Weight Watchers Chat - Part II

I lost 1.2 this week!! I was very excited.

This is going to be a hard week - the kids are on spring break and more importantly Easter candy!!! I went shopping yesterday and broke down and had a Cadbury creme egg...they are my favorite and I decided it was worth the points since you can only get them at Easter!! But they had this amazing looking Reese's egg that it took all of my willpower to avoid!!

I love the Mario cake - I have taken a cake decorating class and loved it but it was too much energy for me to bake the cake and the icing so I don't do it much anymore...I also admire that you had the willpower to not eat all the icing!!

Great job on your loss!

Congrats on the loss! I too love Cadbury eggs, did you see the mini ones? One point each, but they are tiny! Good job resisting the pb eggs. I love pb cups (we live in Hershey, with the smell of chocolate is always in the air

My best friend just moved from here, she lived in Palmyra. Her husband got a job transfer to Mississippi. She LOVED the Hershey area and misses it.

One thing I like to do when bulk cooking on weekends is make a big batch of meatballs made from 93/7 beef. Same points as 93/7 turkey, but family likes these meatballs better than turkey ones. I make a big batch of 64 meatballs and first freeze them on a cookie sheet. Then once they are individually frozen, I can transfer them to freezer bags. I just take out a few at a time as needed.

Meatballs will make my daughter very happy. Great idea. Thanks

Oh...I didn't make clear, after I form the balls, I bake in the oven for 15 minutes...THEN I freeze them.

Any other Italians out there making Easter bread? I want to make it as it is a huge family tradition but, I know it will be a huge temptation for me. Already today hasn't gone well for me . Oh, well tomorrow is another day.


I really like the meatball idea too. Shrimp stir fry is good too if you like seafood. Or I make a white pizza that is yummy.

Oh...I didn't make clear, after I form the balls, I bake in the oven for 25 minutes...THEN I freeze them.

Ok, I was wondering if you cooked them or not before freezing.

OMG! I need to go to bed. I meant 15 minutes, not 25!

She misses it a lot she loved all her neighbors and being close to Hershey. It is a very small world, too funny.

I am going to have to miss my meeting this week . I have to go to the dentist unexpected and that was the only time they could get me in. Unfortunatly, I won't be able to catch another one this week. I may try Friday but not sure. Anyway, as I was thinking of missing my meeting I was thinking that is where the tornado went. So, I go on the website of our town and the community center is closed due to a lot of damage . The thing is our community center is in an old school. They are building a brand new community center directly behind it and is due to open this summer. The old school is getting knocked down. I'm wondering if they may not fix it at all cause it suppose to get leveled anyway. I really hope they figure something else out cause I really would hate not to go to my regular meeting. Anyway, thanks for letting me vent out loud.

Congratulations on your loss!

If they are demolishing it anyway, it would seem silly to fix it for temporary use. I wonder if the WW meeting could be changed to a different building in the interim. Around here, while we do have some full service WW centers, many meetings are held at churches, shopping centers, and community centers. Good luck with that. I'd be lost without my weekly meeting.

I hope everyone has a great day!

Just back from weigh-in - I was down 3.8 pounds this morning (makes up for the 2.4 pounds I gained last week) - so a total of 38.6 pounds that I am rid of - gone forever!

That's a major bummer - hopefully they can find another place to hold your meetings - good luck at the Dentist

I would think they could find another place. But maybe not for this week and I don't know what type of damage there was. We have a fairly new library with a cultural center and some of the activites have moved to the lake recreation center. So, we will see. I will keep you all posted.

Tammy, that is awesome! I'd be walking on air. I have my WI tomorrow and I'm pretty sure there will be a gain. Last week was just too good to be true.

I had to miss my meeting this morning due to a schedule change at work. I'm going to try for the meeting tomorrow morning since my schedule will be different for the next few weeks. I'm going to miss my morning mall walks with a friend and weigh-ins so I'm hoping the weather clears up so I can walk or run at night.

Tammy ~ Congrats on your great loss!
