1/2 cup, Fenris. Although don’t forget, it’s really sweet compared to regular Vanilla Bean, so you may not want much of it.

Hi I want to start WW again. Started last year before Thanksgiving (bad idea) but it worked for me while I did it faithfully.

When I start up again- can I just pay weekly? Does anyone know?

Yes, you can. They’ve got two plans–one where you say that you’ll be there every week no matter what and pay a lesser amount ($9.95 in my area) and one where you pay more but don’t have any committment to show up–($13.95 in my area).

**Nvme77** , check out the ww website - if you click on the part to find a meeting, you can often get local pricing information that’s specific to your area.

This has been buried on the back pages for long enough. Anyone have anything to share with the group? Afterward, we’ll have juice.

Well, I didn’t get weighed this week as I was deathly ill on my meeting day. Monday will be my first WI in two weeks. I will have a story then, I’m sure.

Oh a positive note, my sister just started WW two weeks ago and has lost five pounds. 🙂

Now where is the juice?

Weigh in was lastnight. I lost 1.4lbs this week. That’s much better after last weeks .6 gain. So that’s a total of 7.4lbs lost in 4 weeks on WW. Woohoo!

What sort of juice are we talking about? I don’t like orange juice and I’m not a fan of apple juice. Grape juice is okay I guess.

How about lemonade? Can we have lemonade?

Blah… gained 1 lb today. I tried eating all of my flex points this week. I think next week I’ll stick to my points range, up my exercise and go for a big loss to cheer me up.

My average is still about 2 lbs a week, so at least there’s that. Can I still have juice?

[sub]The good news is I think I’m going to beat my Halloween goal by at least 2 or 3 pounds. Woo![/sub]

Sure, you can still have juice. Do you have the points for the vodka?

Down another two this week. Makes my total 38 pounds! WOO HOO! I’m still dying to break away from the 200 pound mark. 4.5 pounds to go for that one! Then its another point range.

My body is messing with me. I’m up 2 lbs from last Friday’s weigh-in. To be honest, I have no clue when my period is due so it could be that. I so very much wanted to be at 50 lbs down, but this puts me back at 46.5. We’ll see on Friday.
