Good morning!

Today as my weigh-in day and I'm down 2 pounds! That puts me at 4 away from being in the 160's! I never thought in a MILLION years I'd see that!!

'mornin everyone!

to the new folks, RubyRed, Soon to be slim and Kofarq

WOW, this thread is really expanding in membership...ooops, wrong choice of words...er....growing, yeah, that's it, growing in membership. Someone has to tell the gov't that whatever they're doing to make us Canucks aware of the need to be healthier, it's working Pretty soon, we will qualify for our own 'real' sub-forum.

Meowee, it's too bad you didn't have a nice warm sunny day for meandering the market.

ETA: Hali, according to www.drugs.com/celexa.html, Celexa is also an SSRI. Apparently, very few antidepressants are the MAOI type. I know that I didn't have that 'high as a kite' reaction when I combined my decongestant and my Effexor. It is only a decongestant, tho', not a combination antihistamine/decongestant and it is the only such one on the market of which I'm aware (and it's hard to find). Things like Nyquil, Contac, etc. are all combinations of decongestants and antihistamines. Some antihistamines conk you out, others can really 'perk you up', so that may have been it.

Tammy, there are several folks from QC, and I'm just across the river I was born in QC, I used to live in Pte-Claire, and our cottage/future retirement place is in QC, so I have always considered myself a Quebecer (<== why does that spelling not look right?)

We used to get WW stuff in the stores here, but I haven't looked for any for some time...I recall I used to eat their fudgsicles. They weren't bad.

Saw my doc for my BP...he has added a diuretic to my meds, and explained that regardless of what I'm doing for my health now, my BP will go up 'cause I'm getting older...I swear, my warranty ran out the second I hit 40.

Yesterday, I saw a 225.something number for the first time, and that was before I took the new diuretic meds. Since my Mother's Day goal is 225, looks like I may just squeak by there...I am staying off the scales 'til Sunday morning, tho'

Have a great day, everyone!

Hi Kofarq, my son lives in CBN. We're out that way a few times a year at least.

Great job on reaching your goal. Just take it easy on the food until Sunday morning.

It's chilly here today and still somewhat overcast. It looks like we might get rain but no drops yet. We haven't had rain in nearly 3 weeks and could use some (but not on the days I jog!). Tomorrow I weigh in and I hope I have at least a little result to "make my day." I haven't been off plan with either eating or exercising all week but that matters naught when the body decides to hang on to that extra insulation for another few days. Tomorrow I'm going to have an old-fashioned on plan Newfoundland cooked dinner (well as traditional as a vegetarian version can be), sit and relax and do not much at all. See you all tomorrow.

Im down about 9 lbs ( i think..having some scale discrepancies) since i began my 'life changes" (drinking lots of H2O, exercising daily, eating fruits & veggies) and im so excited! Its looking like my goal is actually attainable!- as long as another baby doesnt come along this summer!! lol
Rubyred- Great job!
Daffy- good job om your goal!
Isabella- yup...getting stuck in the mud together is pretty funny...usually AFTER the fact....

So have a great weekend to you all!

Hello Ladies!!

Busy day for me... son had his first dentist appointment, he was awesome! I went for my weigh-in this afternoon and I'm down to 245, was 244 in the morning on my scale but I don't usually count it. I lost 5 lbs this week, I'm a champ!! LOL

I see we have a few more awesome losses the last few days, congrats to all, keep up the good work!!

Anyway, off to post my exercise for today and then maybe play a little pogo before I hit the sack. I'll be back in the morning.

Take Care

Talking

mornin', everyone.

Well, it seems everyone is losing to some extent or another this week, and that's great. The way I look at it, any week without a gain is a good week.

Retired, I'm curious...how does one do a traditional Nfld dinner, vegetarian-style? Do you replace the fish with tofu?

So, I was not able to stay off the scales this morning. They wavered between 225.0 and 225.2, but settled on 225. So I made my Mother's Day Challenge, and more importantly, I have now officially lost that healthy 10% of my starting weight.

We've got grey and gloomy here, again. DS saw a Great Blue Heron flying over the house this AM, headed for the city. Probably going to try to get some sun at a tanning salon, poor guy. We got a few warm sunny days a few weeks back and it's been like fall ever since. I think we've been getting all your rain, Retired.

Have a great day, everyone!

I didn't do a fish dinner. I made what we call a "cooked" dinner or "jigs dinner" down this way. I had potato, turnip, carrots, greens (I did beet greens but the usual would be cabbage or turnip greens), peas pudding (Cooked yellow split peas, traditionally done in a pudding bag lowered into the boiling dinner, but I boiled mine in a small pot.), and a vegetarian "meat" pattie made with nuts and other ingredients, and lots of gravy. A traditional dinner would have a big hunk of salt beef or pork and a roast of fresh beef, chicken or turkey. All the vegetables and puddings are cooked in the same pot as the salt meat and everything is salty and very well cooked. I like to do my vegetables separate and of course my dinner is not as salty either. Some people boil a plain or onion or raisin or blueberry pudding or do a "pastry" (which is sort of like a biscuit) to go along with dinner. The plain or onion pudding or pastry is served with the dinner and usually a good serving of gravy. A blueberry or raisin pudding would be served as dessert.

I haven't found a good substitute for fish but I'm not opposed to experimenting and eating until I find something I like.

Anyway, dinner was delicious and I only ate one serving of everything, including a cupcake and a piece of chocolate cake filled with whipped topping and strawberries (1/24th of an 8-inch cake). I still have a few calories left over for a very light supper so I'm still on plan. The cupcake and cake were planned for my treat day. BTW, I lost 2 pounds when I weighed this morning so a light supper it will be. But I'm guessing next week will be low weight loss week as I seem to go that way after a bigger loss. This means I've lost 18 pounds since January 2 (8 of those since I joined 3FC).

Good Morning . . . and HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY . . . Even if you don't have any 'real' kids, I bet you "mother" something.

So have a great day, doing fun stuff, and I will see you later.

morning, all! Happy Mom's Day to us all...

Retired, congrats on the shed pounds. I used to play hockey with a bunch of girls from Nfld...I'd heard of jiggs dinner, but not details...sounds yummy, but with the potential for lots of calories if done really traditionally. I'd never heard of peas pudding...sounds interesting; I may just try that one of these days.

DS and I woke up early (for a Sunday) to bright sunshine. We made our Sunday special brekkie (scrambled eggs/low-fat egg substitute mix, bacon, and home-made fresh fruit smoothie) then took the dog for an off-leash ramble through the park and ravine nearby...a great start to a beautiful day.

Have a great one, everybody
