Little baby Deward is just over 8 weeks old! I would say he was a cute little thing...but I'm not sure...he kinda resembles....hmmm Cheryl, did you sleep with a frog???? {{{Grins}}} Here in a few weeks he is going to be a cute little bugger.
I'm staying 100% on plan! Hard to believe even for me. Today was day 24 with nothing illegal passing my lips. I am feeling good and my clothes are getting looser. For me, this is the best plan ever, I have no major hunger and the cravings are minimal.
Good for you Gayle 24 days. I have a new plan I am going to try to lose 1 pound a week. I think I won't be so overwhelmed and even if it takes a year I will get where I want to be. Baby Steps!
I order pizza out every night girls...... you wanna know the secret????
I throw away the pizza and eat the box!! LOL! Don't you all get tired of my humor????
Actually, I am eating low carb, low fat, low calorie...Atkins on a diet basically. I tried Atkins a few years ago, but couldn't wrap my mind around eating so much fat and so many calories. I can't believe just within a few days I had no cravings. Once I reach maintenance, I can start adding fruits, WW pasta, rice etc. I know this plan wouldn't work for many, but for me, I'm loving it!
Gayle~your plan sounds a lot like the Kimkin's plan. It's like a low fat version of Atkins. My DH's aunt is doing it and it's working for her, too (but she has way more to lose than you--I'd be surprised if she weighs less than 400).
My plan seems to be working as well. I'm still above ticker weight at 145.5 (I'm going to move my ticker tomorrow to whatever the scale says--I'm sure it will still be up, though). I made it through yesterday without alcohol! That (as you know) is a big hurdle for me. I love my wine! As long as it isn't in the house, I'm fine. There are tons of other liquors in the house and I can leave them alone most of the time.
Allison, I am on about day 28 or so without alcohol or wine. Miracles do happen. I'm like you, I can leave the liquor alone but the wine keeps calling my name. You guessed it, I'm doing ******* too.
Well, my money this week is going for a new windshield replacement. Somehow I ended up with a crack in it. Never fails, there is always something.
Down 2 more pounds today. I will stall for 4-5 days, then drop a pound or two. Must be my body trying to adjust or it just isn't wanting to give up the "fluff" it's use to. LOL!
Thanks Shelley, I'm proud of myself too... this is the first time in forever I have been able to stay on plan...day 26 for me. Most days in the past, I couldn't have even made it until noon.
I have been so off program it isn't funny. I am going to give myself another week and then I am getting serious. School ended this week, so I am finally free! No more tests to grade for a month!! I need the break. I am really burned out this summer.
This coming week, Rob and I are heading to Salem Mass for vacation. Going to go to Boston one day and walk the Freedom Trail. May take a day trip up to Maine, but no real plans.
As I said, as soon as I get home from vacation, I am back on the diet and serious this time. Will be looking for lots of hints!
If it is like a steroid Shelley, then probably so. Do you drink water? Maybe if you up your water, it will help flush some of it from your system. Just a thought.

The warning applies to cans with the following codes:
Consumers who have the products should dispose of them immediately, the FDA said.
Botulism symptoms include dizziness, double vision, difficulty in breathing and abdominal problems. People with those symptoms who may have eaten the recalled green beans should seek immediate medical attention, the FDA said.
