Back again!!
Thought I may as well start a new thread but now I cannot go back to re-read what everyone wrote.
Thank you all for the encouraging words about me re-joining ww. Boy things have changed somewhat since I last joined. It seemed a very nice group, the leader also was very helpful. DH is showing a lot of interest (he wants to loose a few kilos) and I feel very positive about making it to goal this time and staying there
DH went for a swim down the beach first thing this morning at 6am, I will try and join him tomorrow morning. It continues to be very hot, far too hot to swim in the middle of the day, one would be burnt to a frizzle
My first challenge will be tonight when dh and I are taking the children and partners out to dinner. I have already decided no alcohol and will probably have grilled fish and salad.
Now for the bad news, I weighed 89.3 kg which in your language is 196.46 lbs , it does sound soooo much worse in pounds http://www.3fatchicks.com/ubb//crying.gif My goal weight is 72 kg (158.4 lbs)
This is the first time I have ever actually shared this news, I have always sort of beaten around the bush before http://www.3fatchicks.com/ubb//nervous.gif
I am off to the libary, not much else to do in this hot weather other than read and drink my water.
Cheers
Maria

Had to pop in for a minute . Lily the other one is pimentoes Had to dig out my paper work to find that one .
Maria way to go joining the ranks with the rest of us. Don't worry about posting numbers . (we'll never tell) They will change as you gain control over your eating.
Dee, no my kids never had to be hospitalized. There was a time when I thought My son should be but doctors did not agree.It took a few months before they were well again. But medication kicked in and you could see the moods changing. Hope things went well for you tonight with DD.
Cal: You will get your exercise. You make up your mind to do something and you always do!
You had a super year last year with that loss!
Trudy: I guess we are all going to go with Slavika! Im sure she will have lots of luggage to carry anyways!
Slavika: Oh no Ralph is back! Dont you just hate it when that happens? Never fails to happen when you have written something big to! Yep offical luggage carriers we are. Make sure you take 3 bags cuz there are 3 of us carring them!
Dee: so glad your daughter got to go with you. Hope you all enjoyed your day!
Maria: Congrats on rejoining WW. A good leader does make the difference! Couldnt get to the site. Will keep trying!
Karen: Thanks! I knew I didnt eat them! And certainly will never eat a cup of them!
Oh fudge! I had a great post all ready to go and the cyber thieves attacked my 'puter and it is gone. Where? Who knows? I am just too lazy to try and type it again.
Started back OP today. I joined the Spring Challenge on Dotti's board so it is official. I am committed to losing 30# by 4/15. I really don't think I can lose it that fast----I never have----but will give it the good old college try.
Margot, what program do you use to look up and track points on your palm? I haven't started using mine yet. I am afraid of it.
I guess it's all back to normal now. Tree is out and the deco is all put up, and family all gone. I do love my dd but sometimes it sure is nice when she goes home, guess we are just set in our ways.
When back to school today also, so play time is over it's back to the books.
Geri I would like to join you on you 30# down by April 15, like you not sure I can do it but will do my best. I will start with my weight in Thursday.And post it here each monday. (reg meeting are on mon)
Dee Take care of yourself, I'll be thinking of you and your family
better go and hit the books
will stop back by later to see how things are going.

Hi Everybody Well, went to WW today and we got the first of the material on the new program. Looks good. I did ok on the weigh in too. I was 151# which is 1# over goal, where in previous years I would probably have gained 5 or 6 lbs. MARIA I know you will get the weight off and get to your goal. I was 187# when I joined WW. I also found out about that time that I was diabetic and the doctor said I had to get the weight off and exercise or I would end up injecting insulin like my Father. So it was really important for me to get the weight off. I reached goal in October 1998, and have managed to keep the weight off by going to WW every week and walking on my treadmill. I try to walk at least a 1/2 hr, 5 times per week. Every 3 months I go in for a blood sugar count and I am doing really great and only take a pill occasionally to keep my sugar in check. Now.....I told you all this so you would know that I have to work hard to stay at goal and know that you will have to work hard too but we can ALL support each other on this board, and be a bunch of "losers". LILY and GERI I think it was you two gals that were up to doing the 30# Spring Challenge. Good for you. Mind you carrying my HEAVY SUITCASES
might help you with your weight loss. http://www.3fatchicks.com/ubb//dizzy.gif
Oh and GERI I think Ralph got a hold of your post too. I'm not sure what he does with them.......I don't even want to go there. hee hee
Well tomorrow's Wednesday so it's lunch and shopping with my friend. LELA I'm happy the holidays are over and things are sort of back to "normal" too. MY tree is down and all signs of Christmas have been put away until next year. Good luck with your school term.
Well everybody, "talk" to you tomorrow. Night all.
Geri I use a program that I downloaded. Lily sent me the info last year. I think it is still available. Lily will you email the info to her?
OK Lily and Geri I also signed up for the challenge at Dotti's: 30# by April 15. I hope Saturday will be my first loss for the challenge.
My Holiday report:
from 10/28 (Halloween) to 12/30: down 8.4 lbs about 1 lb per week. I am sure glad it is January when everyone is interested in eating healthy (at least for a few weeks <IMG SRC="http://www.3fatchicks.com/ubb//lol.gif"> ) DH wants me to tell you that he lost 17.2 during the same time. It is nice to have a partner in this. I expect he will get to goal before me. Oh well!
Last night we had to pick up DD at the airport at 11p.m. and didn't get home until midnight. She went to New York to visit her friend for New Year's. Got up at 5:30 a.m. and I am pooped!!
So- I am off to bed so that I can get up and do 30 minutes on the treadmill before work. OK I wrote it, now I'm going to do it! http://www.3fatchicks.com/ubb//nervous.gif

Hi ladies...I am sitting here with a smile on my face. I had a wonderful birthday. My friend Slavika made Tea Time into a little party for me, including a cake, candles to blow out, singing and presents . My DH, DD, and Son-in law, took me out for a dinner and then my family came over later in the evening for drinks, coffe & cake. My dear Mom made me my favorite ~ a Lemon Chiffon Cake, just loved the whole day. What a wonderful start to the new year. http://www.3fatchicks.com/ubb//love.gif
Lily..Thank You for the greeting card, that was a very nice surprise.
My weigh in went well, I am up but I didn't have to pay. I just squeaked by. This is the best "after holiday" weigh in I have ever had. Usually I come back 5 lbs up. Also, I must say that in the past I might have ducked the first few WI because I knew I was up. Being here with all of you makes me want to try harder to get off the pounds and KEEP THEM OFF. When I read your posts I get quite inspired...so THANKS.
Birthdays are good for you. Statistics show that the people who have the most live the longest
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, TRUDY! Hope it was an absolutely terrrrrific day!
It took me awhile to find you gals here on thread #86. I bookmark the current thread we are on, so as not to have to load each page. Everytime I checked this morning there were no new posts. Finally, I decided to check the main page and sure enough, there y'all were on #86. Maria, are you just trying to adjust to this new year?
CAL: I sooo admire your plan of attack. Your administrative traits shine through in all you do. That has to be a secret to success -- have a definite plan. You're really thinking ahead and have set goals and means to achieve those goals. Again, I must say what an inspiration you are to me! And I'm so impressed with your decision to commit to the 3-day walk again this summer. Slow but steady is a good plan. I need to follow your lead. Thanks, friend!
Geri and Lily: Good going with the 30-pound goals. I have to wait until I'm ready to completely commit to it all -- program, water, exercise, meal-planning. We have 2 trips next week, so I won't try to get with it yet.
G'day all,
So sorry about getting the number wrong, these senior moments seem to occur more frequently Trudy a belated Happy Birthday , I loved your quote, so true Gerri, Margot and Lily I might just join you guys for the 30 lb loss
I am feeling very positive, went out to dinner last night and stayed OP. This morning I went on a huge bike ride, I have just had a shower and some fruit and feel really good.
Taking this whole thing very seriously now, I realise that I did under estimate my points , I am now totally focused, journaling, drinking the water and I know this time I will do it.
Cheers
Maria
