Good Morning and Happy Friday Ladies,

Hopefully you all had a great Thursday evening. Mine ended good. I'm also looking forward to a great day today. I have a lot to do but should be no problem staying OP. Yesterday I re read portions of Dr Phil's Ultimate Weightloss Solutions and I am feeling so much more in control of my emotions and eating right now. I am so determined that I am going to win this weight loss battle. I know that we all have what it takes to win.

I'm headed out for my walk but will check back later today.

Have a great OP day ladies.

Good morning ladies! Well I am happy to report I managed to lose 1.6 this week. I feel good about that because there were two days that I was unable to really control what I was eatting and had to go with the flow of things....apparently I did alright. I even had a small peice of birthday cake this week! I am now 1.4 away from my origional personal goal, but I know that I am going to go for at least another 5...and possibly 10. So ya'll are stuck with me!lol

Off to court this morning, will try to update you later.

Congrats Abbie on such a great loss this week! You know we want you to stick around when you reach your goal!!! We'll need you to be a motivator for those of us who have a ways to go. I hope all goes well at court.

A change of exercise plans this morning... Instead of going out for a walk, I did the FIRMs Cardio Overdrive. I had some last minute paperwork to get done for a client and didn't have enough time to walk. Even though I went to WW on Tuesday, I am going to go to the 9:30 meeting this morning. I think it will help me to go to 2 meetings for a while.

Good morning ladies. I've had a very blah week plan wise, and I'll be shocked if I don't gain. I'm glad the weekend is here (and payday) so I can go restock our kitchen. I need to hit the reset button.

This is the first weekend in forever that I haven't needed to clean, we've successfully kept the apartment in order since my cleaning spree last weekend. So a little laundry and I should have a relaxing weekend. I think I may tackle cleaning the fridge though, there are a few mystery foods in there that I'm pretty sure would kill us at this point if we tried to eat them :bcb_grin

<<Skinny Vibes>> to all w/ weigh ins

Congrats to all with losses!

Abbie : you are SO close to PGW and such an inspiration!!

Good morning sheila ,Abbie and others to follow!
The movies went well yesterday and dgd felt better.I bowled well last night and beat the other team so Hopefully I will do good in the tournament tommorow and sunday .So Im getting ready for my trip.I dont mind packing but hate unpacking.I only have one child today and he may go home early(:bcb_bigsm Hoping TGIF)DS is upset he dont think he did well on one of his test but dont know yet.But he will start his next semester next week (NO Break)At least he dont have to study this week-end.Maybe he can go somewhere wih his friends he never gets out.
I'm sure there will be feelings hurt over the week end because one of the tournaments we are going to is a trio and you must have 1 woman on the team.There is alot of men going but only 3 women.I already have my partners mapped out so Im sure some people wont be talking to me by sunday.bcb_sadOh well they knew they needed to get more women to go and I not going to over extend my self because I am already bowling in another tourny there also.(Im not that good just a better average than the other women.I always bowl with dh and dbf's husband.)
Any way wish me luck I need the money DH is having surgery next wed. So keep us in your prayer's.
Have a great weekend everybody I plan to.

I would like to join in please. I have been reading your posts for several weeks now.

My name is Melodee....I am a stay at home wife-mom...3 children...son-age 27, daughter-age 26, daughter-age 18. Our only 'baby" at home is our 18 year old daughter who will be a senior when school starts.

My WW story is this...I started attending meetings in October 2002 til we moved. When I started WW in 2002, I weighed 189 pounds!! On my last weigh in card, my weight was 144 pounds...I lost a total of 45 pounds...WOW!!! So then, I got out some old picture albums and was truly shocked how big I was at the beginning of WW. These picture albums are the ones that stay on the top shelves in the back of the closet. After reading my old weigh in cards, I know that I can get this weight off that has been creeping back on over the years....seeing the weigh in cards and the pictures was a reality check for me.....I remember working so hard to get the weight off. I was so faithful to the program. I DO NOT WANT TO GAIN BACK THAT WEIGHT!I I have the current WW material that my neighbor gave me. I have been doing WW without attending the meetings...so far it has been working.

I started back April 10th, 2008, with little steps. Seems like one day I would be OP and the next fudge just a little. I just need to stick to the program. Well, yesterday, I have committed myself 100% to get this weight off.

I look forward to posting and getting to know you!! :bcb_march

Welcome Melodee!!!

:welcome::welcome::welcome:MELODEE!!!
Please come and post often so we can get to know you! These ladies are awesome. We have some that have made it to goal and the rest of us are inching closer and closer week after week. Sometimes we fall, but we get back up and keep reaching for the stars! I think you will enjoy it here. Post your menus on our weekly journal thread and your workouts on our weekly exercise thread!!!

Barb: Good luck on your tournament this weekend. I am definitely praying for your DH's surgery next week!

Sheila: Way to go on getting those workouts in and going to 2 meetings. You have to do what you have to do in order to make it and you are doing just that! Great job!

Ellen: Glad to hear from you! I am sure whatever the personal trainer has you doing will definitely be working to your advantage. I can't wait until you are back here in full swing! Keep us posted on how things are going!

Abbie: WAY TO GO!!!!!!!!!! YOU HAVE DONE AN AWESOME JOB!! YOU ARE SO CONSISTENT! I WANNA BE LIKE YOU WHEN I GROW UP!
Christen: I know its a great feeling on not having to clean. Unfortunately, I will never know that feeling. With 2 kids(sometimes 3), a husband and my sister staying for the summer, my work is never done! Hey, if the scale doesn't move this week, it doesn't mean that it will never move again!!

Well, I didn't lose the one lb I had hoped to lose this week. I am actually UP .4lbs this week. I am going to keep pushing, but I hate when I work really hard, and it doesn't show on the scale. Sorry to the Black Team members this week. I hope next week will be better for me. I am still working out just as hard so hopefully the inches will begin to fly off soon. I have only lost 3.5inches in this month. I NEED and want more!!!

Have a great day ladies!

Hey ladies,

Sorry I was MIA most of yesterday and today. Yesterday was a nightmare. DS's father is visiting from Florida and he is going back tomorrow. He asked if the boys could hang out with Torre for a bit while he went to see a friend for a little while that lives down the street from my house. I said sure, then realized it was already 4:30pm, DBF was going to be coming over after work but assumed it would only be for a little while, 1 hour tops I was thinking. Well as soon as he left, the boys were AWFUL, they were arguing with eachother...then my mom came home and it interefered with everything. We only had dinner planned for 5 of us so we couldn't even make dinner because we didn't have enough for 3 extra mouths. 3 hours later, he still isnt' back yet or calling me and his cell phone is shut off cause he has no money. So I put all the kids in the car and went looking for him. found his car and told him his kids were hungry. He then asked me, can you do me a favor and drop them off at my mom's house? WTF??!!! The only reason I did was because they were hungry and hadn't eaten since breakfast and I knew that his mom would cook something for them. UGH!!! He is sooo frustrating. DBF ended up coming over later anyway and I had only eaten breakfast and watermelon all day. So I was starving and had 20pts to eat. We went to on the border....I had chips and salsa, a salad and 2 pieces of a quesadilla and stayed OP. Got some M.E.'s in when I got home and NO nighttime snacking because we ate dinner at like 9am. I wasn't able to get to the gym yesterday because we had a "visitor" all darn day.

Today I went for a 4 hour hike with one of my best friends it was a GREAT day...very hot and sticky though and I got home about 4pm. I jumped in the pool to cool off then took a shower and now I'm just waiting to leave. I have a wedding rehearsal and dinner to go to tonight. I"m singing in my friends wedding tomorrow morning. She is having a rehearsal dinner tonight at a very fancy restaurant. DS is with his father for one last night and I just got off the phone with him. He was supposed to take the boys to Six Flags and they never went. I am sooo annoyed and i'm so glad for my sake and especially my sons sake, that he IS going home tomorrow. UGH!!! So i'm sure my son has been bored all day. :bcb_cry:

After my long hike today I got on the scale and it read 204. HOLY CRAP!! I know it won't be that low tomorrow morning because I have to eat dinner...but i'm going to make a good choice, either steak or scrod. So it wont' be too bad.

Well, gotta run. Be back tomorrow night sometime, after the wedding. it's a morning wedding and I'm hoping to be home around 4-5pm.

Welcome Melodee! You will absolutely love this group of women. I Know I do. Can't wait to get to know you better!

Have a great night everybody! XOXO
