Morning, turtles:

Nessa - WOW - that is awesome. Any tips for the rest of us? I haven't had a loss like that since week #1 of ww. Good for you!

How's everyone else doing? Had dinner with my gf last night & we had big salad with grilled chicken & of course, wine. BUt everyone was counted and I had leftover calories, which was good.

This weekend will be challenging - Ribfest up here and it really is good.
Will have to eat extra light all day since I know calories will be really high.

Anyone watching Workout? Also I am looking forward to Biggest Loser.

My w/i is tomorrow - hoping I lost.

Nessa, weigh to go! :goodscale: That is fabulous! You really got down to business.

Bandit, I'm looking forward to a :goodscale: for you too. Also, The Biggest Loser will be fun to watch. Last season was my first time watching it and I found it inspiring.

Princess, have a great weekend. Wasn't Nessa's loss great?

Lauren, is this the week you're traveling? Chrily and Cherry and all the turtles---drink lots of water and stay OP.

Yesterday and today have been good OP days for me and I even got in some gardening yesterday.

Morning turtles:

Judy - good job for staying OP this week.

I was down 1.4# this week so that is a start in right direction. Hoping the ribs won't do too much damage for my next w/i. Also yesterday at work, they had ice-cream cake & I said no & they cut me small piece anyway. So, of course I ended up eating it. But counted it & had lighter dinner.

Hope everyone has a great weekend.

Howdy all!

Bandit: You go girl! I am very happy and very proud of you! You really are doing great!

Judy: Heck yeah Nessa's loss was fabulous! How are you doing lately? Hanging in there? Don't ever forget Judy... we can do this!

Nessa: Again, awesome job! Throw some hints our way when you get a chance.

In a hurry but will try and stop back over the weekend...

Have a happy day all!
Princess

the one thing i can say is

WEIGH and measure everything and go by weights

while a cup of onions has no points
3 oz is half a point.

Bandit!!! :goodscale: Isn't it great when you do the right thing and then get a weight loss? :woo: :bravo: Don't let the ribs worry you. Plan for them and count them in. You are doing it!

Princess, yeah, I'm hanging in. I had a weird thing happen in my breasts and needed an MRI and ultrasound even though my mammography was clear. The upshot is that I'm normal and the doc wants to see me twice a year for a check. It seems like over indulgent to me, but honestly it's probably a good idea. In the meantime I'm working on the real health threat which is being so overweight! I havae to get back to exercise--how many times have you heard that? It's been hot and muggy here and I pretty much gave up on exercise all summer long. Overall, my weight is up about 4 pounds since April--not the direction I wanted to go in, but you are right. I can do this! I have done this!! And I will do this!

Nessa, congrats again. :bravo: Please share tips!

Cherry and Lauren and Chrily, keep on keepin' on and let us have some suggestions to help us out.
Judy
Have a good weekend!
