Apryl - my dear, sweet girl...hope you're feeling better (this has gone on for almost a week, have you seen a doctor?) Drink lots of fluids and get lots of rest!
PeachGirl - Thanks for the recipe, it does indeed sound delish...but I can't say I've ever seen brocolli slaw ever!
BethC - Congrats on reaching 10% Did you get your keychain?
TooFatFish - Even I can't be too much of a board b*tch on someone's birthday! Hope you had a wonderful day and all the best for the upcoming healthy and fit year! Hope you enjoyed your "treat day" because you're not allowed another - back to work, girl!
SAPF - Where will I be reading about your visit with the renal dietician - here or on your journal? We always have lots of soy on hand here (milk, burgers, crackers, etc.) because George's middle child is extremely allergic to animal milk (as well as eggs) which means I have to be quite creative sometimes.

3 - (estimate) couple of teaspoons of cream cheese frosting
7 - individual sized homemade meatloaf
4 - 4tbsp. garlic and herb buttered mashed potatoes

Beverages: 2 500ml bottles water, 1 10oz glass soda water, 2 cups lemon tea (caffeine free), will have another large mug of tea before night's end.

You can read about it there. I am trying to figure out how to put ing Tablespoons into there, as that is how I measure most of my foods.
I no longer have to watch the fat grams. I have some more studying to do. I will write more about it later, perhaps even in a yada thread or something. Haven't written in my journal since a massive B*tch session over a week ago, I should update that.

Fitday's excellent Aimee, I think you'll like it..sometimes a bit fiddly with the measurements, but I've been using it for about a month (since I joined here) and have pretty well got it figured out now. Not everything has tablespoons..but usually there's a good range of choices.
Sounds like things went well with your meeting and I hope it really works for you!
Take care and have a great night...I'm about to lose my hubby for 4-5 months (forest fire fighting) tomorrow morning so feeling a little sad tonight
hugs,
Linda

Had a pretty good day today. Had to work a couple of hours this morning but later the daughter and I went out to Whole Foods Market and had fun looking around there. Found lots of cool stuff there. They have a section of loose granola that you pay for by the lb and there are various flavors, so my daughter picked Cherry Vanilla Granola (damn tasty too.). We wound up using it in my first ever made (and eaten) parfait(s) (see Dinner below) Anyway, for my day:
5/14/05
17.5 of 26 pts used
Morning: 4pts
2 - 1 stick Kraft Twist-Ums Low-Moisture Part-Skim Mozzarella & Cheddar Cheese String Cheese
2 - 6 oz Yoplait Light Peach Yogurt
Lunch: 5pts
5 - Homemade tacos (4oz very lean meat, 4 small corn tortillas, onion, cilantro, tomato)
Dinner: 8.5pts
4 - 2 Jalepeno Chicken Sausage links
4.5 - Parfait: Layered Blueberries, Strawberries, Orange Cream Yoplait Light yogurt, Organic whipped cream (only 15 cals and no sugar), Vanilla-Cherry Granola
The parfait thing was awesome and my kiddo loved it and wanted more!

Beth - Gratz on the goal!!!
Jill - Broccoli slaw is just the stalks shredded, nothign else is added to it, but it comes prepackaged in the salad bags in the grocery stores down here.
SAPF - I use fitday, it's a very helpful journal guide and it's free Sometimes the conversions aren't there tho, you might want to make "custom" foods for some of those items. That's what I did for the foods I ate alot of.
Linda -
Willow - organic whip cream...hmm...I'm intrigued. How was it?
Yesteday's Report - I did okay on day 2 of the weekend. 1700 calories consume a little over the goal but not bad I cheated yesterday and stepped on the scale, it has me excited about my "official" weigh in on Tuesday. I hope everyone has a great Sunday.

BethC: Well done!
Jillegal: B*tch away with impunity--I can take it! I was in denial of my obesity (I hate that word!) for years and allowed it to be fuelled by friends who thought they were being kind telling me I wasn't that fat. Deep down I knew they were lying to me and I knew I was lying to myself. Nevertheless, I still convinced myself they were right and that I was merely "pleasantly plump". I honestly used to believe if no one saw me eat that huge bag of crisps, it wouldn't count! I really did.
I'm aware of how easily I could slip back into my old ways so I really appreciate your tell-it-how-it-is approach.
Sat 14/05:
Breakfast: Shake made with ¾cup 0% milk, 5 oz banana, dash of vanilla extract .
Lunch: ½ tin Campbell's chili, 2 cups rice.
Dinner: Tuna salad with lite Caesar dressing, 10 olives.
Nibbles throughout the day: 50g Munchies (hubby was supposed to have already eaten them ), 6 oz apple.
Beverages:, 500ml black coffee, 3 litres water.
Total calories: 1406 (not incl. free veggies)

http://65.36.176.89/en/products.asp?lID=79 no longer, Aimee
P.S. - Oh Linda...everytime I think about your hubby being gone for so long I get a bit choked. Will he have visits home during that time? Will he have access to a computer? I guess you'll be burning up the phone lines, too! Well, best keep yourself occupied with the kids and working on giving him a big "loss" surprise when he returns.

Aww Shucks
I was so happy to log in and get all of your congratulations!
Yes, I did get the key chain and on in now is the WW 16-clapping hands (2 of them to signal all of the times that I've spend in WW, but never gotten this far) and the sneaker for exercise.
Next, it's on to onderland for me. Even though I feel great, I still can't help thinking that I have sooo far to go.
Have a good day everyone!

Beth: It's a great psychological boost to reach the goals you set, isn't it? I know it's daunting looking at how much is still left--I groan inwardly thinking about the 98 lbs I need to shift--but concentrating upon intermediate goals definitely makes it seem more achievable. Are you going to reward yourself with a non-food treat to celebrate your success? I think you deserve one.
Sun 15/05:
Breakfast: Shake made with ¾cup 0% milk, 6 oz banana, dash of vanilla extract .
Lunch: 4 thin slices ham on 90g bread, 1 tblsp. FF mayo, green salad.
Dinner: Salmon steak, 4 potato patties, broccoli in cheese sauce.
Nibbles throughout the day: 2 NH peanut granola bars, 50 cal. ice lolly.
Beverages:, 500ml black coffee, 500ml black tea, 3 litres water.
Total calories: 1328 (not incl. free veggies)
