Hi Everyone :) Welcome to all the new members... I can't keep track! I hope you all get settled in comfortably here...we are all very supportive of one another. I'm still sort of sick but sooo much better than over the weekend. I'm thinking of quitting my job and going back to school fulltime to finish my MBA...I had a nice break from school this past 6 months or so but now I'd kind of like to finish up... I'm not all that sure about it tho. Anyways :) Just wanted to pop in and say hi. Hope you're all having a good day.

Hi everyone! Happy Tuesday! Welcome to all the newbies - Casey Marie, Tammie, Lola - come and post often, you'll find some wonderful people here!
Speaking of which ... Hey! to Ali, Tonya, Trish, Jen, Sarah, Shalyne, Heather, Kay, Julie, Kim, Brenda and Kirsty. Hope you're feeling better, Kirsty and Shalyne. I had a sick blokey at home all day yesterday so there's obviously something icky going round. Where's Emily? And Stacey? Hope you're not sick too, guys! Sarah -thinking of you at the moment. Sounds like your family are all pulling together, that must help so much. Anyway, this is only quick, just to let you all know I'm still alive. I had WI this morning and stayed the same, which is fine by me. I also went jogging this morning, first day of a program that might just get me running for half an hour in 6 weeks' time. My aim is to run a 5k - so half an hour is about right. I feel good now! Be good, and I'll try and pop back later, love Lolly xxx ------------------ 257SW- 214CW - 207 (2nd 10%) |
Hi there gang!
Went to WI last night -- up 1 lb. But that's okay... I think I mentioned that maintenance has been a roller coaster:
So you can see why a gain of 1 is great! I think that it takes more than 4 weeks to figure out how many points + how much exercise = stay the same. This week is going to be a killer though -- I have three restaurant meals and a dinner party :eek: ! I guess I'll have to bank a lot! As for drinking, I've found that I've cut down radically :( . It's a a double whammy... not only do the points get me, but it brings on quite an appetite. I'll only drink very occasionally. It helps to be the designated driver when I go out, that way people understand. Anyway, have a great day ladies! L. |
Good morning ladies!
Shalyne ~ Kudos for you for thinking about going back to school. I am planning on starting my master's program next spring. Lots of work, but, I will be happy to have another degree under my belt! Hi Lolly! Nice to see you! Brenda ~ I read your post from yesterday, and you are right. I am at a good weight, and I keep telling myself that I should maintain where I am at and just work on toning and in better physical shape. It is hard to let go of losing weight/seeing the number on the scale. I have been in a weight loss mode for almost 2 years, I need to rethink my plan. You are right though, 134 is very comfortable for me and thin enough, especially being 5'7" tall. I will continue to monitor my weight, but try to strive for a toned body now. :) Anyway, I hope everyone is having a great day. My guests are still in town, and planning on leaving Thursday night. I have so enjoyed having them around, they really are our best friends. We are planning on visiting them this fall in TN. Since they have been in town, my exercise regime has fallen to the wayside, but plan on hitting it again on Friday. DH is buying a new (well 1998) SUV this week, we are trading in our car. He is excited. Our DD has her Kindergarten Valentine's Day program at school tonight, and I had to register her for school this morning for next fall. I swear if I didn't have a palm pilot or my calendar on my computer, I would have no idea where I am suppose to be!! http://www.3fatchicks.com/ubb//dizzy.gif Well, I better get back to work, lots of stuff to do today before I leave early and go clean my house! Check in later.... ------------------ Tonya 170/134/140(WW)/132(personal) |
Good morning all! Welcome Casey! It's great to see another joining the board. This is a great place to get support.
Shalyne ~ I'm actually thinking about going back to school myself! Since Austin is a great town for Universities (Texas, St. Edwards, Concordia...)I don't want to miss any opportunities. I want to get my masters in management information systems and then try teaching at the undergraduate level. I don't think there are enough women going into the technology fields because there are very few women mentors in all of the university programs. I can't tell you how many meetings I have had to deal with were I was the only woman! And to top that off, it seems as if the women in technical roles have to explain themselves twice over before anyone will trust their ideas. I just want to try leveling the playing field from the educational angle :). Breanda ~ I read on your bio that you sell PartyLite candles. I love those candles! Do you do orders? I haven't found a rep in my area yet. Just let me know.... Thanks for all the advice on drinking. I guess I'll just have to cut back some :(. OK, as I was driving home from work last night I had an idea. What do ya'll think about a daily POLL? This might have been done, but with all of the newbies it could be a good way for us to get to know one another. I thought a funny start would be "What was the silliest/clutziest thing that you've done?" I have so many because I have never been the most graceful person. Most of my incedents involve falling down (I'm talking spread eagle) or burning myself while cooking. But, my all time best happened just a few months ago. I ran into a wall in the middle of the night on my way to the restroom and almost broke my nose. I totally overestimated the distance of the plaster wall and ran smack into it with a really loud thud. The kicker is that this happened on the honeymoon! Only I would bruise my nose on the most romantic trip of my life :). So...what are your moments? We won't laugh at you, we'll laugh with you. Have a great day all! Kay ------------------ kay 164/144/135 |
Hello all. Well, my computer keeps going down, so I hope this gets in.
Well, I was on program yestrday. That is one more star for me. I really hope I can keep this up so that the depresion weight comes off fast. Sarah: I was thinking about you and your families loss. I know you feel bad about the eating right now, but sometimes I think we really do need a little comfort food and it is too much to do all the WW things and help the family etc. Don't beat yourself up...but play it by ear and you will know when the time is right to start back up again. Shalyne: How do you like your MBA program? Where are you going? I have toyed withthe idea of an MBA, but I think I may stick to communication graduate study. Get well soon. Lolly: do share your running program. I am looking for something new to do cardio wise. But I have no idea how to start. Good job on getting out there. Lola: I have always heard maintaince wa shard. Let me know if you figure it out. Having been there many times I have obviously not figured it out (I always regain and have to start out again). Tonya, I think we were posting at the same time yesterday. I wish you luck on reshifting your mode from weight loss to maintain. You have done great and look great in your photos. We are here to help! Kay: your poll idea sounds like fun. The only thing I can think of is one time at a business conference I fell down the stairs. It was a little embarresing. I fell right by a table of old people. I think they were afraid I broke a hip or something. But I was fine. Well, I am off to work. I have the VCR to tape oprah today (day 3 of Dr. Phil show on weight loss). talk with you soon Trish 193.2/188.6/155? |
I'm here. I was tied up in a closing most of yesterday. It's really busy today, too!
I just wanted to tell everyone hello and welcome to everyone new! That's great! WI is tonight, so keep everything crossed! Have a great day if I can't get back this afternoon. ------------------ Stacey 235.7/185/160 |
Hello again :) Well I am definitely bored now LOL. Almost time for lunch tho so that's pretty cool...fast food I think...not very good of me, I do realize that! Ahh well. I'm doing my MBA at New Hampshire College... it's actually the reason I came up here. Their program is pretty cool and well I liked the area a lot too. It's just a general MBA but I will probably get a certificate to go with it as well, just to have a focus in one particular area. Originally I was going to do International Business b/c my undergrad major was International Relations, but now I'm thinking more along the lines of their computer certificate. Not sure yet. Okies, well off to lunch :)

Hello girls. Just had to post and tell someone. I just got tickets for hubby and me for the Oprah show. We are very close to Chicago, so I was open as to the date. We are going on Feb 26th. Hubby and I go up Sunday night as we have to be at the show like at 7am. So excited. I have gotten very sappy lately and really into Oprah.
Ok, hello Stacy. See you all soon Trish |
Good Morning! I was about 20 minutes away from leaving for work when my puppy decided to throw up http://www.3fatchicks.com/ubb//crying.gif DH had to take him to the vet last night b/c he has a cracked nail and he needed his next set of shots anyway. They only gave him one of the two shots b/c he had that allergic reaction to the last ones. I was really worried, so I called the emergency line where the girl was kind of snippy with me. She said if his breathing was OK I could wait to take him into my vet at 8 am. I decided to catch a few more winks and Nes slept too. When I got up he was acting normally, even wanting to play. I called my vet and they said he should be OK. I still took him to my MIL/FIL’s so they could watch him for the day. I don’t know what I would do without them! I stayed OP yesterday! I have already succumbed to the potato chips out in our kitchen. Lunch is being provided again today and it’s fajita’s. I’m hoping there’s chicken so I can eat with everyone. I have WI tonight but I won’t be able to stay for the meeting b/c I need to go get the dog. I was really looking forward to it too. I think I’ve lost but I’m kind of nervous!
Shalyne: It sounds like a lot of us have the same goal in mind. I want to go back to school for an Elementary Education degree. I may never need to use it with my PartyLite business, but it’s become a personal goal. I say go for it! Lolly: Good job maintaining! I have so much admiration for those of you who run! Lola: Wow, that is quite a variance. You’d think they would make maintenance longer you know? With all your dinners this week bank and exercise more than normal! You can do it :D Tonya: I’m thinking if you do concentrate on toning, you are going to end up with the results you want. Remember, muscle weighs more than fat! I have such admiration for you. Have fun with the new vehicle. Kay: Of course you can order from me! I’ll send you an e-mail with details & such! I do miss just being able to go out and drink when I want. I have a weakness for Margarita’s and it’s very seldom I allow myself one. Same with Kirsty’s and I’s favorite: LIIT (Long Island Ice Teas). I still manage as hard as it is *pout pout* Your story about being a clutz really hit home with me. My DH calls it ‘having a Brenda’ It’s not really that I’m clumsy, it’s just that I get going too fast or am not paying attention to what I’m doing. I had one on my honeymoon too! We took a cruise to Cancun (didn’t get to stop b/c of the weather), Cozumel and Roatan, Honduras. In Cozumel we went to the beach for a day and took one of the kayaks out in the water. The wind got really strong and we were fighting to get it back into shore. Well, we managed to tip the stupid thing over. Not a big deal accept for the fact that it smacked me on the head! Then I had trouble getting back on the stupid thing! *sigh* All of my little incidents have become a joke, but at least we CAN joke about it! Trish: You are a star! Keep it up. Have a wonderful day!! Wish me luck at WI *crosses fingers and toes* ------------------ Brenda 198.4/162.4/135(WW)/130(Personal) (5'4") When life gives you mud, make mud pies!! Feb 27 WI goal: 155 !! |
Hi all!
Just wanted to let you know that I was here. I have been lurking off and on the last few days. I just hav'nt had time to post. :) I gained 2 pds this last week. :( my own fault...to many "cheats". I am back on track with a new sticker chart. Been OP the last two days. Hi to all and I will try to chat soon! Emily |
Hi girls! Iam here, very busy at new job - will write from home when I can....don't know when I'll WI!!!

Hi all!
My home scale this morning said 2 lbs. down and I hope that means I'll get to my 10 percent tomorrow at WI! It seems like it's taking me forever to get these first 20 lbs. off. I try not to think about the fact I still have more than 50 more to go. That's just too depressing. Kay: A clutzy moment? I had one about two years ago, at a wedding. I was already nursing a bad knee that I injured playing soccer. I used to play in a city women's league. About a month later, I was in a friend's wedding and wearing some brand new high-heeled sandals. The wedding was outside, and during the reception, I stepped in a hole and my knee gave out of me. My b/f had to bring me a chair to sit on because I couldn't move. So there I was, in the middle of this wedding reception, sitting on a chair in the middle of the lawn drinking a glass of water. The photographer took a picture of me, too, looking pained and with sweat dripping down my face! Turned out later that I pretty much annihilated my ACL and had to have surgery a few months later. Talk about a weird story. I tell most people I hurt my knee *just* playing soccer! :D Brenda: That puppy is sure keeping you busy! And oh, margaritas. I love margaritas. I had one Saturday night, in fact. I think one of those huge ones can be at least 6 points, maybe more, on its own, though! :eek: Well, I better get back to work. Hope everyone's having a good day! I seem to be feeling a little better today! ------------------ Kim 206.8/188.6/130 Valentine's goal: 186.8 (my 10 percent) "I'm not there yet, but I'm closer than I was yesterday!" -Anon.

Hey everyone...real quick.
Trish: When will the show "air"? That is so super cool!!! I just got a dozen roses delivered to my office. http://www.3fatchicks.com/ubb//love.gif Yes, they are from my honey. hee hee I must get back. ------------------ Stacey 235.7/185/160 |
Kimobi your post brought back terrible memories!!! I too suffer from BAD knees. The last time mine went out was on the dance floor of a wedding reception... I had to be hussled out of there quick! Luckily, not too much of a scene was made, but man, was it painful.
So I guess I'm pretty klutzy too! ;) [This message has been edited by Lolabooey (edited 02-13-2001).] [This message has been edited by Lolabooey (edited 02-13-2001).] |
I AM IN HEAVEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just got my order of Baker's Breakfast cookies and am eating a Peanut Butter one right now. DELISH! If you haven't heard of these... they are super. They have 12 grams of fiber and there are about 10 different ones. On the Winning Points program they work out to 4 points each and are HUGE!!! Much better than the WW bars! If you order from the manufacturer http://www.bakersbreakfastcookie.com you have to buy a minimum of 4 dozen. BUT, if you order from http://www.bakersbox.com you can order a lesser quantity!
I love very filling things and these are wonderful. They are all the rage on Dotties Weight Loss Zone site, so I had to try them for myself. They are worth the price!!! Even my WW Leader mentioned them last week. They take about 2 weeks to get if you order from bakersbox, I don't know how long from bakersbreakfastcookie. Just thought I would share my find!!! Oh, Does anyone know where I can get Kashi Good Friends cereal for a cheaper price than $4 a box?? I don't have a Traders Joes by me and my Grocery Store sells them for $4. I had bought from an on-line health food store, but of course it went under!

Good afternoon everyone. It has been very busy here lately. It is hard for me to keep up when I am busy.
I had jury duty this morning so I didn't get to work until 1:30. I was dismissed from the jury selection so I got to leave early. Normally, I would have enjoyed the rest of the day to myself and not come in to work but I was out most of last week so I felt obligated to come in.l I am only at this client on Tuesdays and my jury duty last 2 more Tuesdays so I maybe called to serve again. Well I was over points again yesterday. I started out pretty well but went to a meeting and ate a little too much. IT was better than I had been doing but I am not in control yet. I wish I could respond to everyone but I just don't have the time. I hope that the sick people are feeling better. I also love margaritas but I rarely drink anymore. Only a few times a month and mostly wine with dinner or a margarita at a mexican restaurant. Lolly, great job on maintaining. TonyLyn, I am sure that your current weight is good for you, toning is a good idea. Trish, you are doing great. Brenda - thanks so much for the kind words. You knew exactly how I felt. Sorry I didn't respond to everyone else. Hope you are having agood day. Sarah 194.4/170?./153WW |
Oh boy. Lunch was rough. I couldn’t resist the dessert. 1/2 a brownie and some other cookie like thing. I have no idea how to count it. I’ll just have to eat veggies for dinner after weigh in.
Emily: Yeah for two days OP! Belle: Hope the new job is going well for you! Kim: I’d love to see that picture of you at the wedding! I’m sending you loser vibes for WI! I hate to burst your Margarita bubble, but do you realize that 4oz of Margarita is 5 points? The fish bowl margarita you can get at Ruby Tuesday is 32 oz. That’s 40 points. I used to drink two of them in one sitting. Ahhhh, those were the days :rolleyes: Stacey: Ah, roses!! I have to keep in my mind that I got some a couple of weeks ago. it’s just nice to get them at the office you know?? Aren’t we women pathetic! Jen: Thanks for the bakers cookie link. I have been meaning to order some. I was just afraid to see the price. I will have to go check the site out. I’m really not fond of the WW bars either. Sarah: *hugs* ------------------ Brenda 198.4/162.4/135(WW)/130(Personal) (5'4") When life gives you mud, make mud pies!! Feb 27 WI goal: 155 !! |
Hello ladies!
I have been reading some days but haven't had a chance to write. Sounds like everyone is still on top of their program....me on the other hand :( I haven't been doing so good. I'm stressed from work and am having a bit of a housing crisis. I might be moving in with my boyfriend April 1st but it's still up in the air. I really need to take some time for myself this weekend, luckily it's a long one. It is possible to crave veggies. I think I have been eating so bad my body has actually begun to crave veggies. I just had a veggie sandwich from Subway so I'm on my way back OP. Have a great night everyone! Suzanne |
Hi everyone! It's is great to be welcomed to a new group. I have had a good day today as far as food. I meant to be on the treadmill right now but I figured everyone would be goon from here in an hour so I thought i'd drop a line before starting.
My WI is thursday and I hope to lose again, wish me luck. Hope everyone has a good night. Casey 204.5/193.25/120-ish |
Afternoon !
It's been a slow day for me...busy for work though. I've stayed OP ! TOM is visiting...it is very hard to resist the free snacks in the kitchen ! I drank all my water...so I treated myself to a Pepsi 1....boy did the caffeine hit me ! etools Report: tech support e-mailed me back on some of my requests...some things were fixed. I've been using it more that my regular journal...it is keeping me on track ! Cons: 1)cannot upload/import recipes...have to re-type each one line by line. 2) cannot save journal unless it is the same day ( no repsonse yet from my e-mail to WW) 3) Site is slow 4) Message boards are not as good as 3FC's or Dotti's. 4) Cannot print a weekly journal or the notes ( no response yet from WW) For the most part, I feel I am getting my $12.95 worth...then again, I am a computer geek. Well I have to go fight with my health care people....I got a bill for $757.27 for all the tests that my doctor ran....says they are not covered ! The main reason is that the lab coded them as "non-diagonosis" which means they were for a physical....which was not the case ! It takes so much of my time to get it straightened out ! Off to call... Great job...keep up the good work ! Julie ------------------ 235/225.6/145 |
Brenda: 40 pts? OH MY GOSH. I don't think the one I had the other night was as big as 32 oz., but that's still awfully scary. Why, oh why, does the yummy stuff have to have calories? No fair! (stomp foot here!) Sigh.
Welcome Casey! It's almost 7:30 p.m., and I'm going home. Beats the past few weeks! When I filled out my time card for the past two weeks, I had 18.5 hours of overtime! And they'll pay me for it, too! Whoo-hoo! WI is in about 16 hours from now. So I'm going to healthy for dinner, exercise in my living room, and hope for the best. ------------------ Kim 206.8/188.6/130 Valentine's goal: 186.8 (my 10 percent) "I'm not there yet, but I'm closer than I was yesterday!" -Anon. |
Hey everyone. I'm rejoining the "sick" group. My chest is getting tighter as we speak...for all the wrong reasons.
Well, I went to WI and gained 1#! I'm bummed about it, but I think a lot has to do with the fact I don't feel good. That, and the Girl Scout cookies I ordered came in. Those are so hard to resist!! At least I'll be eating well this weekend. I'm getting my wisdom teeth pulled, so I probably won't be eating a lot of stuff period. I'm going to take advantage of the quiet house and go to bed. My fiance's dad owns a flower shop (hence the roses) and he's helping them out tonight. So, peace and quiet for me. :) Have a good evening everyone! ps, at least I went to the gym last night. My legs are really sore today. Back on track tomorrow! ------------------ Stacey 235.7/185/160 |
