WBRepo-Ship of Thieves-Remember the Magic Pt 8

[tink1963]

The main meeting should essentially be the getting started session, or at least that's how I'm handling it.

For new members, I'll encourage them to stay to review how to use the points finder a bit more.

I'll bet you received an email today from WW with even more information about the new "Momentum Plan."

I'm most excited by the new materials. I also love the suggestions in the new week 1 book for members who don't cook and would like to incorporate more store bought foods.

(that's all I'm going to say ...)

Thats saying enough for me. I did get the email and WOW I'm really liking what I'm reading. Not to sure about Set Points yet, but I'm sure Andrea will explain it, I just have to wait until a week from friday. I do track online too and am having fun exploring all that's new. And the way AP's are totaled up for the week, now thats new and cool. I guess it just adds additional WP's, right.

Happy Thursday everyone!

So there is a new plan at WW Ian? I may just have to go next week and give it a whirl!

 

[granmaz]

HI GAYLEAN!!! I hope you pass your test despite thinking you won't

Have fun. Marilyn and Cheri, have you guys bumped into each other at all?

We have only been in Epcot at the same time and I was so sure we would see Cherie, but no! I decided she must not be there.

We don't have any plans, other than some cozy long weekends.

Sukie likes New Year's Eve, while I personally don't. I find New Years Eve parties a bit depressing. Some years we had a few friends over, and some we've gone out clubbing (public transportion is free in Chicago from about 6:00 PM onward until about 4:00 AM in Chicago on New Years Eve).

Most recently we've been staying in. I think that's what we'll be doing again this year.

We aren't New Year people at all and usually miss midnight. I'm just glad when everybody gets back to work after the long break. Many businesses close the period between Christmas and New Year. It is a long time to have folk out wandering around the shops, particularly MEN!!!

Well I got through my first full day with Tom in the house and I did NOT smoke a cigarette. YEAH!!!!!

Thanks Jan.....one day at a time.....I had forgotten, thanks for the reminder. It works.

Happy Thursday everyone!

Hi V... I think there will be a few of us checking out the new plan...

Deb, just skimming thru and it seems you have been having some struggles remaining a non smoker. My cell phone is the same and I am just a phone call away anytime! Hang in there, it does get ALOT easier.

I am going to my mom tomorrow to hopefully make my Christmas cards. I love making cards. My Dis christmas list is longer than my family list so I have to get started, especially to send Marylin's before she leaves. I had a migrane today so didn't get much done, except I took a final. I got it done in less than 30mins and did well so now just 2 more to go.

Happy Thursday everyone!

Yes, the first new plan in YEARS!

They did a lot of research looking at successful members and what worked and also talking to members who were not successful, trying to understand what didn't work.

Then over a year they did additional testing with test groups further modifying the new plan (I know, that one of my members was part of focus group set of meetings that went on for 2 months in Chicago. She was not allowed to tell me anything about it).

Out of that came the new Momentum Plan.

Let's face it. Weight loss is easy. You eat less than you burn. Then you keep doing it until you reach your goal.

Though that is easier said than done. What's needed is plan that doesn't leave you hungry or feeling deprived because feelings of deprivation leads to giving up.

The new plan combines practices and habits into one plan.

I expected to come home to TONS of new postings, and what do I find bupkis.

Don't you people know that you are supposed to entertain me?

-----------------------------------

Today I called DVC and cancelled our January trip to WDW. So, I have points that were banked from last year, and my points that came around in August.

I now have more points than I know what to do with.

We are planning trips, we just need to be more emotionally ready, and until the dust settles on the bills, we just aren't in the right mental state.

Besides, Sukie things we should go when Cheri will have better weather in Chicago and can enjoy the city more.

Sure, he thinks about Cheri ... but does he think about me? Nooooo.

So, when is everyone planning trips to WDW? Now that our plans are up in the air, we're open to planning around meeting up with people.

By the way, I came across this today in the newspaper. It's on "Funny or Die" sort of like YouTube.

It is called, "Proposition 8, The Musical"

I hope no one is offended:

Well here I am blabbing away all by myself. No one to talk to. Just me and my radio. Ain't misbehavin'

No wait, that's a song, isn't it.

 

[iankh]

You can tell that Marilyn is not in her native Britain.

She's suddenly gone very quiet.

You know those British. They like to appear very polite.

Awwww..that's sweet! Plus, if the weather is nicer, she and Dianne can run wild through the streets of Chicago. ALSO, keep in mind, I'm available as a Cheri back-up for the first half of the year!

ALSO, keep in mind RENTING OUT a few points to a good friend who may want to pop over prior to the Sept cruise (WHICH you will NOT need to cancel....trust me....I've put in a word with the "powers that be").

I have a favor to ask

Could one of you crafty types (Grumpy John, Ian, Monica (from the begging on that other thread perspective) ) create me a door sign for my mom for our NYE cruise????

Her name is JoAnne (we call her Grammie) and she isn't picky about characters, so whoever you think is cute and new years eve"y" would be nice

We are sailing on the Magic 12/27/08-1/3/09

Thanks!!!!!

My dad called tonight and asked if I would come pick him up at the mall and take him home. I agreed and Matt and I went to get him, it was a nice visit and he seemed normal. I only see his a few times a year as my mom is scared for me to go around him.

Well when we came home PJ was running around the house with a Chick-Fil-A cup on his head. I was laughing at him and he finally got it off. I told him to stop getting into things but he doesn't listen. He looked at me very upset and crying (he has a broken tear duct so it looks like hes crying sometimes). I felt bad but he still didn't learn he is into things again.

Just got the news that Raizin passed away this morning, just before 7am.

 

[HollyTyler]

Morning. Quick hi. Having breakfast with Ann andAlbert then going shopping.

Eating at the Cali Grill tonight so hope my skirt fits!

Is this the UK programme or a US one?We have enjoyed watching a few of them and yes it is a very moving programme.

One more day to better health Deb!!! You're showing them.

I hope in my skimming I don't miss anything important.

It's a US show.

Glad you're having a good time Marilyn!

I saw a commercial about the secret millionaire. Last night was the 2 hour season premiere. I recorded it and didn't see it yet, but from what everyone is saying on here....I can't wait to watch it.

I had never heard of it, so I guess I got lucky and caught it. I used to never watch TV except for Survivor and Desperate Housewives and Extreme Makeover Home Edition. I've recently started watching a tiny bit more and caught that new show while flipping channels.
