update...

OK, my reunion is THIS WEEK girls. How much weight have you lost for me...did I mention that I was going to total ALL our losses and then use that for me??? Ok, I'm kidding, but I did step it up a bit and actually join the workout center at my hospital and I actually got up and worked out with the encouragement of my workout buddy, Cindy. SO, my bit total for the last 3 weeks is a whoppin 4.8 pounds. OK, I'm trying NOT to be disappointed, but I do plan to go weigh in on Wednesday before I leave just to see if I can tip the scale over to FIVE pounds loss....

Here's a good recipe this week from my WW leader, Tami.

Tami's Favorite Veggie Soup

  • 2 lbs frozen veggies (like California blend)
  • 3 cans Fat free chicken broth
  • 1 can diced tomatoes
  • 10 oz. Velveeta lite

place all ingredients in a pot - bring to a boil. Reduce heat, simmer til done.

1 cup = 1 point
Serves 10

How simple is that? Tami likes to eat a cup while preparing dinner so she doesn't overeat or stack through the meal fixing (a problem I also have). I usually eat a small bag of microwave popcorn while fixing dinner...also 1 point.

OK girls, start tallying up your weight loss. TOO bad my friend AMY didn't join us on this plan....she has lost 18 pounds since she came here for a visit back in the early summer. YOU GO GIRL!!! I'm so proud to be your friend and sister.

Keep on Keepin ON~
(even after this reunion!!)

Yikes! Are we really going to drag this out...um...I mean take it on for another month? OK then. I will give it the old college try! Lisa~

Paper Potter said...

Let's not start again till Monday, when Lisa comes home from her reunion and tells us she was the spiffiest person there hands down. But I think we need to give "anonymous" her magazine anyway, don't you all?

The Pennington Point said...

Oh I totally think anonymous should get her magazine!

Well? How was the reunion? Don't leave us hangin'.

I am on it this week girls....I am hitting it hard! Lisa~

Anonymous said...

I totally agree...Anonymous should get the mags..LOL.
Well, at least we are all on the same playing field again, and I am not 7 laps ahead of the pack..LOL
What shall we lose for this month? what goal? We should each encourage 1 other person to join in. The more the merrier..
Funny wanting to be the BIGGEST loser...Like Jumbo shrimp..should be the littlest loser. LOL...
