LA Weight Loss #66
 
Happy Monday!!!

I am Tab 04-07-2003 09:27 AM

Hello Everyone....What a icky day. It is raining and cold here in the Washington, DC area. Just a day when I could have stayed in bed. I have a slight sinus infections so my head feels as if it weighs 100lbs by it's self so I could have slept all day.

Well I had a very very good weigh in on Saturday. I still can't believe it but I was down 4.8lbs. I have not had a weight loss in over two weeks due to TOM so maybe now that it is over and done some of the water weight is gone. I weigh in again tonight so we will see how it goes. I was soo excited on Saturday. As usual I weighed in on Saturday morning before I had anything to eat and right after my workout...soooo tonight will be the true test. And to be honest I did so well this weekend with my eating. One because I was busy and two because I don't feel so well I didn't feel like eating. So actually I have not ate enough this weekend...I wonder how the scale will be tonight.

I am struggling here at work today. It is very quite in our office and I just should have stayed home...but I am such a dedicated worker *smile* that I hate to call in sick on Mondays. You can believe that if I feel this way tomorrow morning...I will be home in bed.

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. I will check back in later.

Kitkat3NY 04-07-2003 09:43 AM

Thanks for the new thread Tab.

Congrats on your weightloss!

Today is day 2 of the take-off drink. I didn't have a bad day yesterday but i'm feeling so weak today. I know it will all be worth it by tomorrow.

Hi Kitkat3NY...Just think only one more day. You can do this.

I went to center on Thursday to purchase the 3 day and they would not sell it to me. Told me to stick to plan for 2 weeks and if I don't drop any weight then they would recommend me going on the 3day. But to my surprise I lost some weight on Saturday. I am happy with the weight loss I will surprised to see what scale says tonight.

What days do you weigh in? Do you weigh 3x a week?

Kimbova 04-07-2003 10:03 AM

Good Morning Ladies
 
Monday is always a hard day for me but I thank God for allowing me to see another day! The weather makes it even harder; I'm in the Washington DC area to.

Well, I had a very good Tues-Sat., really felt well about myself. I still haven't weighed but I could tell in my clothes that I had come down some. I did eat too much on yesterday, I cooked dinner for my hubbie and the fried potatoes that he wanted were just too much for me to resist. I was hoping he wanted rice, rice doesn't move me but potatoes do. So that sent me into food frenzy and I want everything I could get my hands on. I finally just went up stairs to get control.

Anyway, today is a new day and I started my morning with a workout and hopefully will end it with another workout. Anyway, I'm tired this morning, day light savings time is kicking my and I’m so off schedule.

Tab-congrats on the WL!!! What a good way to start the weekend. I went to the gym around the way Fri & Sat, I took my niece with me and she loved it. She's still sore after working out for 45 minutes. She's young & lazy like most teenagers; she doesn't want to hurt herself in anyway. She was funny, but fun to be around. I'm going to try and make it to the gym tonight. Don't worry about weigh-in tonight; you'll do just fine. I sure hope you feel better as the day proceeds.

Well, happy healthy eating today to all!

I am Tab 04-07-2003 10:17 AM

Kimbo...Thanks!! It was a good Saturday. After seeing the loss it was easy to turn away the temptations.

Sounds like you and your niece had a good time. Me and my aunt went to a concert Friday night at the MCI center and then we did yoga on Sunday. I like working out with her. She is like my second mom. So I am sure you and your niece have the same bond. Plus, it is always nice to have someone with you when you are at the gym.

Since I haven't been feeling too well my eating has been kinda off. I just haven't wanted to eat. Yesterday all I had was a cereal bar and a apple until dinner. And I really didn't want dinner but I knew I had to eat. Sometimes not eating is worse than eating everything in sight. I don't want to slow my metabolism when it seems to be working *smile*

I have a kick boxing class at noon and I am hoping that my head clears up enough and I have the energy. And tonight at 5:30 I have a spinning class. So I hope to have enough energy maybe the daylight savings time and the sinus stuff is messing with me today. I hope so. I hate to miss a workout. I get all funky when that happens. I am sure you understand what I mean.

Well have a great day!

Kimbova 04-07-2003 11:24 AM

Tab--Yes, I do know what you mean about missing workouts! But you really sound like you're not feeling well. Are you sure you should be working out twice today?

If you're feeling weak, then maybe you should listen to your body. I push myself also but sometimes my body says no and I do try and listen because I know injury is right around the corner, and that could put me out of commission for a long time and I don't want that, and I know you don't either.

I'm so use to working out on my own that it's really been nice having someone to workout with. I didn't know how lonely it was until I went back on my own again. But that won't stop me, I'll exercise if I'm in there by myself. I just enjoy how it makes me feel.

Well, it's after 11 AM already and I'm excited about that, the day seams to be moving along quickly. I must get in the bed early tonight cause it really affects my workout and my morning.

So far so good after a bad day yesterday, I can do it! I can do it! I can do it! I know I can!

Sharon44 04-07-2003 04:10 PM

Lost
 
Hi Tab,Kitkat,Kimbova,


Weighed in today after my 3 day and lost 3 1/4 pounds.
Thought I would lose more, but I think the first time maybe I didn't
eat as much beef. Should have eaten more chicken and fish.

Kimbova 04-07-2003 04:50 PM

Congrats Sharon, a loss is a loss and we're thankful for the small ones that add into bigger one's!

Stay encourage.

I am Tab 04-08-2003 09:16 AM

Good morning everyone!!

Well I weighed in last night and to be honest I was not shocked at what I saw on the scale. I was up 1.2lbs but that is fine. I know it is just because I weighed later in the day....and they do tell you that you weigh less in the mornings....sooo I am only 5lbs away from my goal....I have 4 more weight loss weeks until I go on stabilization.

Sharon...Kimbo is right a loss is a loss. Any loss is good so you should be excited. You are making progress and that is what counts.

Kitkat....How did the 3 day go? Waiting to hear your results.

Kimbo....We are both right on target with the working out. I just love to exercise. And I too prefer to have someone with me but that is not always possible. Since you put your weeks on hold are you still eating on plan but just not going to center to weigh in.

Well everyone have a great day and I will check back in later.

Sharon44 04-08-2003 09:32 AM

Good Morning

Tab,
Only 5 lbs to goal. That is great.
Yes, I know even a .1 loss is a big deal. Last year when I did the 3 day I lost 7 3/4 lbs and I guess that is where I thought I would be again.
Now I do remember I did not use the juice last year on the first time, I ate oranges instead. A while last I had used the juice and did not do as good then either.
Think I will do the oranges if I do the 3 day again.
Looks like a few new things since last time. Has anyone tried the biscotti, the shakes in a milk container? We are suppose to get the carmel bars for the first time here. I know they were suppose to be out last year but had problems with them.
Hi KitKat and Kim,
How are you doing today?
Looks like a storm brewing here in Tennessee. Talked to my Mom yesterday and looks like they got a snow storm. They had an ice storm this past weekend. Any of you in the same situation?
Does everyone weigh in 3 times a week? I live 25 miles from my center. I think I kinda got burned out last year with driving so far everyother day. I am going to try my best to do exercises I really like and walk on my treadmill.
I get prevention magazine and they have a workout each magazine, so maybe I can look and workout my own routine.

Kitkat3NY 04-08-2003 09:53 AM

Hi everyone!

I am singing in the rain here in NYC (literally) anyhoo, i'm happy to announce that I lost 4# in the 2-day take off. I'm so happy I really needed to see a quick weightloss to get me back on track. Just seeing the results on my body and on the scale makes it easier for me to refuse those delicious cookies here at work.

Tab- only 5# to go for you goal? That is wonderful news! I'm so happy for you! Why didn't the people at the center want you to do a take off? It's only 5# why not get it off faster?

Sharon- WTG! Congrats on the weightloss!

Kimbova- sorry those delicious potatoes got to you, you'll be able to resist them next time.

Kathy

I am Tab 04-08-2003 10:46 AM

KitKat....Congrats on the loss. My center told me that they would not put me on the 3 day because they only like to give it to people who have been off plan for 2 or more weeks and they show a significant weight gain. Even though I am so close to goal I am actually 10lbs under the goal that I set for myself when I first walked into LAWL. So they know that I can lose the weight with out the juice. Which is no big deal because I still have 4 or 5 weeks of weight loss left before stabilization. And I am hoping that I can lose these last 5lbs in that time frame. To be honest I am very nervous about starting stabilization. Afraid of gaining weight back. That is why I want to be at 130 so I have 5lbs to play with. So close but yet I feel so far away. You know these last 5lbs can be the worst.

Sharon.....I do weigh in 3x a week but that is becuase my center is not even 2 miles from my home and gym...it is kinda in the middle. So yes I do like to weigh in 3x. It keeps me in line. Sometimes I get upset if I see only a small loss or a gain. But I like being held accountable. If I had to drive 25 miles each time that would be a different story. Can you talk with the center and maybe only weigh once a week? I have tried the new carmel bar...it was OK. I enjoy the luna bars better.

Kimbova 04-08-2003 01:15 PM

Good Afternoon Ladies,
 
It's been a day here at work as usual but I'm surviving.

Tab-still a great job on the 5lbs. I hate switching my weigh-in times, some morning, some evenings. I really think it affects your weight. When I would go on Sat, I was there by 8 AM but the other days I would get there around 6:30 PM. Tab, right now, I'm still on the plan but I've taken out a lot of the carbs, this is a great down fall for me so the less of them I eat, the better I do. Once I get started on even a piece of bread or a small piece of candy, I just lose it and can't seam to stop. Today starts my 2nd week of trying this way w/the plan, I'll weigh myself this week, but I know I've lost. I feel like a bum walking around in some of my clothes, they're getting to big.

Yesterday, after I left work, I went straight home and started trying on some clothes I've never worn but bought and said that fameous line "I'll Get Into Soon" or "I only need to lose 10lbs to wear this and it's such a great deal, I just can't pass it up". Some of these outfits still have the tags hanging from them. I'm still not at the point of buying new clothes because I still have things in my closet I can't were but my everyday work attire is looking quite big, and that's a good thing:) I need to do this in order to stay motivated, my hubbie was there with me and giving his opinion. He has finally notice or finally said something about my weight loss. I believe he's pleased but he always says he loves me just the way I am (what a sweet man, most of the time). After awhile, he said are you going to cook dinner tonight? I kinda got cought up in trying on clothes.

Hi Sharon--all is well here. I had a good eating night and so far today it's been very good. 25 miles to a center, I complained about my 20 minute ride out of my way but I would try to go. If I was 25 miles Sharon, I don't know. I guess it's an individual choice. My center wouldn't let me do once a week and my work schedule had gotten so hectic that I just couldn't make it during the week, so I but the next 4 weeks on hold. Good luck with your decision.:o

Kathy--:bravo: :cb: You go girlfriend! Just the motivation you needed. I know what you mean, I'm hoping to see at least 5lbs gone when I weigh this weekend. I've only messed-up one meal in the last 2 weeks, but sometimes that can make the difference.

Well, I think I've written enough, time to get back to work! Have a happy & healthy Tuesday!:) :dancer: :cb: :wave: :D

I love these icons:love:

dianem1 04-08-2003 01:41 PM

Kathy:
You are tempting me to do the two-day juice even though I hate doing it.
Tab my center says the same thing about the 3-day they always offer me the 2-day one which I find hard to do especially if you work out.
Sharon I was not as happy with the carmel bars as I thought I would be. The biscotti are pretty good I don't get them to much because I would have more than I was supposed to. The shakes taste pretty good but I only use them if I am really busy, I find I get hungry faster with them.
Diane

Sharon44 04-08-2003 06:08 PM

What is the 2 day compared to the 3 day?
I am doing the 5 day Ultra express. I never did that last year.
The only thing missing is the dairy.

I am Tab 04-09-2003 08:43 AM

Good Morning All!!

Again it is a cold and rainy day. I thought spring was here. *smile* Tonight is weigh in....we will see how I do. I have been OP. Went out shopping last night so my friend and I ate at the Ruby Tuesday salad bar....I hope that will be OK. I don't eat the pasta or potato stuff because I don't like mayo....so I just had a nice big salad...with a little extra toppings and some croutons...mmm mmm good

dianem1.....My center told me that they would not even suggest the 2 day to me unless I was not going to work out for 2 days. I saw the 2 day and if I remember correctly you get to have 2 bars, 6 oz protein and 2 vegetables and I think something else for the 2 days and that is it. It is a pretty tough 2 days....but I am sure you would see results

Sharon44....I can't remember the express....I know you do the express right after the 3 day. I did it back in November so I don't really remember....

Well everyone have a great day and I will check back in later.

Kitkat3NY 04-09-2003 12:55 PM

Hi everyone!

I had a great day yesterday, today i've been craving a peanut and butter sandwich so I made one to go w/ my lunch w/ lite bread and reduced fat peanut butter. I say it's worth having it if I want it, besides the alternative is much worst. Feeling deprieved, then the binging. No way I want to get caught up in that cycle again.

Tab- when I did the 2-day this weekend, I workout 30min each day with cardio. I just felt funny doing nothing, it wasn't that bad and I wasn't that weak.

What is the 5-day ultra express? Anyone?

Diane- did you get my email? I think you should do the 2-day.

Kimbova- Congrats on the loosing of your work clothes!

Kathy

dianem1 04-09-2003 01:22 PM

Hi Ladies:
I decided not to do the two day, I just could not face starving for two days.
Sharon besides what Tab said, you also get the juice 4x a day.
I do not notice any different results doing the ultra, how is a glass of milk going to make that much difference.
Tab my center never mentioned not working out when doing the two-day, but you know it does make since.
Kathy I am glad you are feeling better about yourself. I am still a work in progress, just trying to stay focused.
Diane

Where is everyone????

Hope things are OK with everyone!!

Well just wanted to give a quick update. I had weigh in last night
I was down...1.6oz...so that puts me at a total loss of 39.6lbs almost 40lbs. I only have a few more lbs to go. I get measured this Saturday when I go back. It is weird to think that i started this journey 5 months ago. It has been a struggle but a struggle well worth it.

Well I hope everyone is doing OK....

Chat with you later....

Kitkat3NY 04-10-2003 09:47 AM

Hi,

Tab- congrats on your weightloss!

I didn't make it yesterday. I had chinese for dinner. I'm a little upset w/ myself, but at least I didn't let that little cheat linger. I'm back on track today!

Kathy

Sharon44 04-10-2003 09:58 AM

Ultra Express
 
I forgot to add about the ultra express that you cannot have beef or tuna, plus no dairy.
I have to weigh in tomorrow. Hopefully this helped more.
I am setting up my workout. I am going through my videos to see which ones I want to use. I walked on my treadmill first thing this morning. Man, am I ever out of shape.
Thought I would work out on the treadmill 10 minutes at a time.
I watched Walk away the Pounds video which my Mom bought and is letting me use.
She falls asleep when first viewing the video.
She is so funny. I remember years ago she bought the Jane Fonda workout video. She fell asleep and she said that when she woke up that Jane Fonda was still working out.
Oh well, back to viewing the videos.
:)

dianem1 04-10-2003 01:13 PM

Sharon:
I usually preview my videos before I do them, if I am watching them at night I seem to fall asleep also. I don't know why.
Hey Kathy Chinese is not that bad there are worse things.
Tab what a great weightloss, in five months yet.
Diane

I am Tab 04-10-2003 02:35 PM

Good Afternoon Everyone....

Kitkat3NY....I know exactly what you mean about craving a PB&J sandwich. As you can tell from my past post I crave peanut butter. I usually eat reduced fat peanut butter and sugar free jelly but it takes sooooo good. I usually eat if right from the jar. I should put on bread but I just get the spoon and go for it. Many times I eat way too much

Sharon44.....I have tried several times to do the videos at home. I just can't do it. I usually end of sitting on the couch and watching them. Or I am not motivated enough to get up and actually do them. I like the gym atmosphere....I get my motivation from others. Before long that 10 minutes will turn into 30. It happens so fast....all it takes it to get into a routine. Once that happens it because a part of your everyday life and it is good for you.

Well I want to thank everyone for all the support and the nice words of encourgement....we can all do this...we just need to stay focused....and we have the support of each other. Everyone have a great weekend and I will chat with you on Monday.

Kimbova 04-10-2003 02:40 PM

Hello to all!

I'm taking a moment to post without reading. It's been a day here at work, I've been in a meeting all morning long and I'm getting ready for another.

I just wanted to check-in and say I'm still here!

Congrats to all those who lost this week!

Hopefully, I'll write more tomorrow.

Kitkat3NY 04-10-2003 02:51 PM

Hi all,

Thanks Diane. Your right,I could've had worst!

Tab- nice to see a fellow peanut butter addict. I don't know what it is about the stuff that just makes me crave it. At least its a healthy craving.

Kimbova- good luck on your weigh in tomorrow.

kathy

Kimbova 04-11-2003 08:33 AM

Good morning to all!

This week has been quick and long at the same time, if that's possible? I've been very busy at work, church & home so I haven't had time to really focus on myself. Even still, I've stuck to plan and not cheated all week, which I'm very proud of.

When I'm stress, I eat and this week would have been a great week to do just that, but thank God I kept my focus. At night when I get home, I've been trying on clothes that use to fit or even some that I still have the price tags hanging from them. It has been such an inspiration for me to stick with my plan. I tried on a suit that I bought 2 years ago (never worn), and it fit with a little extra room. I was so excited about that. My hubbie thinks I'm crazy because I'm trying on clothes. I even tried some on this morning at 4 AM. He told me that he new I was excited but he thought my timing for trying on clothes and wanting his opinion while he was trying to get dress for work was not good. Even still, he's excited because he sees that I'm excited about seeing my body change.

Anyway, it's another busy day and tomorrow I will weigh myself and give the new on Monday. You all have a great day today and a healthy weekend!

I will check in later.

Kitkat3NY 04-11-2003 09:54 AM

I went from bad to worse yesterday. But today i'm much better. I had a binge. I'm just so upset w/ myself, and feel like this weight is never going to come off! Well i'm back OP today, I just don't have my heart in it but i'm still sticking to the plan.

Kimbova- congrats on fitting into a smaller size!

Kathy

Kimbova 04-11-2003 12:28 PM

Come on Kathy, you can do it, I know you can!

We all have those day but just regroup and get your focus off of what you see now and see yourself as the weight you want be. I know this is hard but it's the only way we will make it Kathy. We've got to believe that we can do it and focus our will on the outcome not the here and now.

Even with seeing my body change, I'm still not satisfied but I can't focus on that or I'll get all messed up and loss my determination.

Hang-in there girl, we're here with you to encourage you to continue on, even when it don't feel good!

Kimbo

Kitkat3NY 04-11-2003 04:00 PM

Kimbova- that's great advise you gave me. Your right, i'm stuck in the moment instead of keeping my eyes on the prize. It's so hard to look ahead though, knowing that I look and feel louzy.

But, thank you for the encouragement. I've been good so far and don't plan on straying for the weekend.

Kathy

Kimbova 04-14-2003 08:44 AM

Good morning ladies!!
 
I hope all had a great weekend!

Kathy-how'd you do this weekend, I know we stayed on plan. I hope you're feeling a lot better today.

Tab-how are things going with you? You are definately my hero! Sometimes things look so complex but when we get there we realize it wasn't as hard as we thought. Now the tough part--keeping it off. We think lossing is hard, but I believe keeping it off is tougher. Anyway, congrats on your achievement!

I weighed and measured myself this weekend and to my surpise I was down 11lbs and 15 inches overall. It was truly a great inspiration to me. Total lost 40lbs!! It really boost my ego.

My next small term goal is 9lbs by my birthday, which is May 6, so I'm really going to work on this. After that milestone, it's all down hill from there.

You girls have a great day and keep up the good work!

Kitkat3NY 04-14-2003 09:39 AM

Kimbova- Congrats on your loss! ALRIGHT!

I stayed w/ the plan this weekend and didn't stray. I haven't lost any weight yet but i'm going to be a patient girl.

How'd everyone else do?

Kathy

I am Tab 04-14-2003 10:36 AM

Hello Ladies!!

Happy Monday!!

Well I did good at Saturdays weigh in. I was down 2lbs. Only 2lbs to go. But as I have said in the past I don't trust my Saturday morning weigh in. Tonight will be the true test. I stayed pretty much on plan....but....I did have ice cream cake....and the center told me to count it as a startch, diary and fat. And I did...so we shall see how I did.

Also, we had company this weekend. My husbands mother. It was a nice visit but I couldn't wait until Sunday morning when she left. I don't know I have only been married not quite 6 months but are all mother-in laws bad. I mean...she had nothing positive to say. I just try to smile but....sometimes I can't. She wasn't all that great towards me before we were married. I don't know...there is a whole lot that I could say about her but I am trying to be nice and not disrespectful.....believe me...me and hubby had a big long talk after she left. I would rather have him go visit her then to have her at our home. It was just bad...that is all I can stay. To be honest I was soooo stressed that I couldn't overeat because my stomach was so upset. I know I shouldn't let her upset me that way....but she does. I won't even mention his sister...that is a totally different story *smile* Thanks goodness she lives in Florida.

Well enough of my compalining......

Kim....WTG....that is totally awesome...I am soooooo happy for you. Yes, seeing those lbs and inches come down in an amazing things. You can keep it all focused when you see the numbers coming down. 9lbs by May 6th very obtainable.....just keep your eye on that prize...you should set a reward for yourself. If you lose 9lbs by your b-day you will buy yourself _______ (fill in the blank). I reward myself. I love shoes....so needless to say...every 5lbs I lose I buy shoes.....my hubby just shakes his head. Keep up the good work...I am routing for you. And I am here if you need support.

Kitkat....Staying OP is a big accomplishment. I was the same weight for 3 weeks and then it just starting coming down. Sometimes I think we shock our bodies and it will react by holding onto the weight or by showing us a loss. So hang in there girl....you will see something.

Well everyone have a great day and I will check back in.

Kimbova 04-14-2003 01:41 PM

Great Job Tab!--sometimes those last pounds are the hardest but you're doing it!....Girl, I know about them in-laws, my husbands mom is deceased but I know if she was alive we probably wouldn't be married if she was alive. He's a momma's boy. After 6 years of marriage, I've just started getting along with my husbands sister & brother. They just disliked me for no reason and when asked by my husband why, they could never respond. Anyway, it's been a challenge to the point of not having anything to do with them for years, but thank God things have changed and the sister & I have even developed a relationship. Hangin there, I know it's hard. I use to tell people, if you get along with your in-laws than you're blessed! My father-in-law was the only person who never interferred in our marriage. It was a living **** for almost 4 years.

Kitkat--Great job staying on plan. The weekends are the hardest for me. If I can get through the weekend then I can make it through the week. When you do see a lost it will be worth the wait. We didn't put it on in a day, a week, or a month so we've got to patient about getting it off. Hang in girl, we're here with you!

Have a great afternoon ladies!

I am Tab 04-14-2003 02:31 PM

Kim...It sounds like you know exactly what I am talking about. We still don't have a relationship with his sister since the way she acted at our wedding. It was soooo childish...and she is in her early 30's. And of course to his mother his sister did nothing wrong...it was all his fault. Sometimes I think having nothing to do with them is the best. My husband has an 11yr old from his first marriage soooo we have to deal with the grandma...but with don't have to deal with his sister...thank goodness. The reason I think the don't care for me is because I came into his life and became a big part. He was no longer at their beck and call....and they just didn't like that. I could go on and on about this but I won't. You seem to totally understand what I mean. I am hoping that as time passes it will get better. I try to make it work with his mother out of respect...but it is sooo hard when I just want to bite her head off.

Thanks for letting me vent this morning...I tell you if she didn't upset me soo bad where I couldn't eat I know I would have over eat this weekend...well I did indulge in the ice cream cake...boy was that good.

cheer 04-14-2003 03:36 PM

So embarassed!!!
 
Hey guys-

Some of you might remember me, I used to post here in the Fall....when I lost 20 lbs on LAWL in 2 1/2 months.

Well, the holidays hit and I cheated and gained ALL OF IT back from Dec to March. I finally went back to the center last week and I have lost 4 lbs already, but I was so angry at myself.

I have to buy more weeks now...the plan works, I just gotta stick to it. I have to say, I was delighted (and SO JEALOUS) to see some familiar names still posting, who have really succeeded at this.

So, I'm crawling back here, tail between my legs, totally defeated and embarassed and looking for support!!!

Tab- Thanks for the encouraging words. I remember back in the Fall, you and I were at the same point, and look at you now...in a size 6, while I am back in a 14!

Oh well, forging ahead....

I joke with my husband that I am a "warm weather dieter". I swear, it is so much easier when it is nice out. Here in New England, we got socked with a killer winter, and I just wanted to eat and hibernate!

Question for the group....I really enjoy the experience of going out to eat...but find it VERY hard on LAWL (as opposed to weight watchers) to find something that I can actually eat. I find that fast food tracker to be pretty useless. Anyone have any suggestions for eating out??

Hello Everyone....

Well again...at weigh in last night I was up 1.4lbs...I don't know what to think...I think I do good...and even count the ice cream cake and I gain....who knows....I am not too worried about it I have been OP and I will see what happens on Wednesday. I will get to my goal...I will....I will.

Cheer...Going out to dinner is tough. I usually get the grilled chicken salad...every place has one. To be honest since I have been on this diet our eating out experiences have not been that great. I just don't like to do it anymore because I can't enjoy the things that i want. I wanted to get the weight off and then I will work with the eating out...Winter is a hard time to diet....that is why I joined LA in November...it kept me honest....now that summer is here I love all the fresh fruits and vegetables...I love when we have our farmers markets in the summer. And to be honest I usually eat more fruits and vegetables than what LA suggest.

Well everyone have a great day and I will check back in later...

Good morning ladies!

....and welcome back cheer! I wish I could give you suggestions about eating out but I don't see a lot of room for doing that with LAWL. The plan really works but you must stick with it the nail.

Tab-I hope it gets better as time goes on, I tell my hubbie if your mother was living we might not be married (such a momma's boy). Anyway, I experienced the same thing not with just immediate family but cousins, aunts, uncles, grandmom. The whole family on both sides, father & mothers side hated me. They never thought our marriage would last past 2 years and now they see I'm not going no where. Stand your ground and as long as your husband don't allow them to disrespect you than you're on the right track.

Kitkat-How are you doing today? Hangin there with us, we're supporting each other.

Until later today, have a great one!
