Roll Call. Oct.19,02 Cruisers Continued...

[Schrolls]

Welcome Back, Jeanne. Glad you had a good trip to see your friend's house (and shop and eat).

Sandy - I remember, weigh-in day!! I vote for just tracking pounds lost instead of inches but I'll do what the majority says. Have you seen the W.I.S.H. thread. We may all be able to get some ideas there.

Bonnie - the solution to your dilemma is to just go ahead an booked for this year on 11/29 and you'll be there with me. You won't have to babysit and you'll get to see Darren a year earlier!!!

Denine - I saw the pictures. Kaleigh is soooo cute. Looks like you all had a good time.

Julie - glad Makenzie is better. Keep the Jack Daniels away from Garry.

Lori - where are you? I hope you aren't still drowning in cookies!

Barb - glad to you back posting. Hope Mom bounces back from the tooth pulling soon. We miss her here.

I feel spring in the air today. We are supposed to hit 72 today!! I'm starting to see new life on the trees and a few spring flowers beginning to bloom. Wish I didn't have to go to work! Maybe I'll try to get out at lunchtime today just to feel the warmth.

Have a great day, everyone!

I enjoyed "Fat Tuesday" at work. We had danish & donuts. Sorry all you dieters It won't be long before I will be back on my diet. I gained weight this winter since it hasn't been dog-walking weather & that is my ONLY form of exercise!

Tonight I am going to a "Fashion Show" but I am really going for the Chinese Auction. I never win anything but it is alot of fun

Out of the shaving, waxing, etc. debate. OUT OF THE LOOP AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!

Pretty miserable this morning but the weathermen are predicting a "warm up". I am really tired of rain & snow. Hope you all have a great day. Toodles JEANNE

Happy Weigh in Wednesday. Let me be the first to announce that my goal will be 34 pounds. Ouch! See why I HAVE to do something and NOW! Sounds good about the inches, Susan. I will do that on my own.

Welcome back Jeanne. You and toodles were missed.

Heidi and I are down with the stomach flu today. It was so weird that we came down with it at the very same time. Cross your fingers for Ted. Shoot, no ginger ale in the house so I have to go out and get some. Just what I want to do is go shopping when I feel absolutely miserable. At least I don't have the little ones today!

 

[Schrolls]

OK, my goal is 23 pounds!!! I'm gonna need a lot of encouragement!! To make me feel better, I got hightlights in my drab hair today!

I can't stay on the DIS boards now, I have to go visit homework h$@%.

Later!

 

[wildernessgirl]

My goal is 20-25lbs. I need LOTS of help! Today, I hadn't gain anything I am happy to day, but I hadn't lost either. Here's to another week before next weigh in!

 

[Schrolls]

Good Morning!

Today's goal: drink lots of water and PORTION control! We can do this!!!

THINK THIN! LATER!

 

[jiminyC_fan]

Barb, Sally and Denine, did you forget you Wednesday Weigh In? Not too late. Report today!

Do you know how hard a diet is after the flu? You have to drink and eat but nothing sounds good. Your body grabs every calorie it gets after being starved. This might be a bad couple of days. Susan is so right. Let's drink a lot of water. Use salad plates instead of dinner plates to help in the portion control. WE CAN DO THIS!

Where is everyone? I am feeling better and nothing to talk about. We need some more posts.

hi

I have had a few bad days....I had an abcessed tooth and went to the dentist Tues. He drilled a hole in it and drained it and then decided to start a root canal. My face has been swollen and it still is....it was a week Wed all this started so losing weight was the last thing on my mind. I was living on pain pills and am now trying not to even take aspirin....I hate taking medicine. Doing pretty good as far as pain pills go...haven't had anything since about 2 yesterday.

Ok, I weighed myself this morning and would like to lose 40 lbs but know 35 lbs would be a better goal....if I could lose 6 l/2 lbs this month I would be happy. I need to take it one month at a time. I try to drink a lot of water and that isn't hard as I like water if the glass is full of ice. I am trying not to eat bread, etc You know all the carbs you really like.

I hope to get back to Curves in a week or so....that really helped me before. I lost ll lbs and 7 3/4 inches in a month...This was before my two cruises, Christmas,etc. Of course I put it back on and I would hate to think what would have happened if I hadn't lost the weight. I have lost 5 lbs this week as I couldn't eat very well....so 6 more and I will be back to where I was before the cruises.

We can do this.....if you can't exercise, go walk. Dick and I are going walking at the mall this morning. That is what I did before....go to Curves 3 days and walk with Dick 3 days....it really works.

How many are there doing the weight loss? Good luck everyone...we need it when it comes to losing. I often wondered why you could eat a pound box of candy and put on 5 lbs....yet you can go without food for a day and only lose a pound. Doesn't seem fair does it?

 

[Denine]

Yes, I forgot to weigh myself yesterday and again today. My ultimate goal is 30 pounds, but would be quite happy with 20.

We haven't booked any cruise yet, just starting the preliminaries. We don't think Key West is appropriate for Kaleigh, and don't wish to pay for a port we won't go to. That is why we are choosing the Eastern for next year. Besides, I need to upgrade my diamond bracelet in St. Martin!

Sue: It loks like Spring has made it your way. Don't rub it in!!!!!!!!!!!! It is still snowing here and only in the 20's.

Sally: Hope your teeth feel better soon.

Sandy: Hope your and Heidi are feeling better.

Julie: What are we doing tomorrow? You can come here or we can go there. It doesn't matter to us.

 

[Mickey02]

Good Morning!!

Sorry I missed the weigh in yesterday. I was really busy

What time frame are we looking at for the weight loss??
I have 2 goals. 15 pounds by graduation (End of May)
and 30 pounds by our Surprise Disney vacation.

Patty is ready to book. So I guess we are booking on the Oct
16th Eastern. Glad to hear Denine and Jerry are going too.
Kaleigh will be close to the age of my neice's baby. They will
be able to play together.

We are on our way!! Oct 2004

Barb, there really isn't a time frame for the weight loss. Because there are so many different pounds to lose and everybody's metabolism is different, I think that we continue supporting until the final person has lost.

Sally, sorry that your tooth was so difficult but it sounds like you are doing better. Ultimately, I would like to lose 40 pounds, too, but that would put me at my old weight which my family always hounded me that I was too skinny. So, I will try for 34 and see what I look and feel like. I am a bad person because I look at the pounds and dress size rather than my body.

Happy cruizin to all you Oct. 16th people.

Bonnie, you lurker. Get off that status and POST!

 

[Schrolls]

I think that we continue supporting until the final person has lost.

I assume this means "lost" their pounds but "won" reaching their goal!!! Listen to me and my posittive attitude. Never mind that I blew it on the portion control for dinner (2 hamburgers!!). Tomorrow is another day and it will NOT include hamburgers!!

Short post for me. I want to see Survivor tonight. Missed it the last 2 weeks.

Later!

 

[Denine]

Where is everyone?????

I have to try to remember to weigh myself tomorrow!

TTFN!!!!

 

[wildernessgirl]

Hi everyone! Just checking in! Nothing going on tonight. Just trying to catch up on my computer stuff.


I wonder how Darren is doing in his training? I will be thinking of him on Saturday, that's for sure!

 

[Schrolls]

Good Morning.

This thread is toooo quiet. What is happening to us?

Roll Call!! Everyone needs to check in just so we know you're OK.

Later!

 

[disneydudette1]

I'm OK! Just a bad couple of weeks. I think the weather is getting to all of us! We need the spring that you are getting Sue...please send it up North!!!!

Where's Lori? I emailed Diana...never heard a word back! I hope all is ok with her!

I was thinking of Darren yesterday. We should all have a Bon Voyage party on Saturday with the IM going and the ship sailing away...what do you all think? A little champagne? Then send him the transcript! Let me know what you all think. Denine we have to get you on AIM!

Off to work! TGIF!!!! For more reasons than you can imagine.

By the way... They are finally sending out the annoucement at work that I will be the new sup etc...and I have a release date...March 21 is my last day as a trainer! YEAH!!!!!

 

[Kristaia]

I think a send-off for Darren is great!!!I'm in.

Weight loss, shmate loss. Just kidding. I'm in, but don't have a scale (won't allow one in the house). I will weigh at the gym, but am in for a good 20 pounds. Would love to lose at least 3/4 of this by our trip in May.

We booked a house in St. Thomas for 10 days in May. Any takers? I really want to re-live the fun we missed out on Magen's Bay. We were there, but not with the "bushwhackers". That's o.k., we had plenty of rum punch and I got a big tennis bracelet. Hee hee.
What's in a bushwhacker? Any other fun tidbits about St.Thomas? We will be about 2 minutes from Magen's Bay in the Mahogany Golf Run addition. Sounds great right about now.

Warming up here, supposed to be in the 70's the next couple of days.

Krista

 

[Denine]

I weighed myself today. It was the same as the last time. At least it wasn't more!

Krista: 10 days in St. Thomas sounds fantastic! We are going to Disney in May. We will finally get some Spring, even if we have to leave to do it!

Bonnie: Yeah!

I know I have to get on AIM. I just haven't had time to figure out how to do it.

Jerry is getting a raise and a bonus this year at work!!!!!!!!!!!! Last year, he didn't get either.

I am working on cutting down on disgusting, junk e-mail. Everytime I get the mail, I stick it in the block e-mail section. So far, it is cutting down on the amount I receive. The last thing I need are bigger boobs! I got rid of the one's I had!

 

[Mickey02]

Good Morning!!

Today is Friday and I am soooo glad. Seems I am usually
happier on Friday.... Hummmmmm go figure!

I have been trying to get this posted for over an hour but
I keep getting interupted. Don't these customers know I need
to post BEFORE I can take care of their needs!

Going to a movie tonight and maybe scrapbooking on Sunday.
Need to shampoo my carpets tomorrow.

I AM SOOOO READY FOR A DISNEY VACATION!!!!!!
