hi all

i was so happy so see some activity in these parts again. I was beginning to wonder if everyone had run away!
I'm halfway through my second week OP, and all's well. I lost 3.5lbs the first week, and was thrilled! I'm not even going to think about how many more lbs Ihave to drop. Baby steps.
I had a good weekend, though. I was invited to a party saturday evening, and was told it wasn't dinner, but that there'd be nibbles. I know me and nibbles, so I ate dinner before I went. Allowed enough points to have a few glasses of wine. The nibbles looked wonderful, adn I know pre-WW I would have taken up residence alongside it and aimlessly eaten all evening. You know what?!?! I didn't have a single thing. Because I wasn't hungry and I was in control. Then Sunday, I went to a bbq. Had a small burger, laid off the chips, and even turned down the chocolate cake. I don't particularly care for chocolate cake, but any other time, would've accepted a chunk and wolfed it down.
Before anyone warns me about depriving myself, etc, the reason these two ocasions felt so great was because I MADE THE DECISIONS and stuck to them. Yeah me!
The way i see it, these 'epiphany moments' are as important, and as much a reward as seeing the scales go down!

Enough rambling... how's everyone doing?
Tracey -- let me add my congrats on becoming a leader. How's it been? Once I get my life in control and reach my weight goals, I'd like to help others. I think it serves to also help keep you honest and on track!
Lil Miss -- did Sunday remain an OP day for you? I find weekends the hardest just because I don't have structured days..... add a bit of socialising and it can get out of control!

well, hope this new activity keeps up.
later

Default Room for one more?

Hello - - -

Is there room for one more? I just rejoined WW hopefully for the last time last Friday. So far so good. I'm very proud. I wanted to get out and walk more tonight but, it's so icy in spots from the snow on the ground that I don't want to break my neck.

Good luck to all!

Hi everybody!

MySons3 - welcome to our group!

I tried my new exercise video: T-Tapp. It is made by a woman that helps models look better (woo-ee). Anyway, it is supposed to take inches off. I did the two introductory videos yesterday morning, and am still sore tonight, so it must have done something! You are supposed to do it 4 days in a row, then 14 days in a row, but I think I'll put that off for now as I'm fighting off a cold bug, and my hubby has been tossing and turning at night, keeping me up too, so I'm very tired. I have decided, though, it's time to make that last push, lose those last few pounds, and tighten up my tummy so I can fit back into size 8 pants after many years.

Jess - Sunday was a great OP day for me! I do so much better when I've caught up on some sleep (took a nap Sat.), and have real time to plan ahead and exercise. Knowing I would have Mon. off was so liberating! My hardest time is when I get home from work in the afternoon (I'm a teacher and get home around 4:00). I eat lunch at 11:15, so am tired, cranky, and in search of comfort food when I get home with the 3 kids. The thing that has worked best for me is to have some low point soup made, and that takes the edge off for me. Congrats on having a great couple of weeks! WW has a great plan and is easy to live with as no foods are out of bounds. Great job staying on plan at your parties! It does really feel good when you can stay in control.

MYSons3 - I have the same problem with exercise as it gets dark early and I can't get out for my walks until my husband gets home, you guessed it, after dark. Did you ever think about purchasing a couple of exercise videos for yourself for when you don't want to go out in the cold? Just an idea...

Finallly a little action in this room. I enjoyed talking to just lil but it is great to see more people. Being a leader is different but it a good way. I am subbing my first meeting tonight. It should go good. I have already presented this meeting at my training. I just need to slow down when I talk. Everyone should like they are in the right mind frame.


Handling those temping situation is much a milestone than losing on the scale because it the long run you know you can control food and not let it control you.

Yes, Tracey, I agree. You have been a great support to me, but it is nice to see more action on our board.

Well....how did your first meeting as a leader go????

My progress is stymied again as I was sick with a bad cold and the worst case of pinkeye you can imagine! (The fun part: the dr. wanted to know why I had lost six pounds! I love that!! Of course I said WW, and she said she is on it too and loves it.) Anyway, I have to catch up on my sleep. I have been journaling again, which really helps; especially to make sure I drink all of my water and eat all my fruits and veggies. As soon as my health is back on track I will add exercising again for that last push!!

Wow Tracey, you got busy fast! With all that practice you'll have those little stumbles ironed out quick. Sounds like dancing was a blast. I'm better now, but not before adding a nasty stomach virus to the list (or I ate bad tuna, not sure). Anyway, I was sick most of the weekend. We had uncharacteristically warm weather here this weekend; only needed a sweatshirt outside, which is unheard of at the end of Jan. in these parts! I did get outside a little on Sunday afternoon, and felt much better having soaked up a little sunshine.

Gotta go. I have all new classes tomorrow. The second half of our school year is officially starting after a teacher's workshop day today. Better get some sleep so I can learn all of those new names!

My classes switched over to so i got 350 new names to remember. Last night meeting got cancelled until next week it was a communication problem between the contact person and WW but it will be fine I will be ready. They are hoping to get a traditional meeting set up in my area soon. I got to sub 2 more weeks on wednesday

We're home on our first snow day of the year; actually the main thing they're worried about is freezing rain. It'll give me a little breathing space.

Tracey, 350 names to remember; you've got me beat! I keep my chorus, so know them, and have one section of 7th graders who I had last year, so just 3 classes of 6th graders to learn (about 65 kids). How's the weather in Maine this week?

Good news! I just got my cholesterol test back, and my total went from 208 to 152. I got my LDL down to 73 (it was in the high range before and needs to be below 130). I am on a small dose of cholesterol lowering drug, but I give WW most of the credit. Thank you WW!!!

ps. Sorry for posting twice in a row, but I had to crow!

We got 6 inches of snow and freezing rain last night so I get a free day today. I get all the kids in the school for a half of the year there is a little of 700 kids grades 3-5. i started working out at the gym yesterday. I am sore even though I have been working out for 8 months. The guy i am seeing is writing me a working program to tone my body. I threw in tanning and I will be a hottie this summer

Isn't it great to like what you see in the mirror? Saw a teacher who has been out on maternity leave for 5 months, and she was very surprized to see so much of me gone! That is fun.

What is a working program? Is it a routine you do with weights?

I finally got out for a walk today after a couple of weeks of not feeling up to par and taking a break from exercise. The weather finally calmed down here; it got up above 50 yesterday, then fell like a rock and brought a lot of wind. We lost electricity from 7 pm to 4 am last night. A beautiful, cold crisp and sunny day for walking today. Soon I'll start that new video that is supposed to tone me up. I tried signing up for a gym last summer, but didn't even make it there for more than one trial. It's not for me in this point in my life. If I have to get in the car to drive there, I won't make it. It's lazy, but honest. I think taking care of the three kids takes up a tremendous amount of time right now. Would still like to join a gym sometime. What time of day do you typically go?

Wow, that is convenient having a fitness trainer for a boyfriend. Does he help keep you from slacking off? I'll bet he's quite the hunk; never met an ugly trainer!!

Have fun at your Super Bowl party. I'm sure you'll cut back on points the rest of the week and easily make up for it. It sounds like you're getting to be the wild party girl LOL! Anyway, we're just staying home for the Superbowl and I ate low in points for brkfst. and lunch and bought some baked chips so I don't feel deprived later. I love Superbowl type snack foods, part of the problem! At least I now have some stratagies to counteract that!
