hubby cookin' eggs and turkey sausage, I've got a nice cup of coffee in hand, and about to get ready for church. It's gorgeous here in sunny So Cal! Birds are singing as usual and the sun has been up for hours...still at 161. I'll take that! Have a great day all!!!

[Miss Lynn]

Breakfast = herbal tea, my coffee cup muffin (banana, cocoa pwdr, flax meal, vanilla, cinnamon, honey, diced dried plum, 2 minutes in the micro.

Then I walked 1.5 miles. My current goal is just to walk, no set time or distance, Just Do It!

Lunch = salad of spinach, basil, cucumber, red peppers, hummus. Dressed with lemon and olive oil.

Another short walk, .76 mi

Dinner = Same salad plus tuna

Total Kcal = 1246

Next up, I have a goal of doing at least 10 minutes of some other form of exercise. So I plan to do that and have a positive report for the whole day.

How is everyone doing?

You'll probably drop a ton just by going higher for a day. 1300 seems to be my optimal limit, below that for too long and I don't lose.

Yesterday's weight: 137.4
Today's weight: 137.2

.2 loss.

Hello everyone! So it decided to snow here this morning so no church for me. I actually slept in a lot later than i had planned but my body needed that rest. I was 240.2 this morning. My Hawaii trip is 25 days away and I had a goal of getting to 235 by then. At this point I think it's pretty doable. I just need to stay focused. I'm just having a problem eating all my calories. Yesterday I barely made it over 1000! Who would have thought I would have a problem with not eating enough?!?!?! Hahaha

11 pounds down and the size 8 pants i bought for my daughter's birthday and that were stretched upon me 2 months ago are too big for me now! Going down to size 6?(American size because you guys are somehow weird in your sizes, don't know why. In America i am a small, in Europe a medium. Size 12 is not small here ).....and i am glad all is going well. BUT today i have an issue. Daughter's godmother gave me a lot of chocolate cake for her to eat. And for my husband also. And it is IN the house right now staring me in the face with the whole night coming up looking ominous. This is the FIRST time in 2 months that i will actually try to control myself with having such a trigger in the house. I am not craving it right now. Not at all. I have managed to control myself pretty well against chocolate. But i don't know how i will react to this. A part of me wants to tell my husband to hide it and not to let me know where it is and the other part tells me to try myself out for one evening. To see how i do.

Decided to follow the more daring part.....will tell you tomorrow what i did and i will be very HONEST about it i swear. Wish me control.....

I know how I'd react; I'd go in there and bury my whole freakin' face in that cake and eat my way out to the other side. Up to my ears in frosting, I tell you!

Mine is 500 also. I took one this afternoon, as well as one 5-htp in the morning and one in the afternoon...I can tell a difference in the constant thoughts-food obsessions, which is such a relief! Like I'm looking forward to dinner but not constantly thinking about it and what I can eat between now and then

We’re spending Easter with my husband’s family, and I was looking for something fun / healthy / low-cal to bring. Came up with a recipe for Jell-O / shredded carrot / pineapple salad. I’ll make it sugar-free.

i feel reallyyyyy tired tonight...i can tell my pre-TOM cravings are there but it's NOTHING like the usual....ive had some nibbles of things but nothing like the urges to pig out on everything in sight, which is bad on a normal day and horrid right before TOM...i'm still nibbly tonight and i'm making a grilled pear, instead of diving back into the ice cream...baby steps, i guess lol
