Thanks for making me DishyFishy. My sentiments exactly! Glad to hear you are doing better.

Good food day, even better exercise day, and reduced my stress by asking for and getting a new boss. I'm exhausted!!!

Thanks to all who post here. It is a real blessing. DCM

Welcome, jawsmom, as we say here "The more the merrier"! You've got some pretty impressive stats to motivate us!

Glad you had a better day, stress-wise, exercise-wise and boss-wise, Denise!

I'll let the double-thread thing go this time, Apryl, but you really must pay more attention in future! So, how'd your weigh-in go? Enquiring minds want to know!

Glad to see you're back on track today, Young Jilly, and ecstatic to learn there's no peanut butter left in the house!

So the rule here is that you're allowed to have a free day on your birthday, Alpha-Laura, but then its back to business (in other words, you can't have your cake and eat it too!)

Glad you're enjoying my autumn veggie recipe, my Dishy friend. I'm still going the salad route while the weather's warm, but will make a batch of autumn veggie's in a couple of weeks for Thanksgiving (I can avoid over-indulging in turkey and stuffing if I load my plate with roasted veggies).

I don't know why people are avoiding my thread

Perhaps it's because we'e been naughty? *hangs head in shame*

Also, you called the other Jill "young Jilly"--so inquiring minds want to know. AHem. What does that make you?

Queen Jilly..

You know I love you to bits, Jilly

Have not been posting here much but I'm doing pretty good these past couple weeks. I hope to see a loss Friday. I decided not to have a treat night until after the 1st of the year. Holidays will be the exception maybe. Anyway since I did not have a treat night I found myself being a little free with my calories each day over the past 4 days. I looked back and it came to 575 calories that I am over for the past 4 days. So today I made that up by only eating 1180. So now I am 45 to the good for the week. I really hope this pays off. I really want to make it to goal for my surgery. I'm not doing it just because I want to look good anymore it's a need to thing now. I want to be as thin as possible by January. I figure my goal of 245 is a good weight to shoot for by then. So anyway I think maybe I'll start coming back to this thread again.

Breakfast
kashi w/blueberries/skim milk

Lunch
Turkey wrap with low fat cheese and spinach

Snack
apple
banana

Dinner
Tuna
tomato
cucumbers

Snack
Veggie soup
ice cream

Ahem...SAPF, "Queen Jilly" will do quite nicely (merci beaucoup Linda), or I will accept Jilly the Elder if I must, but don't even attempt any "Jilly the old bag" nonsense!

We'd love to see you back posting here Howie! Understand totally about wanting to get to goal for reasons other than appearance ~ I know you're not looking forward to surgery but going into it in the best shape you possibly can has to benefit you in the long run and really help recovery. You know we're all rooting for you!

Stayed under 1700 calories yesterday, which would have been fine if I hadn't had so many the day before. Here's what I had:

• instant oatmeal (peaches 'n cream flavor, reduced-sugar, made with water)
• wrap (grilled chicken, lettuce, swiss cheese, and honey mustard on a spinach tortilla)
• tomato soup with a few croutons in it (the sign said "cream of tomato," but it wasn't very creamy, and it had carrots, onions, and other non-identifiable vegetable chunks in it, so I guess it was more like a vegetable soup with a tomato-based broth?)
• reduced-fat chocolate milk

So yeah, that all doesn't sound like much, but it added up fast--brought me to about 1650 calories for the day according to my Fitday So much for thinking I could get a sensible lunch in the cafeteria at work...

As for today:

• instant oatmeal (peaches 'n cream flavor, reduced-sugar, made with water)
• 2 big links of turkey sausage with honey mustard (MY honey mustard from home, not the super-creamy honey mustard dressing like I had yesterday that was packed with fat and calories!)
• instant oatmeal (banana bread flavor, Weight Control, made with water)

I already had one Coke Zero and have another in the fridge for later--time to get crackin' on the water!

Hi everyone, I haven't worked out since the race on Sunday. Monday, I was still a little sore and I didn't want to do anything to hurt my knee. Yesterday, I was just too tired. Today I'm meeting my trainer at the gym, so I have no excuses...

Also, I have on a new outfit, it's a sweater shell with a strechy tank underneath. If I were brave enough to take off the sweater, you can really see how small my waist is getting - I may have to stroll by PT later... I'm also currently wearing Leopard print Manolos, though those may not last long depending on my knee.

Here's my food from yesterday...

2 - coffee
1 - egg whites
3 - luna bar
5 - zone bar
2 - coffee
5 - pork
0 - salad
2 - pita
5 - a handful of french fries
26 points - at target

Have a great day everyone!
