Hi all! I took a small break from DISing (for me that was about 1.5-2 days) but I am back I hope I didn't miss anything too big while I was gone.

Congratulations Carol!!!! That is wonderful news!!!!!

Oh any clues on today's riddle?

 

[Breezy_Carol]

Thanks again. I told the kids I would take them to Taco Bell to celebrate because we used to go there alot on Wednesdays when DH works late. I am checking Taco Bell's nutrition information so I can make a wise choice

 

[love the magic]

CONGRATULATIONS CAROL!!!!

I knew ALL DAY that this was going to be your day!

 

[Breezy_Carol]

So are we going for 100 pages tonight?

 

[helenabear]

I think we could do it Carol!

 

[love the magic]

go for the GOLD!!!! 100 it will be!!! Believe it - achieve it!!!!

Carol...did you do the Taco Bell run yet? I have my handy dandy companion home....if you need anything looked up! Let me know!

 

[DonnaW]

CONGRATULATIONS, CAROL!!!!

I hope that both Lauras feel better soon...

We got the dreaded white stuff last night; I really, really don't like winter (WHY do I live in Chicago???)

Hope you all have a wonderful evening!

 

[Boo'sMom]

Carol.....congratulations....you are an inspiration to me....as I sit here thinking I'd really like some of those GS cookies...

Been a ucky afternoon, and I'm a stress eater....so I'm avoiding the kitchen like the plague.


Oh yeah, I've joined WW online, so if you ever need anything entered into the recipe builder, just let me know and I'll do it for you.....


One more post closer to 100 pages...and look<<<<<<<<< I hit 1600 without realizing it.....

 

[helenabear]

Donna, sorry you all had snow. I was teasing Dan earlier though that I was going to move to Chicago this year since y'all had no snow compared to us

Steph, congrats on you 1600 posts!!!!

 

[love the magic]

That recipe builder is pretty amazing...it's especially nice around the holiday's when you don't want to ammend your traditional choices, but still want to stay on program and make an effort to count your points! It's well worth the investment, but I think between Stephanie and I we've pretty much got it covered for any green-thonged seekers of points calculations on-line!!!!

100 HERE WE COME!!!

Congrats Stephanie on the 1600!!!!

Is WW hard to do? A friend of mine was curious about it and I had no clue since I do terrible with diets.

One more to bring us to 100

 

[Boo'sMom]

I don't think WW is hard to do...and the reason I think that is because nothing is "forbidden" so it's not like really giving anything up...it's making choices about what you choose to eat, and adjusting your diet to fit within those ranges.

I was telling Carol the other day that I'm jealous of everyone who does Atkins because it seems like the pounds just fly off...but I know I could never do it...I'm such a carb queen, I'd feel deprived within hours......

 

[love the magic]

I'm a lifetime member... lost my weight 15 years ago - and all I can say is....this is WAY easier than WW ever was in the last 40 years....very easy to follow.....but the BEST part is, you can really eat the foods you enjoy (vs. diet foods) as long as you figure out the points for it and eat more reasonable portions....HECK....I even had a layered margarita in EPCOT (along with S'mores in Prime Time and Ice Cream 2 days, fried EVERY day with my lunch) and managed to come back having maintained my weight!

 

[love the magic]

and also - we're NOT just doing this temporarily (sad but true)....this is for LIFE....I think that's WAY too long to deprive myself of ANYTHING!!!! I'd rather eat the way I intend to be able to LIVE long term and manage my weight that way!

 

[Baboo]

Congrats on hitting 1600 Stephanie!

It's hard to believe that we're almost to 100 pages.

I lost all of my weight by just watching the amount of all the foods I ate. I was allowed a certain number of portions for each food group every day and just stuck to that. My Dr. was really pleased today with the amount of weight I've lost.

 

[helenabear]

Thanks!!! I think it would be simple to do then. This person has tried the Food Mover and did great with it... something happened, cards were lost and they were wondering if WW was worth it as well. I think they'll do okay since from what I can remember the Food Mover was similar in counting up all types of food, but WW seems even easier since the Food Mover was (I think) put into different groups. I'll tell them to go for it
