We're Winning Together - WW and Friends of WW :-) 10/14-10/20 (formerly known as Winning with WW)

I like the name of the new thread, Beth!

Terri - that is HUGE to be able to maintain after having a week with a big loss.  Good job, Melissa, as well.  I hope that tomorrow is a big success.

And, Terri, is the tat for you or your DH?  About 10 years ago I got a tat on my solar plexus, of my "goddess".  I am looking forward to reaching my goal BMI, and occasionally wear something to show her off...  I had decided that if I was going to get a tattoo, it would be somewhere that *I* could enjoy, and also somewhere that would not be on display... unless, of course, I want it to be on display - LOL.  Never thought I would get one, but this one just mesmerized me.  Thought about it constantly for a week, so I went back to endure the pain.

Traveling is going well in Milwaukee.  I used the fitness center and pool today (two separate trips) and they are going to work just fine for the trip.

Enjoy the rest of your Sunday!

Sorry to be MIA.  Went to a family reunion in the Poconos over the weekend and didn't even think about looking at a computer.  It was beautiful there -- nice crisp autumn air and the leaves are beautiful.  We had over 100 relatives (I married into a huge Irish/Catholic family).  Good food and way too much drinking, but it was such a great time.  I did get a 3 mile run in Saturday morning before all the damage was done.  Back on plan today!     

I missed my WI at my meeting on Friday since we were travelling but I'm up a few on my home scale since returning home.  Swapping water for whiskey and beer is not a good thing, so I'll be taking this week to get back down to where I was before we left.  Drinking water like crazy this morning! 

I use my Nike+ all the time and I love it! 

I can't wear Nike shoes (the arch is never in the right place), so I always wear Asics.  I found a sensor holder that velcros onto your laces on Amazon -- I just did a search and found the exact one I purchased a year ago for $4.44 -- http://www.amazon.com/Sport-Sensor-Nike-iPod-Kit/dp/B000ID6DTG/ref=pd_bbs_2/104-1664418-7458347?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1192462459&sr=8-2

The Nike+ system itself is only $29, as long as you already have the ipod nano.  It works great!  It's very motivating to see how far you've gone, how fast, how many calories you've spent, etc.  You can set your workout for a certain mile distance, time distance, or other goal and it will give you verbal feedback on how much of your goal you've met during the workout (Lance Armstrong's voice was cool).  It also keeps your workout history for a long time, and when I dock my ipod, you can upload all the workout data to the www.nikeplus.com website.  Any other questions?  Just ask! 

Good Morning everyone! 

Quite a chatty start to the week!  I love it!  Thanks for the info on the Nike +, sounds like something I need to check out.

I'm in San Francisco, catching up on some work before I hit the fitness center.  It's really quite chilly here today.

I'm kind of bummed this morning, my daughter's car was broken into on Saturday night.  They broke out the passenger window, somehow managed to break the door as well trying to steal a stereo.

What is this world coming to?

I'm a WW rollercoaster rider of late.  BUT this past week was excellent.  I am down just over 3 pounds!  Yipeeee!

This week is not shaping up too good. B-day!  Yikes.  Keep me on task all.

Great work here BT'ers!  Keep count'n points. 

Hi there,

Just a quick post to say hello.  I got a workout in yesterday, which was good.  Dinner last night was not a complete disaster, but close.

I am cracking up about all of the ink talk, yes I too have a tat - it's a custom sun, really cool.

Emily - so sorry to hear about your losses.  that is always difficult.

Melissa - woo hoo - she's swimming!  love it

Have a great day everyone!
