are still sick and me to but hopefully we will all come out on the top.

Cherry, keep up your spirits. It's almost spring, you'll all get better, and you'll get through this. Keep on keepin' on!

Morning all and a very happy Friday to everyone... No major plans for the weekend for me other then W/I, not sure how that is going to go but I will hope for the best.

Anyone have any plans for the weekend?

I have to run but will check back in later on to see what is going on.

Princess

Hi all,
Yes, Princess, I have plans for the weekend. Tonight dh and another couple and I are going out to dinner. Then my ds and his children are coming in for a weekend visit. I am so excited. We should have a great time. I'm going to buy the ingredients for the Buffalo Chicken Dip because that seems like something we'd all like and it's something new for us. I better cut the recipe in half because there won't be that many of us.

Last night's performance at the NY Philharmonic was amazing. There was a guest pianist who was remarkable and then a symphony by a composer I knew nothing about--but it was stirring and fabulous and exciting. Lots of music all around. I'm so grateful that my dd has taken this year off to play with and raise her little guy. It's been wonderful for the both of them and it has also been a time for my dd and me to get into NYC and really enjoy what the city has to offer. Yesterday's points were good, but I've got to gear up for this weekend because family and me have added up to my splurging in the past and I don't want to do that!

Rainy here--but I hope your weather is better. You all take care, have a good weekend.

Princess, here's a :goodvibes: for a :goodscale:
