Yay for Friday!
 

I'm sooo glad the weekend's almost here! What an exhausting week it's been. And this morning has started hectic. Some 17-year-old girl gave birth in a hotel toilet and police are involved. It's not clear what happened yet, but the baby is alive. See what I mean about never having a quiet Friday? I want to sleep! I went out last night and stayed out until 1, which I'm not used to on a weekday! Jeez, I'm starting to feel old.

Ali: Don't fret! Look how how well you've done! I can't believe this is the first time you've gained on WW. That's amazing. You've done so well! For the past two months I've been up and down and up and down. I envy you! What's your secret? :D (And I agree. I bet it was definitely the pill that caused the gain).

Lori: Great loss! Congrats!

Jen: I feel your pain, too!. Right now, for example, I'm really in the mood for bad food. Someone stop me! I need to find that willpower somewhere. Don't you all just hate obsessing about food all the time? That's what I feel. Like it's always on my mind. When I'm eating one meal, I'm already looking ahead to what I can have at the next. I guess this whole WW thing is really about learning to think different too.

OK, gals, I gotta run. See you later!

happy Friday!!!
 

Hey eveyrone! I am in a much better mood than I was on Wednesday. I have been doing really well on WW this week (since Wed). I have eaten below my max and done tond of exercise. I still expect a gian this week but it won't be as bad as it could have been. It stopped raining yesterday and cleared up for me and DH to take a walk in the afternoon. I really want to plant tomorrow but I think it will be too wet since it rained again this morning. Argh! :mad:

Also, I did another assignment for school. Work is slow and I am pretty much alone at this client so I will try to get through a lot today. I still have until 4pm and would like to get at least 1 more big assignment done.

We are going out to dinner tonight to Copeland's. It is New Orleans food nad they have a lot of seafood. Has anyone been there? I checked their menu online and it appears that they have 2 lite options that sounds good. I will see tonight. I am going to the gym and WI before dinner tonight. Don't have any food plans for the weekend - we still don't know what we are doing for Easter- so I don't know what challenges to expect. Am looking forward to DH starting WW on Monday :D

I hope everyone has a very happy Easter and a nice weekend. Best to all!

I just read a review of BJ.... and although it got rave reviews... they said that Renee was not there personal first choice... they would have liked to see Minnie Driver. I agree, I love Minnie!!!!

Just wanted to add that in!

Happy Easter Everyone... I am done in 5 minutes

Kim: How awful about that girl giving birth!! Makes me sad thinking about it!

Sarah: That's really neat that your DH is joining WW!! I kind of wish my fiance would take the initiative, but if he would just get active, then he would lose his "belly"

Jen: I agree...Minnie would have been great! I love watching her in movies! But, you know, I see Renee as more disjointed and clumsy...kind of like BJ. Minnie is really graceful. But, she can act clumsy I guess!

Well my sis just got here so I'm going to eat lunch now!

Ciao!

This day is dragging!
 

OK, today not going so well. I had doughnuts for breakfast and then someone got me hot apple cider b/c my throat is sore again. Should have just made hot tea. :mad: Ah, well, what’s done is done. I may have to just eat some 1 point popcorn for lunch so I can do dinner, and maybe a beer for happy hour with my hubby too!

Jen: I think Colby might be next b/c he keeps winning the prizes/immunity challenges and the others would like a chance at them. On the other hand, he’s the healthiest/strongest right and that is an asset. I haven’t actually seen the show in weeks but have been following it on the internet site www.survivor.cbs.com I know where you are coming from. It’s very hard to turn down food when it’s calling to you and begging you to eat it. I had to laugh when you said hubby was yelling at you. I got this great mental picture of him trying to pull it out of your hand and you trying to desperately put it in your mouth :lol: I think we all have been there!

Angie: Thanks for the encouragement. Food at parties is VERY hard, especially when there’s dessert!

Lola: I’m starting to think that maybe Elisabeth is going to win in the end. I like her.

Lori: Wow!! Congrats on your loss! Do you realize you are way more than halfway there? Only 22 pounds left to lose! That’s nothing :p Keep up the good work. I know you can get through the weekend successfully :D

Kim: I too feel like I’m constantly thinking about food, how much water I’ve drank, the fact that I should be exercising. I don’t know if it will ever change, but that’s OK b/c we’ll be doing it the rest of our lives. We just have to learn to treat all of those thought differently. I know we can do it!

Sarah: I think it’s so cool that your DH is joining with you. I’ve told mine to join w/me, but he has the discipline to go to the gym and work out on weights. He really doesn’t want to lose, he just wants to move the weight around. Chest, arms, legs etc. It does help though b/c he’s eating more healthy foods so there’s not constantly pizza and Taco Bell in my face! You’ll do great on dinner and at WI. Have a wonderful weekend!

Gross.
I just got passport photos and I'm in shock.
I look really, really awful.
Aside from the stringy hair, pimples, neck creases, pasty face and generally icktastic countenance I also look very fat. My face looks like a perfect, pudgy moon.
I was going to wait until next Tuesday to sign up but gracious, at this rate I can't register fast enough.
Mind you, I went to a quickie shop and paid too much. I'm sure a professional could've done a better job and I'd be less desperate about the whole affair.
Nonetheless, if all your support wasn't enough, my own unretouched image has sent me sprinting to WW.
Sadly, I'm almost entirely convinced that a guacamole burrito would make it all better.
Help!

I'm right there in the Mexican restaraunt with you! Burritto's are my fave mexican food. You will be able to eat them b/c they aren't that hard to fit into your day. I eat one every two weeks or so.

DON'T LOOK AT THE PHOTO AGAIN! Didn't you know there is a little evil monster inside any camera device that can make you look awful?? The monsters at passport photo places and Driver's License offices are the worst :devil:

Hey, if you are sprinting to the meeting, you already have a great start on exercise! :lol: This is one area I have major problems in! Don't fret, soon you'll be on the same track we are :D

Good Golly Miss Molly!!
 

When the cat is away, the mice will play!!
Both bosses are gone and I am totally bored.
I am so ready to go home. I'm having a chocolate attack and hopefully with the salad I had for lunch, I'll be ok.
I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.
Happy hochmagandy!! :devil:

Hello all!

This is my first post on 3fatchicks, although I've been lurking for a while! I'm not new to WW. I did WW last year for 6 months, then quit because of time commitments. I thought I would be able to do it on my own. Wrong! In January I weighed myself and saw I maintained, I drove to WW as fast as I could! I've been on program since and am down another 11 pounds.

Lost 2.4 pounds today at weigh in. Woo hoo! I'm dreading this weekend. DH and I are going to visit his family in PA for Easter weekend. I have my low point survival bag packed, but I will definately be upping the exercise next week.

Hope everyone has a great weekend!
