I can't believe it !
just for the heck of I did another weight in today. Well I almost fell off the scale..I got on and off 3 times making the poor machine Dizzy.
I am down another 2 lbs.. that is 5 1/2 lbs in 6 days. Now I am not a new dieter so I am sure this is NOT water weight... HURRAY>>>>>>>> 45lbs GONE FOREVER...... |
Wow, Renita! That is awesome. I am doing my official weigh in tomorrow. But, I start my period tomorrow...so, I'm worried about the water weight.
|
I feel your pain...
I know what you feel like Melissa... when I know I have not been off plan for a few days.. I just don't weight in as it makes me discouraged when nothing happens... so I avoid it for a few more days and then hopefully get a wonderful surprise...
|
I'm hoping tomorrow is a big surprise. I don't feel "thinner."

Drumroll, please!!!!
Today was weigh-in and I'm down 1.4 from last week!!! :woohoo: :carrot: :jig: :cb: :dancer: :encore: :cheer3: :cheer2: :cheer: :broc: :yay: I've lost a total of 38.6 pounds (23.6 pounds of that on BistroMD over these past 28 weeks). Again, I'm not a fast loser by any stretch and I'm doing a very modified plan, but I'm VERY happy with these results and know I've hit on a lifestyle that makes me FIT and HEALTHY!! :carrot: Quote:

Yes, I've modified the "system" so much that it does require a lot of thinking and a lot of discipline, but that's not to say that there aren't some days when I just go on "auto pilot" and do exactly what BistroMD tells me to do. ;) It's nice to have that structure, too. Quote:

I swear, y'all make that stuffed chicken with apples and cherries sound SO GOOD that I've thought about calling BistroMD and asking them to throw that one in my next box, just to let me try it (even though I'm sure it's not gluten-free, if it's stuffed with breadcrumbs... but sometimes I'll endure the "bad" in order to have something really wonderful ;) heh, heh). LOL Must be REALLY good, huh? ;) Quote:

I love this group!! :hug: :grouphug: Yay, us!!! |
Grace, congrats on your loss. I'm watching the game on Saturday...Saturday will be a free day. Not meal...I'm going to eat my head off and drink beer. I cannot wait. I'm always worried when we are posted as No. 1...though....
I'll weigh in tomorrow, I changed my day to Fridays..... |
Renita - :bravo: That is wonderful!!!. Now if anyone asks, I betcha you'll tell them YES, it is worth the money!!!! Gotta love this thing...eating great food, feeling great AND losing weight.
GRACE - Way to go wild woman :cheers: Yep, we're gonna have to start calling you Alice soon. I am so proud of you, but not at all jealous :nose: Seriously, that is a great morale boost for all of us. Thanks!!! Melissa - I had all my parts pulled a few years ago, so I don't have any excuse, and I'm gonna be suprised if I dropped any this week. So even if you plateau this week, you'll be doing great with having all of your plumbing intact. I figure that Renita and Grace have held up the team this week with their kick butt performance!! OK, food update. If you order (from wherever) try the double bites chips. They're great. Also I had the chicken Satay for the first time today and thought I'd gone to heaven. I LOVE Asian and Indian food. My favorite Thai dish is shrimp or chicken masaman (sp?). The sauce on the satay was very similar to the masaman sauce. If you added a little more coconut milk to it, sprinkled cashews on it, and served a pot of rice on the side, it would have been awfully close. Even before I was dieting, that was a treat for me. I can't believe that it is something that is actually part of the plan. And it was a lunch for crying out loud! Oh, I almost forgot. I had the Jambalaya yesterday. I thought "yeah, another soup". Was I ever wrong. That stuff was great. Yeah, I love this food -Kathy |

Good LORDY this gas is killing me. I want my parts pulled.

Just a P.S. about the MyHealthManagement site. I love them!! When I placed my order, there was a place to include comments, so I asked them to remove the oatmeal if it had any artificial sweeteners.
They wrote back within minutes and said that it had a very small amount and they were taking it off the order. I told them they could feel free to just substitute $9.95 worth of Kays products instead of refunding me, and again they wrote back within minutes saying it was no problem, and they would only bill me for the other items. Wow. I'm really impressed by the customer service. Since I'm the one who keeps grumbling about things with BMD, I thought I'd show you that I'm not just a complete grouch!! Thanks again for the info. |
Question for you veteran Bistro Md'ers......
I track my intake on Spark people and I noticed that I am not adding many fruit options . Are you all adding some fruit to your menu's or following the plan as written? My calorie intake is low so there really is room to add some.... also do you all add some milk or milk products ?
Also got my lovely box yesterday, one day early, and the menu sent doesn't look much like the food I received.. I got a box of cocoa with 4 bags..as well as the great snacks. Do I add the cocoa to the breakfasts that have those sweet rolls that are really low in calories ???:?: I am a little confused.. No instructions came in this package so I hate to call them for that but will if you all suggest I do so Thx .........Renita |
Weigh in
Down 1lb for a total of 39.:D. I may not be setting any speed records, but I'll take it.
-Kathy |
Good JOB Kathy......
...Kathy..Great week.. down 1 lbs is a victory for you...
Nothing feels quite so good as when you step on that darn scale and the numbers MOVE ON DOWN>>>:dancer::cheer: Renita |
Renita, just a quick check in, The Hot chocolate goes with each breakfast. I drink it at night, though...cause I'm hungry.
|
The hot chocolate is supposed to go with breakfast, but I agree with Melissa. For me, it's perfect for late evening. I've always been a late nite snack person (which is one of the reasons I'm here) but this stuff knocks the edge right off for me.
OK, my big Friday nite news...when you get old, weird things thrill you on a Friday nite...I just bought a freezer for my pantry. I'm into edible landscaping. Last fall, I planted blueberries, Asian pears, japanese persimmons (both astringent and non-astringent) and figs in my front yard. This spring I put in raspberries. I didn't let anything bear their first year except the raspberries. I put out 3 different kinds of raspberries (2 red, 1 gold), 4-5 plants each thinking that I'd lose some but noooo, they're going nuts. I'd been planning on getting a small upright freezer so I could freeze the raspberries, blueberries and astringent persimmons. The asian pears keep well in cold storage (I have a basement) so that means I could not only have killer fruit during the summer, but all winter long as well. I'm thinking about throwing out some strawberries as ground cover in the beds so I have something in the spring. OK, I digress. Anyhow, since I'm going to have more raspberries than I need to pick and eat off the bush this fall, I decided to go on and get a freezer so I could have raspberries with my oatmeal all winter. Also, if I collect a backlog of Bistro food, no problem. There are a few recommendations I have from this whole thing. Lowe's had the best price on freezers (even better than Sam's). They will deliver in 24 hours. They charge you for delivery, but give you a rebate to get it back (i.e. free delivery) Fruit trees - JustFruitsandExotics.com They're outside of Tallahasse FL. You can mail order from them or buy them on site. It's much more expensive to mail order, but they have big, healthy excellent plants with a huge selection. Although their main focus is what grows in FL, being in north Alabama, I was looking for hardy Japanese persimmons and happened upon them. Timing was everything, because I had already planned a vacation on St. George Island (45 minutes away) the end of November, which is perfect planting time for us. BTW, I vacationed with one of my great danes. So I came home with Face's bed sitting in the middle of a jungle in the back of my Element. These guys not only have wonderful plants, they give great follow-on support as well. They really love what they do. Raspberries - Florida doesn't do raspberries (too hot) so I got them from NourseFarms.com. Again, the plant were exceptional, as was their service. If you've ever thought about doing raspberries, a suggestion. Get the everbearing ones. In late fall/winter when they quit producing, you mow them down to the ground. and they start all over again in the spring (no having to prune, etc). Like I've said before, I'm lazy. You notice I picked stuff that you typically don't have to spray. Sorry, didn't mean to turn this into a gardening thread, but the freezer, Bistro food, fresh fruit thing just has me cranked right now. -Kathy |
