I will wear these a little longer before buying new ones....these are 24's and the shorts I wear are 22's....lol....the jeans aren't loose enough in the waist yet....so I can still get away with wearing them. I got them on clearance for $10 so I am not loosing too much money when i go down a size. Maybe I will go shopping over the weekend to see if I can find some clearance ones....lol |

$10 is a great deal and hopefully you will find some great deals if you go shopping this weekend! |
Hi all!
Good Friday do far! I have done a circuit workout at the gym and enjoyed my blueberry pudding muffins! Yum! I try to have a salad of baby romaine every day. It helps keep me full in the afternoon. I have had the opposite bra issue. I went from a good 36c to a small 34 b. sigh. Clothes wise my loss from 175 to 150 took me from a 10 to a 6. I have the exact same gap pants in 10,8,6 and 4. The 4s only fit when I am at my low of 145...trying to get back there!!! |

Ah, bathroom time.
We are not taking in as much fiber as we did before (grains, etc.) so things may not move as they used to. Veggies help but I find that mixing things around helps more. I was experiencing some of the Big C early on when I was only eating cooked veggies (roasted with olive oil). Because I was not a big veggie eater before I was not ready for lots of raw and steamed veggies. Too dull. And I like warm foods, especially at dinner. I noticed a change after my Big Mac in a Bowl. It is a fattier meat. (Prior, we had been eating grilled lean meats.) And, there was a lot of lettuce in it. I can't eat this often. No more than once a week or so. It triggers cravings in me like Mio and other things do for others. But, I found switching it up from leaner grilled meats and cooked veggies really helped. I started drizzling some Flax Seed Oil, to get my Omega 3's, on my spinach and that seemed to help too. (Cannot heat up Flax Seed Oil - low smoking point) I feel it was the oil, a teaspoon or two, which is different from when I added it to cooked foods (roasted veggies and meat prep) that made a difference. Without getting too gross, in my mind, this translated to lubing the pipes so to speak. Olive oil can work as well. I am new to this and just experimenting but some things seem to work better than others. The occasional higher fat veggie stir fry's and using ground meats (higher in fat) and use of direct oil on veggies or salad seem to aid in movement over items that are leaner, drier and have the oil cooked into them. I have not found the perfect combo since I don't eat the same things everyday. And for me I seem to need to change things up a bit. Logically, I thought lean grilled meats with roasted or steamed veggies would work but it does not always work. But, too many days in a row of stir frys and big macs in a bowl did not work either. I seem to need the combo, the changes, the variety in my diet. But, that is just me. My personality is like that as well. So, within a period of 2-3 days I try to get in a few meals each of raw, cooked or steamed veggies with or without lettuce, spinach etc. I also try to get in some lean grilled or slightly fattier meat or stir frys in. |

Lisa- great photo of the the old and the new! |
I think I would like some dancing carrots or broccoli or something. Does anyone know how I add that to my signature? The 1 for each 5 pounds lost. Thank you.

Happy Friday everyone! This is my two week anniversary and I feel great. I am happy I started and happy I have stayed on. I am really starting to feel some energy return, I don't know if it is from the vitamins or loosing 13 pounds but I really do feel good!

I went to Cato today just for fun to try on some pants, just to see. The last time I bought clothes from there I was trying on a comfortable 16, and a pretty tight 14. Well can I tell you how excited I was to not only put on a 12 BUT BUTTON AND ZIP THEM TOO!! now granted, if you would have asked me to sit down I probably would have died! BUT, the point it, I GOT THEM ON! It was just that little extra umph I needed! Well that and all of you guys support and encouragement! When my mind strays to dreams of foods that arent OP or I get a little 'Blah', I always come to this website and read or write a message. I like to think of this place as "my world" because people around me, they just DON'T GET IT! So, as I have said many times before, and will say many times again, Thanks Everyone! And keep up the good work and KEEP TELLING US YOUR STORIES! It lets me know - I am not alone!
