jdonato- I look at the grams of sugar on the label first. If it's below 12g. I'm ok w/ it. Then I check for High Fructose Corn syrup, fructose, corn syrup, anything chemically made basically. I will eat artificial sweetners, since it's in some yogurts I like & evaporated cane juice which is what Kashi Brands use. The amount of weight you lose per week is fine, your losing & that's what counts!
Thanks everyone, your all so supportive!
Very hot here, walked anyway for 35min. Had 1176 calories, under limit this time, LOL. Weight was down 7oz. I just counted, this is the 8th day I've actually been eating on plan, it's a miracle! 4 more pounds to go!!
I ate one piece of the banana cake i made, last night. It was too late, I don't eat after dinner at 6pm. I thought I'd see a small gain from it, I was surprised to see a loss. Both the icing & cake were an experiment w/ using substitutions to make it healthier, maybe that's why it didn't cause weight gain & it wasn't processed. I love to cook & bake, so I will be baking my own treats if I want something, at least that way I know what the ingredients are, better than buying and not knowing.
My birthday was yesterday so I did go 500 calories over my daily limit...I love angel food cake. I gave the rest of the cake away today and stayed in calories today but do not expect the scale to like me Friday...
Alright, second post in a day, but I'd just like to say I've UNOFFICIALLY hit GOAL!
I say unofficially because I cheated and weighed today, but I only count Friday weigh days, so we'll see if it sticks! Really really boosted my mood!
That means I've made it for the fourth of July challenge! So, let's hope I can maintain!
Jdon- Ah, okay! I thought when they mentioned oily discharge they meant random oily discharge, not only when you use the toilet. Makes more sense now!
WOOOO!!! You go girl!

Keep it up ladies!
HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY!!! I hope your birthday was wonderful! ~ & I dont know if I coulda given away the rest of the angel food cake! LOL.. youre doing so great keep it up~
Que pasa , chicas? Im not gonna spend too much time complaining about how this stupid scale wont budge, because to be honest, I could be doing so much better... like I said, not working has really put a halt on my weight loss.. Im no where near my challenge goal, & there's only 2 weeks left.. Im about to start kicking up the exercises, & cut down on the sugar & sodium for the next few days.. Id love to see at least 2 more lbs come off... Id be happy with that at least until I start working again!~!~ Well Im gonna end it here, goodnight sweetie pies~~~
This morning I weighed in at 137.0. Just one day at a time, and I'm not going to give up for the life of me!
Emme: Sorry to hear about the water weight. It will pass, just drink lots of water and watch sodium.
PHAT: I'm very happy for you, and don't worry about the scale. You have made life changes and things are about to start becoming amazing for you! Good luck on your new job
k15g15: Happy belated Birthday!
fruitlady: thanks for the advice! Looks like you are doing amazing!
Corinne: I'm sorry to be graphic again, but I want you to fully understand as well as everyone on here. I have read that some people experienced ramdom "oil discharge" and uncontrollable bowl movements. I have been lucky, and most of those people ate very fatty meals when taking and didn't follow the program. When I started my Alli, I first took a weekend to deprogram my body, I followed the diet before taking the pills to prepare me and then when I took my pills I was able to be near a rest room just in case. I had great results and no issues, but everyone is different. If you do decide to take it, prepare for it ahead of time so you won't have any bad experiences. And way to go on your goal!
AriesNV: Welcome
Ekicna: You can do it! keep it up you are doing amazing
well ladies I have to get going back to work. I will check in later. Have a great day
Thanks ladies! I don't know why I get lower in the middle of the day than I do when I first wake up. I've been holding off on weighing in until 9-10am just so my weight will be accurate. Yesterday morning, I got 110.8, yesterday afternoon, I got 110.2 after eating breakfast. I completely forgot to do cardio since DH came home earlier than expected and was ready for sleep as soon as he walked in.
Emme, jdonato, you ladies are so close to your goals! Keep pushing ahead!
Walked 32min in the heat, calories were 1592! It was a stupid mistake that caused me to go over limit, I was dipping strawberries in Fat Free Cool Whip, when I was done I added them up. I'm 392 over cause of it, that's crazy. It wasn't even worth it, i don't like it that much. Mindless munching is what it was! I made sure I was on plan the rest of the day, 1500's are my maintenance range, so hope i don't see a gain. Weight stayed the same, that's ok. Can't expect a loss everyday.
Good morning chicks!!!
I'm still living in my calorie range. I walked on the treadmill but only did 20 minutes because I started to get dizzy. No sure what that was about because I had eaten dinner shortly before. So I will weigh in on Monday to see where my weight is and I'm hoping for a couple more pounds. I'm finally getting close to ONEderland. I'm hoping by next weekend I will be able to dance the ONEderland jig!!
Fruitlady - I so understand the mindless munching. I think that is another reason I was stuck for 6 months. But we live and learn and keep moving. Ekicna - I wish I was lighter later. If I weigh in the afternoon I weigh 2-3 pounds more. JD - Keep going girlie and you will get there. Emme - At least you know where it's coming from. P H A T - Keep your head up and you will get there. If you find that you have had a meal that has a lot of salt wait a little while and eat something that is high in potassium. I was told that potassium eats away at the sodium.
The weekend is here so let's have some fun in the sun or in the house if it's raining!!

Blech, no loss this week. Up 1.8 since last Friday. How some people feel about their TOM is how I feel about ovulation. No fun. Hope everyone has a good Friday. I'm off today and I am going to help my husband build a second level to the deck, so that should keep me busy.
Good morning! I am now officially at goal! Actually, a little under at 119.6. I'm a little shocked, it's such an odd feeling!
Thank you all for the congrats! I couldn't have done this without you ladies!
I'm going to start upping my calories today- myplate says that in order to lose 1 pound a week (get down to 115, perhaps) I need to eat 1611 calories- which seems odd, but I'll try it out! I'd be happy to maintain between that and 1800 calories.
Emme- I've heard of people gaining around ovulation. The only symptom I experience during that time (besides the, ehem, more graphic symptoms) is mittelschmerz. Good thing you can attribute the gain! Have fun building!!
Jiggle- WOO-HOO! Onederland is so close! You got this! Odd about getting dizzy- maybe you needed more water? Have a great weekend!
Fruit- I just bought some strawberries from a local farm and cannot wait to eat them! They are seriously the best strawberries I've ever tasted- and I make strawberry shortcake with them every year for my mother. Soooo good! I will definitely be going over cals! At least you chose a healthy snack to go over cals with! You're doing great!
Ekicna- That is fantastic!!!
Jdon- I don't mind the graphics- always good to know what to expect! Thank you for the info! And thanks! You are doing so well, keep pushing!
Phat- I love your positivity! Keep going! You're doing great!
K15- HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY! I think birthday's are a perfect reason to go over calories!!
Yay!! That is awesome!! 
I'm very happy for you, and don't worry about the scale. You have made life changes and things are about to start becoming amazing for you! Good luck on your new job 
Hope everyone has a good Friday. I'm off today and I am going to help my husband build a second level to the deck, so that should keep me busy. 
How awesome!!
