Hello Everyone,

I am back on and getting on TRACK!! I have sort of taken a break LOL
I am wishing everyone a Happy New Year!!!! May you be blessed this coming year and find more time to put God in everything you Do!

That's all for now....I will add what I am thankful for : )

***Most of all My Lord and Savior : Jesus Christ!!***

1. I am thankful for my family (my hubby of 20 years, my daughter and my son)

2. My church family and friends -- I love you!!

3. My job (Even if my feet hurt all the time )

4. My wonderful neighbors (The Buzhardt's and the Brooks')

5. And the many blessings that God has given me throughout the years!!!

Just wanted to tell everyone Happy Thanksgiving!!!! I know these holidays will be hard for some of who are trying to eat right and not overeat!!!! So HARD!!LOL ---- HOWEVER, with God's Help we can do it!!!! I was unable to go to Weight Watchers this week and last week, but will continue next week. Hopefully I will either lose or stay the same!!!!! : D

Again HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!

I AM SO THANKFUL FOR HAVING FAMILY & FRIENDS SUCH AS YOU!!!

Weighed on my scales today and I am down the pound I gained plus one! Yay.....such a relief.

Just thought I would share!! :D

I wanted to share my thankfulness .........

I am so thankful for:

1. God- he shows me the way and if I stray he leads me back : )

2. My Hubby- he is just so loveable- can't believe we've been married over 20 years!

3. My Kids- My Rotten Kids......I always wonder how they got that way LOL

4. My Church Friends (They are part of my Family) ......always there when I need them

5. My blogging friends......Thanks to you for all the support you give!!!!

Keep Going, Even if you Mess up!!

As you may know already..........I am not a good blogger! I either don't take the time or just forget altogether! Really there should be NO EXCUSES! I was so afraid to go to Weight Watchers today.........Okay.........It wasn't bad as I thought.....I haven't been to a meeting in 2 weeks.....I didn't lose any pounds....I gained 1.6 pounds (brownies, Lasagna, candy that I bought after Halloween{what was I thinking?}, and so forth).....But that will be gone this week.....I can't believe I let myself go :(

*** I am still in a size 14 *** Yay!!!

I will survive. With God's Help and the Help from all My Friends I will be healthy, happy, & SKINNY LOL :D

Better Planning & Better Self Control---- Even through the HOLIDAYS!!!!

By the way, the reasons I didn't lose & I gained:

1. didn't write anything down

2. ate candy like it was nothing :(

3. ate more than 1 brownie.....not bright at all

4. didn't drink my water!! This is a MUST!!! :0

5. thought I could do it all by myself.....not true!

6. didn't go to the meetings

I am making a promise to myself......that I will keep on track!! Pray that I will do this!! I am praying & have the will power, but I need all the extra prayers I can get. I am so proud of everyone who is doing "First Place" ......You guys are doing wonderful! :D
Keep up the good work.....even if you didn't lose, or even if you gained for that matter.....you must go on! You can do it!! We are not failures, we all learn by our mistakes!!!

Love ya,
Janet

I can do anything through Christ who strengthens ME!!


I am thankful for:

1. Making mistakes......so I know I am not the perfect one! :)

2. being a child of the king!! I am "Royalty" LOL

3. my family & friends with their support (they are not going to judge me for my mistakes)

Okay.....I went to weight watchers this morning. I did lose 1.2 pounds from last weigh-in. I am now at 205. I don't know what to think about my scales!! I guess I shouldn't weigh on them everyday. So....starting from today......I will only weigh on them the day of or the day before. This way I want be all upset that I only lost a pound. Don't get me wrong ..... a pound a week is still worth it! It is better than not losing at all!! LOL

I just got my hope all set for the 203.4*

From now on I will just give you what I weighed in at the Weight Watchers Meetings!

I am going to try so much harder this week. I did not drink my water last week as I should have.....that may be my problem. Well I will let you know tomorrow what I ate and the points. I think I am going to go down from 29 points to 28. Sounds good to me!

Good luck to all who are watching my blog. Please sign up as a follower if you are visiting it .

Janet

Wow.....I didn't write yesterday.....I guess maybe I will be a random blogger - LOL

Anyway, had a good day yesterday! My legs are swollen from who knows?? They are red again, just like when the doctor said I had Cellulitis ( infection in the legs). I think Maybe it is just bad circulation. I am going to have to find me another doctor. Does anyone know of one??

Well weigh in is tomorrow.....and the scales don't lie. I will most definitely let you know the results.

Starting next week .......I think I will start putting what I do and eat for the day!

Until then.....

Sorry I didn't blog yesterday! (for those who are keeping up with my weight loss)

I really don't have any new News to discuss. I had an okay day yesterday and today has been so so. Weight Watchers has really been easy so far. I am told that it gets harder. (We'll See)

I did find out however that Taco Bell has a Fresco Menu. I like the 2 soft tacos with Grilled Steak. You have to order it from the Fresco Menu or it means more calories and fat! LOL

It is worth 3pts for one and 7 pts for two of them. They taste great. I have also found that the WW fudge bars are 1 pt. each, but if you eat 2 servings at once, it equals 4 pts. So, I guess I better stick to one - LOL

Oh Well, until tomorrow.

Keep up the good work ...... to the ones who are trying like me!

TO GOD BE THE GLORY!!

I am so excited!!! I woke up this morning and weighed in @ 203.4 lbs.

Not official, until I weigh in on Sunday October 5. But anyways, I am so excited!!

Well I am on my way to "The Cheesecakery" for Bible Study!!

Talk tomorrow,
Janet

my 1st blog

Hey to all my blogging Friends,

I started Weight watchers on September 7, and was really excited about losing weight. I previously weighed 223 lbs. the beginning of January! I didn't think I was at all that I weighed that much. **But the scales don't lie**LOL

When I started Weight Watchers I had already lost down to 215 lbs. I lost 3.4 lbs when I weighed in on September 14. I was so ecstatic about it. Then when I weighed in on September 21st, I lost 4.6 lbs. Wow I had lost 8 lbs. Well it was weigh in time again this past Sunday September 28 I lost .8lbs. I know that doesn't sound like much, but it is better than staying the same. I weigh 206.2 at this time and have lost a total of 8.8 lbs. from starting weight watchers and have lost a total of 16.8 lbs this year!

Please keep me in your prayers!! I am really excited and plan on losing at least 66 more lbs!! That will put me at 140 lbs. I really want to feel good about myself and to be healthy in the process. If anyone else wants a weightloss buddy, just give me a holler. It is always good to have someone to talk too!!
