I am just so happy!!!! I sent to the WW meeting last night and just weighed in. I didn't stay because I don't like to be away from the puppies very long. Anyway.....I lost another 3.8 lbs. That is a grand total of 13.8 lbs in 3 weeks. I doing it.....I'm doing it!!! Pray I keep doing it!!!...LOL :D

You go girl! I think you should make a before and after picture, progressing along. Put on an outfit and make your picture. Then, put that same outfit on and stand in the same place once a month or so.

I'm still doing Curves, but am not dedicated to the dieting part. I'm going to find a WW meeting!

Hi Tiramisu,

My daughter wants a Curves membership for her birthday. How much is it, if you don't mind me asking. They don't terll you o their website and from what I can figure out from other sites, they're about $150 to join, and then about $30/month?

[judy]

Janet,

You are fantastic, terrific, wonderful, stupendous and ab fab!

I am so proud of you!

I think you might be motivating me to go. Or not. Whatever - good for you!!!

That's a great idea...I'll have to find something that shows my fat........well you know, and then take another one when I lose it!! :cool: I love WW so far. I get to eat anything I want. I've tried every diet in the world (almost) and this is so much better than they ever were. I'm not going hungry.

[Janet]

Thanks ladies...It would not be quite as easy without you...my lovely cheerleaders!!!

[Tink]

Janet, I'm so glad you're doing so well with WW!
Keep up the good work girlfriend!

[Gina]

YAAAAAAAAAAAA Way to go Janet!!!:thumbup: :thumbup: Your doing wonderfully and by the spring you will start noticing by your clothes.... Keep up the good work!

BTW I just brought the stella doro 100 pack snacks , I hear ww allows them. They are really satisfying with a cup of coffee or tea. I munch on many different favorities of 100 calories packs.. I lost a few pds myself this week, being I am on a soft food diet...lol oh well the only postive thing ...

[Janet]

Okay....looks like I'm going to have to get off my fat butt and exercise now...:(

I only lost .4 tonight at the WW weigh-in. I knew it was going to slow down, but I darn near got whiplash from that weigh-in...LOL. Guess the old treadmill and I are gonna have to become fast buddies again....darn it!:p

[Marilyn]

Janet, I am sooooo happy for you making such progress. If you add some exercise, you may do even better. Don't be upset by a small loss one week. Keep going and you will meet your goal!!!
:cheer: :cheer:


BTW, I've gained 13 lbs since July :eek: . I've got to get with the program. We have a wedding in 5 months :eek: :eek: !!!

[Tink]

Janet, it's still a step in the right direction. I hope you don't get discouraged... I have every faith you can do this. Winter is hard because it's easy to hibernate like bears when it's so nasty cold out. Stick to your plan and I know you'll succeed.

HUGS

[Janet]

I'm not getting discouraged yet. At least it's still going down and not up. There were some there tonight that gained. I hope if and when that happens to me, I know it's because of something I ate, water build-up..etc. I pray about this alot...it's for my health.

[Tiramisu]

You're doing so good! I haven't been to Curves in two weeks. I've had bronchitis or something for over a week and there was a fatality carjacking in their parking lot last week, so I'm paranoid to go. There was a random fatal shooting at the little mall across the street a few weeks back that adds to my nuttiness!

[judy]

That's pretty scary! Be careful when you do go.

[Tink]

Wow Sandy, that would scare me too.
Please be careful!

Sorry, I didn't catch your question earlier. I pay $42/m through an ExxonMobil corporate discount program with Curves. They had some deal going when I started that if you had had a mammogram recently the signup was free.

[DianaB]

Janet, don't beat yourself up. You lost almost a half a pound and that's great!!!!! Keep up the good work!!!!!

[DianaB]

Sandy, I think that I'd find another Curves to go to, one in a safer neighborhood. I'm sure that Houston has several others.

[Janet]

I had my 5th Weight Watcher weigh-in this evening and I am sooooooo happy!!!! :cheer: :cheer: I lost another 4.2 lbs for a grand total of 18.4 lbs.

I was sick Sat. and Sun. and didn't eat anything. Then on Monday and Tuesday I didn't watch my points very well and ate alot of bad stuff. I finally got back on track on Wed. and today and I made them weigh me twice. I thought it was a mistake. Yay!!!!! :cheer:

[Tink]

Well done Janet! That's a full clothing size already!
You've got to feel that when you get dressed!

[Janet]

I do feel it now. My jeans are real baggie in the butt and thighs. Even though I have a heck of a lot more to lose, it makes me 'feel' smaller. I love it. I still have all my MIL clothes packed in tubs..I am so hoping that by spring I'll be able to fit into some of them. She had a lot of clothes and all different sizes.

[Janet]

I will tell you right now Diana...bikini...NO WAY!...LOLOLOL Maybe if I was in my 20's or early 30's, but I've done lost that right..lol.

[Marilyn]

Way to go, Janet!!!!!! Soooooo happy for you!!!!!! You are inspiring me to ge up off my butt and get moving again. Can't wait to hear your next good report!!!!!!!!!

:bravo: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :bravo:

[Janet]

It's still a little depressing though and I'm trying to look ahead. I'm beginning to 'feel' smaller, ya know, but then I go and look in the mirror and I can't even tell. When you weigh as much as me..it's going to take some time. Maybe in another month or two there will be a slight difference visually..I sure hope so. Thanks everyone for the encouragement...it really helps.

[lynne b]

wow Janet I am so proud of you. you are doing so good. Keep up the good work

[Forgivenmom5]

That's great Janet!!!!! Even if you can't see it you know it's going by the scales and the feel in your clothes.:)

[judy]

Dear Janet,

I'm just reading this and am so proud of you!!! That's almost 20 pounds in 5 weeks.

WAHOO!!!

It does seem like it's going to take forever sometimes, but it won't. Hang in there and celebrate your successes. I still have my first star from 5 years ago hanging on my fridge.

[Janet]

At the WW meeting and weigh-in last night I was a expecting a weight gain and I got it! I gained a whole .2

I was so nervous on Tuesday with the ice and Ricky was driving so when I get really nervous I eat. I tried to pick good things, but slipped just a little. so .2 is not bad at all. I'll do better this week.

[Tink]

Janet, .2 could mean you drank an extra HALF glass of water before your meeting. LOL I wouldn't beat myself up over that. Even a monthly hormonal change can add an extra few pounds, so .2 is nothing to be ashamed of.

[Jlynn]

I'm just seeing this! You go girl! I wouldn't worry about that .2 lb...you are doing an awesome job.

2503 (if you click him, he's clapping...don't know why he doesnt work otherwise)
Now, if I could just figure out a way to join your bandwagon. LOL

[judy]

Well, I only lost .4 pounds (which a good passing of wind would have taken care of), so don't worry about it. You're going to have a week or three like that.

You're doing great!

[Janet]

Had our WW meeting and weigh-in last night. I lost 2.4 lbs and a grand total of 20.6 lbs.

So far I'm doing really good. I did discuss with them last night that for some reason this week I was feeling more hungry than I did the first month. On WW you should never feel hungry. I need to make sure I'm getting all my points (which I am) and not be afraid to use the 35 extra weekly points. I don't use many of those at all. I also need to make sure I get in my protein and fiber. I thought I was, but obviously need to check it more closely like I did when I first started.

[judy]

I think that's an incredible weight loss Janet! Congratulations.

I lost 1.6 this week, making it a total of 2.4 pounds altogether. I was very happy!
It doesn't seem like a lot, but I only need to lose 10 pounds. I'm also using my 35 extra points since I can't live on 18 points/day.

I'm also finding that I'm hungry lately. I went to the produce store and bought a bag of baby carrots. At WW, I buy their snacks, which I love, but I can't add any extra points so I have to stick to veggies when I get hungry. I also eat fruit once/day because it's healthy. It's a balancing act - deciding between points and nutrition!

You're going to be very happy once you get to your goal weight and have figured out a good diet for your lifestyle.

[DianaB]

That's so good, Janet!!!!! It's really starting to add up!!!!! Way to go!!!!

Congratulations Judy!!!! I think you're doing great too! I will take any weightloss I can get..even if it's .1....LOL. As long as something is coming off. I wish I only had 10 lbs to lose. You were very smart not to let yourself get really heavy like I did. I need to lose 101 lbs, really more if I can. 20 is gone, so I just need to keep going. My very first goal is to get to 1 lb less than 200. Then I'll feel like I'm REALLY getting there. Once I get there...I'll need to lose approx. 55 more lbs. I'll do it this time if it's the last thing I do.:thumbup:

[judy]

If you keep losing at this rate Janet, you and I will reach our goals at about the same time!

[Tink]

You're both doing well!
Way to go Judy and janet!
I'm very happy for you.

[Gina]

Janet Congratulations and to you to Judy that is wonderful. I lost 7lbs. myself on my not eating to well plan..lol I am scheduled to have my implants loaded in two weeks.. so another few pds. will be coming off..


Janet by the summer you will be wearing that thong bathing suit.. <wink>

You'll be 53 years young!!! Maybe you could get one to lay out in the sun with to get a great tan!!!!! :thumbup:

[judy]

Janet in a thong! I somehow don't think so. Not that you couldn't if you wanted to, but you must post several pictures.

I don't understand thongs. They are wedgies that people pay money for!

[Janet]

We have got to change the subject...who started this anyway...LOLOLOL

Thank you Judy, thongs are for those young, thin, hard bodies...not for me. Pictures??????? I don't understand thongs either...nothing worse than seeing someone walking and tugging at their uncomfortable underwear.....YUK!!

[judy]

Getting off of the thongs, I have a food question. Is squash a veggie or a carb or a little of both?

I bought some cubed squash, put it in a sealed container with some water and steamed it in the microwave for about 6-8 minutes. Delicious!

[DianaB]

Squash is a veggie! Was it yellow crookneck squash? Or something else? You can use yellow crookneck the same way you use zucchini. They are very good sliced about 1/4 inch, seasoned, and cooked on the grill!!! Yummy!!!!

[Janet]

I honestly don't know if I've ever had any squash....of any kind. Also hate to admit it, but I don't think I know what one looks like.

[Tink]

When Shannon and Katie were both still living here and doing laundry, Greg would occasionally find one of their thongs in the dryer... He referred to them as butt floss!
Just had to add that for Janet. ;) I wouldn't be caught dead wearing them either!

'Course what I wear the young girls call Granny panties... well heck I AM a grannY! So I don't mind dressing the part.

[Gina]

We have got to change the subject...who started this anyway...LOLOLOL

< hiding in corner > I DUNNO WHO COULD HAVE STARTED THIS JANET... LMAO

[judy]

Butt floss is a great name for them! Greg has a great sense of humor.

I think it was butternut squash Diana. I bought it already cut up. I'll buy whole squash next time and see how it tastes. This happened to be a really delicious one.

The produce available in NY is awful! I haven't had a good tomato here in years, and forget about peaches.

I don't think that I've ever had butternut squash. My daughter's been fixing a different kind of squash that they've all raved about. We have farmer's markets here in the spring and summertime and you can buy veggies and flowers from the gardeners. A vine ripened tomato is one of the best things!! Yummy!!!

[judy]

I love veggies! A tomato, with some salt - heaven! I love them cooked and fancied up, but either raw or steamed, so you get just the true flavor of the veggie is so delicious.

I can't wait to move top the country so I too can buy at stands.

Oh my dear sweet friend Marilyn....I am a very interesting woman for sure...LOL:D

I guess it all boils down to...not too many go around talking squash, but sex is another thing. I may not like talking about it, but I always have my ears taking in all kinds of info...LOLOL

[AngieDoogles]

Oh my! Glad to see you ladies keeping it interesting while I'm away. It's fun to come read what you've been up to.

Janet, I missed you girl! You always make me laugh. :)

[judy]

Hi Angie,

It's so good to see you here!

Love ya,

Judy

[DianaB]

Ok, back to thongs.........A few years ago we took a vacation to South Padre in southern-most Texas and we were diving down a street and I said "Oh look, someone lost their thong!!" My daughter turned all shades of red and informed me that flip-flops were no longer called thongs. That's what they were called when I grew up and I want to know who gave them permission to change their name?

[Janet]

:sidesplit: :sidesplit: Diana, you crack me up...what are they called now? I always called them thongs too, still do.




I wanted to let you all know that I'm still losing the weight. I can't believe it!!!! Of course I've got a long way to go, but at last night's WeightWatcher meeting, I lost another 2.2 lbs for a grand total of 22.8 lbs lost since January 3rd.

I am so grateful that this way of losing has come into my life. I love the meetings and the people there. I just really feel grateful today for everything, more than usual. Thank you all too, for the tremendous support you give me. I love you all very much.
