Thought that I would start a new post the other one was getting to long.

I feel so crapy! :( I guess this is one day closer to feeling better.

I hope that you are all doing well. Drinking your water and getting in some activity. Take care and keep up the good work! :D

Hey Deelite, hope you're feeling better today :)

Byrd Hey a pound is a pound. That is great. Go take a look at that pound of butter and say good bye. :rolleyes: I wish I could lose that pound. The medication the dr. has put me on cause weight gain. :( I guess that is why I gainned so much over summer. I kept expecting to lose when I went in for my weigh in. Not

Ohh well one day at a time! That is all I can do.


Does anyone know how to fix my mistake? I started a new post and forgot to #2. Sorry.

Hi Everyone
I hope that you all have a nice week end.
Not much happening on our board.
I have to go away for a week so I won't be posting for awhile. :(
I am going for heart surgery. Maybe after this I will feel better. I need my life back.
Keep drinking your water and counting your points and I hope to hear that there is less of you when I get back.
Take a walk for me...
Bye

Deelite......heart surgery :eek: That's really serious; may I ask why you have to have heart surgery? I wish you all the luck in the world. Take care of yourself.

Robin

I went for my 2nd weigh-in today. Reminder... 1st week 1.2. This week.... 4.8!!!!! :D That makes 6lbs total!!! :D

I have a super headache now though and wish it would go AWAY!!!

Where in the world is everyone?????

BAMA BERT...you are doing GREAT!!!!!!!! :) Wish I could say that I was doing that well, but this week's weigh-in did not go well. First of all, I knew that I had probably gained 1 lb., but I had to wear jeans since the we had cool weather...so 2+ :( I know that I didn't have the best week, but I'm determined to shake it off & get back on track this week & lose 2-3 lbs.!!!!!! Also, I didn't get in any exercise last week, but I will this week.

I'm so glad this week is almost over. Other than the awful w/i, I had to take John to the ER because he had gotten choked on something Sunday night & it stayed in his throat. He wouldn't go until Tuesday morning & they ended up admitting him for 23 hrs to run a scope down his throat. They got what looked to be a piece of plastic & he's doing much better now. Also, my poor little Reagan had to go have his "2" month shots. He got 4 in his legs & it hurt my poor baby, but he quit crying almost as soon as I picked him up. He's such a brave baby :D When he was born, he weighed 7 lbs 15 ozs & was 21" long; now he's 13 lbs 10 oz & 25" long...he'll be 12 weeks tomorrow.

Hope to hear from everyone soon. Have a great w/e.

Robin

Hi Everybody I know my friend
DEELITE is home now and just wanted to say, WELCOME BACK you sure were missed. Take it easy and rest as much as you can.~~~~~I'll be talking to you soon. :)
Love Slavika.

Hi Deelite...Welcome Back Home!! So glad everything went well. Looking forward to 'talking' to you. You take care :D.

Hey girls...where have you all disappeared to?????

Does anyone else do what I do...weigh everyday? I know you're not supposed to, but I do it anyway :o It seems to help. Anyway, my scales are showing that I'm down a few pounds...sure hope it shows that at w/i on Thursday. How is everyone else????

Deelite...how did things go? Are you OK????

I've got an idea...if you all come back. We need to liven the thread up. How about we post some daily menus/recipes/tips/etc.??? Or any other suggestions you may have. Please give me some input.

Robin

Good Morning ;) ;) ;)

I think you are right Robin everyone has disappeared. Or maybe they are haveing a party without us somewhere...

I am back at home now. With not much to do. I need to rest and keep quite for a while. I think the surgery was a success. I will know more when I am moving around a bit more. I am quite sore :( but glad to be home.

I like your idea about posting tips and recipes. It might get things going. :D

I hope your weigh in goes well on Thursday. My meeting is today but I am not up to going yet. I will forfeit that and go to my friends for tea.

have a good day

I just finished typing up a take home exam due in a class at 2pm today (it is just after noon here)!!! :-) I will have time to make my weigh-in in about an hour! I am not expecting good news. I did not stay on program this weekend (with a big football game in town Saturday and all that good tailgate food and beer!), but I was too bad. However it is nearly that TOM and I suspect H2O will be a culprit as well. Not to mention that I ate some micro popcorn last night that seemed overly salty. But, since I expect it, hopefully the news won't be as hard to take. Hopefully I will have time tonight to post how it went! Deelite, glad you are doing better!!! I know I am new but WHERE IS EVERYONE?!?!?! :-D

I lost another pound!!! :)7 lbs total in 3 weeks back in WW!!!! :cool: I am pretty excited :D

Deelite & Bama Bert I'm soooooooo glad to see you guys :) I thought everyone had left!!

Deelite...I hope you're doing well & I don't blame you a bit for skipping your w/i last night :) Get plenty of rest & get back to good health!!!!

Bama Bert...you are on the ball!!!!!!! You're doing GREAT.

Do the 2 of you exercise? I've been trying to ride the 'ole exercise bike at least 3X per week & am doing pretty well. I have a great neighborhood to walk in, but I never seem to do it because there is a hill either direction I go in...it's a circle...(& w/asthma it's really hard on me). I know that it would be good for me; but unfortunately, I rarely listen to myself. LOL!!!

Take care.

Robin

Good Morning

Byrd
How long have you been on the program?
I have been back for three years this month as a life time member. I had gained weight thinking that now I am at goal I don't need the weekly meetings...but I did. I have been at goal weight or below for two years now. I am finding it harder to maintain since I have been sick since Febuary. I haven't been able to exercise. I really feel that it is an important part of the program. Besides that I love to exercise. I think that is part of my heart problem. I have exercized for 3-4 hours daily since I was in grade 5.

Bama Bert

Wow Yipee... you are doing great. I can't beleive the pounds are jusr dropping off you.Way to go. You are on your way. Keep up the great job.

Have a great day everyone!!! :)

Good afternoon everyone: Yes, I have disappeared for awhile. I haven't been on my computer for weeks. I haven't stuck to my diet and I just feel fat!!!!!

Deelite I'm glad your surgury went well. :) Take it easy

Byrd I hope your exercising is going good. I can't seem to get motivated!

BamaBert WTO with the loss! :)

Have a great evening!!!

welcome back Tammie :)
This is a life style change and we all slip up sometimes. But your back, that is what counts.

Here is a great cookie recipe that gives you a treat for low points. Enjoy :rolleyes:

It is OK to indulge your sweet tooth occasionally, especially with tasty reduced-fat cookies such as these!

Lemon Poppy Seed Cookies

1 tablespoon skim milk
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon grated lemon rind
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup poppy seeds
Cream margarine; gradually add sugar, beating well at medium speed of an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
Add egg, beating well. Add skim milk, lemon juice and lemon rind, beating well.
Combine flour, baking soda and salt; add to creamed mixture, beating well.
Stir in poppy seeds.
Divide dough into 4 equal portions; place each portion on a sheet of plastic wrap, and shape into a 4-inch x 2-inch log. Wrap logs in plastic wrap, and refrigerate or freeze until firm.
Unwrap logs and cut into 1/4-inch slices. Place 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake at 350 degrees for 6 to 8 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool on wire racks.

Good afternoon: Today is going OP so far. I am planning to weigh only 1 a month because I cant afford 11 dollars a week. I'm a life time member so I don't have to pay for missed meetings or rejoining fees! :)

Deelite thanks for the cookie recipe it sounds yummy!

Have a nice evening!!

Good Morning :) :) :)Here is your funny story for the day...

Last night I went to take a pee...

When I got up to flush...

I seen red in the potty! :eek:

Oh no I think I sprung a leak from one of my holes from the surgery...

I knew it wasn't that time of the month...

Am I going to bleed to death...

Just then hubby comes in and says ...

"I got to stop eating those beets! Every time I pee there is red in it..

I started to laugh...

Oh I thought I sprung a leak I have the same problem! :o

NO DUH.....lol :D

Have a laugh on me go a head...

Love Dee

Thank you all for the warm welcomes. I look forward to getting to know you. :)

Meshell

Good afternoon: I have been running in place on my little trampoline. Boy, my foot was sore this morning! I decided shoes must be worn while jumping. My excercise is going well, but...........as I'm writing this I'm eating Halloween candy!!! :(

Deelite I'm glad it was only the beets! :) I remember when I fed beets to my kids when they were babies and wow! I was freaking out when I show all that red in the diapers!! I never fed them beets again!!

Hello to everyone have a nice evening!!
