omg! Lauren, that weight is pouring off you. Weigh to go! : You are so inspiring to me because you've had so many social occasions and company and you kept on track like a good, very good, tortoise. I'm here to cheer you on when you hit onederland and I know you'll do the same for me: goal is onederland by December 20th! I can do this!
Hi turtles - nice weekend up here. Lots of sunshine, which was nice for a change.
I decided to start this calorie counting thing a week early - I am starting their meetings next week & am already confused. From what I read, I should be having 1800 cal/day & on ww I was having approx 1300. Do you think maybe we are not eating enough on ww to lose lots of weight? Any comments would be helpful. Also I am going to start with having 1600 cal/day & see how that goes.
Morning all and happy Wednesday! I did go to W/I on Saturday and was down .8 so I will take it. I have been taking walks each night as we need to get all the dogs exercised... LOL.
Bandit: I think I eat about 1600 calories a day anyway... LOL. But I know what you are saying, I don't know the answer to it though. I know the closer you get to goal the harder it is lose weight... ugh!
I have to run but will check back on my lunch break.
Nessa - that probably is the answer, the "free" things still have calories, so if you actually included them the calorie allotment would be greater.
Makes sense.
So far staying on track, but tonight my gf comes & we have wine which I will be counting - so that will put my calories up for sure.
Hi Guys,
I was trying to figure out an answer to Bandit's question and I think you're all right! It would be interesting to track calories for a bit to see what I'm actually taking in.
Princess, weigh to go! : and It's great to see the scale heading in the right direction.
I'm heading to WI right now, but I'll check in later.

Hi Turtles,
I'm not quite as enthusiastic as when I left for the meeting. I was up .6# this week and I made a lot of good choices. I do feel I am coming into my weight loss time of the year and I'm bound and determined to do this!!!!
New recipe:
WW cheesecake
2cups ff sour cream
vanilla instant sf ff pudding
Mix them together and chill. If you make it into 8 small servings, they are 1point each. You can adapt the size of the serving and this is also Core.
I just made it to see if it's any good and it is! vEry rich. Someone in the group added some lemon zest and poured it into a reduced fat graham cracker crust.--nice idea.
Okay I gotta run. You all take care and be well and drink your water.
Love, Judy

oh i make something like that but instead of the ff sour cream I use low-fat riciotta and mix well with a hand mixer... also i use cheesecake pudding or white chocolate pudding.... have no idea what the points would be with ricotta over ff sour cream...
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.
Nessa, weigh to go! : That is fabulous! You really got down to business.
Bandit, I'm looking forward to a : 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.

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.
