Dee CONGRATULATIONS Grandma!!!! What a beautiful name.
Becky
wat to go. Keep up the great work.
I just wanted to share a little about my son. Vito has been really trying to loose weight and started on a vitamin plan. I am very happy to report that in the last 2 weeks he has lost 6 pounds!!!! I am so happy for him.

 

[clynne]

Michelle...How great for Vito, Jr! That's really an accomplishment for a kid. (Ok, for anyone!!) Summer's off to a good start, huh?

Thanks guys. I have been trying to stay within my points, but have consumed some higher sodium items (like half a can of Pringle FF BBQ chips) It was only 3 pts, but the sodium is not my friend. I have realized that I need to always have a plan. This going all day without eating is not good. It makes it hard to stay on track. I have decided when ever I leave home I am gonna take a cooler with no point veggies and low point fruit. That way if I get held up some where I have snacks to hold me over. I always take my huge 64 oz mug where-ever I go so this will only be a little extra. The funny thing about this is that I would have packed snacks for my son if we were leaving the house, just in case. Amazing how we forget about ourselves. Like I wrote before, I am gonna take care of me now. I am learning what I need to do and hope by time I see you all I will be a lot smaller.

Well, I am covering for someone else and need to get goig. I just wanted to stop by and say hey.

Michelle, congrats to Vito jr.

Becky, you are my inspiration. I am really looking forward to another 40lb loss. It must feel great for you. Keep up the good work.

Mom2dil.. The name was a collaboration with my son and his wife. Her middle name is Calla, like the Calla Lily. Different. Her name suits her. She is a delight and beautiful. Thanks for asking.

michelle9343: Congrats to your son! I kow you must be so very proud!

tggrdisney: Congrats to you and keep up the good work!

I will be leaving this friday for a week in Myrtle Beach and I need your help ladies. I want to try to stick to my new healthy habits but it will be hard. Our hotel will have a full kitchen so I am hoping to eat some meals there. I know that I always fall trap to eating out and late night eating when I am on vacation. I just want to maintain for the next week so if you ladies have any tips, advice or suggestions I would LOVE to hear from you! Thanks!

Sherry, keep moving! I generally get in more activity when I'm vacationing (desk job, you know?) and it really makes a difference.....run up and down the beach (OK..long walk?). When you have the choice when ordering, just remember, grilled over fried, fresh over canned/packaged, fruit over sweets (yeah right), watch those sauces. I find if I confine my sugar treat to the very end of the day, it doesn't seem to impact my 'what the heck the day is ruined, bring me another piece of cake' mechanism. Guess if the blood sugar plunge hits while I'm sleeping I'm ok Oh, try and have some good snacks on hand...even if you have to bring them....baked wheat crakers, plain almonds, raisins...that kind of thing.Have a great time and don't worry if things get a little out of hand...if you make good selections two meals out of three you're doing good.

 

[ibouncetoo]

Reporting in this am with a one and one-half pound loss! I've now hit the 15 pound mark...WOOOO HOOOO!

Now to be very careful at our Claim Jumper dinner tonight. Actually, that shouldn't be too hard, they have wonderful wholesome selections. Peg and I are having dinner tonight with Disneynut1955 (Dave & Monica) who are on our cruise! They were kind enough to pick up some DCL beach towels for us on their recent cruise, so Peg and I will have a visual reminder poolside to keep us swimming just a few more laps

ONWARD & DOWNWARD Everyone!

 

[clynne]

Sherry...oooh, have fun in Myrtle Beach!! I like Jackie's suggestions to keep moving and bring your own snacks. If it were me, I'd work to get one meal a day as a big, dark green leafy salad with unfried protein (grilled chicken, anyone?) and minimal dressing. If I can have a good protein at a meal, it helps keep me going until the next one. Have fun!!!!

Jackie....WHOOPEEEEEE!!!!! Congratulations! The big 1-5!!! Yeahhhh!!! You'll be all skinny-minny for Minnie at DL next weekend!!! Have fun on your mini DIS meet with Dave and Monica tonight.

Have a great week, all!

Carolyn

 

[tggrdisney]

Go Vito Jr & Jackie

I know see a loss keeps me going....

Jackie, great advice!

Stay away from extra sodium....the hotter it is at the beach the more water you will retain...

Water, Water and more Water! Keep drinking it....this will help.

Becky in NJ

 

[faireygod mother]

Wow what great advice. I agree with it all. I find that the more water I drink, or flavored water with splena, the less I eat.

Have a great trip Sherry. You could stop by and pick me up on your way

Okay reporting in. I am down 1lb for a grand total of 19. I am gonna have to work to hit that 20 mark.

Becky, PLease, please, please adjust your tracker. I keeps me motivated and now I feel like I am stuck.

Good going Jackie, keep up the good work.

Jackie please add Bicky to our list. I am hoping when we add up the total at the end we will have lost a whole person. Wow would't that be fun.

 

[clynne]

Dee...that's great! Especially considering all the excitement of your week! I would have been closing one eye and squinting when I got on the scale after all the Liliahna partying. Good for you!

Trying to help lose that person...

Carolyn

Jackie....WHOOPEEEEEE!!!!! Congratulations! The big 1-5!!! Yeahhhh!!! You'll be all skinny-minny for Minnie at DL next weekend!!! Have fun on your mini DIS meet with Dave and Monica tonight.

Carolyn

It will be a looooooooooooooooooooooooong time before I'm a skinny Minnie. It will also be a while before I'm at Disneyland....will delay till July 8 or 15 weekend, still working on the details.

Had a brief meet with D&M, they are both still sick (in bed with colds for several days), but still drove down to the restaurant to meet and bring us the Castaway Cay beach towels they had picked up for us. We chatted for about 20 minutes, then sent them back home to bed with plans to meet up later. Both are VERY NICE PEOPLE!

 

[faireygod mother]

Well we are sorry to hear that they are so sick. Here is some (magic Potion) to help them get better.

 

[clynne]

Oh, Jackie, if you want to meet while you're in Anaheim, let me know. I have a girlfriend coming to visit the weekend of the 23rd, so that wouldn't have worked for me, but maybe we could do July...still working on coming to Phoenix, but the kids have so much stuff planned, it's hard to find two days in a row. Would it be really that extravagant to come out for the day??

So, having survived the birthday party and sissy's actual birthday yesterday, I somehow managed to add one pound to our Fictitious Person of Weight. I don't know how...I'm not arguing with it. I spent days beating myself up for the frosting I scraped off a piece of cake. Silly. Yes. But, man, it did a number on my psyche. I'm grateful for losing the pound and feel better without the garbage in my body. It was not worth it.

How nice are Dave and Monica to come out to meet you when they were sick! I hope they're feeling better soon.

Take care all...Carolyn

Hi Gang! Glad to see you are all doing so well - Hi Becky!!!

I have stabilized (yes, so soon) and haven't been as good as I had been, but I'm not worrying - next week should be better for me to get back to the gym - as far as the program - I'm doing ok - a couple days here and there I'm fighting to stay on plan - but I'm doing some spiritual work and it's bringing up all kinds of emotions - I know B O R I N G. Anyway, the news on the weight loss - is that I am still excited about the changes - even going off plan and not working out this week - I haven't gained so that in itself is progress.

Carolyn - We would LOVE to see you in Anaheim - sorry we are missing Wendy -but that weekend just didn't work. I have to let Jackie know which weekend is best for me - which I'll do here in a moment - and then she can check the time share - although she made mention of staying at CandyLand???? or something...which is fine with me.

DEE - I am so incredibly happy for you about the birth of your dear GD!!!! What a beautiful name! My mother's name was Lillian - so you must know how much I did the Lily part...especially.

Ok, I better get back to work - two huge projects this month - but it makes time fly. I hope the horses will get to the next level of health - so I can make chat next tuesday - sorry to have missed you all....

Michelle - Jackie was so sad when you logged off right when she logged on - she told me about that.

Ok, gals - keep up the good work. O & D!!!

(P.S. I cannot tell you how many times over the course of the last week I thought about you all!!!)

 

[faireygod mother]

Peggy Jo, stay strong and you will make it.

Carolyn...way to go. I have to tell you that I too beat myself up. I am glad now that I am doing WW becasue I get to make the choice on what I want to eat and it has been an improvement on my self inflicted but whooping.

We should name our virtual person that we are creating. Right now she is an adolescent and weighs 93lbs and still counting.

Have a great day

 

[clynne]

Thanks, Dee. I needed that. It's been a tricky week here for me. Nothing to complain about, just gotta get a grip and get on, you know?

She's 93 lbs...hmmm...there are lots of teenage Megans (choose your spelling) and Katelynns hovering around my oldest. Maybe we could change her name as she grows in size!

I know I didn't start with you all and I'm not on the first page, but if you want to boost the Fictitious Person of Weight's (name to be determined) size, you can add my 15 since Jan (or 5 since starting to post on this thread). (Personally, I live off the 15, not the 5!)

Peggy, you have a great attitude. Keep up the spirits and the rest will follow! Work out those emotions at the gym!! CandyLand?? Is that a hotel? If it's all pink, DD would be in heaven!

O & D, ladies....Carolyn
