Hi Jen and all... Wow I never heard of someone taking the candy for the soldiers. Wish I had, we bought a lot of candy because we never know if we will get a hundred or no children. This year we got three. I guess the malls sponsor trick or treat walks around here, Which is safer, but now I have a lot of candy here. I also am a diabetic and love Reese's also. I have more than enough candy here, ever so tempting.... I have encouraged my own children 23, 21 and hubby to take the candy to work for them and thier coworkers, which by the way no one here even needs candy. I have started back on my hobbies for the holiday's This weekend I finish a baby afghan and started another one for one of my clients. Next the picking of cones and ribbons for the Christmas evergreen arrangements which need to be started and completed in about 3 weeks time.  I am in the process of making my own Christmas cards and need to get them out for the day after Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving til the week before Christmas I will be busy making the evergreen arrangements. Hopefully I will be so busy I will stay away from food. lol. Well take care all  talk soon.

Good Day / week to all. I got tied up and never weight in Friday.. I will weigh in this friday, I have been doing ok, not great but I am trying... I hope all is well with the rest.. tc and have a great week.

Sandy at this point I am happy to not gain... I am having issues with the scale it lies lol...Sandy 1.3 is over a pound of butter (old weight watcher).. that is great...I stayed the same this week. I do exercise everyday, and sort have watch what I eat, of course I cheat, my kids help me do that lol. I have the choice to say no but I never do. Everyday is a new day. Now the stress of the economy is killing me. I am not worried about the market in a way it will fix itself I am sure (I am an optimist),  whats upsetting me is worrying about the prices of groceries, heat and taxes. Not just for me but my friends and children how will they all survive. Anyway another day on that thought. Oh and retirement, I wonder when that will be lol.. I too would go crazy if I didn't work, but it does sound nice. Have a great week all. It can only get better.... Pat

GM all! Thank you all. I have to go soon to have blood work done, will talk to the doc about how tired I have been. I did walk on the scale lol this am but I was fully dressed with shoes so I had gained,(queen of excuses lol) but I will really check it out on Friday. My days away were relaxing, I did over eat but was active. I hope it will at least be a wash this week and can start fresh next week. Hope everyone has a great week.

OK this is the second time I have typed this , doing something funky I think. I go on vacation Thursday. I will have a new beginning next Tuesday. My plan is to try to lose or at least stay the same again for this week, but I will not be able to weigh in. Anyway I did weigh in on Friday and thought I posted it. Have a great week PAT

Hi everyone, Sherrie, you sound like me. I always have the best intentions and then they blow up in my face. I plan eating well balanced meals and then things happen. It does seem like I don't have time to LOSE weight, which is crazy it shouldn't be this hard lol. I am the type of person if I start out eating breakfast for some reason I eat all day. I was told a banana will fill you up and stays with you.. I do not know if that is true I am allergic to bananas so I can not try that theory. Fiber fills and stays with you longer maybe that is why the English held you. Perhaps the toast didn't have enough fiber, just a thought. I also found out the real road and treadmill are so different. The same thing happen to me a couple of years ago. I was doing 5 miles a day on the treadmill so I was asked to do the 5 mile cancer walk. Well I thought that would be a breeze. Right... wrong my calves cramped up and feet hurt. I did finish it, sat down and had a margarita go figure. I still do the treadmill everyday, I did stop for a bit, but have been back on for a couple of months now. Doesn't seem to help the weigh but does help the emotions. I have decided after reading your letter, which reminded me that I should increase the incline on my treadmiil, one for strenthening plus it may help the weight,  may burn more calories. I wish someone would give me a few ideas on low or free snack food. At this time I eat pretzels, pickels I do not like micro popcorn. Just a thought.. anyway... have a great weekend.

Good Morning all

I haven't logged my calories in a few days. I keep a mental note of about how many I use, lol too many but less than if I didn't think about it. I have a trip the middle of September I would love to lose another 5-6 lb which for my weigh is possible so I am working on that. I have been faithful in the exercise, I treadmill on workdays, so holidays are a double whammy, I don't eat right and I don't have time for the treadmill or other exercise unless you count the one arm bandit lol. Well the next couple of weeks I will be working hard on my goal. Hope everyone else is having a good week. Pat

Good Morning Everyone!

Pam, the last time I lost a lot of weight, eighty lbs (gained back) I used goals and it helped a real lot. I had a pair of jeans that was the total goal, but I had small number goals along the way. My first goal was to get under 300, then my next goal was big, I wanted to get to 269 which was one of my lower weights on one diet, then of course, 250 then just goals of ten lbs at a time, which worked. But then my life got complicated more than usual, I ate to satisfy frustrations, which lol didn't, doesn't work or really help. I Gained most of the weight back, stayed under the 300 barely but now working on it again. Talking to people on here does help, a gentle reminder we all have issues. So.. today should be an easy day to stay out of the food cabinet or fridge, I have jury duty. I have been a juror before and I really don't mind a single day trial but I am fearful of getting a long drawn out trial, lol I worry about things before they happen!Hopefully I won't even be chosen. Have a great day all! Good Luck... Good Luck on your weigh in today Pam, mine is tomorrow, my recorded weight day.

Good Morning all... I guess I love punishment.. I had a rough weekend starting with Friday late in the day.. So I satisfied my frustrations with food, fried food. As punishment I decide to weigh myself today.. gained 3 of the 10 lbs I lost last week. The week isn't over and I am back on track count calories. Hopefully by the real weigh in day Friday, I will have at least got back to my last Friday's start weigh. Life is a bunch of hills and valleys. Have a great day...

It is Friday, the weekend horrifying. I tend to over eat on weekends the most family is around. We have a cookout at the in laws.. stress. omagraf cchocolate is not my downfall, not to mention I am a diabetic. BUt honestly sweets were never my problem, food real food all food is . So I weighed in this fine AM I ... LOST 10lb... I am excited but well as I told someone else, hubby made a comment about well you use alli... but I have been using alli for over a year. I can never get a compliment from him. Heck he is only my husband lol....Oh yea I need to go record this in the log, for the record the logs to help at least for now.. Everyone good luck this week have a great Day...

Well today is Thursday, weigh in tomorrow. The lie detector lol the scale. I will surely tell if one has been honest with ones self. I had a cup of steam clams last night, I thought they were real bad for you. I was shocked to see it isnt that horrible, the butter well.. but still a cup of clams with 1 pat of butter isnt that many calories. Well the bottom line, I didnt blow the whole week by eating the clams my daughter got me. I am feeling lazy today, and not wanting to do the treadmill, but I did PEAK at the scale and well, it has helped I will get on the treadmill after I finsh this post. Well today is a new and another day good luck to all, have a great day!

I hope I am doing this right. It's Monday morning, a weekend of not making the right choices. Took my sugar reading higher than I would like but hopefully lower tomorrow, I have a doctors appointment tomorrow, which for the record I thought was today. LOL. Monday morning a new start, thank you Missy for answering me, there really is someone out there. I will weigh in on Friday and hope to see a change in the numbers, lower hopefully. My plan this week is to say within the calories, plus I do do my treadmill daily for a half hour, well 5-6 days a week. I found out that wii bowling uses 208 calories in an hour. It's  fun, and better than just sitting in front of the tv so I am adding that to the list to do daily after work. According to the calorie counter program I need to lose 144 lbs, that is scary to me. I keep telling myself 1 lb at a time lol... Help it will be a long road...
