PlantmastrM - The hubby does inhalers for his asthma, with the indoor plants I think its more the dirt that attracts moss and mold. Mold really seems to affect him. And of course the pollen, I've tried to bring all kinds of cut bouquets and living houseplants in and he has a flair. We dont even open our windows b/c of the outdoor triggers. I really miss the fresh air blowing through the house, I think thats why I enjoy the gardening so much. And he is extremely flexible with whatever I want to plant or do to the yard, its our compromise. :-) Beachgrub, I love the sound of the "gold dust alyssum"! I have a spot picked out for some already, but I've only seen white, of course, and purple. I will be looking that one up! I went out today and found 5 more of my pots sprouted. I worry about the weather and will be researching their hardiness. I made a big rookie mistake....I planted 100+ pots without a clear understanding of hardiness and tenders...somehow I knew it was too soon for the veggies though. One smart thing I did was not to plant all the seeds, only half or less, so it will work out, ill replant if necessary.

So clean and pristine looking... they're all beautiful....don't think much of your decapitated shake though....I know, what else could you do, you certainly couldn't pull him out! Well at least you had the courage to handle the situation yourself, I would have gone screeming for someone else to do the dirty work.... Donna

Good Morning Ladies Donna good for you on your WI. Tell your DH we all have ups and downs with diets, just don't let it get you down and keep going. Sounds like you two are having fun with changing your eating life style and that is what it is all about making it work for you :) Guess what my DD told me to go to KOHL's and look for Lee brand jeans in the Tried and True style, her and I both have booties and it is hard to find pants to fit our waist without taking them in or wearing a belt, I hate belts I am bulky enough on my own! I found them they looked great BUT they were not on sale and Lunchlady does not buy unless it is on sale and I have a coupon for extra % off. I did spy some crop pants which I love, same brand same type style and they fit great, were on sale and I had a 15% coupon AND a $10 gift card I had gotten in the mail from the store!! The beauty of these pants is they come 9/10~~11/12 sized. I have not seen that in ages, the 9/10 too tight in the waist the 11/12 just right:) That is my problem my waist is not as small as the rest of me~~I have to go up a size to fit it. I will be getting these jeans for work as soon as they go on sale since I throw away all of my trusty big ones I liked so well~~~had too or DD's would burn them LOL!! I am off to visit my mom and my brother today in the next county and wearing my new crop pants:) Also a cute fall top my quilting pals gave me. Have a good one!!

I have been a member since 1998. Since that time WW has changed/repackaged the plan a few times. I found it frustrating that they kept changing things as just as I was comfortable and successful it was yet another new program. I finally stopped going 1 1/2 years ago when they switched to their newest program. I was given 7 extra points, but they also increased the point values of foods. Yet again another repackaging. At that point I had enough with the changes. I stick to the program that worked for me when I was first going. I kept all the literature and calculators that corresponds to that points program when I joined. I do miss the weekly meetings and weigh ins, as I am more successful and accountable with them. I've tried all the weight loss plans out there and WW was the one that worked for me. I lost 42 lbs with them in 1998 and managed to keep off most of it.
