Happy 2015! New year blessings to all! If positive attitudes lead to negative lbs ( and they do) this group will be happy and lighter this year! Momma I love the graphic of what walking can do - it will get me on the move today since the ice has not reached us. It will be hard but not impossible to hit my goal for today of…

Barbie...Now is a great word for the new year! I may have to share it with you! Today is the only day we can control - yesterday is history and tomorrow is a wish! So I will combine it with my mantra - No Matter What...I will do this NOW! Alice

Good morning friends! The last day of 2014! Imagine where we will be this time in 2015 - thinner! Congrats Momma (Marie) on the loss! You are doing great! My scale also showed a loss this morning but I don't trust it! Saturday will tell! I tested out walking through our huge warehouse yesterday and only did half of it and…

Good morning! There are a lot of positive and energetic vibes going on on here this morning! Love it! Such inspiring people! I have some work to do before WI on Saturday - scale hop this morning shows a gain! Back to tracking all of those BLTs! In addition to this challenge of losing 20 lbs by Easter I am adding a personal…

Happy Monday morning! Back to work and back to much needed routine. I need to get back on track after using all of my weekly points (I am a WW'er) plus some over the weekend! Connie - aquazumba sounds like fun! Someday I will have the nerve to put this body back in a swimsuit! Here is my thought for today - No Matter What…

Good morning all - let me introduce myself...I am Alice - one of Marie's daughters. I have unofficially been a part of this challenge but now will be more active. Can't let my mom have all the fun! i have been following WW since Labor Day and have lost 30 lbs so if by Easter I can lose another 20 I will have met the goal…

For you Momma!

Momma...news flash - it is Friday! :D I did the scale hop this morning and yikes it is up a pound! Have only today to get it off by tomorrow's WW weigh in! Water,water,water and move it! Have a great day!

Hey Hey I found you! I will try to pop in and join the fun! I am very proud of you Mama! Yes Marie is my mom and she is awesome!

Felicia..have a wonderful time in Thailand. I look forward to hearing from you upon your return. Such an exotic place to. Enjoy it! We leave on Thursday for Alaska. I will share pics when we return. Caliecat (Momma) - I know you were disappointed this week but it is all accountable to your stressful week. It will come off…

Well here it is th last weigh in for our little group...hope you are pleased with your results. I am even though I am about 5 lbs short of where i hoped to be. But I know that i have done well and the fact that I bought all my new clothes in the Misses department today instead of the Plus sizes is so totally exciting! I…

Good evening...sorry I am late in checking in. Long day at work as usual. I was down only .8 today. A loss however is a loss. Only a few days left to the 15th and I think we have all done very well. Each of us should be proud of what we have done! I know I am! Now if I can just not blow it while on that ship! I am…

I think we are on week 12 or 13...lost count too! But it does not matter...we are still here and all doing great! I will have to find that Ken's salad dressing...I have been using the Ken's Honey Mustard Spritzer dressing...it is good. Now if they could just find a way to make Blue Cheese spray salad dressing! We went out…

Gee...thanks for the encouragement! :smooched:

Caliecat (Momma) - woohooo! congrats on your loss! I know the first two weeks on South Beach is tough..particulary for those like you who :heart: your bread and fruit. But the results are worth two weeks. I lost another pound this morning so that is great! Still have just over 5 lbs to lose in 21 days...not sure that will…

Good morning all... sorry I have not been online much...but it has just got crazy at work and I just dont have time or energy to get online when i finally make it home. And now I have a sore throat..hoping it is not strep! Oh my...enough of that whining! I lost 1.6 at WW wi this morning. That is good...at least I lost what…

Here I am! I had to work all day yesterday and had to be in early so I didnt get to go to WW and wi. But based on my home scale I gained again. I have hit that place where i cannot face another salad! I have been at this weight once before and I never got past it. but I am not giving up. Just have to find some other ways…

Riveraphx - well it certainly sounds like you were jet setting this past weekend! And a good time like that is totally worth a small gain. I am sure you will make it...we can do it! I slipped on Saturday myself and enjoyed an early Easter celebration with my family at my sister's new house. So I am totally on track this…

well not a good wi...i am up 1.4! Not sure what i did to cause that...sometimes your body just plays mean tricks on you! But I still had a NSV this week in that I was able to wear a pantsuit that i have not worn in 5 or more years...so I am celebrating that success and not letting the gain get me down. But NONE of your…

Well here we are in week 10 and only one or two of us left.:cry: ..but I committed to this and I will be here until the end. Only a little more than a month to go. Tomorrow is wi...so I will be back tomorrow to report in. Hope to see some of you here...

riveraphx - wow sorry to hear that you are under the weather. Hope Sunday is a better day for you. Rest! :flowerforyou: I'm glad you felt well enough to post. My long term goal is to make it to 150. While that is still about 15 lbs higher than what most charts show I should be at my height of 5'3 I just cannot fathom…

Well let me chime in here...a couple of days before Christmas last year I went in to see my doc and he ordered blood work done...bright and early on 12/26 i got a call from him personally stating that I had to change NOW or I would be a diabetic by summer. He added to come see him if I wanted to change. I was in his office…

Good morning to all that visit. We have become a much smaller group than started 9 weeks ago. But still a good place to keep me on track and accountable. So how was your week? I lost another 1 lb at WW wi this morning. Good! I was again suprised at the loss...thought for sure I would stay the same or a slight gain. I…

hope the weathers nice, san diego is sunny and warm. [/quote] Ha! You would think that the weather would be nice here in Dallas in late March but it turned cold and windy today..leven snow flurries in the northern parts of the area! I am so ready for spring! And now that I have lost some weight...I get to shop for some new…

Okay...so I am sneaking in while at work! So shhhh dont tell anyone! But I was so excited about my loss this morning that I had to tell! Despite the late night eating and skipping meals...I was down 1.6 today! :happy: LW 209.2 TW 207.6 Goal 198 Sounds like my mom is joining us...welcome and congrats on your loss this week.…

Thought I would start this off this week! Hope everyone is back this week and we all have good results to report! I have to work tomorrow right after WW wi so I may not be able to sign in until late tomorrow afternoon...but I will be here! It has been a crazy week and at least twice this week I didnt even stop to eat…

I can totally relate...weekends are "danger zones" for me. i have a routine during the week in that I pack my lunch, my snacks and when they are gone..i know that I am through. I take no change to the office to avoid the temptation of the vending machines. But the weekends are a different story and I do look forward to…

So where is everyone? :cry:

Sorry to check in late...had to put in a few hours at the office this morning after WW wi. I am down another .8! I hit the 25lb loss mark. Slowly it came...slowyly it will go! Hope everyone else had good week and may the coming week be even better. Last week 210 This week 209.2 5/15 goal 199 :flowerforyou: Goodbye 200

Looks like everyone had a good week...congrats to all. I am heading to the recipe board now..always looking for different ways to cook chicken! Have a grand week...
