Morning turtles

Dinner last night was good, ended up having all meat chicken nacho dish which was really tasty, couldn't find the point value so counted as 20 to be
safe. I "turtled" at my weigh in last night which was alittle disappointing
since I have done lots of walking - but I did have 3 restaurant meals in
the last week, so I probably should be happy not to be up.

Terri - Sat am going to restaurant in Lindsay called Cat & Fiddle, I googled it
and looks like British pub food and probably everything is high in calories.
Then onto Omemee for Neil Young tribute concert - have you been to these
places?

All - hope your weigh ins were great this week.

Terri, glad you're having a good week!
I have those days when I wake up starving and no matter what I do, food is on my mind all day. Getting on the computer helps because it makes the time go by. I've also been trying to "time" my food----allowing no more than 3 hours to go by without eating something----even carrot sticks and celery. Glad you're doing well!

Bandit, I am sorry you turtled this week with all your :exercise:, but you're right it's hard to tell exactly what is in restaurant food. You must have made good choices to not be up. You're where I want to be on the scale and I'm working it again! Enjoy your weekend and your next dinner out.

Princess, hope you're enjoying your mini-vacation.

Cherry and Kim and Life4 and Jars and Taylors and all the gals, so good to see you here when you can.

I keep on pushing the scale up------am back at JC for some help, but gained 2# this week. Wed., Thursday and Friday have been great so far, so I'm going to be optimistic and keep going! Tracking food, limiting calories to the 1200-1300 range, and eating low cal food that helps fill me up. When I'm hungry, I'm trying drinking tea to help settle that feeling. Yay!

:goodvibes: and :grouphug: to all of us who keep coming back to tackle this weight loss problem. We're doing it. I know I take very interesting side paths here and there on this journey, but if I were perfect, I'd probably be boring! Lol. How's that for a good attitude?


Judy
234.6/189.8/179 and thinner into goal :cool:

Slept in!!! Couldn't get my butt out of bed!!!Probably tax depression!! Thats all we did all weekend, Did walk to Farmers Market Sat am,and out to buy a new calculator, but other wise taxes taxes!!!! Yuck.

Promise to walk at lunch!!!

Bandit, have been to Lindsay/Omemee lots, never been to Cat and Fiddle, how was it? Sounds like a high point pub type place!!! I Like to go to Giant Tiger in Lindsay.
How was the Neil Young tribute? Where was it held at?

Kim,Judy,Princess lets keep our chins up and hope the scale goes down!!! I think I have gained and lost the same 5 lbs a million times!!! enough is enough!!!

Terri

Hey, I'm all for declaring enough is enough!!!!! Good thoughts, Terri. I guess one way to look at this is at least we didn't put back all the weight we lost which I've done more times in the past than I like to think about. However, I really want to do this and I like the enough is enough mantra.

So, let's tell each other one small change we will make this week that will make a difference in our weight loss.
I'll start. I will get through the weekend without bingeing.

How about you guys? What do you think?

I'm so proud of us for staying with this. We can do it! We are doing it. One step at a time, one day at a time. :cheer: Now let's try a little harder. :love:

Kim, that's never TMI. Vent what you need and want.......it all helps.
Good for you that TOM didn't affect your weight this time.
Yay!

Good morning everyone, back from vacation and had a wonderful time. Worked from home yesterday but need to go into the office today so I need to get moving.

I will catch up with posts from while I was gone soon.

Scale is up but I will work on it.

Have a great day all!

Terri - the restaurant was a British pub type place & yes, most things were
high calorie, I ended up ordering a burger w/fries and only ate a few of those
The concert was in Omemee town hall - really old place with small stage but
music was good. I had no idea Neil Young was from Omemee and they have opened a museum called Youngstown in his honour. Anyway, fun night.

Judy - yes, it is great we are all sticking with this no matter what the scale shows. YOu win some, you lose some but keeping in the game is key.

Princess - still super busy, but great you are popping in when you can

My week has been the greatest foodwise, dinner out Sat night and breakfast out Sunday, but have been getting in my walks so that is good.

All - have a great week.

Hi Princess, glad to hear you're back and had a great vacation. Nothing like some R&R to rejuvenate us!

Bandit, so glad you had a great week and are keeping up with the exercise.
That's the key!

I need to step up my exercise, but food has been very good and I'm so happy with that.
Everybody, have a great day!

Hi turtles:

Judy - I meant to say "wasn't the greatest" but thanks for the supportive
words.

Kim - Good luck with not smoking. Quitting smoking is the hardest thing I
ever did but sooooooooooo glad I did. It has been 14 years for me and I was heavy smoker for 27 years. You can do it!!!

Wow Bandit, what a great accomplishment! Encouraging to Kim to know you did it and she will too!

Had a good WI today. Down the 2# I put on last week and a little more for a total of 2.4# down! Yay! I had a very good week. Not perfect, but really good. I'm going to do that again this week.

Judy - congrats on a fabulous week! Thats great, keep up the good work

Terri - good you are up & heading to the Y, getting there is half the battle.
Awesome with the not smoking, as I said it is difficult but can be done.

All - as expected I was up 1# at the scale last night. Usually I post after Tops, but am not going tonight so posted WW results.
Anyway, I guess I shouldn't have 3 food functions in 1 week. Hoping to do
better this week

GOod luck, everyone!

Hey gals,
Good to hear from you.
Terri, weigh to go getting to the Y
Bandit, 3 food functions and up 1# is an improvement in what I would have done years ago, so :cheer: to you. And look at your wonderful number.
I really want to get there!
Gals, really busy again today, but I'm going to start a new thread. See you all at #278 getting ready for the beach!
