Hello All,


Yes I still do exist really:) I have my convocation on Saturday and about a million and ten things to do tomorrow for it. This is such a big deal for my parents too. I am going for dinner afterwards too which I am so looking forward to.

It has been really cold lately, on my way to the gym I could see my breath. Anyhoo, I am still searching for my maintanance level, this is fun. I have found a meeting now and everything and that has been going well. It was funny, I was talking to a girl who just joined and she asked me if I had been on WW for a while, I told her yes and she was glad since she said I looked too small to be there:D

I will most likely make lifetime next week!! So this is very exciting for me, I cannot wait.

Also try Breyer's frozen yogurt, it is really yummy:)


Take Care!

Ali

Back from Beyond...
 

Hi everybody!

Back indeed. Things have been super busy lately (just ask Ali who I haven't been able to meet yet!) Things here are good...I've maintained for my 3rd month of Lifetime (yay!) but (true confession time) journaling is still a bit dodgy.
BTW Ali would you be interested in being a Special Guest Star at my WW meeting next week? I think it would be nice as it's your Lifetime week. I'll call you over the weekend, and maybe we can hook up for coffee on Monday.
I've been lurking every day, so it's nice to see the old faces (and welcome the new ones!)
Have a great day!
L.

Good morning everyone!

Ali ~ WOW, girl, you have done so well. Look at all of the weight you have lost. What an accomplishment!!! I hope you get all of your work done, and have a great weekend! You should be very proud of yourself!! :)

Hi Lola! We have missed you!

Well, I have been OP all week, and my WI is tomorrow morning, I hope to do well. On my way to losing the 10 pounds I have gained back. It feels good to be in control again. As I reflect, I can't believe how I was eating...Burger King...McD's...hotdogs....pizza, man, what was I thinking!!

Not many plans this weekend. Anyone else have exciting plans? It is still raining and cold here, what I wouldn't give for some nice warm, sunny weather!!!

Well, better get some work done.....:)

Good Morning!
 

Hi Ali ~ I am so excited for you! It seems like forever until I make lifetime. Convocation is a huge deal! Congrats on making it through college and welcome to the post-graduate world.

Lola ~ hello again! Glad to see all is well with you. WAY TO GO on maintaining lifetime. Hopefully I'll get to work for ww one day too!

Tonya ~ Good morning. It is amazing to look back when you slack off a bit. I went through that when I re-joined WW this time. I had lost about the same amount before and gained all of it back. At least you are reflecting before it was out of hand (like me). I know now that I have to be somewhat strict in order to stay on tract. Keep it up and you'll be back down in no time!

I don't have any major plans this weekend. I'm helping a friend move on Saturday but that is about it. I've decided to wait until Tuesday morning to test if AF hasn't shown her face. I called the doctor and she told me to test and if I'm not pregnant then I'll take some blood test to figure out what is going on. I went to bed at 10 last night and woke up at 6:45 this morning and was still tired. yuk! I guess I'll know soon but the waiting is terrible!

Anyway...hi to all out there! I'll check in later
Kay

hi girls
 

sorry to have been lurking and not posting but i'm quite busy with work and i'm trying to be seen doing proper work and not chatting to you guys cos i've got my first year appraisal thing coming up soon!
ali - hooray on lifetime!
i'm doing my best to keep my points low today because BF is taking me out to an excellent french restaurant tonight. yum. i've already decided i'm going to be good and stick to onion soup for a starter. but the bread there is delicious and it's going to be so hard to not eat the entire basket by myself!!
a big hello to everyone, sorry i can't stay longer, hopefully chat more on monday (or later today if i get a chance).

kirsty

GUESS WHAT.... Emma's first tooth broke through yesterday. We are so excited!!! She hasn't been too cranky at all either!!

Had dinner last night and ate fries. Oh well. I am not too concerned. Seeing the grandparents was hard, but I made it through.

Emma and Mom day tomorrow... but it is supposed to rain. Thats no fun! We will visit dad at work, and maybe bring a lunch for him... also she is going to WI with me. The ladies love her there!

Not much else new with me... need to get back to work. Chat more later!

Vacation!!!
 

I'm on vacation all next week and the 11th so I don't konw how much I will post. We will be home until the 7th when we head to Durango. I won't be able to post today b/c we are moving floors at work. What a hassle. My boss is a stress case and is taking it out on us. Not fun! Anyway, hubby and I plan to religiously work out next week and hopefully I can keep it up after we come back! Have a great weekend if I don't type atcha sooner.

Trish: I PM'd you! Check them please!!!

Brenda.... WE ARE GOING TO MISS YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Belle... I second you on the Friday thing!! YAHOOOO

Stacy... I can't wait to hear the whole after the fact story of you wedding. The morning of I was on the internet at 5:00am because I couldn't sleep. I was posting here at 3FC... Funny huh... that was 3 years ago!!!

I have been SUPER hungry again this week. Hate that! I feel like I will gain if I stay this hungry! Ohhh, gotta run to a meeting that I am holding... Oooops!

Not even lunchtime.
 

Kier - I just emailed you and now read where you are going - have FUN and enjoy your party girl!!!

Jen - can this day go by fast enough?? Yikes.

Well, I think I am going to bail out early for lunch - get a sub and go to A&B sound to get my b/f a Tony Bennett cd. He was looking for it yesterday but couldn't find it - i thought he could use some pampering!! Hey wait, I could use some pampering too. Perhaps I will buy myself a Cd??? after all, I have been OP all week. That must countfor something!?

Yikes, what a crummy day. I just met a girl though who I totally like who is inthe same boat as me - gets treated like a trash secretary b/c she is young and female - doesn't matter that we are university educated and get paid too much to do others crapwork. Oh well, that's life as a girl I guess.

Well, better sign off then......have to run a document up a few floors.....well, the bright side is I'll take the stairs and burn a few calories!

Belle (trying to not be pessemistic!)

:D :D

long time no post
 

So, I went grocery shopping this morning. I had about 8 things on my list. WELL $140 later I walked out with about 8000 things! Of course $30 of that was for a case of formula...but still........$140! I am a sucker for impulse buying. I hate it, and dh really hates it.

I've got a yummy recipe for you:

Snicker style dessert bars

2 cups vanilla or chocolate reduced fat icecream

1 cup light cool whip

1/4 cup crunchy peanut butter

1 box fat free pudding (vanilla or chocolate)

Let icecream and whip cream sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes

in a chilled bowl beat whip cream, icecream, peanut butter and pudding mix until smooth (about 5 minutes)

freeze in a 8*8 dish until solid (2 hours at least)

cut into 8 squares 3 points per square

Enjoy!! (I got this recipe at my last weight watchers meeting)

Anyhoo, have a great op day all!

Angie

bought Bridget Jones soundtrack as a treat to self.

Yay me!! I bought something for ME!

Angie your recipe sounds YUM!

Good For you Belle!

I can't wait to hit my 30 pound mark. I am going to splurge and get a new outfit (dh doesn't know this yet HA!) I have another 10.5 pounds to go. Hopefully by August 1.

Enjoy the cd, what songs are on it? (Havn't seen movie yet)

ANgie

I ate too much!!
 

I covinced DF to take me to Hometown Buffet and I pigged out!! Now I'm miserable! Go figure!!
Trish: How are you doing?
Belle: Way to go! You deserve a treat!! That's what I told myself when I ate a piece of carrot cake. Too bad it was almost too sweet!! :eek: !!
Well, I have to get back to work!!

Stacey
 

I think I can safely say that we have ALL done that. and it is when you are done, full, feeling sick, and wishing you hadn't eaten so much, that it clicks.....

It isn't worth it! :)

Don't beat yourself up about it, get back on the wagon. I did that this weekend with cake...I think I literally ate at least half of it. I felt SO sick afterwards....but I am sure I will be tempted to do it again.

Anyhoo, don't worry about it.
(hugs)
Angie

Still sick. Gained .4. Ate Chinese for lunch. Head hurts. Can't concentrate.

And that's basically been my day. My boss told me I could go home, but I have this stupid work ethic and I really want to get this story I'm working on done. Tonight our publisher is having a dinner for all the Virginia Press Association winners (that includes me :D), and I'm kind of obligated to go. Hey, it's a free meal and I want to see what her house looks like!

Brenda: Have a good vacation!
Ali: How exciting!
Jen: Good look with the teething event!

Hi to everyone I missed!

I tell you, girls, I'm feeling like I'm NEVER going to break through this plateau. I've been at this point for nearly four months now and it's driving me crazy. Maybe I'd do better if I kept at my journal better, but I'm watching my points, drinking water and exercising when I can. I'll try to be religious about my journal for a week and see if that helps.

Jeez, even when I'm sick I don't lose.

OH GOD
 

I was sent this URL to look at - this is the company I used to work at and my b/f still works at. Apparantly they are big @ssholes in New Zealand! If you have a minute, check it out!

Kim - you'll break it - don't give up!

Belle

OK, this day is almost over FINALLY.... just an hour and 1/2 to go! YAHHHHH... Hubby is on beeper duty tonight and this weekend. That usually blows our weekend, cuz we get stuck with all the crappy beeps. He also has to work tomorrow and Sunday.... YUCKKKK...

Kim... maybe you need to do something different to get losing. Don't eat out as much, drink less soda, exercise more... you may be doing something that you aren't aware of. I say, evaluate your week. Write everything down. Then compare it to your last month and see what has been holding you back! GOOD LUCK and we are roooot a tooooting for you!! :)

Belle... how is the sound track????

Stacey... we went to dinner last night and I ate fries and 2 onion rings. My tummy ached all night. I wondered why I did it too, but then realized it was because I wanted to... Sometimes I just have to do it to beat the craving!!!

Kieri... When Emma gives me a big toothy grin, I will post the pic!! right now the tooth is too small to see in a pic, plus she has this thing where she likes to stick her tongue out!! Crazy kid!!

Tonya... the sun came out finally this afternoon... hope it stays!!! This morning on the news they said that out of 31 days in May, 23 were rainy. UNBELIEVABLE! It has been sooo gloomy here is makes me sick!!!

Well, I gotta boogy... Have a great weekend all!

Hi All!!! I went to WI this AM-gained 1.2 BUT I haven't weighed in in three weeks AND it's TOM so I don't feel too bad about it....I need to be really good this week though-more wedding dress shopping next weekend...

Kim-Hang in there-at least you aren't gaining, right? Not a lot anyhow...

Jen-Congrats on emma's tooth!! That's so cute...

Ali, Tx Aggie and anyone else close to Lifetime-I'm Jealous!!! Sometimes I feel like I'll never get there!!!

Today at the meeting we talked about feeling overwhelmed with the thought of having to count points for the rest of our lives...I hope it is a little easier on maintenance.....not that I'll ever get there the way I'm going...anyhow-I'm done feeling sorry for myself-gotta hang in there and eat healthily!!! Bye for now-lori
