About the (0)(0) ... my cup size has remained the same, only the band size has increased with my weight. I'm hoping that with weight loss I'll just reverse the process.

I'm feeling a little self-conscious about my shaker bottle at the office -- I don't want to deal with other people's opinions (the few that would notice and the fewer that would say anything) about what I'm eating I was thinking of making pudding at home then bringing it a container to work.

Maybe a dumb question: How well do packets keep after mixing, (refrigerated or cooled of course)?

And you're welcome for the little creamer cup things info. My head is a plethora of useless knowledge. For instance, in the U.S. it is illegal to walk your cow down Main St. after noon on Sunday. Personally, this just ruins my whole Sunday. :devil:

Does anyone know how much milk (like oz or ml) are in the really small plastic cup that are given in restaurant, you know when you say ''yeah, I'll take 2 cream in my coffee please''. I don't know the name of this little plastic thing in english, and I can't find it anywhere :( :( :(

Don't worry about people and the shaker. Don't explain your diet. If they ask what it is... a protein drink, a snack, etc. NO ONE is owed an explanation of or an inclusion to your diet habits. Even Dr Tran on his website talks about "comments" and he says there are 3 things that shouldn't be discussed, politics, religion, and diets! :)

If you make up the drinks, puddings, jello ahead and keep them cold, really cold, you will be fine. I remember someone who used to make and freeze hers then they would defrost in time for her to drink them.

I personally, make mine up anywhere - movies, restaurants, starbucks... nothing is off limits.

I usually just tell them I am having a supplement.. why? it makes me feel better and helps my diet.



TOO funny! Arizona has an archaic law that states you can't eat ice cream outside during the summer. ???? when else do you want ice cream?



Hey Sandy!

There are several individual or mini creamers out there.

Are you talking this type?

They are .38 oz each

OR, is one of these types?

these can vary from 2oz to 6oz or more but I assume you aren't asking about the large ones.

the image on this page is of something commonly seen in restaurants and is 120ml or roughly 4.5 oz.

If people at the office mention the shaker, tell them your online friends said to eff off. Then they'll just think your crazy, and will forget about the shaker :dizzy:

Thank you both for the suggestions. All this talk of boobs and creamers. When I looked at the images, all I could think of was "Jugs". Too bad there isn't a tag for "slightly vulgar."

During this past week my Taylor "body fat" scale said I lost 10 pounds over night. Three days later I gained 18+. Did you hear the scream? What kind of scale do you have? Since my coach is on another island I need to do the weigh-in myself and I'd really like some semblance to reality. Sheeze.

Evening everyone,

Some of you had some huge milestones while I have been absent, congrats to everyone :)

As for me, we had our cake testing tonight and OMG (enough said) I have been doing the alternate plan and have stayed the same for three weeks so starting tomorrow Im back to phase 1 for atleast two weeks and hoping for some big numbers and then back to the alternate plan to maintain the weight loss til after the wedding. Im stuck at 75 pounds lost and I said I wanted to lose 80 by the wedding, with 67 days until the big day Im now hoping to hit 100 pounds gone..we shall see. :) (the dress designer who happened to be in ottawa when I went to try on the sample, was there and said I shouldnt lose more then one more dress size because my new dress may not alter well as it is already big and she doesnt want me to mess with the shape and fit of the dress..) so I am torn on what to do..

anyways....congrats to everyone and to those of us who have fallen off the wagon tomorrow is a new day with no mistakes or cheats in it.

Im off for a run, I need to wear off this huge fondant and red velvet cake high..I may have to run for miles to get this out of my system..it was sooo worth it though :) I hope I didnt go into too much detail as I dont want anyone to be mad that I posted this :(


Have a wonderful evening everyone..
