Here I am Again
 

Hey Everyone,

Here I am Again LOL :lol: I was getting on to tell ya'll that I drank 128 oz. (Yes you heard right 128 oz. of water) yesterday. I've already had 120 oz today I'm so proud of myself!!!! :smug: I've been writing everything thing I've eaten down :write: I hope the scales will be good to me Tuesday I need it :goodscale I have to go have a tooth pulled Tuesday at 2:00 p.m. I dread that but I know I will be better off with out a tooth than in constant pain. I'm having an Eggplant Parmesan tonight for supper. :eating2: I'm having Corn and Green Beans to go with it. It seems like all day today everyone is trying to get me off program After supper I will only have 5 points left so I guess I will have to drink alot more water . I've got to go do my Weight watchers dvd and work out on my gazelle to earn a small little 4 points. I will talk to you all later I just thought I would get on and tell ya'll how much water I've drank. I will probably hit 150 oz tonight. I will be in the potty all night lol

Yippee!! Drink that Water!!!!
 

Jenn I am so proud of you for your water intake! I know it sounds so ctrazy but that is a huge part of losing weight. I used to hate water and now it is all I ever drink. I drink all day long. Usually between 125oz-200oz! And about going to the potty--once your body gets used to the increase in water you wont be running there as often. I could go on and on about the benefits of water but I think you have it down pat! :) I think you are going to do great at your weigh in. Just keep focused and think healthy!!
I dont have much time to post any more but I will try to get back here later. I hope all of our group is doing well!

Still on track!
 

Three days and still going strong. Thats an accomplishment for me unfortunatley. lol I wish I could say that I am pretty good for at least a week or two but usually within a day or two I'm starting to eat bad.

This time though I am eating whatever I want, BUT, counting the points. I think that will make a difference. If I use all my points, thats fine but I at least am eating what I am in the mood for.

I drank all my water for the past 3 days also. Kudos to all of you who are drinking your share. I am in the potty about 3 times a night Jenn too, so I'll think of you. lol

Well, I'm off to get ready for bed. Talk to you all tomorrow!
Vicki

My Motivation
 

Hello Ladies, :wave:

Sumaria and Vicki- Welcome to New Creations. I look forward to your posts. :grouphug:
Jennh-Keep up the good work on the water front. Water isn't only good for weight loss, there are many other benefits :) .
Kae-I'm happy to hear that your grandma is doing well.
Lori and Shawn- Glad to see you two are working on your goals despite the valleys.
Savin-Where are you :mag: Steph-You still here? :mag:
If I missed anyone :?: I apologize.

Has anyone tried Tuna Creations? I bought some Monday and it is awesome. It is 1 pt. per serving. You can have the whole thing for about 2.5 points. I mixed it with gourmayo 1pt. and mixed in rice.
I also suffer from the winter blues especially between the holidays Christmas-Valentine's Day :( I know that one day I will not feel like this but for now I don't really know what to do about it.
I don't know if I'm the only one but I find motivation by reading success stories and looking at before and after pictures of others on WW. I wanted to share a site that is full of success... http://www.wwfamilyforum.com/
Most of the people on this site has lost a min. of 100 lbs. I think you all might like it.

Gonna go for the night.. type @ ya later :comp:

What a Fall
 

Hey Everyone,

I just got back from Babysitting. I had a very bad fall today over at my aunt's house. :( I slipped on the floor and hit her hearth with my left shin I have a hole in it, I hit my eyebrow on a piece of wood on a calico cupboard, and I have a swollen (Not broken thank goodness ) arm at my elbow where I tried to protect my face with my arm I hit the calico cupboard with my arm and shattered the glass which I cried my eyes out because I broke her cupboard. :cry: She said it didn't matter because she didn't even buy it and that things like that could be replaced but I couldn't be. I'm just glad I'm ok.But my arm feels horrible It is hurting pretty bad but I know it's not broken. and I got a rug burn from the fall. I look like I've been in a fight LOL :lol: I have only drunk 24 ounces of water so far today but I will at least try to get in 96 ounces. I was all shook up after I fell and I'm just now getting over it lol. I will talk to you all later I'm going to hold ice on my arm maybe that will help it. I have a bruise the size of a wide mouth jar on my arm. Talk to you all later. :gossip:

P.s I drank 168 oz. of water last night! :eek: :smug:

I'm happy about weight loss!!!
 

I just had to post. I am so happy. December 31st, 2004 I weighed 276. I re-started WW Jan. 2nd. Today I weighed in 268, lost 8 pounds in a week. I know that weight loss won't continue at this rate but it is exciting. I am hoping to lose 10-15 pounds a month. Thanks for letting me rave:)
Happy day to all:)

Oh no Jenn, that sounds painful. So sorry to hear about your fall. But your aunt is right, your more important then the cabinet. Although I'm sure you felt really bad. lol I've done that where I slip and fall and think, geez, how the heck did I do that. I hope your arm feels better soon. Good job on that water!!! I have to get to mine today, I hate plain old water so some days it takes me awhile to get started. But I'm trying to get it in everyday.

Also, good luck on your 8 pound weight loss EMTChick (sorry, not sure your name). That's so awesome!!! The first week is always a pretty good one for me too, I can't wait to weigh in on Monday. Keep up the good work!!

Vicki

Thanks for the encouragement.
Kimberly

Tgif!!!
 

Jenn ohh I hope you heal quickly girl! I am very prone to falling down and I hate it! I am just glad you werent seriously injured. Feel better soon! :)
Christalynn Thanks so much for the website! Makes me feel so motivated when I see it can be done! I have never tried tuna creations but my hubby is a big tuna fan so I will check it out.
Kimberly 8 pounds! :bravo: :cp: what a great start!!! :high: heres to continued success!!
Vicki I agree with you about being able to eat whatever we want as long as we stay in our points range. The idea of giving up certain foods makes me want them even more.
Kae I loved your idea about the rubberband on your wrist! :lol: I still have to remind myself not to eat--usually when I am bored--I may have to give my own wrist a snap! LOL!!!
And to the rest of our wonderful group I hope all is well and you are doing great!!
I have had a good day so far. I will be back later with a recap. :grouphug:

Jennh- I hope you heal soon. I am also accident prone. I fall down my stairs outside every winter. I've already had my tumble for this year :lol:
Kimberly-That's an awesome number to lose in a week. Feels great doesn't it? :bravo: :cb:
Vicki-I hate to be told what I can and can't eat. As long as points are counted and I am honest with myself I am successful.

Take care all. I'll be back later

signaturesI
 

I love the counters in the signatures but I couldn't figure out how to do one, anyone want to help me? lol

Also, I went to Friendly's for dinner and got a salad. A crispy chicken salad but I had the points and I was ok with having it. PLUS, I didn't have a big ole sunday like I usually do but i didn't want to deprive so I had a scoop of ice cream. I feel pretty good about my decisions.

Have a great night!
Vicki

Well Here I am Again
 

Hey Everyone,

It's 1:23 a.m. I'm about to drift off to sleep and I thought I would get on and tell everyone thanks for wishing me to get better. I am sore all over my left leg and right arm and right eyebrow I have bruises on my left shin it's just small, on my right arm the size of a baseball now, and rug burn on my Right leg to go with the left leg and right arm. I also have a bruise on my head on my right eyebrow the size of a quarter. LOL I look like I've been fighting and I got beat. :lol: I drank 96 oz. today I've been to shocked about falling I couldn't get anymore in. I better go I'm about to fall asleep. See you all later on today. :dz: Bye and Good Luck at weigh in's :goodluck:

Trackeres
 

Well, if you click on the 3fatchicks logo on one of our trackers it will take you there. Then pretty much it is self explanitory....when you get to the part of the putting on....go to were it says any 3fatchicks forums...right click your mouse there and select all and copy or past it to your signature. Let me know if it works. I know what you mean 'cause I had problems before with them. :?:
It is really exciting to see how many people we have....Jenn, Steph and Vicki are new that is cool...... :D
I am very glad to have such encouragement and to see everyone making such progress. :grouphug:
I also like the idea of the rubberband! :thanks:
I hope you feel better today, Jenna.
What is the dvd from WW like? Any good? I keep thinking I should get eTools as well but $29.95 for three months is more than I want to spend when I already get the magazine and go to the meetings and everything else. Plus if I want to buy the dvds for yoga and WATP. Luckily I don't have to pay for a fitness center! :) I have one availible at work that has weights and bikes and teadmills and cross trainers. I was thinking it would be nice to put some old recipes in the etools and see how the points work out so I would gage them but again the $29! UGH :?: So many choices! I guess I could try it for the month that they give you and go from there. What do you guys think?
I was watching people at work for the last few weeks...maybe it is just the new year or something but there are lots of people on "diets"! :lol: I'd like to think I was inspiring but I am sure it is probably the new year. :o Anyway people have been commenting on how much I have lost! :D Makes me feel good! And then they ask me what I do. Lots of people think it is Atkins....but I tell them about WW and the two programs they have to choose from and why I have chosen the Flex plan. I have come to realize that I am just a :ink: at heart and love to :eating2:! :lol: I also don't really like to :workout: ! But I will try to make more of an effort. I just have to learn to like it and know that it is essential for my goal to be met! I know it would be better for my health. :p
Well, I hope you all have a wonderful day! I am off for the next 4, :yes: four days! :dancer: :gift: So I will stay in touch and can't wait to hear from you all and how things are with you all! :D
I am off to clean the house and do laudry and hey......if I am really ambitious I will get some sewing done! :lol:

Happy Saturday!
 

Hey everyone I hope you are having a great weekend. Mine is going very well. I just finished a nice hot bowl of veggie soup. I love that stuff and make it alot. I guess it is because my entire family will eat it, it is low/no points and also it goes along way and doesnt cost a fortune. What could be better? I think it is because I am eating low point things that I dont get all my required points for the day. But I do try and I am getting satisfied with what I eat. I dont feel deprived or hungry at all. I am still considering the core program but really havent made up my mind just yet. As long as the scale is going down every week and I am feeling good I am not going to stress about it.
Shawn I have also considered the e-tools but the $$ is a big factor for me too. I am just going to keep on doing what I have been doing and as long as it works I will save the $$ for new clothes! I get alot of information, ideas and recipies sitting right here. I dont know if you have checked this site out yet, Jenn mentioned it in one of her threads. Its very helpful with WW. http://www.dwlz.com/ you can request points values and there is many recipies, tips etc.
Now I am off to do dishes! Have a great evening everyone!

Wow what a supper!!!!
 

Hey Everyone,

How are you all? I'm doing good just got through eating supper. Boy was it good! :eating2: :hungry: :T I made Mexican Eggs, and my mom made Homemade Hashbrowns, and Toast. 7 points for what I had. :T Boy it was good!!!!! I'm doing home ec. in homeschool and I love to cook. I've only drank 48 oz of water so far today :mad: I will try to get 96 oz. in by the time I get in bed. only 2 more mugs full I'm sure I can do that. I've still got 10 points left for tonight. I will probably have some hot chocolate and a half a cup of skim milk for 1.5 points Then I will have my 24 oz of milk in for the day I've had 6 fruits and vegetables today and no flex points this week! :D :smug: I'm very proud of myself this week. I'm still sore from the fall my arm is still swollen and my head hurts to the touch. Leg hurts too but not as bad. I guess I had better go See you all later! :goodluck: at weigh in's this week!!!!!!!!!
