I'm wondering whether or not it's ok to marinade beef/pork/chicken, etc. in a concoction that includes olive oil, (low salt) soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, worcestershire sauce, dijon-style prepared mustard, diced onion, minced garlic, and black pepper? My dinner sirloin steak has been marinating for hours in this mixture, in readiness for grilling later tonight. It suddenly occurred to me that maybe I shouldn't be using a marinade that includes olive oil? I'm going to use a George Foreman grill, that does squeeze most of the fat out... Any thoughts?
BTW ... I had to break away from my constant preoccupation with the forum this afternoon, as I needed to finish my taxes. (I swear I'm addicted to this place... I can spend hours just reading everybody's posts and going back in the stickies, recipe files, etc.) Major procrastinator here. LOL Did my taxes online this year, and got them submitted about an hour ago. Happy to see I've got a nice refund coming. Should receive it in just about the right time for some lower-size new clothes shopping!
Since we have so many newbies (and even some of us oldies), can you add a link to your video to your signature along with the link to your story? I think people need to be able to access your video easily for that extra boost of encouragement you provide.
Thanks sooooo much for being there for all of us.

Sure I can do that, what I will do is post a link to my youtube channel and y'all can subscribe to it so that when I post a new video you will be alerted

Now my mind is racing thinking about what I did wrong or what I should do different. I am really disappointed. I have been 100% on program. The only thing I can think of is perhaps skimping on my vegetables here and there....but not really.
I had a 12:15 WI so I did not eat until I got home : (
Sorry for the Debbie-Downer.....I will work through this.http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/imag...s/confused.gif
I am with Dana, you have loss 15lbs in 2 weeks....what are you expecting??.....what are you going to do when you loss a pound???....you really need to THINK about this disappointment thing....why on earth are you disappointed??? some people NEVER lose 2lbs and you loss 2.6...BE HAPPY about that!...follow the program 100% as you have and it WILL come off, your body has to adjust....BELIEVE IN YOURSELF and the PROGRAM...don't DOUBT either!
[COLOR="Blue"][COLOR="Blue"]Whoa!!!! I have just been dealt some "tough love" by Wuv!!!! It's okay, you are right. I did not expect to lose a lot, but I kinda did want 3. So, I will attempt to settle down, and let the pounds peel off as they may!!!!! Heard you loud and clear
This is bizarre: Today has been absolutely normal at home, aside from some minor stress and a tiny bit of running around, and for some reason I am absolutely STARVING. I had the IP chocolate shake for breakfast for the first time, every other day has been Atkins still, using IP as snack or dessert. I was STARVING, so I ate a salad with my 2 cups of veggies, and my IP meal replacement bar, had another bar like 2 hours ago, and am hungry, YET AGAIN! It is seriously driving me nutty. It is TOM for me just started today so maybe that has something to do with it? But I am totally not digging' it
I never post on the daily chats but I am super excited today!!!! I have been so nervous to go clothes shopping because if things didn't fit I was scared I would get depressed and upset.... but I forced myself to go because I am defending my thesis and needed something business casual. I found the most perfect dress! And it fit very nicely! And I had to get one 2 sizes smaller than the first one I tried on!!!!!
I feel confident in it and am ready to give my presentation in style!
Woot!
That's awesome. Congrats and good luck with your presentation
OMG I am sooooo tired and beat up & sore all over. Today in preperation of the shower next week, I set up 3 tents in my yard, opened the pool, powerwashed tables & chairs. After that I was starving and so tired I didnt want to cook. I threw some pre made bubba burgers on the grill for DH & kids. I caouldnt have one because they are loaded with fat so I just had tuna & spinach. I really dont love tuna without the mayo, so it was'nt an enjoyable dinner, it was just to feed the body. WOW has my thinking changed. before I woulda wolfed down one of those fatty burgers.. ( if not 2).
Anyhow, just wanted to pop in and say hi. I really need to soak in a hot bath.
KMC- I am so glad to see you here.. are you feeling better?
LOL this might be super silly.... i have managed to figure out what all the other abbreviations mean but I am stumped on DH. I get it is something about husbands.... but what does that D stand for????
Good Sunday morning everyone today I celebrate not only my 60th Birthday but almost 15 pounds lighter. Yea!!!!! It is going to be a little tough as I know there is a cake (carrot one of my favourites), hope I stay strong don't want to undo all that I have done so far. I hope that everyone has a great IP day. Will jump back on later this evening to read how everyone is doing.
Happy Birthday!

I had so much fun.
Congrats on the shopping!

Went clothes shopping today with my birthday money from my DH, was excited when the usual size 2x was too big. I am now in a X, that is the smallest size in the store. I guess next time I will be shopping in the regular department stores, it made my birthday even more special. Thank you everyone for all the birthday wishes, and I didn't have a piece of cake after all.:
just wondering....I ran out of lemon juice for my salad dressing. Do you think it would hurt to substitute lime juice??
Hi Darralyn, I don't think there's any problem with substituting lime for lemon juice if you've ran out. BTW, I've read your posts today but haven't yet responded - so.... Welcome to the forum. I hope you hang out here often. As you're already finding out, it's a fantastic place for support and advice.
Did my taxes online this year, and got them submitted about an hour ago. Happy to see I've got a nice refund coming. Should receive it in just about the right time for some lower-size new clothes shopping! 
<just sayin>
