Hi Everyone,

Wildsykz - First weigh in....very exciting!! Be sure and let us know how you go!

Feeling Frumpy - Are you allowed to have Vanilla Coke on your plan? I was only allowed to have caffiene free diet coke (although my plan is from last year). I don't mind the CCFD coke anyway that's all I have in the house. I like your suggestion of bringing one into the meeting though - except I can't!! Bringing a competitors product into the meeting would be really really frowned upon (I was worded up by the other girls!). I'm lucky my company does water and they usually have a few bottles of that on the table. Failing that I'll bring in my own drink bottle. Congratulations on joining up with the 10,000 steps program. I did it last year and loved it! It really does force you into making sure you hit the target everyday. I wear a pedometer all the time now.

Mermaid Sister & Brieziel - RE: people not saying you have lost weight...... don't forget that sometimes what people don't say is as good as what they do say. They may not have been saying anything to you...but you can bet they were thinking.."what is she doing?..she looks thinner". Another reason people don't comment is that they may not want to offend you......people who are carrying a little bit (or a lot) of extra weight can be offended if you point out they have lost a couple of kilos. It focuses on the fact you have noticed they were overweight.....something they were hoping you didn't really notice. If that makes any sense?
You are right though...come Christmas when you have lots heaps of weight they will be praising you! (or being insanly jealous in the corner and saying nothing!)

Less Fatty - I'm jealous! Hope you have a great time. My niece is off to Japan this week too as a 3 month exchange student. She went last year and just raves about the place.

I managed to skate past my boredom today without deviation. I hope it pays off tommorow.

Myshy
