Had WI this evening. Miracles do happen, down 2#! One more and say good buy to 180s! This I can do. My COD seems to have run out of employees. Every time I go in there is the same overworked chunky (yeah chunky) woman. I have not had to sit down and discuss my menus or get the hard sell in weeks. I do not need her help I have you all.
After TO the last two days I feel very full today. In fact I have one more starch and a lite to go and I am not sure I have room. :cb:
I have been walking and doing my yoga class I feel great! T

Day 2 of TO went well for me. I go to the COD tomorrow so we'll see if it did any good. Even if I didn't lose it will help to keep me focused and really, that's what I needed badly!! So now I'm refocused and ready to kick some serious butt and make my goal!!!

Morning ladies! Hope everyone survived their TOs. I didn't lose anything yesterday but I'm sure it will pick up again. Hope everyone has a POP weekend.

Thanks, Patsy
 

Sorry - just realized that I addressed this post to "Patsy" instead of Pastrey and can't change the heading of the post. I was so excited to read your post I typed too fast. LOL

I have been buying the Knudsen's Juice and adding the FiberSure when I do the FF. I will take your COD's advice and do it every two weeks. It really helps me take the edge off any cravings beause of all the holiday goodies that seem to be EVERYWHERE. :)

Thanks
Roberta

Hi guys!
Glad you feel great Tuesday!
Lauire doesn't it feel good to be on top and in control of what your eating! Congrats!
WI today down .2 ugh. I guess I shouldn't be dissapointed but I want to lose faster ya know? Anyway. I guess I am down and that is good at least I am not gaining. I really hope I can reach my goal of 10 lbs by the Jan 1st.
Hope everyone has a great day!
Cecilia

Cecil - you're right. It's amazing but I really do feel much better when I'm more careful and observant about what I eat. Funny how I never noticed how cruddy I felt when I was eating crap all the time. But now that I don't eat it or even just eat something not quite OP I can really tell. Just think I went month and months, possibly years, of feeling crappy when I could have been feeling great like I do now. And it's all due to paying attention to me and my body. Guess you could call this my "lightbulb moment".

Laurie, when did you start LA? Just wondering because we started at the same weight. Just curious how long it took you? What is your secret?

I started May 25, 2007. I really haven't done anything special other than stay on plan most of the time. I admit there have been times when that's been the furthest thing from my mind. I love McRibs from McDonalds and they have them here right now. Boy is it ever tempting to swing by there when I'm out Christmas shopping!!!

I think I am going to join in. I finally hit my Thanksgiving goal today - well close enough. I am going to say I'm in for 7 pounds.

Laurie, You made a great observation concerning how we feel crappy when we eat junk. We are what we eat and it does show in our personalities and physical well being. I hate to think that I might have become a breakfast sandwich! But I had for a while.
The same feeling happened to me years ago when I finally quit smoking for good. I had spent so much time sick, swollen tonsils, sore throat, coughing, my skin looked like crud, but I did not even realize how horrid I had become until a year later when I realized how great I felt.
Not too unlike coming off TO. I hate the restrictions of the Plan but TO make the Plan seem so liberal!

Roberta - it is okay, my name is actually Patsy :) Pastrey was a nickname I got in high school because some of my friends couldn't spell my name correctly. It started off as Pasty...but they thought Pastrey sounded much nicer *lol*

I actually love fast forward. Only time I feel really good while on LAWL. I am normally forcing myself to eat. I find it to be a lot of food. Even though we are allowed unlimited protein and veggies, I tend to stick with eating the same amounts I normally do. I just really love the no starch those two days :)

Hi gals! Had an awesome weigh in this morning. Down another 1.8 for a total loss of 3.6 this week. I am now 240.2, I was really shooting for 239, but I'll take what I can get this week!

Patsy - You love no starches? I'll trade you my veggies for your starches :)

Yeah Kimberly!! :carrot: You'll be in the 30's in no time!
