goodmorning everyone
Great to come in and read all your news.
jaya, I hope that both you and your daughter are feeling better. Regarding the "biggest loser" and amount of exercise they do on the ranch, I did a search once and supposedly they workout 3-4 hrs. per week, I read that they do 2 hrs. of cardio and 1 hr. of strenth training. I also read that they have a lot of injuries. Don't forget that they have professionals and medical staff on hand. Also, I have no idea how accurate this information is...I merely scratched the surface with the research and have no idea of its validity. Keep up the great work Jaya and enjoy your vaca with your daughter
.
Lewis, hope you enjoyed your 2 day vaca. Good luck with the WI today.
Ladyinflux, good luck as well and wtg on the working out girls.
Msperception, wtg on getting back on track! Keep on rocking it
windchime, congrats on seeing that loss and on going on the elliptical, etc. Keep at it, one day at a time
As far as having a full tummy and still wanting something after, oh yesssssss, that happens to me sometimes too! I will feel like having something...like a treat of sorts. I have my sugar free fudgeicles and low fat sugar free vanilla and choc. swirl puddings as snacks if I feel like having something choc. on occasion. IT really works and takes and satisfies that inkling. Nowwwwww then, I didn't grab one last night!!!! I went into the V day chocolates! lol yeah! Great reason right there why I typically ONLY have my allowable treats in the house. I can tell your working hard, keep it up
.
Koshinogi, wtg on being op. I have a few back up plans incase I don't feel like cooking, i.e, some low-fat frozen entrees or picking up a roast chicken at the supermarket (which I just love). That dinner you whipped up last night sounds yummy. Regarding the treadmill, go for it girl! IT's a super investment
.
Christian, wb yet once again sweety
. I felt so bad when I read about your pup but am so happy that he is okay n ow......thank goodness! Ty for the warnings christie. I am glad that your daughter is healing and that things are settling there.
Hattie, thanks for the kind words my lady. When I was younger and lost all the extra weight i was carrying at the time and hit my ideal, I got all sorts of reactions. I used to say everything too, how much weight i lost, how I was working out, yadda yadda yadda. Well sure, I was thrilled and proud of my hard work. I looked pretty darn good back then if I say so myself and I think a few certain indiv. may of been a bit jealous...telling me I was exercising too much and various things i wont go into. I also got certain reactions I was not so thrilled with...I think others may sometimes be hurtful in ways they may not realize at all. Anyhow, to make a long story short......I know who to reveal what to and who not too, lol. I confide in my immediate family which is extremely supportive of me and reveal weight lost etc. to my folks and DH but that's it!! well to you girls of course too, we are all understanding of our plight here and sensitive to one anothers feelings. Geez, I got off on a tangent here. Anyways, you are so rocking it Hattie and aslo have helped and are helping to inspire me!
You keep rocking it chicky and knock em to the floor darling!
msperception, go girl, go!
As for me girls, my official WI is this Saturday so I am working hard to see another loss this week. It has been going very well all week except for yesterday where I went out for a rich late lunch (but made it dinner too to compromise) though I snacked on a big no-no last night. We went to the boat show yesterday and I got a little exercise there crawling up and down the boats and walking around but after getting home from that rich late lunch I worked out a bit in the early evening in hopes of spiking my metabolism a bit. I went to bed early and slept well and nowwwwwwww tis a new day and I have lot's to do and a lot of working out to do so I must be logging off. My plan for today is a lot of water, my proteins...ex. etc. Hope you all have a super day, let's keep on rocking it.
that is AWESOME....I wish I could see where I lost my 10 pounds..lol...I know it came from somewhere.
There is no I can't ..... you CAN and you WILL....... 
Still op though I have been a little naughty with some choccies hehe 
Way to go!!!
