Hola from beautiful CANCUN....

I saw it was quiet in here, so I decided to post and shake things up a bit LOL.

We are having a wonderful time and I have had at least 1 Margarita for each of you. I am going to slow down today and just try to have a lot more water. The resort is breathtaking. I have to take some pictures, but I have been just too busy having FUN.

I hope everyone is doing well and I will try to check in here again before I return. (I actually had a little work to do on the computer).

Adios mi amigos!!!

Hola Raeanne, Glad you were able to check in! I am jealous.............of the margaritas you are sucking down! LOL Have fun.

It's a typical Monday morning for me only it's deadline week.......ugh.
Not going to make my goal but my number is respectable even though it's less than I did last month. Oh well.

Everyone needs to check in and say hello this week.

Hi Guys: John - Count me in on the "guys" weekend too. You know how I love golf and a steak!!!! Patti - glad to hear you got your parcel, hope it was all in one piece. Just in case I'm not back on the 20th. Happy, Happy Birthday. French Licks - still get a kick out of the name (but my DD likes it more) - I have no preference, I will fly out of Detroit to where ever this place is located. Keep your fingers crossed, just finished all the boob crunching and ultrasound. Hoping the lump in right one proves to be "nothing". Will report in. Liver lesions are being left alone, aparently nothing to worry about. MRI on liver showed the lesion in the breast. Not sure if I told you about this, but thought I'd better let you all know what's happening. (John, too much info I know) DH has now found the "right" fit yet for a job. Hopefully something will come along soon as he is driving everyone nuts. (but the meals are fabulous). He is cooking completely SS and have all trimmed down some. (He's only 158 lbs., so he really doesn't need to be trimmed) I have to figure out how to send pictures so they can be posted, is it Marci who is taking care of that? I'll check in later. Take care Joanne

Hi all, Yeah, I know I don't come by often, but I read more than I post. Apparently BJ has been away for awhile? I saw the post by Susan asking if anyone was food combining, and it looks like no one replied. What is everyone here doing now? I think I eat closer to level 2, staying away from sugar and white flour, etc, and most carbs, even whole grain. I actually do better when I stay away from even the healthy carbs. I try to do lots of veggies, and still do my chocolate low-carb protein shakes. I haven't lost any more, though. It's frustrating, for as faithful as I am to eating "right". I remember how excited and happy I was when I lost 34 lbs. after only 3 months of following SS. My body adjusted, though, unfortunately. I've been watching Americon Idol, too. They are all so good now, it's hard to see any of them leave. I've been watching Heroes, too, and Office Space, and renting DVD's from Netflix. Just finished watching Pursuit Of Happiness, and currently on The Secret. I'm totally into computer virtual worlds now, and playing Myst Online, Morrowind, and Return To Mysterious Island. I've finished 10 oil paintings since I got here to Hawaii. I know some of you still remember when I moved. I'm not at all sorry I moved here, as it's a good place, but I get lonely, too. Not lonely enough to go through the winters anymore though. I think they will come and visit me again either this summer or next. My granddaughters are awesome girls, and I couldn't be happier with them or prouder of them. I'll keep checking in with you. You are all important to me though I haven't been much involved lately. I wish we didn't have to lose track of people. Take care and eat healthy! Amy

QOD: Youngest DD went to a friend's house to spend the night. 2nd youngest DD had a summer slumber party here-I don't know why they call it that; no one sleeps and she has a party to go to today! 15 y.o DD was out last night with 18 y.o. BF - he now has his own apartment whcih she likes to visit. She starts pilot ground school today 8-6 for the next few Saturdays and Sundays. Oldest DD got a job running projectors at the local movie house, so she was working the last couple nights till 3 a.m. w/ the "Pirates" openings? I haven't yet. Me, I'm walking dogs, watering lawns, studying philosophy, ethics, and moral obligations, topped off with a load of meteorology and LOTS of laundry and weeding! I am going to spend an hour in my office as well--cleaning! DH is taking the bar study course 24/7, so things are running smoothly around here, really. GOOD LUCK, ERICA!!! Pictures, please! You are our "SS Daily Queen" mascot EVERY DAY! Zig~ Hope the funeral was okay for you. Those things are tough, but bring people together---and that's a good thing. Dee- Good to hear you're continuing the walking, but sorry about the pain of all. Syill thinking of your co-worker and her DH... Donna~ Did you get to go out to dinner? Raeanne: The questions on the body shape quiz didn't give many options for answers. I was an hourglass too, but have never thought of myself this way---I really think I have a boy's shape, sort of squarish w/ large shoulders. I was wondering how much stock to put in that quiz. Work-outs with enough weight to cause a fair amount of resistance is a great way to prevent bone disease and just plain be healthier---so I'm foregoing the femmy looks for that. Besides, as I get older, I sort of want to look like I can kick some @ss---lol!!! As well, I have really enjoyed increasing the weight at the gym from time to time--POWER! John-cats yet? Besh-CONGRATS on the 2.6 at WW Friday!!!!!!!!! I read about you unpacking your canvas bags and had to laugh---I have the same deal after an outting! Sounds like your weekend is FULLLLLLLLL! Be good! Milkdud~ What kind of swimming do you do? I've been hitting the pool for low key water walking twice a week. It's just a nice way for me to mellow out really. Maddie! Let us know how the Tedster's concert is. We are going to see Kenny Loggins in August at Saint Michelle Winery--1/2 hour from our house--so beautiful out there. Good luck on Monday's interview---I didn't catch what kind of business you're interviewing for... NHSuzanne~ You are so lucky to live where you do. Haven't heard you talking about DH and his sons lately...how's that going? Marci~ Cookie Lady! Good luck--taste and walk, taste and walk! It's sunny here---RARE, so I better finish my indoor stuff so I can get outdoors! Make this weekend a good one! Has anyone seen "The Inconvenient Truth?" (The Al Gore movie) and Has anyone seen "Pirates of the Carribean?" I haven't seen either but want to.

Happy hump day! ((Milkdud)) I am so very sorry about the loss of your friend. Hugs and prayers to you. Maddie, good to see you posting! Continued good thoughts and prayers head your way. Continued good thoughts prayers for BJ and Besh also. Someone asked about my remodel - today I got a tentative commitment from the bank for the new loan!! The sticky wicket is the real estate appraiser - he is tough to pin down. I live at the Jersey shore and he is in Bucks County, PA (west of Philly), an easy 1.5 to 2 hour run from here depending on his location there. He called me 2 weeks ago on a rainy Friday at 4:00 and left a message he wanted to come between 6-7 that evening. No good....I had plans. He left a message at 5:00 pm last night and wanted to come this morning between 10-11...hello, we work. Gave him a direct dial # at work and suggested Saturday AM as he has a place down here..said he wasn't sure he would be down but would let me know. Come on, a 3 day weekend with nice weather predicted why wouldn't he head to the shore?? My mortgage rep says they have had trouble with this guy before. I suggested there has to be someone else they use between Bucks County and the coast. We have to see...once he's done it looks like we're good to go!! Oh well, that's my rant for today. Hi and hugs to all. Have a great evening and stay safe. Donna

Hello and Hola Raeanne! I'd like some more description about the "FUN" you are having! LOL

I am so totally swamped at work and I literally don't know which end is up. Over the last week, I've taken the wrong folders into meetings! It's impossible to prepare for them; there are so many..........OK, now I just got another call to have a PRE meeting at 1:30 tomorrow for my 2:00 meeting tomorrow. Ya just can't win. I wanna retire........booooooooooooooo hooooooooooooooooooo!!

On the positive side, I did very well with my eating this weekend; only used 3 flex points. Things are looking DOWN on the scale too, but my official weigh-in is Wednesday at 11:30am.

Hope you all have a spectacular week!

Take care, eat healthy, and NEVER NEVER GIVE UP!

Buenos Dias Senora Raeanne! Como esta? Sounds like you are having a great time...what you remember! LOLOL

DeeMarie: You are doing so awesome...I really want to consider WW ...are you tailoring it to SS or are you enjoying carbs?

NHSuzanne: Ready for a cocktail yet?? LOLOL I remember those early spring rides and the horses being so frisky...little buck in their step!

SO's parents are in town and staying at our house....how do two older people make sure a mess? They are moving back up to IL from FL to be close to us. We have been worried about them being there in FL with no family close by. His Mom doesn't drive and his Dad can not drive at night...It has been a long long week. DD has been very patient with them but GAWD...enough is enough...they brought two extra suitcases of SH&* that they want to leave at our house. They are depression babies and so dang cheeeeeepppp. They filled the suitcases thinking that it is one less thing for the movers to move. What was in the suitcase you ask??? WOODEN HANGERS AND TOWELS! ARRGGHHHH Yesterday morning I was walking out of the bedroom and out comes "Mom" buck naked...she screamed ...I said...aww don't worry about it...It was kind of a "Somethings Gotta Give" moment.

I am in the process of waiting for paperwork from my company"s accountant to develop an offer for my boss. I think she must have pulled a number out of her you know what to throw at me...We share space with another company and I let both the owners know that my boss wants to sell her company. They cannot stand her and they were thrilled. They asked if I would let them help me come up with a counter offer. They are very business savvy and I would love to have their help!

Ok...I am off to make a good salad and try like heck to get this extra weight off me!

Gretchen,

I am all about eating within my points! Actually, the whole grain stuff is much lower in calories, so it pays to eat whole wheat pasta (3 points per cup) than the white stuff (4 points per cup). I tried to do it within the context of SS, but I get to eat more and be more flexible here. Most veggies are 0 points per cup (including raw carrots!), so I bring at least 2 cups of veggies with me to work each day....grape tomatoes and celery sticks, or cucumber slices and baby carrots...you get the picture. Most fruit is 1 point per serving. I think that you personally would probably be able to eat at least 20 points per day (goes by present weight and gradually goes down as you lose in order to lose more), so you see how great it is to fill up on veggies! They give you 35 flex points per week to use all at once, or spread out---however you need them. There is a website that gives you the points of most foods.

Here is my day of eating (note that I like to eat all day, so I spread out my food intake...no set rules at Weight Watchers...they say "you can eat anything, just not EVERYTHING" LOL):

8 am: 1 cup Kashi cereal (dry) with my decaf coffee
10 am: 6 oz Dannon Fit and Light Yogurt
Noon: 1 sandwich w/ low fat ham, ff cheese, mustard and "diet bread" (2 slices = 1 point); pickle, 1 cup of cherry tomatoes
2:00pm 10 baby carrots
4:00pm 1 pear
5:00pm exercise class (you can get back 2-3 points for this!!)
7:00pm 1 salad w/ oil vinegar, 1 large portion of fish (7 oz), asparagus, 1 cup of rice
9:00pm 1 point sugar-free Edy's all fruit ice pop

I may still have points left, because I haven't done the math for my dinner here. I've listed approximations here...I would only use 1 tablespoon of olive oil for a 3-point salad, etc. You will get used to the measurements. Anyway, I hope this helps you.

I've eaten pizza, ice cream, lasaagna, and still lost weight...you just need to count the points and plan the rest of your day/week accordingly!

Do NOT make me come to wake up each and every one of you!

Let us know you are doing!!

NH Suzanne, hope you are having a good week and that you get that one phone call that puts you where you need to be!

Maddie, hoping you have a smile on your face today.

Raeanne, I suspect you are nursing a hangover by now (if you drank all those drinks for us!)

Marci, how's your back?

BJ, if you can read this, we are all missing you terribly!

COME ON, EVERYONE ELSE----------CHECK IN PLEASE!

Good Morning,

Jen, so sorry to hear that Erica is sick again. I hope you can get to the bottom of things soon. In the meantime, ((((((HUGS))))) and I will be thinking of you and keeping you and yours in my prayers. Keep us posted.

DeeMarie, I think you are going to have to go and wake everyone up personally! I can't imagine why more of us aren't checking in.

I am still not at my goal but I am at a respectable number. At least I think it's respectable in spite of what management thinks! I have the possibility of selling something today but it's slim.

This week two members of our carriage driving club have had wrecks while driving thier horses. Everyone is okay, unbelievably but it's scary. Spring is definitely in the air. I plan on putting saddle miles on Sweet Pea before I hitch her to the cart. She just has too much winter blahs to get out of her system first.

I will check in later to see if DeeMarie has mustered any of you MIA's up! LOL

WAKE UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's Wednesday, rise and shine! The NYC Metro area has 5 days of rain ahead of us....real downer after Florida for me, but it gives a chance to get some paperwork completed around the house at night and this weekend!

Later...............

I am here I am here :::jumping up and down:::::

Jen: Give us and update on Erica when you can! We are worrying right along with you.

DeeMarie: So this morning..I had a banana and non fat yogurt. Am I ok with that stuff. I wish there was a WW nearby because I think I need to be accountable to someone in person. I don't understand why I don't have the willpower or self control. I wonder sometimes if it is because so many years the DEX would threaten me with all kinds of things if I gained weight. Now the SO is a different story...never a word about my weight which in reality isn't out of control...just heavier than when I met him. But I am now at the point where I don't like how I look...but yet I still cannot stay on task...nighttime is the worst time for me and right before dinner...any suggestions would be appreciated!

NHSuzanne: I know how hard it is to meet deadlines that involve $$$. I have been quoting things right and left and now I am calling everyone to see where they are at with my quotes.

So I am trying to check in more often....where the heck is everyone else??

Good morning!

I'm here, but buried under--but....I would rather be busy than not! :)

Jen--((((((((hugs!!!)))))))) Please let us know about Erica; she's in my pr@yers--

Dee--I eat like that too. I graze all day, and it seems to really be working. I'm eating more than ever, but I'm down 23 pounds since mid-January. Whoda thunk it?? I am watching carbs and fat, and practicing portion control, but I'm following the BOdy-for-Life plan, and I like it. My excerise leaves a lot to be desired, though.

Well, I got a cut and highlite last night, and i love it! I's not much different than what I normally have, but it's been updated, and it looks great. I met the stylist at my gym, and when I mentioned how I loved her hair, she told me she was a stylist, and we went from there! :) The stylist next to her is a riot! She had some friends in last night, and they were talking about going to Fantasy Fest in Key West in Oct. Heck! I wanna party with these ladies!! LOL!!! (the Fantasy Fest is an adult (XXX) themed blow-out, and is supposed to be something to behold!) So, I am getting my brows shaped tonight, and pop in the contacts tomorrow--I'll be stylin'!!! :)

Gotta go--

Hope all is well!

Hugs,

Maddie

PS--4/8/05 sounds good to me! Although, 4/23 kicks off Derby--:):)

[[[[[[[[[[[[ERICA & JEN]]]]]]]]]]]]] Please keep us updated on the little one, Jen. Wish I could give you both a great big squeezy hug in person.

Maddie, your hair sound great; we'll need to see an updated picture soon. CONGRATS on those 23 pounds---away forever!!! Yeah!!! Do the happy dance with me, because I just weighed-in and lost another 2 pounds--total is 15 pounds down since February 4. Doin' the happy dance, doin' the happy dance, doin' the happy dance............!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gretchen, you can join Weight Watchers on-line. I think it's about $13 per month, and you get calculators and all sorts of support. They have an official website that I read about in my Sunday paper. Let me know if you have trouble finding it, and I'll ask our leader here about it.

Gotta run...need more of you to check in!
Take care, eat healthy, and NEVER NEVER GIVE UP!!!!!!!
