Sorry I've been so absent, but with the party and my oldest starting Kindergarten and then the supposed hurricane that didn't even drop any rain, it has been kind of crazy around here.
Rocki: Wow! You are one hottie! Congrats on your weight loss. Have fun on your trips. I'm so envious - I've always wanted to go to NYC.
Meemo: I'm super proud of you for re-enrolling.
shenanigan: Tell your friends & co-workers. I didn't at first & as I look back, it was really kind of stressful for me hiding it. So, you're trying something new & need their support. If they're your true friends, they'll support you even if this is your 1,000th diet! Look out for feeders who will tell you you don't need to lose weight. Let us know how WI goes.
All: I'm still feeling down about the low WI on Monday. I think I'll go in Friday or Saturday (usually, I only WI once a week).
Summer is ending & the garden fresh tomatoes will be gone. I eat at my desk so if anyone has any quick lunch meals, please let me know. I checked the recipe thread & found a few but am looking for more.

Thanks for the encouragement. I guess I want to be successful before I tell them. that way if I fail, they will not know! How silly!
But with all of you as my support system, I will not fail!
It may take me a bit longer, but I need to get over that immediate gratification issue I have!
I am up 1/2 pound a WI. UGH! N on can figure out why I am not losing. She said the one shot of vodka and the few fritos at the football game would not be that big of a deal. I should be losing. So she told me to try the Metaquick. I will start that tomorrow for two or three days.
Then I asked about the long times in between meals. She said I need to eat 1 hour after waking and I cannot go w/o and HNS that long. She told me to try just having a fiber fill in the mid-morning in order to save my "sweet treat HNS" for dessert. I'll keep ya posted!
Hi all i had a question? I am almost out of all my supplements and i am debating which ones to keep...can i get everyones in put please, which herbs/vit do you all swear by? Thanks in advance for the help also i used to order my corti trim from i herb but they no longer sell it any idea where else i can find it?
I am going to WI and meet with the counselor this afternoon. I will specifically ask about the eating within 1 hour of waking. Honestly, i didn't do that the first two weeks. I started once I read it here.
OK, not sure anyone wants the long story on this, so I will go with the short one. (I know, thats what she said)
It's important to eat ASAP after waking, because your metabolism has basically shut/slowed down after a long nights sleep. When you eat, your body will 'fire up the engines' again, and your metabolism will get back to normal. (glycogen stores in muscle/depletion, etc, etc, blah blah blah)
The longer your wait, the more your body goes into starvation mode, and slows down the metabolism. (body holds onto fat for dear life/extra cals converted to fat)
(The one exception, which is NOT totally agreed upon by everyone, is that its ok to hold off on breakfast for a short time, IF you are going to excercise right when you wake up.)

i don't like telling anyone that i am on a diet...i have failed at so many diets, so many times....at work, i feel like they are saying in their mind..."how long will this one last."....i just want to be successful and people start seeing results....and say...are you losing weight?
