Janet's weigh in for last week

[Guest guest]

Well, I weighed in with my first gain of the year last Saturday. I gained a half of a pound. We didn't weigh in on Valentine's day because two members (there are only 4 of us) called to say they weren't coming, so we decided to just do a weigh in on the following Monday, but it was only going to be two of us again...which was fine with me, BUT the other person changed her mind about weighing in because she said that she knew she'd have a gain, sooooo we didn't weigh in at all. Then, this past Saturday, only two of us weighed in...we both had a gain. I always gain after a "no meeting" week for some reason. Just goes to show that you've got to attend TOPS regularly in order to have success. I hope you all are having a good week.

Hand in hand, together we can.

Janet

278.75 starting wt / 238.75 current wt / 40.00 lbs lost / 73.75 to goal

Finish each day and be done with it.

Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well.

That's nothing Janet! You can lose that this Saturday! When do you head over to our group? I know it has to be coming up really soon! I'm still so excited! YAY! Anyhow, TURN IN THE SUB FORM!! Subbing is great, especially if everyone knows you already because of your kids! And I bet you would do great at that! Plus it would be fun! Oh, and don't you knock "only losing 6 pounds" for the year so far! At least it's not the other way around. You be proud of those 6 pounds!!

Plus, you're my new goal idea person! I promised myself I wouldn't get back up to the 240's now that I am out of them! I thought that was a great tactic!

>>>FLORESVILLE MARY WROTE>>>It is very important to attend meetings. Seems like everytime I miss I will show a gain also. Just something gets into our heads that we can eat a little more and slack up on exercising because we have 2 weeks. Well, it just doesn't work that way for most of us.

You're so very right, . It's all about accountability!!!

I'm not for sure when I'm coming over. We planned to disband after SRD, but our last meeting/weigh in is on March 20th. The reason for disbanding AFTER SRD was so that we could go as a chapter, BUT now I'm the only one going. I really don't want to transfer to your chapter before, because I think it will create confusion since my SRD packet will indicate my current chapter number. I'm not walking across the stage in the parade of leaders...don't much see the use since my chapter won't be there anyway. I'm still not sure if the other 3 members of my chapter will be transferring over as well. The only one that has said that she plans to is the one who will be having gastric bypass on Mar. 22nd. (Okay, I'm taking some deep calming cleansing breaths here) Last week she told me that her sister who has already had GB has lost over 40 lbs in the past 3 months, AND then tells me "it took you a year and a half to lose that much"! (more cleansing breaths...) Of course, I just smile and say, "Gee, you're right. I'm so excited for you and your sister." I've been soooo very supportive of her decision to have the surgery, just really don't want it thrown in my face.

Awwww, am I really your new goal idea person? I'm flattered. You know, I'm always up for some friendly competition, so we're really going to have to push each other. - When I transfer to your group, we'll be in the same division, won't we? You're already -8lbs for the year, to my -6, so prepare to be challenged! ;>)

I walked with your mommy and your cutie patooti nephew this evening. He was soooo good...just babbled happy gibberish the whole time.

Did you tape Survivor while you worked??

Hope you had a good day at work.
