OT: Sad News
Those who were on the WW GOAD board may remember Alan Schneider (IZZY was his board name). He was an active member of the GOAD board for many years. Because of our sarcastic and grammar/spelling nazi ways, Alan and I became great online friends and have kept in touch via FB since he left the GOAD board a couple of years…

LauraBelle, are you still doing Zumba?

FAO: Savignr OT
Hi Bob! Just want you to know that I'm still using that pen you had made for me. Do you ever heard from him (the guy who made it and whose name I can't remember right now)?

Anchors?
Those who did an earlier WW program may remember the "anchors" thing -- something that you kept with you to serve as an anchor for your weight loss. It must have been with the Winning Points plan because it was early in my weight loss "journey" and that's the plan I used for about the first year. Until WW, in its infinite…

FAO: Tim Dumez
Hi Tim! In response to your question in the friend request re: whether I'm living at the beach permanently. YES! I sold my house in Raleigh the end of July 2015 and moved here permanently. I do miss my old neighborhood and neighbors. I had, after all, been living in that house 22 years! But I love living here!

Only a Pound a Week
IF I LOST 1 LB. EACH WEEK OF 2017 By Valentine's Day I'd be 7 lbs. lighter! I’m loving it! By St. Patrick's Day I'd be 11 lbs. lighter! With the luck–o-the Irish I'll make my goal. By Easter I'd be 16 lbs. lighter! I'd be a cuter bunny. By Memorial Day I'd be 23 lbs. lighter! Won't let it rain on my parade. By Flag Day I'd…

2016 in Review
For the first time since I reached goal in 2004, I gained weight over the course of the past year. I was up 2.3 pounds yesterday from what I was on 12/31/15. It could have been much worse though -- had I not dropped several pounds since the beginning of November, it would have been more like 10+ pounds above this time last…

OT: Back to my safe place
As I used to do on the WW boards, I decided to peruse some of the other communities here. I got skeered and came back to my safe place :wink:

ROLL CALL ~ Sunday, 11/27/16
Many of us feel the need to remain connected by just signing in on a daily basis. We may have a lot to say or very little. We may say smart things, or dumb things. It doesn't matter if we're having a good day, a bad day...or something in between. We'll post our thoughts, our successes, our challenges, our insights (or lack…

OT: Some Medical Issues
I don't typically post about medical issues here (or in any public forum); but I consider you "guys" my friends so I'm going to let you in on what's going on. And I'm sorry this is so long. A little background -- My mom was a diabetic with EXTREMELY high blood pressure and EXTREMELY high cholesterol (usually over 600 even…

OT: Happy Birthday
On Nov. 10, 1775, the Second Continental Congress resolved to create two battalions of Continental Marines for the War of Independence from Britain. In 1798, President John Adams signed the Act establishing the United States Marine Corps. The 13th Commandant of the Marine Corps, General John A. Lejeune, issued Marine Corps…

Poll: (Just out of curiosity)
I know that many of us here migrated from the WW message boards. I also know (or THINK) that we have many new participants who were never on the WW message boards. And some who haven't even done WW. So here's the poll: Were you a member of the WW GOAD board? Have you followed WW in the past? Are you following any of the WW…

Each weekday, a new topic is offered up for discussion. Newbie? Join in! Veteran? Join in! Your thoughts may be just what…

For Those Who are Tracking with MFP
While the food database for MFP seems MUCH more extensive than the one for WW, I've also found that there are LOTS of entries for the same foods; but with different Nutritional Information. And I mean same brand and same food. Many times I've had the container right in front of me and the calories/fat/sugar/etc. is vastly…

This could be bad. This could be VERY bad.
As any of you who have "known" me for a while know, I'm a sucker for Girl Scout Thin Mint Cookies. Fortunately they're only available once a year. Although I have been told that they are now available at Dollar General all year. But I digress. Today when I stopped at the grocery store I saw that Pillsbury now has Girl…

Good to know that WW techies are still on top of things
So, just out of curiosity, I decided to attempt to login to the WW site this morning. I get this message on the home page: "We're sprucing up the place! The Weight Watchers Community site is no longer available. Please go here to learn more about the changes! If you are currently a subscriber, please click here to log in."…

Still Learning After All These Years!
So, now that I'm tracking with MFP, I'm learning some things. Did you know that 8oz of black coffee actually has 2 calories? All these years I thought that coffee had no calories. My coffee mug holds 16 oz of coffee so there's 4 calories. Add the tablespoon of creamer that I use and there's another 30 calories. Add the 1…

OT: Have you (will you)....?
Yay, our first OT (off-topic -- for those who are new and don't know some of our "lingo" from the WW boards). Have you watched the coverage of the Republican National Convention and/or will you be watching the coverage of the Democratic National Convention? This is NOT a place to spew your political feelings. I'm just…

FAO: WWGOADIE
Can you message me? I have a question for you but, for whatever reason, I'm either not allowed to message you OR I've found the first glitch here. I tried to send you a message and got an error message saying the "server is not able to process your request". The positive thing about the message is that it also said that…
