  • I agree - Happiness has to start from within. You can't look at anyone else to make you happy. And you can't think, when I lose this weight I'll be happy, or when I get a new job, or when I get a bigger house, or when I get help cleaning this big house, or when the kids are grown, etc, etc. You'll still be the same person.…
  • Happy Canada Day to you too ! Did you and the girls go to Science North for the festivities ? Or the Arena for all the foods from different countries ?
  • Yes - unfortunately, usually more. But the trick is to write everything down, even if you do go over your calories / points. Years ago, when doing WW, I had lost over 50 lbs, and I did drink all the way through the journey. But I always journalled it all. Now - I am way overweight again, and need to do it all over.…
  • Marissa ! WHO SAID that you're a thread killer..... ? !!! Thanks for your kind words, Hon ! And - today is Day 2 of tracking, and since yesterday morning, I have listened to Tracks 1, 2 and 3 of my Hypnosis CD three times already ! Can you tell that I want to stick with it this time around... ? LOL
  • That's SO true ! And good for you for losing 24 lbs,and lots of inches ! I had lost a lot of weight several years ago, while on WW, but gradually, over the years, it has inched back up. I decided in January that it was finally time to help my health again, and that would help my high blood pressure, and my arthritic knee.…
  • My downfall is beer, though... not a lot to do about the calories in that! jenj1313 - I dilute my beer with near beer (non alcoholic beer). That way it "stretches it out".
  • Ladies - Thank you all for the welcoming messages ! Sorry, if I don't get on every day - there's lots going on up here, and my time for me is limited ! But I really appreciate the warm welcome, and the acceptance ! Esther, Barb and Nancy, and anyone else not feeling the greatest - hope you all get better really soon ! Anne…
  • 31 lbs in 4 months.... ? WOW !!! There is no race, Vickie ! You'll be miles ahead of me ! Way to go ! Where are you heading on your trip ?
  • BTW , Vickie - It looks like our goals are pretty similar - I am starting at 237, and my ultimate goal weight - if I don't change it along the way - is 155 lbs. (I'm realistic - I just want to be healthier. " Ideal weight" charts say that at 5'3", I should be 130 - 135 lbs. If I was not that weight in high school I won't…
  • WOW ! You are QUICK ! Thanks so much, Vickie ! I noticed as I read through some of the posts, that the Ladies are very friendly, and seem to care about each other. (I have not yet introduced myself on the main board, but felt comfortable doing so on here.) I just clicked on your pic, and want to say "Happy Belated Birthday…
