Thanks Soror Ideal!!!! I will try to get the fotki album open by the end of the month. I am working hard!! I am going to check and see if there is a TOPS in my area. Sounds like fun!

BB91 - You have a newfound self-confidence. You're seeing something you've never seen, or never seen as an adult. It's mesmerizing; how can you NOT look at it more often? And you're excited, too?! Your hubby knows good and well he likes the new stouchy you! LOL

toocute - Are you SERIOUS? They have chapters in Canada and not in NNJ/NYC?! Now that's wild. Well, maybe you could start one? I bet you could!!! I'ma look, lol.

Soror RD - I need to send you a PM; check shortly.

EVERYBODY - Who does WW Online? What do you like about it? Is it worth the money you pay? How much do you pay? Are there tools you could create for yourself for free? A sista is trying to save as much money as she can, but she's willing to invest in getting healthy. I used my last page in my Quick Trak Food Journal yesterday and am trying to decide whether or not I want to buy another one, use a notebook, create a spreadsheet, or join WWO. What y'all think? :confused:

Have NOT!!! Look what the site says:

"It is easy to start your own chapter too. Only four people are needed. Just ask TOPS Field Staff how to start a chapter in your area."

See.:p I'll ask our leader on Monday. :)

I have been up for nearly 24 hours with only an hour long nap. I had to type a final paper for one of my classes. And while I usually work with the TV off, I put it on this time and guess what came on? Yep, the Turbo Jam informercial. Now, I have been on GC long enough for y'all to know that I am addicted to informercials. I have been watching this infomercial for a while and have been reading threads on 3FC and NP about the set. So what did I do?

You guessed it! RD ordered Turbo Jam.... Hopefully I will get the great results that everyone is raving about. I am a sucker for Beachbody DVDs. I am also entertaining the thought of purchasing the Windsor Pilates DVD with the ring. However, they put you on that automatic shipment thing, where they bill you every month or so and send you DVDs until you call and cancel. Aside from the fact that I never remember to cancel, the line is ALWAYS busy or something like that to prevent you from getting through. I think that I am going to buy a ring and figure out a way to fit it in with the Windsor Pilates DVDs that I already have.

Sigh..... save me from my workout video addiction. LOL! Seriously, this is the LAST set of DVDs that I will be buying because I WILL lose the weight this time. Wait until December. I'm gonna be a sexy beast! LOL! :p

That is HILARIOUS!!! LMAO!!! I'm registered at 3FC, too, but I never post, lol. I liked the book, though.

I brought my TOPS brochure to work with me so toocute can get her chapter started.;) :p It says, If you'd like to know about other chapters or how to start one, call toll-free at 1-800-932-8677. Good luck!!

*snickering*

TOPS is here too!
 
I checked out the website and they have a plethora of chapters in the St.Paul/Minneapolis area. I'm very interested and may check out a meeting next week.

His explanation is that I walk differently, look at myself in the mirror, etc.


Hi BabyBlue,
You're referring to stoosh and it does mean to be conceited...
But you've earned it - so strut your stuff - girl!

RedefinedDiva 07-24-2006 12:16 AM

I start my swimming lessons tomorrow morning! I'm excited and nervous. I am ready to learn because I want to swim for fitness, but I am TERRIFIED of deep water. Hopefully I can overcome my fear. That's the plan!
