CAP -- Congrats on joining WW. Let us know how it goes. I am having a hard time with summer. It's SO hot here and that means ice pops, ice cream, etc. CRAZY HEAT here in the DC area. At least we have power back now. We were almost 3 full days without power last week after the crazy storm. I will try my best to catch up on the threads in the next few days. |

Ishbel, lol at operation slim cat.... I've been there... cat's don't forget when you diminish their food supply. You may want to sleep with one eye open. lol Good luck with kitty slimming. Sunnymae... Welcome back, congrats on your loss while traveling, and please accept my condolences. Sounds like you have some wonderful summer plans to focus on. If I could be granted one wish, it would be the ability to sing well. Capricious - you have helped so many here, I hope you will continue to check in and to let us know how merging the two programs works for you. I'm so new to maintenance that I rely on people like you, who are willing to share their experiences and trials. namaste, my friend Pxl... Hope the heat breaks for you! It's unbelievable this summer... kinda makes you wonder about the power of nature with all of the storms and weather phenomena recently. I've been traveling a lot recently, only arrived home late this afternoon and will head out in the morning for another week - this time camping. I'm mostly eating P2 ish, but wine has been an almost daily visitor, and I've been adding in more carbs, while still keeping a close eye on portion size and really working on keeping lots of veggies in the mix. It's more difficult than I anticipated! Most restaurants do not offer veggies that aren't drenched in butter or sugar, and if they do, I find the serving size is 1/2 cup, maybe. It never occurred to me "before" but boy am I noticing it now! I hope to have wifi next week, so will check in more often. I really missed this site! |

I'm sweltering down here in Va. while teaching outdoors, and had to break down and start drinking endless amounts of gatorade to keep from passing out. I tried salt along with tons of water, but only the gatorade replenished my electrolytes. So...I will see how that affects the weight. My priority, though, is avoiding heat stroke! I'll keep y'all posted. |
Good luck with the heat everyone..We are getting blasted also and I find that my motivation gets weak in the hottest part of the day..I don't even want to cook anything.
Pixl: It was good to hear from you. I can't imagine being stuck in that heat with no power. It must have been awful. Wuv2bloved: You look gorgeous and have done so well losing 169 pounds! Busymom: Nice to have a cheat day with no gain! Dakin: I found the same thing while traveling and eating out...you are lucky if you get even half a cup of vegetables. Sunnymae: Teaching outdoors in that heat sounds hard. Are you teaching golf? I am going to look for new recipes today. Lately I find I am tired of my old favorites..The hardest part is finding new vegetable dishes..but I am searching. Staying within my 3 pound range. |

Morning. Still can't figure out how to post pictures...I guess my engineering degree is for naught!
It's interesting to see that I am not the only one with the fears of sudden weight gain. Sigh Dh birthday today and he wanted Chinese again last nigh. It was good, but I should revert to phase 1 today...another sigh. I find as long as I get back on track by Monday things are good. Strange-I don't miss pasta rice potatoes carrots etc. |
Pixlkitty your photos have inspired me. You have had a great change!

It's funny how honest a photo can keep you... I noticed just the other day the "muffin top" in a 4th July photo. I was so disgusted... I still fit into size 6/8 pants, but my smaller ones are tight and I hate that feeling. I REFUSE to buy bigger clothes, so it's time to get serious. |
A couple weeks of serious phase 1 can make all the difference...
|
Pixl: I wish you luck. I have the same thought..I refuse to buy anymore clothes in a larger size. You have done this before, you can get back on track and do it! My weakest time is 3-6. Hope your nights go well. I just tried Good Earth Sweet and Spicy tea. You might try it.
Momto2cs. I am joining you in Phase 1 ing it for the day..up from indulging yesterday in Greek Food. I agree with the sigh. Hope you do well today. |

hello old crew...I too have been MIA for awhile...MIA...in VEGAS for 12 days...needless to say I can't even imagine what the scale would say....today starts 10 days of phase 3ish (no phase 1...I don't want ketosis). I ate pizza, bugers, Italian at Rao's, chinese...so much yummy food...huevos rancheros (2X)...not good not good not good...also too many yummy drinks. I did take 2 days in the middle to hike at Zion National Park and I ate well there and drank a ton of water. Well...here is hoping that my good behavior the next week makes up for that awful naughty behavior. Chin up everyone...this is a lifelong war. My 6's do not fit (but they only did for a few weeks right after I reached my lowest), but still plugging along in the 8's (tighter than I want). Keep smiling and loving life gang |

eggs/meat breakfast salad meat lunch meat veggie dinner with fiber one bars for snack or fruit and nuts or greek yogurt what is your plan? Not trying to lose weight....I am up about 10 pounds (of the 83), but it is easier to maintain that weight so I am going to try to just maintain for a year without trying to get smaller....but up a few more from Vegas so need to drop those (not sure how many...giving a week before I hit scale..need to lose the bloat). good luck |
I like the thoughts. Chin up all.
I love phase 1 and ketosis. I feel best that way. Needless to say the weekend was bad, including popcorn at magic mike. So not me. Lots of wine, very me! Plus dh birthday! |
