My lowest was 146 somewhere around June 1. Today I am at 154. Last week was 151. TOM this week, hope that is the culprit for the 3 pounds that appeared today. With Deb's help I discovered that the medicine I am taking has the side-effect of slowing metabolism. GREAT! 
But I have been OP like a good little girl. I do think that I may not been eating enough and that I may still be eating too much fat. I am still running, ran 4 miles tonight. But you'd never know it to see the scales. I can tell that I've gained slightly in some of my clothes too. But I am NOT throwing in the towel! I am not going to give up!! 
I was pretty good while I was away, but so sick of eating 4 meals of chicken nuggets in 3 days that I think I've grown a beak! I only had one nibble, a quarter-sized piece of the bride's and groom's cake. I like the My Story idea. Could it be part of the bio board rather than a seperate board? You have peeked my interest about dairy products. Perhaps I need to consider that a culprit due to the fat.
This is what has worked for me for the 11 months that I have been on SB... I view it as poison, because that is what it does to my body, poisons it! I also try to get rid of it that night! It is a little easier for me than people with children who come in the door with a big ol' bag full. I have an idea for those of you who feel that you will be too tempted to eat the candy you give away, but still want to participate in "Trick or Treating." Give away those cheap plastic spider rings or pencils with a theme like sports or Barbie on them. You can get really good deals on these at Oriental Trading Company (link for rings) $4.00 plus shipping for 144 rings!! That's cheaper than candy and the kids love this stuff! Our town also has a unique holiday celebration. We have fireworks on Halloween and I take whatever treats I have left and get rid of them there. Hope that is helpful.

You're only as old as you feel! Hope you have a wonderful day. 
since I've taken swimming, but I think I did pretty good. I actually surprised myself that I could do as much as I did! Frog Lover , 10-04-2001 06:56 AM
Here's my deal...and I think those of you struggling (or that have made it through) with trying to lose MANY pounds (+100) will understand: Oh well, it will come. I had a great interview yesterday. I’m so tickled – it’s a company atmosphere very similar to what I had at my last job. Everyone there seemed to be in their 20’s and 30’s – a very young looking company and they mentioned several times that their name stands for CHANGE and that it’s the place where you can be innovative and put your ideas into action. They like trying new things that make the company money and/or more productive. I also would be getting a laptop if I got hired. I LOVE laptops! Best thing is they are going to make a decision THIS WEEK – so I won’t have to wait forever to find out. I had applied for another position at the company also, but hadn’t heard from that HR contact my application went to. I told the supervisor and director I interviewed with and the girl who would be my supervisor said, “Well, we called you first!” That sounds good, right? Maybe next time. She’s very nice. I’ll post the recipes today in case you want to check them out. I’m looking for those recipes using the tahini, too. I love the hummus, but haven’t ventured into the falafal ring yet. I should buy some mix or get my fingers moving to find one of those recipes. They were so bad for so long that it was a joke hoping they would win, but we have ALWAYS enjoyed the games and the fellowship before and after. I vividly remember many many ESPN sports broadcasters talking about how much fun they have at MSU home games. (I think everyone brings them plates of food from their parties.) They REALLY like baseball at MSU and you always see news people en masse in the Left Field Lounge when we’re on TV. My parents have 3 – count ‘em THREE sets of season tickets to MSU games. Tickets for the Left Field Lounge trailer they have with friends. Tickets for the grandstand. Tickets for the skybox seats. They can sit anywhere they want and frequently visit each spot during a game. I go to The Fitness Coach pretty much every other day. I do my weight training there, but walk in the neighborhood here. The weather has been so nice that it’s been a joy to walk outside as the sun is coming up. When it was really hot and when it gets really cold out I’ll probably go back to the TM. ) Meister was actually born and raised here in O-Town. In fact his parents live on a dirt road that used to be in the middle of thousands of acres of orange groves that are now apartment complexes and gated communities (Metro West). It’s funny driving down this totally urban road and off to the side, tucked away is this little gravel road with houses that are 40-50 years old that you KNOW used to be in the middle of nowhere. His uncle went to school at USC and Vince was going to major in aerospace engineering so that’s why he went there. WHY OH WHY ARE SO MANY GOOD SHOWS ON TONIGHT!?!?! I can't wait to find out who the daddy is on Friends, but I am also VERY addicted to Survivor and CSI. We're going to try the show that comes on after CSI one more time - it wasn't all that impressive last week. Alias on Sundays looks like it's going to be a good one. 
Have a great day everyone!!
