Hello everyone!
I haven't been here on AKL Lite in a WHILE....my DIS time is often cut short by a certain 16 month old running around my feet. But, I wanted to check in - I don't think there is anyway I can catch up on all that I have missed, maybe today during his nap!

Anyway, I noticed the talk as of late about WW. DH and I are still on the program too, thought we got totally lost over the holidays, so the numbers on the scale haven't moved much and my online account hasn't been used hardly at all this month. BUT, I am making myself get back on track and loose these last 5-8 pounds.

athenna - good luck with the job search! Here is the chart to figure out your points:

1. Are you:
Female....2 points
Male........8 points
A nursing mom.......12 points

2. How old are you?
17-26.....4 points
27-37.....3 points
38-47.....2 points
48-58.....1 point
over 58.....0 points

3. What do you weight?
Enter the FIRST 2 DIGITS of your weight in pounds example 175 = 17 points.

4. How tall are you?
Under 5'1''.......0 points
5'1''-5'10''.........1 point
over 5'10''........2 points

5. How do you spend more of your day?
Sitting down..........................0 points
Occasionally sitting, but mainly standing........2 points
Walking most of the time................4 points
Doing hard physical work.......6 points.

Add it up, that is your weekly points. Plus 35 extra weekly points.

I got this from http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20081227222644AAVcLyy

Plus, you can find most anything WW online for free - there is even a calculator out there where you plug in the food stats and it tells you the points. www.dwlz.com is good for various things too. I have a friend doing WW, but she cannot afford online or meetings, so she just uses Google to find recipes, etc.!



MICKEY'S DREAMRS (Laura) - prayers for your mom and your entire family!

Thanks again

HELLO!

I adjusted my siggy today. It looks so pretty with those little "AKV" letters. It will look even prettier when we nail down our Decmeber 2009 dates with another ticker!

Prayers and good thoughts being sent your way!

Looks great!!!

Thank you! I just got a confirmation of dates from DH for December, now it's rotating!! So pretty!

Your NCL ticker looks MIGHTY fine as well...! We almost did NCL to Hawaii for our honeymoon, but opted to be a bit cheaper with Disney World - which hooked us, and in the long run has cost us more money. Where are you headed?

 

[DisneyBride'03]

Alaska By way of Seattle SOmeone else here has the same ticker I think...

I know, I promised DH once we had DVC, no other vacations..... , oh well Its for his 50th And I'm sticking to that!
We have only cruised once on DCL for 3 nights....I am not a 3 night cruiser as my family want to leave me on CC..lol...you cannot do everything, and I thought I could! (CC ..Castaway Cay, Disneys private island)
So now 7 nights.....I can relax...not worry abt characters..lol...well you never know who might be on this cruise

So excited for your NEXT trip! WOW...!!!!So happy for you brookelizabeth!

So what are you exact dates for the Dec. trip? I think I missed it along the way.

I want to try and get a trip in this year now that they came out with the military promotion...I am hoping bribing DH with AKL will do the trick. I will keep ya posted.

 

[PNO4TE]

Brook - I am glad you all have firmed up your plans for your December trip!

And, Diana - with the people I know taking that cruise I know there will be a couple of characters found on board.

Whoo hoo for you!!!! How exciting to have TWO trips planned. My DH starting talking about a Spring Break trip while we were still at WDW. We have to see how the tax man treats us first though. Ugh!

Anyway, since I have been woefully bad about doing a trip report (I promise I'll get to it eventually), I thought I'd post a few more pictures.

 

[DisneyBride'03]

What great shots! Where did you take the shot of Mickey and Pluto fishing??
