the instant coffee i used was a little strong, and paired with angel food cake instead of lady fingers kind of amplified the taste, so the coffee taste is very very strong, but because the dessert is mostly sugar free pudding + fat free cream cheese + fat free coolwhip, it works for me.
i don't think it tastes exactly like tiramisu, but it is very very good!
it has to chill for several hours, so either make it the night before or in the morning... warning though, it's killer opening the fridge and seeing all that chocolate chip/whipped topping/coffee scented goodness. :P
'Morning, ladies! I hope everyone has a great day today. Big WI tomorrow, eh? I don't know if I am going to hit my goal weight, but that's ok because there is always Saturday, and then Sunday, and then Monday. Never give up!! Patience is something I have really had to learn to embrace while on this journey.
i have to drink another 2 bottles of water before bed (in the next 4 hours, easy peasy) but my calories? i'm only at 1030 for the day! that's after dessert.
dinner was delicious and filling but because it was mostly veggies and rice a full plate of it was only around 350 calories!
i guess that leaves me a little room for a snack before bed.

I had my gyno apointment today. One thing she said was that taking BCP lower your risk of getting ovarian cancer by 75%, which I thought was very interesting, and the preventive sticks with you for about 10 more years after you quit taking them
Hubby was hogging the computer last night so I didn't get to post
Good morning, ladies. I made my goal weight this morning. I even went past it by a pound. If you are interested in reading my story and seeing pictures, please visit this thread: http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/goal...-pictures.html
I'm still going to stay here. I love this thread and wouldn't mind dropping another 5 pounds, but I'm not going to push it. I'm going to focus on being fit and healthy. Big hugs to all of you. You have all helped me during this journey more than you know.
Emme, congratulations! I am so proud of you! what an achievment! I'm glad to hear you are going to stick around and support us!
On the way to work, Hubby had to take April to the vet for her 12 week xrays. She'll be there for most of the day, so its eerily quiet around here. I have an eye doc appointment today. ETA: The dr just called, the surgery part is fine, but April may have a torn ligament in her knee, so she's back to crate rest for a few weeks.
Thurs, 28
B= slice bread with PB
L= Panera Fuji apple salad
S= Choc chip cookies
D= chili, potato salad
E= none
The nice Dr did the surgery on my right {bad} eye. I can't tell you how much better I can see! I didn't realize how bad it had gotten. I go back next Friday to get the other eye done. I'm so excited! The procedure was painless and was over in less than 5 min.
We picked up April afterwards. The vet suggested a few more weeks of crate rest and gave us some pills for her to take.
I have come to confess that things have not been going the best. The last week and a half or so I just have been down and out and I let it get to me. My husband has been gone for over a month now, time is dragging so bad and I just had a big old pity party. I think I've snapped back into focus and I'm regrouping and want to start August off right.
I hope you've all been doing well. Emme, Congratulations on making it to goal! I knew you would make it. =) I'm glad you're going to stick around. You've been a big inspiration and I know we need that around here.
Ok well, I'm not willing to get on the scale tomorrow even though it's my first of the month weighin. I know I'm probably holding onto some fluid plus with all my recent bad choices I know it wont be pretty. I'm going to give myself an extra week and hopefully things will look better then.
I hope you've all had a great weekend, and that August is a great month for all of us.
Sorry I've been MIA for a few days. I haven't been on any crazy binges but I've been very busy and haven't been 100 % on track with my WW plan. This is the week that I'm going to be 100% OP. I'd only lost .2 at my W/I last week. I took the day off on Friday and spent the entire day Friday and Saturday doing some extensive house cleaning. I cleaned out closets and got rid of lots of stuff. I hate clutter so if was time to do something. I could still use a couple more days for cleaning. I still have 2 closets to do and lots of papers to shred.
I will catch up on personals later but....
Emme - I have to say YOU MADE IT!!!! I am so proud of you girl. When I grow up I wanna be like you.
I love this group and I'm glad you will stay with us. You can be our mentor
