This isn't your first rodeo with losing weight is it? That's fine, this group is full of people who have been around more than once, the difference is we're committing to ourselves to make this our last journey with losing weight.
Anyone can stop in ask questions, answer questions, or just check in. We are here to support each other, encourage each other, and help each other out on this journey.
We are a group from Weight Watchers who wants to continue this thread, but as Weight Watchers is deleting their boards, we are starting here.

I was considering calling it Under Lana's Tree but maybe not yet...... put in todays food/exercise and might just stop paying for the other plan. LanaCabana how appropriate. Just too hot to knit and short dog walks tonight. Lana thank you for the extra pillow fluffing option. It has been a crappy week. Will be in the hammock under that tree snoring soon with Tillie.... Wishing all a good evening.11

Good Saturday morning, some fool woke dog up at 345 so I am awake even earlier. Yikes. She is taken care of and so I will go back to sleep. Errands and then with any luck more sleep. Thinking of next weeks meals and it went no further. So nice I can write crap in the messages. Reminds me of the word that Johnny Fever on WKRP got him fired for saying and WKRP let him..... booger!!

Good morning everyone—
Sara
Thank you for getting us started. Again thank you for making us a home here on MFP. I think that we should keep the name Serial Starters for a month at least, until the transition is complete, WW is dead and gone, and any people in need from WW land can easily find us. We were quite an institution over there for years now.
DH uses MFP, and it was cool to see that he is a friend of mine. I forgot that I signed up last fall sometime. Maybe once we are all settled he will come by and say hello.
Ever since he was a little kid his nickname is Cookie, and he is very much into Cookie Monster. We have over a hundred Cookie Monsters here at the house on a shelf. Anyway his avatar/photo is a screen of Cookie Monster sitting at his computer and he’s upset because it is telling him to delete cookies! Cute.
Waves to anyone who stops by later. Make healthy choices today!
I’ll stop by in the evening.
Everyone have a good Saturday~~

Not seeing anyone on WW either, so maybe the weekend is so crazy.... Monday may be different. My dr wants me to get my BP checked at drug stores, so off I go - BP was insanely high, helps that I stopped breathing halfway through it..... I have a BP machine at home and had a really nice nap today and decided to try BP machine, after all I cannot be any more relaxed and #s were okay. Just had fried rice with extra veg. Tracking here and WW to see which I like better. Tea Kettle is on to make the only mug of tea I have had all day. Wishing all a great evening.

Time to say goodnight everyone~~
For anyone interested, the General Daily Thread board or GDT has made quite a wonderful home for refugees from the WW boards at GDT ExPats on Pro Boards, if anyone (Serials, visitors, & lurkers) would like to have a variety of places to go.

Lana, who ate too much chocolate today. It's gone now.5 -

I hope you can get a photo of Tillie soon. I miss her cute little face!

I found our group and bookmarked it. Will have to add a photo soon! (Mimzy)7

Mimzy - welcome!! Hope your weekend is going beautifully.
I have pictures with just file # on them I have no clue which is which, at least this is Tillie.3 -
Hi, I just stumbled in here. Hope I'm not crashing the party. I have done WW 3 times, last time I reached my GW and immediately creapt back up. It's been several years since, different things tried, even 2 yrs of 5-6 days a week at the gym... Which has since closed and being in a small town, not many other choices. I am trying/struggling to get myself back on track...MFP is helping, as far as I believe it's keeping me from gaining... The losing part is coming ever so slow... Less than snails pace... Just popping in... Hoping to find somewhere to help and give me a kick in the *kitten*....17
-
Arnie - welcome and this is not a closed group so no party crashing. We like to keep each other stay on the road. Please stop by and post.
I have downloaded Tillie pictures, and one really "icky" one with me in it, and I cant figure out how to delete it, so only pictures of dog/yarn projects from now on.

Thanks @Tilliesmommy1. I've been logging not only food, but also my Steps in a group... Not doing much... One day, the heat/rain is going to have to break and then, I'll be out of excuses... Thanks again for the welcome8

Good Sunday Morning, Waiting for paper. Last paper delivery guy made so much noise I always knew when it was here. This one was quiet and now the paper last couple of days has been very late, so I may be getting another delivery person. Dog did not wake me for paper and I got to sleep in almost an hour which I will gladly take. She is up, medicated and fed. Have the window open and fan to try and air out place. Groceries/ house work typical Sunday. Has to be done. Will stop by later. Wishing all a great Sunday.6

Welcome Arnie!
Hello Sara -
Waves to anyone who swings by later.
Let's think of a Question of the Day for tomorrow, OK? Something to keep us on our respective weight loss programs.

I have had some many changes in my life lately (some of them truly petty but they add up) that I really just want to run to food, which as we all know is not always the answer. SO...... because you asked Lana here is a week question - you did ask, right??
QOTD: What will you do this week to keep focused?
AOTD: I am not in the mood to jump over the moon, so I will focus on drinking more water and less tea/coffee.
Found a blend of frozen veg called "fiesta blend" which has 2 kinds of beans(white and pinto),green beans, broccoli and bell pepper and I thought what a nice side cold salad....5 -
Was also thinking on dog walk that maybe we can have a month long thread and then name it "name of thread1" or "name of thread-month" and then update each month....???4

Why is WW deleting their boards?!3
-
They are not "deleting" their message boards, they are replacing them with an "instagram" kind of system that does not promote interaction in the same way.1

I like the question of the week. It's good to have it for a week.
AOTW: (have to think) I will be transitioning from nice house in North Carolina w some stress of shutting down house/flying on Wednesday, then back to stinky NYC and one day of work on Friday.
AOTW: No alcohol and don't buy trouble food. Eat healthy. I am not going to count points or calories this week--too much to ask of myself. Not with DH around, grumbly.
I like that photo of Tillie!

Yes, yes and yes! I was looking at all my previous attempts with this app and I didn't even realize this, but my first attempt was in 2011 and my weight was 22 pounds lighter than I am now! It's time!!29
-
AOTW: Hmmmm.... Not sure how much I am ready to devote.... But, (maybe) cut down on sweets... Not ready to give up soda quite yet3

Sara!
That's great news. How did you find out on a Sunday? Online medical link-in to Dr. office or lab? Well, regardless......super.
I was thinking of you early this morning. I get almost daily emails from Michael's and A. C. Moore art and craft supply stores. Do you have them out there in Sacaramento? Anyway, for some reason this morning I actually LOOKED at the ads, and they had some interesting stuff on promotion. So somehow I thought of you---maybe take yourself to one of these stores the next time it's time for a Sara-reward. They were showing pretty colored glass jars and all sorts of things to do and make or play with. Coloring books, crafts. If you were to wander through a store like that, maybe something would catch your eye.

That sounds like the perfect kind of reward. I've been thinking about taking up coloring...I kinda prefer kid color books as opposed to the adult ones. Is that odd? Just brings back good memories for me...0 -
A small NSV for me, today... I put on a pair of my BF'S basketball shorts (he's 15# lighter than me) and they fit pretty good. They used to be pretty snug. It's small... But it's something... I just gotta keep trying... It's a struggle17
-
Lana - I may as well sign over my paycheck to Michael's and I try to stay away. I have adult coloring books and color pencils (I will get a child's book next time the print/pattern is sometimes too small......). Will debate this further.
Absolutely great NSV Arnie - those victories last longer than a number on a scale. Keep up the good work.
Time for brain to shut down for the night. Wishing all a good evening.0 -
Thank you Tilliesmommy... The scale gets the best of me more often than not... So, these little things make me feel better.
Have a good night.. Thanks for the support1 -
Good Monday Morning, Remembering QOTW and will focus on water and less tea/coffee. Weighed in today (usually Tuesday) and same as 2 weeks ago, so that was a nice reward. Looking for a couple people from WW to post this week now that the weekend is over. Will be lurking from work. Wishing all a great Monday4
