 Those little green pillows, I wouldn't hate it. Oh my gosh. Maybe I should have, oh I have too much light on me. We need to close that curtain. Hello, don't anybody leave, I gotta close this curtain. It's too bright in here. Oh, there's five of you guys here, hi. It's so shiny on my face. Hi Susan, I'm so glad you're here. All the lighting is wrong in here. You guys say hi to my friend Susan. Susan 16K, she's my Disneyland pal. Hi Tracy, hi Teresa, hi Steph. Hi Kelsey, guess who just decided to, hi Roberta, hi you guys. This is like, I was literally in my room. Look at the sticker I got. Hi Angie, I'm too low or too high or something. Hi Sherry, hi you guys. I'm sorry for this, hi Cheryl. My honey's getting me a pillow, hang on. Oh, it's okay babe, it's okay. I was just literally having thoughts on stuff and I was like, okay I can make a video and post it or you can get on here and talk about it now. But I didn't think I was gonna look so quite so horrid. Before we start chatting about anything, hi Andrea, hi it's good to see you too. Grab your water kids. Thank you babe. It's so shiny, can you do one more thing before you lay down? We just looked at that one all the way to the top. See what happens when I don't plan. He just got here, all he wants to do is go rest. Okay, I have you guys sitting on my grandpa's old camera case, is this okay? Is this gonna do, come in and say hi, you did. He just walked in, we're gonna let him go relax. I don't know where my glasses are. I look okay Sherry, everybody's got their water? I swear this was totally last minute, I'm gonna cover up my hands so if I raise them nobody has to see the atrocity. So I have this, I have had all my water today. Calm down Anita, it's okay. Oh good Steph's got her water. I've had my water today but I'm gonna go for more because I have used all my smart points, hi Laurie. And so I'm just gonna drink and fill myself up with water. But I wanted to get on here and talk about scanning. I know your patient group Andrea. Hi Cindy, I haven't seen you in so long, how are you? It's so good to see you. I was thinking about you and Cindy Pope and Esther. I keep thinking about Esther. I've seen her post on a couple of people's videos and I keep trying to catch her and I can't catch her and I hope she's okay. If anybody sees Esther, there's only one Esther who follows us from place to place. You guys let her know I'm looking for her, would you? Cindy's doing purple, everybody pop in here except for Susan and tell me what program you are doing. If you're new here and you just like found me, my name's Anita, I'm a weight watcher. I'm going on my third year in February. I lost 50 pounds, freestyle came along. I gained a couple pounds because I did not like freestyle. Teresa's doing blue, Sherry's doing green. I'm doing green and I'm on way back down and I'm totally pleased with my progress. Laurie's purple. So you guys look at the comments below so you can see who's doing what program with you. Roberta's green, I know Roberta's green. Angie's green, Steph is purple. And are you guys all pleased with your programs? Because I am pleased. I am so glad that they cut us all at break. I like the green emojis. Kelsey, I like that name. I have a daughter and I'm Chelsea. Kelsey, that's pretty. All right, is this okay? If anybody wants to give me a thumbs up, feel free to do so, but you don't have to. Teresa's doing okay. Hi Carol, just okay? Just okay Teresa? Anything I can help anybody with? The reason I popped on is because we need to talk about scanning and we need to talk how things change in the database. And it's so important. Laura, not on it, but thinking of it. Laura, if you're new to my channel, welcome, maybe you might have been watching and you just haven't joined yet. If you decide to join in my description box, not in this video, because we're live right now, I have a link. And if you wanna go in and check it out, if you wanna join for one month with my link, you can do it for free. So let me know, remind me and I'm happy to get the link for you. And welcome, welcome. We all love WW here, we're all doing well. It's kind of, I'm just gonna talk to Laura for a second, you guys, just so we can draw her in. Because we have a lot of fun. Hi darling, darling's doing green too? Good Teresa, good. Okay, so Laura, one of the things here at the chat, paddy whack party, is we focus a lot on water. Any weight loss program you choose to do, even if you choose to do something other than weight loss, because you have to drink the water. So I'm always pushing water around these parts. But whoops, turn around, Nita. We also keep it as simple and stress-free as we can at the chit chat paddy whack party. A lot of people find that they overthink things and there's so many foods and so many points. And then their heads explode and then they throw in the towel. That's why I like to keep it simple here. Tracy's on purple, someone's coming in my front door. I hope it's my son-in-law or else we're gonna have troubles. Is it you, Casey? Oh, yo, you went out, oh, that's my husband. He took the dog out. Carol's green. So I'm sorry, honey. I'm trying to talk to these fine ladies and keep track at the same time. So if anybody has any questions, Lori, I'm trying to think, if you pop on to go back and forth to what, Roberta? Uh-oh, back and forth. Hi, Cheryl. Cheryl's purple, purple, any purple emoji rocks, right? So remind me, you guys, at the end, when I'm saying 10 hundred times that I'm gonna hang up to put in the description box below all my info so that if Lori wants to go back and check it out, she has the information that she needs. Teresa's a 32-inch spotter. I try to drink four of those in a day. Rock on, sister, that's the way you do it. You know, I have to tell you guys a secret. It's an itty-bitty secret. You need to keep it to yourselves, just here. You're welcome, Laura. And I'm sorry, I said, Lori, I sincerely, that is what I'm here for on YouTube. I'm here to talk about WW, to help with WW. I'm not here to make buckaroonies. I'm not here to sell you anything. I'm happy to help in any way I can. I think these other swells that are conversing with us will attest to that. But I found out something kind of interesting. So you guys saw that Star sent me that big, huge, beautiful pink water bottle that I love. And right before she sent me that one, I purchased this one and then I sent away to eBay or somewhere. Thank you, Sherry. To give you a thumbs up and get back to the live. Oh, is it not like right here? Then don't worry about it, you guys. I'd rather have you here. Don't even worry about it. So I was finding that when I was using my bigger containers, as Maria would say, I wasn't getting all my water. I'm not sure why. I haven't put that much thought into it, but I just know I wasn't getting all my water. So what I started to do is I filled up the big container that Star gave me and I sit in on my counter and then I take my littlest cup with the handle that says I talk to strangers. And then throughout the day, I just keep filling that up till I know I have 64 ounces. And this one I just keep here when I'm with you guys because it's so very pretty. This is my prettiest one. Kelsey, I don't really, my goal is, gosh, what is my goal? Honey, are you in here? No, he could tell you, okay, so here's another little secret that I don't want you telling your friends. When it comes to measurements, I stink to high heaven. There was a very large part of junior high that I just didn't feel like going to school. I had places to go, I had people to meet, I had parties to go to, you know what I'm saying? So that one week that they covered measurements of any kind, like I could tell you, I could drink a football field of water and actually mean it because I don't know how big a football field is and I had to stink at measurements. Ask me how tall I am, seven, four, exactly. But let's just say, hi, Lori. I tried, so I know from my receptacles I try to get at least 80, but I often get more than that because I don't drink anything but water. I only drink water, I do not drink diet soda, regular soda, flavored water, fizzy water, hi, Charlene, or anything else. So I just keep drinking my water. I know it's hard for a lot of people to say, hi, Patty. Okay, I won't go anywhere, I'm not gonna go anywhere anyways. You're welcome. It's just something my husband and I joke about because he'll be like, we'll be hanging up a picture or something. Yeah, it's five inches, it needs to go five inches to the right. It's like, okay, why don't you just tell me five feet? I don't know, five inches from two gallons. I thought you had morning coffee. Oh yeah, Lori, I have morning coffee, but I'm talking about throughout the day. I don't drink anything other than water. Does coffee count? That's a technicality. See, that's awesome, Teresa. And it's only helpful with your weight loss, correct? Am I correct, Amundo? It's super-duper important. Too bad I didn't light the fire first. Maybe someday I'll plan something. But you know what, just sperm of the moment, I mean, sperm of the moment is more exciting. Cindy says, I use a small piece of masking tape. I don't have my glasses, Cindy. Masking tape on my water bottle and uses Sharpie to mark how many times I feel it throughout the day. I average 10 or down to the water, but I also drink coffee and green tea. Cindy, you think coffee should count? Well, when I say water's the only thing I drink, I mean, I don't drink soda. I don't drink diet soda. I don't drink tea. That's what I meant. Coffee's a food group? All right, let me restate that. I don't only drink water. I have coffee in the morning too, okay? Yeah. Oh my God, you guys are getting too technical on me. Coffee kind of doesn't count because it counts as water. Coffee and tea count as water. Is that what you guys are meaning that it counts? And I'm totally reading you backwards. I'm sorry. Cindy. Let me just take a drink here and shut up for a second. So Marilyn Schaefer, who is one of us, 2.2, did I know that? I don't think so. Congratulations, Theresa. Right, Lori. Okay, I got you guys now. I thought you guys were saying, nevermind. See what happens when I overthink things. This is why I K-I-S-S. Keep it simple. Keep it simple, Shweebert, because when I start overthinking things, just go haywire. All right, I wanna talk about, oh, congrats. We gotta go back to Theresa on her loss. Everybody give Theresa, yay, 2.2. Every time somebody posts their loss, or if somebody has a game, we have to take a drink. It's a drinking game. Okay, Cindy, okay, this is getting way too technical. I don't either, but the swells here would like me to. So I'm just gonna agree with everybody. Theresa, that's fantastic. I'm hoping for Friday, I'm hoping that I could keep my momentum going because I've had a great last couple of weeks. Oh my gosh, there's so many of us here. Hi, you guys, I'm so happy. Hi, Michelle, where have you been hiding under what rock lady I haven't seen you around lately? But in all fairness, I haven't been around lately. I'm gonna touch on it. For uno momento, uno momento, that's all. But we're having a flare up here in the Chichepadduak party. Hi, Deborah, finally drinking game. Finally drinking game, I can participate in and still be able to carry on a conversation. Okay, Michelle, good, as long as everything's okay. Cat's here, cat, you're never here when I'm live. Two, oh my gosh, okay, Cat had a 2.4 loss. Okay, since she's my good friend and I love her so much, we're gonna take two drinks. Cat, I'm so happy, oops, I put the ugly hands up there. So yeah, Michelle, I am having a flare up, but I'm not gonna let it get me down and I'm not gonna try not to talk about it because you hear me out to all the Patty Whackers for being here at the original 35 of you guys when I had that nice, clear couple of months and I was feeling better and nothing was hurting and we all saw that I got my vim, vim, vroom or whatever you wanna call it back. I had a lot of comments saying, you know, I'm watching you need it, so good to see you feeling better and I could clearly see that nobody wants to watch me when I'm not feeling good and I don't blame them. But at the same time, when I wasn't feeling good, I was super lonely, nobody wants to hold my hand. Nobody wants to be rubbing her back, but family members are like, I got something to do, could you go away? So I'm still gonna make my videos, but I just won't relish in the moment of the crap-tastic that is. Point eight for Michelle, yay! Reese, yes, this is still live and welcome. Oh, good job, Michelle. Okay, I'm just trying to read. If I miss anything you guys let me know because I love more spectacles on the bed. I'm so glad you're here, Cat. I thought you would be with the boys and Oliver's in his room kinda sorta maybe playing his game because kinda sorta Nana wanted to get on here and see her friends and talk about scanning 16 minutes. Okay, let me talk about it for a minute. For anybody who missed it on my Instagram today or in my video, vanilla Clio bars are six smart points. They are not five. Marilyn Schaefer finally found them and scanned them when she got them home and she tipped, tipped, tipped, tipped me a message and said, Anita, these are six smart points. Sure enough, I got one out, I scanned it, I ran it through the calculator, nothing has changed as far as the nutrition panel. We have, Clio even has no clue as to why they went up a whole smart point, but that's a lot and it's a bummer because you guys know how I love my Clio bars. In case anybody who's new here, like Laura Clio bar is a Greek yogurt bar in the yogurt section covered with chocolate and they're about yay big. I would get up and grab one, but and I love them and I have been touting them and singing their praises because five points, I can, I'll take the five points because there's tons of probiotics in it. It is yogurt, it's not a franken food because I like to say no offense to people who like franken foods. I am not the food police, it will never be the food police, but I am honest and when I find a product that I like and there are reasons that I like it, I am gonna say why I like that, it's not a franken food. Now somebody said franken food, Anita, what are you talking about? What's a franken food? Frankenstein, Frankenstein was kind of put together with all these different parts, franken foods are like when you're looking at the label and you can read a couple of the words but you can't read maybe 10 of the words because you don't know what they are. Cleo Bar, you can read everything on there. So I know Roberta's so disappointed, so disappointed. So with the Cleo Bar, I took the full five points because they taste like cheesecake with a little tang from the Greek yogurt and they're good for you. So now there's six points. So I typed out on Instagram, excuse me, I'm having a break here, a problem breakdown and I tagged, do you think so Sherry? I think it is too, but I would have to be really careful on my day. Hi Jennifer, how are you, how's the baby? In the ice cream area, how weird is that? I think somebody got it wrong. So anyways, I tagged Cleo in Instagram and they don't have any idea either. They're like, are you kidding? I'm like, no, I wish I was. So we don't know what happened between yesterday and today. Marilyn, if you see this later, you watch the replay. Thank you for bringing it to my attention so I could bring it, good Jennifer, so that I could bring it to everybody else's attention. But I had also had a list about a video that I was gonna do about scanning, about WW and WW math. And even for people like Michelle and Cat and myself, people who have been here 20 years, people who have been here 20 days, it bears repeating that sometimes things change like the Cleo bar did and sometimes things, oh, okay, Cat, are you still here? Let's see, where are you? Cat, darling, let me know if you're gonna leave because as of right now, I made you mod, okay? Okay, so when you leave, let me know. So if I have to pull somebody else in, I can. Hello, zero, zero, zero. Okay, so let me go back so I could talk. I'm gonna let Cat watch the comments and then I will come back and read my promise. If something changes nutritiously on the nutrition panel and somebody doesn't scan it and change it, it's not gonna change, things change often. So even if you have been doing WW weight watchers, what, what, any of those things for a gazillion years, try to stay in the habit of scanning things at least on a semi-regular, you know what I'm trying to say, regular, because they change all the time. Also, weight watcher math. Laura, if you're still here, I'm gonna tell you, weight watcher math is a funky thing. It can go up, it can go down. Now let's say that you are eating this cookie and it is two smart points. And then you think, okay, well this cookie is two smart points, I'm gonna eat three of them and that's gonna be six smart points. Don't anybody ever assume with the WW math because it can go either way. You can have two cookies and if you scan the cookie and put in two, it could very well be only three smart points because things change with the WW math and scanning when you have multiples of anything. It's never just that easy as one cookie, two points, two cookies, four points, three cookies, six points. Always adjust it, always go into your little brrrrrrrr, wheel of WW because it can work for you. But then if it goes above, you wanna make sure you count the points so that when you get on the scale on your weigh-in day and if you're up, you're like, why am I up? I've been eating those, I didn't do this, but I love my egg white and spinach frittatas. I eat them almost every morning for breakfast. Hi, you can come and say hi. Oh, you don't have to say hi. OK. Exactly, Michelle. It can go, and that's what my frittatas are. One frittata is two smart points. Two frittatas is three smart points. You're live. Three frittatas are five smart points. So say hello. Hi. This is Oliver for anybody who's new here. This is my grandson. He hangs with me on a regular basis. Charlie calls it the wheel of fortune when it just amounts. Exactly. That's why I give you the little brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. We come with my frozen to everybody or just to Lori. Thank you for popping in, Kelsey. I don't know if I caught you or not. And thank you for your kind words. Hi, Suze. OK, Suze, no talking from you, Chica. What's the problem? Oh, I wasn't even looking. OK, let's go back. So, OK, let me, I'm going to come back and read. guys in a second here. I'm gonna read you. I'm gonna read their minds Oliver. I'm reading Cat's mind. Cat is thinking right now. There's Oliver. I think Oliver should come to Las Vegas and play with my boys right now. That's what Cat's thinking. Watch. Cat is gonna come in here and say that I read her mind exactly right. Watch. So Reeves uh oh we're buffering. Okay hold on. I don't know if we're froze or buffering. I know Jennifer. I know. Okay you guys shoot. Still frozen. See Cat says yes Oliver come to Vegas. See? I told you I could read her mind. And now she's thinking oh my gosh the fun that the all of us would have if Nana and Oliver. Okay Charlene says not frozen. I don't know what to do guys. You want to come in here just for a minute while we figure out if we're frozen and buffering or not. It might just be on your camera's over here. Not frozen for share. Yeah because everybody's saying it's not frozen so it just might be your internet. Here's this funky eyebrow. So if anybody has any questions about if you're not understanding oh my gosh Cat every day I think about it. There's Esther Ross Newman. Okay see Esther right here. She lives in England and she was just here in the States and went and visited Sandy. And they got to have lunch together. Hi Esther so nice to see you. Okay so it seems like we're rolling again. So you guys just take that word of caution just like even if you have your regular things like every now and then I'll scan my Olay wrap just to make sure. Hi. Everything's on par. Hi Lori. Oh wait I think okay I'm sorry. All right so I just wanted to put that out there because it's it's important. It's important to all of us that we know what we're getting. So let me go oh Oliver gates do Nana favor. We run in my bedroom and get my glasses for me. Hopefully grandpa's not laying on them. Come on leapsons. Don't be like that. I want to go back and read if anybody has a question or anything. I know I shouldn't be this close. You guys are going to have nightmares tonight. All right so I answered Reese. I'm so glad you guys are here. I'm so glad I popped on. Sweet Jennifer's here Teresa. Ice cream that's so funny. Marilyn hi Marilyn. Yes Marilyn the peanut butter clios are eight and you know what's funny about that. This is what's funny about that. Every time I have a peanut butter clio bar for eight points I think I could be having a Reese's the Reese's Butter Cup but here's the good news. If I eat a Reese's Butter Cup then I'm totally craving real sugar. Clio bars don't do that to me. Look on grandpa's bedstand. Okay that's fine Oliver that's okay. Okay bear with me guys. Okay so Jennifer absolutely changing. Suze is driving. I'm so happy to see you Suze. I'm telling you this spring summer I'm coming up there. Okay Laura asked and I don't know if Laura's still here or not. Do I eat on my weeklies every week? I don't. That was a combination of do not and don't and don't Captain. Um and if you do can you still lose weight? Okay Laura let's talk about weeklies. Weeklies are a very interesting subject for us a weight watcher. Yes very good. Careful don't knock this over. What you have a clio bar? Uh you can have a clio bar. Weeklies are something that we all kind of have to play with because they reacted to different people on their weight loss program because points are not created equal like if you take eight smart points in a Reese's bar it's not going to be as nutritious and good for you as if you take eight smart points in somebody give me a good eight-point nutritious food. Hi Kase. Oliver your dad's here. So it's something that everybody plays around with also something that bears keeping in mind when we start off and when someone starts off at a heavier weight than a lighter weight they're going to drop a little quicker than if you start at a light. I don't know I'm I feel like I'm I'm not I'm not saying this properly so that it makes sense. If I was 300 pounds I would likely lose more at the beginning of my program than if I was say 160 pounds. Also something anybody who's new has to keep in mind so that they don't haul their husbands to divorce court. Here let me show them for anybody who's new this is a clio bar. Men lose quicker than women because you know we got the periods we got the baby birthing we got the menopause uh why not let the men lose weight quicker than women too because all is fair between men and women right? Oh it's ridiculous uh also ladies the younger ladies are going to lose quicker than us too age is on their side and the only thing frustrating about that is I wish when I was their age I would have known that but then nobody older than us is going to say hey you need a chunky needle you need to lose your weight now when you're young because it's going to be easier than when you're an old hag at almost 58 I call myself an old hag not you guys. I got off subject um so weeklies are a very personal thing it's something you have to play with I don't eat my weeklies unless this is when I eat my weeklies sometimes I walk at night I take three walks a day if I take a walk at night and I come home and I'm hungry I may eat two weeklies of something that's healthy maybe a healthy fat which is also super important you guys your avocado for some folks peanut butter healthy fats nuts you have to take the points for those it's so important you need to have those healthy fats help you trust me on this your body needs them it's a drag that they are pointed but they are all right um Estelle I didn't mean it that way I meant you guys know what I meant I don't ever mean anything um in an offensive manner but when I was younger I did lose weight much quicker than I do now he's here hi Renee let me go back and see who I may have missed okay okay so you guys can see me now hi Kathy um let's see I asked her again a couple pounds over here when she came across the pond but she'll get rid of them quickly hi Jessica hi Barbara oh I did I was late Barbara I didn't even know I was gonna do this I was having thoughts hello kitty oh thank you kitty that's kind I just figured you know um maybe next time I will tell you Teresa this mama loves hello having seen you know I haven't been here in a while um okay sunshine's asking about a good protein bar okay sunshine welcome by the way good to have you here welcome welcome to the patio at party um I'm gonna give you my two cents on protein bars and then I'm gonna let everybody give you theirs because there are so many wonderful opinions out there and that's what I love about YouTube is it gives you a lot to think about I personally don't love protein bars but this is why I'm a stay-at-home grandmother I don't have to go to work I don't have to go to college I don't have to go to high school I don't have to volunteer therefore I don't have a need for a protein bar now that said somebody who does work who's traveling with work uh traveling with school may get stuck between classes blood sugar blood sugar issues definitely I have a protein bar in my cupboards in case I need to take one with me to Disneyland but as far as for my regular eating program I do not indulge in them I had a quest bar issue once I've spoke about it here numerous times I'll just tell you this about that as Maria likes to say I had two quest bars in a 24-hour period and I had a horrible horrible reaction to it let's just say let's just leave it at that in in the loo and it was like I ate a block of cement and then tried to release it and there was no releasing that but everybody else anybody who has a good protein bar let her know she needs to know because everybody has different opinions and that's what we're about here at Patty work party is everybody's input so that we can all swim around in it and pick it up and food for thought right it's also awesome um and I love that besides bill bar I I'm not a bill bar fan because I have noticed that when I eat bill bars it affects my skin and that is a franken food as far as I'm concerned but but if you want to sit on my couch next to me and chow down on a bill bar with me and you while we're having a conversation I'm gonna let you and I won't say a word because again I'm not the food police that is simply my opinion that's all besides the bill bar three of my people are having lives right now lives Renee oh you mean like lives here oh I didn't check before I came on because I literally was laying on my bed and then I wanted to talk about the subject and I hadn't been live in so long and I knew that uh Renee was worrying about me and somebody else was worrying about me so I just came on uh oh am I am I encroaching anybody else's time you guys uh oh shoot avocado yes ester avocado yes um Michelle started at 350 350 it came off fast for the first couple months right sister girlfriend because because that's just yes they do oh cat you're in the last 15 and it's impossible isn't it though it's so it's so hard oh barber all over loves Clio bars we all do Steve does too okay you guys I'm concerned now Hannah hi

my family is eating ice cream stay here Hannah we've got you Esther I'm happy to be um I'll be 58 in May and I'm happy to be this age I didn't mean it as a negative and that's the one thing about live is that you I have to trust you guys to know that I don't have a mean bone in my body so if I say anything a little skew it's never in a negative manner or nor am I putting anybody down my husband can't stop drinking soda and lose weight just for that yes um I'm lucky that I was not allowed soda growing up and ice I never drank soda because you know when I was growing up I was drinking vodka I sound all good I never drank soda but no but I like vodka so um my dad drinks soda like crazy my dad um I don't think I've ever seen him without a can in his hand and definitely where to find the spinach and egg white recipe Estelle that is something I buy at Costco but I bet if we look around we can find something for you if you remind me at the end of this I'm happy to look around and help

Jennifer avocado by weight watchers rules uh says to count avocado I am not a rebel when it comes to weight watchers I count everything they tell me to count I count my blended fruit because I don't

I can't see anything okay wait hold the phone everybody hold on everybody grab your water bottle does everybody have their water here's to Angie she's on her second week and she's down six point four right on Angie you have to take a drink too congratulations friend that is fantastic hi Connie that's fabulous Laura's 53 she's lost 12 pounds so far but see here's the point you guys we're losing right all we have to do is what we have to do and we can do it it may not be quick as quick as we like but as long as we're getting there oh my gosh that's fantastic uh Sharon I'm not no I have my Ralph's which is Kroger for you guys has him it's like the biggest store in our town and back when I did have trouble finding him I got him off of Amazon are you having trouble finding him there you go there's cats input on the avocado oh that's great hi Debbie it's so nice to see you say I knew cat cat I wish you could be like here that's like my dream right now I just I didn't realize it just now but how much would I love to do a duo live with cat but then I just would out talk her sweetness the whole time I would never be able to shut up and she wouldn't get a word in edgewise because she'd be too sweet to tell me to shut my yak hi Lindsay no still I'm so not they okay Sharon my Walmart stopped to and that's when I went to Kroger try calling around remember the old saying my mom always said it let your fingers do the walking let your fingers do the walking only do it on a tablet or something oh I've never thought of baking with avocado Sharon you know it was but oh lay wraps are that one thing I have to have it's not one of those things that I can try to find um something instead of because I tried even the the other wrap the carp master ones that are one point made by the same company I tried those to ease up on the old boys pocketbook and it just it's one of those things I will spend the money on we all have that one thing right maybe two I just but I could just I would be so excited for one and um I just I would I would drown her out it doesn't take much for me to drown anybody out you're sweetest still so let's see what else did I want I had a little list that I've been keeping for the last couple of weeks of things that we don't often talk about on wwe watcher excuse me you guys I know my nose always itches on a regular basis when I'm editing it's like Nina why don't you just sit like this the whole time and save everybody the trouble my gosh because we always talk about the same stuff as far as weighing and measuring and water and points and and I was trying to think of things that that really matter to the program that aren't talked about a lot and the scanning came up and the weight watchers math and just how important it is because we're talking we could be off by anywhere from three to five points if we're not paying really good attention Teresa loves the Olay wraps but she orders the tomato basil ones on amazon because Walmart stopped carrying them do you like the flavored one Barbara my dreams do you like the flavored ones better than the regular olay wraps because my rouse also carries the spinach and the tomato basil and I like my just regular ones but I did try them out I have a very like they weren't super flavorful it could have totally been all in my head but I just like my regular one because I use my cheese for the flavor got dark in here all of a sudden didn't it can you guys see me okay I guess it's hard to miss me with all this white hair sorry making sure I thought I heard Oliver raising his voice so it sounds like everybody's doing good honey says I prefer the wwe calculator to the scanner there is no doubt with it that's the absolute truth uh that is the absolute truth I'm so sorry to interrupt your live stream is do you know if we have six AAA batteries we'll find out when grandpa wakes up I don't know right now probably tell your dad to come here I can tell him where to look you know Barbara I don't know we'll do another that is um it's nice though it's just been chilly for me but not for you guys wisdom hair is my hair is I don't know so much about wisdom but just life Chelsea's responsible for this area no Chelsea's responsible for this area Christopher's only responsible for about this area and I should blame myself for the bulk of it actually Teresa doesn't like the spinach ones and the whole wheat ones are two points so I don't eat um Teresa have you tried the Olay wellness wraps um have you seen them if you would like me to show you when I'd be more than happy to and yes absolutely the calculator that's that's how you know your exacts and that's that would actually be um a good lesson to teach folks when they're starting ww because going back to the Laura's avocado question I and I'll stand by it till the cows come home because the cows apparently are coming back because I keep referring to them it's when you start a w if anybody's watching this after the live and you're thinking about starting ww weight watchers what what if you're just starting just do exactly what they tell you just do it count your blended fruit count your avocado eat some healthy fats count them and then when you get a feel for the pram then start tweaking things what if Barbara's the which wisdom hair is I'm all right what does that mean it means you're beautiful and it means you're smart and talented uh Barbara why don't you tell everybody about your youtube channel and and you and what you do so that all these fine people can go take a look when we're all done here because I'm sure there's people here who haven't seen my painting I wish I was in my room I would show everybody but I sat out here Barbara is an artist you guys and she is she does um she does animals see I can't think of what it's called right now because I got a chill she is a wonderful wonderful artist she has a youtube channel she's down here she has a wrench next to her name hopefully that's not what she paints with that she painted she surprised me painted a picture of my grandson that she got off my facebook uh from a trip the first time we ever took him to the beach is the most beautiful beautiful painting of him I could ever hope to have me ronda okay if you mean me I don't even know what to say to that except thank you and oh my gosh she she's an oil painter ronda thank you so much debbie it's so beautiful and congrats on 15 pounds yes cat she's okay I'm sorry all over the place ronda if you meant me I cannot thank you enough and congrats it sounds like you're doing wonderfully well oh wow it's like okay week made oh my goodness hello gee now I have three wrenches we had an earlier visitor laura paints and watercolors portraits oh my look at all these talented folks we have here okay all filled back up michelle I'm sorry I don't have my glasses so I'm missing a few things pretending like I'm not oh okay come on let's bring out a couple trolls see what these women can do to them I call it whack-a-mole when I'm when I'm um sitting in the back on Amy's videos when michelle and mary are michelle zerber and mary vitro also have wrenches over it and is for nurse and sometimes they'll just sit in the back and watch and then I like to pop in like a whack-a-mole just get them oh you're right add water good job my water's kicking in but I'm not going to go it still says we don't have a kroger I have to have my daughter pick things up on her way from huntsville after work sometimes we forget to ask her to bring so Laura do you have a facebook page or youtube channel or somewhere where we can go view your beautiful paintings I love watercolors I love talent I you know talent it's if I I sometimes I have two things I wish you know the old wishes if I could wake up and automatically know how to do something you'd be be able to paint and be able to play the piano why you guys are having well you know at the clayo bars too you could get them online but you know I'd do that to you taste them to see if you like them or not I want the coconut ones but I have to send away from them and they're likely eight smart points but I love coconut and I think I had a coconut bill bar but I can't I can't eat the bill bars and plain and simple the bill bars are just too expensive for me they're super if you think if you guys missed in one of my videos I put a link for Sabrina at Sabrina's W she changed her name is so forgive me Sabrina's WW successes and struggles I believe she did a video on the cost of bill bars and the cost of regular foods that you can get at your market but it was super duper ding ding ding ding eye opening at how much the bill bars are especially if you eat more than or even if you eat one a day it was crazy anybody needs that information like we know and I will direct you and where to find that it was super eye opening uh this mom is not a huge fan of the bill bar the coconut bill bars are good I bet they are good I think I think I have had one before and I love coke I could eat a leather boot covered in coconut and then chocolate and chances are I would probably enjoy it because I do like coconut Teresa doesn't like coconut Teresa's mother's on ww with her right on it's always fun to have somebody to do it with do they go on sale Sharon I wasn't even aware that they go on sale Barbara me too coconut coconut it's good they make coconut clear bars you guys news flash the ones that aren't for those of you who have found them enjoy them they make coconut espresso and honey and you can buy them online I so good I didn't know they went on sale but then again I have a friend my friend see Mindy mom beautiful Mindy she's on very well she should be back by now on occasion she'll send me a couple bill bars and I'll just eat them sparingly and I do enjoy them again they aren't for me health wise and they aren't good for my pocketbook but when she gifts them to me I do eat them but I just have to be super careful and also with the coconut did you guys see the overnight oats I made with the coconut and the pineapple that was good need I just bought the butternut squash zigzag gonna eat some of the way you do with sugar free the ones at Trader Joe's Seuss oh so good Laura thanks for popping in if you need any information write anything in any of my anywhere and I will be more than happy to get the info to you thank you live with her that makes it even that much more fun Debbie says bill bars are on sale and if you buy more than one box an additional discount but see you know it's just it's a personal personal thing I just I have to say I was intrigued in my Instagram feed gosh this was a couple weeks ago I think they had a new flavor of I think it was like peanut butter and fudge from she doesn't say Felicia how does she say her name she's a big big youtuber I guess it was her code and I thought that sounds like a good combination but let's see Estelle says track I track even my zero point foods yes that way you know exactly what I'm eating track everything yes Sharon says no I still have a couple packages of sugar free oatmeal from the original recipe Sharon you do they discontinued do you have the the Walmart brand or the Quaker brand because they stopped carrying they stopped making the one that I enjoyed so much Michelle says bill bars are way out of her budget she lost 235 pounds without that stuff so I figure I will survive without them I may or not be saying I agree with you 100 000 percent I know Sharon and it stinks I'm so bummed why do they discontinued the stuff that we grow to love and just eat regularly didn't they know that my whole life depended on them Teresa says they have too limited flavor right now peanut butter brownie and banana nut bread Lou I know Michelle's quite the success story I love it when she when she brings it up because I think those of us who talk on a regular basis we forget to bring it up because we think everybody knows and everybody doesn't know ah Sharon I miss them I'm eating the regular instant oatmeal now it's not sugar free it's three smart points and what I do is I put either some vanilla in there or I put cake batter extract or I put sweet drops just to sweeten them up and then the last batch I made what I did was I made it with the regular oatmeal so it doesn't really have a flavor I put coconut extract in there and then I added pineapple the next morning only because somebody asked me why I didn't put the pineapple in when I made the overnight oats was because of the moisture I didn't know if it was gonna have too much moisture but I don't think it would have I think it would be safe to add the pineapple the night before let me tell you it was tasty tasty tasty Debbie's on green and she tracks oh yeah it's it's only the smart way to do it it's smart smart way to go have you had the Kodiak waffles Jennifer is asking I think most of us have I've had the Kodiak mix and I've made waffles and bakes and different things out of them and I like them by Debbie thanks for popping in nice to see you Estelle says Jennifer Kodiak waffles are the only way to go I also have bought birch benders and I like that too I know 235 pounds is a lot when you think about it I mean you know what I mean it's like we read things let me go but that's that's wild and it's wonderful and you know what Michelle you know what you need to do my friend is you need to pop and put that out there in more lives not just here but in other lives that you're on for people who how can I say this I have two waters um I needed this straw right now it was Sharon okay so how do I say this diplomatically there's a lot a lot a lot a lot a lot a lot of folks on the YouTube as the kids like to say and everybody's got different things going on Michelle just remind people that it can be done and if and that you don't have to have all that stuff it totally can be done I remember when my mom did Weight Watchers and they made their own spaghetti sauce before crock pots or no they had crock pots but they didn't do with the crock pot and four insta pots and you know they did the liver once a week and all that stuff they didn't have to rely on and I know I gotta keep my act shut because I get myself in trouble you brought your fat close to your meeting last week that had to have been something okay Jennifer says she's only had the vanilla ones and loved them alone with coffee and no syrup Michelle Barbara wants to know if I'm okay I bet it is hard I bet it's super hard it still doesn't have an Aldi you know what you guys I'm the odd man out on Aldi there's a couple few things that I enjoy there but like when when I first found Aldi because I didn't know about it till I joined this wonderful community and I got there happy farms like their takeoff on the laughing cow and I found it to have no flavor I just wasn't it wasn't there's very few things that I eat I am not a foodie if you guys notice hi I rarely talk about food because food isn't the be all end all in those original you the original 35 guys know that but the foods that I do eat I want I will spend the extra buck so that I enjoy it does that make sense I always tease Amy for saying does that make sense and now here I am doing it ooh cornbread chili baked sounds good Sharon and it's funny you bring that up because I am missing the taco soup chili that it was always zero points on freestyle which is why I didn't do good on freestyle because I always ate it I need to point that out and make it because it was super good Michelle says I could wear them over my clothes I'm sure you could have worn them over your clothes a couple times was it mine Sharon Sharon was it my cornbread chili do I need to go to my playlist and look it up that's so funny oh Michelle I wish there was a way you could share all of that with us um Barbara I could live at Trader Joe's I love love Trader Joe's see Lou Lou I'm thanks I'm glad that you get it because it's just and thankfully I have to tell you guys something kind of funny why would she mind Michelle people need that kind of encouragement I agree this mama they there there have been things I've picked up there that I've enjoyed one thing though that I picked up there I remember when Steve and I first went there was I got some elevation bars oh my goodness and I wasn't aware of the malatol and I either went on a first date or went to church or was leaving a meeting with loads and hordes of people behind me oh it wasn't good it's but Trader Joe's and Aldi's isn't under Aldi or Trader Joe's and Aldi it's I have a whole video on it I could I should tag you in it they aren't they go back but it's uh type of video messaging at the same time oh Jennifer's feeling motivated you guys okay Sharon I'll look at my playlist Lou says hey Steve hey Lou did you hear money hey Michelle says hey Steve Michelle hi Michelle cat says hello hi cat oh yeah Patty that could be a problem Barbara says hey Mr. Steve I think she's flirting with you hey Mrs. Barbara Barbara's our painter but we have a new painter here tonight Laura did Barbara did Laura ever tell us if she has a place where we could view her her art oh absolutely oh she did okay I'm gonna have to go back through and check it out um I love Trader Joe's I love just hanging out at Trader Joe's talking to the people listening to the music I might maybe it's a California thing bye Angie thanks for popping in and giving us your good news keep on trucking baby you've got this ghost pepper chips have you tried um weighing them and putting them baggies and separating them so that you're not grabbing the whole bag and macking out at once they sound good I'm not familiar with those you're welcome and congrats again Steve did you give oh hi Steve did you give Steve a one-point bite of the Cleo bar Patty he's had you like the Cleo bars right yeah he likes the vanilla ones that's what everybody likes guess what excuse me we found out today that they went from five to six points no it's not good I'm bummed out about that but I'm glad I said something um on Instagram so that Cleo maybe they'll maybe they'll do something who knows let's see do most people have a Trader Joe's nearby oh honey I always forget you're across the pond you know I have found that most people don't I do I have one nice and close by California we have them everywhere they're not hard to find Patty then my Cleo would only be four points I miss something so are you kidding me give me a list of what to go try out that would be even better Jennifer I am but I never go over there I'm too busy here in Instagram it's it I just I don't connect with connect you know what I mean Michelle you're a trainer to be where what did I miss you guys Michelle what are you a trainer for not plentiful in the Midwest you're in the perps Michelle I'd love to have you but it's pretty crowded already and a lot of folks are leaving and it's expensive if I give Steve one bite oh Patty but they're not that big that's my only beef with the Cleo bar is that um no it didn't you're right Jennifer it is expensive Trader Joe's are very particular about where they go because they have to go somewhere with a small parking lot every Trader Joe's I've ever been to in my life has the crummy's parking lots you're trying to move out Jennifer where you guys gonna go Michelle what are you training to do I'm watching right now Estelle says I did WW back then too we had to make our own tomato sauce by tomato juice yes Estelle and you lost weight and you didn't have to buy billboards right I'm sorry you guys this is an acquired taste too it's funny people I don't know I love it though I mean I love it I wish I could work there it's interesting Trader Joe's the way they run their stores is everybody does everything you don't have just cashiers you don't have just produce just dairy just bakery everybody has to be able to do everything which is why okay I think I understand uh I can't work there because I can't lift things I can't do any right you know but I think that's kind of interesting they are patty you know why they're so friendly because they're happy they have a good job they pay well they have good insurance it's just a good company it's a super good company and I forgot who said about Aldi's and this is um this is like if you guys go to Aldi's and you go to Trader Joe's you will see that there's no there there's they're not related to each other you guys very polite please do Lou and in the meantime I am going to make a list of my favorite things for you to check out especially the cauliflower okay I want you to try the okay get back to me on that cauliflower fried rice no what is it called honey the cauliflower cauliflower rice stir fry that's the word I was looking for it boy is nobody Jennifer you're here in California with me right everybody else is back east or in the Midwest so I'm going to wrap this up because my honey is up it's so good Lou oh my gosh I mean I had it packed in my freezer with rotisserie chicken oh and it's like you can eat two cups for one point oh my gosh it's so good Christine says I don't go to Trader Joe's since now we have to park in a garage see what's up they I don't know you know what Jennifer my Trader Joe's now has a sign up saying no filming because they had so many people in their filming and the customers were complaining because they didn't you can come in here babe customers didn't want to be caught so I am not allowed to film in mine but I can tell you guys somebody who does hold the phone for a second one of my disney youtubers the name of their channel if anybody wants to see Trader Joe's video get your pen and paper right now or let
