Happy Monday to all of you...

I want to start a scale challenge...this is for all of you (including myself ) that get on that scale more then once a week...

Today I have made the challenge to myself to only get on it every Monday morning..

As of this morning my weight is 229

This is a great way to not obsess with what the scale reads through out the week if I have some challengers to do it with me

Next weigh in Monday 7/27

Any takers??

well, i think the holiday habits will be broken... once all the cookies and left overs are out of the house... it makes it much easier..... christmas day i always make so much extra.... ( the italian in me).... but i bought disposable trays, and separated to little gift take home packs.... i remember my weight watcher instructor, better in the garbage than on your hips.... so i try to get rid of the extra in the house, cause it does go down real easy....

greg, glad you didn't go up the dress size... and kudos to you for almost getting to your 255 by december 25... i think that's how it went... your loss has been impressive to me.. i'll tell ya....

Sorry Greg... I think Lisa is gets the job... I need a severe butt KICKING!

I took my dear daughter to the doc last week and caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror... there was no denying that my face was back to being puffy... yikes... scared the lima beans right out of me!

All the candy is gone... snack type foods... gone... enough quilting material to keep my hands busy... now... I just need to add exercise to the mix. Maybe I need to join curves... OR... maybe I just need to use the equiptment that is right here at home??? Hmmm... it's a thought.

As long as we don't get dancing M&M's I'll be okay.

LOL M&M's... I sued to eat them upside done and say the W&W stood for Weight Watchers...The games I used to play.

I'm up 3 solid pounds, and tomorrow I have to write it under my signature. Tomorrow is my official monthy weigh-in. I will have to move out of Denialville in the morning. BUT... today I look so cute cuz I've been saving this beautiful blouse I bought at Nordstrom about 20 years ago. I'm wearing it today for the first time in 2 decades with brand new Avenue size 20s. I gotta give myself credit for that, but last night I ate and ate and ate again. Today I'm trying to stick to Paula's "no junk food" today challenge and doing double water. I never thought I'd say this, but I want to be a big fat loser!

delarla.... i just noticed under your signature, it says port removal...what happened, did they remove it, and cap it, or replace it, or what???? just wondering.... thanks

Ro, my port incision became infected right after the initial surgery. So I had a 2nd operation to remove the port. I still have the tube, so I assume they capped it off? I'll need a 3rd operation to put a new port in, but only after the incision heals. It's been open ALL MY LIFE but is finally trying to heal. There's a post showing gross pics of my port problems (so we don't have to hijack this thead.) Thanks for asking!

I'm right there witcha Lisa...

Today... it's been back to basics... I started out with a low carb carnation breakfast... had chicken salad for lunch and made an effort to slow down. I also haven't been sticking to the "no drinking" rule during and after eating... I'm back to following that rule. I've been ignoring my band... ignoring the rules and voila... packing on the pounds! Sooooo... I had a little talk with myself and made a promise just to adhere to the very basic of banding rules. I hafta say... I've been pretty disgusted with myself and wallowing in my own self-pity and doing so has been pretty non-productive. I'm tired of being the hostess of my own private pity party... I'd rather be a dancing banana.

You'd be a very cute dancing banana with a little ruffly skirt and bikini top. Good morning from Cali!

Oh dear... the bikini top just won't do... this banana is pretty thick in the middle... besides... it's pretty hard to find coconut halves this time of year. Good afternoon from Wisconsin!

I can send you some banana leaves and you can just make a muu-muu. Howdy from Texas!

A muu-muu with a ruffly skirt. Okay? With snow in your hair.

Becky could crochet or knit Darcy a cute little top!

Use the large needles Becky LOL

she could probably crochet some coconut halves on it too!

Becky is talented enough to do that! LOL
