Hi,
 

LaDean, you are doing great with your points. It's good to vary your points, that way it jumps your metabolism. The 51 points you had the other day isn't bad. From different posts I've seen, 1 pt. = 50 cal., but that doesn't include the calories you eat in the 0 point veggies that you're allowed. So, it is a rough estimate. Keep up the good work.

Kathy, how was your day yesterday? I get Hoods sugar free fudgicles. Do you get Hoods in your area?

5/15:
B:shredded wheat, blueberries, strawberries, skim milk, black coffee
L:turkey sandwich on whole-wheat bread, slice lo-fat cheese, 1 oz. vegetable chips, coleslaw, diet soda
D: DH & I shared the left over chicken parmesan I had the night before, coleslaw, slice of whole wheat bread w/butter, glass of red wine.
Snack: s/f jellow w/ lite Cool Whip, decaf coffee

Have a great day!
Aleka

Hi all,

How's everyone doing? I'm fine, and i'm still eating well. Yesterday and today I had starch in the form of WASA crackers, and Sat. Sun & Mon, i'll be starch free.

Aleka- I've never heard of Hood's sugar products, but i'm going to keep my eye out for the. Do they only make one flavor, what's you fav? You menu looks very wholesome! Very balanced. I'm heading out to Florida in July, I read SS book and I am also looking into D.S. book as well, I like her principle. And I did read Atkins book. I'm just trying to take the best principle from all and incorporate into something that will work for me. Mainly it boils down to starches and sugar.

LaDean-A lot of people do fluxuate their pts and fine that they do see better results that way.

Menu 5/15 Thu
Breakfast- 2 eggs, 3 slice turkey bacon, 1 slice cheese
Snack- 2 Wasa crackers, 2 slice cheese
Lunch-chicken & broccoli, diet soda, jello
Snach- Balance bar
Dinner-2 hamburgers no bun, salad, FF jello, some popcorn

Kathy

i had a good day. stayed same last week for tops weigh in, i was so happy.... but this week will be a loss i am ready to get with it. thanks aleka i would like to stay lower end with pts but just starting again this week i thought it was ok.ha
Breakfast.... hot dog roll, weiner, milk
Lunch.... tomatoe soup and hot dog roll and weiner
Dinner.... rice roni total of pts are 34 ( good)
as you see i eat anything i am hungry for a breakfast so sometimes not breakfast things. ha was tops day so ate later...
I never got exercise in today... i am plugged up so its allergies as i am not sick... got some allergie medicine going to take at bedtime now its later...

You both are doing great... Happy for you.. do you ever go to www.diettalk.com i do and its neat to.. i like to go to different ones. well hey have a good evening. till later LaDean

It's Saturday!
 

Good morning.....

LaDean, congratulations on staying the same! That is just as important as losing weight. Thanks for the diettalk site. I went into it and registered. So...I may see you over there. I got on the scale this morning and I've GAINED 2 more lb.! This is NOT good. I have to start getting serious about something ASAP.

Kathy, I think that Hoods products may be just sold in New England, but I'm not totally sure about that. I always get the chocolate fudgsicles because it satisfies my chocolate cravings whenever I get them. I think I will start the Atkins using 40g. of carbs per day and see how it goes. I don't think I'd be able to do induction with only 20g. per day. Tomorrow we'll be going out and I'll pick up a good carb counter book. Ya, I like some of D S way of eating, but sometimes is too strict. Some of the Ssizers were doing both, using Suzanne's WOE and adding a few carbs with their meals, and not food combining. They were losing too.

I won't post my menu for yesterday because it wasn't all that good.

Have a great weekend.
Aleka

hi there
 

Yes i was so happy to stay the same. scales the same or down a bit this am. forgot to weigh before i ate breakfast.... ha i am addicted to the weighing daily.ha Do not FRET now aleka you know how to do it. so getting back into your plan and moving forward now is what counts. yesterday has been forgotten we look forward to today... so go for it... i am going to be a good girl.

Hope you guys had a good weekend. My eating was sort of ok. I thought I had gained 2 more lbs., but got on the scale again this morning, and they're gone. It must have been water weight.

LaDean, I like the dietalk site. Thank you for your PM over there. How did you know that was me on the dietalk site? I'm glad you figured it out. How is Tuffy? Lacee is doing fine.

Kathy, hope you had a good OP weekend.

Have a good day.
Aleka

Goodmorning,

I had a great weekend. I actually joined Jenny Craig this weekend. I just can't take the yo-yoing to nowhere anymore. I need to see results and I just keep playing around so I joined. I join the package "loose 20# for $20". That's only half the weight I need to loose but it's worth it for now.

I ate well all last week except for Sunday where I had like 3 donuts thoughtout the day.

Aleka- Are you starting a modified Atkins program today? I found some fudgecicles but they are not Hoods though. They'll do the trick. lol

LaDean- How is WW coming along?

Kathy

doing ok
 

Hi, I am doing good with the pts. trying to watch the starches like potatoes and bread to and of course the sweets.

KIT, So with the program you started is the food extra with that price and all??? we do not have it close here but i have heard good of it. glad you finally decided on a plan you will do good on it. Know what you mean just trying them all gets disgusting and which way to turn sometimes. they make them all sound so good. GOOD LUCK.....

ALEKA, I looked for your name here then i saw that and clicked on it and went to your profile and then knew it was you... glad you came over i like that one you responded on to. it makes alot of sense to me.. i think we each have to find what helps us then i combine several and go from there. but i liked that board. had not gone to it.. I have my own exercise page and all in there. i go in same name as here.. i do it daily and i respond to the tops one and several there. so are you going on the atkins plan??? hope you do well. i am doing it some... if i get hungry going for protein or cheese or something in that line.. trying to not think of eating and staying more busy... if i am in here responding to the boards its great i am not eating.ha ha ha tuffy is fine., well he has some days has harder day with his back end and lefted leg dragging it. tires out alot with it and just has to sit down. sad but we have him and i am so thankful for prayers answered. I am also doing a bible study with my losing and it helps me. tuffy says hi..

BREAKFAST..... Oatmeal. milk,
LUNCH.... chunk of cheese
DINNER..... ?
I did walk this am so that was a plus.ha Have a good day the both of you.... your doing good proud of you... Hey :bravo: for the losses,,,, my scales were down 1 1/2 this am i was a happy trooper.lol we can and we will do it.. we will find our plan and we will stick to it....... LaDean:) :nono: foods we will stay away from....

Hi all,

I'm loving this program, I think this can actually get me to my goal weight without feeling hungry and deprived.

LaDean- the food is extra, I pay for it each week at my weigh-in. The food is delicious actually. I'm just so tired of trying this and that and going no where! I'm glad WW is working for you.

Aleka- How are you doing w/ the eating?

Menu 5/19
Breakfast- 2oz cereal, 1/2c SF grapefuit juice, 2 egg whites
Snack-apple
Lunch- Chicken & Broccoli stuffed sandwich, 1/2c SF jello, diet soda
Snack-yogurt
Dinner-chicken & fettuccini, diet soda, 1c green beans
snack- small chocolate cake

Kathy

Hi!
 

Kathy, that's fantastic you are so enthused about Jenny Craig. You definitely will reach your goal. The foods that you are eating sound great. How long do you eat their food before you can start shopping for yourself? Do you pick and chose what you want to eat, or do they do it for you? I have seen their commercials and I've always wondered what they were all about. Sorry for all the questions. I've gone into the dietalk site that LaDean posted and I'm on a forum of people trying the "no diet" approach, where you just watch portions, try to eat healthy, and exercise. I'm going to try to do that for awhile because I am tired of "being on a diet" and counting things. I am just going to go light on the carbs, eating my 1 carb meal a day on most days. I wish you the best of luck with Jenny Craig.

LaDean, glad that WW is working for you. Have you tried that Christian Diet program, Weigh Down? I think there is a book on that diet.

5/19:
B: shredded wheat 'n' bran, blueberries, strawberries, skim milk, black coffee
Snack: plain yogurt w/imitation coconut flavoring, splenda, and blueberries
L: (out with a friend) turkey sandwich on rye bread, cole slaw, black decaf coffee, ice water
D: wheat pasta, 4 turkey meatballs, sauce, black iced coffee
S: 1/16 of a pie made with s/f cherry jello, s/f vanilla pudding, lite cream cheese, in a chocolate ready made graham cracker crust

Have a good day.
Aleka

its ok
 

KIT, So very happy the program is one you like. i know you will reach goal on it. so happy you went to it and like it... i have heard alot about it. My neighbor had the whole program at her garage sale last summer and i was going to get it and never. i have so many videos and all. your food sounds good. good luck to you.. go for that GOAL GAL... you can do it.

ALEKA, yes i am like you i went to that board you started and read some on it. sounds neat. so i am doing that for awhile now. counting the pts still but eating what i really want. going off sugar and all still. but the pts are easier then the counting cal for me.ha i change off and on and does not get boaring.. I had my walk this am. i sure feel crapy.haha these allergies never had this before a first. but can still do and so i will live with it. not letting it keep me from walking and all. sunshine is out today as was yesterday. hubby is out plowing up the garden again in my spot for flowers. so this evening we will get some in... frost 2 nites but covered the tomatoes so never got them. so happy about that. it hit some of my dalias but not to bad they will come out of it i am sure. sure got lots coming up. all red ones. got a few colored ones. i am getting laundry done today. like to hang things outside.. so fresh...

BREAKFAST..... omlette, milk
Lunch......
Dinner/......

points were in range yesterday trying for lower end of them.ha Have a good day the both of you. LaDean:)

Hi,
 

Kathy, how is your Jenny Craig coming along? Is it as miserable weatherwise where you are as it is here?

LaDean, I love hanging clothes outside to dry. But, we put feeders out for the birds and the clothes are in their fly zone. There were many times I had to rewash the sheets!:lol: So, needless to say I don't do that anymore.;) How is your eating going?

menu 5/21
B: shredded wheat, blueberries, strawberries, skim milk, black coffee
L: salad w/chicken salad & almonds, 2 T. regular salad dressing, diet soda
D: spaghetti, 2 turkey meatballs, 1 light beer

Hope you have a good day.
Aleka

aleka, hope the weather starts getting better there. it sure is here. so nice and warm. to warm for me just do not take the heat. had a nice walk this am. was getting warm when i finished. but allergies better so that helped. I am having a good day and hope yours and Kits is also...
breakfast..... scramble eggs and toast... milk so far so good. scales are down 1 1/2 so its watch today as weigh tomorrow morning. so i am a happy one got to have a loss.ha LaDean

Hi all,

I love this diet. I'm so thankful to have my carbs back!

Aleka- I don't get to pick my foods until week 3. They pick the menu for me so I can taste all their foods. So far everything i've tasted I've loved. I'm so sick of being on a diet as well and having to watch pts, carbs, etc. It's so nice not to have to think about anything for a while.

LaDean-What is diettalk all about? Just people talking about diets? How is WW coming along?

Menu 5/21
Breakfast- 2oz cereal, 1/2c SF grapefuit juice
Snack-2 WASA crackers, 2 slice Kraft 2% cheese
Lunch- Bean and ham soup, diet soda
Snack-skipped snack
Dinner-turkey, garlic mash potatos, green beans
snack- fudgecicles, popcorn

Kathy

I am doing ok. get tired of all the counting also. so mainly just eating what i want and trying to stay within the pts for me. so far its going good. i get bored with cal so count pts. it helps me to keep a eating journal.. i do not mind it.. i had no lunch today and no dinner tonite. just drinking some juice. tops in the am and i want these scales to stay down. sides that i am not even hungry. ate a filling breakfast cause knew i was going to do this today... Hey Kit glad its working for you. my friend liked it.. i am so happy you found something you like.
Yes diettalk is like this message boards and all. i like the different ones. It has the No diet approach and I am trying to think in this order. its helping me. i just add pts to what i eat. not paying so much attention. just eating what i should.
Aleka, Hope your day is going good. Have you still not started a program?? I walked this am and had a good one... have a good evening the both of you. tuffy says woof lacee. LaDean

Aleka- How are you doing?

LaDean- I think I may go and check out diettalk, thanks. I hear ya on getting tired of counting this and that. You sound like you have it together though. Let me know how your weigh-in went.

Kathy

Kathy, that is fantastic that you like Jenny Craig so much. When is your weigh in? Let us know how you do. Well....I got on the scale this morning and I gained 2 lb. I don't think the "no-diet" way is going to work that well. I have some rethinking to do.

LaDean, how did your weigh in go at TOPS? Lacee says WOOF to Tuffy.

Take care and have a good holiday weekend.
Aleka

hot today
 

Aleka, i lost 1 lb today at tops. so i was a happy one. 2 weeks without a gain now. so that is good for me... i am seeing if i can go now and not gain. got up to 10 weeks before and no gains. so giving it a try again...
My point average is 26-31
5/16 34
5/17 30
5/18 37
5/19 33
5/20 21
5/21 19
5/22 17
so it was a good week. I am trying to stay at lower end more this week... I never got walk in so going to try and do ex bike for today. is cool in here and quite hot outdoors. i jsut do not take to the heat. tuffy says woof to lacee
So the no diet approach is not doing its thing. i am wondering about it to. i looked into the eating plan now of the body for life and it might be ok. have you looked at it... www.ivillage.com has the plan interesting... its 6 small meals a day... checking it out..
What i do is take several plans i like and make one for me... so maybe do that and it will help. not as much to remember and all. i just keep a journal for tops. we pay or keep one. so helps me to do it. i tryed going to the sites to do it and its easier to do from labels and then accurate i think... good luck in finding what you want. sometimes just need a rest looking for one to. ha

Kit, so happy your happy with yours. and that its working for you. Yes be sure and let us know what you do on it...
well you both have a great day.... Nice memorial weekend to. we just stay home do not like being on the road. got garden all in now and my flowers all set out... now can sit back and be ready for the work ahead.ha ha LaDean:)

Just hope the both of you days are going good. notice you have not been on here. i am having a good weekend.. keeping the points where they should be. scales are not all that bad for a Monday ... spent yesterday with kids and grandbabies so a fun day.. Have a good day.. LaDean

Hope you both had a great holiday weekend.

LaDean, congratulations on the 1 lb. weight loss!:bravo: My eating was not very good these past few days. It's been raining here since Friday. I haven't been able to do any walking. Body for Life is a good plan, but I think you have to do a lot of weight training along with the meal plan. There is a thread on this website about BFL. Maybe you could check it out to see what it's all about. I've been into it, and the recipes sound really good.

Kathy, how are you doing with Jenny Craig? Hope you had a good OP weekend.

Have a good day.
Aleka

yes for sure
 

Hi, yes there is alot of body things with it. i have decided to just exercise and do my thing. with portions alot.. i get to trying so many things and blow it. ha ha today scales are down another lb i am so happy. so got to be a good girl. cause each day can be diffferent.ha Hey we all have days not good. but one good thing is we hop right on the trail again. get with our plans and watching it.

I haven't been doing much in the exercise dept. because it's been raining just about every day..not to mention the bugs from all the moisture we've been having:p and I've been on the go since the holiday. I haven't posted on the dietalk site in a few days.

Hi guys,

Sorry i've been MIA. Things got really busy at work this past week. I love, love, love JC. It's the perfect program for me. In the past 4wks I have lost 10#. I lost 6# the week before I went to JC.

LaDean- Congrats on the weightloss! Are you still doing WW? Just curious, what other board did you see me on?

Aleka- What's up? Anything new? So the no-diet approach isn't working for you? What plans intersts you?

Hi!
 

I've been really busy and haven't had the chance to post lately.

LaDean, how is Tuffy? I hope he's feeling better. Lacee is doing fine. Yesterday DH & I took her into Petco with us to buy some dog food and cookies for her. She surprised us and was very good.:D Lacee says WOOF! That's good you stayed the same at your weigh in. That is just as important!

Kathy, congratulations on your weight loss!:cp: :cb: That is wonderful that you like JC so well and that it's really working for you. There really is no diet plan I am interested in doing. I did lose those 2 lbs. that I had gained. I am just watching portion sizes. I made some 0 point vegetable soup the other day and I've been having that occasionally whenever I've had a higher calorie meal. I did buy a CURVES book at BJ's the other day. They have instructions for "at home" exercises, so I think I'll give that a shot. I still have to read it through.

Take care. Have a great day.
Aleka

hi

Have a great day the both of you.... LaDean:)

Hi!
 

LaDean, it's good that you've decided to count calories instead of points. That way you don't get bored doing the same thing. Please do send some of your heat this way.:^: All we seem to be getting is rain with one or two days of sun inbetween. It's only in the 50's here today.

Kathy, congratulations on losing 11 lb. That is really fantastic!!!:cp: :high: I don't seem to be in a dieting frame of mind at the moment. Hopefully things will change.

Have a good evening.
Aleka

Aleka, i am to .. i think i can lose more watching the calories. my friend and i are both doing it now.. It helped me the last few days to do it.. I have just forgot i cannot have this and i can have this. i am just eating what i want. leaving sugar alone. but if i want something have a serving and quit.. as i know i cannot just live with out it forever and do not want to.ha ha We all need a rest i have taken them before. then when you come back with a program or what ever it is you decided on then you willl do good on it.. so good luck to you....
Hey Kit keep losing maybe some of the luck will rub off on me.ha got tops in the am. scales down tonite so that is a good sign. but they varie daily. so i just wait and see... i am taking a rest on exercise. just giving these feet a rest. that way by next week i will be ready to walk again... LaDean

Good morning....:flow1:

LaDean, it makes it a lot easier when you have a friend doing a diet along with you. How did your weigh in go at TOPS? I seem to be gaining and losing the same 2 lbs. I really should be exercising. Right now I am going through some emotional issues, not too..too bad where I want to bury myself in gooey pizza :jeno: my comfort food, but enough so that it's too much of a bother to count calories or points.

Kathy, keep up the good work with JC. Your menu sounds awesome.

Take care and have a great weekend.
Aleka

YEHHHHHHH FOR ME
 

ALEKA,,, 2 1/4 down this week. i was so happy with me.. i really got in there and tryed... never got exercise in but is why i tried hard with eating and measured alot.. this is 3rd week no gain...

GOOD LUCK TO THE BOTH OF YOU. LaDean

LaDean- How's going? I'm fine. I lost 5# last week! I'm so happy, I did an official weigh-in at my center. How are you getting along?

Aleka- Where did you disappear to?

Kathy

I'm still here!
 

I've been busy trying to plant flowers inbetween rain storms.

Kathy, congratulations on your weight loss! :high: You're really going to town with losing weight. Good for you!

LaDean, way to go with your weight loss!:bravo: plus the walking you're doing. I know you have a weekly weigh in at TOPS, but how often do you weight yourself at home?

Both of you are putting me to shame!:o :lol: I really wish I could get in gear with the dieting. I feel so FAT! I may try the grapefruit diet again, to lose 5-10 lbs. I lost pretty fast on that. I have to have blood drawn tomorrow for a cholesterol check, and have a Dr. appt. a couple weeks later. That will give me time to lose some weight before I get yelled at. :lol:

Enjoy the rest of the day!
