Weigh in for my hubby and I is tomorrow. If it doesnt fluctuate to much from this morning i will have a great loss this week. If it does fluctuate I know it is just that, a fluctuation.
Julie- Great to hear from you. I am glad you are getting back on track today. I didnt even think about the fact that it is Autumn where you leave and here in the middle of the U.S we are in the middle of Spring. Wow.
Judy-Good to hear you are planning your day around your bigger meal. Keep on keepin' on.
Hi Turtles,
That's why we're turtles, NEWYEARNEWME! Weekends are tough, but somehow we gather ourselves up on Monday and get right back on track. You're doing great. Just keep on keepin' on!
Cherry, love your attitude. I hope the fluctuation cooperates and that you'll get a : WEigh to go. Let us know.
Today was a wacky day, but I think I'm okay with points. Drove my dh to three different dentists when we hadn't planned any of it! Crazy, but these things happen. So starving by the end of it, I ate a lot of food quickly, but I'm counting on flexible restraint to get me through the evening.
Good luck to us all@

It is good to be a turtle slow and steady is me lol. good luck with WI Cherry your have a great outlook for you.
I have WI Wednesday not hopeful but I'll settle for a STS it is cold here at the moment feels more like Winter than Autumn but I love it I prefer the colder months our Summers are very hot.
Hi everyone - I'm back & thrilled to see a new member and have Cherry posting again.
I skimmed through the posts & sounds like everyone is doing great.
CHerry - awesome loss for you!
Judy - you've had your ups & downs, but as always - perservered and back on track, great!
NewYearNewMe - welcome to our group!
As for myself - been on holidays and enjoyed time spent at home, as well as away with my cousin. It was so nice to relax at hotel, watch movies, sit in hot-tub, walk & go to the casino. Ended up - we came home with more $$ than we started with and had lots of fun.
Cherry that's an awesome amount to lose YAY to you
Bandit thank's for the welcome it sound's like you had a lovely break and isn't it good when you come home with extra $$.
I'm doing OK staying to points and did WI this morning and even with my few bad days still managed a 900g loss that is nearly 2,1/2lb roughly and also hit my 10% YAY so I'm a slow and steady turtle lol
Hi Bandit,
So glad you had such a great vacation. Sounds like lots of fun! As far as my getting back on track: well, I wish I didn't get off track so easily, but I'm dealing with that. I've been on 6 of the 7 days this week for one and a half miles per day, so I'm proud of that.
Cherry, weigh to go! : wow!
That is an amazing weight loss. I am so proud of you and happy that you have perservered. It looks like this is your time to lose weight. You go!
Newie,
Always good to hear from you! Thanks for joining us and keeping this site going.
Another good day today with being out and lots of food choices. In the winter, I hunkered down much more. Now I"m out running errands with dh and he loves to grab a slice of pizza. Today I had a bite of one of his slices and a Diet Coke, That took flexible restraint!!!!
WI tomorrow. Wish me luck.

Newie,
I posted before I saw your wonderful results at your WI. 2 1/2# is wonderful! Yay! :
Wow! That's a great loss. I remember you thought you might not have done too well, so it's great you didn't give up this week. Yay!
Judy
Judy- That would have taken more than just restraint for me to take only one bite of pizza. I think i might have to be dead to show restraint in that area. Glad to hear you have had several days in a row of good on point days.
Weigh in day kind of turned into an eating spree. But i tracked everything and will keep on moving forward. I need to work in more water to.
Hi Turtles,
Hey, I've got good news too! : for me and down a pound this week. My leader says to forget that I weighed less a couple of weeks ago, concentrate on what I weigh now, and keep on keepin' on! I can do this.
Hectic treat filled week where I had to use flexible restraint and it paid off. I'm getting exercise and that's always a good thing!
: to us all.

Welcome, Julie! Great to see someone here from Down Under. You're doing great!
Cherry, look at you go! Woo-hoo!
Bandit, is that you in the picture? You're lovely!
Judy, you're still in onederland; weigh to go!
I've been MIA, though still posting over at Dotti's. Eating has been not so good this month. Well, most of the month it has been fine, but there have been enough slip-ups that my weight has gone up. I'm NOT happy about this. I think much of it is due to all the socializing -- my book group went to a weekend conference (which was outstanding) and brought way too many goodies, my parents like to go out to eat, etc. I need to learn how to handle these occasions better.
I'm still fitting into my clothes, but they're tight, and I hate tight clothes! I'm kind of scared, to tell you the truth, and I'm hoping I'm scaring myself back into full-time commitment. Because that's really what it takes for me to lose weight. Part-time won't cut it.
Hi Turtles,
I wrote a message and the site was down and it got lost------but mostly I want to say a hi back to Lauren and to wish you : while you deal with the situations you're facing right now. Fun social occasions can be a kick! I know my dh and I are getting out more now and to him part of the fun is getting a "slice" as we say in NY. I've opted for a bite of his pizza and/or a salad instead and shaved off some points that way. Snug clothes aren't fun, but I know you can get up and over this!!!!!
Judy - congrats on the weight loss. Your back on track & doing awesome.
Lauren - yes, that is me in the picture (taken Feb 2010) so fairly recent
and thank you for the compliment.
Cherry/Julie - hang in their, and success will come.
For me, I received a "6 week, no gain" certificate at my meeting last night.
I find that is the hardest thing to do - even though I didn't drop much - but just to go 6 weeks and not be up, so I was pleased with that.
Goal this week: walk 6 miles & stay within my points for the ENTIRE week!
Have a great day and so nice to see a new member & have our other ones back with us!
Hi Turtles,
Cherry, really nice to see your slider moving down!
Bandit, I love that idea of 6 weeks, no gain. That's my aim for this upcoming month. Good for you for earning your certificate!
Julie, hitting 10% is one of the most important milestones at WW's. Weigh to go! You're on the right track and are an amazing turtle.
Lauren, are you clothes fitting a bit better now? I hope so!!!!
Yesterday I decided to step up my exercise. I walked on the boardwalk for my usual half hour mile and a half. then did toning exercises at home for 20 minutes and got on the for another half hour. Whew! I am proud.
Have a great weekend, everyone. For me that means being very careful with my points and using flexible restraint. I want to knock off as much weight as I can now because I'll be visiting my sisters in a bit and that'll be a week on the road. I like being with them, but the eating challenges are many. I'll have to plan ahead.
