Whewwww...VERY Challenging weekend with Italian Restaurant Friday night, and brunch for daughter's birthday today. Even being careful today, I still am fuller than I have been since the first of the year. I have the WW "Magic Logging Book" this week...so I am hoping it is really magical and will help me stay on track. I am…

Happy Hump Day Ladies... Wanted to check in and say hi quickly and will catch up on posts tomorrow. Yesterday was WW weigh-in and I got my official WW 10 pounds lost star! One week from yesterday is my Shedding Pounds for Hounds final weigh in...and I have a bit to go to my pledge. Each week the WW instructor offers a…

Hi Ladies... Happy Birthday a day late Barbie! You're amazing! Well...my statement about feeling confident which usually leads to disaster was spot on...well not disaster, but definitely an eye-opener. So today back to minding my p's & q's & calories, downing my water, and 2 miles on the treadmill this evening. Tomorrow is…

Hi Ladies...Beautiful Saturday here in SC. Michele...I was perusing around on Pinterest and plugged in Bowling Pins. They have some really cute ideas! If you are artistic they have the most adorable "Beach People" made out of bowling pins! Since I still haven't figured out how to upload pics, I will make them my modicon…

Hi Ladies... I'm enjoying my day off. Got up with hubby this a.m. which is like sleeping in to me since his alarm doesn't go off until 6:30. Worked the treadmill, and then went shopping. Bought 2 pairs of pants on sale in a size smaller than I have been in. Also bought some cute capri pants and a bright splashy top! Looks…

Hi Ladies... Pam..I ordered my full length Hot Pants today via Groupon... but in a size smaller than my first orderl! Also saw that they will soon introduce a Hotpants Top! Excited! $49 for $110 product which I am so confident with. Off work tomorrow and planning to shop for jeans in a size smaller...Will confess to…

If anyone is interested in the Zaggora Hotpants that I have been using, here is a link to a current Groupon special. This is how I got started with them. I believe in them so much that I am going to purchase the deal and get the full length Hotpants. I LOVE THEM!…

For anyone interested...here is the site for the Hotpants. Yes...I did wear them while working in the woods. I also wear them on the treadmill, and when I clean. Fortunately, my current jeans are baggy enough so I can put them on under my jeans or sweats. I had found a Groupon Coupon and got them for $25 .... I probably…

Happy Mother's Day to all my friends in England...hope your day was tremendous!:flowerforyou: Amanda...it sounds like you had a great day! :smile: Geri...Holidays are for enjoyment, and we know that when the day is over, our healthy choices will kick back in! :happy: Nancy...Grilled Peanut Butter & Cucumber sandwich???…

Top of the evenin' to ya ladies.. Back from the woodlot and I can actually still move. Hubby & I split a bunch of wood that was already cut to length when we got there. Then while he cut more, I loaded the truck with the split stuff. I wore my hot pants under my jeans...and by the time we got home...they were wet-pants…

JB....just think what nice "lean" fingers all of the web-surfing gives us! :laugh: I agree...I spend more time than I should on the computer and most of it healthy-based. I just need the energy of "the Sistas" to make my day! Hubby & I are off to cut up, split & load some wood for next winter. I'm sure he'll burn far more…

TGIF Ladies! Yesterday did not run true to form...no treadmill in the morning (it DID seem like the middle of the night yesterday morning at 4:50 am). Lunchtime walk...then a doggy adoption home visit last night and a stop at the local humane society where I bumped in to my S-I-L picking up a puppy. Green Eyes Jealous…

Things my treadmill has taught me: 1. 4:50 a.m. is NOT still the middle of the night...oh except on last Monday after time change :laugh: 2. "Glistening" is for girls..."Sweating" is for your health & heart. :drinker: 3. The Hotpants help the sweating :tongue: 4. That little "lap" display is very inspirational..."Just one…

Hey Wateva...I know there are many of us who have stood in your shoes and been discouraged. Some of us will be there again. Just remember that everything you're doing is FOR YOU....no one else. Take care of yourself, you are worth it! Yesterday in my weight watchers meeting, one of the statements was "Harness the poer of…

LOL! Too Funny...

Hi ladies...:flowerforyou: Daylight savings time is kicking my butt. Alarm went off to walk on the treadmill, and as soon as my brain registered that it was "really" 4 am and not "really 5am...I reset the clock and slept another 45 minutes. We've just now finished dinner & cleanup and it's 8:30 pm. I did do 15 minutes on…

Happy Saturday Afternoon Ladies... Busy day & week here in SC...but I'm thrilled with my diet/exercise results. This morning at weigh-in I am finally under 175 lbs! Woo Hoo...17 pounds lost since January 3rd! Happy Girl Here. I may even make my 25 pound pledge for Losing Pounds for Hounds! Worked those HotPants on the…

Evening ladies... Kackie...enjoy your new grandbaby...and chasing a 3 year old will be exercise I am sure:tongue: Realpure...hang in there...the weekend is coming...perhaps some time for YOU is in order!:flowerforyou: Welcome Deidre...I so agree with you on the youth of today..they sure aren't built like we were at that…

Wow...miss a day and miss 3 pages of posts! Yesterday was a crazy busy day, and just didn't get here. After catching up I am relating to so many of your stories. Virginia...happy birthday...You are AMAZING & such an inspiration. My Zaggora Hot Pants came in the mail on Monday ...however needed signature, so I didn't get…

Good Evening ladies... I was feeling pretty positive about my day today...food & water under control. Then, I posted my dinner food, which was onion soup with croutons & one slice of cheese. YIKES...the calories were what I expected...but the Sodium is not going to do me any good for my WW weigh-in tomorrow. Guess I better…

Hi Ladies... Today was a pretty laid-back southern day in SC. Wind is howling & cold, but hubby, Abby & I got in our evening walk. Hubby & I cleaned the grout on our tile floors this morning...I'm totally embarassed at how bad they were...so that was an hour of scrubbing on hands & knees...which BTW....my knees ain't what…

Whew....missing a day on the thread makes catching up quite a job...but love to read about everyone's successes, frustrations and daily activities. Congratulations to the new grandmas and condolences to those who have lost loved ones. My thoughts are with all of you. I have to tell you that I have a ENTIRELY NEW RESPECT…

Wow....what an AMAZING Group of women we have here...so many emotions fill this thread that I know each of us has felt. Reading these posts and knowing that so many of you "get it" is such a warm and welcome feeling. I "caught a spot" this morning so I didn't miss anything...and 8 hours later there's lots to catch up on.…

Catching a spot so I don't miss anything!

Hi Ladies... Just a quick check-in this evening. Was down 2.2 pounds on my WW weigh-in...so that is 7 .2 lbs total since starting with them on January 31st, and 14.5 since the start of Shedding Pounds for Hounds began on January 3rd. The support from this group of ladies has also been a blessing...thank you all. Feeling…

Good Evening all... Made it through the weekend relatively unscathed...the Coq au Vin was not exactly diet-friendly and Rob's Amazing Mashed potatoes were amazing...but again not diet friendly. I concentrated on serving size, and was up a bit from yesterday morning, but all in all, I wasn't unhappy. Tomorrow is WW…

Good Sunday Afternoon friends... What an enjoyably relaxing weekend this has been after 4 weekends of working so hard on early spring cleaning, and the bathroom do-over. Just kind of "piddlin' around" as we call it...things to do, but nothing earth-shattering, so if it gets done fine, but if not fine too. I visited the…

Good morning ladies...Up with the birds again this morning...hubby was up and getting ready to go fishing at 4:15, and I was STARVED at that time. So, I got up and made us a healthy breakfast of poached eggs on 1/2 a multi-grain english muffin, and 1/2 grapefruit. He was gone at 5:15, and I never did go back to bed.…

Evening all... Started my day with a much better attitude...the alarm went off at 5 am, I reset it to 5:30 am..:yawn: .but my inner-want-to-be-skinny & healthy-self got me up at 5:10 to do 20 minutes on the treadmill. Lunchtime walk & evening with the dog & hubby put me at an hour. The treadmill is making me push myself,…

Thank you all ladies for your advice and encouragement. You have some excellent points & ideas. I've lost 12 pounds since the beginning of the year...I think I deserve a heart rate monitor...so I'm going to get one this weekend. I also do not weigh my food...though I do use a measuring cup for things that measure well that…
