 I'm almost live. I'm semi-alive. Anybody wanna chit chat and make a plan for this week? Nina, you said you were gonna make regular videos. I am, but it's Sunday afternoon. Oh, I hope I put this on live. Hi, Suki, I'm so glad you're here. Sorry, I'm trying to adjust my slippers. Hi, Susan Suki. Okay, well, let's talk about this. You know, I have, you know what? Here's my stories, Morning Glories. We have talked on this channel with, well, let's just talk for a second. First of all, do you have your water? Because if you don't, there you go, Sue. Hi, Laura. If you don't have your water, go get it because I am moving very slow this morning. I'm gonna talk slow. I'm just slow, slow, right on. Because you know what? The red-headed nurse and I were messaging last night where we chit chat, and you know where your bathrooms are. Oh, you guys are the best. Hi, Bee, oh my gosh. I hope you can stick around for a couple of minutes. Are you gonna be able to stick around for a couple of minutes? I know Sundays with kids and family are important. So before I went on, I was like, well, Nina, don't expect any, but oh, yeah. You know what? If your hubby's by you, he may be at work or not. I don't think I commented on your last video because I think I might have been driving and I was listening to you. But you tell him for me that maintenance is just as good as a loss. And I'm just like, I love watching his progress and he's just doing such a great job. Dishes, I'm not gonna. Renee's here. Hi, Renee. I'm so glad you guys are here. I was just sitting here. I'm like, totally, if you can't tell, I'm like, look at my eyeballs and the bags under my eyes. Liz, am I dreaming, am I dreaming that my friend Lizny's here right now? Hi, Jimmy. You guys, what do you guys all do? I expected everybody to be so busy on this Sunday before Christmas. Please let him know. And yes, you should be proud of him. Liz, I'm so happy you're here. I'm happy you're all here. Thank you, Suki. Actually, yesterday I had piled it up here in just like to get rid of it. And the red-headed nurse said, oh, your hair looks so cute. And I'm like, are you kidding me? She goes, no, it looks cute. So I thought I'd do it again today. Hi, Gamm. Hi, Doreesa. Hi, everybody. Oh my gosh. I'm so happy to see you all. I totally expected. I've got my elf. Well, actually this is Steve's jammy shirt, but I'm wearing it. This is where I'm sitting. Let's see if I can turn you guys around. Let's see. If you haven't seen my video from last night yet, it's very short, sweet to the point about our decor. Go have a look at all the hard work my hubby did. Anyways, I was sitting here and I was thinking, Susan, just sitting here chilling on the Sunday afternoon before the 64th birthday this coming Saturday. Enjoy it, Susan. Just enjoy it. So many people don't get their 64th anniversaries or birthdays, right? Hi, Melody. Thank you, Renee. It's small, but it's cozy and it's warm and it's comfy. Okay. Laura says, I had a horrible day. My van was leaking antifreeze, so I had to go to the shop, but went to my way in. Okay, I'm gonna stop there and give you the biggest thumbs up I can. And you're down 3.9 pounds. Laura, everybody give Laura. I'm giving you a Bravo stick, that's, oh my gosh, that's fantastic. Oh my gosh, so fantastic. That's mind blowing. Everybody, let's take a drink on behalf of the Great Loth. From a Santa event, you know what? I need to ask Oliver if he wants to go have his picture taken with Santa. I don't think we did it last year. And we have the same Santa in our mall every year. I mean, it's literally the same Santa. Thank you, Katie. Oh, Laura, that's, you started off this live with a bang, and I don't know what I'm doing. I'm just, I was sitting here, I was having a couple thoughts regarding the white watchers, some things that I've been thinking about, and I thought, oh, just turn on the computer, Anita, and let's see if anybody is interested in talking about it. These are my thoughts. Now, I'm not gonna look at the comments for just a minute, because then I get distracted. Wait, Jill, Jill, congratulations. That's fantastic. You guys, let me know what plans you're on. I'm just curious, because I think that this changed the white watchers, and I'm never gonna say WWE, because I can't, white watchers, okay, wait, I gotta go back. If you guys are like, why is Anita slurring? Why is she like that? I woke up at three o'clock this morning, boom, wide awake. We went to bed early. I woke up at three o'clock this morning. I couldn't go back to sleep, so finally I called the game. I came out here, I was on my computer, sat out here for two hours, went back to bed, and I just woke up and got out a bit like an hour ago, and I can't seem to get my, I can't. So if you guys are wondering why I'm like, bleh, that's why. Hi, Bonnie. Hello from Tennessee. Okay, I need, okay, Melody's green. Turquoise, I haven't decided right now, you're too funny. The pumpkin cranberry bread, I haven't seen that. We've got Jill's green. Okay, so these are the thoughts that I was waking up with this morning. Of course, I have my water. I'm hoping you guys all have your water. Now I say this with all the seriousness in the world. I am always talking about the water. And last night I was talking to the redheaded nurse and she was saying that she's having such success on the green program, but she believes that the simpleness that I've been talking about, I'm paraphrasing, but the water, the walking and the tracking have completely helped her. And I wanted to get on here and talk with you guys. Even though it's the holidays, even though it's Christmas and Hanukkah and we have the good foods around us, this can still be done. I've seen a lot of people throw in the towel saying, for now, if I can maintain and absolutely maintain me is good. You know, I'm not gonna work on losing. You guys, it's totally doable. If you have your water, if you track everything, and even if you just eat the foods you like and track them and have portion control, you can still lose over the holidays. Who, I have not talked to her yet. Denise over at Dish with Dee. If you don't know her, she has a YouTube channel called Dish with Dee. She hit goal. I saw her announcement on Facebook. I haven't been able to personally congratulate her. Guys, she hit goal in the middle of the holiday season. Does that tell you anything? And she, let me just say this about my friend Denise that I haven't even said to her and because I don't want her to take events. A lot of times I can't sit and talk with her lives because she is a food lover. She loves food. She loves to cook. She's a great cook. I don't love food. I don't like to cook. I'm not a great cook. And I don't like hearing about food. So a lot of times I'll sit in on her lives and her videos and stuff. And then when they all start talking about food, I'll check out. My point being is this is a person that enjoys the goodness and she hit goal. She lost 117 pounds, you guys. I didn't even know I was going this way when I started this live. I did not intend on talking about somebody without their knowledge. But man, kudos to her. And just because it's Christmas, just because people are baking, just because we're going to people's houses. And it totally can be done. It's not impossible. Weight Watchers and Weight Watcher folks, one of the big things is it's a way of life. Now, I kind of like don't, it's not a diet. I'm cold because I'm drinking this cold water. They say that Weight Watchers is not a diet. It's a way of life. And I don't always agree with that. But at times like this, it totally is and can be a way of life. I don't want everybody to just chuck their programs into the fireplace until the first of the year. And because you don't have to, it's totally doable. And I just wanted to get on here and enforce that because it's completely doable. Make plan out if you have an occasion that you're going to, if you have a, see, I'm lucky and then I don't have work parties or family parties. I have zero, zip zero parties ahead of us. In fact, Steven and I were talking about it yesterday at HomeGoods. He says, I said, I can't believe it's not a zoo in here because it was not a zoo in there. And I tried to tell him that the reason it's not a zoo in here is because this is, we're late to the decorating game. Last week was when everybody started decorating, you know, last weekend and after Thanksgiving and whatnot. And he didn't believe me, but he never believes me. And I said, oh, he said he was observing a young woman purchasing a windy canter. He says, I think a lot of the people in here are purchasing gifts and not decor. Why did I even go, what did I start saying? What did I start saying? Oh my gosh, I'm so off the, all right, let me come in and say hi to you guys because I'm so thankful that you're here. Can't stand when I talk about food. When I don't like it either and it's no offense to anybody, but they just get so into it. But my point is, is that I'm trying to make a good point for Denise. Dish with Dee, go check her out, is that she's still enjoying her foods that she loves and she's still cooking them and she's altering her recipes. And she's lost 170 pounds, 17 pounds. It is that goal. I had no plan on going there. I hope it's okay that I'm talking about her. I'm only talking about her in the most positive ways. All right, let me go back and see what's happening here with you kids. Jill did something that I think I might have missed. No, I found, okay, I did catch Jill's. Renee with the turquoise, Melody's green. Bonnie's from Tennessee. Okay, Laura, I am now the lightest weight I have been in my daughter's whole life. She will be 15, congratulations, Laura. Oh, that's so fabulous. Anna's green, Teresa's blue. Hi, Kath! My friend, Kathy's here. Kathy Spencer, you guys, she's my personal friend and I'm so happy to see her. Kathy, I was thinking about you yesterday because I didn't know if you've been on board or not. I'm so happy to see you. I'm happy to see all of you. Stella says her weigh-in was on Tuesday. She lost 1.6 after Thanksgiving. Bravo sticker to Estelle. Don't you wish they still gave Bravo stickers? I do. WWGIN's weight loss journey. I don't know what that's all Renee is saying. So bad about water. Renee, Renee, come on, Lady, you've been hanging out with me since I got on here and you're bad about water. Do I need to send you a cup? Would that help? I have to order myself a cup and I was thinking about ordering another one for a giveaway or for somebody. And you've always been here with me since the beginning, Renee. In fact, I remember your first comments. Isn't that funny? I've been on the purple plan but I'm thinking of going to green. Purple is not working for me. I feel like I'm starving. Okay, Bonnie, then try the green. That's the beauty of all the programs is checking them out, see what works for you. Let us know. Okay, Katie needs water too. Come on, you guys, what do I have to do to get you to drink your water? Do you need enhancements? I just have mine cold and with lemon and I love it. It's so, so refreshing but we need to find out what works for you guys. Susan uses a sprinkle of crystal light and Susan, I think that's awesome because when I do choose enhancements, I cannot use the whole thing either, just a sprinkle. It's tough but it can be done. Bonnie says, yes, I agree on it. I think we keep up with our water and track everything to put into our mouth. We can still work the program and keep losing weight. Totally Bonnie, we totally can. Ask my friend, Kathy, ask her about me last year or actually, yeah, I did see her last year and the year before. Laura says, I got a soda stream from my aunt and that has helped me up my water game. Awesome, whatever it takes, whatever it takes. Renee, I agree, watch this, this is a diet. No, don't be sorry. You know what? Let me stop right here and say that we are all allowed our thoughts. We are all allowed our opinions and we need to all stop being sorry because I'm always apologizing for myself, not for you, Renee. And it's okay, we're all grown women, we're adults and everybody has a different outlook on things so let's not be sorry. Okay, Melody has a channel. I guess I'm gonna have to check it out, hold on a second. Oh, Teresa, I'm sorry. Go to sleep, I hope you wake up feeling better, friend. Hello, this mama. Who did you tell? Did purple last week and was down 2.6. Kathy, that's fabulous. I'm dying to know what you ate. If you're gonna be here for a couple minutes and you wanna type in any things that you like relied on on the purple program, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop. I'm so tired. Let us know, that's fabulous. I never thought of you doing the purple program, isn't that funny? Okay, Renee, hi there. Thank you, Andrea. You know what, it's a small house but it's a cozy house, it's a comfortable house and I like it. I was watching all the other girls and all their decorations and I kind of felt like, oh, I don't have much to show but you know what, it's about how you feel, right? It's about how you feel. This mama says she carries a thermos of water around the house all the time. Now, right on. I inspired my husband and he just bought his own thermos for water. That's awesome, good job. Okay, Katie says, check out Kioxa on YouTube or Connect. She has a huge amount and has loads of non-diet foods. Katie, she has lost a huge amount. I'm so tired, I'm sorry, check out on YouTube or Connect. She has lost a huge amount and has had loads of non-diet foods. Okay, I don't know why I'm not being able to figure out what that's saying to me. Anytime you don't eat, drink what you want, you're on a diet, I agree. I totally think it's a diet. Him says, you totally helped me drink in my water about a year ago now. Oh, I bought it for a long time, but it's all I drink now. Oh, Cam, you made my day, friend. How much fruit do you all eat every day? Suki, that is, is Suki your name? I was watching you on Amy's channel or somebody's channel and they said they thought it was Suki's your animal's name. I don't know if it's your name or your animal's name, but that's an excellent question because I think that that particular subject applies to different people in different ways. I eat a lot of fruit when I have it in the house. If I'm hungry or I have the snackies and I find myself wandering in the kitchen, I'm gonna grab some fruit. Bananas are dangerous. I have berries for my overnight oats, but I think it's kind of a, I've seen people have to pull themselves back, but I myself would rather eat fruit than something else. If I wanna eat something, and I have fruit, I'm gonna eat it, but I think it's an individual thing. If it doesn't have to feel, I meant to say it doesn't have to feel like a diet. It doesn't have to feel like a diet. Francis is starting again tomorrow. Francis, are you gonna do the grand program and why are you starting tomorrow? Why don't you start right now? If you have water right now while you're hanging out here with me and the other Patty Whackers, you're back on plan, my friend. But good luck and you'll be successful. Love, love, love the green plan. Melody eats one to two servings of fruit a day. That's really good. Jen, thank you, Jen. I appreciate that. I pride myself in trying to remember everybody's names. Since I don't have 10,000 people following me, I can do it and I like that. Kathy eats two to three servings of fruit. Okay. Oh, Katie has a cat called Suki. Oh, that's awesome. I used to eat a lot of fruit but have recently cut back a little. Kim, have you noticed any difference in your wands when you do? Sue says she has checked out Kioxa channel. Can I say wow, she has lost a lot of weight. You know, I appreciate that because I'm gonna say something that, it's not gonna be popular. When I watch YouTubers, I like to watch YouTubers that have actually lost weight. There's a lot of you watching YouTubers. Some of them I look at and they've been on for a while and they haven't budged. So I'm gonna check that person out. You know, can somebody, Kathy or Kim, somebody who's friends with me on Instagram, will you message me over there and give me this gal's name so that I can check it out? Bananas, Katie, bananas. I love bananas. On my 10th birthday, we were in Tucson, Arizona on a movie that my dad was working on, obviously. And we were in this hotel and right next to the hotel was a little fruit market. And every morning before school, I'd get a banana and on my 10th birthday, this guy gave me a whole thing of bananas. There you are. I was just talking about you. I'll bring it back up, Aimee. Tell you what we were talking about. Thank you, Kathy. Thank you, darling. I love you. I miss you. Okay, let me go back. Grapes, I had to stop buying grapes because I was just eating them by the bushels. But they're good for when you have a sweet tooth but I couldn't be trusted with them. Good for you if you're keeping track. Monday is the official starting for everything, Renee. I'm trying to catch up. Me too, that's why I like the twins. I love the twins. I think the twins are the epitome of the YouTubing weight loss community. And let me tell you why. They're not in it for the money. They don't make any money. They don't collect any money. They don't sell things. And they just sit down and talk to us from their heart and tell us things that work for them. And I love that about them. They're not in it for the, you know? And yesterday, this is, you know what? I was talking to Amy yesterday and we talked about a bunch of different things. Amy, I was telling them how we were talking about water and walking and tracking and how well you're doing and how that's just, it's just how it works. But anyways, they're genuine. The twins are genuine. They're just there to sit and take 20 to 25 minutes of their time a week, if not every two weeks to tell us their thoughts, their feelings, what they're eating with no, that's it. That's it. They're not selling stuff. They're not, I mean, they show us things that they enjoy and that's that. Kim says, hi, I need to find the Clio bars you talked about there. So good, yay! Oh my gosh, Kim. Steve and I were talking about this last night. Let me read what else. Much rather have them built bars. Much better for you with the real ingredients. Okay, I can just shut this whole thing down now and be happy for the rest of my day. That's all I was trying to say. You know, I have, let me just say this. I'm gonna get this out. I have lost a ton of subscribers since my Clio review. And I think it's because people think that I am putting the kibosh on the built bars, which I'm totally not. And if anybody will listen to me right now, I would appreciate it. The reason that the built bars don't work for me, I love the built bars. But it's a franken food. And when I eat the built bars, my hands are so incredibly bad. My hands get so bad. I love the built bars and they're a little pricey for me since I'm not an ambassador and I don't sell them, I don't get a break. When I found the Clio bars and I found the real food and the real yogurt and the real chocolate and my hands cleared up, I couldn't have been more happy. Yeah, the built bars are delicious, Aime. They're totally delicious. I'm not putting the built bars down. I'm saying for me personally, I have to eat real foods. And I found out after months of eating the darn built bars and I'm happy to have found it. The Clio bars are good for you, the probiotics, and I'll just shut my yammer now. Let me go back and see what you guys are saying. Anyways, subscribers are leaving my channel by thanks, Kat, I saw it, darling. Let me see what's happening. Aimee, I saw your Instagram this morning. Oh my gosh, the church was so, so beautiful, so beautiful. Francis is going to the morning meeting tomorrow. I was going to start earlier, but my fiance is starting his weight loss program. Oh, Francis, that's fantastic that you have somebody to do it with. 250 pounds, holy Samolians, that's a lot. And she has a YouTube channel, okay. Great talking with everyone, drink water, gotta run my van is fixed. Okay, Laura, have a great day. Thanks for popping in. The cotton candy grapes, any grapes remain. Man, I love grapes. And I'm starving right now. I'm waiting for Steve to come home and feed me. What do you want me to remind you about? I got the reminder, but thank you, Kim. My friend, Kathy, sent it to me. This mama says, I always have fruit in the house, especially for my daughters. I insist that they have at least one fruit a day, but they devour grapes, so I never get to overindulge in them. You know what? The fruit for the kids is so important, and I'm saying this from my experience with Oliver, because, and excuse me for the TMI, but if he doesn't have the fruit, he sits in the bathroom for a good hour. That poor child, you gotta have the fruit for the kids. And if you have the fruit for the kids, then you have the fruit for you, and you're all set. Renee's burnt out on the bill bars. What? Amy says, what, what, what? I love the bill bar. If I eat every day, I don't lose. See, you've got it figured out. They are expensive, Melody, and it's a bummer that I can't express my personal opinions without taking a hit for it. But, oh, well, even if I were anti-bill, but Ryan's subscribed, we are all different. Because you know what? I don't know. That's a great question. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. I'm sorry, you guys. I have you on my wobbly old lady TV tray. Let me see. Just track every bite and drink that water. You will done this before and we'll do it again. Okay, what did Melody say? I missed what she said. Oh, she's struggling. Melody, we're here for you. And like Amy said, have your water. Totally have your water, you guys. I know that this is my shtick, but it's because I totally believe in it. I track everything. I don't eat it until it's tracked and then I eat it. I haven't walked this weekend, but it's raining here. And just keep it simple. And don't, and you know what? This is all stuff I say all the time and I'm just gonna say again. If you don't have anything in your house that like I can't have graham crackers, no graham crackers, or like Nilla wafers, that kind of thing, it's in my cupboard and I wander in there and I can't eat one. I have to eat the whole box. Don't have anything in your house. Melody, we all lose at a snail's pace. I don't know how old you are, but the older you are, the slower it goes. And it's okay. As long as you're losing, it's totally okay. I was like that at the beginning when I was like, and at the beginning I was actually losing really well, thinking I was going really slow and in all actuality I kind of wasn't. Because thank you Renee, thank you Renee. It's just, I was, like I said, Amy and I were talking yesterday and I was telling her that it bothers me because I would never, ever intentionally, you guys know me. All right, let's go back and see who's here. Snail's pace is okay as long as you're losing Melody. And the water is so good for you. And it helps with my hands too. See, this is what Amy and I were talking about at the rate she says water has made so much difference. You've been having bathroom issues, Melody. I wish I knew where you were on your program. Did you just start? Have you been in there awhile? Every, you know, it's so not funny, haha, funny, peculiar, but everybody who starts on a weight loss program has that issue at the beginning. I mean, horribly bad. Just some of us will talk about it and others will not. And you just kind of have to get over that hump. It's just a matter of your body getting used to the different foods I think because everybody's out there with their opinions. Get metamucil, which is actually a good thing to have if you get some metamucil and have some every morning, it'll help. But let me tell you sister, I had a tough time when I started. Tough time. Oh, is Tamsen in here? I didn't see her. Tamsen, if you're here, oh, there she is. Hello, happy Sunday, friend. I think this is the first time you've caught me live. And the water too will help. It's just Mima's here. Hi, honey. No poop, no loss, frankly. Hold on, you guys. Amy, keep an eye on everybody. I'm gonna go grab something to show Melody. If anybody leaves, I'm gonna find you and bring you back. You're gonna see lots of YouTubers selling things online, different things, T-M-E-T, this, that, and the other. See, this is where I lose my subscribers because I opened my big yeah. But we all get the same emails from different companies, T-M-E-T. What else do we get, Amy? We all get the same emails from companies wanting us to hawk their wares. Some people do it, some of us don't. I don't, unless it affects my personal family. If it's something we can use like the vaunt. Oh my gosh, you guys. Okay, somebody remind me to go back to that. Melody. Walmart, market, anywhere. Is this backwards to you guys? Smooth move. It's just regular tea for the regular Joe that you can buy in your regular market. And it will totally help. Now, T-M-E reached out to me and asked me to do it. I'm just not good at that because I can't, I'm not reliable. I think I would have liked to have done it to try it for myself, like Amy said. I would have liked to have tried it. But for some folks who can't afford it, just get this at your regular market. Smooth move, isn't that a great name? And if you look at the ingredients on these and the expensive teas, you'll find them to be just the same. All right, let me go back and say hi to everybody. Tamsen, I agree. I drink tons of water and even with my skin problems, it can only help. Calm, yes, Amy, yes, calm is magnesium. Magnesium, get some magnesium. Absolutely, thanks Amy for bringing that up. Kim says, I never go out to fast food places but my daughter took me to KFC today. Oh, it was point friendly? That's awesome, it was point friendly. So you're good to go, we don't have one in my town. Melody calm is the name of a particular, Google it, go to Amazon or something and type in calm but it's basically it's just magnesium the way they do it. I'm sorry Charlotte, I'm sorry friend. Oh my gosh. And heavy walks in after going to get me good food with a pizza but he's sweet and knows this is my trigger and he tries to sneak it upstairs. Oh Rachel, oh my gosh. Oh, there we go, Amy's got the calm out here for you. Oh, they have raspberry and lemon, I didn't know that. I mean ma, family gathering, I miss my family right now. Lots of emails, Amy, lots of emails. Yeah, exactly Amy, only if it benefits us in our life not to just sit on here and yakety yak, I don't know. I know, Ellie, but it's kind of disheartening, it's really weird, I have lost. Oh good Sue, the calm is great and it's just regular, like I said I messaged Amy yesterday and I told her that, I mean I've lost like a ton of subscribers and I can't figure out why, we can't figure out if it's the algorithm on YouTube or what, but Sue you'll love it, start slow, one teaspoon at night. It's because I'm not hip. I'm not doing, actually Amy remind me to tell you next time we talk, I talked to Steve about it yesterday and we came up with a couple of ideas. I use cascara sagrara to get things moving oh I've never heard of that before Rachel, I think it is too Amy, because the numbers are just too big and it's just weird. I just don't want anybody to think that I'm just being me and I'm just putting out my opinion on things and that's all, I'm not, that's it. Here's the secret and if Steve comes in and walks in behind me you guys start screaming so I stop talking. We're not big, how do I put it? I don't have my own credit card, I don't have my own debit, oh I have a debit card for, oh my gosh Melody. You know what, I don't think it won't affect me directly because, and you're writing me it will pick back up. I love you, I'm so glad you're here right now. The copy issues won't directly affect me because I don't, this is not my job, I don't make enough money to where it'll make a difference when you're getting a couple bucks a month. But my Disney friends are just like all in, they're not happy because even though they're doing Disney, it doesn't mean it's meant for children, you know? And they're taking a hit and it's a drag and there's petitions, if you guys get a petition that comes across, sign it because my Disney friends need it, man. Kim says, you're wonderful, if they don't see that it's their loss, thank you Kim. Francis, have a great day, thank you for popping in. But yeah, my Disney, I call them my friends when they're not, in my head everybody's my friend. But they're gonna suffer from it because the rules are animated, like if there's animated this, that they automatically think it's for children. Well, you know, if they're sitting at a bar in downtown Disney throwing back some drinks and Mickey Mouse is there, what are they supposed to do? You know, it's horrible. Thank you, Ellie. You guys are the best. You like the overnight oats, Rachel? Oh, that's so great, you know what? I bought some, I don't know if you go to meetings or not, okay, so here's the thing is they stopped selling Walmart, stopped selling the only thing I loved about them. I know, Cathy, I'm like, I'm, okay, so anyways, Cathy, I wanna come back to that. Walmart sold the sugar-free oatmeal, stopped selling it. And I'm like, oh my gosh, this is totally stink. So what I did was I got the regular oatmeal. Does anybody need to see it? I'm gonna show you just in case. Sugar-free brown sugar, Walmart, was that it had taste, it was good. I just made it with my premier protein, my blueberries, my strawberries, being good to go. Okay, so they stopped selling that. So they, Steve and I stood one day and scanned every box of oatmeal on the shelf. I am not kidding, he's more annoyed about it than I am. So I finally got this, this is three smart points. Sorry about my fingers, you guys, my hands are so ugly. You never realize how much you take your hands for granted until they're so ugly. And don't worry, I'm not looking for, okay, so this is three smart points, so, but it's just plain. So what I do is I put vanilla and or birthday cake extract in there for a little taste and it works out well. Now at my last Wait Watcher meeting, they had these on sale. Okay, honey, they had these on sale. These are three points too. And since they were on sale, I bought them. I normally don't because they're pricey, but I like my oatmeal, I'm starving. So for you guys who have seen my overnight oats in the past, get this one, find your favorite flavoring of extract, put a little drop in there and you'll be so happy. I know I was, I should do a video on that. Amy and I were also talking about my wraps yesterday. She said I should do a video on the wraps I eat because I didn't switch them up a little bit. Yeah, Tamsen, those extracts, and I didn't even realize how many flavors of extracts were there until Joan at Joan's pointed plate did her, was it pancakes or something with the cake batter extract? You know what, Sue, they have pumpkin pie, absolutely. They have pumpkin pie oatmeal that I did purchase and I have a couple left in my cupboard. It's too spicy for me though. I like pumpkin pie, I don't like pumpkin spice, but absolutely, you can make it exactly how you like it. Let's see what's going on over here. I know I'm a little concerned, but I don't know enough about it. Okay, Melody, I lost what you were concerned about. I'll have to go back and look because I want to help. Oh, Meemaw, we are absolutely friends. I'm talking about the Disney people that I watch. I always say that they're my friends and they don't know me from Adam. Okay, Cam, see you later if you, if I didn't, I probably already missed you. There's nothing in the small packages. Rachel says she uses a quarter cup, quick oats, two, oh, two smart points, okay. Half tablespoon brown sugar, substitute, half vanilla, oh my gosh, that is an excellent idea. I need to copy that somewhere. Okay, quarter cup, quick oats, why didn't I ever think of the brown sugar substitute when I have it in my cupboard? Sometimes I'm not the brightest bulb on the branch. Vanilla protein, three smart points. Oh my gosh, Rachel, thanks for typing that in. Oh, that's awesome. Kathy says I ate plain oatmeal, hot with spray butter, swerve, oh swerve brown sugar, and berries every morning last week. I bet it was delicious, especially in the sweater, huh, Kathy? Hey, did you see the swerve cake that I made? Did any of you guys see the swerve cake that I made? Quick fix for not having sugar for you anymore. Absolutely. Rachel, would you mind if I put that idea out or even made a video about that? Do you have a YouTube channel? Because if you do, I won't. But that is such a great idea. Kathy, you need to send me another message. I'm so tired, I'm never gonna remember what you typed, but it sounds so good. But you know what, I'm thinking maybe some warm oatmeal would be good this week. Well, it looks like the clouds are parting. But the reason I got on here is because I don't want anybody, I don't want anybody, no channel, totally go for it. Thank you, friend. I appreciate that. I'll give you a shout out. Kathy, you sent me what you typed? Because once I end this, it's gonna be going forever and I don't wanna sit here and... Just because it's the holidays, you guys don't have to throw your program to the wayside. Absolutely not. It's just the opposite. Just be a little more mindful, more aware, have your regular days. Because I know with me, and because I am honest, my idea of celebrating the holidays is sitting here with a Vietnamese throwing a couple cocktails back. Because to me, that's how you celebrate the holidays. While other people's eat the cookies while they're baking them for their neighbors, you know, what have you? But you don't have to. You know, how about a little willpower? Nobody ever talks about willpower. And I don't know why that is. If something means enough to you, practice some willpower. If you have to do some baking, I don't. And I try to, what's the phrase? Preach what I, I try to follow, I try to do what I put out there. But I know a lot of you guys have to bake and stuff. When you're baking and you're making things for friends and neighbors and teachers and think about it, how important is my way lost to me? How important is it? And do I have the willpower? Or do I have to put this cookie in my mouth? Do I have to? You don't. But if you want it, take it, track it, enjoy it. There's ways around all of it. What'd Joni do? What'd Joni do? Kathy, Rachel's oatmeal up above, what she, let me see. She's right above you with her oatmeal. Let's see, Joni says that I'm an inspiration, me? Or somebody else. I lost 2.8 pounds this week. Congratulations, Bravo stickers for you, friend. That's fantastic. I lost 2.4 and I wish I hadn't made that video because I made my friend Katie over in the UK feel like her one-point game was not good when it was good. I was putting out the whole wrong message. A loss, I keep saying gain, loss. I had a 2.4 loss. Hey guys, hey pals, hey friends, hey, wait, watching ladies. A loss is a loss is a loss. Embrace it and I need to do that myself. Tamson, let's see here. Bee loves her oatmeal, I know. Slice banana, 3 quarters, isn't it better? Oh, I shouldn't be doing this when I'm hungry. Planning does help, even for us who don't work to plan. You know, pre-track. Joni says I am making one-point mini M&M cookie recipe today. One point I said, did you hear that? I am hearing you, friend, but I can't do it because one cookie is one point and 12 cookies is 12 points. I can't do it. My friends on YouTube, as the kids like to say, had that wonderful cookie collaboration and I couldn't watch them because I would just want to make them and eat them all and I just have to do what's right for me. You know what I'm saying? Thanks, Kath. Oh my gosh, you're the best, I'm so glad you're here. You guys, Kathie is, Kathie Spencer, I mentioned earlier she's my personal friend, but I met her on my Disneyland Facebook page and isn't the internet fabulous? Haven't we just all made so many fabulous friends? I, she's one of my best friends. We don't see each other as often as we'd like to because she lives at the other end of the state. But I am, you know, as much grief as the internet brings me, it has brought me just as much happiness. All right, let's see. Beth, hi, Beth. Hi, Nina. I watch a channel that has a ton of subscribers and she sells so much stuff with discount codes. Not only the food, but now jewelry and candles and stuff like that. And you know what, Beth? I think that's, I don't know what to say about that. You know, it's interesting, because I was telling Amy yesterday, maybe I should start answering the emails from the people who say, well, you sell our stuff. And it's just not me. And I just need to do what makes me happy, even though it leaves me with less subscribers than the folks that hawk the wears. You know what I mean? It's like, it's just, and to me, it doesn't have anything to do with Weight Watchers. I don't know. I'm just babbling. Rachel says, I need so much willpower in December, because guess what? I started 20 years ago. 25 days of cookie countdown, don't guess, Christmas. Oh my gosh. I used to sell as cookie, I used to sell as cookie clean, but just give them away now. Oh my gosh. Mima lost 1.2 this week. I know Mima. It's not everybody. And you know what? It takes a lot of work to do that, too. It takes a lot of work. Hey, Sue, have a great day. Thanks for hanging out with us. Have a wonderful rest of the day. What time is it? It's 1.20. I haven't had anything to eat yet, because I was up all night. Thanks, Kath. Siri just said bummer indeed. Thank you, Kathy. I appreciate it. So that's all. I need to hop off of here and eat something. I've got all these foods in front of me and my fire and my trees and comfy cozy. I thought Steve would be home by now, but I guess he's playing with his neighbor friend. For you guys who hang out with me on my channel, I greatly appreciate it. I just want to say that when I put my personal opinions out there, nobody has to agree with them. It's a big world with a lot of opinions and what works for me won't work for you. It might work for you, but I just like to put it out there. I like to hear other people's ideas like Rachel's. Look at that great idea we got today from Rachel. And just because something isn't for me doesn't mean I'm putting down somebody that's for them. You know what I'm saying? I like McLeo bars. I love the bill bars. I just can't eat them. They are not good for my skin. It's a franken food, but that doesn't mean I'm downing anybody who does enjoy eating them. Tamsen says, you're doing a fun, great job, Anita. Thank you, Tamsen. Oh, my beautiful smile and laughter. Thank you, my friend. Thank you, thank you. I like to laugh. Laughing is the best, isn't it? So hang in there this week, you guys. Hang in there this month. It can totally be done. Bye, Susan. Enjoy your supper. Thank you for hanging out. My laugh is contagious. Thanks, Rachel. I like to laugh. I just like I'll be in my kitchen brushing my hair. How about the bathroom, Anita? And something will tickle me, and I'll just laugh. Laughing is laughter is the best medicine. So, OK, let's wrap this up. I'm going to let you guys go, and I'm going to go eat something. I'm going to call the husband and say, hello, hello. Can you take me to Sharky's? Because I want to have some chicken and some veggies. And I got lots of points since it's 1.20, and I haven't eaten today. But you guys, don't let the holidays don't be fooled to thinking that you can't follow your program, because you totally can. And even if you don't want to lose, you want to enjoy the cookies. You want to enjoy the lint. Did anybody see that huge lint chocolate at Home Goods? Oh, my gosh. We saw it yesterday when we were out getting some stuff. Steve says, do you think you could eat that all in one sitting? And I said, if somebody challenges me, yes, I do think I could. Bye, darling. I hope it's not too crowded. Good luck to you, too. So yeah, you guys, I'm going to go for once. I'm going to do what I say. Stick with it. You can do it. No, Kath. Oh, my gosh. Love you. Love you all. You guys are the best. Thanks for popping in here when I just turned on my computer and just want a yakky yak. Hang in there. If anybody needs any help, thank you, Rachel. With anything, feel free to let me know. I'm going to go eat. Everybody enjoy the rest of the day. And thank you for coming and hanging out with me. It means a lot. Truly it does.
