St Pat's challenge
 

HI again I apologize I typed Garden addict instead of gardening sorry. Thanks everyone for welcoming me. I forgot to ask what is St Pat's challenge? Dee

We've been doing a St. Patricks weight loss challenge but there is only one week left. Then we might go to an Easter challenge. Check out the thread titled "ST. Patricks Day Challenge Anyone" under the WW at Home forum and it will explain what it is. Hope to see you enter the next challenge.

Psyched
 

Just had to Brag. I lost 2#s this week and I feel psyched. Quite an accomplishment for me since I have been floundering for the last couple of months!

Talk to you later.

SHARON....YOU GO GIRL.....THAT'S THE WAY TO DO IT!!!

got a little lost
 

Had a bit of trouble getting in once they changed the format. Just wanted to check in and say hi.
Pat

Hi Pat glad you are back I had trouble getting in also.
I am a having a little trouble today I am really hungry now I had too many points for lunch so I am finished for the day so I thought I would get on line and see how everyone is doing.
I won't do that again I was hungry for the new Big and Tasty at McDonalds even though I didn't have the mayo on it it still had a lot of pointsI will prepare myself better tomorrow. I felt a little bad because I only lost 1 lb. this week Dee

Hi Guys!
 

Sharon~~~Way to go on losing those 2 pounds. You're on a roll now!

Pat~~~ Glad you found your way back to us. Hope you are doing OK.

Blondie~~~ NEVER feel bad about losing a pound! You are moving in the right direction. Enjoy that Big and Tasty, no guilt, move on:D

Gotta stop typing for tonight. just got home from work and can't keep my eyes open (that's scarey when you're driving 80 mph~LOL). ~~~Sil

Staying Focused
 

Thanks for all the congrats you've sent my way. It feels good to be back. I actually wake up and think "did I eat good yesterday or am I going to see a weight gain?" Then as I wake up a little more I think "no, I'm ok I ate well yesterday." It's a great feeling. I actually look forward to weighing myself in the morning.

Blondie- how did you make out yesterday? I stayed up in bed after I put the kids to bed. I was really tired but also I knew if I came downstairs I was going to eat something that I didn't need. I had enough points for the day. Sometimes I just need to outsmart that eating monster!

Sharon, Thanks for asking I did well I had a few pretzels and I eas still in my ooints and then I went to sleep and today is a new day.Hope all is well with you just have to do it day by day.
I think the winter has just given me a little of the doldrums but spring is just around the corner. I am going to have a blueberry swirl bagel with some peanut butter on it that holds me for a long time . Keep up your good work Dee Gardening Addict thanks for the encouragement

Ready For Another Week?
 

Good Morning All,

How's everyone doing. I'm doing ok. Yesterday I decided to go on low carb for a week. I do that every once in awhile when I feel like I want a lot of food. It seems to be ok and I keep my weight off. But I'm going back to WW today because It restricts too many foods. But I did get that desire, to eat everything, out of my system.

Pat I'm glad your back with us.

Dena where are you haven't seen you around in awhile.

It's been pretty quite here maybe it's the weekend or a sign that we are all doing well.

Have a Great Day!

GOODMORNING EVERYONE....

Just a quick note that you might not be aware of...I love oatmeal and usually have it for breakfast...but came across the new Quaker Instant Oatmeal Nutrition for Woman...it'd delicious...3 pts. one point less then the regular envelope of oatmeal. My favorite is maple and brown sugar and then have Golden Brown Sugar which was terrific.

Thought you might all like to know that.

Didn't really do my weigh in today...was in a hurry, but will make it official tomorrow.

Be back later, just wanted to pass on this info.

Carla :)

Good Morning All :)

Things have been very slow on this thread lately. I guess we are all busy i at least hope that you are all doing well .

Sharon~~~Congratulations on losing ANOTHER 2 pounds this week. (saw it on the S.P. challenge) Good for you for hanging in there. many people have dropped out but you are sticking with it and losing each week. YOU GO, GIRL !!!!!!!:D

My final landscape plan is due in school on Thursday. Then I'll have 2 weeks to get out in the yard and work in the flower beds without guilt for not studing. I would rather be in the gardens working, than doing anything else. The day just seems to fly by when I'm outside. And I'm keeping my hands bust which means that I'm not eating when I'm not hungry. ( I tend to do that when I'm stuck inside. ) Now , if only the weather would cooperate~LOL.

Ya'll have a great day~~~Sil

GOODMORNING ALL.......:)

Well lost 1/2 lb for this week, happy but of course, was hoping for more, but will take it willingly.

Been OP all the way...so expected it to go faster, but not active so I' m being patient...I know I say it all the time, but it's like therapy lol, keeps me on my toes.

Alls well here and feelin good...congrats to all who have shedded those pounds...hang in there, spring is comin and we're going to take off our coats and everyone will be blown away when they see us...that alone is an insentive.

Any new recipes out there to share?...I need a tuna fish recipe, like a casserole for Friday's for Lent...any ideas?..
please share.

Take care everyone.

Carla :)

Good Morning,

Just a quick hello. I'm at the library with the kids and story time is almost over. Last night I felt like I needed to eat everything in sight and did. I don't know if it's a bad sign but I didn't even feel bad about it. Just figure I would do better today. I just have to watch that I don't backslide. But I'm back on the wagon again. I think it's TOM related. Have to go check the calendar. Atleast I went for my walk yesterday. I have work tonight and if I get off ealy enough I will go again tonight.

I'm going to my Mom'sd to visit her. My father had to go into the city and deal with taking his 90 year old brother off life support. I felt real guilty when I heard because I had been planning to visit him over the last year and never did. Well I'll have to let that one go. Just another painful lesson on not putting things off.

On a brighter note I just found out that we're getting a great deal of money back from taxes which will help me fix up the house and stop worrying about money so much.

Carla Congrats on your weight loss.

Gotta run. Talk to you later.

1 - Where is Dena? I miss the daily hug.

2 - Congrats on those who lost weight this week, I have been browsing this thread and the St Pat's Day challenge thread. I think it is great you guys are losing.

3 - Carla, I posted a lighter version of a tuna casserole on the seafood entree board, if you want to take a look. I probably have other tuna recipes so I might post another.

And finally 4 - I have been gaining weight for the last three weeks and yesterday I finally had enough. I actually counted my points from yesterday and realized I ate 50, count them, 50 points worth of food. I had my husband take me grocery shopping today so I could get back on track. So I thought I would write this down so it would keep me honest with myself. I enjoy reading all your post and feel glad when I see everyone losing weight, but I won't be really happy until I can read my own post with my weekly pound loss.

Well enough venting. Chat at you later.
