Hi everyone
Bonnie2009:
you know, I felt like I couldn’t have the same control the others had at first either. There is something sooo motivating about posting your successes and flops, though. Give it a try!
Diana: congrats on the new low!
The weight’s really moving now, isn’t it.
LindseyLou: Glad you’re dropping that weight again.
I’ve tried using cinnamon, too, usually with yogurt for a midmorning snack. I think it helps.
Vixsin: Thanks. I’m so far behind on personals. It’s taking me forever to catch up.
Shells: sorry to hear that you’re all sick
Congrats on the new low.
LaurenA: I’ve found that I lose the most weight, and keep it off, if I go higher than the recommended calories. If I stick with the recommended amounts, I feel like I’m starving, and that triggers a eating fest (that’s spelled b-i-n-g-e).
Now, and please don’t hate me folks, but I seem to have a naturally high metabolism, so I seem to need more calories than most. Hey, are you going to post pictures of you in the dress after the wedding?
Berry: Sounds like for a whole weekend of houseguests, you exercised admirable control!
Perfection isn’t the goal, consistency is. Ugh, too bad about the taco salad.
I love the stuff, too, but sodium has that same effect on me. Those skorts are so cute, and you could choose whatever length is most flattering to you. They probably look better than you think!
Rachel2Writer: Hi
Surfergirl: congrats on so many on-plan days! It might take time, but sooner or later it’ll show up on the scale.

K9: I could sooo use some sunshine!
BTW, are you a nurse? I think you said so a couple of threads back. About low calories snacks: this isn’t really low calorie, but it really helps take the edge off of hunger pangs. Eat about 100 calories worth of walnuts, that’s about seven halves. That’s a Dr. Oz idea, and it really works!
Congrats on the on-plan day yesterday.
Diana3271: 90 degrees? Oh, what I would give to feel warm again!
It’s about 32 degrees here, and there’s this weird rain-snow mix falling. Brrr. Thanks for sharing your weight loss story. You’re so inspirational.
Thank goodness for that endocrinologist. Thanks for your kind words about the job, too.
Pint: sounds like you’re getting back on track really well.
Great working out! Too bad about the mudpie breakfast!!!
Larry: I’m sooo glad you’re doing well.
One of my favorite dishes is to put a tilapia fillet in the middle of a big square of foil. I top it with pesto that’s been seasoned with lemon juice and hot sauce. Then on top of that I put a selection of veggies, maybe butternut squash chunks, tomatoes, and green beans. Then I top the whole thing with more seasoned pesto, wrap it up, and bake it at about 375, until the veggies are crisp-tender, and the fish is cooked. I hope you enjoy it!
StaceyGee:
and congrats on the whoosh.
Your friend is so lucky to have you
– the food sounds delicious.
Zoodoo: ditto on the snow! About the scale – someone I know once said, “It happens. Scales can be weird like that. It’ll come off again in no time.”
Dimples: I was wondering what had happened to you! I’m so glad you’re safe. A tornado 100 yards away is a little too close!
Novel: would be nice if those pills would tame TOM. You deserve a pat on the back for sticking to the run when your body didn’t want to.
Working out is not so hard when your body feels good; it’s doing it when the bod says “No” that really shows what you’re made of.
Love2be150: hope it continues to go down

Have to finish tracking and do a workout tonight. C U later.
Thank You!!
Mrs. Dash's dressings/marinades have NO sodium.
Pretty scary! Sitting up: 100/78 Not AS bad, but still low to be taking BP meds....of course, these BP's are WITH meds (I took my meds this morning before work). So yeah, I'm thinkin' I may need to schedule that Dr appt now before I completely pass out and scare somebody to death.
