I have been picking up a few things for phase 3 too. Bought some turkey bacon and stuck it in the freezer, bought some peanut butter, still bought lots of zuchinni, bell peppers, asparagus, my standard romaine lettuce and more Walden Farms products. These are just part of my future too.

Happy Thanksgiving friends! Hubby and I up just as early as always so we got things going. He made 20 cinnamon rolls and is mad I won't have one. :) I am sipping my coffee and enjoying the peace and quiet before the kids come down and his family is all here.

I was down 0.6 this morning at 153.8. I saw 153.2 last weekend so I am bummed but happy with any loss at this point I guess. I was also down another 1/2 inch in my bust. (The last place I want it to come from. ;))

I didn't get my lemon water like usual last night and I was shopping til 8:30 so I threw a couple eggs in a pan when I got home and skipped veggies since I was just tired and wanting to sit.

Come on big number next week. Even if it just starts with a 1!

Happy Thanksgiving!
:happ3::turkey::thanks2:

4 pounds, just 4 pounds, please be gone you meezely 4 pounds. They are going to be gone in the next week or I am changing my goal to 154!!! LOL


Lynsey, it will go down if you are patient. I am just so tired of paying big money when I could have saved this money for Christmas and travel expenses. I am mad at myself for slowing down the weight loss, but it is what it is.

Happy Thanksgiving to the US friends.

I used to use a ton of walden farms products- literally bought the Asian dressing a chipolte ranch by the six pack regularly. Anymore, I do not like the taste of any of them. Think I over did it.

Don't be silly- look at the Christmas present you have given yourself! You have done really great. If you had not done the plan, you would be 50 pounds or more heavier and you cannot put a price on how great 50 pounds LESS feels! Way to go! You have done awesome!and 154 is probably a great weight for you if you feel good.

Good Friday morning everyone! We went out of town for Thanksgiving and got back late last night. Drum roll:::: I was absolutely perfectly OP all day and night and saw 152 on the scale this morning. I could have eaten a cashew cookie but just said it's not worth it , I am too close to goal to quit now. I felt really good in my size 9 red corduroy jeans with a cute top and got lots of compliments. My sis in law made sure there was a lot of everything I needed to stay OP. It was a good day.

Good morning all and what a happy day! I said I wouldn't be on the computer but I just had to log on and share my bliss. I don't think, in all my years of eating grapefruit, that I have ever tasted one better than what I had this morning. Every bite was a mummmm. Looking forward to the other half tomorrow morning.

Life is good!

Sounds delish, CAT, maybe I'll be eating one next week.

that does sound good... I wish we got fresh grapefruit, may have to look in the store this weekend... Have a great date tomorrow night... are you getting excited?

Way to go Sandy you can do this... see now just 2 more... Compliments are great and having family that understands what you can and can't eat is so helpful.

Good morning everyone, I had a great night last night, got home took my 2 dogs and my friend's 2 dogs and off we went to the offleash for a quick walk before supper... those little dogs are a lot of work, I really like how maintenance free my dogs are... one (a ****z tzui) doesn't listen to me and when I call her runs the other way..Have learned to leash her before she gets out of the car. and her other one tends to run across the busy road if not leashed... glad I have mine, they listen really well. Then ran home and prepared roasted veg and steak for supper, my friend arrived just as the steak was getting done, gave her instructions to cook the veg a little longer and out the door with my 2 girls for agility... My red dog and I are taking classes and I made her run as she hasn't been getting a lot of exercise with the little dogs being at my place... so while she ran so did I it is great to run even just short distances, and I took a jump and what does she do? goes around the one I jumped... made my instructor laugh anyway. am trying to get my girl to run faster so we can qualify she needs one more qualifying run to get her Masters title so I am a little excited about that...

Tomorrow is my fun day. Haven't really decided what I am going to do, but going to have my meal at lunch for the treat... maybe poboy catfish and sweetpotato fries.. then baskin robins peanut butter and chocolate ice cream for dessert... but we will see if I change my mind... tonight it will be enchilladas the IP way.

Have a great weekend everyone... and those of you that are shopping good luck.

Joanne, is this the recipe you use for your enchiladas? I found it on the recipes#2 sticky. I think I could use my turkey leftovers instead of chicken.

Enchiladas
Ok, so not "real" enchiladas....but a pretty good use of similar ingredients.

EVOO
Chix breasts sliced into strips
clove of garlic
sea salt
taco seasoning (make own)
g. pepper
asparagus
eggplant (speared)- I might leave these out next time....
g. onions
mushrooms
green chili sauce (I found some with only 1 carb)
romaine leaves

saute chix until no longer pink, add seasonings then add veggies. at end, add just enough green chili sauce to add a little flavor. let cool slightly before loading up the leaves...they roll nicely! it was awfully yummy!

That one does look good, I was just going to make it up as I go...

I have corn tortillas to use up. so I soak them in a picante sauce. Brown meat (chicken, turkey beef) add my own seasonings to make a taco spice. (paparika, chili powder, salt pepper etc) put a little water in and simmer away. meantime cut up tomatoes, peppers, onions etc. add to meat and then put enchilada on a plate put a little meat combo on it roll it up and put in a baking dish, continue with this until meat is gone or tortillas are. Pour the picante sauce over top and if you are allowed cheese sprinkle a little over top and bake for about 30 min at 350. That gives me time to get the animals fed and not standing at my feet looking up at me with those feeed me eyes.

also I got a recipe off of all recipes for Edamole (edamame guacamole) that I will put on top when out of the oven with homemade salsa.

Yours sound good too! So basically whatever vegetables you want to use up!

yes anything to make up the 2 cups... which isn't too hard. I also add the canned chipotle peppers sometimes, if you like it spicy... won't this time as I have been spicing my friend out so I will make a mild version tonight... Looking forward to trying the edamole to see how it tastes.

I enjoyed my enchiladas tonight. I was careful adding the chili powder, it was alittle spicy but not bad. I tried to roll it up in my romaine leaves but it was so messy that I just made it into a salad! I used yellow pepper, asparagus, and broccoli for my veggies.
