Hi everyone! Just checking in to say I met my first mini-goal, which was 12 lbs by Halloween. Now for the next mini-goal, 12 more by Thanksgiving. I feel like I should treat myself to something. In the past, I would treat to food, but those days are gone. I was thinking a new shirt, but decided to wait until I lost a bit more since I will go down a size soon. So I decided on FUZZY SLIPPERS and just ordered them! Yay! How do ya'll treat if you meet a mini-goal?
Is it me or does your ticker appear backwards? The pumpkin is headed (ideally) for the pitcher...
It does!!! I could not understand why.. but there was no other option. I am pretending the catcher is throwing it back. LOL.
Good catch! Pun totally intended!!!

Forgot to have-eat my breakfast veggies (I now my IP lunch at 6am). Remind me again nutriionally and weight loss why we are eating them??? Is it the extra vitamins? Or only roughage/fiber??
Man, I forgot how hard first week is. Day 2 and I am starving!! I don't even think I tasted my dinner. I was so hungry I just shovelled it in! Can't wait for the days to come where I will realize it is dinner time from the time on the clock rather than my obnoxious stomach screaming at me!!!
Hope you're all doing well. I've missed you all! Have a great day.
150!!!!. Congrats vet that's so HUGE it's mind blowing!!!! Way to go!

I have laid down the law about Halloween in our house -
1. hubby will shop for candy the day of, or hide it in his truck until the day of
2. he will distribute all candy
3. immediately after, he will lock remaining candy in his truck to take to work the next day and give it away
4. no Reese's cups - my favorite!
After more than 100 days, this scares me... Boo!
Great plan!!! Just make a mental point of putting nothing off program in your mouth. Brain and heart time, we've gotta dig deep. My kids will have Halloween candy around for weeks. LE sigh. It's all crap anyways, and I don't like them to have much of it. Perhaps the Halloween fairy will come and trade it in for a toy!!! My sister with a 6 year old diabetic does that, the kids eat all they like for 2 days then it gets set out for the Halloween fairy who brings a toy and takes the candy!!

I've never heard of breakfast veggies. Only noon and supper veggies!

You need everything the veggies have to offer - the fiber (to keep things moving), the nutrients (because we can't get absolutely everything we need from packets and supplements), and the water. You also need to be eating the veggies to retrain your taste buds away from the stuff that made you fat in the first place
Halloween not an issue at my house! The first year I moved there, I opened and got 4 yes FOUR teens... But I'll have to have a talk with my teen who's still trick or treating this year.
Question for you guys: I'm so craving bread right now, it's not even funny. I would probably give my left arm for a nice toasted tomato sandwich... (that is, if I didn't have so much success with this protocol)
Any recipe that is close to bread? (that is not sweet)
You can make flatbreads from the soup packets - mix the packet with 1 egg white, 1/4 tsp baking powder, and enough water to make it into a thick-ish batter. Spread into a circle on a parchment-lined baking sheet with a spatula (I wet the spatula a little which will help keep the batter from sticking to it). Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes, flip and bake another 5-10 minutes until done. I use tomato soup packets to make flatbread and add a teeny bit of Veggie Shreds mozzarella (less than 2 Tbsp) in the last 5 minutes of baking to make a mini pizza
For those that are a 14/16 in pants, what size undies do you wear? I am at a complete loss as to what size to buy. I'm wearing the same size from 50 lbs ago :-/
Thank you. Been doing okay just busy, busy, busy. I forgot to mention the pleasant WI at home this morning brings me to 150#'s lost and now I am 100 from goal. I'd wanted to be under 300 by Halloween, I just did not work the program like I should have so I did not loose much. I hope you all have an awesome Halloween. We carved our pumpkins and have the kids costumes all ready to go!
WOW 150 lbs is amazing and insanely inspirational!!
